Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai were stopped by a few young people while waiting for someone from the village to pick them up. 0
 
"Do you need something?" Zhang Xiaoxiao frowned and asked. 0
 
"Zhang Xiaoxiao, are you really a university student?" the leading young man questioned. 0
 
"When did I say I was a university student?" Zhang Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. 0
 
"You clearly said that in the bookstore," the young man challenged. 0
 
"I said I graduated from university last year," Zhang Xiaoxiao corrected him. 0
 
"What!" The young man was shocked. 0
 
"Do you have any questions?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked impatiently. 0
 
"Which school did you attend?" the young man probed. 0
 
"Huaqing University," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied calmly. 0
 
"Huaqing University?" The group of young people was taken aback. 0
 
"What’s wrong?" Zhang Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes. 0
 
"Nothing, nothing," they quickly shook their heads. 0
 
"Do you have any more questions?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked evenly. 0
 
The young people exchanged glances and then shook their heads again. 0
 
"Since there are no more questions, we will be leaving now," Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled. 0
 
"Oh, okay," the young people responded, still in a daze. 0
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao took Zhao Guangcai's hand and turned to walk towards the village entrance. 0
 
"Zhang Xiaoxiao, your school must be fake, right?" one of the young men suddenly shouted. 0
 
"What do you think?" Zhang Xiaoxiao stopped and turned back to retort. 0
 
"I... I think..." the young man stammered. 0
 
"If you think it is, then it is; if you think it isn't, then it isn't," Zhang Xiaoxiao interrupted him. 0
 
"You..." The young man was left speechless. 0
 
"Let's go," Zhang Xiaoxiao said softly. 0
 
"Mm," Zhao Guangcai replied. 0
 
The two walked hand in hand, slowly moving forward as the sunset stretched their shadows long and thin. 0
 
"Boss, what should we do now?" one of the young men asked. 0
 
"First, find out her background," the leader replied coldly. 0
 
"Understood," the young man said respectfully. 0

When Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai reached the village entrance, no one from the village had arrived yet. 0
 
"Why haven't they come yet?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked anxiously. 0
 
 
"Just wait a bit longer," Zhao Guangcai comforted. 0
 
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied helplessly. 0
 
After another ten minutes, the villagers slowly arrived with their ox cart. 0
 
"Sorry for being late," the driver, a Fellow Villager, apologized. 0
 
"It's fine, we just got here too," Zhang Xiaoxiao said politely. 0
 
"That's good to hear," the Fellow Villager sighed in relief. 0
 
"Let's get on the cart," Zhao Guangcai suggested. 0
 
"Sure," Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed obediently. 0
 
The two of them climbed onto the ox cart, and the villagers cracked their whips as the cart slowly moved forward. 0
 
"The air here is really nice," Zhang Xiaoxiao remarked. 0
 
"If you like it, we can live here from now on," Zhao Guangcai said indulgently. 0
 
"Really?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise. 0
 
"Of course it's true," Zhao Guangcai replied gently. 0
 
"That's great!" Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly. 0
 
"Are you really that happy?" Zhao Guangcai chuckled. 0
 
"Of course! I love this kind of leisurely life," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with anticipation. 0
 
"Then we'll live this way from now on," Zhao Guangcai promised. 0
 
"Guangcai, you're so good to me," Zhang Xiaoxiao said as she nestled into Zhao Guangcai's embrace. 0
 
"You are my Wife; if I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?" Zhao Guangcai said affectionately. 0
 
The Fellow Villager driving the cart overheard their conversation and couldn't help but laugh. 0
 
"You two are really in love," the Fellow Villager said enviously. 0
 
"Sir, you're also very happy," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied politely. 0
 
"Hahaha, of course! My wife is very virtuous," the Fellow Villager boasted proudly. 0
 
"You are really lucky," Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled. 0
 
"You two are also very lucky to have found each other," the Fellow Villager remarked thoughtfully. 0
 
"Yes, we are both very lucky," Zhang Xiaoxiao said sweetly. 0
 
The ox cart swayed gently as Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned against Zhao Guangcai and gradually fell asleep. 0
 
Zhao Guangcai looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao's sleeping face and smiled happily. 0
 
"You really love your Wife, don't you?" the Fellow Villager asked with a smile. 0
 
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai replied softly. 0
 
"You two are a perfect match," the Fellow Villager said sincerely. 0
 
"Thank you," Zhao Guangcai expressed gratefully. 0
 
"No need to be polite," the Fellow Villager said generously. 0
 
Zhao Guangcai lowered his head and placed a kiss on Zhang Xiaoxiao's forehead. 0
 
 
"Young people these days are really open-minded," the Fellow Villager teased. 0
 
"I just want to tell her how much I love her," Zhao Guangcai said earnestly. 0
 
"Hahaha, you youngsters just love to talk about feelings and love," the Fellow Villager laughed heartily. 0
 
"I believe love should be expressed," Zhao Guangcai insisted. 0
 
"Well said," the Fellow Villager agreed. 0
 
"So, do you often say such things to Aunt?" Zhao Guangcai asked curiously. 0
 
"Of course! I tell her every day how much I love her," the Fellow Villager said proudly. 0
 
"Aunt must be very happy," Zhao Guangcai affirmed. 0
 
"Absolutely, she is my Wife," the Fellow Villager declared with pride. 0
 
Hearing the Fellow Villager's words, Zhao Guangcai showed an envious expression on his face. 0
 
"You and your Wife will be happy too," the Fellow Villager encouraged. 0
 
"Yes, we will definitely be happy," Zhao Guangcai replied firmly. 0
 
The two chatted for a while longer until the ox cart came to a stop. 0
 
"We've arrived," the Fellow Villager reminded them. 0
 
"Wife, wake up, we're home," Zhao Guangcai called softly. 0
 
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded drowsily before sitting up straight. 0
 
"We're in the village now," Zhao Guangcai said gently. 0
 
"Oh," Zhang Xiaoxiao opened her eyes. 0
 
"Get off the cart quickly," the Fellow Villager urged. 0
 
"Thank you for today, sir," Zhang Xiaoxiao said politely. 0
 
"You're welcome, hurry home now," the Fellow Villager replied cheerfully. 0
 
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded obediently. 0
 
Zhao Guangcai helped Zhang Xiaoxiao down from the ox cart, and the two walked in the direction of their home. 0
