Alaska Gold Rush Diary

Chapter 48 The Strange Edward

It would be self-deception not to be attracted to Zhang Jianing, who has a flawless figure and appearance and a very generous personality.

Zhou Xin is now focused on making money, but being away from home, he still has longing and desire for love.

As a stunningly beautiful mixed-race woman who always stands out in a crowd, Zhang Jianing, despite growing up in China,

However, she did not develop the sense of superiority that many girls in China who are called "little fairies" have.

She was always very polite to everyone, and she treated everyone with the same politeness.

Back when she was in China, her outstanding mixed-race looks naturally attracted countless suitors.

But whether she was facing a handsome and wealthy second-generation rich kid or a boy with an ordinary background and appearance, she politely rejected him regardless of the situation.

I won't look up to anyone, nor will I look down on anyone.

Unlike some girls who think, "He's so good to me, I'm such an angel," when a guy tries to please them.

She won't act like some easily manipulated girls who say things like, "He's so good to me, he's such an angel."

She doesn't act aloof or pretentious, nor does she try to please everyone.

But she wasn't aloof or unapproachable; on the contrary, she was usually very approachable.

Zhou Xin was initially attracted to her unique temperament and boldly confessed his feelings, which, while not resulting in a complete breakdown, was still a major blow to him.

They thought they would never cross paths again, but by a twist of fate they became teammates who spent every day together.

This stirred a ripple in his heart, which was completely consumed by making money.

The key point is that this beautiful girl did not hinder his gold mining business; on the contrary, she helped him solve problems several times.

Therefore, he wouldn't object to taking their relationship to the next level.

Zhou Xin then gestured for her to hurry up and blow-dry her hair, while he went to prepare dinner.

To win her heart, first win her stomach.

For dinner tonight, he made braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork, and smashed cucumber.

Edward ate the other two dishes with great relish, except for the smashed cucumber which had chili peppers and he couldn't eat them.

The sweet and sour pork, in particular, perfectly suited Americans' sweet tooth, and he ate it with great relish.

Although he had eaten this dish at a Chinese restaurant before, Zhou Xin's version was clearly more authentic.

Zhang Jianing also ate to her heart's content, as every dish perfectly satisfied her Chinese palate.

"Zhou Xin, if this keeps up, I'm afraid I'll gain weight."

She couldn't help but put another piece of tender, boneless pork rib into her mouth, saying with some distress.

"Don't worry, mining for gold is physically demanding, but you won't feel it when you're focused and engrossed. You'll only become healthier."

Edward, his mouth full of food, mumbled words of comfort.

Zhou Xin nodded in agreement: "I've been eating about a third more here than before, but I think I've also lost weight during this time."

Zhang Jianing was slightly relieved, but then worried, "You've spoiled me here. What am I going to do when we get back to Miami?"

Before Zhou Xin could speak, Edward chuckled, "That's easy! You become his girlfriend, and when we get back, you can live together. Then you can eat his cooking every day!"

Great assist!

Zhou Xin suddenly found Edward much more pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Jianing blushed and said shyly, "You... what nonsense are you talking about?"

After saying that, he quickly lowered his head to eat, but couldn't help but secretly look up at Zhou Xin.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make three dishes with the millennium egg tomorrow!" Zhou Xin laughed.

"No!" Edward shook his head repeatedly.

Zhang Jianing lowered her head, feeling a little disappointed...

In the days that followed, the three of them divided their tasks clearly and devoted themselves to the gold mining work, and their harvest steadily increased.

More than a week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the total amount of gold they have harvested has reached 98.7 ounces, almost breaking the 100-ounce mark.

That evening, after dinner, the three of them were chatting and enjoying the cool air under the stars when Zhang Jianing suddenly received a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, she told Zhou Xin some good news.

With the help of her friend, she finally made contact with the mine owner of the Chinese gold mining factory, who agreed to let them visit the next morning.

"You are truly amazing!" Zhou Xin exclaimed in Chinese.

Zhang Jianing smiled slightly: "No way! It's just the nature of my job."

In popular tourist destinations like Australia, where our company has a significant long-term business presence, it's essential to develop a strong network of contacts and resources.

Zhou Xin nodded: "Besides Alaska and here, I might go to other countries to look for gold mining opportunities in the future. You'll have to continue to help me then."

These words came from the bottom of his heart. After witnessing Zhang Jianing's network of connections, he was even more grateful that he had approached her earlier.

"No problem, if you have the chance, you should take me with you!" Zhang Jianing smiled slightly.

Edward, who was listening to them babbling incomprehensibly in Chinese, suddenly interrupted them by howling like Logan.

Then, he looked at the two people who had come over and said a popular Chinese phrase he had learned online: "I feel like you two are flirting in front of me, but I have no proof."

Zhang Jianing's cheeks flushed red, but fortunately, it wasn't noticeable in the darkness.

"Edward, if you had a girlfriend, I'd definitely have her teach you a lesson!" she pouted, feigning anger.

Upon hearing her words, Edward suddenly shuddered, as if he had been electrocuted.

He suddenly fell silent, and an extremely complex expression appeared on his face, which was hidden in the darkness.

Seeing his strange expression, Zhang Jianing panicked and quickly said:

"I'm sorry, Edward. Did I say something that hurt you? Please forgive me. I didn't mean to."

Zhou Xin was also very strange; it seemed that mentioning his girlfriend caused him a great deal of distress.

Was he dumped or betrayed by his girlfriend?

Edward remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a deep voice, "It's nothing."

But his voice was noticeably hoarse, clearly indicating that he was in a state of great excitement.

Zhang Jianing looked at Zhou Xin with a bewildered and pleading expression.

Zhou Xin nodded in understanding, indicating that she shouldn't worry about it.

"It's getting late, everyone should get some rest. We have work to do tomorrow!"

Upon hearing his words, Edward got up and walked silently toward his tent.

"It's okay, it's not that you said anything wrong, he probably just remembered something unpleasant."

He knew that Edward was hiding a secret, but he didn't know what it was.

Everyone has secrets they don't want others to know; there's no need to pry.

Edward is very good at regulating his emotions, and Zhou Xin is certain that he will recover by tomorrow morning.
