"Thank you for helping me."
Next to a field of corn, Zhang Xiaoshan let go of Xu Jing’s hand, and earnestly expressed his gratitude.
Xu Jing’s face reddened, and she shyly said,
"What’s there to thank, it’s, it’s what I should do..."
"I’m asking you, was it really you who spirited away Zhang Ercai’s woman?"
Xu Jing lifted her head, staring at Zhang Xiaoshan as she asked.
Zhang Xiaoshan bit his lip, hesitating without a word.
Xu Jing immediately said with some discontent.
"What, you’re even going to keep secrets from me? Just now I threw away all shame, rushing out to protect you, and you still don’t trust me?"
Zhang Xiaoshan thought for a moment, nodded his head, as if to acknowledge.
Xu Jing’s gaze toward Zhang Xiaoshan became even more excited and fervent.
"I always knew you were a good person, that you wouldn’t neglect those women. Where did you hide Zhang Ercai’s woman?"
"Last night, I accidentally bumped into that woman trying to swim across the river. She was quite a good swimmer, I lent a hand, and she crossed the river, left, and by now she should have reached the city and taken a bus back to her hometown."
"That’s great, I knew I hadn’t misjudged you"
Xu Jing excitedly hugged Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm.
Zhang Xiaoshan caught Xu Jing’s scent, swallowed hard, and his gaze toward Xu Jing grew a little more fervent.
"I, I got carried away."
Xu Jing immediately let go of Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm in a fluster, stepping back.
The two were silent; the atmosphere turned a bit awkward for a moment.
"Well, I’ll go back to the infirmary first."
Zhang Xiaoshan, feeling somewhat guilty, wanted to leave.
"Don’t go, I still have something to ask you."
Xu Jing pulled at Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm.
"Then ask," Zhang Xiaoshan felt a bad premonition.
And sure enough, Xu Jing said with a blushing face.
"That night, we’ve already been in that state, and just now I’ve announced our relationship in front of the whole village, young and old. When, when are you going to come home with me to meet my parents?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned.
"Meet your parents, I, I, we..."
"What would I meet your parents for?"
Xu Jing immediately grew agitated upon hearing these words.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, are you playing dumb with clarity in your pocket? You’ve touched my body, and today you’ve sullied my reputation. Aren’t you supposed to come home with me to meet my parents? Even if we’re not getting married, we should at least clarify our relationship, right?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was suddenly in a panic.
"Mr. Xu, I, for what happened that night, I am very sorry, but, but it was you who took the initiative, and moreover, we didn’t go all the way. Just now, I, I didn’t expect you’d suddenly stand up for me, I, I..."
Hearing these words, Xu Jing fell into silence, her beautiful large eyes turning red as she stared fixedly at Zhang Xiaoshan, pouting and biting her lip, her face a portrait of grief and injustice.
Tears began to gather in her eyes.
Soon, the tears started to fall.
Following that, she suddenly turned around and walked toward the direction of the primary school.
"Hey, don’t be , let’s talk it out nicely," Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Zhang Xiaoshan said hastily as he tried to hold onto Xu Jing.
Xu Jing turned around and fiercely shoved Zhang Xiaoshan away, lamenting in a highly agitated state,
"In your eyes, am I just a self-inflicted, cheap woman? You just want to play with me, never thought about being serious with me, you’re just flirting with me for fun, I’m the one taking it seriously, right?"
"No, that’s not what I mean."
A woman’s tears are a lethal weapon.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Xu Jing’s tear-filled eyes, instantly feeling helpless, wanting to comfort her.
But Xu Jing immediately screamed hysterically again.
"Not that? Then what do you mean? I know, you’re wealthy now, and you look down on me, right? Of course, how could I possibly be a match for you?"
"It’s me with love brain, it’s me who’s deluding myself."
"I’m the fool, I’m degrading myself, are you happy now?"
"No, Mr. Xu, I really didn’t mean that, I..."
"Stop talking, I, I never want to see you again."
Xu Jing covered her face and cried as she ran off.
Zhang Xiaoshan thought of chasing after her, but after taking a step, he stopped.
With Xu Jing so angry right now, anything he’d say would be superfluous, unless he agreed to be her boyfriend and went to meet her parents, or even discussed marriage.
But that was impossible.
"Sigh, Zhang Xiaoshan, oh Zhang Xiaoshan, you knew she was an innocent woman, why did you provoke her?"
He realized he had hurt Xu Jing deeply this time,
and for a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
Just as Zhang Xiaoshan was about to go home, he heard someone calling him.
Turning around, he saw the village chief’s wife, Jia Lanhua, approaching him.
"Hehe, did you and Mr. Xu have a fight?"
Jia Lanhua had come to seek retribution, but seeing Xu Jing running off crying, her mood suddenly improved a lot.
