"My dad went to pay back the money today, and my brother also went to deliver the betrothal gifts."
At the village entrance, Li Xiuli had been waiting there for a while. Today, her face was flushed with more color, looking quite shy.
"Is it okay to use it?"
"I don't know. I heard that family is quite overbearing. They have a son who is involved in the underworld in the city, so I'm a bit worried."
Zhan Lingfeng said, "Don't worry too much; we live in a society governed by law now."
"Yeah, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? I'm just helping out a bit. You can repay me later when you start working; it's no big deal."
Zhan Lingfeng naturally wouldn't mention that it was a gift for their family. This little beauty may seem delicate, but she is very strong-willed inside.
"I will definitely repay you."
The two of them didn't wait for Yue Zhiwu and headed towards Xue Xiu instead.
Along the way, they didn't speak and were both focused on their books, walking while reciting.
Zhan Lingfeng was still memorizing the dictionary; he had nearly memorized this thick book.
"Are you really memorizing the dictionary?" Li Xiuli asked, breaking her usual silence and taking the initiative to ask.
"Yeah, I have a good memory; I just need to memorize it."
"Actually, from your exam performance, I feel that your weakest point is still your calculation ability. As long as you improve in this area, your grades will get better."
"I know about this; it's just that it can't be fixed all at once."
"Well, I'll help you catch up."
The cold beauty has taken the initiative now!
Zhan Lingfeng couldn't help but feel delighted; indeed, there isn't a woman who can't be won over, it's just a matter of approach.
In fact, everyone understood what was said when the money was sent over yesterday. Since receiving that sum from the Li Family, there has been an unspoken agreement: from that moment on, Li Xiuli belongs to Zhan Lingfeng. This has always been the rule in the village; even without a marriage certificate, that situation was already settled. This is also why Li Xiuli, despite being shy, wanted to learn more about Zhan Lingfeng.
Although they used to go to school together, Li Xiuli never interacted much with Zhan Lingfeng and didn't pay much attention to him. However, recently, Zhan Lingfeng's changes have piqued her curiosity and astonishment; she realized that this big boy was indeed changing rapidly.
"It's great that you can help me catch up on this knowledge," Zhan Lingfeng said with a happy expression.
When they arrived at the countryside, Zhan Lingfeng pulled Li Xiuli and said, "Come on, let's go have some noodles."
"No thanks."
"Come on."
Zhan Lingfeng knew the situation of the Li Family; Li Xiuli had actually never eaten breakfast. Even for lunch, she usually brought food like rice balls from home.
Overwhelmed by Zhan Lingfeng's insistence, she had no choice but to follow him.
Outside the school, there were some people setting up a stove and cooking noodles for breakfast. After Zhan Lingfeng sat down with Li Xiuli, he said, "Cook two bowls and fry two eggs on top."
When Li Xiuli wanted to say something, Zhan Lingfeng said, "From now on, listen to me."
At that moment, Li Xiuli glanced at Zhan Lingfeng, her heart became chaotic, and she fell silent, as if her entire being had relaxed.
In fact, Li Xiuli had already thought this through.
In matters like this, girls mature and understand things earlier; she naturally knew her family's thoughts. Accepting money from someone was equivalent to offering herself to Zhan Lingfeng as a woman. Initially, when Zhan Lingfeng displayed a certain masculine dominance, she felt a sense of resentment. However, as she realized that she had essentially sold herself to Zhan Lingfeng, that feeling of rejection diminished significantly.
Moreover, she had witnessed Zhan Lingfeng's transformation; he was no longer just a boy but had become a strong man. Being with such a man gave her an overwhelming sense of security.
If it weren't for Zhan Lingfeng's appearance, Li Xiuli didn't know what her fate would have been. She probably would have ended up marrying a fool, a foolish man in his forties. The thought filled her with fear and even resentment towards her family for pushing her into such a situation, knowing it would lead her to ruin.
Looking at Zhan Lingfeng, who was busy preparing things, Li Xiuli felt a tenderness in her eyes. It was this man who had pulled her back; although he made her work to repay the money, she understood in her heart that Zhan Lingfeng was giving her face and providing her with an opportunity. He was a caring man.
Since that was the case, what was there to reject? What if she became his woman? Even if she couldn't truly marry him, having his care and affection was enough.
Sitting there, Li Xiuli's mind was filled with thoughts.
"Hurry up and eat."
At that moment, Zhan Lingfeng brought over a steaming bowl of noodles topped with two perfectly fried eggs.
Seeing the bowl of noodles and noticing Zhan Lingfeng's insistence on making her eat breakfast stirred feelings of being cared for within her.
Tears welled up in Li Xiuli's eyes, ready to spill over.
Lowering her head, Li Xiuli remained silent as she picked up the noodles with chopsticks. While shedding tears, she began to eat.
It smells great!
It's really delicious!
Li Xiuli couldn't find the words to describe this bowl of noodles; even at home, she had never eaten such a bowl of noodles.
Zhan Lingfeng noticed the change in Li Xiuli's expression but chose not to look at her, pretending he hadn't seen it.
Although Zhan Lingfeng wasn't clear about Li Xiuli's emotional changes, he guessed that this was a bowl of noodles for a child who could barely afford meals at home, and it was likely something she would remember for the rest of her life.
"Let's eat here from now on. We shouldn't eat at home anymore; let's come here instead," Zhan Lingfeng casually suggested while walking.
"Mm."
Li Xiuli didn't object and only responded with a sound that probably only she could hear.
The classroom was already filled with many people, and Zhao Zhiwu had arrived long ago. However, his gaze towards Li Xiuli was extremely complicated.
No one had any particular thoughts about Zhan Lingfeng and Li Xiuli entering the classroom together since they had walked the mountain path together.
After sitting down, Zhan Lingfeng set those thoughts aside and picked up his textbook, focusing on studying seriously again.
