Lin Jianxue's words made the people around who were waiting to see a bigger excitement look a little embarrassed.
There were even a few female educated youth who were more quick-witted, and when they looked at Lin Jianxue, there was a hint of indescribable envy in their eyes.
In this era, people talk about emancipating the mind and free love, but when it comes to practice, people are still very secretive about things between men and women, and are afraid of being criticized if they get a little closer.
Like Lin Jianxue, when someone threw dirty water at her in public, she could not only fight back calmly, but also talk about words like "pursuit" and "love" so frankly. This kind of courage and unrestrainedness is something they dare not even think about.
Lin Jianxue was not interested in delving into those complicated emotions.
She had already achieved her goal, so there was no need to waste time talking to these insignificant people.
She averted her gaze, her expression returning to her usual calm state. She reached out and gently pulled Zhou Mei, who was still a little dazed beside her.
"Hurry up, Zhou Mei, go get some food."
"Oh... okay." Zhou Mei finally came to her senses and hurriedly followed Lin Jianxue to the educated youth canteen.
Today's breakfast was still pitifully simple. There were two whole-grain steamed buns per person, steamed in a big pot in the cafeteria, accompanied by a bowl of corn porridge that was barely big enough to reflect a person's reflection, and a small dish of black pickled vegetable dumplings.
Lin Jianxue and Zhou Mei found an empty table in the corner and sat down.
Zhou Mei looked at the hard, throat-piercing steamed bread in her hand, then secretly raised her eyes to look at Lin Jianxue's overly fair and beautiful face across from her, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of curiosity:
"Xiaoxue..."
Lin Jianxue raised her eyes, looked at her with clear eyes, and said "Hmm?" softly, motioning her to continue.
.
"You..." Zhou Mei bit her lip, moved closer, and lowered her voice. "You just said that you were pursuing that... old student. Is that true?"
In her opinion, Lin Jianxue's words just now were probably meant to shut Liu Liwen up, and she deliberately said those harsh words.
After all, Fu Zhawei... She had vaguely heard that his family background was not good and he was sent down to the countryside. The gap between him and Lin Jianxue, a girl from the city who obviously came from a wealthy family, was too big.
Lin Jianxue paused slightly while holding the steamed bread.
She lowered her head and slowly took a small mouthful of corn paste before looking up at Zhou Mei.
"yes."
"Ah?!" Zhou Mei almost dropped the steamed bread in her hand onto the table. Her eyes widened instantly, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
Lin Jianxue looked at her frightened expression, and finally a genuine smile appeared in her eyes.
"I'll tell you one more thing in secret," she deliberately dragged out her voice, "You...don't be afraid."
Zhou Mei blinked her eyes, a look of confusion and nervousness on her face. "Huh? What's going on? Are you still scared?" What could be so serious that it would even require the word "scared"? Could it be that the Fu family...had some even more terrifying background?
Lin Jianxue looked at her nervous expression, the corners of her lips curved a little wider, and she said slowly, "Actually... it was for him that I used my connections to transfer to our Shuguang Brigade to work in the countryside."
“!!!”
Zhou Mei's eyes widened so wide that tears almost popped out of their sockets! She subconsciously stretched out her hands and covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming out.
Oh my god! What did she hear?!
For a man?!
Or is he a man who was demoted because of his bad background?!
Lin Jianxue, gave up the good life in the city, used all her connections, and ran to this godforsaken countryside to suffer?!
Looking at Zhou Mei's expression as if she had seen a ghost, Lin Jianxue really couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyebrows curved, and her cold face instantly became much more lively.
Seeing her smile, Zhou Mei felt relieved, thinking she was joking. She patted her chest and said angrily, "Xiaoxue! You're teasing me again! You scared me to death!"
She muttered, "I told you... who would go all the way to this remote and impoverished area of Heilongjiang Province and suffer hardships just for a man? That's just too much to ask for..."
In her opinion, Lin Jianxue was a well-off young lady from a wealthy city family. She was so beautiful, so what kind of man could she not want? How could she make such a sacrifice for a "peasant" who was sent to the countryside, with an uncertain future and looked cold and indifferent? This was completely unreasonable!
"No." Lin Jianxue swallowed the food in her mouth and interrupted Zhou Mei's self-consolation. Her eyes were clear and honest. "It's true."
The smile on Zhou Mei's face froze.
"Really...really?" Her voice trembled.
Lin Jianxue nodded seriously, met Zhou Mei's shocked gaze, and added: "Really, I didn't lie to you. And..."
She tilted her head slightly, as if thinking about something, and said softly, "I'm trying to find a way... to pursue him now."
Zhou Mei was completely speechless.
