Zhang Jikai stayed for a whole afternoon, put down his things, and had no intention of leaving just after sitting there for a while.
Li Jingxuan worked all afternoon, and he was always attentive and silently followed behind her. This gave Li Jingxuan the illusion that Zhang Jikai was plotting against her.
In any case, she and Zhang Jikai were classmates and friends at the same time.
In Shanghai, family members are more important than family members.
He and Su Lin liked each other, and with Zhang Jikai surrounding her like this, she felt inexplicably betraying Su Lin.
Moreover, I feel a little dissatisfied with Zhang Jikai in my heart.
She really couldn't understand the situation in front of her.
In rural areas, having a young man in the home of an unmarried girl is likely to cause controversy in the village. What's more, as a college student, having a man of similar age in the home is even more likely to attract attention.
More importantly, the Zhang Jikai in front of him is also a college student.
If the two of them get together, I'm afraid they will become the object of discussion behind their backs.
She has been influenced by the ideas of the new era. She is not afraid of others talking about gossip, but she is afraid that her parents will not be able to bear it.
After all, they have always been proud of themselves.
When Wang Ying came back, she saw Zhang Jikai helping Su Linshou collect firewood. She was startled at first.
Li Jingxuan told her on the phone before that she had a high school male classmate in the same class as her in Shanghai, and he was from the next village.
Wang Ying saw that Zhang Jikai had a healthy complexion and was tall and strong. He seemed to be standing next to his own daughter.
Who would believe that these two people have nothing to do with each other?
For no reason, if a young boy is not afraid of people gossiping, why would he come to his house?
If in normal times, Wang Ying would have been anxious if a male classmate named Jing Xuan came to the house. Now looking at Zhang Jikai, she inexplicably liked him more and more.
This young man was an intellectual. Wang Ying thought that if Jingxuan married him, it would be a great deed done by the ancestors of the Li family. Both his daughter and son-in-law were college students.
If this spreads out, how many people will envy their daughter?
Wang Ying thought about it, the corner of his mouth raised.
"You must be Zhang Jikai!"
As soon as Wang Ying entered the door, she took the initiative to say hello and was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"Auntie, you have such good eyesight. You can recognize who I am at a glance."
Zhang Jikai hurriedly greeted Wang Ying with a friendly smile and helped Wang Ying take off the backpack from his back, as if he was already a familiar guest in the family.
"Jingxuan often mentions you on the phone.
Shanghai is a big place. Thanks to you for taking care of us, Jingxuan, we parents can feel at ease in this valley.
Don't be in a hurry to leave tonight, stay for a light meal and try auntie's cooking."
Wang Ying's enthusiastic tone made Zhang Jikai feel more relaxed.
On the way here, he was worried that his presence would cause inconvenience to Li Jingxuan.
Unexpectedly, his mother seemed to have a pretty good opinion of her first time.
"Okay, auntie, let me help you. I often help my mother at home."
Li Jingxuan looked surprised, what happened to Zhang Jikai?
I may have been too enthusiastic today.
Also, her mother was very unusual today.
Why did your mind become so open-minded all of a sudden?
When a boy comes to the house, she can still be so enthusiastic to invite him to have dinner at home.
Li Jingxuan secretly tugged on Zhang Jikai's clothes on his back and coughed twice.
He glanced at Zhang Jikai with sharp eyes, as if asking: Why are you so excited?
"Well, Auntie can be busy here alone, so don't work too hard. It's too hot at home. You can go for a walk by the river.
The scenery along the river is nice and cool.
Just come back later and eat directly."
After Wang Ying finished speaking, she hurriedly washed her hands and prepared to make dinner.
There were guests at home tonight, and Jingxuan had to go to the school yard for class at seven o'clock in the evening, so she had to act early.
Li Jingxuan felt strange in her heart. When she thought of Su Lin, she felt that she was committing a crime by going with Zhang Jikai.
After thinking about it, I decided to speak clearly to Zhang Jikai.
The two came to the river, and it was indeed much cooler by the river.
The blue sky and white clouds, the clear lake water are sparkling, the willow branches on the shore are dancing in the wind, and a few children are diving into the water not far away.
When Li Jingxuan thought about what she was going to say next, an unspoken feeling flashed through her heart, which made her a little unclear.
Li Jingxuan hesitated to speak for a long time, but still didn't know how to speak. He took a deep breath nervously, planning to insinuate Zhang Jikai.
"Well, I'll go with Su Lin and Anna tomorrow."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhang Jiakai's eyes. How could he forget that she was often surrounded by two eldest ladies from rich families?
"oh."
The person who was cheerful a few minutes ago suddenly seemed like a different person when he heard about Su Lin and Anna.
Li Jingxuan thought she had heard wrongly, and turned her head to look at Zhang Jikai's cold profile in disbelief.
Tsk tsk, luckily she was still worried and worried that this person was interested in her, but when she heard that Su Lin and Anna were together, she could be so indifferent.
It seems that I am overthinking it.
One second, Li Jingxuan was still congratulating herself for thinking too much, but the next second, she felt a little depressed at the moment, and her heart was beating with a dull feeling.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her. Of course, if you come with us tomorrow, you can take care of her."
Li Jingxuan pretended to be relaxed and patted his chest as a guarantee, but Zhang Jikai turned back coldly.
"Who she is with has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Jiakai's words made Li Jingxuan stunned for once.
Why did she feel that these two people were in a fog.
After all, the veil between the two of them has not been broken.
Looking at Zhang Jikai's cold face, Li Jingxuan suddenly felt worried about him again.
She thought that if one day she found out that a boy liked her, then she would encourage the boy to tell him boldly.
But the boy next to him could be enthusiastic at times and cold at other times, which was really hard to figure out.
"Since you two like each other, why didn't you say it?
What's the use of sulking like this?
Look at you, you were as smiling as a flower in our house a few minutes ago. Now you are facing me alone, and you are so cold, which is really annoying."
Li Jingxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, his gaze falling on the lake and mountains swaying in the wind.
"Do you really not know who I like?"
Zhang Jikai tilted his head and stared straight into Li Jingxuan's eyes with a pair of clear black and white eyes, which made Li Jingxuan feel guilty.
Isn’t this nonsense?
If she knew who he liked, would she still be so nervous and worried that he would have feelings for her?
Su Lin is her good friend. When she was in Shanghai, she asked for help and offered help in times of need. She was a warm and kind-hearted good girl.
As her friend, she certainly hopes that the two of them can understand each other's thoughts.
Of course, she would be happier if the two of them were together.
