"You are so arrogant! Who gave you the confidence to say that I came to the countryside for you? I just responded to the country's call and came to the countryside for construction." Su Tao's words left Shen Ziqian speechless, and his face flushed red.
Shen Ziqian, handsome and well-educated, had been admired since childhood. Su Taotao, though a bit spoiled and squeamish in the past, was truly kind to him. While he'd initially fallen in love with her, it was Su Taotao who'd always chased after him, greatly satisfying his vanity. Seeing Su Taotao give up her city job and move to the countryside for him, he'd been secretly delighted, but now, at Su Taotao's words, his face darkened.
There was so much information that Hu Xiao hadn't even figured it out yet. Seeing the three of them were on edge, he quickly rushed over to smooth things over and took Su Tao's hand, "Tao Tao, where's your luggage? Let me help you with it. It's getting late, let's go!"
Su Tao smiled faintly and said, "Let's go. I don't have any luggage. The luggage has been sent to the village earlier." After that, he pulled Hu Xiao and got on the ox cart first, without paying any attention to the two people behind him.
Shen Ziqian and He Xinyi both looked unhappy at Su Tao's disregard, their faces turning pale with anger. They didn't speak again along the way.
He Xinyi looked at Su Tao's beautiful face, lost in thought. He was still the same person, but after falling into the water, Su Taotao seemed different. The Su Taotao before was so stupid and dumb, how could he say such a curse word without using any dirty words.
After Shen Ziqian's anger subsided, he was somewhat surprised by the change in Su Taotao. Why hadn't he noticed Su Taotao's sharp words before? Although Su Taotao was arrogant, he was also uneducated, unsophisticated, and vulgar. He was handsome but a bit vulgar, which made him often ridiculed by his friends.
The current Su Taotao is as lively as water, with picturesque eyebrows and lips as red as blood. Her whole face is as beautiful as a blooming hibiscus, charming and graceful, as bright and attractive as a fairy. Even though he clearly hated her, his heart began to beat again.
The ox cart finally stopped when Su Yao was almost drowsy from shaking.
Hu Xiao said to the sleepy Su Tao, "It's crowded! Get off the bus! Wangjia Village is crowded!"
Su Tao was nearly exhausted from the bumpy ride. Looking at the barren land and the dilapidated village, he felt downcast. With a blank expression, he followed Hu Xiao toward the resettlement site for educated youth.
Su Tao was indeed beautiful, her skin radiant in the sunlight, a stark contrast to the dark-skinned villagers working around her. People kept looking at her along the way.
After dinner, the women had new gossip and started to whisper, "Hey, whose daughter is this? She's so pretty, like a fairy."
"Of course not. Look at those stinky men, their eyes are wide open."
"She's obviously a vixen. You guys should be careful that your men might be seduced by her."
