Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Guo Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.

Before even looking up, he quickly added, "It's nothing, I was just in a rush. I'm so sorry..."

Guo Xiaoyan suddenly froze halfway through her sentence!

Looking at Guo Xiaoyan in front of him, Liu Jia's face was also filled with disbelief!

"Guo Xiaoyan, are you alright?"

Compared to before, Liu Jia's tone of voice has changed a lot now.

Once she recovered, Guo Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Liu Jia and instinctively pouted.

Originally, those few polite words were already on the tip of her tongue, but the moment she saw Liu Jia, Guo Xiaoyan immediately changed her mind.

I don't know why, but that inexplicable anger inside me started to surge out again.

"Liu Jia, how could you be so reckless? Don't you watch where you're going? You almost knocked me flying! How could you do this?"

Liu Jia's eyes widened.

"I?"

"Guo Xiaoyan, look carefully! I was just standing by the roadside when you suddenly rushed at me!"

Even if I'm watching where I'm going, I can't stop you from crashing into me!

Seeing that Guo Xiaoyan was being unreasonable, Liu Jia's words became equally harsh.

However, considering that the other party was a girl, Liu Jia frowned and suppressed his anger.

Upon noticing that Guo Xiaoyan's eyes were red, Liu Jia suddenly realized something was wrong.

Liu Jia could no longer describe the emotions he felt towards the girl in front of him.

Love? Family? Friendship?

Or perhaps...ruthless?

Many emotions were intertwined, and Liu Jia couldn't explain them clearly.

However, seeing Guo Xiaoyan's condition, Liu Jia still instinctively asked a question.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you!"

Thinking of Liu Jia's identity, Guo Xiaoyan became even more annoyed.

Previously, Liu Jia was also Professor Guo Zhiyuan's son-in-law!

Thinking about it this way, the disgusting scene from earlier flashed through Guo Xiaoyan's mind again.

Not understanding what Liu Jia was asking, Guo Xiaoyan had already started walking towards the crossroads.

Liu Jia, however, showed no intention of asking any questions.

Since they've already said it has nothing to do with me, why should I make a fool of myself?

It's best if it's okay.

To avoid causing trouble for both of us.

After putting his library card in his pocket, Liu Jia rode his bicycle to the library.

But after pedaling for only a few rotations, Liu Jia saw Guo Xiaoyan again.

Surpassed?

Or should we slowly follow behind?

No matter which option he chose, Liu Jia felt something was off.

It would seem rather unreasonable to suddenly overtake Guo Xiaoyan.

After all, they weren't strangers, and even though they were divorced, they didn't have such deep-seated grudges.

But if you just follow behind, it seems a bit inappropriate.

People are walking, and you're following behind on your bicycle.

No matter who it is, they would feel uncomfortable looking at it.

As Liu Jia hesitated, Guo Xiaoyan suddenly stopped and looked sharply behind her.

"squeak!"

Liu Jia squeezed the brakes with both hands, and the car stopped immediately.

"Why are you following me?"

Guo Xiaoyan's eyes were filled with vigilance.

As Guo Xiaoyan was walking down the street, she instinctively felt that someone was following her. To her surprise, when she turned around, there really was someone there.

It's still Liu Jia!

But Liu Jia was utterly wronged at that moment.

Follow her?

Who has that kind of free time?

Liu Jia coughed awkwardly and then spoke solemnly.

"Guo Xiaoyan, I think you've got it wrong. I wasn't following you. This is the only way to the library."

Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoyan's brows furrowed into a knot.

How did you know I was going to the library?

Liu Jia's head buzzed for a moment.

It was like being struck by lightning!

Feeling surprised, Liu Jia blurted out a sentence almost without thinking.

"Guo Xiaoyan, are you crazy? How was I supposed to know you were going to the library? I went to the library to borrow books, how is that something I can't explain to you? It's not like I followed you around!"

After being thoroughly scolded, Guo Xiaoyan immediately calmed down.

Liu Jia is going to the library to borrow books.

This road is the only way to get to the library.

Therefore, he wasn't following me, nor did he know that I was also going to the library.

So all those previous inquiries came together by sheer coincidence.

Guo Xiaoyan stood there, stunned, staring straight at Liu Jia.

Liu Jia, on the contrary, felt embarrassed by the stares.

"What are you doing, staring at me like that? I'm about to ride past you. Look carefully, you'll be following me, not the other way around!"

As he spoke, Liu Jia was about to pedal his bicycle.

Guo Xiaoyan snorted coldly, "Who's following you? Don't think too highly of yourself!"

"Hey, so what if I think so highly of myself? What I think is my business, and nobody can control that, including you!"

Remembering Guo Xiaoyan's previous attitude towards him, Liu Jia retaliated appropriately.

After saying those words, I finally got my revenge.

If I'm not mistaken, Guo Xiaoyan would probably stomp her feet and say, "Liu Jia, how could you do this?"

And the facts were just as Liu Jia had imagined.

Guo Xiaoyan first stomped her foot, then looked at Liu Jia pitifully.

"Liu Jia, how could you do this!"

Liu Jia burst out laughing.

My anger from before has completely dissipated.

"You're still laughing? Why are you all like this!"

Guo Xiaoyan felt wronged, but she didn't know how to vent her feelings.

So the more I thought about it, the more wronged I felt.

Despite trying hard to hold it in, tears still streamed down my face once again.

"Hey, you're crying now? I didn't do anything to you. Wipe your tears quickly, or people will think I bullied you."

Guo Xiaoyan sniffed hard, then started talking like a machine gun.

"You're bullying me! I shouldn't have gone out today, I shouldn't have gone to the supply and marketing cooperative, then I wouldn't have run into that swindler, and I wouldn't have run into you!"

"I can't believe there are still such shameless swindlers in this day and age. They're so disgusting!"

"And you, you can't stand it if I don't say a few words to me or take advantage of me every time we meet, can you?"

Liu Jia was completely bewildered by what Guo Xiaoyan said, utterly confused.

After filtering through these words, Liu Jia only got two pieces of information: one was that Guo Xiaoyan had encountered a swindler, and the other was that Guo Xiaoyan had encountered him.

But it's a bit inappropriate for this girl to describe meeting a scammer and meeting herself so smoothly, isn't it?

After calming down, Liu Jia's voice became serious.

"Guo Xiaoyan, have you been scammed? Scammed out of your money? Or..."

Liu Jia paused deliberately halfway through his sentence.

Guo Xiaoyan suddenly turned her head to look at Liu Jia.

"What are you thinking? Stop with your filthy thoughts. Forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway. I'm going to find my sister. You can go now!"

"Looking for your sister? You're going to the library too? How about I give you and your family a ride? We're going the same way anyway."

Liu Jia looked in the opposite direction, then looked ahead.

The library is a short walk ahead, while the Guo family's house is in the opposite direction.

So it's obvious without guessing that Guo Xiaoyan went to the library to find Guo Xiaolan.

Guo Xiaoyan frowned. She wanted to refuse, but then she thought that this way she could find Guo Xiaolan in the shortest amount of time and find out what was going on. So, she bit her lip and agreed.

"Okay, then stop crying and sit down. I'll take you to find your sister."

While Liu Jia was speaking, Guo Xiaoyan was already sitting in the back seat of the car.

After confirming that Guo Xiaoyan was ready, Liu Jia started riding his bicycle forward.

Behind.

Guo Xiaoyan was filled with mixed emotions. She gripped the back seat tightly with one hand, as if afraid that a bump in the front would throw her off.

Liu Jia never expected that after working with Guo Xiaoyan for a while, he would actually be able to take her to find Guo Xiaolan.

Sigh, what kind of mess is this?

But thinking about it, it's not that strange.

Since I met Guo Xiaoyan, this kind of thing has happened quite often.

People say that if there was no entanglement in a past life, then you will not meet in this life.

If that's the case, then he and Guo Xiaoyan probably had some kind of entanglement from a past life.

Since there was still some time before they reached the library, Liu Jia decided to ask about what had just happened.

"Guo Xiaoyan, are you alright?"

"fine."

"That's good!"

Upon hearing Guo Xiaoyan say that everything was alright, Liu Jia uttered three words and then fell silent.

Guo Xiaoyan was waiting for Liu Jia to continue asking questions, but unexpectedly, Liu Jia remained silent.

This guy is real.

Couldn't you have asked a couple more questions?

So annoying!

Guo Xiaoyan was also conflicted.

On the one hand, he wanted Liu Jia to ask more questions so that he could tell him what was going on.

On the other hand, upon hearing Liu Jia ask, she would instinctively refuse.

As for what kind of emotion this is, Guo Xiaoyan herself can't explain it.

Finally, Guo Xiaoyan sighed helplessly.

It must be because I relied on Liu Jia too much in the past, to the point that I can't forget the feeling of being cherished by Liu Jia.

What kind of feeling is that?

You don't need to worry about what the other person is thinking or what the environment is like. If you're unhappy, you can show it on your face.

Even so, the other person will still try to make you happy with a smile and hope you'll be cheerful.

A bitter smile appeared on Guo Xiaoyan's lips. It turned out that she had lived such a... happy life before.

In the past, if Liu Jia had encountered such a situation, he probably would have rushed over and fought that person without even thinking.

He would absolutely not allow anyone to make him suffer such injustice.

Guo Xiaoyan felt a warmth in her heart.

That feeling of being protected is indeed very endearing.

But realizing that things were completely different now, he frowned again.

"arrive."

As he spoke, Liu Jia stopped his bicycle.

It was only then that Guo Xiaoyan realized they had arrived at the library.

I need to see my sister as soon as possible.

We absolutely must find out what's going on!

Guo Xiaoyan jumped out of the car and headed straight for the library.

Liu Jia locked the car while muttering to himself.

"You're heartless. I've led you this far, and you just ran off without saying a word."

After locking the car, Liu Jia followed.

……

"Hello, comrade, this is your library card. Please keep it safe."

With a smile, Guo Xiaolan handed the library card to a customer with both hands.

It's called a library card, but it's really just a slip of paper.

Back then, library cards were just that rudimentary.

The man put away the so-called library card, said thank you, and turned to leave.

Seeing someone come in, Guo Xiaolan was about to speak when she suddenly changed her mind and said, "Yan'er, what brings you here?"

Guo Xiaoyan wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Sister, is Zhao Bin your only boyfriend?"

Guo Xiaolan was stunned.

Zhao Bin?

An object?

"What do you mean, Yan'er? What's wrong?"

Faced with Guo Xiaoyan's confused questions, Guo Xiaolan was completely bewildered.

At this moment, Liu Jia walked in.

Seeing Liu Jia and Guo Xiaoyan arrive one after the other, Guo Xiaolan became even more puzzled.

Guo Xiaoyan didn't care about anything else and blurted out a sentence on the spot.

"Some people say he's the Guo family's son-in-law, which is smearing my father's reputation!"
