It was the height of summer, and Yu Chunyu wore a white, short-sleeved homespun shirt with a long skirt. The hem of her shirt was tucked into her waist, and her hair was neatly coiled up, revealing a smooth forehead, making her look exceptionally bright.
Even Chiang Xiao was attracted by her from a distance.
However, when Chiang Xiao saw the person by Yu Chunyu’s side, she wanted to avoid them.
She really found it odd, how could these people be walking together?
To Yu Chunyu’s left was a young woman who was somewhat cute, and, surprisingly, next to her was Ji Desheng whom she had not met again since her rebirth!
To her right was Ho Laidi.
This combination of people seemed very peculiar to her.
How did Ho Laidi know Yu Chunyu?
It was still explainable that Ji Desheng was with them, since he studied in town and Yu Chunyu was a substitute teacher at the town’s middle school.
But their being together still felt very strange.
Chiang Xiao was thinking of avoiding them, but Ji Desheng had already spotted her.
"Chiang Xiao?" He nearly lost control and called out her name, drawing the attention of the others toward them.
Chiang Xiao thought Qin Chunyu was very beautiful and eye-catching, but she hadn’t realized she herself was also a shining focus.
During this period, she had been drinking spring water from the Space every day, and in fact, was changing every day, albeit slightly, so the people who saw her daily noticed she was growing better looking, but they weren’t particularly surprised.
But it was different for Ji Desheng and Yu Chunyu.
It had been two or three months since their last encounter.
Although the younger Chiang Xiao was already noticeable among village children of her age, with skin amongst the fairest, back then she had been very frail, her cheeks without a hint of flesh, looking truly pitiable, only inspiring a sense of compassion.
But now, Chiang Xiao seemed to be radiating new life.
Not only had she filled out a bit, but she had also grown taller, and her face was glowing with health, smooth as a peeled hard-boiled egg, even showing its elasticity to the eye.
Her skin was so white it shimmered, her eyes were large and bright, and her lips were particularly red. She wore a white, stand-collar blouse and ordinary dark blue trousers. Her long hair was loosely braided into a unique plait that draped over her shoulder, cascading down her chest, standing there she was lithe and graceful, like a pure lotus in summer.
Just that youthful exuberance and fresh charm alone made Yu Chunyu seem less noteworthy.
After the Nameless Creek incident, Ji Desheng’s mother had ordered him to avoid Chiang Xiao, saying that if she found out he met with Chiang Xiao, she’d break his legs and then go to the Chiang Family to cause trouble, so he dared not disobey.
On the rare occasions he returned to the village, he made sure to avoid the Chiang’s home.
However, Liu Caiyun did not realize that a young boy’s budding feelings only grow faster the more they are suppressed.
Ji Desheng would soon be seventeen, and Chiang Xiao had been the moon in his heart since before. Now, seeing her again, his heart thumped violently.
"Desheng, you know her?" Yu Chunyu was overjoyed.
It was quite remarkable, Peace Town was just so big, yet she had wandered for two months without running into Chiang Xiao once. She had been ready to give up, planning to wait until the next semester started, but she had not expected to encounter her today.
Only, Chiang Xiao seemed to have changed a lot, much more dazzling.
She wondered if her older brother had also become even more handsome?
Thinking of Meng Xinian, Yu Chunyu’s face heated up, and the enthusiasm in her heart flared again.
