Chapter 269 - 265: Blame Me for Being Too Outstanding
At the brigade gate.
It was packed with people.
Besides the villagers, everyone from the Educated Youth Post had come as well.
Everyone in the crowd walked with a spring in their step, their faces alight with joy.
Even though a wild boar had wrecked the Educated Youth Post, not a single person was unhappy at the prospect of eating meat.
Only Yun Hao remained expressionless, his face a little pale.
It was understandable.
He had nearly been gored to death by the boar, so it was hardly surprising he’d have a reaction to seeing it now.
Behind Yun Hao, Li Hongmei walked timidly.
The last time, in her desperation to escape, she had stepped on Yun Hao, leaving him to face the boar.
Because of that incident, Yun Hao hadn’t spoken a word to her since.
Li Hongmei pursed her lips.
’The situation was so dangerous back then. I had no other choice. How could Yun Hao blame me!’
Besides, she had given Yun Hao a chance.
She asked him to be her boyfriend.
If he had just agreed, she definitely would have escaped with him.
But Yun Hao didn’t agree.
’It was just a moment of panic. Why can’t he forgive me!’
Li Hongmei felt terribly wronged.
She gazed at Yun Hao with her beautiful, sorrowful eyes, wishing she could melt his heart of stone.
Yun Hao: ...
He pressed his lips together, his eyes filled with intense disgust.
’I just don’t understand. Why is this woman following me around like a ghost that won’t leave?’
Back when Gu Jiaojiao used to pester him, he had only been impatient, never disgusted.
But now, with Li Hongmei, a single glance was enough to make him sick.
He wished Li Hongmei would just disappear from his sight.
And that stunt with the boar... if it weren’t for that idiot Li Hongmei, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a pathetic state.
The thought that Gu Jiaojiao had witnessed the entire scene made Yun Hao’s expression darken even more.
Walking beside Yun Hao, Hu Ziqiang was also feeling frustrated about Li Hongmei trailing behind them.
’Why does Li Hongmei keep following me?’
’I guess it’s because she likes me too much.’
’But I already told Li Hongmei I have no intention of getting a girlfriend.’
Sigh!
He could finally understand how Yun Hao must have felt when Gu Jiaojiao was pestering him.
It really wasn’t a pleasant feeling, just frustrating.
’But Li Hongmei isn’t Gu Jiaojiao. If Gu Jiaojiao were chasing me, I’d agree in a heartbeat.’
Dammit!
’How on earth am I supposed to reject a girl who’s so crazy about me!’
With this in mind, Hu Ziqiang couldn’t help but bring it up with Yun Hao.
"Yun Hao," he said, "how do you think we can get Li Hongmei to stop following us?"
He felt Li Hongmei was being far too bold. Did she intend to announce to everyone that she liked him?
And then force him to be her boyfriend?
The more Hu Ziqiang thought about it, the angrier he became.
’How could she do this?’
’So selfish.’
’Does she love me so much that she doesn’t consider my feelings at all?’
’I’m so distressed!’
Yun Hao didn’t even want to hear Li Hongmei’s name right now. He frowned in disgust.
"I don’t know."
’If I knew how to make Li Hongmei leave, she wouldn’t still be pestering me.’
Hu Ziqiang let out a sigh.
"It’s not always good to be too outstanding!"
He ran a hand through his hair. ’It’s because I’m just too exceptional. That’s why Li Hongmei is so in love with me.’
Yun Hao deeply sympathized.
’First, it was Gu Jiaojiao.’
’Now, it’s Li Hongmei.’
’Even the village girls were always giving me gifts. It really was a hassle.’
As the two men talked up ahead, Li Hongmei followed behind, unable to contain her frustration.
’What is wrong with that Hu Ziqiang? I’ve already told him I don’t like him, yet he keeps looking back at me, trying to send me signals!’
’It’s all my fault for being too outstanding. That’s why Hu Ziqiang likes me so much.’
’But I will absolutely never like him.’
’The person I like is Yun Hao.’
’But I can’t just say it outright, or it would ruin their brotherly bond.’
’I never thought I’d like Yun Hao this much—to the point where I’m enduring such hardship for his sake.’
