Chapter 209 Peach Cake
Tang Mingli not only ran away by himself, but also dragged Jiang Xiurong along with him.
He went to find Jiang Xiurong as soon as he entered the house and whispered in her ear: "Xiurong, the new female educated youth, the one with two braids."
Jiang Xiurong asked: "Are you talking about He Yu?"
Tang Mingli didn't know her name, but fortunately the new educated youth had short hair, one with short hair and the other with long braids, so it was easy to tell them apart based on their hairstyles: "I think her name is this. You should avoid interacting with her in the future."
Jiang Xiurong was puzzled: "Why?"
Tang Mingli didn't care about the bad words he said behind her back: "I don't think that educated youth is a good person. You have a simple personality, don't be fooled by her."
Jiang Xiurong was satisfied with having Han Youran and Xia Zhizhi, and had no interest in other educated youth. When Tang Mingli said so, he naturally nodded in agreement.
Since Yang Yingxu said they were still short of a small stove, Xia Zhizhi got it for him the next day.
Today he was cracking walnuts in the yard, planning to make some walnut cakes, which he would bake on the stove and give to Xia Zhizhi to taste.
Just when I had knocked enough times, I saw a tall gay man coming outside.
His face was just okay, but he was wearing something sloppy and dirty. For a gay man, he didn't care about his image at all and ran out in such a sloppy manner, which was really embarrassing for men. Yang Yingxu didn't have a good first impression of him.
The man standing at the gate said to Yang Yingxu, "Comrade, please call Xia Zhiqing for me."
Yang Yingxu frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
Qiao Nan said: "My name is Qiao Nan. I haven't seen you before. Are you a new educated youth?"
"Got it. Just wait." Yang Yingxu stood up and went in to pass on the message.
Everyone was curious about where Qiao Nan had been during this time.
He went to recuperate.
He is affecting the great cause of the Japanese, how can they tolerate him? Even though they always respond to Xia Zhizhi's requests and obey her, they are not pushovers.
Someone immediately put a sack on him and broke his legs.
This broken bone took a hundred days to heal and it has just recovered.
Xia Zhizhi had no intentions towards Qiao Nan. Since she had no intention of falling in love with him, there was no need to flirt with him. She took out a necklace from the basket and handed it to Yang Yingxu: "Give it back to him and let him go."
Yang Yingxu received the order, ran out with the necklace, and handed it to Qiao Nan with a sullen face: "Xia Zhiqing is not happy to see you. Here, take it, and don't come to see our Xia Zhiqing again in the future."
"Oh, no, why don't you see me?" Qiao Nan was not so easy to deal with: "I'll ask her!"
Yang Yingxu stretched out his hand to stop him: "I told you that we, Xia Zhiqing, don't want to see you, why don't you understand what we are saying!"
Qiao Nan pushed Yang Yingxu, who was blocking the way, aside and said, "Get out of the way. I'll go ask myself."
Yang Yingxu was weak and frail, and staggered when he was pushed by him. He watched him push the door and enter the room, and he almost bit his handkerchief with hatred.
Bah! You country bumpkin! How could a man be so rude? How could he win the favor of the nobles? He, Yang Yingxu, should write his name backwards!
When Xia Zhizhi saw him, she became confused. Not only did she become confused, she also felt upset.
She is pretty, and it is normal for gay men to be attracted to her. Everyone can understand a young man's admiration for her, but she never responds. If someone just keeps his love for her in his heart, she will generally respect the other person and pretend not to know.
But if you dare to try, she won't give you any hope at all and will just kill you.
Likewise, she didn't like them dancing so close to her again and again without knowing her.
She is such an excellent girl. How can anyone dare to pursue her without considering his own conditions? Is she so cheap and versatile?
Why do they think they are worthy of her?
Do you think she is that kind of foolish girl who would be dazzled by a few worthless nice words and indulge in worthless tenderness and pampering?
When Qiao Nan entered the room, Xia Zhizhi was leaning against the wall with her legs crossed, just like the eldest master.
Qiao Nan asked: "Why don't you see me?"
Xia Zhizhi asked back: "Why should I see you?"
Qiao Nan paused for a moment and said, "Well, you are angry that I didn't come to see you during this period of time."
Xia Zhizhi sneered: "Where do you get such confidence from?"
Xia Zhizhi was too lazy to waste time talking to him, so she sat up straight and said seriously, "I'm very good, but you don't deserve me in every aspect. I didn't want to say this directly to your face. After all, I'm so good, it's normal for you to like me, but my patience is limited. I'm not interested in you, and I won't change my mind just because of your words or gifts."
A look of hurt flashed across Qiao Nan's eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and stared into Xia Zhizhi's eyes, as if trying to find evidence from her face that she was speaking out of anger.
Xia Zhizhi said this from the heart, with a calm expression on her face.
Qiao Nan clenched his fists and wanted to slam the door and leave, but the door was already open. In the end, he held back and turned around and said, "I'm different from Sagawa. I'm in the military and I have a proper job. I..."
Xia Zhizhi interrupted him: "If you were like him, would you still be able to stand here?"
If he had malicious intentions, Xia Zhizhi would not have argued with him for so long and would have arranged a bamboo basket meal for him long ago.
"You know everything?" Qiao Nan took a deep breath and handed her the necklace in his hand: "I really like you. I bought this myself. Whether you accept it or not, there is no reason for me to take it back since I gave it to you."
You have to know that their unit has limited funds and cannot compete with the Japanese in terms of financial resources. He originally planned to pursue it at his own expense.
Xia Zhizhi didn't accept it, and she even said to him: "If you like me, you shouldn't cause me trouble. Take your things away and don't come again. Let's just say goodbye."
Don't believe such nonsense as if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends.
What? This is the only friend I’m missing?
Do you really want to avoid losing this friend, or do you enjoy the feeling of being loved?
You use friendship as an excuse to keep people hanging, you can also use them irresponsibly and enjoy their care. Who wouldn't understand this?
Qiao Nan walked out in a daze.
Yang Yingxu was so happy to see him like this, and he mocked him from behind: "Don't you even look at your own conditions? You still dare to covet our educated youth Xia? If you don't have a mirror at home, you can just look in a puddle. How can a pheasant be matched with a phoenix?"
After saying this, Yang Yingxu spat at him, then immediately realized that what he was doing was inappropriate. Stop, stop. How could he do such a rude thing like those old uncles?
Fortunately, there was no one else in the yard.
Yang Yingxu hurriedly brought in the walnuts, crushed them into small pieces, and started making walnut crisps.
When adding sugar, he thought that based on his observations during this period, Xia Zhizhi didn't seem to prefer particularly sweet things. This was normal as women and men had different tastes.
But he was still not sure what Xia Zhizhi would like, so he made two flavors: normal sugar and half sugar.
