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

Just moments before, Zhao Bin was in a state of panic.

Upon hearing Liu Jia's words, Zhao Bin instantly came to his senses.

At this point, especially with Liu Jia present, it was simply a pipe dream to get Guo Xiaolan to forgive him!

Totally impossible!

He was already inferior to Liu Jia, and Guo Xiaolan had a problem with him, so things were already difficult.

Meanwhile, Liu Jia was fanning the flames from the sidelines.

He couldn't wait for him and Guo Xiaolan to break up!

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Bin stopped talking, but his eyes never left Guo Xiaolan.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say, Zhao Bin. I hope we never see each other again!"

Guo Xiaolan hardened her heart once again, and left immediately after finishing her speech.

Seeing this, Liu Jia hurriedly rushed over.

"Wait a minute, Guo Xiaolan, are you at work today? I'm going to the library, can I borrow some books?"

Guo Xiaolan, who had already made up her mind, stopped in her tracks, completely stunned.

Liu Jia must have been concerned about me to catch up at this time.

But what is this question?

He wants to borrow a book, whether he goes to work or not...

Guo Xiaolan was speechless, and didn't even know how to adjust her mood.

Taking a deep breath, Guo Xiaolan said earnestly, "Yes, I'm on duty today. If you want to borrow books, let's go in together."

"Okay, please."

The two of them chatted back and forth, and ended up walking towards the library together.

Qin Tianming was also stunned.

What's going on here?

Just now, that man kept saying that Liu Jia had taken a liking to Guo Xiaolan.

Yes, that woman's name is Guo Xiaolan.

At this point, Liu Jia should have avoided any appearance of impropriety.

Why did he go in with that woman?

"Guo Xiaolan, Guo Xiaolan... Oh my god! Guo Xiaoyan!"

The name Guo Xiaolan felt familiar. Today, I unconsciously whispered it twice, and suddenly blurted out the name Guo Xiaoyan!

Could it be that Guo Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoyan are related?

Are they sisters?

After the thought flashed through his mind, Qin Tianming gasped.

"Third Brother, wait for me, I'm coming too!"

Qin Tianming shouted at Liu Jia and then quickly ran over.

The lively scene from just moments ago has become incredibly quiet.

The scene, resembling a battlefield, was also completely silent.

Watching Guo Xiaolan's retreating figure, Zhao Bin felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained.

Is that all?

It seems like it's really over.

The gentle and kind Guo Xiaolan of the past is now so heartless towards me.

He said that if he continued to harass her, she would take necessary measures.

Hehehe!

A hint of melancholy flashed in Zhao Bin's eyes.

Seeing Liu Jia and Guo Xiaolan walking together as a couple, Zhao Bin wished he could rush forward right now and strangle Liu Jia to death!

To say that all of this has nothing to do with Liu Jia is simply impossible!

Guo Xiaolan's dramatic change is definitely related to Liu Jia!

The two people clearly distinguished their sword images, as if neither of them truly belonged to the other.

But who knows what really happened behind the scenes?

Zhao Bin took a deep breath and then exhaled angrily.

After all that scheming, Liu Jia still beat him to it!

"I'll swallow this insult for now. Liu Jia, a gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years! We'll see!"

Zhao Bin reached out and touched his face.

Half of his face was already swollen.

It seems like even my alveolar bone is swollen.

That damned Liu Jia, I will never let him get away with this!

……

Liu Jia did not stay in the library for long.

After helping Qin Tianming find good books, Liu Jia offered Guo Xiao a few more words of advice before leaving.

Qin Tianming was still full of questions about what had just happened.

But since Liu Jia didn't speak, Qin Tianming was too embarrassed to ask.

Throughout the journey, Qin Tianming kept glancing in Liu Jia's direction.

"Stop looking, or you'll become cross-eyed."

Liu Jia stared intently, then said something as if nothing had happened.

Qin Tianming looked embarrassed.

Since Liu Jia has already started, I might as well just say what I have to say.

Liu Jia kept it all bottled up inside, and he couldn't sense anything amiss. But if this continued, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"Third Brother, I don't like to pry into other people's business, but the things that just happened are a complete mess to me."

"What's your relationship with that librarian? Do you really like her?"

"I think that girl is alright, but she's not as pretty as my sister-in-law."

"If you're really determined to be with her, think things through. I don't think that guy was a good person either. Don't let him hold a grudge."

Qin Tianming said whatever was on his mind, and only after he finished speaking did he start to look at the expression on Liu Jia's face.

If Liu Jia hadn't been constantly controlling her emotions, she really wanted to reach out and flick Qin Tianming on the head.

Is this guy's brain filled with mush?

Guo Xiaoyan and Guo Xiaolan look so alike, even a fool could tell they are sisters. How could I possibly have divorced my sister and fallen in love with my older sister?

What utter nonsense! How could he even come up with something like that!

And that well-intentioned advice, what does that even mean!

Liu Jia stopped walking when he heard Qin Tianming fall silent.

"Finished?"

"That's it."

"Okay, then listen to me."

Liu Jia coughed heavily, then recounted in detail the relationship between Guo Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoyan, and how he met Guo Xiaolan.

When Qin Tianming heard Liu Jia talk about saving Guo Xiaolan, his jaw almost dropped to the ground!

Not only that.

Qin Tianming was still imagining scene after scene in his mind.

A classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress!

Isn't this something that's often shown in open-air cinemas?

No wonder Guo Xiaoyan's sister was so grateful to her third brother; it turns out there was such a thing between the two of them!

Surprised.

Qin Tianming also figured out the relationship between Guo Xiaolan and Liu Jia.

Qin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the person had been talking nonsense.

"It seems I was overthinking it. But to be honest, Third Brother, you really do act like girls like that, that's for sure."

Stop flattering me, I'm perfectly sober right now.

"I'm not exaggerating, your name has spread all over our village, and quite a few girls have come to my house specifically to ask about you!"

As Qin Tianming's words became increasingly esoteric, Liu Jia simply stopped him from continuing.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Look carefully at these books I picked out for you today, and don't damage them. It seems you'll have to return them to the library later!"

"Okay, I will definitely study hard!"

After saying that, Qin Tianming laughed at himself.

What you just said sounds like a primary school student making a promise to their teacher.

……

Cao Xiangyang returned home disappointed once again.

Although he was mentally prepared, Cao Xiangyang still frowned deeply when he saw the empty intersection and the deserted alley.

That damned old man, he must have run away!

Or maybe they feel they've received too much money and are hiding!

"Don't let me see you, or I'll kill you!"

Cao Xiangyang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Xiangyang, Xiangyang, is that you? Wait for me!"

Unable to see the old man, Cao Xiangyang was seething with anger when he suddenly heard someone call his name. He turned around abruptly, his face contorted with rage.

"Who?"

"It really is you, Cao Xiangyang! Long time no see! Where have you been making your fortune lately?"

Cao Xiangyang narrowed his eyes to slits, staring intently at the person running towards him.

Before Cao Xiangyang could speak, the man grinned and smiled.

"What, you don't recognize me after all this time? You really have a bad memory. I am Zhang Qianjin!"

Zhang Qianjin strode towards Cao Xiangyang, shouting his name and then patting his chest.

"We've been through thick and thin together, you haven't really forgotten me, have you?"

Upon seeing the face in front of him clearly, Cao Xiangyang's expression softened considerably.

"Qianjin, how could I not remember you? But you've gotten so fat lately, I really didn't expect you to gain so much weight. Haven't been swimming lately, have you?"

Zhang Qianjin shook his head like a rattle drum, and then unconsciously touched his cheek.

"You've really gained weight? I've been exercising all along, running in the park every day, but it seems like the results aren't very noticeable!"

"It's not very noticeable; it doesn't seem to lose weight as quickly as swimming."

"I have to say, since I stopped swimming, I feel that my appetite has improved a lot."

The two of them had endless things to talk about as soon as they met.

Cao Xiangyang smiled, and Zhang Qianjin, once he started talking, couldn't stop.

Upon seeing Zhang Qianjin in front of him, Cao Xiangyang's thoughts were also drawn to another track.

To be honest, I wasn't very familiar with Zhang Qianjin before that incident.

It was because of an accident while swimming that he learned the person in front of him was named Zhang Qianjin.

He also knew that without Zhang Qianjin, he might have already drowned.

Cao Xiangyang remembers that there were six or seven people who went swimming together at that time.

I know how to swim and consider myself a pretty good swimmer.

At that time, Zhang Qianjin was not outstanding, and I didn't have much of an impression of him.

Cao Xiangyang only wanted to swim for a while and then leave; he didn't think much about it at the time.

However, not long after leaving everyone, Cao Xiangyang suddenly felt something was wrong!

My legs suddenly became incredibly stiff!

I got a cramp!

After the threat to his consciousness, Cao Xiangyang instinctively tried to take a deep breath and float to the surface, but his legs hurt terribly, and his body involuntarily curled up.

At that time, Cao Xiangyang was filled with remorse.

We all came together, so we should swim together. Why do you have to eat alone?

His legs became increasingly stiff, and Cao Xiangyang grew more and more anxious, thrashing about in the water.

Having lived for over twenty years, this was the first time Cao Xiangyang had felt such fear of water.

That feeling was indescribable; Cao Xiangyang just wanted to escape.

Or rather, Cao Xiangyang just wanted to survive.

Unfortunately, the group of people in the distance were still having fun and seemed oblivious to what was happening to Cao Xiangyang.

"what!"

Finally, Cao Xiangyang shouted with all his might.

In a daze, Cao Xiangyang seemed to see someone turn around, but soon their heads turned away again.

Cao Xiangyang was utterly desperate.

Until a voice came from beside my ear.

"What's wrong? Speak up!"

These were the last words Cao Xiangyang heard. By the time he regained consciousness, he was already on the shore.

It was at that time that Cao Xiangyang learned that someone had saved him, and the person who saved him was named Zhang Xianjin.

The grace of saving life is greater than heaven.

After learning about this, Cao Zhongsheng took Zhao Caizhi to Zhang Xianjin's house.

After that incident, Cao Xiangyang never dared to go swimming again, and over time he lost contact with his former swimming partners.

Hearing Zhang Xianjin call his name, Cao Xiangyang was quite surprised.

But when they started chatting, the two of them could still find common ground.

Zhang Xianjin was also filled with curiosity about this unexpected encounter.

“Cao Xiangyang, I thought you looked like me from afar, so I ran over here.”

"I've seen you wandering around here for ages, waiting for someone?"

Cao Xiangyang looked dejected. "Yes, I need to find someone."

"Who is it?"

"An old man!"
