In the past few days, Jiang He has been wandering around the farm with Band-Aids on his nose and mouth corners.
Whenever someone asked him about it, he would say that he was bitten by a cat.
There were indeed some stray cats coming to the village from time to time, and no one doubted it, but they just thought that the cats were really good at picking places to bite.
Someone noticed that Jiang He seemed to have a wound on his shoulder, and a scab could be vaguely seen.
This time, he didn't say that he was bitten by a cat. Instead, he just smiled and said nothing, leaving it to others to guess.
Therefore, within a few days, this rumor spread one after another.
Some said that the wild cats in the village were ambitious and difficult to tame, and they had to be driven away for everyone’s safety.
Naturally, there will be another wave of people who hold opposing views.
Cats are so cute. Did you see Xiao Jiang being bitten by a cat?
Are you sure this isn't the couple's hobby?
There was silence for a while, and everyone, whether they agreed or disagreed, unanimously agreed with the latter's statement.
Don’t talk nonsense about whether it’s a cat or not.
Although they were all just guesses at the beginning, Mu Ruanruan's words made all their guesses come true.
That day, the first thing she did when she came back was to find Li Gui and ask him to speed up the work. All the expenses had increased a lot of money. Aren't those workers working just to make more money?
This money is like the oil of a machine. Once it arrives, the machine will run smoothly.
In one morning, it was very busy and the target was exceeded by 30%.
Li Gui secretly reported this matter to Jiang He.
Jiang He didn't say anything on the spot, and just asked Li Gui to follow Mu Ruanruan's arrangements and tell him if he had any difficulties.
Li Gui was puzzled. If the house was built so quickly, it might be completed in just one month. Then...
"Can we live in it once it's built? What are you worried about?"
Li Gui lowered his head and muttered secretly: "Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll worry?"
In the end, nothing was said. Those who needed to work were still working on it, some even turned on the lights at night.
Mu Ruanruan felt that it was still unsafe at night, so she went over to ask them to go back and rest early. On the way back, she met Jiang He.
Jiang He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, with a cigarette in his mouth. He stood under the street light, his back against the lamppost, as if waiting for someone.
A group of mosquitoes and moths were flying around the bright light.
He patted his neck and arms from time to time, and put the half-fallen Band-Aid back on the corner of his mouth.
When he saw Mu Ruanruan, he put out his cigarette, stood still, and walked a few steps towards her.
Mu Ruanruan turned around and left. Jiang He didn't pretend anymore and quickly chased after her, grabbing her arm and saying, "Why are you running away when you see me? I don't eat people."
After saying that, he seemed to feel that something was wrong and laughed silently with his head down.
"What are you doing? Are you a hooligan? Let me go!"
Mu Ruanruan couldn't struggle free.
How could she not have known before that Jiang He was like a rebellious child. The more you try to stay away from him, the closer he will be to you.
After struggling for a few times, half of her body was now in his arms.
A faint smell of tobacco entered her nostrils, mixed with a hint of woody perfume.
"Did you wear perfume?" The words just popped out without thinking.
"Um?"
Jiang He was a little slow to react, but after tasting the flavor, he began to act recklessly.
Mu Ruanruan pushed him away, "Jiang He, can you respect me a little?"
These words were very serious, so even if Jiang He wanted to act like a rogue again, he didn't dare to do so.
"Ruan Ruan." The voice was a little panicked.
She looked at the Band-Aid he put on her and thought it was funny. She told everyone that she was scratched by a cat and that she was the cat.
Can......
"Your injury is none of my business."
When Mu Ruanruan said this, she pouted angrily, but to Jiang He's ears it sounded like heavenly music. He felt that Mu Ruanruan was acting coquettishly towards him.
So he climbed up the pole again, climbing happily.
The hand reached out dishonestly, circled her slender waist, and her head slowly lowered.
Just when his forehead was about to touch hers, Mu Ruanruan came out of her pink bubble and pushed him away suddenly. When she couldn't push him away, she thought of hitting him with her forehead.
Fortunately, Jiang He reacted quickly and escaped the disaster.
"How can you be so rude, woman?"
He originally thought that Mu Ruanruan would jump up and curse back, but unexpectedly she remained silent.
Mu Ruanruan lowered her head for a long time before she spoke: "Jiang He, it's over between us."
Originally, what she wanted to say was, "Jiang He, I won't be a mistress."
But I also feel that this sounds like leaving people a way out. Since it is over, there should be no more reverie.
Jiang He was just feeling excited, but suddenly he was poured with a bucket of cold water. He was stunned for a while before he stammered, "End? I don't agree!"
Mu Ruanruan found it funny that it was over in just a few years.
He was engaged to Miss Xi and returned to Lancheng. Now he is saying that he doesn't agree. Don't you think it's too late?
She ignored him and turned away.
Can't get away.
"I don't agree!" he repeated.
"Let go! No one forced you at the beginning. It was you who chose her. If you say you don't agree, don't you think it's too late?" Mu Ruanruan looked at the dark mountain. From the perspective of the street light, it became darker and more ghostly.
She turned her head to look at him. Although he was facing away from the light, she could still see his strong and delicate features, and the look in his eyes. When he looked at you, it made you feel that you were all in his heart.
Once, she was deceived by this look.
"Jiang He, please let me go. Since you chose her, you should treat her well."
Jiang He tightened his grip on her arm, causing her some pain, but he still didn't let go.
Just make it clear once and for all and solve it once and for all.
Mu Ruanruan didn't leave either. She turned around and stood face to face with her, waiting for him to speak.
"From the beginning to the end, I only have you. Where did she come from?" Jiang He said, "Is the person you are talking about the Miss Xi family?"
Hearing these words from his mouth, Mu Ruanruan still felt like needles pricking her chest.
She waited for him to continue.
But he didn't say anything, instead he dragged her into the darkness.
"What are you doing, Jiang He, are you crazy?"
Mu Ruanruan struggled, but he ignored her, his attitude firm and his tone tough: "Yes, I am crazy. I didn't expect you to suspect that there is something going on between me and Miss Xi. I will take you to find her now and explain it to her clearly."
So, he wasn't with her?
Then why didn't he come to see her for all these years?
"Let go, it's so late, I don't want to go with you." Mu Ruanruan said.
Jiang He let go and forced her to look at him, "Okay, I won't go. Then tell me, what else do you doubt about me?"
There were no street lights here, only a hazy light coming through. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she couldn't ignore his eyes. Those eyes shone even in the darkness, just looking at her, not allowing her to escape.
Mu Ruanruan was a little confused.
What did she suspect him of?
She didn't doubt him at all, but just thought that since he was engaged to the Xi family, he would marry Miss Xi.
And there are so many things between him and me.
He pinched her chin, lifted her head, and said in a low but firm voice, "Just because you doubted me, you left for four and a half years. Mu Ruanruan, you have such a cruel heart."
