Chapter 198: More Angry
Due to the dream, Huai Yu was in a bad mood all day, with resentment everywhere. Zhou Qian had no doubt that if Wu Yue showed up at that moment, she would really send everything that could move in the house charging at him!
Not to mention anything else, broken arms and legs were certainly on the list.
But, thank God, the transportation was inconvenient, and General Wu wouldn’t come to their small town.
At this moment, Zhou Qian, who was scheduled to dig up another acre of land today, sighed, feeling frustrated as he swung his hoe, while watching Huai Yu, who was planting sweet potato vines:
“Since it’s just a dream, why don’t you dream about General Lin directly?”
Why dream about an unlucky person? Now the sun is already high, and he couldn’t even put down his hoe to go back.
Tsk!
Choosing Rose Manor in District 2, he thought he had a neighbor with rich resources. But now it seemed that he had ended up with a strong and diligent laborer.
Zhou Qian sighed and casually knocked his own leg with the hoe:
“Be honest. If you hide the dirt again, I’ll wrap you up in plastic wrap tomorrow.”
Not only did she hide it, but she also made it even more sophisticated.
When he was washing up yesterday, he didn’t rinse off any dirt. As a result, after falling asleep at night, the dry dirt that had been absorbed started falling out from the cracks, and by the time he woke up, the bed was covered in dust.
Zhou Qian felt very down.
Meanwhile, Huai Yu, carrying a basket of sweet potato vines, was also frustrated:
“How would I know? Don’t I want to dream about Lin Xuefeng?”
She could dream about any of the great ones, even Big Boy, Second Boy, or Uncle Jujube, but certainly not that unlucky man!
Thinking of this, she grabbed another handful of sweet potato vines and muttered to herself:
“Please, tonight, let’s switch to someone else! Change it, change it!”
Zhou Qian: …
“Don’t you want to know about your past through your dreams?”
“Even though your ex-boyfriend is annoying, you should still know what happened, right?”
Huai Yu shook her head madly: “Everything that happens in this world has its reason.”
“Since I’ve forgotten those things, there must be a reason for it.”
She said this with such a sense of conviction, as if it were her inherent worldview.
Unfortunately, since she woke up, everyone she’s encountered—whether Lin Xuefeng, Uncle Jujube, or Chen Xing—had this same worldview.
By now, her beliefs were becoming more and more firm, and her worldview was completely shaped, so she now spoke about these things as if they were completely natural.
“And from my personal feeling, it’s clear that I wasn’t happy back then. Why keep unhappy memories? To make my life even worse? I don’t want that.”
“Besides, what’s the point of thinking about a breakup? There are only a few reasons, right?”
“I changed my heart, he changed his heart.”
She looked only sixteen or seventeen, yet spoke about relationships with such confidence that Zhou Qian couldn’t help but laugh.
“If I changed my heart, then it’s definitely his fault.”
“If he changed his heart, then maybe he’s wronging me… but, anyway, since everything’s so unlucky, it doesn’t matter if I hate him even more.”
“I can’t be bothered to think about it anymore.”
Well, not thinking might actually be a good thing. If you don’t think too much, you have fewer troubles.
Zhou Qian had just been thinking this when Huai Yu suddenly asked him:
“If Wu Yue comes here next time, can you guys work with Big Boy and Second Boy to break his hand?”
She asked with such sincerity, as if the idea had already played out in her mind, and her natural attitude left Zhou Qian speechless.
Let’s not mention whether he could even beat the current guards, but if Big Boy, Second Boy, and Crazy Biao could easily defeat Wu Yue, then what on earth made Wu Yue become a guard officer?
Zhou Qian thought for a moment, worried that Huai Yu might act on her impulse, and tried to dissuade her:
“Didn’t you say you’ve broken up and won’t think about it anymore? Why be so stubborn and break his hand?”
But Huai Yu shook her head: “Because he’s so annoying in the dream!”
In the dream, Huai Yu had gone through so much effort to help him down the mountain, only to not even pick a mushroom. The guy, who was elegant and handsome, used his face to coax her, wasting her whole morning. Then, at lunch, he said he wanted to thank her, but instead waited for his friends to come and eat together…
And then… that was it!
It was gone!
Huai Yu was furious!
She was clearly lacking money, anyone could tell! If she wasn’t poor, which girl in her teens would go up the mountain alone to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables early in the morning?
It was the wilderness!
Her face was tanned from the daily struggles.
But because she was too shy to directly ask, he just vaguely gave her a thank-you!
She angrily said to Zhou Qian, “Do I look like someone who doesn’t care about money? Even if he thought directly giving me 300 or 500 would be insulting, couldn’t he at least buy me a gift?”
“Gold would be fine, easy to sell!”
“I helped him down the mountain for two hours, supporting him the whole way!”
“My time isn’t worth anything?”
Frowning in anger, she concluded: “Cheap and pretentious!”
Zhou Qian: …
Ahem.
He originally had something to say, but after thinking it through, he didn’t know what to say and just kept quiet.
After a while, he said, “Maybe… dreams are like serial dramas, and the real thank-you will come later?”
Huai Yu wasn’t buying it: “No way, right? Even if I’m not a lifesaver, I’ve helped enough!”
“Do I need to wait for a ‘dreamed thank-you’ before I get something?”
Zhou Qian smiled helplessly: “Alright, alright, if it makes you so angry, don’t think about it. Just consider it as doing good deeds without expecting anything in return.”
“I expect it!”
Huai Yu was in a hurry: “If I had the conditions, I could do good deeds every day without asking for anything in return.”
“But the me in the dream doesn’t have anything! No money, nothing, and I wasted half a day earning money just to help someone. I don’t have the right to ask for nothing!”
“And if not nothing, then at least a nice meal, right?”
And what happened?
In the dream, Huai Yu really was noble, helping him down to a restaurant, running errands to buy medicine, cleaning his wounds, getting water, buying food.
But the young Wu Yue only looked at her awkwardly and said things like “Thank you,” “You’ve worked hard,” “I’m so grateful.”
But he didn’t even take out a penny!
Huai Yu was both angry and sad: “Idiot.”
And the most infuriating part was when she was about to say goodbye, he awkwardly pulled out his phone—not to give her a payment code, but a WeChat ID!
With a slightly embarrassed smile on his handsome face:
“Can… can I have your contact?”
Young Huai Yu, for once, gathered the courage to speak:
“87 for the medicine today, 15 for water and breakfast. Can we settle this?”
For Huai Yu, this was supposed to be a happy thing, but when she saw his shocked and embarrassed expression, she was even angrier!
But there was nothing she could do; it was a dream, and she was only seeing the past.
So, she could only watch as Wu Yue blushed and said: “Sorry, I forgot—then, can you add me as a friend?”
Update 1. Monthly votes, top five, top five, I really want them! [Strong hint!]
Thank you all, the sprint is really fast, grateful!
[Actually, young Wu Yue wasn’t that annoying, but since Xiaoyu found him annoying, he became even more so in the dream.]
