"Is that your boyfriend?"
As the two of them strolled along, they noticed a man following them at a comfortable distance.
"No, don't mind him. By the way, Qiaoli, do you have a boyfriend?"
Qiaoli smiled knowingly, thinking that even if he wasn't her boyfriend, he must be a suitor of Yu Suihuan. "I don't! But this guy is really good-looking and keeps staring at you. He clearly likes you."
"Please, there are plenty of girls staring at him!"
Yu Suihuan and Wu Qiaoli were of similar age and quickly became familiar with each other, teasing one another.
"Well, what can I say? You can know a person's face but not their heart."
"My family is anxious about me getting married. Hey, aren't we talking about you? Why are we back to me again? Doesn't your family urge you?"
"They do! They even set me up on blind dates!"
Wu Qiaoli forced a smile and sighed.
"What's wrong? Haven't found anyone suitable? Or do you already have someone you like?"
The two hit it off easily, and since Wu Qiaoli was straightforward, Yu Suihuan felt comfortable enough to ask directly.
"Actually, I do have someone I like, which is why I don't want to settle!"
Wu Qiaoli lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
"If you like someone, then just be with him! What’s there to hesitate about?"
"But he went to the countryside as a Zhiqing, and I don’t know when he’ll be back."
"Besides, I’m not even sure if he likes me!"
After all this time, it turned out to be unrequited love.
"If you like him, just tell him! What if he likes you too? Life is short; you can't just wait around for him!"
"But I'm a girl! How can I take the initiative to say that? And what if he doesn't like me? Being rejected face-to-face would be..."
"Then you'll just keep waiting. Who knows how long it will take for him to return to the city? And when he does come back, what if he brings his wife and kids with him?"
This was the first time anyone had ever spoken to her like this.
Wu Qiaoli was known for her gentle and virtuous nature, a trait deeply rooted in her family's traditions. Throughout her life, the most defiant act she had ever committed was refusing to participate in blind dates.
"By the way, where is the person you like from?"
"Seems like he’s from Heihei Province, but I’m not too sure about the details!"
"Heihei Province? I was just in Heihei Province not long ago!"
"Really? Do you think you might know him?"
Wu Qiaoli's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement. The mere fact that Yu Suihuan and her crush hailed from the same place made her even more animated.
"Probably not. Heihei Province is so vast, and there are so many Zhiqing (educated youth) sent down there, along with countless Youth Communes. How could we possibly know each other?"
Yu Suihuan added, "From what I know, there are several Production Teams near Shi Gou Village."
"That's true!" Wu Qiaoli replied, her tone tinged with evident disappointment.
Curiosity piqued Yu Suihuan's interest. What kind of remarkable man could captivate Wu Qiaoli so completely?
"What’s his name? Maybe I can ask a friend to find out more for you!"
Yu Suihuan had completely forgotten her original purpose for visiting; her desire to help Wu Qiaoli stemmed purely from their engaging conversation.
"His name is Huo Dongkai!"
"What?!"
Could it really be such a coincidence? It felt almost unbelievable to Yu Suihuan as she sought confirmation.
"Are you saying he’s Huo Dongkai? Does he have an older brother named Huo Yaojun and a cousin named Liu Yingyu?"
With each name Yu Suihuan mentioned, Wu Qiaoli's eyes widened further.
"Could it be that I got them all right?"
Yu Suihuan was equally astonished, finally recalling the true reason for her visit.
