The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Love at First Sight

Feng Ergou was utterly captivated. Clutching his chest, he finally understood the feeling of love at first sight.

He stared longingly after Xu Wenwan’s departing figure, watching mesmerized for a good while.

He didn’t snap out of his daze until she had completely vanished from sight.

’I’ve made my decision,’ he thought. ’I’m going to marry this girl.’

’If Leng Yuan can marry an educated youth, why can’t I!’

’But wait, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this girl in the team before. Is she a new educated youth?’

’No, I have to go ask around.’

Xu Wenwan, unaware of Feng Ergou’s thoughts, had finally found the grain-sunning ground.

By then, all the educated youths had already arrived.

Their turn to receive grain was scheduled later, so they hadn’t arrived as early. They waited until most of the villagers had gotten their share.

When Li Hongmei saw Gu Jiaojiao and, next to her, the man she dreamed of day and night, she couldn’t resist walking over.

Her gaze flickered stealthily over Leng Yuan’s face before landing on Gu Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, why didn’t you come find me when you came to get your grain?"

As Li Hongmei spoke, she snuck glances at Leng Yuan.

Gu Jiaojiao looked perplexed. "Why would I look for you? Are you going to help me carry my grain?"

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Li Hongmei’s face, but she was thick-skinned and recovered quickly. "Jiaojiao, you’re so funny."

’I have my own grain to carry!’

’As if I’d carry grain for Gu Jiaojiao.’

Gu Jiaojiao was getting annoyed with Li Hongmei hovering around. Giving her a quick look up and down, she spotted the bracelet on her wrist and snatched it right off.

Li Hongmei was instantly alarmed. "Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"

Clutching the bracelet, Gu Jiaojiao smiled. "This looks like it’s mine. I was wondering where it went. So you had it all along."

The original Gu Jiaojiao had bought the bracelet at a department store in the city before coming to the countryside. It had an exquisite design and had cost fifty cents!

However, it was something the original owner of her body had liked. The current Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t a fan, so she’d never paid it any mind.

If Li Hongmei hadn’t been hovering in front of her, constantly giving her man those furtive, covetous looks, she wouldn’t have even bothered with her.

"One hundred catties of fine grain and over a thousand work points? How could they have so much?"

Some of them toiled all year and only earned a little over two thousand work points. How on earth did Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan, just the two of them, rack up over a thousand?

And a hundred catties of fine grain, no less!

Fine grain was precious these days—one hundred catties of it was worth three hundred catties of coarse grain. On what grounds did they deserve so much?

The entire team was in an uproar.

Forget the villagers; even Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao themselves hadn’t expected to receive so much.

Xu Wenwan had just stepped onto the grain-sunning ground and was looking around for someone.

When she heard the name "Leng Yuan," she froze for a second before it clicked. ’Isn’t Leng Yuan Gu Jiaojiao’s husband?’

In the one day she had been at the Qingshan Team, her first order of business had been to ask about Gu Jiaojiao. That’s how she learned that Gu Jiaojiao hadn’t returned to the educated youth dormitory but had married Leng Yuan instead.

’This is a huge departure from the novel I wrote.’

The thought that the plot had changed made Xu Wenwan forget all about finding Yun Hao. Instead, her gaze fixed on Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao.
