“What’s got you so anxious?” Sun Yunyun had finally found a chance to talk to Xu Xiaoxiao. She was thinking of how to get closer to Xu Xiaoxiao so that he would see her in a different light! How could he bear to leave if he developed feelings for her?

“Then I’ll leave first.” She was not as thick-skinned as Sun Yunyun. If word got out, she would become the laughingstock of the village. It was a mortifying thought.

“Wait a minute.” Sun Yunyun pulled Sun Xiaocao by the arm to stop her, unhappy with the other’s lack of regard. “You should wait for me. I’m not returning yet, so why are you so eager to do so?” Sun Yunyun was not about to let Sun Xiaocao wander off, leaving her alone; it would be too conspicuous. She would not be so suspicious if she had someone tag along.

If the villagers gossiped, she would say she was accompanying Sun Xiaocao. She would soon enter university, while Xiaocao had not even completed primary school. No one would believe Xiaocao over her.

“But I’m…” Sun Xiaocao was trying to be thoughtful. Though she wanted to leave, Sun Xiaocao did not want to anger Sun Yunyun, so she relented and stayed put.

“I’m glad you’ve seen sense!” Sun Yunyun smiled comfortingly. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. I know him. I even rode in his car the last time he came!” Xu Xiaoxiao had a car and quality clothes of the latest fashion. It was obvious he came from the big city.

Sun Yunyun’s current target was still Zhou Hengyang, but Xu Xiaoxiao was not

a bad second. He had a strong presence, not unlike Zhou Hengyang. While she had not dreamt about him before, that did not mean he was not a viable alternative. Her dreams were never wrong; her dreams could not be compared to ordinary people’s. It was for this reason she had always relied on them.

With her dreams of Zhou Hengyang as a comparison, how could she not see Xu Xiaoxiao’s worth? Moreover, Xu Xiaoxiao was Zhou Hengyang’s friend. For him to be able to return with Hengyang twice meant that they were close.

As long as she became friends with Xu Xiaoxiao, an opportunity to get closer to Hengyang would reveal itself sooner or la ter. Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Chun were the keys to her success. Once she had them on her side, Su Wen would not dare cause her trouble or commit acts of evil against her in the future.

Sun Yuyun threw her head back in laughter, cackling at the thought of Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Chun becoming her adoring minions. Seeing no one else was by the riverbank, she abandoned Sun Xiaocao and went up to Xu Xiaoxiao, who was drying himself with his shirt.

Just as she was about to try her luck with Xu Xiaoxiao, intending to call him ‘Big Brother Xu,’ someone beat her to the punch.

Holding a towel, she had bought from Sister Chrysanthemum’s shop, Wu Lili approached Xu Xiaoxiao and said, “I have a clean towel you can use to dry yourself. I’ll lend it to you if you’d like.”

Wu Lili gazed upon Xu Xiaoxiao with limpid eyes, misting with unshed tears. She looked at Xu Xiaoxiao as a starving wolf would a plate of red braised meat. She had considered sleeping with Su Pingfan to exact her revenge. Now that a man many times Su Pingfan’s superior had appeared in Trinity Village, how could she pass up on the opportunity to ensnare him with her womanly wiles?

Because of her previous conflict with Su Pingfan, she knew that Su Pingfan did not care about her. He was not her ticket back to the city. That realization had almost crushed her.

Staring at the incredibly handsome man before her, hope rekindled in Wu Lili’s heart.

Everyone else might be country bumpkins and could not grasp Xu Xiaoxiao’s identity, but she was different. Wu Lili had once lived in the provincial capital, so she was better informed than most. She knew what it meant to own a car like the one Xu Xiaoxiao drove or the significance of the uniform he wore the previous time he visited the village.

Not only was he someone influential, but he had to have a family background to match.

Wu Lili would latch onto him tightly and not let go..
