Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

Mei Xiangcao went into the house to get a flashlight and gave it to Jiang Ye: "Shine it on Nuannuan."

Xu Nuannuan and Jiang Ye went out together. It was pitch black outside. Jiang Ye turned on the flashlight, shone a bright circle of light on the ground, pointed it at the direction where Xu Nuannuan walked, and disappeared into the darkness.

Xu Nuannuan laughed and said, "You only light the way for me, how can you see clearly?"

His eyes fell on the circle of light below her, so he moved towards her and moved the circle of light of the flashlight forward so that the road in front of them could be illuminated.

Jiang Ye had a psychological struggle when he came over just now. He was thinking, if he blocked him and came over, would Xu Nuannuan subconsciously move away from him and continue to keep a distance from him.

If she stays away from him, it either means that she really has someone else as her partner, or it simply means that she doesn't like him and doesn't want him to get too close.

However, the fact is that she did not stay away from him, so the previous two assumptions are not true.

"Comrade Jiang Ye, why didn't you go to your cousin's house for a drink today? According to your cousin's family, Zhang Xiaogang actually wanted your cousin to treat you two. Why didn't you go?"

"I, I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go."

"Are you feeling unwell? Where do you feel unwell?" Xu Nuannuan stopped and said, "If you had told me just now, I would have taken a look. It's okay, you can take a look now."

"I'm fine now. I don't feel uncomfortable anymore." Jiang Ye said with a smile. He thought about it and decided to ask Xu Nuannuan about the identity of the man at the post office door today. If it was confirmed that the man and Xu Nuannuan were not in the relationship he thought, he felt that he could speak out his heart.

"Xu Zhiqing, I want to ask."

He had just uttered these words when he suddenly noticed a figure sneaking around the well.

"There's someone over there."

Xu Nuannuan also saw it, "There is someone, let's go and take a look."

There are two wells in the village, which supply drinking water to all villagers and play a vital role in the entire village.

They were all quite fast and rushed to the well, where they found Zhao Pandi standing by the well.

Xu Nuannuan grabbed her and said, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Pandi was caught, but she didn't seem nervous at all and just wiped away a few tears.

"Meng Anbei has been captured, Dabao is missing, we've all been evacuated, and everyone in the village is against me. I can't live anymore. I want to die, let me die."

Xu Nuannuan did not persuade her, but let her go.

"So you're someone who wants to commit suicide to save food for the country and the collective. Go ahead and die. But if you jump into the well, you'll pollute the water. There are a thousand ways to die. I think you can hang yourself at home, hit your head against the wall, or drink poison to death. Just don't pollute the water everyone drinks."

Zhao Pandi snorted coldly, "What are you talking about? It was you who reported our Meng An, otherwise he wouldn't have been arrested. I don't want to live anymore anyway, so why not avenge Meng An before I die? Bitch, I'm going to strangle you to death."

As she spoke, she reached out to pinch Xu Nuannuan's neck. Before her hand touched Xu Nuannuan, Jiang Ye kicked him away without Xu Nuannuan having to make a move.

She fell to the ground unwillingly and rushed towards Xu Nuannuan again. This time, as expected, she was kicked out again, and she screamed in pain.

"Murder, murder, someone is going to kill someone."

Perhaps her shouting was too loud and woke up some of the members around her, so someone came out to check what was going on and saw that the person shouting was Zhao Pandi.

Zhao Pandi told the man that Jiang Ye and Ye Nuannuan had hit her. The man shook his arm and said, "Well done, well done! The people of the Shen family have done so many evil things, they deserve to be beaten."

Zhao Pandi glared at the man in the dark, feeling extremely hateful.

You are all bad people, go to hell.

Later, someone else came out of her house and said the same thing to her. Since no one helped her, she quickly got up from the ground and went home in shame.

Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan walked for a while. Xu Nuannuan remembered what Jiang Ye wanted to say to her just now, but after what happened just now, there was no follow-up.

She didn't ask any questions, but waited for him to speak.

When they were about to reach the educated youth station, they came to a relatively open area. Jiang Ye stopped again and called her, "Xu Zhiqing."

"Hmm?" Xu Nuannuan also stopped.

In the darkness, they stared at each other. Jiang Ye mustered up his courage and asked Xu Nuannuan, "Xu Zhiqing, I actually want to ask you a personal question. Do you have a partner now?"

Xu Nuannuan suddenly smiled: "I just told you a few days ago that there wasn't one. It won't be available so soon."

"That's great." That Fang Wenji wasn't like that at all. He finally felt relieved and continued, "Xu Zhiqing, I know you're a smart girl. When a man asks you about this, you should know what he's thinking."

Xu Nuannuan didn't say anything and continued to listen to him, but she found that her heartbeat had quickened.

In this life, it was the first time I heard the gay man I liked confess his love to me. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.

Jiang Ye continued, "Xu Zhiqing, I know we haven't known each other for long, and you probably don't have a deep understanding of me. However, I've always thought you're great. From the first time I saw you, I was attracted to you. You're the first girl I've ever liked... It might be too early to say these words now, but I'm afraid if I don't say them, I won't have the chance to say them later."

Xu Zhiqing, I have been holding this sentence in my heart for several days. I also wanted to wait until we had spent more time together and you understood me thoroughly before I said it, but I found that I couldn't wait any longer.

Xu Zhiqing, you might not be able to accept me telling you I want to date you right now. So, if you think I'm good and you want to date someone in the future, could you please consider me first? Or, if you find someone you like, tell me directly so I can give up. Or, if you simply don't like me, why not reject me now..."

The voice of the last sentence became very low.

There was a brief silence afterwards.

Only then did Xu Nuannuan realize that Jiang Ye had already had feelings for her the first time he saw her. Could she then assume that he was attracted to her because of her beauty?

Well, actually, she was also infatuated with him the first time she saw him. Since everyone had some thoughts when they met each other for the first time, she just thought that they fell in love at first sight.

In addition, they were all members of the "five black categories", so even if he knew her true identity, neither of them would look down on the other, and there would be no obstacles even if they had gotten married seven or eight years ago.

Although, it was a bit early for her to consider getting married now, and although, she had no intention of telling him her true identity yet.

It wouldn't be too late for her to tell him when the time was ripe and their relationship was closer.

Neither of them spoke for a while, they pursed their lips and looked at each other quietly in the darkness.

Jiang Ye clenched his palms tightly, so nervous that his palms were sweating and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, for fear of hearing Xu Nuannuan's rejection.

Finally, Xu Nuannuan nodded.

"Comrade Jiang Ye, I actually have a good feeling about you too. Why don't we try to see everything."

She had no intention of dating. She came here to protect and take care of her parents and had never thought about anything else.

But plans always fail to keep up with changes. In her past and present lives, Jiang Ye is the gay man who makes her feel the best. She has never been in love in her past life, but she can make up for it in this life.

"Really, you want to date me?"

He seemed to be dreaming. It turned out that the girl he liked also liked him.

Xu Nuannuan: "You heard me right, I'm willing to date you. We can give it a try. Dating doesn't mean we're getting married."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Ye was so happy that he couldn't control himself. The little girl gave him this opportunity and was willing to be his partner, which made him feel like he didn't know where to put his limbs.

But he suddenly thought of a problem. He couldn't tell her his real occupation yet, nor could he confess everything to her. He slapped his forehead in frustration.

"What's wrong?" Xu Nuannuan asked him.

He quickly calmed down and asked Xu Nuannuan, "Since we're going to be together and will most likely get married in the future, I want to ask you if you would mind if your significant other did a very dangerous job where they could lose their life at any time."

Xu Nuannuan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

What dangerous job will Jiang Ye do in the future?

"Comrade Jiang Ye, do you have any plans for the future?"

"No, I think a lot of external things are constantly changing, and no one can guarantee that they will never have to do dangerous work. I'm assuming that one day I have to do a very dangerous job. Would you agree?"

Suddenly I felt a little regretful about my confession today. If I really sacrificed myself and disappeared one day in the future, it would leave worries and burdens in the little girl's heart, and I would become a burden to her in vain.

People like him should probably be alone for life, and try not to have so many emotional ties. Once he sacrifices himself, there will be one less person to feel sad for him.

But then, Xu Nuannuan gave him an answer.

"Comrade Jiang Ye, I don't know what kind of dangerous work you are talking about, but one thing is for sure, as long as you don't do anything illegal or endanger the interests of the country or others, I can accept it.

There are many industries in this world, and every industry needs people to do it to ensure the normal operation of the entire society. So, as long as you are doing formal and legal work, I will not stop you.

But you also need to know that I don't stop you from doing dangerous work, not because I don't care about you, so don't overthink it."

"Thank you, thank you for your understanding."

He excitedly wanted to hold the little girl's hand, but thinking about their current relationship, he was afraid it was too early, so he had to pull his hand back.

Of course, if she wanted to tease him, he could let her do it anytime.

"Nuannuan." Jiang Ye immediately changed the way he addressed Xu Nuannuan and called out this name directly. He felt so happy, "Since we've started dating, I can call you that."

"Of course you can. I won't call you Comrade Jiang Ye anymore. I'll call you A Ye."

"Yeah, it sounds nice, I like it."

Their conversation then became more relaxed and enjoyable. Jiang Ye asked Xu Nuannuan, "Do you have any requirements for me? What can I do and what can't I do?"

"Just because I tell you, you'll listen to me?" Xu Nuannuan didn't expect that he wanted to be controlled by her now.

"Maybe I can't completely meet your requirements, but just tell me, and I'll do my best to do what I can."

Xu Nuannuan smiled and said, "I don't have any requirements for you for now. Just be yourself. However, that doesn't mean I won't have any requirements in the future. I will slowly think about how to ask of you in the future."

"Okay. By the way, do you mind if I let other people know that we're dating?"

"I don't mind. If you allow me, I want the whole village, even people from other villages, to know about it, so that no one will bother me again."

"Huh? You're not dating me just to avoid those harassers, are you?"

"No, no, of course not, Comrade Jiang Ye, you have to have confidence in yourself. Isn't there anything about you that I like?"

Jiang Ye subconsciously touched his face. He knew Xu Nuannuan liked to see his face.

Xu Nuannuan smiled and said, "Aye, you have many advantages. I agreed to be your partner, so you should be confident in yourself. But, what do you like about me?"

"I like everything about you."

"This answer is too general. It makes me feel that you are just trying to brush me off. Please be more specific."

"I really like everything about it." Jiang Ye felt that he had been very honest. He stood in front of Xu Nuannuan, as obedient as a student facing his teacher.

Xu Nuannuan changed her tone of questioning: "So what do you like most about me?"

"I like it either way."

"You haven't fully understood me yet. Maybe you only see my strengths. If you knew my weaknesses and some of my bad habits in the future, you wouldn't say that."

"I still say that. Nuannuan, I've never liked anyone before. I think if you like someone, you should like both their strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps, what you see as a weakness isn't really a weakness after all."

"Comrade Jiang Ye, you are very good at sweet talk. You are trying to coax me."

Jiang Ye was suddenly stunned, then turned serious: "Nuannuan, everything I said is true. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning."

Xu Nuannuan: “…”

She has already determined that Jiang Ye is probably the legendary love-brained person. Any advantages and disadvantages of the person he likes can become his liking point. It is such a brainless and unconditional love. Although it is brainless, she likes it very much.

What girl doesn't want her partner to love her unconditionally? Even if it was just sweet talk, she heard it so beautifully from Jiang Ye's mouth, without any boredom or disgust.
