of a cello, making her body tingle with a pleasant, numb sensation as if she'd been touched by electricity."What did your uncle do"Shen Mingxuan asked meaningfully.Ning Shu thought the man was shamele...Zheng Feng remained silent, feeling as though he might be possessed. Otherwise, how could he have been so consumed by thoughts of the young man these past few days His mind was filled with the youth's image: his delicate features, red lips and white teeth, and his slender, soft body, with skin like polished ivory.

He's at the peak of his youth, he should be thinking about women, what use is thinking about a man

Zheng Feng didn't understand, but the first thought that crossed his mind when he heard Ning Shu hanging out with other girls in the village was a firm "no". He couldn't allow young people to cling to him from the start, and now he had found someone else. What did this even mean

His chest felt like a vat of vinegar had been overturned. He furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "Do you like her"

Ning Shu was a little stunned: "What"

Zheng Feng walked up to the person and said, "Zhao Xiuxiu, are you interested in her"

Ning Shu came back to her senses and understood what he meant: "Brother Feng, don't talk nonsense. I was just chatting with Sister Xiú."

Zheng Feng swept a sharp glance over the room, his expression unreadable. "Since you don't like her, don't give her any ideas." Just thinking about Ning Shu and Zhao Xiuxiu laughing and chatting together filled his chest with an unexplainable rage and bitterness.

"Sister Xiu is just treating me like a younger brother." Ning Shu pursed her lips, finding Zheng Feng's idea absurd. Unable to help herself, she explained, "She came to me because she had something to do, and I happened to be able to help."

Zheng Feng raised an eyebrow and interrupted him coldly: "Then why did she only find you and not anyone else"

Ning Shu fell silent, he only felt Zheng Feng's tone was almost domineering and unreasonable.

But he couldn't figure out why.

Zheng Feng stared at the youth for a few eyes, and finally threw down a sentence: "If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

"After all, you said you wouldn't be interested in Zhao Xiuxiu."

Then Yang Chang left.

......

Ning Shu couldn't fall asleep. In the countryside, people usually went to bed early because there wasn't much entertainment. At night, it was pitch black outside with crickets chirping and a few fireflies flickering in the yard.

He opened his eyes, a little confused about why Zheng Feng was so angry with him.

...Could it be because of Sister Xiuxiu

Ning Shu seemed to have suddenly enlightened, "That's right, Xiu Xiu is pretty.... In a place like this countryside, she also knows how to dress up. A young girl her age should have many admirers."

Could Zheng Feng also be one of them

Ning Shu the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. Otherwise, why would the other party suddenly turn their face when they saw her with Xiu Xiu's sister And why would they ask her to guarantee that she would never be with Xiu Xiu's sister

He let out a breath, feeling like he had finally figured out the cause of the problem.

...but why didn't Zheng Feng tell him

Ning Shu's heart felt a little stuffy.

He thought that his relationship with Zheng Feng had progressed rapidly over the past period, and they were considered friends, weren't they But Ning Shu also thought, perhaps Zheng Feng's liking was just a crush, who knows.

Ning Shu closed her eyes, since this was the case... then should he help play matchmaker in the middle

If Zhengfeng really likes Xiuxiu Jie, and he helps her in this and fulfills her wish, it should be very beneficial to his own mission, right

But it ultimately depends on what Show Show thinks.

Just like that, lost in her thoughts for a while, Ning Shu suddenly didn't feel so hot anymore and gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Xiuxiu came again.

She wanted to thank Ning Shu, so she brought over some flower cakes she had made at home.

This flower cake has a fragrant flavor and tastes great. Even on such a hot day, Ning Shu wouldn't find it cloying as he ate it. He nodded and praised the flower cake as delicious.

"Are these cookies made by your aunt"

Zhao Xiuxiu's cheeks were slightly flushed, then she smiled and said, "I made it." She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Actually... I'm not much older than you. When you call me 'Xiuxiu Jie,' I feel like you're calling me old."

Ning Shu was startled. She hadn't expected her to mind this. After thinking for a moment, she hesitantly asked, "Then what should I call you"

Zhao Xiuxiu showed a dimple: "Just call me Xiuxiu."

Ning Shu nodded and called out to her, "Xiaoxiao." Zhao Xiaoxiao stared at his long eyelashes and skin that was so white it seemed to glow. In these past few days in the countryside, he hadn't tanned at all.

She felt a blush creep up her cheeks, mixed with a tinge of envy.

"Xiu Xiu..." Ning Shu thought of something: "What do you think of Zheng Feng"

Since he was thinking of possibly pairing Zheng Feng and Zhao Xiuxiu together, naturally he also needed to ask Zhao Xiuxiu what she thought.

Zhao Xiuxiu's face changed quickly when she heard this.

But Ning Shu didn't notice.

She bit her lip, unsure whether to directly criticize the villagers' shortcomings, fearing that it might lower the young man's impression of her. So she said, " ... Zheng Feng is a good guy. A lot of girls in the village want to marry him, but I heard he has high standards."

"...And he's hardworking, has a high school education, and his family was well-off before. If it weren't for the misfortune that happened, he would be doing even better now..."

Ning Shu couldn't help but ask, "What happened"

Zhao Xiuxiu said Zheng Feng originally studied in high school very well, and he was an outstanding person. At that time, everyone thought he would go to university in the future, bringing honor to his family. Who knew that during his senior year of high school, his father was diagnosed with cancer.

To cure his father's illness, his family sold everything they could. He stopped studying and went to work directly.

But his father ultimately left.

left a large debt.

Zheng Feng's grandparents are gone, and his mother ran away with another man. For a time, he was left all alone in the house. Everyone else got married early, some even before they were twenty, but Zheng Feng was over twenty and still single.

Ning Shu paused for a moment, no wonder, Zheng Feng's house was empty. She wondered if he ever felt lonely living alone

Zhao Xiuxi also felt that Zheng Feng was quite pitiful, but she felt more afraid of him. Although Zheng Feng wasn't a bad person and hadn't done anything wrong, he was still rather intimidating. He also looked pretty good.

But she was innately afraid of men who seemed tall and strong.

Zhao Xiuxiu was afraid of being with this kind of man. If she angered him, he could probably kill her with one punch. That's what she thought in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.

Just asked: "Ning Shu, you seem to have a good relationship with Zheng Feng, he wouldn't get angry with you usually, would he"

Ning Shu didn't hear the worry in her words, she shook her head and said: "Feng Ge is actually a pretty good person, he's good to me too..." She hesitated slightly and said: "It's just that he doesn't look very approachable on the outside."

Zhao Xiuxiu listened in silence, afraid that even in the countryside, only Ning Shu might be unaware and say such things.

No one in Zheng Feng Village dared to provoke him, let alone call him a brother. Usually, hooligans and thugs would avoid him, and even some "village bullies" didn't dare to cause trouble on his turf.

Ning Shu was also thinking, relying solely on Zhao Xiuxiu's few words, he couldn't tell if she had a good impression of Zheng Feng. Just as he was thinking about further probing, the door was knocked on, calmly and forcefully.

He paused for a moment, then went to open the door for them. Standing outside was Zheng Feng, and he naturally saw Zhao Xiuxiu in the courtyard. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he walked inside with a natural expression.

< > Not at all polite, as if they were going in and out of their own home. < >

"Have I arrived too late"

Ning Shujian saw that his gaze was indeed fixed on Zhao Xiuxiu, and he became even more certain that Zheng Feng liked her. He pursed his lips and followed up with: "Xiuxiu came to give me flower cakes, Brother Feng want to have some"

Zheng Feng immediately looked over with a fixed gaze, his expression changing instantly.

His jet-black eyes looked over, and despite it being the middle of summer, a chill ran down your spine. "You were calling me 'Sister Xiu' yesterday, weren't you Now you've changed your tune"

Zhao Xiuxiù chimed in, "It was me who told Ning Shu not to call me like that. He's making me sound old."

Zheng Feng said with handsome brows and eyes, "Isn't that true"

Zhao Xiuxiu's face was a bit pale and flushed.

Ning Shu: “.......” He knew why Zheng Feng had been unable to catch up with anyone for so long. Just relying on that mouth of his, even if he was good-looking, how could girls like him

But it's also possible that he's just jealous.

Ning Shu thought of the possibility, but Zhao Xiuxiu didn't know. He had to quickly smooth things over and say: "The weather is so hot, Auntie Liu brought back a few watermelons yesterday, I just happen to give you some to quench your thirst."

Zhao Xiuxiu's face softened a bit, and she softly said "good".

The watermelon was soaking in cold water, Ning Shu planned to go get it. Unexpectedly, Zheng Feng followed behind her. He felt that Zheng Feng was also insensitive and didn't take this opportunity to apologize properly.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "Feng ge, I'm fine coming alone."

Zheng Feng, however, looked at him and said: “Can you cut it yourself”

To him, Ning Shu seemed like a delicate city girl who couldn't do anything. She was unable to carry anything heavy or lift anything, and even cutting a watermelon would result in her cutting herself.

Ning Shu said, "Of course I will cut it."

Zheng Feng, however, took the knife from his hand and said in a low voice: “Step aside, let me do it. This knife is so sharp, if you’re not careful, it could even slice off someone’s finger.”

He was tall and strong, and incredibly powerful.

Ning Shu couldn't snatch the watermelon from him, so she could only watch helplessly as Zheng Feng skillfully took it out and sliced it into neat pieces. As he did these movements, his big hand held the watermelon, as if he could crush it with just a squeeze.

Having cut the watermelon, Zheng Feng, like a host, brought it to the yard and offered it to Zhao Xiuxiu.

Zhao Xiuxiu wasn't a fool; she naturally sensed Zheng Feng's hostility towards her. But people in this era weren't that advanced in their thinking, especially in rural areas like this one.

It must be unimaginable that Zheng Feng's reason for targeting her is Ning Shu.

Although Zhao Xiuxiu felt a bit unwell, she didn't say anything. She picked up a piece and started eating it slowly.rother Pei is almost getting engaged.""Engagement!"Immediately, there was heated discussion, could it be that the school grass of Jiang University is going to have a girlfriendWhich girl is so luckyAf...
