Jian Mingyue Falls into the Water
“Host.”
System 001 suddenly spoke, startling Jiang Taohua so much she nearly jumped up from the ground.
“Host, there is a Love at First Sight Talisman. Does the Host want it?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Jiang Taohua nodded repeatedly—only a fool would refuse.
“System, what does the Love at First Sight Talisman do? Does it make two people fall in love at first sight?”
“Host, after applying this talisman, whatever is seen first will be loved at first sight.”
Jiang Taohua’s eyes shifted thoughtfully. “So, whether it’s a man, a woman, or even an animal, the first thing seen will be loved at first sight?”
“Yes, Host.”
Jiang Taohua was already secretly scheming about who to use the Love at First Sight Talisman on.
…
Bai Jinchuan and Fat Girl were locked in a stalemate. He intended to close the door, but Fat Girl pushed against it with her hand, refusing to let it shut. The two had been deadlocked for quite some time.
To be honest, all that flesh of hers wasn’t for nothing—she was quite strong, able to match a man’s strength.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Taohua emerged from the corner of the wall with Wen Shunu.
When Bai Jinchuan saw her, his eyes lit up as if he had spotted a savior.
“Sister Taohua, save me!”
Fat Girl took one look and recognized the person who had ruined her plans last time.
“You again? I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business!”
Jiang Taohua stood there calmly and composed. “What a coincidence—I happen to love meddling in other people’s business. Haven’t you heard that a forced melon isn’t sweet?”
Fat Girl looked completely indifferent. “I don’t care if it’s sweet or not—as long as it fills my stomach.”
Jiang Taohua raised her hand and gave a light push, effortlessly shoving Fat Girl aside.
Fat Girl couldn’t help but look at Jiang Taohua seriously. “Interesting. You actually dare to lay hands on me.”
Fat Girl was known for her immense strength in the brigade—many men couldn’t match her, which only made her more brazen.
Today, meeting her match only fueled her fighting spirit.
She looked at Jiang Taohua provocatively. “How about we have an arm-wrestling match? If you win, I’ll leave. If you lose, he’s mine.”
Fat Girl pointed at Bai Jinchuan.
Jiang Taohua nodded. “Sure.”
Challenging her to a test of strength? How overconfident!
The two walked into the courtyard of the educated youth point and sat down at the dining table. Fat Girl eagerly placed her hand on the table, raising an eyebrow at Jiang Taohua.
“Come on! You’re not scared, are you?”
Jiang Taohua didn’t say a word, resting her arm on the table.
The other educated youths gathered around. Both Jiang Taohua and Fat Girl were formidable women, and they were curious to see which of the two was stronger.
Fat Girl took a moment to wink flirtatiously at Bai Jinchuan. Today, she would showcase her feminine prowess and let this man witness just how impressive she was.
Bai Jinchuan nearly vomited at her greasy gaze, standing firmly behind Jiang Taohua.
“Sister Taohua, take her down! I’m rooting for you!”
Everyone held their breath, ready to watch the two clash.
Before they could even see clearly, Fat Girl’s arm was already pinned to the side. In just one second, Fat Girl had lost.
She looked utterly unconvinced.
“No, again! I wasn’t ready just now.”
Jiang Taohua stared coldly at her. “Fine. I’ll make you lose with your heart convinced.”
The moment their hands clasped, Fat Girl couldn’t even resist before her arm was pinned to the side again.
Her face turned a mix of green and red, a truly spectacular sight.
Fat Girl hadn’t expected this new educated youth, who looked slender and delicate, to be even stronger than her.
“Convinced?”
Fat Girl’s voice boomed like a bell: “I accept it. I admit defeat.”
After saying that, she gave Bai Jinchuan one last reluctant glance before turning and walking away.
The atmosphere squad couldn’t wait to start celebrating.
Bai Jinchuan: “Sister Taohua, you’re mighty and strong.”
Wen Shunu: “Hehe, our Taohua is the best.”
Only Jian Mingyue muttered to herself on the side.
[Fat Girl is such a useless thing. Didn’t they say she was strong? How could she not even beat Jiang Taohua?]
[Should I try to win over the male lead? We could team up against Jiang Taohua.]
Shen Zhou, whose name was mentioned, glanced away. This woman was more trouble than she was worth, and he wanted nothing to do with her.
[Right, if I remember correctly, this afternoon, the production team leader will have everyone go fishing in the river. Maybe I can take the chance to push Jiang Taohua into the river. It’s cold now, and the water is freezing. She’ll definitely cry from the cold.]
She looked up and realized everyone was staring at her with exasperated expressions.
Jian Mingyue touched her face in confusion. Was there something dirty on it? Why were they all looking at her?
Wen Shunu, furious, wanted to step forward and confront Jian Mingyue. This woman was too wicked—she even wanted to push Taohua into the river. How could she be so malicious?
Jiang Taohua pulled her back. She had her own plans for this matter.
Yan Jinghong and Bai Jinchuan made up their minds to secretly protect Jiang Taohua later.
Jian Mingyue’s idea, however, played right into Shen Zhou’s hands. If he could get rid of Jiang Taohua without dirtying his own hands, why not? He’d be more than happy to add fuel to the fire at the critical moment.
…
Things turned out almost exactly as Jian Mingyue had said. In the afternoon, the production team leader brought an enormous fishing net and announced that they would catch fish from the river to distribute among the commune members and educated youth.
Everyone cheered with excitement, as if it were New Year’s.
They hardly ever got to eat meat all year, so having fish today felt like winning the lottery. Smiles spread across their faces.
The production team leader led the commune members and educated youth to the riverbank. After assigning tasks, he gathered a few experienced elders and began casting the net.
Jian Mingyue stuck close to Jiang Taohua, searching for any opportunity to strike.
To accommodate her, Jiang Taohua deliberately moved closer to the river’s edge.
Jian Mingyue was overjoyed—this was a heaven-sent opportunity.
She raised her leg, ready to kick the person into the river.
“Mmph… Help!!”
Instead of the icy, bone-chilling cold Jiang Taohua had expected, the scent of pine and cypress enveloped her, mingling with her own breath.
Jiang Taohua opened her eyes and found herself nestled in Yan Jinghong’s embrace.
Jian Mingyue, caught off guard, tumbled into the water, splashing wildly as she struggled desperately.
“Gulp, gulp.”
She opened her mouth to call for help, but the icy river water flowed down her throat and into her stomach. She looked utterly disheveled, feeling as though she were about to die.
Bai Jinchuan stared in disbelief.
Was this really the same Yan-ge who never bothered with other people’s business?
Just as Jian Mingyue was about to kick someone, Yan-ge had pulled Sister Taohua into his arms and then kicked Jian Mingyue into the river.
Once you’ve seen the ocean, nothing else compares. Those two definitely have something going on.
Tsk, there’s something fishy here! Their relationship is absolutely not ordinary!
