Chapter 85: Chapter 84 Same Name as My Dad (Monthly Pass 120+)

Gao Jiazhi was actually not bad, and if Sun Yuhua really ended up with Gao Jiazhi, it should be a good match. Plus, later on, when Xia Xiao was arranging college entrance exam materials, she would definitely take care of her own dormitory mates and the two brothers from the Gao family.

Since Gao Jiazhi was already a high school student, if he reviewed well in the future, he could keep up and possibly get into a good university with Sun Yuhua.

In an instant, Xia Xiao felt good about the match between Gao Jiazhi and Sun Yuhua, although Sun Yuhua’s excessive beauty made Gao Jiazhi seem less remarkable. But Gao Jiazhi was reliable, which was a plus.

After discovering that Sun Yuhua and Gao Jiazhi had interactions, Xia Xiao started to pay attention to Yang Xuehua’s lifelong happiness. In the entire dormitory, she had the best relationship with Yang Xuehua and naturally cared about her more.

And since Yang Xuehua was of the same age as Sun Yuhua, Xia Xiao had no idea who Yang Xuehua would end up with, especially since Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue were already paired up, Yang Xuehua also needed to find someone even better.

On the spot, Xia Xiao reviewed all the people from the Youth Point and didn’t know whether she thought too highly of Yang Xuehua or what, but she felt that none of the eligible men at the Youth Point were a match for her.

This thought made Xia Xiao somewhat ashamed.

One day, Dong Meihua moved closer to Xia Xiao and said, "Xia Xiao, your fellow villager Xu Mei is seeing someone, did you know?"

"With whom?" Xia Xiao asked curiously, not expecting Xu Mei to move so quickly.

"It’s another one of your fellow villagers, the one who came with her, Yao Wangchun."

Yao Wangchun and Xu Mei, Xia Xiao said, "That’s really nice, fellow villagers taking a liking to each other, that’s a good thing."

Dong Meihua said sourly, "How come the educated youth from my hometown are not good-looking? All of them are ugly."

Xia Xiao smiled slightly, feeling that Dong Meihua had something in common with her—they were both obsessed with looks.

"Fang Yuejin and Gu Weiguo aren’t bad, you could consider them." Xia Xiao said. Among the young, single male educated youth, Fang Yuejin and Gu Weiguo had the best looks and presence.

"These two are good, but I think He Xuebing is the most handsome," Dong Meihua said and added, "I don’t know when He Xuebing will be back."

Xia Xiao laughed, "Then you should ask Director Li."

Dong Meihua shook her head, "Director Li wouldn’t talk about these things."

Then Dong Meihua said, "Yuhua has got someone, did you know?"

Xia Xiao shook her head, "I didn’t."

"It’s Gao Jiazhi." Dong Meihua moved her lips, as if she wanted to say that Xia Xiao could become sisters-in-law with Sun Yuhua in the future, but in the end, she didn’t say it out loud.

"It’s just dating." Xia Xiao said.

"Didn’t Yuhua say she wasn’t going to choose someone from the countryside? How come she changed her mind after going back home for the New Year?" Dong Meihua said.

Xia Xiao was curious too, but she didn’t understand Sun Yuhua’s family affairs, so she had no idea.

"What about you? You went home for the New Year, what did your family say?" Xia Xiao asked Dong Meihua.

Dong Meihua shook her head, "I can’t go back to the city, and my family can’t introduce anyone to me. I can’t rely on my family; now that my mom has a little brother, they don’t care about me anymore."

Dong Meihua said, eyeing Xia Xiao enviously, "Not like you, receiving a family letter every month. In the entire Youth Point, you’re the one who’s most cared for, even though you have many brothers and sisters, your family still thinks of you."

"That’s because I often write home, I send a letter to my family once a month, why don’t you do the same? If you don’t get letters from home, you can take the initiative to write to them, send greetings, show some concern—that would be good."

"Postage costs money," Dong Meihua shook her head.

Xia Xiao had nothing more to say. Because she often wrote to her family, even though she didn’t go home for the New Year, she maintained close contact with her family, and she was very satisfied with this arrangement.

One day, while Xia Xiao was working, she ended up in the same group as Gu Weiguo, Yao Wangchun, and Xu Mei—quite a coincidence.

Even though they were all from the same hometown, Gu Weiguo, Yao Wangchun, and Xu Mei were more acquainted with each other and hung out often.

Yet, because of the space issue, Xia Xiao kept to herself except for her dormitory mates, though she often visited the Gao family.

"Meimei, wipe off your sweat."

"Wangchun, come have a drink of water."

...

"Aren’t you two a bit much?" Gu Weiguo was at a loss for words. It’s one thing to date, but it’s quite another to be all lovey-dovey in public.

Xu Mei’s face flushed, and she quickly moved a bit further from Yao Wangchun.

"If you’re bothered by it, you can go find someone," Yao Wangchun retorted thick-skinned and went on to gesture towards Xia Xiao with his chin, hinting to Gu Weiguo.

Gu Weiguo looked at Xia Xiao and noticed she had grown increasingly beautiful, delicate, and vivacious, stirring something within him slightly, but then he thought of his family and slowly shook his head.

"My mom would flip if she knew I was looking here."

As soon as Gu Weiguo had spoken, Yao Wangchun shrugged, "We’ve already moved our household registrations here. No girl from the city would dare marry and come over here."

Gu Weiguo was silent, and Yao Wangchun continued, "Xia Xiao is different, though. She’s from the same city as us and not too far away. We can go back to the city together in the future. If you bring back a girl from the same city, your parents probably won’t have anything to say, but if you bring back a girl from a different place, they definitely wouldn’t be happy."

"Let’s put this matter aside for now; we’re still young, and we shouldn’t think too much about it," Gu Weiguo said.

"I think you have some feelings for Xia Xiao," Yao Wangchun interjected. "She’s close with the Gao family. If you move too slowly, you might miss your chance."

Gu Weiguo glanced at Xia Xiao again, pursed his lips, and was clearly conflicted.

Seeing this, Xu Mei immediately joined the conversation, and after hearing Yao Wangchun, she walked towards Xia Xiao.

Their conversation was overheard by Xia Xiao from Shitou, not because she was eavesdropping, but because Shitou had taken the initiative to tell her.

Gu Weiguo wasn’t bad, but he had an air of nobility around him that suggested he came from a very good family. Such people, such people, Xia Xiao wouldn’t easily provoke.

"Xia Xiao, what do you think about Gu Weiguo?" Xu Mei asked.

"What do you mean, ’what do I think?’" Xia Xiao pretended not to understand.

"Just Gu Weiguo as a person, whether you want to date him or not," Xu Mei inquired.

Xia Xiao thought to herself, maybe all coupled-up people have a matchmaker’s heart, eager to pair up those who are single.

"Gu Weiguo is pretty good, yeah, but he has the same name as my dad, so I don’t feel anything," Xia Xiao said.

Indeed, Gu Weiguo had the same name as Xia Xiao’s biological father, which she had noticed early on.

Xia Xiao’s father was named Xia Weiguo, her mother Li Wenjuan, her oldest brother Xia Rong, her second sister Xia Jing, her third sister Xia Hong, her fourth sister Xia Lin, and her newly born baby brother Xia Hua.

Xu Mei was speechless, "What does that have to do with anything?"

"It doesn’t really, but every time I see him, I think of my dad," said Xia Xiao, quite decisively.

Xu Mei’s mouth twitched, and she walked away.

As soon as Gu Weiguo heard Xia Xiao’s words from Xu Mei, his face fell, while Yao Wangchun looked at him with pity.

"Weiguo, there’s still Sun Yuhua, you know. She’s the great beauty from our Youth Point. If you could marry her, you’d be amazing, and all the men at the production team would definitely be envious," Yao Wangchun said.
