Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 304: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 32

Coincidentally, the man standing behind He Chenglin knew his identity and cleverly made room for him when he squeezed in.

Hearing what Gu Qian said, he stepped back with his eyes wide open, then shook his hands frantically, as if to say: No! Don't slander me!

When He Chenglin heard Gu Qian's words, he suddenly came to his senses.

He looked at the scene around him, and then said, "I'm sorry, young lady. But young lady, everything I said is true, and I have no intention of offending you! I won't disturb you from doing your work, I'm leaving now, and I'll come to see you another day!"

Then he clasped his fists, saluted, and walked out of the crowd.

Every day after that, He Chenglin would take the opportunity to run to the bun shop to talk to Gu Qian, and they would have conversations like this.

"Miss Gu, my name is He Chenglin from Hefu. I wonder if I have the honor to know your name?"

"Don't you already know that?"

"Miss, please don't joke with me. I only know your last name is Gu."

"Isn't it enough to know that my last name is Gu?"

……

"Miss Gu, have we really never met before?"

"In your dream!"

"That must be it! Before I met Miss Gu in real life, I thought I could only see such a beautiful face in my dreams!"

……

"What does Miss Gu do on a daily basis? Has she read any books?"

"no!"

"Why is Miss Gu so cold to me?"

"Because you're annoying!"

"No one has ever told me that I'm annoying. You really have unique insights. I will reflect on this carefully when I go back!"

Gu Qian didn't know why her tone and attitude became much more aggressive every time she met He Chenglin.

Sometimes she would feel regretful for blurting out a bad word, but the other person's next words would make her break this regret and make her think that she should have said it more harshly.

She tried many times to communicate with He Chenglin, but she was often unable to do so because she was not humble enough.

"Mom, I'm not that close to him, am I? I just spoke too quickly, that's not the case!"

"Then why are you so nice to her? You guys always talk and laugh together, but I've never seen you be so nice to other men who have intentions towards you!"

"What intention does he have towards me?" Gu Qian just felt wronged.

He Chenglin didn't mean that at all, and neither did she.

In fact, the reason why Gu Qian was so "nice" to He Chenglin was simply that there was no greed or lust in his eyes when he looked at her, but pure appreciation.

It is a compliment and affirmation of her appearance, not a desire to possess her.

She always felt that the magnetic field between the two of them was very close, the kind that could be friends.

She believed that He Chenglin felt the same way, otherwise he would not always come over to have all kinds of seemingly exaggerated but actually meaningless conversations with her.

It’s just that in this world, there are very deep boundaries between men and women. Once they spend more time together, they will start to feel that there is something going on between them.

"He has no intentions towards you? All the neighbors around us can see it. If he doesn't have any intentions towards you, why would he run from the east to the west of the city every day to find you?"

"In our small place, the east and west of the city are not very far away..." Gu Qian muttered.

"Don't interrupt!"

"Okay, okay, mom, I'll tell you the truth. We are just friends. I am willing to pay attention to him because he has no thoughts about me, nor those disgusting stares. All he has is admiration as a friend." Gu Qian said solemnly.

"I was also on guard at first, so I said some unpleasant things. But he accepted everything and didn't feel any dissatisfaction or anger. Instead, he used a relaxed way to relieve my regret for saying those unpleasant words."

Seeing that Li Xiuqin was still thinking about her words, Gu Qian continued, "Mom, he is not the dandy boy that everyone talks about. He has his own ideals and ambitions. I don't know how those rumors came about, but I know that only when you have met a person yourself, you are qualified to evaluate him."

Moreover, she was sure that He Chenglin's identity was not simple!

This person, just like her, feels out of place in this small place.

His every move and every behavior made her feel that they were not talking in front of a small steamed bun shop, but... in the officialdom!

But it doesn't matter to her whether he is mysterious or not, or what his true identity is. What matters is that in a world where women have a low status, there is someone who respects her and talks to her as an equal without any tinted glasses.

And this person took the initiative to approach her and become friends with her.

This is important to her.

In the past, she didn't think this was so rare, but after living here for eight years, she felt the preciousness of this emotion.

When she moved to the courtyard, she had grown up a little.

Although the neighbors seemed friendly on the surface and even often bought buns from her house, they always liked to say some dirty things behind her back, and sometimes even said them to her face, thinking that she was too young to understand.

Especially since she looks so seductive at such a young age, she will be very unique when she grows up. She might go to brothels and learn some activities that cannot be seen by others.

The kids from the surrounding neighborhoods all had their own friends, and because of the influence of the adults at home, they didn’t like her and were even very repulsive to her.

Especially some super masculine and smelly boys who were spoiled by their families. They felt that they were superior to others and looked down on her, but they were honored to get her, and they secretly bet on who could get Gu Qian.

There was even one time when the three of them heard several men in the front yard making dirty jokes to Gu Qian.

Gu Yong was immediately furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush forward, but Gu Qian held him back tightly.

Looking at the two pairs of pleading eyes in front of him, Gu Yong could only walk away dejectedly.

Of course, she didn't care about people who treated her badly. When she was annoyed by such things, Gu Qian would do some small tricks to discipline them.

Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin endured no less rumors and pressure than she did.

It's just that due to personal considerations and the need to run a business, he usually lets it go in one ear and out the other, and he only occasionally checks on her feelings.

But she still felt somewhat lost and powerless.

Of course, this is not entirely directed at certain people or things, but more at this era.

However, she had already thought about all this very clearly when she had experienced it that year, so if anyone offended her again in the future, she would retaliate directly in kind.

Either their mouths were smashed or their legs were broken, but she would not hold back. As long as they were in trouble, she would be happy and would never waste time on herself.

It was just that He Chenglin's appearance now made her feel emotional again.

After hearing Gu Qian's answer, Li Xiuqin was silent for a long time, and then she said solemnly: "Qianqian, do you still remember those things from your childhood?"
