But in the end it didn't seem to achieve the desired effect, and they were still all together.

When they reached the top of the mountain, it was almost noon. Jiang Yihang and his friends found a flat place and spread out a picnic mat. The girls took out the food and put it on the table.

Ji Ling made rice dumplings, as well as simple potato salad and vegetable salad. Rice dumplings are a specialty of the North, so none of the people had ever eaten them before, and salads are only available in Western restaurants, but in comparison, Ji Zhenrenbang's tasted better.

Everyone sat together. The one with a delicate and considerate appearance was called Gu Baoshan, and the one with a strong physique was Meng Wenbin. He brought a lot of drinks with him this time, and as soon as they sat down, he poured them out of the backpack and let everyone drink as much as they wanted. Everyone then realized that his father was the director of the beverage factory.

The other one was a shy guy with dark skin named Hua Xiaoyu. He spoke very little and had a personality very similar to Gao Jing. He would blush when a girl looked at him. Meng Wenbin teased him a lot along the way.

Miao Man and Tang Meng love to talk, and Meng Wenbin loves to make people laugh, so with the three of them together, the atmosphere becomes lively.

Ji Ling mostly listened and would only say a few words when her name was called.

Gao Jing was completely ignored. As for Jiang Zheng, she was very cold and didn't even bat an eyelid when people were talking.

Everyone was talking excitedly, and at the instigation of Miao Man and Meng Wenbin, everyone even agreed to go out for a barbecue in the evening after descending the mountain.

And the three of them decided the matter right away.

Jiang Yihang looked at her with a smile, his eyes sometimes falling on Ji Ling. Ji Ling was very fair and had a delicate appearance. A red V-neck dress made her neck look slender, and the waist of the dress was pulled high, making her look tall and slender overall. Her short hair just covered her ears and wrapped her small face, making her look a little cute.

The white nurse shoes and white socks are a very ordinary outfit, but they make people's eyes light up.

Ji Ling was listening to everyone talking and didn't notice these things. Instead, someone in the crowd not far away noticed them.

I endured it again and again, and finally came over.

"Ji Ling."

Someone came over and looked for Ji Ling, interrupting everyone's conversation.

Ji Ling looked over and was also surprised. She stood up and said, "What a coincidence."

Lin Hai pursed his lips and said, "Unfortunately, I was also admitted to a university in the capital. Would it be convenient for you to chat for a while?"

Ji Ling nodded, and then said to everyone, "I'm from the same hometown. I'll go over there for a moment."

When they heard that he was a fellow villager, no one said anything.

Jiang Yihang's gaze followed.

The girl stood next to a big tree. Against the backdrop of green, her red skirt looked even more vivid and eye-catching.

"Brother, you are looking at Ji Ling."

Jiang Zheng leaned close to Jiang Yihang's ear and whispered something, then sat back down.

Jiang Yihang turned around and looked at his sister with a smile.

Jiang Zheng didn't look at him, but suddenly asked Miao Man, "Is Ji Ling married?"

Suddenly, someone said something and everyone stopped talking.

Miao Man nodded.

Jiang Zheng smiled and asked, "Did she tell me what her husband does?"

Miao Man shook her head. "I heard her say a few days ago that she was always on a business trip. She didn't say what she was doing."

Ji Ling did not hide the fact of her marriage, and on the day of reporting, her three brothers-in-law sent her to school. Miao Man felt that there was nothing she couldn't tell.

Jiang Zheng let out an "oh".

Jiang Yihang frowned, "Xiao Zheng, it's very rude to talk about other people behind their backs."

"knew."

Instead, Meng Wenbin was surprised. "She doesn't look that old, but I didn't expect she's married."

"Repeated a year, now I'm twenty-one."

Jiang Yihang looked at his sister with a serious look, "Do you know Ji Ling well?"

He knew his sister's personality well and knew she never cared about these things. But judging from his sister's tone, it was obvious that he knew her very well, which made him think deeply.

Jiang Zheng smiled faintly, "The top scorer in the college entrance examination repeated his studies for another year. Everyone knows that, right?"

Tang Meng nodded, "Yes, the instructor did say that, and Ji Ling also said in the dormitory that she is one year older than us and is repeating a year."

Meng Wenbin noticed something was wrong and said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this. How about going ice skating directly after having barbecue tonight?"

"No." Miao Man wanted to go, but she just couldn't learn it.

"This is easy. I'll teach you."

Soon, the topic was diverted.

On the other side, Ji Ling and Lin Hai avoided people and stood under a tree to talk.

"Just now I saw from a distance that it looked like you, but I didn't dare to recognize you until I heard them calling your name. I was sure it was you. You have changed a lot." Lin Hai had a stern face, his hands in his pockets, staring at Ji Ling, "I heard that you married an old man to pay for your father's surgery. Ji Ling, I know it was difficult for you at that time, but it is not wise to ruin your life's happiness like this."

"Old man? Chen Wanting told you that?" Ji Ling immediately guessed who said it.

"It doesn't matter who said it, Ji Ling. Although I was very honest with you in the past, and I know I was wrong, you are now admitted to university and can completely change your life with your own abilities. I hope you don't regret it for the rest of your life, and I don't want you to take this shortcut."

"Lin Hai, thank you for your concern, but you obviously don't understand my situation, and you obviously misunderstood a lot of things. I won't say more. I'm glad to meet you here. My classmates are still waiting for me, so I'll go back first."

"Ji Ling." Lin Di called her, "Ji Ling, I know I am being nosy, I hope you don't mind. Also, since you and your classmates are married, keep your distance and be loyal to your marriage."

Ji Ling's face darkened. "Thank you, but you better take care of yourself."

Cursing in her heart, Ji Ling strode away.

Who is this person?

I know that those who are involved with Chen Jingming and others are not good people.

When she walked back to her classmates, Ji Ling had a smile on her face.

On the other side, Lin Hai regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

He knew that if he said this, Ji Ling would misunderstand that he was saying that she was a bad woman. He had no ill intentions, he just wanted to remind her to pay attention to her lifestyle.

A girl from a small city, married into her husband's family because she was paying for her father's medical treatment, she was already one level lower, her husband was older and more likely to think too much, and she was so close to her male classmates. Lin Hai could imagine what Ji Ling would face if her husband's family knew about it.

His eyes gradually became firm. Lin Hai felt that he had to have a good talk with Ji Ling and couldn't let her destroy him.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone packed up and went down the mountain together.

We were very excited when we came, but when we came down the mountain everyone was a little tired and talked less.

Ji Ling was carrying a backpack that she had modified herself. It used to have thin straps, but she replaced them with wide straps so that it wouldn't squeeze her shoulders when she carried it cross-body.

"Let me get it for you." Jiang Yihang walked beside her.

Ji Ling was looking at the scenery around her. When she heard Jiang Yihang's words, she turned her head to look over. Jiang Yihang was very tall, and Ji Ling had to look up to see his face.

This reminded Ji Ling of Zhu Weidong, who was also that tall.
