"Yeah, that's right! I want you to help spread a rumor!"
“…”
Chen Jiaxin was a little dumbfounded, and asked again uncertainly: "No! What did you just say? Helping to spread rumors?"
Xu Nanxing smiled and answered affirmatively: "Yes, help spread a rumor!"
I didn’t expect you to be such a Xu Nanxing!
"...Um, did someone offend you? That's why you came up with this rumor. Well, we can't do anything immoral!"
"You don't have to offend me! Maybe I'm just trying to help someone else?"
"You want to help others, so you want to spread rumors about others?" Chen Jiaxin said in disbelief.
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
I just said that spreading rumors is terrible!
Now, let's say I spread rumors to help others...
This doesn't sound reliable at all!
I feel like you are fooling me!
Xu Nanxing said seriously, "Ahem, you're very observant. After all this time, you should have noticed that Zhang Zhiqing likes Gu Zhiqing! They actually grew up together in the same compound, and Zhang Zhiqing has liked Gu Zhiqing since they were little. But after Gu Zhiqing went to the countryside, he fell in love with Su Zhiqing, and Su Zhiqing also had a good impression of Gu Zhiqing! Wouldn't Zhang Zhiqing be very sad when they knew about their mutual affection? If you say that Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing are really together, then wouldn't Zhang Zhiqing give up and let it go?"
Seeing Chen Jiaxin thoughtful, Xu Nanxing continued, "But Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing had feelings for each other, but they never said it out loud, which led to Zhang Zhiqing being unable to let go of Gu Zhiqing. This time, Zhang Zhiqing was unwilling to give up and went to Su Zhiqing to question him. As a result, the two of them had an argument because of Gu Zhiqing, and in the end, they both fell into the river. Zhang Zhiqing also had a high fever that night. Luckily, I was by her side to take care of her all night, otherwise she would still be lying in bed unable to get up."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaxin looked at Zhang Luyao in surprise. Seeing that the other party's face looked really bad, she believed what Xu Nanxing said.
Although she has never experienced love, she understands that love is a matter between two people, and it is indeed not a good thing if a third person is involved.
Especially since Zhang Zhiqing and Gu Zhiqing grew up together in the same compound, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts.
So it is perfectly normal that Zhang Zhiqing can't let go of Gu Zhiqing.
Unfortunately, matters of the heart cannot be controlled by others. After going to the countryside, Gu Zhiqing met Su Zhiqing, and the two fell in love with each other over time.
This would have been a good thing, but it made Zhang Zhiqing miserable. The person he had loved since childhood fell in love with someone else after he went to the countryside.
More than ten years of feelings, but nowhere to go!
Chen Jiaxin didn’t know that there is a saying that childhood sweethearts cannot defeat a lover sent from heaven.
I just feel that Zhang Zhiqing is really pitiful.
It's heartbreaking to see him still sick in this unfamiliar countryside.
Chen Jiaxin: "So you just want to help Zhang Zhiqing? Then how do you plan to help?"
Xu Nanxing took Chen Jiaxin's hand and said gently, "Look, Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing were originally in love, but because they were both too reserved, they hadn't expressed their feelings to each other yet. As a bystander, I think it's such a pity! Jiaxin, don't you think so?"
Chen Jiaxin blinked: "Is it...right?"
"No, you were just talking about Chang Zhiqing, why did you suddenly mention Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing?"
"I want to bring Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing together! You see, if they get together soon, it would be a great joy for our Zhiqing community! Moreover, after Zhang Zhiqing finds out they're dating, he'll let go of Gu Zhiqing and move on with his life! Wouldn't that make everyone happy? So this kills two birds with one stone!"
Chen Jiaxin was somewhat convinced, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she asked, "So what are you going to do?"
"Well, what can I do? I just want to tell everyone that Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing have feelings for each other!"
"Huh? So when you asked me to help spread the rumor just now, you were referring to this?"
"That's right! Gu Zhiqing is too slow, and Su Zhiqing is too reserved. Their progress is really worrying. If we can add fuel to the fire and let Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing express their feelings to each other sooner, wouldn't we have done a good thing? Look at Zhang Zhiqing, he is still trapped in his memories and is very sad. If he knew that Gu Zhiqing had a girlfriend, he would let it go and his illness would be cured!"
"This...is this possible? If Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing find out that I was the one who spread the rumor, then how...how can I face them?" Chen Jiaxin hesitated.
She had a pretty good relationship with Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing, so she couldn't bring herself to talk about their faults behind their backs!
Xu Nanxing comforted him, "You're not lying, so just pretend you said it carelessly. Especially with the incident yesterday where Zhang Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing both fell into the water, there must be a lot of people in the village who want to know the truth! If someone asks you, just tell the truth! As long as you don't exaggerate and tell the truth, there won't be any problem!"
Indeed, after the fall into the water incident yesterday, many people in the village were speculating and there were many versions.
Fortunately, the people who saved people were all educated youth. If any villagers, especially male villagers, had saved Su or Zhang, one cannot even imagine what the consequences would have been!
Later, many aunties who were on good terms with her and gossiped with her came to ask her about the ins and outs of the incident.
She had glossed over it all at the time.
She didn't want to spread the news about the educated youth, especially the emotional entanglement between men and women, otherwise she didn't know what the villagers would say about them.
However, now that Nanxing suggested telling the truth, she was still a little hesitant.
Nanxing moved out of the educated youth center and lived outside. He seemed to stay at home very little, so he was not very clear about the villagers' evaluation of the educated youth.
Chen Jiaxin then warned, "Nanxing! The villagers have a bad impression of us educated youth! If we tell everyone about the whole story of yesterday's fall into the river, I'm afraid the villagers will say something about us educated youth!"
Xu Nanxing was speechless. "Do you think if you don't tell them, the villagers won't spread rumors? Without the 'official version' of our educated youth, won't others just make up stories? Believe it or not, if you go out and ask around right now, there will be at least seven or eight versions of the story about yesterday's drowning incident!"
