Chapter 47

When Wu Aizhen suddenly arrived, Xiao Fei was quite surprised, and of course, he felt a little touched in his heart.

He knew she must have come to deliver the sample newspapers to him.

Yesterday, when he went to school to pick up his score notification, he hesitated and didn't go to see her, fearing that he might provoke her and cause unnecessary trouble.

With his psychological age far exceeding forty due to his two lifetimes, Xiao Fei was very clear that a girl like Wu Aizhen, at her age, was in the stage of budding emotions, yearning for a grand and passionate love.

Meeting a boy she didn't dislike, and discovering his various shining qualities during their interactions, admiration would naturally arise and become uncontrollable.

Love in the world is like the blooming of flowers and the growth of grass, releasing a captivating fragrance without one's awareness.

She must have a good impression of him.

Perhaps there was even a faint affection.

Being liked and loved is not a bad thing.

But why do I feel a bit wrong about it?

The image of Xu Fengjuan and their child, Xiao Bao, with his adorable smile, appeared in his mind again.

He had left them in his previous life.

He had desperately tried to bring them back countless times in his dreams.

He wanted to tell her and the child, "We will never be separated again."

Xiao Fei warned himself that he must not give Wu Aizhen the wrong signals and must not let her get deeper into the whirlpool of emotions. Wu Aizhen is a good girl, and he cannot hurt her.

Regarding this unexpected variable, Xiao Fei also did some thinking.

In his previous life, Wu Aizhen must have had the same good impression and faint affection for Xiao Fei. However, because he didn't go to that bookstand during his repeat year, their contact decreased, and their relationship naturally became distant, eventually turning into strangers.

After being reborn, he went to Wu Aizhen to copy the submission addresses for magazines and newspapers, and visited her twice more, which unknowingly made their connection closer.

Another layer is that Xiao Fei's articles were published one after another, showing her his excellent side and deepening her good feelings towards him.

This is the main reason for the change in the course of events.

Of course, Xiao Fei also suspected that he might be overthinking. Perhaps she just came out of kindness to deliver the sample newspapers?

Am I overthinking this?

I hope so.

Xiao Fei's reaction and words seemed a bit stiff, and the brief silence made Wu Aizhen even more uneasy. She took out a thick stack of newspapers from her bag and handed them to Xiao Fei, saying, "Xiao Fei, these are the sample newspapers I saved for you. You haven't come to pick them up for a while, so I brought them to you."

"Thank you, Aizhen Sister. I'm very grateful. Come, sit down and rest for a moment. I'll get you a glass of water." Xiao Fei took the newspapers and said warmly.

"No, no, I have to hurry back." Wu Aizhen waved her hands and wanted to turn and leave.

Girls are always sensitive.

She felt the slight coldness from Xiao Fei and felt a chill in her heart: He doesn't seem to welcome me to his home.

Xiao Fei scratched his head. He saw the sudden dimness in her eyes and felt a bit frustrated. His behavior was indeed not very mature.

He quickly pulled her bicycle's rear seat, "Aizhen Sister, what's the rush? You should at least stay for dinner."

"That's right, that's right! Xiao Fei, you should treat your friend well. I'll go to the market to buy some meat and vegetables. We can't let her leave." Xiao Yang rubbed his hands and said.

Wu Aizhen struggled a few times.

Seeing that she couldn't break free, she had to stay.

Xiao Fei led her to a chair and handed her a palm fan, smiling, "Our home is humble, and we don't even have an electric fan. It's cooler to sit in the yard."

Wu Aizhen took the fan and waved it a few times, curiously looking around the dilapidated home.

The yard was full of yellow earth, with some vegetables planted and weeds growing. A few chickens clucked around, and the pigs in the pigsty grunted. The low earthen house had a roof covered with thatch.

The family's poverty was evident.

She didn't expect Xiao Fei's home to be so poor.

Her mood became complex, and she felt a bit of pity for him: Growing up in such a difficult environment, he could still be content with his life, optimistic, and strive to add so much brightness to his life. It was truly not easy.

Since her father's death, her family had also fallen into hardship.

They were in the same boat.

Xiao Fei went to the house and poured a bowl of hot water from the thermos into a porcelain bowl, adding a bit of sugar. He brought it out and, seeing her lost in thought, said with a smile, "Aizhen Sister, have some water to quench your thirst."

"Oh, thank you." Wu Aizhen stood up, trying to take the bowl with both hands, but her movements were a bit flustered.

Xiao Fei said, "The water is very hot. Sit down, and I'll put it on the table."

They both sat down but didn't know what to say.

Xiao Fei looked at the people in the yard, the chattering women, and the snot-nosed children running around. He thought, "Why are they still watching?"

He didn't want to rudely drive them away, so he said, "Ladies, grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, we have a guest at home. There's nothing to see here. Why don't everyone go home?"

The people laughed.

A woman asked, "Xiao Fei, is she your girlfriend?"

Wu Aizhen blushed at this, looking at Xiao Fei to see how he would respond.

Xiao Fei smiled bitterly and said to the woman, "This is a big misunderstanding. She is a sworn sister I recognized, who has always been very kind to me. She came today to deliver something. Please don't say such things in the future, as it will make my sister unhappy. Right, Aizhen Sister?"

After saying this, he sought Wu Aizhen's opinion.

Wu Aizhen thought, "How should I respond? Whatever I say seems to have the effect of 'no silver in the ground.' However, she liked this feeling.

Perhaps this visit was not in vain.

No matter what, she had taken the initiative in front of his family and the villagers.

She didn't understand why Xiao Fei was eager to distance himself from their relationship. Was it because of shyness? But he seemed quite composed.

Perhaps he doesn't have feelings for me?

Wu Aizhen's heart sank.

She tried to maintain a calm demeanor, looking at the villagers and nodding with a smile, "Yes, Xiao Fei is my brother. Everyone, don't overthink it."

"Hehe! If brother and sister spend too much time together, they will become a couple. Everyone, is that right?" someone joked.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Xiao Fei was at a loss, realizing that this misunderstanding would not be easy to clear up. He was a bit troubled.

After the laughter, everyone slowly dispersed, each going about their business, leaving only a few children lingering.

Wu Aizhen smiled and took out a handful of fruit candies from her bag, distributing them to the children and saying, "Go play!"

The children took the candies and ran away, turning back to shout, "Thank you for the new bride's candies!" This almost made Xiao Fei fall over. These kids were really not giving him any face.
