Impulsiveness
As Wan Hai spoke, he suddenly realized something was off. There hadn’t been any recent policy changes, so why would a newly educated youth be sent to the countryside?
“Are you mistaken?” Wan Hai questioned Wan Feng.
“Don’t doubt me! Although I don’t know who she is, Li Bin told me himself. He brought the educated young woman from Stone Village. I heard there was an incident in Stone Village, and she will be staying in our village’s production team’s publicity department dormitory temporarily. Li Bin also mentioned that she is exceptionally beautiful, like a movie star!”
Wan Feng grew more excited as he spoke, almost standing up from his stool.
Sun Li raised her hand and slapped Wan Feng. “Why are you so excited? She won’t be interested in you!”
“Why wouldn’t she be interested in me? Am I that terrible? Mom, have some faith in your son!” Wan Feng pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“Have you ever seen your lazy and gluttonous behavior? The girl isn’t blind or dumb. How could she be interested in you?” Sun Li rolled her eyes in disdain.
Sun Li’s youngest son, Wan Xue, chimed in, “Exactly! If she wanted to date someone, she would choose someone like Brother Min Nan. Brother Feng just gives up, you don’t stand a chance!”
“You little brat, do you want to be slapped?” Wan Feng and Wan Xue began their usual squabble.
Upon hearing Wan Feng’s revelations, Min Nan, who had been absent-mindedly eating, suddenly remembered something. His actions became rigid, and his usually cold facial expression showed a hint of visible emotional fluctuation.
Min Nan put down his utensils and hastily said, “Godmother, I just remembered that I have something to attend to. You all continue eating.”
With that, Min Nan hurriedly left.
“What’s wrong with Min Nan?” Sun Li held her bowl, staring blankly at Min Nan’s disappearing figure.
As Min Nan stepped outside, he tightly pursed his lips and walked with large strides, his emotions in turmoil.
Was it her?
The educated young woman who had an incident in Stone Village was described as beautiful. All signs pointed to Ye Ling!
Why would Ye Ling come to Willow Village?
Min Nan, who had sharp thinking, quickly recalled something. Wan Hai had mentioned that Dai Wei came looking for him today!
Could it be that Dai Wei sought him out to inform him about Ye Ling? Did Dai Wei bring Ye Ling to Willow Village?
Min Nan had pieced together the facts, but he still needed confirmation.
When he arrived at Li Bin’s doorstep, Min Nan knocked on the door. After seeing Li Bin’s mother, he straightforwardly said, “Auntie, I need to speak with Li Bin.”
“Alright, let me call him.” The middle-aged woman yelled into the house, and soon after, Li Bin came running out.
Li Bin was about the same age as Min Nan. When Min Nan lived in Willow Village when he was young, he had even gone down the river to catch crabs with Li Bin. The two of them were quite familiar with each other.
Min Nan straightforwardly asked, “What’s the name of the young woman who recently moved in?”
Li Bin looked at Min Nan in surprise, realizing that Wan Feng must have told him about it.
Li Bin wasn’t surprised that Wan Feng would tell him, but he was taken aback by the fact that Min Nan had come to his house to ask about this! It was unlike Min Nan’s usual behavior. Over the years, Li Bin had never seen Min Nan show interest in any woman.
“Her name is Ye Ling. Why? Do you know her, Brother Nan?” Li Bin asked cautiously.
Min Nan had already suspected this, but his emotions still fluctuated when it was confirmed. However, he didn’t show much change in his facial expression.
Seeing Li Bin’s curious gaze, Min Nan realized that his behavior of coming to his house was highly unusual and aroused his suspicion.
“Yeah, I know her. Don’t talk too much about her to others, and don’t go asking around in Stone Village. If any rumors spread, don’t get involved,” Min Nan replied, knowing that it was unrealistic to claim that he didn’t know Ye Ling. Li Bin wasn’t foolish, so it was better to be upfront.
“Oh, I see…” Li Bin’s tone and expression became complex. He seemed like he had something to ask Min Nan, but ultimately decided against it. Instead, he made a promise, “Brother Nan, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her on your behalf!”
Min Nan’s indifferent expression almost cracked.
What did Li Bin mean by “taking care of Ye Ling on his behalf”? What was he thinking?
Min Nan pursed his lips and gave up on defending himself.
In any case, Min Nan’s sudden visit to Li Bin was already abnormal. Even if Min Nan explained, Li Bin wouldn’t believe it.
He was too impulsive.
After hearing Wan Feng’s words, he was shocked and, in a hurry, to confirm the truth, without considering that his actions would cause others to misunderstand.
On the way back, Min Nan gritted his teeth and looked in a specific direction.
“Dai Wei!”
