"You..."
Lin Fan was puzzled, "Which nerve of yours is acting up again?"
He smiled and said perfunctorily, "I think you're pretty good. Yes, you're just pretty good."
"Tell me the truth, in more detail."
Tian Mengyao was not satisfied with the answer "pretty good."
What does pretty good mean?
What is good about it?
"This... I think you're actually quite silly."
As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, he heard a grinding of teeth and quickly explained, "Just pure, cute silly!"
"To be honest, in today's society, with all its materialism, it's rare to find a good girl like you who maintains a pure heart and is not tainted by bad influences. It's truly very, very rare!"
"In all my years, I've never met a pure and lovely girl like you. Meeting you is indeed very good."
"For Luofeng Village to have a village party secretary like you is also very good, a blessing for the common people!"
Tian Mengyao giggled, "Then it's your blessing too?"
"Yes, of course it is!"
Lin Fan answered crisply.
Where else could he find such an easy-to-talk-to and easy-to-bully village party secretary?
Thinking of this, Lin Fan suddenly realized.
Could this silly girl have fallen for me?
"Secretary Tian."
Lin Fan gently poked Tian Mengyao's arm.
Tian Mengyao pouted and said, "What is it?"
Lin Fan took a breath and asked, "I saw you grinning foolishly just now. What were you thinking?"
"I... who was grinning?"
Tian Mengyao rolled her eyes, "Get away, you bad guy!"
She was in a state of internal conflict.
How could I possibly like someone like him?
Her expression kept changing, and her gaze towards Lin Fan was sometimes angry, sometimes gentle.
Lin Fan reached out and touched her forehead, "You don't have a fever. What's wrong?"
Tian Mengyao remained still, thinking, "It's over. I'll probably be bullied by him for the rest of my life."
"Why do I feel so happy when he touches my head?"
Lost in her thoughts, Tian Mengyao restarted the car and resumed their journey back to Luofeng Village.
They remained silent all the way.
Tian Mengyao would steal glances at Lin Fan, her expression sometimes pouting and sometimes soft as water.
Soon, the SUV stopped steadily in front of Xiao Fan's Medical Clinic.
After Lin Fan got out of the car, Tian Mengyao reminded him, "Don't forget to come and help me organize documents tonight."
"Got it."
Lin Fan's tone was listless, as if he hadn't eaten.
"If you don't come, I'll come and knock on your door. Do you hear me?"
"I hear you."
Lin Fan thought to himself, "I'll open the door without clothes, just to scare you away!"
"What a fated encounter!"
Lin Fan sighed to the heavens.
It seemed that unknowingly, he had charmed another girl.
Amazing!
Lin Fan watched the SUV disappear from view, then turned and walked towards Wangjia Village.
"Who cares!"
"Maybe if her family objects, she'll change her mind."
In this world, how many things go according to one's wishes?
Especially love.
It is often a deep affection, with one party's feelings reciprocated, yet it cannot withstand the harsh realities.
It's best to let things take their natural course!
Soon, Lin Fan arrived in front of Song Yue's house.
Knock, knock, knock!
Three knocks.
Lin Fan didn't call out, fearing that the neighbors would hear and it would cause trouble.
Or, it could be said that he had a guilty conscience.
"Coming, coming, it's almost dark, who is it?"
Song Yue figured Xia Xue wouldn't be back anytime soon from her parents' place.
Furthermore, with just the knocking and no one speaking, it made her wary.
"It's me."
Lin Fan lowered his voice.
Song Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Fan, you're back alone. Where's your sister-in-law?"
"My sister-in-law will be back the day after tomorrow."
Lin Fan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, which made Song Yue happy.
"Come in quickly and eat. I just finished cooking."
As she spoke, Song Yue had already unlocked the door.
"What's the point of eating, Sister Yueyue..."
After Lin Fan quickly closed the main door, he hugged Song Yue from behind.
Song Yue shivered, her face flushed, and said, "Let's... let's talk after we eat."
"I have to work overtime at the village committee after eating, so we need to make good use of our time."
Lin Fan said, and then picked up Song Yue horizontally.
"Hey, don't rush."
Song Yue felt both shy and embarrassed.
She felt as if Lin Fan had taken a strength-enhancing pill, as he held her as easily as if she were a kitten.
Lin Fan carried her horizontally, not into her room, but turned and went into the room where Xia Xue usually stayed.
The room's furnishings were very much in Xia Xue's style.
Xia Xue liked various unknown wild flowers and grasses.
As long as she found them pretty, she would pick them and keep them in pots, placing them on the windowsill or dressing table.
"Xiao Fan, tell me first, what kind of overtime are you going to work at the village committee?"
"What else? Secretary Tian said that at the end of the year, there are procedures to be handled, and the paperwork is piling up, so she needs my help."
"Then why didn't she ask someone else?"
Lin Fan shrugged, "Look at the village, old ones are old, young ones are young. Besides me, who else can help?"
Song Yue felt a pang in her heart. After thinking for a while, she still asked, "Xiao Fan, tell me the truth, have you gotten together with Secretary Tian?"
"Get together with who!"
Lin Fan spread his hands, "Go get together with someone and I'll see!"
Song Yue sat on the bed, looking up into Lin Fan's eyes with a mournful expression, "I always feel like there's something going on between you two."
"That's just you thinking nonsense. Nothing of the sort is happening."
Lin Fan's eyes burned with a fierce fire, which made Song Yue's body feel hot and her heart beat like a drum.
"Let's go to my room."
Song Yue lowered her head slightly, shyly saying, "Don't mess up your sister-in-law's bed."
"No need, this is fine."
Song Yue knew Lin Fan's feelings for Xia Xue better than anyone.
"I'm just worried that if something is left behind, your sister-in-law might find out..."
As Song Yue said this, Lin Fan pounced on her.
A passionate battle began!
After a long while.
Lin Fan gently stroked Song Yue's hair and asked, "Do you still suspect me and Secretary Tian?"
Song Yue nestled in Lin Fan's arms and replied, "I don't anymore."
She naturally had to agree with Lin Fan at this moment.
Otherwise, if Lin Fan got worked up again, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Lin Fan chuckled proudly, "Then I'll be going. Otherwise, Secretary Tian will definitely come looking for me at the clinic."
After he said that, he even kissed Song Yue's pretty face.
"Mmm."
Song Yue half-closed her eyes, appearing very tired, "Go ahead, I need to sleep."
"Ha!"
Lin Fan let out a laugh, then suddenly remembered that they were in Wangjia Village.
If someone heard, it would be terrible!
Song Yue had also been suppressing herself, not daring to make any noise.
"You're such a troublemaker!"
Song Yue muttered softly, then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
Lin Fan then got dressed and headed towards the Luofeng Village Committee.
