Chapter 172: Chapter 174: Looking for Brother Ye_1

It turned out that Ye Ge had already confronted the two eldest sons in the Zhou Family on her behalf. He had already avenged her.

At the thought of this, her heart tightened again, almost making it difficult to breathe.

He always did many things silently for her, never boasting about his deeds or telling her without being prompted.

Zhou Dongdong then coldly said, "The rumor about you sleeping with Liu Chang, I spread it. If you wish to seek revenge then come at me, stop bullying my parents. You two have already caused so much shame for them in the village, what else are you trying to achieve?"

Hearing this, Nan Feng suddenly lifted up her head to look at Zhou Dongdong, "So, you’re the one who spread the rumors?"

"So what if I did?" Zhou Dongdong fixed her gaze on Nan Feng.

"Then fine," Nan Feng saw a stick on the ground, picked it up and said, "From now on, our relationship will be like this stick. It’s every man for himself. No more contact."

Nan Feng threw the stick and walked away.

Watching Nan Feng’s determined figure as she walked away, Zhou Dongdong also felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

But she immediately turned around and left.

No contact meant no contact. No entanglements would mean no entanglements. Who cares!

...

Nan Feng couldn’t find Ye Ge, so she could only return home.

Afterwards, her mind was filled with images of Ye Ge — his faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth, his deep and attractive voice, his tall stature, his slightly hunched back, his impressive strength, the way he looked when shooting an arrow, how he effortlessly carried her on his back.

And...when he said, "Nan Feng, I’ll go to your house to propose marriage tomorrow"...

Nan Feng felt as if she was done for.

She was fully immersed in it and couldn’t get out anymore.

Perhaps this was what it felt like to fall in love with someone.

Exactly!

That day, she couldn’t concentrate on any work, she didn’t go hunting in the mountains, and instead chose to carry water buckets to the vegetable field.

Ye Ge wasn’t there.

So then she put down the water buckets and went into the field.

The young rice shoots she planted were growing rapidly. Within just a month, they already reached up to her calves.

All thanks to the Min’an Reservoir.

Nan Feng took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and went into the field to weed. Pulling the weeds, she looked elsewhere.

The vast expanse of the rice field was sparkling green, but it also felt deserted because Ye Ge was not there.

Weeding till dusk, Nan Feng finished weeding all the weeds. She got out from the field, went to the creek to wash her feet.

And finally, she returned home in a daze.

...

The meal was already prepared by Nan Quanyou. Seeing that Nan Feng was eating in distraction, he knew that she was being hurt by village rumors. So he comforted her, "Fengfeng, today while I was resting under the locust tree, many people came to me to talk about your situation. Everyone was dismissing those rumors, saying how could you possibly be with Liu Chang. Those people really need to find something to do."

In fact, Nan Feng had long forgotten about the rumors.

She picked up a handful of vegetables and put it into her bowl, then asked Nan Quanyou, "Dad, has Ye Ge come to propose marriage recently?"

"Propose marriage?" Nan Quanyou responded, "No... However, a few days ago it seemed he wanted to say something to me. I asked him, ’Do you want to talk about proposing marriage? If that’s the case, you can drop it. My Fengfeng isn’t worried about getting married; there’s no need to discuss such matters.’"

..." Nan Feng opened her mouth but found she couldn’t say anything.

"Didn’t you say that day? If Ye Ge proposes, I should help you reject him."

Only then did Nan Feng manage to say, "Yes, you should reject him."

After all, there were still some misunderstandings between them that needed to be clarified face to face.

She didn’t want to get married to Ye Ge under such circumstances.

Both had rejected each other once, it was even now.

Nan Quanyou could see Nan Feng’s dejection, so he put down his chopsticks. "Are you worried that Ye Ge might think you really...you know, with Liu Chang? Are you worried that he might misunderstand, thinking that you are not pure anymore?"

Nan Feng shook her head again.

"Dad, I was just asking casually. Since it’s not the case, just forget it."

Nan Quanyou felt that something felt off about Nan Feng.

...

Nan Feng made up her mind that when she saw Ye Ge again, she would thank him, and also confess her feelings to him.

However, before she could meet Ye Ge, something significant happened late that night: the gate of the Min’an Reservoir collapsed!
