The Hua’an Agricultural Reclamation Group only has a little over two thousand people, so it should be easy to find someone, unless the person she’s looking for isn’t here at all, Yunyi thought. "Who are you looking for? I can help you ask around in a bit." Zhong Liyuan’s eyes lit up. "I’d really appreciate that. I’m looking for Zheng Xuewen." As soon as the name was mentioned, Yunyi and Huo Jingrui exchanged a glance. It couldn’t be the one they knew, could it? Yunyi turned to Zhong Liyuan, doubtful. "What’s your relationship with him?" She certainly didn’t want to inadvertently cause harm while trying to help. Zhong Liyuan’s face flushed all at once, and with a light cough, she said, "We’re classmates. Since the places we were sent to in the countryside aren’t far apart, I thought I’d come over to see him." Hearing her words, combined with her expression, what else could be unclear? She must be another lovesick individual, Yunyi mused. While Yunyi was pondering whether to tell her Zheng Xuewen’s current location, she saw Zhong Liyuan suddenly staring at a spot, eyes shining, then excitedly dash over. "Xuewen, Zheng Xuewen!" Zheng Xuewen, hearing someone calling his name, looked up to see Zhong Liyuan. He thought he was seeing things and even blinked a few times. Once the person ran up to him, he asked, "Zhong Liyuan, it really is you! Have you also come down to the countryside?" Zhong Liyuan was full of excitement. "Mhm, mhm, mhm, I’ve also come down." Disappointed they weren’t assigned to the same place, she said with regret, "It’s just a pity that our batch for the Agricultural Reclamation Group didn’t have any spots here, so I asked a friend of my dad’s to help me get assigned to the nearby Songling brigade." Zheng Xuewen’s face was full of worry. "Didn’t your family find you a job before? Why did you still come down to the countryside?" Zhong Liyuan’s face turned ugly upon hearing this. "You don’t want me to come?" Zheng Xuewen quickly waved his hands. "Don’t get me wrong. I’m just afraid you won’t be able to endure the hardships of the countryside. Not to mention, the educated youths in the brigade don’t get salaries." Zhong Liyuan’s face immediately brightened with a smile upon hearing his concern. "It would be great if I were also assigned to the Agricultural Reclamation Group here. If you don’t have a vehicle, it’s quite difficult to make the trip." Zheng Xuewen sighed. "It’s not safe for a girl to travel so far alone. I’ll come to see you in the future." Seeing it was getting late, he asked, "Are you cold? I’ll take you for a meal." After saying that, he spotted Huo Jingrui and Yunyi not far away. "Big Brother Huo, Chu Zhiqing, it’s almost noon. Let’s have a meal together." Huo Jingrui waved his hand. "No thanks, Yunyi and I are going to cook at her place. We won’t disturb you." After speaking, he nodded at them and pulled Yunyi away with him. Zhong Liyuan looked puzzled. "You know them?" Zheng Xuewen watched the two of them walk away. "Big Brother Huo and I are from the same residential compound. Chu Zhiqing is his girlfriend. She’s a doctor who just transferred to our clinic." Zhong Liyuan was envious. "I heard from people at the Zhiqing Point in the Songling brigade that she was going to be transferred to Hua’an Farm Reclamation. She’s really lucky." Zheng Xuewen chuckled. "Her luck is indeed quite good. It just so happened that Dr. Ji from the clinic transferred out, leaving an opening." Hearing this, Zhong Liyuan said, "Xuewen, keep an eye out for me. If there’s a chance, I’d like to transfer over too." That’s probably not going to be easy, Zheng Xuewen thought. However, he didn’t voice this. "Alright, if there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely try to help you." Zhong Liyuan said coquettishly, "Okay then, I’m hungry now. Take me for a meal." Yunyi, who had walked some distance away, heard their conversation clearly. This proud Zhong Liyuan actually has a cute side too, she thought. She then heard Zheng Xuewen, who was now farther away, ask, "By the way, you still haven’t answered me: why did you come down to the countryside?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelꜰire.net
