Chapter 336: Chapter 334 Are you Stupid_1

At the foot of the mountain.

After asking several villagers, Wu Wenwen finally found Xu Zhigang’s home in a secluded spot.

When she arrived, Xu Zhigang was standing in the dirty little courtyard, organizing his fishing nets and dumping all the fish and shrimp out of them.

Seeing so many fish and shrimp, Xu Zhigang couldn’t help but smile and squint his eyes. He had inquired before and knew that Xia Ningxing really liked to eat prawns. He planned to deliver all these prawns to her later.

Just as Xu Zhigang was thinking this, a disgruntled female voice suddenly came from the courtyard—

"Xu Zhigang!"

"Who’s calling me?" He asked, Xu Zhigang put down the fishing net in his hands and turned to look behind him. Seeing it was Wu Wenwen, he looked at her somewhat puzzled, "May I ask, Comrade Wu, do you have something to tell me?"

"Of course, I do, and it’s about Xia Ningxing!" Wu Wenwen said as she strutted in, her lips curling into a smile.

As soon as he heard it was about Xia Ningxing, Xu Zhigang’s dark eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly invited her to sit in the house and added tea and water for her.

Then, with both anticipation and caution, he asked, "Comrade Wu, does Comrade Xia have something she wants you to pass on to me?"

"Yes!" After taking a sip of tea, Wu Wenwen got straight to the point, "Xia Ningxing told me to tell you that she really likes you and hopes you can date her. What do you think, do you agree?"

At these words, Xu Zhingang’s eyes widened incredulously as he stared motionlessly at Wu Wenwen, his mouth agape in shock as if he could fit a whole egg inside.

Comrade Xia actually liked him as well!

And she even wanted to date him!

This information exploded in his mind like fireworks, and Xu Zhigang’s heart began to thump wildly, "thud thud," like thunder.

My goodness!

He’d never been so excited and thrilled in his entire life!

"I agree! Of course, I agree!" He was almost jumping with joy.

But Xu Zhigang was not a fool. After calming down, he couldn’t help but doubt her words, "Comrade Wu, are you really telling the truth or is this a joke?"

"It’s the truth! Why would I lie to you?" Wu Wenwen frowned slightly, seeing that he was not easily fooled.

Xu Zhigang still felt that something was amiss. After frowning his thick eyebrows, he couldn’t resist asking her, "But I never felt that Comrade Xia had any affection for me."

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Xu Zhigang had to accept this fact.

So, how come all of a sudden, Xia Ningxing would send Wu Wenwen to say this to him?

"You really don’t understand, do you? As the saying goes, ’a woman’s heart is as deep as the ocean’s needles, unfathomable.’ How could you rough men easily discover it?" Wu Wenwen had planned everything the night before, and all her lines were ready. She fabricated the explanation on the fly, looking very serious.

"That’s true..." Hearing this, Xu Zhigang’s suspicions eased considerably, but in the end, he was still somewhat skeptical, "Then why didn’t Comrade Xia tell me herself, instead of sending you?"

His dark eyes fixed on her intently, trying to detect any sign of lying.

"Are you dumb?" Wu Wenwen acted coy and natural, showing no signs of lying. She rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "We girls have such thin skins. If a guy doesn’t take the initiative to confess, how can a girl have the courage to say it first?"

"But since Xia Ningxing saw that you were hesitating to confess, she got anxious, afraid that such a good young man like you would be snatched away by someone else, so she had no choice but to thicken her skin and ask me to play the role of the matchmaker!"

Wu Wenwen spoke with deep emotion and convincing acting, anyone who didn’t know better might actually believe that was the case.

Xu Zhigang, being the earnest young man he was, stood no chance against her, and he completely bought it: "So that’s how it is."

He revealed a naive smile, scratching his head, feeling as though at that moment he himself was floating on air.

The person he liked also liked him!

How wonderful!

Seeing that he finally believed her, the corners of Wu Wenwen’s mouth instantly curled up in a triumphant arc, and then she went on, "Seeing you two finally become a couple makes me so happy, so, tonight at eight o’clock, wait for Xia Ningxing in the bamboo house at the base of the mountain. I’ll bring her to you, and remember to take the initiative in confessing your feelings to Xia Ningxing!"

"Okay, okay, I’ll remember, I’ll remember. I’m going to go take a bath, change my clothes, and get ready!" Xu Zhigang was so excited he almost became a fool, happily running towards the outside. As he passed the threshold, he tripped but got up laughing as if he couldn’t feel the pain at all.

Wu Wenwen looked at his retreating figure, her once amiable face turned cold in the blink of an eye, her gaze as venomous as a snake’s.

Having taken care of Xu Zhigang’s side of things, her next target was Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing was no fool, so deceiving her would be a bit more challenging.

But Wu Wenwen had been prepared for a while now, she touched the envelope in her pocket, and upon returning to the mountain, she went straight to the dormitory and placed the letter on the table where it was easily noticeable.

Wu Wenwen was not stupid; she would certainly not hand the letter to Xia Ningxing personally, that would be far too suspicious.

In the evening, when Ruan Ruanruan came back to the dorm, she was the first to notice the letter on the table.

"Whose letter is this? When did the postman come?" Ruan Ruanruan asked as she picked it up.

"The postman came a while ago when you all were out, and I had him leave it inside the room. It seems to belong to Xia Ningxing." Wu Wenwen explained lazily.

She tried hard to maintain the same expression and tone as usual, so as not to let Xia Ningxing or Ruan Ruanruan sense something was amiss.

"Is that so?" Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but blink her eyes suspiciously, but her mind wasn’t the type to dwell much on things; she excitedly handed the letter to Xia Ningxing: "Xiaxia, this must be from your sweetheart. Do you want to open it now and see?"

As she spoke, her face was full of eagerness, as if the letter was for her from her own sweetheart.

Xia Ningxing patted her head helplessly and nodded, opening the letter: "Let’s open it and have a look."

She too was very eager to see the contents of the letter!

Wu Wenwen let out a sigh of relief at that moment; she had been worried that Xia Ningxing wouldn’t immediately open it and was thinking of what to say to urge her, but there was no need as Xia was as eager as could be, saving Wu Wenwen the trouble.

As Xia Ningxing opened the letter, Tao Ruanru eagerly stood on tiptoes, extremely curious: "Xiaxia, what did your sweetheart write to you?"

During the conversation, Ruan Ruanruan had already seen the contents of the letter and then her eyes brightened, whispering excitedly in her ear: "Wow! Xiaxia! Your sweetheart has come! He’s arranged to meet you at eight o’clock!"

Ruan Ruanruan didn’t harbor a single doubt, she was almost screaming with excitement!

Xiaxia’s sweetheart had come all this way just to see her; oh, what a romantic set-up!
