511 Earthly Paradise, Two Worlds

Qiao An’s condition was like the weather on the mountain. It came and went quickly.

Two days later, Qiao An appeared on the volunteer team and ran around the front line. Because many of the nearby villagers were infected with an unknown disease, no one did the farm work in the fields. However, it was the busy season for farming. When it was time to sow seedlings, some volunteers carried hoes to the fields.

Qiao An asked the surrounding villagers where Xing Chen was. She found out that he would go to the back mountain to pick herbs every day. After picking herbs, he would stay in the back mountain to help the villagers sow seeds, so she chose to go to the back mountain.

As expected, in the terraced fields at the back of the mountain, she saw Xing Chen and Xing Xiaoya. Xing Chen was weeding and turning the soil, and Xing Xiaoya was sowing seeds.

Qiao An imitated Xing Chen, picked up the extra hoe, and began to turn the soil.

However, she was too beautiful. Her white dress fluttered like a fairy. She stood in the crowd like beautiful scenery and immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Qiao An, you’d better not come. Be careful not to dirty your beautiful dress, but the gains won’t make up for the losses,” someone reminded Qiao An kindly.

Qiao An remembered what Xing Xiaoya had said. Xing hen liked hardworking and simple girls, so she worked hard.

However, farm work looked simple. Those who had never experienced it would be especially unfamiliar. She picked up the hoe, but it did not listen to her every sway at all.

Seeing her clumsy appearance, Xing Xiaoya sneered. “Miss Qiao, how can a rich young lady like you do farm work? You should rest at the side.”

Whether intentionally or not, she divided Qiao An and Xing Chen into two different worlds.

Qiao An looked at Xing Chen’s practiced movements and glared at Xing Xiao Ya angrily. “There’s nothing in this world that can stump me. There’s nothing I can’t do.”

Then, she glanced at Xing Xiaoya slyly and provoked, “Including chasing men.”

Xing Xiaoya was furious.

At this moment, the surrounding young people began to cheer. “Miss Qiao, do you like Xing Chen?”

Qiao An smiled brightly at the man, then nodded. “Yeah.”

Xing Chen’s hoe froze in the dirt. He glared at Qiao An and warned her, “Miss Qiao, please respect yourself.”

Qiao An carried the hoe and came to him. “I like you. Why is that considered as not respecting myself? You’re handsome, gentle, considerate, kind, and righteous. I like you because I have good taste. What right do you have to say that I don’t respect myself?”

Xing Chen was dumbfounded.

Did he have so many merits? He could understand her calling him handsome. But what the hell was gentle, considerate, kind, and righteous? She had only seen him for a few days and she already knew?

Therefore, in the eyes of others, Qiao An’s praise of Xing Chen was just flattery.

Everyone roared with laughter. “Miss Qiao, if you like our Xing Chen, you have to stay on this mountain and plant seedlings with him. Are you willing?”

In everyone’s jokes, there was actually a subconscious hidden meaning that Qiao An was a proud city girl and Xing Chen was a poor boy in the mountains.

Qiao An didn’t know that such a joke pierced Xing Chen deeply. He was such a proud person. How could he bear to let the girl who loved him deeply fall from the clouds to the mud?

Qiao An, on the other hand, didn’t care less. She chuckled at everyone. “As for me, I’ll go wherever he goes.”

A faint smile floated across Xing Chen’s eyes. Although he didn’t know how true her words were and how much of it was a game, he still felt a sweet sense of happiness.

Qiao An’s momentum in chasing after Xing Chen was so fierce that no one could withstand it. Xing Xiaoya was exasperated. She shouted at Qiao An, “Qiao An, do you know? A button on you is something we can’t earn in our lives. Why would a high and mighty young lady like you find a man in our trash? You’re just looking for novelty.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone tacitly shut up.

They might also agree with Xing Xiaoya.

Even Xing Chen felt inexplicably sad.

He felt that although Xing Xiaoya’s words were unpleasant, she was right about one thing. His values and Qiao An’s worldview would be worlds apart. Once the novelty passed, their differences would increase like a chasm. At that time, she might be able to give up on him easily.

And with his personality, he could not accept unsuccessful love.

Unexpectedly, Qiao An walked up to Xing Xiaoya angrily and corrected her words. “How is he considered coming from the trash heap? Xing Xiaoya, if you think you’re from the trash heap, please don’t bring anyone else into it. And you’re not allowed to bring Xing Chen. Because in my eyes, he’s like his name. He’s an unreachable star, the guiding light of my life.”

Xing Xiaoya said angrily, “You only know how to flatter. You people in the city read a lot and are scheming. Don’t think I don’t know that you just saw that my Xing Chen is good-looking and want to keep him.”

Qiao An said, “You’re right. I just want to keep him.”

Xing Chen’s handsome face darkened.

But Qiao An added, “But if I want to keep him, then I’ll keep him for the rest of my life. Not for novelty.”

Xing Xiaoya opened her mouth. After a long time, she suddenly revealed a terrifying secret.

“If I told you that Xing Chen has a big, ugly scar on his back and that he’s not as perfect as you think, would you still want him?”

Qiao An was stunned.

Her silence made Xing Chen tighten his grip on the hoe.

He thought that she must despise him.

How could he know that Qiao An’s heart ached so much for him that she couldn’t breathe?

She finally understood that his amnesia was just one of his pains.

After a long time, Qiao An’s ethereal voice sounded. “I won’t despise him.”

However, compared to her previous certainty and arrogance, her sorrowful and heavy moan more or less made people feel that her attitude was completely different.

Xing Chen suddenly roared angrily, “Enough. Miss Qiao, if you want to have fun, go back to your city. You’re not welcome here.”

Qiao An stared at him in a daze. Tears streamed down her face.

“I’m not having fun. I’m serious.”

Xing Chen picked up the hoe and left.

Xing Xiaoya mocked Qiao An smugly, “Did you see that? My Xing Chen hates you. Please stay away from him in the future. Don’t appear in front of him and make him unhappy.”

Qiao An looked at Xing Chen’s back in disappointment. She licked her lips gloomily and thought angrily, Huo Xiaoran, continue to pretend. When I conquer you, see how I slowly torture you.
