The scumbag reborn to choose Bai Yueguang: He regretted it

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many villagers, including Party Secretary Chen, came to Qiao Zhixia's home to pay New Year's greetings.

This is all because of Qiao Zhixia, who helped them make money.

Others hope that their fields can be contracted this year so that they can also earn money.

Qiao Zhixia is currently developing the market for medicinal materials. She believes that this year she will be able to contract out almost the entire village without leaving out any household.

After seeing off the villagers, Yang Shuo came to wish them a happy new year, carrying two boxes of New Year gifts.

When Qiao Xinguo and his wife saw him, they were so happy that they quickly led him in and treated him to good tea and cigarettes.

Qiao Chudong was currently settling some accounts upstairs. Yang Shuo was sitting opposite the couple, feeling a bit awkward meeting their parents.

Li Aizhen noticed his discomfort and said with a smile, "Are you here to look for our Dong'er?"

Yang Shuo was touched in the heart and scratched his head awkwardly, "Aunt, is Chu Dong at home?"

Ever since Qiao Chudong went to the provincial capital, Yang Shuo rarely saw her.

"Haha~ She's here. I'll go get her down for you..."

Qiao Chudong came downstairs soon, and Yang Shuo stood up quickly. He keenly noticed that the look Qiao Chudong gave him was a little strange.

Anyway, it’s not like before.

"Let's go out and talk." Qiao Chudong went straight to the backyard.

Yang Shuo felt vaguely uneasy and hurriedly followed him out.

At this time, three heads, two large and one small, popped out of the window at the back of the second floor, listening silently to the conversation downstairs.

"Chu Dong, did I do something wrong that bothers you? Tell me and I'll change..."

"Yang Shuo, I fell into the reservoir and almost drowned. Who saved me?"

Yang Shuo was silent for a while, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Qiao Chudong said coldly: "If you don't tell the truth, we won't even be friends anymore."

"It's me! I just happened to pass by and rescued you and He Xuyang." Qiao Chudong's attitude of drawing a clear line between him and him made him panic, so he could only answer truthfully.

Although Qiao Chudong had expected this, she still felt inexplicably upset after hearing him admit it himself.

"Then why didn't you tell me at the beginning? Did you want me to mistakenly believe that it was He Xuyang who saved me?"

Yang Shuo lowered his eyes and fell into unhappy memories, his voice low and melancholy:

"My mother was sick and in the hospital when I rescued you, so I was really busy. When I returned to school, everyone was already talking about the story of He Xuyang saving the damsel in distress. I saw that you and He Xuyang liked each other, so I didn't want to be the one to spoil the fun."

The truth behind the rescue is not important, as long as she is fine and is happy with the person she loves.

It's enough for him to be lost alone, why bother dragging others into it?

Qiao Chudong raised her eyes and clearly saw deep sadness and frustration in his eyes.

The snow on the eaves fell to the ground, breaking the silence in the yard.

"Yang Shuo, do you like me?" Qiao Chudong's eyes sparkled.

The melancholy in Yang Shuo's eyes was dispelled by the helplessness of having his thoughts exposed, "I... yes, I like you."

He struggled for a moment and decided to confess.

"Qiao Chudong, I like you. I have liked you since we were in school."

Qiao Chudong was shocked by his frank confession and was at a loss for words. "Then...then why are you saying it now?"

"Because I've been waiting for an opportunity to tell you openly."

Qiao Chudong lowered her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks, "You should have said that when you saved me."

"Rather than tying you down for life with the favor of saving you, I would rather you choose someone you like."

He chose to remain silent back then because he didn't want to burden her. Feelings should not be influenced by favors.

But he didn't know that a big part of the reason why Qiao Chudong chose He Xuyang was because she mistakenly thought he was her savior.

Girls are always easily moved by the heroes who save them.

In addition, He Xuyang was a model student at the time, gentle and polite, and not bad looking, so she chose him later.

Did she have any so-called love for him? She didn't know. It seemed that it was more because of traditional ideas that she had to be faithful to one man.

What about Yang Shuo at that time? As a teenager, he was always unruly, either throwing cockleburs into the braids of his female classmates or hiding their homework.

He does everything except not paying attention in class.

As the class monitor, she really annoys him.

He is hopeless scum.

But every time she took an exam, she found that he would write a few numbers on his desk. At first she didn't understand what they meant, until his papers were handed out, she realized that the numbers were his test scores.

Although he failed every time with numbers, she was surprised by his ability to control the scores accurately.

Later, during a midterm exam, she got ahead of him, left a few numbers on his desk, and hinted for him to give it a try.

Yang Shuo just smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Two days later, when the papers were handed out, his scores in each subject exactly matched the scores she had left on his desk.

It was at that moment that she realized that he was not as hopeless as he seemed.

On the contrary, he is a master of controlling grades who can be unfocused on his studies without affecting his main job.

Compared to top students like her and He Xuyang who only study hard to get to the top, Yang Shuo is a true genius.

From then on, she always paid attention to him silently and looked at him secretly. He was actually more handsome and taller than He Xuyang.

Sometimes when he crossed the 38th parallel while sleeping, she didn't seem to be so averse to it anymore.

On the contrary, she would be flustered by his unintentional touch.

Was that love? She didn’t understand at the time, but now that she thinks about it, that’s what it was like to be young, right?

In this relationship with He Xuyang, He Xuyang has always been the beneficiary, while she has always been the giver.

If the relationship is not a two-way journey, the person who has been giving will become more and more tired, just like her before.

But she never felt tired when getting along with Yang Shuo. He always took good care of her emotions, paid attention to her needs, and then satisfied them silently.

The biggest difference between Yang Shuo and He Xuyang is that Yang Shuo's love is expressed in actions, while He Xuyang's love is always superficial and his love is only expressed in words.

After she figured it out, she laughed at herself. Why was she so stupid to indulge in the man's sweet words?

"Sister, I want to eat wedding candy..." Qiao Zhixia from upstairs suddenly cheered.

Over the past year, she has seen how good Yang Shuo has been to her sister. Her sister is a traditional woman and it is impossible for her to not get married, so when she meets someone who knows her well and is devoted to her, of course she has to grab him.

Yang Shuo is good-looking and comes from a wealthy family, so there must be a lot of women who are interested in him.

Both of them have missed each other for these years, are they going to miss each other again?

Qiao Chudong's words gave Yang Shuo courage. He grabbed Qiao Chudong's slightly cold hand and held it in his warm palm, pleading with her as if cherishing her:

"Chu Dong, give me a chance. I want to give you and Yaya a complete home. Is that okay?"

Qiao Chudong felt the warmth of his palm being transmitted to her bit by bit, her lips trembling: "Yang Shuo, you are very good. But I am not worthy of you, you still..."

Yang Shuo looked serious and determined: "Chu Dong, you are the best girl in the world. I am the only one who is not worthy of you. You deserve the best in the world."

Qiao Chudong was touched by his affectionate gaze. Is she really qualified to talk about love?

A failed marriage has drained all her courage.

"Chu Dong, you shouldn't punish yourself with other people's mistakes! I am willing to give you time, and I will always wait for you." Yang Shuo didn't want to force her, he understood her worries and concerns.

Qiao Chudong felt the light in the man's eyes dimming little by little, and her heart began to tighten. She suddenly held Yang Shuo's hand tightly as he was about to pull away.

"Yang Shuo...I want to try to get along with you for a while."

Yang Shuo opened his eyes wide in disbelief, the surprise in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Really? Chu Dong, are you willing to give me a chance?"

Qiao Chudong nodded, her ears red with embarrassment, and Yang Shuo excitedly hugged her tightly in his arms.

There was a jeer coming from the upstairs window, and the atmosphere team asked the two to kiss each other, which frightened them so much that they hurriedly ran away holding hands...
