Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Lin Xiaoxiao let go of his hand: "It's okay, it was just too sudden of me."

Li Qingyue: "I didn't notice the pit."

Lin Xiaoxiao laughed: "Alright, we're not wrong, it's the fault of that pit."

Li Qingyue also laughed and said, "Yes, the strange road is bad."

The atmosphere between the two was brought much closer by an unintentional hug (which Lin Xiaoxiao may not have done unintentionally).

Upon arriving in the county town, Li Qingyue took Lin Xiaoxiao to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

Li Qingyue: "Take a look and see if there's anything you like?"

Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself: ...This person just came out and is already taking people shopping, and he's quite generous.

Lin Xiaoxiao: "You bought me something the first time we went out?"

Li Qingyue: "Well, I didn't know what you liked, so I just wanted to bring you here to see."

Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself: Even straight men have their ways!

Lin Xiaoxiao: "You help me choose."

Li Qingyue bought some snacks to eat at the movie theater, including candy, soda, peach shortbread, and a box of face cream. Finally, when she saw a fountain pen, she bought one as well.

Seeing that he was carrying so much, Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Isn't this too much?"

This is quite a significant expense. How can this person be so honest?

Li Qingyue: "It's not much, you can eat it later. You can take the pen and face cream back with you."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "It's because you spent so much money."

Li Qingyue smiled and said, "It's nothing. I've never given anything away before. I'm just glad you like it."

Lin Xiaoxiao thanked her, saying, "I like it, thank you."

Li Qingyue: "You're welcome. I'd like to give it to you."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled. The two went to a state-run restaurant for lunch and then went to see a movie in the afternoon.

In the dimly lit movie theater, the two sat very close together, the atmosphere carrying a subtle ambiguity.

Li Qingyue was a little nervous and not really focused on the movie.

He lowered his voice and said, "Would you like something to eat?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Give me a peach shortbread."

Li Qingyue: "Okay, I'll get it for you."

He opened the packaging of the peach shortbread and took one out.

"for you."

Lin Xiaoxiao turned her gaze back to the movie and reached out to take it. The view was not very clear here, and her hand accidentally touched Li Qingyue's hand.

After fumbling around for a while, she finally got the peach shortbread: "Thank you, you can have some too."

"it is good."

Li Qingyue withdrew his hand, rubbed the spot she had touched, and smiled slightly.

He also took out a piece of peach shortbread to eat, and after seeing Lin Xiaoxiao finish the shortbread, he immediately handed her a soft drink.

Li Qingyue didn't see the movie clearly at all; her attention was focused on the people around her.

After the movie ended and people began to leave, Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "Let's go, we should go back too."

Li Qingyue nodded: "There are many people, you follow me."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, tugged at his sleeve, and followed the flow of people out.

When they arrived at Lin Xiaoxiao's house, Li Qingyue looked at her and said, "I have to go to work tomorrow. I'll come see you again when I have some time off."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Li Qingyue's eyes were full of smiles as he handed her the things, saying, "Take these and go inside. I'll leave after you go in."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Take the food back with you for your family."

Li Qingyue: "It's alright, I work in the county town, I can buy these whenever I want, you can take them back."

Seeing his sincerity, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, thank you, I'll go in now."

Li Qingyue nodded: "Okay, bye-bye."

Lin Xiaoxiao turned and went home. Only after she was out of sight did Li Qingyue get on his bike and return to Lijia Village.

When she got home, her parents were there, watching Lin Xiaoxiao come in.

"What are you carrying?" Li Xiuqin asked curiously.

Lin Xiaoxiao told the truth: "Li Qingyue bought it."

Lin Youliang: "You bought me something as soon as I went out?"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes."

Lin Wenyuan stepped forward, asking curiously, "Let me see what's available?"

He opened it and found food and useful items inside.

"This person is quite generous to you, giving you candy, peach shortbread, face cream, and a fountain pen. It must have cost a lot of money."

Li Xiuqin exclaimed in surprise: "What? You bought so many things as soon as we met? This child!"

Lin Youliang: "It seems that their family values ​​Xiaoxiao quite a bit, otherwise they wouldn't be so generous."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuqin nodded: "That's good. If Xiaoxiao really marries someone in the future, she'll be able to live a good life."

Then she asked Lin Xiaoxiao, "How did you feel about your day out?"

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "He seems like a nice person. If there are no problems later, we can try dating."

Li Xiuqin: "As long as you know it, that's fine."

*

After dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao returned to her room.

She opened the cabinet, found the original owner's books, and realized that there were still more than two years until the college entrance examination was reinstated. If nothing unexpected happened, she would probably get married first.

There's no rush for the child. Let him get into university first. I'm only eighteen now, and I'll only be in my early twenties when I graduate. I'll have children later.

"Have you heard? The brigade leader's daughter has gotten together with one of the educated youth!"

"Who did you listen to?"

"We all saw it! The two of them were walking very close, chatting and laughing."

"I heard that the educated youth came from the capital, so his family must be well-off."

"Would the brigade leader agree? These educated youth will definitely have to go back in the future."

"Who knows?"

At noon, Lin Xiaoxiao passed by a big tree and heard several middle-aged women talking about something.

The conversation revolved around the male and female leads; gossip is truly everywhere.

Someone spotted Lin Xiaoxiao: "Hey, isn't that the Lin family's daughter?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and replied, "Hello, aunties, are you chatting here?"

"Yes, we were just having dinner and nothing much was going on, so we chatted."

"Those who graduate from high school are different. Look how polite this girl is."

Lin Xiaoxiao chatted with them for a while, then made an excuse to leave. They were just too enthusiastic for her to handle.

She headed towards Lin Shuxue's house to check on her recent situation.

To get to the brigade leader's house, you have to pass by the educated youth compound. Everyone is there now; they haven't gone to work yet.

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao reached the entrance of the educated youth compound, she saw Lin Shuxue coming out with a handsome male educated youth wearing glasses.

As they were talking, they didn't see Lin Xiaoxiao for a moment.

She waited for a while but still didn't find her. A little helpless, she had no choice but to step forward and become a third wheel, interrupting them: "Shuxue!"

Hearing the voice, Lin Shuxue looked over and saw Lin Xiaoxiao. Her eyes lit up with surprise: "Xiaoxiao, what brings you here? Did you come to see me?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, I'm looking for you."

Lin Shuxue: "Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Han Yi, a former educated youth from the educated youth compound."

Han Yi greeted Lin Xiaoxiao: "Hello."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Hello, my name is Lin Xiaoxiao."

Lin Shuxue said to Han Yi, "This is my good friend."
