Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

We're all cattle and horses, who's more noble than whom?!

If you're so capable, then don't drink it!
Guo Zhiyuan's face turned pale and then red, and he was so angry that he was trembling all over.

Pointing at the older man, she wanted to refute him, but after her lips trembled for a long time, she couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, a young man wearing glasses, who looked refined, also stepped forward, adjusted his glasses, and said unhurriedly:
"In today's society, the standard for judging a person should not be a cup of milk tea, let alone their outward appearance."

A truly cultured and refined person will not use these external things to belittle others.

Dude, why are you so blatantly mocking others for drinking cheap milk tea? Are you perhaps too empty inside and resorting to this kind of attention-seeking behavior?

Upon hearing this, a murmur of agreement rippled through the crowd.

"That's right, one should always be humble and modest. Regardless of wealth or poverty, we should all respect each other."

A cup of milk tea is just a small pleasure in life; to divide it into different levels is laughable.

Lin Muxi also stood up, blocking Chen Chen's way, and said righteously to Guo Zhiyuan:
"As long as I'm with Chen Chen, I don't care what kind of milk tea I drink, and I don't care whether he's poor or rich."

If there's nothing else, please leave and don't disturb our enjoyment of this beautiful time.

"That's right, Guo Zhiyuan, you should focus more on yourself."

Chen Chen remained calm, his gaze coldly fixed on Guo Zhiyuan, his words resounding.

Then, his gaze slowly shifted to the girl next to Guo Zhiyuan. He paused slightly, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"I'll give you some face today because this lady is here. But if there's a next time..."

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as a blade, staring directly at Guo Zhiyuan, and said, word by word:

"We won't let you off so easily. Don't think that just because you have a little money you can belittle others. Everyone has their own way of life, and you can't just judge them as you please."

Guo Zhiyuan's face turned red and then pale after being rebuked by Chen Chen's words. His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to refute but was speechless for a moment.

The girl next to him was also a little embarrassed, and shifted her body uncomfortably, trying to break free from Guo Zhiyuan's embrace.

At this moment, the surrounding customers began to whisper among themselves, pointing and whispering about Guo Zhiyuan.

Guo Zhiyuan felt as if he were the target of everyone's criticism, and his anger and resentment surged like a tide.

He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Chen Chen, then pulled the girl beside him along, muttering to himself as they walked:

"We'll see."

After they left, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi sat down again.

Chen Chen looked at Lin Muxi apologetically: "I'm sorry, because I made you suffer like this too."

Lin Muxi smiled and shook her head, gently taking Chen Chen's hand and saying:

"It's okay. In my heart, you are the most precious. We don't need to care about what these people think, as long as we stay together."

Looking into Lin Muxi's gentle yet firm eyes, Chen Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

The two leisurely finished their milk tea, then strolled side by side to the pedestrian street, weaving through the bustling crowds and admiring the unique shops and lively scene along the way.

We also went to the Moon Gazing Pavilion and ended up strolling around without realizing it.

Chen Chen took out his phone and checked the time. Realizing it was getting late, he turned slightly to the person beside him and said softly:

"Let's go back. My uncle and the others are planning to go to the fields to catch eels tonight."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Muxi's eyes. Living in the city, this kind of rural activity, close to nature, was incredibly appealing to her. She nodded quickly and said cheerfully:
“Great! I’ve never tried catching eels before, it must be so much fun.” The two held hands and walked briskly towards the parking lot.

I got home and just got off the bus.

Then they saw that Chen Chen's fourth uncle had already prepared the tools for catching eels.

Chen Jianwen and a few others gathered in the courtyard, enthusiastically discussing tonight's "battle plan."

Seeing Chen Chen and Lin Muxi appear at the door, Chen Jianwen's smile widened, and he enthusiastically waved to greet them:

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Xi, you're finally back! Hurry up and get ready, everyone's waiting for you to set off together!"

On the way back, Chen Chen had already sent a message to Chen Jianwen, informing him that he would be taking Lin Muxi with him.

So at this moment, everyone is gathered here, eagerly awaiting the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen immediately nodded in response:
"immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently took Lin Muxi's hand and quickly walked up to the second floor.

The two of them took out their old school uniforms from the closet, which they had worn when they went fishing at the pond during the Chinese New Year, and each of them quickly changed into a set.

After changing their clothes, they hurried downstairs and put on the water shoes that were placed in the corner.

With everything prepared, everyone picked up the flashlights, bamboo baskets, and other tools that had been prepared beforehand.

The group set off in a lively and grand manner toward the paddy fields outside the village.

Along the way, the croaking of frogs rose and fell, as if playing a grand symphony.

Chen Chen held Lin Muxi's hand tightly, "The road conditions in the fields are quite complicated, so stay close to me."

Lin Muxi nodded excitedly, "Okay."

The moonlight shone on the country lanes, like a layer of silver frost, illuminating their path.

Upon reaching the paddy field, Lin Muxi hesitated, looking at the muddy ground. Seeing this, Chen Chen reached out and took her hand, gently comforting her:

"Don't worry, I'm here with you, nothing will happen."

Lin Muxi took a deep breath, nodded, and carefully followed Chen Chen into the paddy field.

At first, Lin Muxi was a bit flustered, not only finding it difficult to spot the eels, but also frequently getting stuck in the mud.

Chen Chen stood beside Lin Muxi, his gaze focused and gentle, patiently and softly instructing her:
"Look, eels mostly like to hide around these mud burrows."

When making a capture, the movements must be gentle, slowly extending your hand... this way you can avoid alerting the snake.

Lin Muxi listened attentively to Chen Chen's explanation, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and focus.

She carefully imitated Chen Chen's previous demonstration, her gaze fixed on one spot.

Finally, an eel came into her sight. Lin Muxi took a deep breath, slowly reached out her hand, and cautiously approached the eel.

However, seemingly sensing the potential danger, before Lin Muxi's hand could even get close, the clever eel suddenly twisted its body and instantly disappeared into the mud hole.

Lin Muxi couldn't help but let out a soft gasp: "Ah, it got away."

The voice carried a hint of annoyance, mixed with a touch of playfulness. (End of Chapter)
