But it was such a man, cold and elegant, who remained extremely graceful even when bending over to plant rice seedlings.
The top few buttons of Bao Nan’s shirt were slightly open, and with a slight pressure, his delicate collarbones were revealed in front of Jiang Tong.
Further down, there were firm abdominal muscles...
They say that a man is most handsome when he’s serious, and today, Jiang Tong finally understood the true meaning of this phrase.
Her eyes were fixed on Bao Nan’s every move, with a hint of fascination in her peach blossom eyes.
After watching for a while, Jiang Tong secretly took out her phone from her pocket.
She quickly pressed the shutter button, capturing several shots of Bao Nan planting rice seedlings.
A man with such a down-to-earth charm is truly handsome.
Jiang Tong mused, finding a stone nearby, she continued to watch Bao Nan plant the seedlings.
"..."
Time passed by the minute, and in a daze, three hours had gone by.
With everyone’s efforts, a field of rice seedlings finally fully emerged.
When Bao Nan appeared in Jiang Tong’s sight again, his clothes were no longer as tidy as they were at the beginning.
The cuffs were covered with mud, especially his legs, which hadn’t been cleaned after coming out of the muddy field.
Jiang Tong couldn’t help but chuckle a few times; it was her first time seeing Bao Nan like this.
Hearing her laughter, Bao Nan sighed helplessly.
"I heard from the villagers that there’s a stream not far from here, would you like to go there together?"
He invited her so heartily that Jiang Tong naturally wouldn’t refuse.
After all, she was so interested in his affairs now.
"Sure." She smiled.
With her consent, Bao Nan walked with her to the stream at the edge of the village.
This stream was not like the decorative rivers in Beijing.
It was particularly cool, showcasing all the charms of nature.
Jiang Tong sat on a stone, splashing water with her feet, and unexpectedly asked Bao Nan a few questions.
"Has being a diplomat always been your dream?"
After all, she herself had grown up in a wealthy family.
People with Bao Nan’s demeanor usually came from wealthy or noble backgrounds.
Typically, these people would directly inherit the family business when they grew up.
Yet Bao Nan chose to become a diplomat, a career much more demanding than the prosecutor’s office.
"A dream?"
Bao Nan was just about to submerge himself in the stream to wash off the mud when he paused at Jiang Tong’s question.
After pondering for a long time, he silently uttered a sentence.
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
"Huh!?" Hearing him say this, Jiang Tong’s eyes widened with delight, "Do you also like Wilde?"
What a coincidence.
She had especially liked this quote from Wilde since she was a child.
So every time she wrote an essay, she would try her best to incorporate it.
She didn’t expect Bao Nan to like this quote too.
Bao Nan smiled and had no intention of deceiving her.
"Actually, I also graduated from Hengchuan Middle School."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Jiang Tong was even more surprised.
She looked him up and down, "Are you from Hengchuan? Why don’t I have any impression of you?"
It shouldn’t be; someone with an appearance like Bao Nan’s should have been very popular at Hengchuan.
But why hadn’t she heard his name...
Actually, Jiang Tong didn’t know that.
At that time, Xia Qiao would mention Bao Nan’s name in front of her every day.
Saying how handsome he was and urging her to go see him together.
But back then, she was busy with the founding proposal of the Hao Lan Debate Club.
She didn’t pay much attention, and after the debate club was founded, she got busy with recruiting and such.
She completely forgot about this matter.
