Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Thinking You Like Me_1
Chapter 55 -55 Thinking You Like Me_1
She thought of herself as a straightforward woman, vowing that if she ever came across a man who made her heart flutter, she would not play a game of cat and mouse but be proactive in making her move.
However, when actually dealing with matters of the heart, she realized that she too could become incoherent and started to overthink things.
For instance, he had done so much for her, did it mean he liked her?
But she didn’t seem to be completely in love with him.
What if he started liking her even more and she found out she couldn’t reciprocate?
Would that mean she’d toyed with his feelings?
Or maybe, she had unconsciously fallen in love with him.
But, in the end, she discovers it was all just unrequited love.
Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for her?
Now, Nan Feng suddenly wanted to ask him directly.
The atmosphere started to become ambiguous.
The entire vegetable field was quiet, so quiet that the sound of the wind could be heard.
However, Ye Ge’s voice and facial expression remained indifferent: “It’s been almost half a year since I arrived in Taiping Village.
The villagers fear me.
Apart from Uncle, you’re the only one who’s initiated a conversation with me.
Therefore, I consider you a friend.
If a friend is in need, I’d help unquestioningly.”
“…” Nan Feng was speechless in response to his words.
It seemed all her previous assumptions were pointless.
Ye Ge simply regarded her as a friend.
That was all there was to it.
At that moment, Nan Feng didn’t know whether to feel disappointed or relieved.
She lowered her head and gave out a self-deprecating laugh: “I thought you liked me and hence you helped me so much.
Seems like the village rumors are not reliable.
Someone as hideous as I am, no one would like.”
Ye Ge moved his lips, seemingly wanting to say something.
But then he seemed to think better of it and remained silent.
Nan Feng had already started reading “Essential Techniques for Elevating the People”.
She was still reading it intermittently and was struggling.
However, with Ye Ge’s constant guidance from the side, Nan Feng finally managed to go through the book once.
…
Maybe it was because he had cleared the air, but Nan Feng now felt her interactions with Ye Ge were more at ease than before.
Previously, she used to overthink things.
But now, since Ye Ge had clarified that he considered her merely as a friend, what did she have left to worry about?
So, Nan Feng got up early the next day and seeing it was a fine weather, she thought of going hunting with Ye Ge.
But before leaving, she put on a new dress and checked herself out in the mirror.
The boils on her face had dimmed significantly.
Some black scabs had already fallen off.
Although they were not completely healed, they were no longer scary to look at.
Looking at her face now was like looking at a lady with an acne-covered face.
Sure it was ugly but it couldn’t be described as horrifying anymore.
After getting ready, she took her tools and went to find Ye Ge.
Nan Quanyou was brushing his teeth behind her and reminded her, “Be careful when you’re in the mountains!”
“I know.
I’ll be with Ye Ge, what is there to be afraid of?”
…
Just as she was about to reach Uncle Zhou’s house, Nan Feng smelled a tempting aroma.
It smelled like meat and scrambled eggs.
Wondering what delicious food they were cooking this early in the morning?
Just as she was about to call Ye Ge, she noticed Zhou’s daughter-in-law not too far away.
She was acting rather suspiciously at the door.
At her side was a three-year-old boy who was sucking his finger and saying, “Mommy, I want to eat too, I want to eat…”
Turned out the mother and son had come over after smelling the aroma, they wanted to eat but didn’t dare to go in.
Seeing Nan Feng, Zhou’s daughter-in-law immediately shot her a disdainful glance: “You have no shame, looking for a man so early in the morning!”
