Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

More than an hour later.

Shen Nian'an moved her feet with difficulty, her face flushed red, yet with an unusual pallor.

She bit her lower lip and asked in a low voice, "Sister, how much further?"

Shen Nianchu shook her head, her face also flushed, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

Xia An glanced at the sun high overhead, feeling a bit uncomfortable herself.

"Uncle Xie, how much further is it?"

Xie Weiguo turned his head, "We've only gone halfway, and you can't even take it anymore?"

"Huh? Only halfway there?" Song Xiao's face fell, filled with despair.

Not to mention Jiang Mengmeng and her group, even Qin Weidong and Zhang Qiang were somewhat disgusted.

At this moment, they were covered in sweat, their legs felt like lead, and they were in great discomfort.

Xia An glanced at the group, then looked towards the shady grove of trees ahead.

"Uncle Xie, it's too hot. We've been walking for quite a while, and I'm worried about the risk of heatstroke. Could we rest for a bit before continuing?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo glanced at everyone and nodded.

"Let's go over there then, but we can only rest for a short while; we need to go back soon."

Thank you.

Xia An nodded.

Upon hearing that they could rest, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they quickened their pace.

Under the shade of a tree.

Everyone sat down without any regard for appearances, taking small sips of water from their kettles.

At this time,

Jiang Mengmeng leaned closer, a little embarrassed, and asked, "Xia Zhiqing, do you still have plenty of water?"

Xia An turned to look at her. "I remember it was full at the commune, right? Is it all gone?"

Jiang Mengmeng was a little embarrassed, "I forgot, and I drank a little too fast."

Xia An glanced at her water bottle, handed it over, and said, "It's fine as long as you don't mind."

"No problem, no problem."

Jiang Mengmeng quickly took it, took a small sip, and her eyes lit up.

"Xia, this water is so sweet!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan looked over with a half-smile, "Mengmeng, are you sure it's Shui Tian?"

"Of course, if it's not just sweet water, then it could be..."

Jiang Mengmeng blurted out something, then suddenly noticed the smile on Ye Qingxuan's lips.

She realized what was happening, and her face, already flushed from the sun, turned even redder.

She stole a glance at Xia An and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned and his face was a little redder.

"This water is indeed very sweet, and after drinking it, I feel refreshed all over, my fatigue has lessened, and I'm not as hot anymore."

Xia An laughed and said, "The water was all collected from the commune; it's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be."

One-tenth of the water in the kettle is from the spiritual spring, and it does indeed have the effects that Jiang Mengmeng described.

But he had no intention of showing it to anyone.

As she was about to take the water bottle, Jiang Mengmeng quickly said, "Xia Zhiqing, can I have just one more sip?"

"Drink it."

Xia An shrugged, not being stingy.

Jiang Mengmeng quickly took another sip, but didn't drink any more.

There's still half the journey ahead. She drank too much this time, what if Xia An won't let her drink next time?

Jiang Mengmeng took a sip and handed the kettle back, saying, "Thank you, Xia Zhiqing."

"polite."

Xia An casually replied and placed the kettle beside him.

At this time,

Ye Qingxuan glanced at Jiang Mengmeng's expression, then looked thoughtfully at Xia An.

The redness on Jiang Mengmeng's face from the sun had faded considerably. Was the water really that good?

She hesitated for a moment, put down the kettle, and said, "Xia Zhiqing, mine is empty too. Could I have a sip?"

Xia An looked up at her, did not refuse, and handed her the kettle.

He's already interested in her, so what's wrong with giving him some benefits?

Besides, it wasn't something he gave it to voluntarily, so it shouldn't be considered being a simp, right?

The system is too reliant on stunning beauties.

Xia An's current thinking is simple: when faced with a stunning beauty, neither take the initiative nor reject her.

You can divide your heart into many pieces and give them to many people, but you can't be a scumbag.

If you win over a stunning beauty, you should do everything in your power to take full responsibility.

This is his bottom line.

Ye Qingxuan took a sip and felt a refreshing sensation wash over her, causing her eyes to light up.

She took another small sip, and the fatigue and heat instantly vanished.

She handed the kettle to Xia An, gave him a deep look, and said meaningfully:

"Xia Zhiqing is really generous; she actually put sugar in the kettle. No wonder Mengmeng said the water tasted sweet."

Jiang Mengmeng quickly chimed in, "I told you the water was sweet, but Sister Qingxuan was just joking with me."

"It's my fault, Mengmeng is not angry."

Ye Qingxuan sat down next to her, her body no longer feeling tired.

The others nodded in understanding upon hearing Ye Qingxuan's words.

Beside Jiang Mengmeng, Ye Qingxuan glanced thoughtfully at Xia An.

The water might contain sugar, but it's definitely more than just sugar; sugar water doesn't have this effect.

This Xia Zhiqing is very mysterious. Mengmeng mentioned him in her dream, but it seems he's dead.

Are your dreams no longer accurate?

Ye Qingxuan had a secret: she had a dream on the eve of her trip to Heilongjiang Province.

Five scenes appeared in the dream:

Firstly, at the educated youth office, she was delayed for a moment and became one of the last three people to arrive, and there was no stewed vermicelli with sliced ​​meat.

Secondly, the seven educated youths were taken away by Xie Weiguo and sent to Anping Village.

On the way, Jiang Mengmeng inadvertently mentioned Xia An, who died on the train.

Thirdly, Song Xiao committed suicide after her landlord's son, who was drunk, broke into her rented room and she was criticized by others.

Fourth, Shen Nianchu was too strong-willed. She helped her younger sister with a lot of farm work, but she still didn't have enough to eat or wear.

One night, Shen Nianchu passed away in her sleep. Her younger sister, Shen Nian'an, was devastated and committed suicide by running into a car at the educated youth settlement.

Fifth, after five years of hard work, she finally returned to the city, only to find herself without a job and subjected to the disdain and bullying of her brother and sister-in-law.

Finally, she was forced by her parents and brother and sister-in-law to marry the mentally challenged son of her boss, only to have the man suddenly die that very night.

Therefore, her mother-in-law believed that she was a jinx to her husband and pushed her downstairs the next day, causing her to fall to her death.

She initially thought it was a dream until she met Xia An and the others on the truck.

This made her believe in Meng a little more, after all, she had never met Jiang Mengmeng and the others before.

But the women in her dream were so similar to those in reality that she couldn't help but believe it.

Moreover, after living together for so many years, one could barely discern her favoritism towards her own parents and her ruthlessness towards her brother and sister-in-law.

They can do it!

The incident involving educated youth selling vermicelli and the people in front of her further confirmed her dream.

The only variable was the addition of Xia An, who was supposed to be dead.

She didn't know if she was reborn or had a premonition of the future, but she knew very well that this was true.

Xia An has become a variable.

Because of him, Song Xiao is aware of the hidden dangers of renting a house, and perhaps she won't die.

If he had been there, the Shen sisters would have known to seize the opportunity, and perhaps the tragedy would not have been repeated.

Ye Qingxuan, after confirming that the dream might be real, decided to stay in Anping Village.

She had been thinking about which suitable villager she should marry and settle down with, but now, perhaps she has a better option.

That's the mysterious Xia An!

However, there's no need to rush into a decision yet; she plans to observe the situation further.

As Ye Qingxuan was pondering, Xie Weiguo stood up and clapped his hands, "We've rested enough, let's continue on our way."

The group looked distressed, but dared not question it and could only get up and continue on their way.
