Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

"If you're cold, hide behind your second brother. He'll shield you from the wind." Jiang Jun knew his younger sister was delicate and loved to look pretty, so she must be very cold right now.

"Okay." It was indeed very cold, and Jiang Lan shrank her neck, hiding behind her second brother. Today, she specially wore the wool coat that her second aunt had bought for her, all for the sake of looking beautiful.

It looks nice, but it's too cold.

She'd been getting up late lately and had forgotten that the temperature difference between morning and noon was significant.

"Just a little longer, we'll be there soon." Jiang Jun sped up again.

"Ah."

Upon hearing that they would be arriving soon, Jiang Lan turned her gaze away and stopped paying attention to Zhou Lingling and the others.

At the educated youth compound, Bai Xiuwen's face looked extremely unpleasant. The unpleasant smell from the gloves kept wafting into his nostrils, giving him a headache. Even so, he couldn't bear to take them off.

His parents were just ordinary workers. He had an older brother who was valued by his parents and a younger brother who was good at talking. He was stuck in the middle and his parents didn't even notice him.

He wasn't supposed to go to the countryside this time; all he needed to do was have his father retire early and give him his job. His mother's job had already been given to his eldest brother the year before last.

But his parents were worried that his younger brother wouldn't be able to find a job, so they secretly registered him for a rural assignment.

He was only given twenty yuan before leaving.

He had already spent all that money, so where would he find the money to buy frostbite cream and gloves?

If someone hadn't once said that girls like guys who like to exercise, he wouldn't be willing to get up early every day to exercise. Wouldn't it be better to sleep in a little longer?

But when he thought of the girls' admiring glances, he felt it was all worth it.

When Jiang Lan and her companion arrived in town, it was still dark, and a truck was parked next to the state-run restaurant.

As soon as the two men reached the truck, a cold voice came from the driver's seat, "Second brother, put the bicycle in the backyard, we're leaving now."

"Okay! Ziheng, wait a minute, I'll go buy some steamed buns to eat on the way." Jiang Jun couldn't bear to see his sister go to the county town hungry.

"Second brother, no need, I bought steamed buns and fried dough sticks." Ruan Ziheng's handsome face peeked out from the driver's side window, and he was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Lan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun said nothing more, and got into the truck with his sister. The cab in front of the truck was large enough to comfortably seat three people.

After the two sat down, Ruan Ziheng handed them a bag of food.

Jiang Jun didn't stand on ceremony and took the buns directly. He gave one to his sister, then handed one to Ziheng, before it was his turn. He took a bite, and a third of the bun was in his mouth.

"Same old rule as always, you drive there, and I'll drive back."

“Okay.” Ruan Ziheng ate in small bites, a stark contrast to Jiang Jun’s eating habits.

One wolfed down his food, while the other ate slowly and deliberately.

These two people, however, became friends.

Jiang Lan lowered her head and slowly ate the steamed bun in her hand. The occasional glances from the side made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Those scenes flashed through her mind like a movie.

Because of her second brother, she was also very familiar with Ruan Ziheng. When they were little, she would call him "Brother Ziheng" all the time.

But as time went by and everyone grew up, the original owner seemed to have forgotten everything from her childhood, and became distant from Ruan Ziheng. Every time they met, she would just say hello and leave in a hurry, no longer clinging to him like she did when she was a child.

Ruan Ziheng was somewhat saddened by this, but he respected her choice and stopped trying to get closer to her.

A few months ago, Ruan Ziheng had to frequently visit the Jiang family to see Jiang Jun because of some matters. The original owner thought that Ruan Ziheng was deliberately using excuses to get close to her, and even went to warn Ruan Ziheng.

"Ruan Ziheng, give up! I will never like you."

"Ruan Ziheng, you are not allowed to come to my house under the pretext of looking for my second brother again."

"I want to marry into a city and enjoy a comfortable life. I don't want to spend my whole life toiling in the countryside."

“I like knowledgeable people like Bai Zhiqing, you are not my ideal partner.”

This was the first time Jiang Lan and Ruan Ziheng had met since the original owner warned Ruan Ziheng. Jiang Lan was extremely embarrassed. If she had known that she would be going to the county town with Ruan Ziheng, she would not have come.

However, she was certain that Ruan Ziheng's feelings for the original owner were definitely not romantic love, but rather more like brotherly and sisterly love.

Because when the original owner warned Ruan Ziheng, Ruan Ziheng looked completely bewildered, which didn't seem like he was faking it.

After Jiang Lan finished eating a steamed bun, she closed her eyes and chatted with Ping An.

How embarrassing! Although I didn't say those words, I am now Jiang Lan of the Jiang family, and every time I see Ruan Ziheng, those words come to mind.

[Host, calm down. There's a saying online: as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!]

Um... I'll try my best!

The careless Jiang Jun failed to notice the tense atmosphere between his sister and his friend Ruan Ziheng, assuming that his sister was just tired from waking up too early.

"Ziheng, did you tell Aunt Ruan that we definitely won't be back early today? Don't let them worry," Jiang Jun asked.

Ruan Ziheng nodded, "Don't worry! Second brother, I told you this a long time ago."

He just didn't expect Xiao Lan to come. He probably didn't tell Xiao Lan that he was going to the county town with him, otherwise Xiao Lan definitely wouldn't have come.
