She Is From The Countryside

612 side story 1: the outing and shi yan resolving the knot in their hearts

A few days after the engagement party, Shi boyu organized an outing as promised.

the location was set at a newly developed park on the outskirts of jingdu. because it was a newly developed park, there were usually not many people in it. there were only a little more people on weekends.

they didn’t choose to go during the weekend, so the park was unusually quiet.

there were about seven cars and more than twenty people.

the weather was good. they chose a lawn that tourists would usually choose for an outing and began to lay out the carpet.

it was an outing, and the main purpose was to have fun. the food they brought didn’t need to be processed, and they were mostly snacks.

After setting up the place, the place quickly heated up. the boys were playing cards and drinking while the girls were eating snacks and chatting. however, the girls soon started playing cards under jiang rui’s organization.

after a few rounds, the boys and girls got together to play.

shi yan had joined in the fun from the start and naturally didn’t leave. after the boys and girls gathered together, she automatically sat beside jiang che.

...

when playing games, shi yan would occasionally lose, but she didn’t drink alcohol. she only drank fruit juice.

Jiang che had drunk some wine, but she still had to drive home, so she didn’t drink.

She was not the only girl who had a driving license and did not drink. they were all acquaintances and rational people, so no one would force people who were unwilling to drink to drink.

the atmosphere was joyous and harmonious.

after playing for almost an hour, some people left the game and took a break. shi yan and song yu were among them.

Song Yu walked over when he saw Shi Yan sitting under a tree to cool down.

“please have a seat,” shi yan said with a smile as she approached.

Song Yu sat down on the blanket she was sitting on.

Looking at the group of people who were still playing not far away, Song Yu said, ” “every time we meet, there are many people around us. i’ve never had the chance to have a good chat with you.”

“yes.” shi yan also followed her line of sight.

Song Yu retracted his gaze and looked at her. He smiled and said, ” ” i’ve been meaning to ask you this for a long time. during the six years in middle school, i followed you to wu county to keep an eye on you without your permission. do you blame me for that? ”

...

“I don’t blame you,” Shi Yan shook her head and smiled.

“i know your intentions. since you have good intentions, i naturally won’t blame you.”

“actually, i’m not entirely kind to you.”

“At least not in the beginning,” Song Yu chuckled. At that time, I was too young and didn’t understand many things. I believed that you were right when you decided on something. I thought you were being unreasonable and causing trouble for your brother, so I had a lot of opinions about you.”

“when i was very young, my parents went out on a mission and sacrificed themselves. my grandmother saw her son off and lived in pain all day. she also passed away when i was five years old. But my grandfather also died when I was ten years old on a mission.”

” in the two years after my grandfather passed away, i’ve seen all kinds of human nature. it was your big brother who saved me from the abyss of suffering. ”

“Your big brother said that he knew my grandfather and that he was indebted to my grandfather for helping me. i only know that your big brother appeared in front of me like a life-saving straw, and i only want to repay his kindness.”

” at first, i didn’t know how to repay you. your big brother didn’t seem to lack anything. it was only when i accidentally heard that you had left home that your big brother blamed himself. ”

“Later, I learned that you went to Wu County, where my maternal grandfather’s family happened to be. I thought that I’ve learned some self-defense skills from my grandfather since I was a child. Compared to other girls my age, I’m considered to have some skills. I can stay by your side and secretly protect you so that your big brother won’t be so worried about you. So, I proposed to your big brother that I want to go to Wu County to seek refuge with my grandmother.”

at this point, song yu turned to shi poran, who was still playing cards with the others, and smiled. ever since my mother passed away, our family and my maternal grandfather’s family no longer have any contact. Your eldest brother is such a smart person, how could he believe my story that was full of mistakes? ”

“He knows that I’m going to look for you.”

...

Shi Yan didn’t interrupt her from the beginning to the end and listened quietly to her.

” but he couldn’t change my mind. plus, i said that i had some skills and could protect you if i stayed by your side. besides, we’re the same age, so we could keep each other company. ”

“I don’t know what I said that moved your big brother, but he agreed to my proposal.”

“It’s also fortunate that he agreed, allowing me to be able to accompany my maternal grandmother for a few years.”

song yu looked at shi yan and chuckled.”actually, my grandmother loved me, but my mother’s death was a huge blow to her. she resented my father, so she cut off contact with our family. after my grandfather passed away, my grandmother also wanted to look for me, but she was just an uncultured old lady from the countryside and didn’t know where to find me. my uncle and aunt didn’t allow her to look for me, so she ran ran.”

” you don’t know, but when i found my maternal grandmother’s house by myself, my maternal grandmother cried so hard that she almost fainted. ” Song Yu said in a self-deprecating tone.

“i was thinking of bringing her back to the capital to enjoy life after i got into university, yingluo.”

Song Yu looked up at the sky.

Shi Yan saw the tears in her eyes.

“Aiya, don’t look at me like that. My grandmother has passed away for almost three years. I’m not sad anymore. I’m telling you this just to tell you that although I went to Wu County for you at the beginning, my staying in Wu County later has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to feel burdened by me going to Wu County.”

besides, I said I was going to Wu County to protect you, but I didn’t help you at all. You don’t need my protection at all.

...

“also, i didn’t like you in the beginning, but after we got to know each other, i only have good feelings for you. This isn’t because of your brother’s filter. I’m completely convinced by your personal charm.”

shi yan laughed.

“Alright, that’s all I want to say. in short, those six years weren’t all for you, so you don’t have to feel burdened, and don’t feel like you owe me or anything. but i know what kind of person you are. you won’t say it, but you’ll always remember this.”

er, Zhenzhen, if you really want to remember, then put all the blame on your big brother. Your big brother really loves you. Even now, he still feels that he didn’t protect you and deeply blames himself.

“You three siblings, Ningning your third brother, you and your eldest brother all have the character of not speaking much. They hide everything in their hearts and do not speak. If possible, you should come back to the Shi family more often in the future, or call and send a message to your brother occasionally. If you need help, you can take the initiative to find him. In fact, as long as you take the initiative to think of him and don’t treat him like an outsider, your big brother will be very happy.”

song yu patted the corner of his clothes and stood up, smiling. ” “no matter what, i’m your future sister-in-law. you have to be more careful. there are some things that you don’t want to say, so i’ll have to say it. ”

“Thank you for your trouble,” Shi Yan said with a faint smile.

this was a tacit agreement with song yu’s claim that she was their future sister-in-law.

song yu laughed happily.

She stole a glance at the crowd, put her hand to her mouth, and whispered to Shi Yan, ” “Actually, your big brother hasn’t agreed to my request yet. I’m still in the midst of pursuing him. This future sister-in-law of yours was self-proclaimed by me. Don’t tell anyone about this.”

“It’s only a matter of time,” Shi Yan said.

...

shi yan’s status in the shi family was obvious. she was also a very clear-minded person, so her words were highly credible.

Therefore, Song Yu’s eyes lit up when she heard her words. “Really?”

“Yes, really.” Shi Yan smiled and nodded.

“hehe, then i’ll count on your blessings!”

Song Yu waved his hand delightedly and bounced towards Shi poran, continuing to sit beside him.

song yu had just left when jiang che came over.

“miss shi.”

“Jiang che, come over and sit.” Shi Yan patted the seat beside her.

Jiang che sat down.

“you look like you’re in a good mood. did something good happen?” he asked with a gentle smile.

“I’ve indeed encountered something good.”

...

His big brother had met someone who was dedicated to him, and this person was not only dedicated to his big brother, but also capable and easy to get along with.

With a good matriarch, the Shi family could live in peace for another few decades.

shi yan leaned her head on jiang che’s shoulder and said, jiang che, i’m actually very lucky. i suddenly feel that what happened in the past isn’t that important. people should look forward and i don’t have to keep harping on the past.”

as the person closest to her, jiang che knew better than anyone whether she had truly let go.

Holding her hand and gently pinching her fingertips, Jiang che lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. “It’s good that you can think this way.”

As expected, the best way to resolve the knot in one’s heart was not to escape, but to face the root of the knot.

“There’s still a long way to go, and I’ll always be by your side. i actually hope that i’m the only one in your heart and that all your emotions will be affected by me alone. other people don’t have any weight in your heart.”

shi yan looked up at him.

jiang che’s lips curved into a faint smile and he lowered his head to kiss her again.

This time, he kissed her between her eyebrows.

“but i can’t bear to, miss shi. You’re not my possession, you’re an independent person. In your life, other than me, you still have family and friends. even if you don’t want to, i hope you can pay some attention to them.”

“not for them, but for you. i only care about you. i don’t care about anyone else.”

shi yan smiled and kissed the corner of his lips.”i know,”

She actually wanted to say,”teacher Jiang, you’re such a double standard. I allow you to do it for me but I don’t allow you to do it for me.”

but she didn’t say it in the end.

The Jiang family’s situation was different from the Shi family’s. Jiang Che’s family was also different from her family. If he really said that, he would undoubtedly be poking at Jiang Che’s wound.

Jiang Che’s parents weren’t like his parents, and Jiang che couldn’t treat the younger generation of the Jiang family as his real family. Since that was the case, she would be his family. when she gave birth to two more children for him in the future, he would have a new family.

if no one loved him, she would love him.

In the future, she would bring their child to love him together.

However, her silence did not mean that Jiang che could not guess what she was thinking.

his heart softened, and he asked her with a smile in his eyes, ” “Yanyan, do you have anywhere you want to go next? We’re going on a trip.”

“i’m fine with anything. you can arrange it.” Shi Yan blinked and looked at him with a smile. you know, as long as you’re by my side, it doesn’t matter where I am.

Jiang che was taken aback, then chuckled. ” miss shi, you’re still poking at my heart as usual. ”
