Chapter 148: Confession

Liu's mother was about to say something when Liu Chuxue had already gathered her thoughts: "Mom, if this happens again in the future, just slap her twice. If the matter blows up, I'll go straight to the county to file a complaint."

Liu's mother also knew she couldn't endure it every time; if she did for too long, people would think she was easy to bully: "I understand. Mom will listen to you."

She took the oil paper, wrapped six steamed buns made of mixed wheat and corn flour: "I'll go deliver them first."

Saying this, she ran out.

When she arrived at the village committee, the two public security officers were just coming out: "Comrades, please wait a moment. This is some dried food made of mixed wheat and corn flour steamed at home. It's already noon; take it with you to have a bite."

They wanted to decline, but the village party secretary also stepped forward: "Take it. You've traveled such a long distance; it's a child's small gesture of goodwill."

The older public security officer accepted the oil-paper package: "Thank you."

Watching the two public security officers leave, the old secretary reminded her: "The Ge family probably won't settle down. Your family should be careful too; I'm afraid they will turn their spearhead toward you."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "I know. I will guard against them."

Fu Yan Cheng, coming from the direction of the new house, saw the two standing in front of the village committee gate: "Why are you standing here?"

"Comrade Fu, why are you here?"

The secretary had gone to the township for a meeting early in the morning and had only just returned to the village a short while ago; he did not know that Fu Yan Cheng had come to deliver sand.

Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "I brought some sand over for Liu Chuxue and the others."

The secretary saw him speak so naturally, looked at Liu Chuxue, then looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "You two?"

Fu Yan Cheng had just heard people discussing Liu Chuxue when he arrived; he felt very unhappy about it. Besides, he had no need to lie to the secretary: "I am actively striving for it, but the specifics depend on Liu Chuxue's wishes."

The secretary actually favored the two of them, after all, Comrade Fu was truly excellent.

Liu Chuxue heard Fu Yan Cheng's words; although he indeed liked this kind of thing, she had truly not thought that far: "What nonsense are you talking?"

Having said this, she turned around and headed toward her own home.

Fu Yan Cheng greeted the secretary and then chased after her: "Liu Chuxue, I know doing this is wrong, but I don't want you to get hurt."

Liu Chuxue stopped her steps: "What do you mean?"

Fu Yan Cheng did not hide it either: "When I was coming over just now, I heard people discussing you, so I listened in."

He took a deep breath: "Liu Chuxue, this isn't a sudden impulse, nor do I want to take responsibility for you because of others' idle talk; it's because I have a good impression of you. No, not a good impression, it's liking. Is that okay?"

Liu Chuxue didn't expect this person to be so straightforward, but she wasn't averse to it.

In her previous life, she had been an old leftover woman; she had envied her best friend's happy family life with her husband and child more than once. She had dated, but they all broke up for one reason or another, and in the end, she died without even tasting what a man smelled like.

She stared blankly at Fu Yan Cheng; building a family with the man before her eyes should be nice. Moreover, she had always had a good impression of soldiers and public security officers in uniform. She shamelessly felt her heart stir.

Although the original body was not yet eighteen, her past self was thirty-two, a proper old leftover woman.

Thinking this way, did she count as an old cow eating fresh grass? "Fu Yan Cheng, how old are you this year?"

Hearing Liu Chuxue's question, he felt a bit nervous; after all, he was seven years older than her, and he feared the young girl would find him too old: "I am twenty-three by full age."

He deliberately said "full age"; he was truly cunning.

In her previous life, she had gone on many blind dates and had checked zodiac compatibility more than once. Fu Yan Cheng was born in the Year of the Rabbit, and she was born in the Year of the Dog; they were a match made in heaven. Rabbits and dogs relying on and guarding each other; her heart was even more joyful.

She couldn't help but think in her heart: Why not give it a try?
