Chapter 169



169 New Discovery

Huang Jue was originally walking in front. He turned around and saw Gu Man and Xiang Yin standing side by side, looking up at the egrets.

Suddenly, he had a feeling that they were a little like a couple.

Huang Jue even touched his chin self-righteously and nodded. He was secretly happy about his discovery. Brother Xiang and Cousin Gu Man looked very compatible. It was normal for them to be a couple.

When Gu Man turned around and wanted to continue walking, she saw Huang Jue’s strange gaze in front of her. She could not help but stare at Huang Jue in confusion and ask silently.

Huang Jue chuckled and did not answer. He turned around and said as he ran forward, “Cousin, let’s go to the stone bridge again.”

Gu Man gritted her teeth. There was definitely something wrong with this boy’s gaze just now.

The reason why Huang Jue ran was because he felt that it was necessary for him to create a space for them. He did not want to be a third wheel.

“Is it my imagination? Why is your cousin suddenly so excited?” Xiang Yin followed behind Gu Man and could not help but ask when he saw Huang Jue running away with a smile.

“He’s still a child.” Gu Man was speechless as she looked at Huang Jue’s back view.

“It’s good that your cousin is like this. He has his own thoughts on major matters, but he still retains a child’s heart when he plays.” Xiang Yin praised.

“Don’t praise him in front of him. I’m afraid he’s going to float,” Gu Man said calmly.

Xiang Yin smiled. “I don’t think he knows how to be arrogant. How can he get carried away just because of a few words from me?”

“That’s true. Although my grandmother’s family isn’t rich, my uncle and grandmother treat him extremely well and are very attentive to his education. That’s why he has such a cheerful personality today.”

“It’s strange for you to be so quiet,” Xiang Yin teased.

Gu Man sighed slightly. “I don’t know how this happened either.”

She recalled the Host’s memories. The Host’s childhood was not bad, but after junior high school, she slowly became sensible and meticulous. She gradually yearned for the Gu family and thought that how can she, a daughter of a rich family, live in the countryside? From then on, she had a terrible life in the Gu family in Han City.

“But personality is inherited and nurtured. It’s really hard to say.”

“Okay.” Gu Man nodded. “Let’s walk faster. Huang Jue is waving.”

“Okay.”

Huang Jue waved his hand from a small stone bridge.

As soon as Gu Man walked to the bridge, Huang Jue asked excitedly, “Cousin, do you remember when we jumped into the water on this bridge in the past? At that time, Grandma didn’t allow us to jump, so we secretly ran over. When we went back, we were even punished to kneel for an hour.”

Xiang Yin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Man. This made Gu Man feel a little embarrassed. Who would have thought that the Host would be so jumpy?

Gu Man dealt with Huang Jue. “I remember, I remember.” At the same time, she was worried that Huang Jue would reveal more about her when she was young. She quickly said, “Let’s go back. It’s almost time to eat.”

“My dad said that there’s an hour before we can eat. It’s still early. Cousin, it’s not easy for you to come back. I’ll bring you around more. Otherwise, you’ll forget.” Huang Jue was still in high spirits.

The reason why he said so much was to let Xiang Yin understand his cousin better. His cousin was very lively and cute when she was young.

“Let’s not go. I’m a little tired. It’s about time to walk back slowly.” Gu Man looked at Huang Jue’s expectant gaze and rejected him.

“Okay,” Huang Jue said, discouraged.

Xiang Yin smiled and asked, “Huang Jue, you seem to like the countryside a lot.”

“Of course I like it. I was born and raised here. In the future, I’ve decided to come back to town to be a village chief after I finish studying and continue to build our town.” Huang Jue became serious.

“Great ambition.” Xiang Yin praised generously.

Hearing Xiang Yin’s praise, Huang Jue felt embarrassed. He had accidentally said some bold words just now, but now that he thought about it, he was really a little arrogant. He scratched his head. “That depends on me getting into a good university.”

“Everything depends on the person. One difficulty after another will be overcome. You will eventually reach the other side of your dream,” Gu Man encouraged.

When Huang Jue heard this, he nodded firmly.
