He Xinyi watched Ziqian in his rage, her heart tingling with delight. That idiot Su Tao was still just as quick to explode as before. Back then, he'd believed everything she'd said. She'd told him that men liked spoiled women, finding them endearing and unique. Su Tao had obeyed, leaving her in despair, oblivious to Ziqian's utter inability to tolerate her. It was she who comforted Shen Ziqian after Su Tao's actions, bringing him solace. Su Tao, foolishly, still treated her like a close friend.
"Do I need you to care about me? Are you my mother or my father? Do you have anything to do with me?" Su Tao couldn't help rolling his eyes and retorted sharply.
Shen Ziqian was so angry that his face turned black. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Su Tao rushing towards the village entrance. He opened his mouth and watched Su Tao leave in silence.
-------------------------------------
Sun Chuanfang, in the crowd, heard the team leader assign Su Tao and He Chuan together. He was overjoyed. He hoped retribution wouldn't come so soon. No one in the entire team wanted to work with He Chuan. First, he did the most and the most tiring work. Second, he was known to be cold, aloof, and of poor social status. He was also known to be particularly vicious, so no one in the village dared to mess with him.
This time, Su Tao would work with him, and he would at least be skinned alive. Looking at his own skin, red and flaky from the wind and sun these days, and then comparing it to Su Tao's milky white and smooth skin, Sun Chuanfang's eyes were filled with jealousy.
Sun Chuanfang silently muttered, "He Chuan, Su Tao." A malicious smile played on her lips. Suddenly, she remembered something important: she could swim after falling into the water that day, and she had swum to shore on her own in no time. She had witnessed Su Tao's rescue with absolute clarity. If she spread the news, Su Tao would be doomed.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She took her hoe and hummed a song as she walked towards the edge of the field.
-------------------------------------
"Hey! Wait! He Chuan!" Su Tao shouted as he chased him, but the man seemed to be deaf to his words and had no intention of stopping. Su Tao had no choice but to speed up and continue chasing him.
The person in front seems to be walking slowly, but that can't be helped by his long legs. He is about 1.8 meters tall, and his legs are all below his waist. Wow, with that physique, one step of his is equivalent to 3-4 steps of Su Tao's jogging.
Su Tao had to use the same running momentum he had when he was in school to catch up with He Chuan. Oh my god, when he went out before, he either took the car or the subway. It had been a long time since he had run like this.
He Chuan heard Su Tao calling him, but he didn't intend to pay attention, and even quickened his pace. He was expecting the little girl to cry and give up and go find the captain to exchange work, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn and just speed up to chase after him.
He Chuan stopped and looked at Su Tao sitting on the ground without caring about his image, coughing and gasping, his little hands still tightly grabbing his trouser legs.
"Why didn't you call me when you left? I told you to wait, but you didn't stop!" Su Tao calmed down and scolded.
"I didn't hear it!" He Chuan looked at Su Tao's pink and fair face, which was slightly flushed due to the intense exercise. Her beautiful eyes like autumn water flashed with a hint of anger, which was particularly charming and seductive. He Chuan turned his head away and lied without changing his expression.
"Why are you like this? I heard you saved me that day, so I thought you were a bitch and wanted to thank you..." Su Tao pouted, accusing him indignantly while also flattering him. In the original story, the spoiled Su Taotao had offended He Chuan, and her fate was tragic. But now, she hadn't done anything, and He Chuan hadn't even met He Xinyi yet. She had to establish a relationship with the future boss to avoid repeating the same mistake.
He Chuan thought of the scene of saving people that day, and a blush flashed across his stern face. He lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I am not a commoner. I just happened to pass by and saved you that day."
"I advise you to stay away from me for the time being, and at least don't get involved with me." He Chuan suddenly leaned over, approaching Su Tao, staring at her coldly, not hiding the coldness in his eyes. This indifferent and ruthless look made Su Tao shudder.
Su Tao began to doubt whether it was the right decision to approach him, and he began to have some hesitations.
He Chuan pulled the trouser leg from Su Tao's hand and turned away. Su Tao didn't care about the throbbing in her heart. She hurriedly chased after him, following him closely, and kept shouting after him.
"Hey~, slow down, wait for me, I can't keep up!"
The crisp and soft sound was as beautiful as the trickle of running water, slowly flowing into his heart. He Chuan's body stiffened, and his steps did not stop at all, but his pace slowed down significantly, so that the reluctant woman behind him could keep up and not fall behind.
