Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 83 Proposal
"Ningning~"

Her face flushed with anger, and her almond-shaped eyes misty with tears, He Yue looked at her with the same aggrieved expression she had shown countless times before.

In the past, whenever she showed such an expression, Ningning would soften her heart and generously give her money, tickets, or beautiful clothes and shoes.

When she was little, she lived a miserable life at home, not eating or dressing well. Even going to school was only arranged after the factory's union leader spoke up, and her parents agreed to send her to school in person but gave her a good beating behind her back.

When did things start to change?

She met Ningning after Xu Zixin was promoted to deputy director of the steel plant.

She knew then that as long as she became Ningning's only friend, not only would her sycophantic parents treat her differently, but she would also go from being invisible to being someone admired by everyone.

Sure enough, after much effort, she finally succeeded.

Not only is life at home much easier now, without having to do so much heavy housework, but the people who used to bully and laugh at her at school will no longer do anything excessive to her.

And she only needed to act pitiful in front of Ningning and shed a tear or two to get anything she wanted: sweet candies and pastries, beautiful clothes, stylish little leather shoes, even pretty and expensive jewelry...

They were such good friends before summer vacation started, and Ningning even promised to give her the bracelet she had always liked as a birthday present!
How come everything suddenly changed after they fell into the water and met again?

“Ningning…”

Not missing her ever-changing gaze, Su Ning looked at that incredibly familiar face and the countless tears that had touched her heart, and a strange feeling welled up inside her.

It is both bitter and astringent.

She once truly regarded the weak, helpless person in front of her who would cry at the slightest thing as her best friend.

Since meeting Luo Shuangshuang, and especially after witnessing Fu Jiaming and Yan Bei's interactions.

She realized that one-sided giving is unequal in any relationship, and even if she didn't foresee that future, the two of them would eventually go their separate ways.

"He Yue, I remember saying that I don't want to see you again."

A sudden tightness gripped her chest. He Yue tried her best to ignore the feeling of losing something extremely important, and stared blankly at her with a pale face.

This time, the large tears that fell were not fake at all; they fell completely uncontrollably.

"Ningning, I don't understand. Are you blaming me for not being there for you immediately after you fell into the water? I explained it to you..."

"He Yue, why are you coming to see me now? I don't need to spell it out, do I?"

Ding~

He Yue almost couldn't maintain her pitiful expression, and she was somewhat afraid to meet those sharp eyes. "I don't understand what you're saying..."

"I don't care how much benefit Xu Zixin gives you or what tasks he assigns you. He Yue, for the sake of our years of friendship, I'm warning you for the last time: stay away from me."

"If you don't want the benefits you've worked so hard to gain to end up being wasted, you should be smarter and think about how to make good use of your strengths."

What can you gain by trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin?
After saying that, Su Ning had no mood to say another word to her, and turned to signal the people who were watching the show to follow.

Luo Shuangshuang nodded knowingly, and turned to step through the door.

Unexpectedly, she turned around and met a dumbfounded person whose face was changing color like a condiment dish, with her red lips slightly parted.

The words that came out were no longer the soft, sweet words she used when speaking to Ning Baogai, but were instead filled with frost.

"He Yue, right? If I were you, I should be holding onto my admission notice right now. School hasn't even started yet, and nothing has been confirmed. Anything could happen."

"you…"

"Oh, don't doubt whether I can do it or not. I don't mind showing you."

Even if it means risking a beating from my parents...

Luo Shuangshuang glanced coldly at her, her aura domineering, "Since Ning Baogai said she never wants to see you again, never appear in front of her again..."

I'll beat you every time I see you.

He finished speaking slowly and deliberately, then slammed the door shut.

……

Standing alone in front of the door, He Yue clenched her fists tightly, her teeth almost grinding to powder.

Where did Luo Shuangshuang come from? What gives her the right to be so unreasonable and arrogant?
Unexpectedly, Su Ning's words when she left came to mind. He Yue took a few deep breaths of fresh air, turned around, and left the courtyard. She needed to think about it carefully.

What exactly is wrong? What went wrong?

"If Uncle Xu knew that he was no longer Ningning's special, only friend..."

She shook her head; He Yue would never let that happen! Years ago she could be unique, and now she could still do it.

Even if they have a temporary conflict due to a misunderstanding, Ningning will not really let go of their relationship after so many years. She knows her!
"Yes, that must be the case."

……

Su Ning was unaware of He Yue's self-comfort and self-encouragement, and even if she knew, she wouldn't have taken it to heart.

Knowing her two choices from the vision of the future, it was destined that their relationship would be shattered, leaving no trace.

"How was Ning Baogai's threat? Wasn't it powerful?"

"I never would have guessed, you're amazing, Grapefruit."

"That is!"

If she had a tail, Luo Shuangshuang would practically fly to the sky. Her brother always uses that look and tone when he's angry, and it's actually quite satisfying and exhilarating!

I glanced at her, wanting to ask her something but afraid of accidentally touching a sore spot.

After hesitating for a while, Luo Shuangshuang shook her head. If Ning Baogai really wanted to say something, he would have done so without being asked. Since he had no intention of bringing it up, it meant he didn't want to say it yet.

Shaking off the surging curiosity, she changed the subject, asking, "So, Ning Baogai, how about coming with me tomorrow?"

"where is it?"

"Luohu Township is about a three-hour drive from here. Let's go there early tomorrow morning, stay overnight, and then come back."

Knowing He Yue's personality—she wouldn't give up easily—and not wanting to waste time and energy on pointless entanglement with her, Su Ning readily agreed this time.

"it is good."

Upon hearing her friend's agreement, Luo Shuangshuang clapped her hands happily.

She wanted to go at the beginning of the month when the holiday started, but her parents and brother were both busy and didn't feel comfortable letting her go alone.

With Ning Baogai on board now, surely we can convince them, right?
"Let me tell you, Ning Baogai, the mountain behind my grandma's house is so much fun! There's a legendary treasure mountain there, and I'll take you there to explore!"

"Oh? What treasure mountain?"

"I heard from the old folks in the village that there is a great treasure in that mountain, a treasure passed down from generation to generation, but no one knows exactly what it is or where it is."

Luo Shuangshuang touched her smooth chin, recalling the old people's mystical and serious demeanor, "I don't think it's a treasure, but it's very likely that the mountain has valuable medicinal herbs like wild ginseng."

Wild ginseng…

Intrigued, Su Ning pulled her to sit down on the straw mat, listening to her ramblings while thinking about the Peach Blossom Spring.

Having had the Peach Blossom Spring for so long, she had only thought about growing grains, fruits, and raising livestock, and had never considered setting aside a piece of land in the mountains specifically for growing medicinal herbs.

Western medicine was scarce and expensive in city hospitals, especially in communes where people often used traditional Chinese medicine to treat illnesses.

She had once thought about where to stock up on medicine, but now it seems she hadn't thought of it at first.

Hoarding is not as good as growing. Given the unique ability of Peach Blossom Spring to grow and raise anything, and the occasional bumper harvest...

Before long, you can harvest a large quantity of medicinal herbs, including precious ones!
In the event of Grandpa Fu's death or any other unexpected situation, these things can be used to save lives.

"Ning Baogai?"

A pair of fair, delicate hands waved in front of her eyes, and Su Ning, regaining her senses, gently waved them away.

"Finally snapped out of it. What were you thinking about? Your eyes lit up when you mentioned wild ginseng. You like that stuff?"

Luo Shuangshuang leaned against her lap like a limp bone, "I have a well-preserved one at home, not a hundred years old, but still sixty or seventy..."

"I want fresh ones, seeds are fine too."

"What, you think planting all this is enough? You want to plant ginseng in this yard too?"

"You didn't misunderstand."

"Hahahaha~"

After laughing heartily, Luo Shuangshuang didn't directly laugh at her unrealistic idea. Instead, she waved her hand confidently, "No problem, I'll pick them for you when we get there tomorrow!"

Judging from their tone, one might think they wanted to pick wild radishes that were everywhere, not the rare wild ginseng.
