Chapter 1072: Chapter 1071: Endless Entanglement 1

"Guan Cheng!" Wang Lingzhi stopped and called out to Guan Cheng.

A group of elderly people were busy collecting garlic on the ground and looked up upon hearing her, gazing at the graceful Wang Lingzhi standing under the shade of the trees.

Wang Lingzhi was fair-skinned, bright-eyed, and because she was the only female high school student in the Wanglou Brigade and had been in touch with high school students in the city, she exuded a temperament that set her apart from all the other girls in the brigade.

A well-educated young woman always drew attention, especially one so attractive.

Ever since she had come back to Wanglou Brigade after schools were closed, Wang Lingzhi felt a sense of superiority around the other dust-covered girls, believing that only someone exceptional like Guan Cheng was worthy of her.

"Hey Acheng, there’s a young lady calling you," Jin Ruochu elbowed Guan Cheng, who was right beside him.

As if he hadn’t heard, Guan Cheng just replied to Jin Ruochu, "Teacher, I’m a little confused about the formula you just mentioned. Could we go over it in detail after dinner?"

Jin Ruochu acknowledged with an "okay."

After all, since taking him as a disciple, Guan Cheng would sneak over to their living quarters every evening, not only would Jin himself enlighten him on topics he had not yet encountered, but the other elderly people present would also offer him advice.

Jin Ruochu extremely admired this intelligent, tenacious, and filial student and wished he could impart all his skills to him.

Seeing that Guan Cheng was ignoring her, Wang Lingzhi bit her pink lower lip and called out again.

Seeing that Guan Cheng still paid her no heed, she marched up to him, "Guan Cheng, I have something to tell you. Come with me."

Guan Cheng stopped his work, stood up straight, and said indifferently, "I’m sorry, but there are differences between the sexes. I don’t believe there’s anything we need to discuss. Please step aside and don’t interrupt my work!"

Wang Lingzhi was dumbfounded.

Under the sunlight, beads of sweat trickled down Guan Cheng’s cheeks from his forehead, and his wet hair clung to his forehead and cheeks, glistening in the sun, giving him an astonishingly handsome appearance.

Guan Cheng was the most handsome boy she had ever seen.

Tall and well-proportioned, with broad shoulders and long legs, his eyebrows sharply angling towards his temples, and his deep-set eyes like dark pools, he was refined and elegant, as well as ruggedly handsome.

Lu Tianjun was also very good-looking; everyone said he shouldn’t be Lu Jiang’s nephew but his son, because the uncle and nephew bore such a striking resemblance. However, compared with Guan Cheng, the two had a more imposing figure but less refined demeanor.

They possessed the roughness of soldiers, while Guan Cheng had the gentle grace of a scholar.

Especially when Guan Cheng was dressed neatly in his Zhongshan suit during spring and autumn, he looked just like the second Premier stepping out of a portrait.

His demeanor and poise were so flawless that even in a sweaty work shirt he was pleasing to the eye. Many girls secretly admired him, and for that, Wang Lingzhi had frequently engaged in both open and covert confrontations with the girls of her age in Wanglou Brigade.

Noticing Wang Lingzhi’s gaze, Guan Cheng’s brows furrowed, a feeling of aversion rising within him, and he stepped past her.

Wang Lingzhi reached out to grab his arm, but he dodged swiftly.

"How insolent!" Guan Cheng glanced at her coldly, his voice stern, "Comrade Wang Lingzhi, please show some respect. Again, ’men and women should not touch hands when giving or receiving things!’"

He had intended to make her act respectfully, to prevent gossip, but he feared that if Wang Lingzhi took his words to heart, she might intensify her harassment, deliberately causing misunderstandings and rumors, forcing him into a marriage with her. Thus, he swallowed the rest of his words and left them unsaid.
