Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Liu Bao'er glared at the villain in front of her, so angry that she wanted to curse him out.

But remembering the purpose of my visit, I held back.

At noon, I overheard the villagers gossiping that Lin An'an had apparently moved into the Gu family home and was living with Gu Qingsong.

Yesterday, Gu Qingsong unusually took leave, and despite being given a hard time by the village chief and the brigade leader, he insisted on not going to work.

Someone saw Lin An'an delivering lunch to Gu Qingsong again at noon today.

Liu Bao'er simply couldn't believe it; how could the villain be with another woman?

Even if she hadn't read the original novel, based on her years of experience reading novels...

According to the usual tropes, the villainous second male lead who secretly loves the female lead should silently dedicate himself to her for over a decade.

He should have lived a lonely life until his death, and then bequeathed all his wealth to the female lead after his passing. That would have been more fitting.

Why doesn't this villain follow the usual path?

Upon learning this news, Liu Bao'er immediately went to find a fellow educated youth she knew.

Under her persistent questioning, the educated youth figured that since the die was cast and Lin An'an had already married Gu Qingsong, the villagers would find out sooner or later anyway.

So, half-heartedly, he reluctantly told Liu Bao'er the truth.

Liu Bao'er could no longer sit still.

Although she couldn't end up with the villain, Gu Qingsong, the villain, provided a lot of help to the original female protagonist later on.

Without Gu Qingsong's help, how could the story continue?

If the female lead relies solely on herself, her future development, whether in life or career, will not be so smooth.

Liu Bao'er wanted to go directly to the place where Gu Qingsong was working to find him, but the night before last, she and the original male lead Gao Jingxuan went to see a movie in the next brigade and walked too much, so her feet were still very sore.

After thinking it over, he gave up the idea of ​​going halfway up the mountain to find Gu Qingsong and went directly to wait for him outside Gu Qingsong's house.

Anyway, the main villain is definitely head over heels in love with her now, so she's too lazy to go after him.

As long as she appears in front of the main villain, she can say a few kind words to him.

With her protagonist aura, every man in this novel world would fall at her feet if she wanted to, Liu Bao'er thought confidently.

But this confidence was shattered the moment he met Gu Qingsong.

But Liu Bao'er endured it so as not to lose this powerful "loyal admirer".

Her fingers paused for a moment, then she started twisting the braid again, giggling, "You're so annoying, Brother Qingsong, you just know how to tease me!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Qingsong, feigning shyness.

She stamped her foot and said, "I haven't married all these years. Others may not know, but Brother Qingsong, don't you know why?"

Gu Qingsong frowned, feeling that the person in front of him was really pretentious.

Not wanting to beat around the bush, she said directly, "Isn't it because the engagement was broken off? Everyone knows that."

"Break up, break off the engagement?" Liu Bao'er was stunned.

Was the original owner engaged? And then the engagement was broken off?

How come she didn't know? Nobody told her either.

Although she also felt it was a bit strange that she was still unmarried at her age in this rural environment, she was, after all, a person who had traveled from the modern world.

In modern times, a 23-year-old is just graduating from university, and the novel is written by modern people, so it's reasonable to make the female lead a bit older.

Not to mention that her village chief father and brothers doted on her so much that it was normal for them to keep her at home for a few more years, so she didn't think much of it.

Now the villain is saying she got married late because she was jilted?

Liu Bao'er stared at Gu Qingsong, speechless for a moment.
