This sound...
Cold, heavy, with an indescribable sense of oppression.
And these eyebrows, these outlines...
Liu Liwen's head buzzed, her eyes widened, and the fingers pointing at Fu Zhewei began to tremble.
"Fu, Fu... Fu Zhewei?!"
She finally recognized it!
How is that possible?!
The man in front of me, wearing washed-out, bleached clothes with visible patches on his trouser legs, is Fu Zhewei?!
That famous figure in high school whom she could only watch from afar, not even daring to speak to?!
She remembers it clearly!
Fu Zhawei's father is a famous professor at the university, and his mother is the eldest daughter of a scholarly family. The family is extremely well-off.
As for Fu Zhawei himself, he is tall and handsome, but he has a rebellious personality. He has been hanging out outside since he was a child. It is said that he has a group of younger brothers following him in school. He is a "problem student" that all teachers are worried about, but he is also the object of secret admiration of countless girls.
At that time, a girl like her who came from an ordinary family and had an average appearance was afraid of making him unhappy even if she looked at him a few more times, let alone talking to him.
They were people from completely different worlds. She didn't even have the qualifications to look up to him. She could only secretly envy those girls who could get close to him.
But now...
Liu Liwen's eyes quickly swept over his clothes, which could be said to be shabby.
That’s right! She remembered!
I'd vaguely heard a couple of days ago that something was wrong with the Fu family! It seemed to be a serious political issue. I heard... the whole family was exiled from Kyoto and sent to some remote farm in some corner for "reform through labor"!
Turns out it’s true!
Moreover, he was actually sent down to Hulan County in the northern border?
Liu Liwen's eyes rolled rapidly, and the fear she had felt earlier when she recognized Fu Zhawei was instantly replaced by a malicious feeling mixed with gloating and a sense of superiority.
Haha, a phoenix in distress is no better than a chicken!
She had previously thought that this man's aura was quite scary, but now that she knew his background, that fear instantly disappeared.
What is there to be afraid of a "problematic element" whose entire family has been brought down and whose future is uncertain?
Liu Liwen felt more confident. She glanced at Zhang Ruichen beside her and then deliberately raised her voice:
"Hey, Lin Jianxue, you're really good! I thought you were hooking up with some poor local kid, but after all this fuss, it turns out it's your old classmate who's 'down on his luck'?"
After saying that, she nudged Zhang Ruichen next to her with her elbow, pretending to be surprised:
"Hey, Ruichen, do you see that? This is the famous classmate from high school I mentioned before, Fu Zhewei! The one...whose family was in trouble and whose whole family was sent to a farm for reform!"
"Tell me, this world is so small. How could it be such a coincidence that we could meet here?"
Zhang Ruichen habitually pushed the black-framed glasses on his nose, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.
He had already recognized himself. This taciturn man with a cold aura was the one who always appeared beside Lin Jianxue during the busy farming season these days, helping her pull weeds.
He had originally thought it was just a local young man from some team who had taken a liking to Lin Jianxue. After all, Lin Jianxue was indeed very good-looking, so it was natural that someone would be interested in her. But he hadn't expected that this person was not only Liu Liwen's high school classmate, but also... a "problematic person" whose entire family had been demoted?
Zhang Ruichen's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Fu Zhewei.
The slight fear that had arisen from the other person's tall stature and distinguished temperament was instantly replaced by contempt.
In this era, "political problems" are a major issue. If an entire family were to be sent down to the countryside for reeducation through labor, then the problem must be serious! Getting involved with such people is simply asking for trouble!
Zhang Ruichen cleared his throat, looked at Liu Liwen, and asked meaningfully, "Liwen, since he's your high school classmate, do you know what...what crime did his family commit that earned them the entire family sent here for reform?"
This is exactly what Liu Liwen was waiting for!
