"Iâm a farmer, working the land!"
Xiaobei saw her staring at him in disbelief and responded calmly.
Upon hearing Xiaobeiâs answer, Meng Zhenzhen widened her eyes and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "A farmer? Did you just say youâre a farmer? Like the kind with a shovel and all?"
"Yes!"
"No wonder you look so full of energy!"
Having said that, she didnât continue speaking to Xiaobei but turned to Song Yaling with a mocking look and said, "Yaling, I really didnât expect youâd end up choosing a farmer!"
At this moment, she suddenly felt much better!
Because she felt she finally beat Song Yaling once, and quite thoroughly at that...
Hearing the disdain in her words, Yaling squinted her eyes and said lightly, "Itâs none of your business, is it?"
"True, itâs none of my business, but I just feel wronged for you!"
At this point, she looked at Xiaobei and teased, "Youâre a farmer? Really good at farming, arenât you?"
Seeing through her intentions, Xiaobei glanced at her calmly, "More or less!"
Hearing Xiaobeiâs straightforward response, Meng Zhenzhen laughed loudly and swiftly commanded, "How about this, you come to my place and farm for me! Iâve got a large patch ready in the backyard to grow something myself, come help me out!"
Giving her a deep look, Xiaobei said lightly, "I could help you, but you canât afford it, so letâs just forget it."
"Canât afford it? Whatâs there not to afford? How much do you earn daily in the village? Iâll pay you three times that, wouldnât that work?"
"Three times?"
Shaking his head gently, Xiaobei didnât say anything more.
...
Seeing Xiaobei just shake his head, Meng Zhenzhen didnât say anything further either.
In her view, as long as she hit Xiaobei and Song Yaling hard, itâs enough.
Previously, she valued Song Yaling a lot, but now, not so much, thinking Yaling has terribly poor taste!
Of all choices, she ended up picking someone who works the fields all day.
Soon, Xiaobei, Song Yaling, and she arrived at the backyard.
This was the party spot!
Meng Zhenzhen had specially decorated it earlier, so it looked pretty decent.
"Yaling, weâre having the party here later, do you think itâs okay?"
"Not bad!"
Song Yaling spoke gently.
Seeing Yalingâs indifferent look, Meng Zhenzhen frowned and said, "Yaling, arenât you a bit shocked? Havenât you ever seen such a perfect view before?"
In her eyes, Yaling should be shocked by now!
But actually, she wasnât, which made Meng Zhenzhen very frustrated.
It felt like her punches landed on cotton.
"Yeah, I see it every day, and honestly, the view is much better!"
Song Yaling looked at Meng Zhenzhen and spoke calmly.
At this moment, Song Yaling genuinely found the view dull in comparison to the utterly perfect Immortal Realm in Xiaohe Village, it really fell short by a large margin!
You could even say theyâre not even in the same league...
Upon hearing Yalingâs response, Meng Zhenzhen mocked, "Yaling, how long has it been, and youâve already learned to boast? Seeing it every day, do you think Iâd believe that?"
"Whether you believe it or not is your business!"
"Haha! Alright, you guys wait here for a while, Iâll check on when the others are arriving!"
"Go ahead!"
After she swayed her hips away quickly, Yaling looked at Xiaobei and apologized, "Hey little rascal, Iâve made you bored this time."
She knew Xiaobei very well, knowing he wasnât fond of these gatherings.
So surely, he must be feeling particularly bored now.
"Itâs alright! But your classmate really broadened my horizons!"
"Yeah, she was a bit restrained during school, but now she loves flaunting even more, had I known, I wouldnât have come."
Thinking of Meng Zhenzhen, Yaling shook her head lightly.
During school, despite not getting along with Meng Zhenzhen, Yaling still missed her a bit, so she wanted to see her now.
Yaling thought she must have changed a lot over such a long time!
But now, she realized she was purely overthinking it.
Because not only hadnât Meng changed, sheâs even gotten worse.
"Since weâre here, letâs enjoy it! We havenât taken a good break in a while, letâs treat this as a chance to relax today!"
"You have a point!"
As they talked, Xiaobei and Yaling sat down near the gazebo...
Although this environment is worlds apart from Xiaohe Village, itâs still not bad...
...
Half an hour later, everyone had arrived.
Soon, all these people learned that Song Yaling had a boyfriend, and he was a farmer too.
"Youâre Hu Xiaobei, right? Youâre really a farmer?"
"Wow!"
"I never expected that!"
Surrounded by all these people, Xiaobei smiled lightly and said, "Even if you make me say it ten thousand times, my answer remains the same: Iâm a farmer."
As Xiaobei responded, Yaling was also surrounded.
"Yaling, you canât let your emotions cloud your judgment, what can a farmer give you!"
"Exactly, he wonât help with your career, and you have no common language."
"Yes, donât fall too deep!"
Hearing all these bits of advice, Yaling smiled lightly.
She knew some of these people were genuinely thinking about her future.
So right now, Yaling wasnât particularly angry.
Glancing at Xiaobei surrounded in the distance, she spoke calmly, "I feel great! Finding a partner is like choosing shoes, as long as they fit, right?"
"Yes, as long as they fit! But you see, if you donât want shoes you can throw them away, but a partner is a lifelong matter!"
Just as Yaling finished speaking, a disdainful sneer came through, and she raised her head to see Meng Zhenzhen holding a glass of red wine, looking at her with a sneer.
"A lifetime, then a lifetime! I definitely wonât regret it!"
At this point, Yaling deliberately shifted the topic, "Zhenzhen, I heard youâve found your partner too, why havenât we seen him?"
Upon hearing Yalingâs question, Meng Zhenzhen raised her head arrogantly and said, "You mean my husband! Heâll come in a bit, heâs not like yours, heâs very busy! If he wasnât busy, how could he have bought me this European-style villa and all these jewels, right?"
Upon hearing her mention the jewels, everyone looked at her wrist, and instantly saw the three sparkling bracelets.
Noticing their attention, Meng Zhenzhen feigned annoyance and said, "You know, my husband is so extravagant, buying me three whole bracelets, but thankfully, the most expensive one is only a little over a hundred thousand! Still acceptable!"
"Over a hundred thousand? Your husband treats you well!"
"Indeed!"
Praising her, those who originally surrounded Yaling quickly flocked over...
