What’s the matter? Can’t a love rival become your wife?

Chapter 59

"Sit down. It's nice here. You can enjoy the view and you don't have to be blown by the wind."

Second floor.

Jiang Ning found a good place for Bai Zhenyu, and they sat down together.

At this angle, you can see the direction of the fish pond and how Lu Xu is shivering in the cold wind.

Bai Zhenyu doesn't believe that this position was not chosen on purpose.

However, this time, Bai Zhenyu did not avoid it, but sat down in silence.

The stove was warm and the charcoal fire was burning.

At this time, it was very suitable for roasting sweet potatoes.

"Let me do it, Miss Jiang, you take a rest." Seeing that Jiang Ning was going to wash the sweet potatoes, Bai Zhenyu quickly stopped her and specially instructed: "You'd better not touch cold water these days..."

Jiang Ning said "Oh".

She seemed to understand.

But she didn't ask much. After all, she had been a girl for far less than Bai Zhenyu, and she certainly didn't have the experience of Bai Zhenyu.

Jiang Ning sat down again, holding her chin and looking at the scenery in the distance.

Bai Zhenyu carefully washed the sweet potatoes of uniform size, wrapped them in tin foil, and then put them into the charcoal fire.

When she was in her hometown, she was most afraid of autumn.

Her parents died early, and the little land at home was occupied by neighbors. In theory, she had no farm work to do, but this was not the case.

After her parents died, her uncle became her guardian.

During the days of living under someone else's roof, Bai Zhenyu had to help her uncle's family harvest corn and dig sweet potatoes. She also had to seize the good weather and stare at the corn drying outside from morning to night, drying it and peeling the corn kernels.

Her uncle's family planted a lot of corn.

Drying corn and peeling corn kernels was once Bai Zhenyu's childhood nightmare.

To this day, she can still clearly recall the hardness of the corn cobs and the feeling of her hands being numb, swollen, and painful from exhaustion, and having large blisters.

"Bai Zhenyu, what are you daydreaming about?"

Jiang Ning stretched out his finger and waved it in front of her eyes.

Bai Zhenyu came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly: "I thought of some things in my hometown."

Jiang Ning said "Oh".

She didn't ask any more questions. After all, she knew that Bai Zhenyu's parents died early, which led to Bai Zhenyu's childhood living under the care of others and was quite miserable.

It's not very moral to expose someone's scars.

"Come, drink some hot tea."

Jiang Ning poured her a cup of steaming hot tea.

"This plate is dried fruit, that plate is candied fruit, and the one in front of you is dried vegetables, all made by Aunt Gu herself, you can try it."

When talking about a heavier topic, Jiang Ning would change the subject as if nothing had happened.

Bai Zhenyu was ready to tell her a story, but now he could only take back his story silently.

In the past, Lu Xu always liked to listen to her talk about her sufferings, and every time he would pat her on the shoulder and comfort her, "I'll take care of everything."

But what's the difference between having him and not having him?

When she was working in the fields under the scorching sun, what was Lu Xu doing?

He seemed...

He seemed to be reading all the time.

Famous books from ancient and modern times, fashionable magazines, newspapers, palm-sized comic books, novels as thick as bricks... all kinds of things, everything.

He seemed to never have time to do anything.

He was always reading.

In fact, in order to give him more time to study, Bai Zhenyu would take the initiative to help him share his farm work.

She was so tired that her back and waist ached, but what did she get in return?

It seemed that she only got a sentence from him, "Everything will be fine in the future", or "I'll take care of everything".

Thinking of this, Bai Zhenyu couldn't help but clench his fists, and infinite sorrow surged in his heart.

What she wanted was not the invisible "future", but to have enough food, a good night's sleep, and someone to share the burden of life with her!

What kind of life has she lived these years?

Bai Zhenyu was afraid that she would cry again, so she quickly grabbed a candied fruit, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it hard.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Eat slowly, I won't fight with you."

Seeing that her face was red from coughing, Jiang Ning quickly patted her back and refilled her with a cup of tea.

Bai Zhenyu sniffed and said, "The wind is so strong, there is sand in my eyes."

Her eyes were red, like a wronged rabbit.

"Don't rub it! I'll blow it for you."

Seeing that she was about to rub her eyes, Jiang Ning quickly grabbed her hand.

Jiang Ning moved her chair, sat down next to Bai Zhenyu, and put him down, letting Bai Zhenyu rest his head on her legs.

"Don't move."

"No, don't blow, I'm fine now...!"

"What do you mean fine? Your eyes are red and swollen, there's probably a lot of sand in them."Where is the child."

Relying on his strength, Jiang Ning forcibly opened Bai Zhenyu's eyelids and leaned forward with a pout.

"Hoo——"

A breath of cool air blew over.

Since she couldn't close her eyes this time, she was forced to appreciate Jiang Ning's beauty from a close distance and smell the special fragrance on Jiang Ning's body.

Jiang Ning looked at her eyes carefully and tidied up her messy hair: "Are you feeling better? "

Her voice was very domineering.

It was the kind of domineering without any offensive power!

Bai Zhenyu shuddered, as if she was hit by a slight electric current, and her hair went numb to the soles of her feet.

She really couldn't bear this super close contact, and she didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Ning's eyes!

In a hurry, she waved her hands randomly, trying to push Jiang Ning away.

Pah——

By the time Bai Zhenyu reacted, one of her hands had already been firmly pressed on the other's flat chest muscles.

The other hand was pressed ferociously on Jiang Ning's face.

Jiang Ning: "..."

No, sister, what should I ask?

It's always me, Jiang, who has taken advantage. You want to rebel today, right? Yeah!

"Well, sorry! "

Bai Zhenyu was completely ashamed and quickly withdrew her hand.

She leaned back uncontrollably and fell to the ground. Her butt hurt so much that she didn't dare to yell. She quickly stood up and bowed to apologize.

"I...hiss, I didn't mean it. I was just a little...scared? No no no, just a little...a little unexpected..."

"What didn't you expect?"

Jiang Ning was still rubbing her face. She was very depressed at the moment.

How could Bai Zhenyu dare to speak?

She couldn't say, I didn't expect you to be so gentle.

"I didn't expect you, you have good skills..."

Jiang Ning: "Huh? !"

You are going to defy the heavens, little Zhenyu.

What weird things are you saying.

Bai Zhenyu's brain was about to crash, and the whole person was confused:

"No! What I mean is that your skill of blowing your eyes...that is, your skill of healing, is pretty good!"

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow: "Oh? "
