Reborn in the 80s: My Whole Family Secretly Hears My Thoughts and Goes Wild with Success! - Chapter 147

“Laws and regulations are closely related to each and every one of our lives.”

Ye Jiawen reached out and handed a flyer to the person passing by: “Classmate, please take a look.”

She thought it would be like before, that they wouldn’t take it. Unexpectedly, this person not only took it but also started reading it carefully.

“Classmate, you all have put real effort into this flyer,” the person said.

As the hand holding the flyer slowly lowered, a handsome face was revealed: “Could you give me a few more? I’d like to take them back for my classmates to see.”

“Of course.”

Just as Ye Jiawen was about to pull more out of her bag, a girl not far away hurried over and handed him a stack first.

“You’re Wen Liang, right?” The girl’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at him.

Wen Liang smiled in acknowledgment. “Yes.”

“Wen Liang, I’ve read your poetry collection. A few days ago, I went to see you play the guitar too.” The girl grew more and more excited, edging closer to Wen Liang.

Ye Jiawen quickly took a step to the side. She glanced at the girl, then at the man named Wen Liang, and turned to leave, intending to give them space.

“Classmate,” Wen Liang called out, stopping Ye Jiawen.

Ye Jiawen turned her head to look at Wen Liang: “Classmate Wen, is something the matter?”

Wen Liang smiled slightly: “Might I ask your name?”

The girl patted her chest and answered first: “Wen Liang, she’s Ye Jiawen. I’m Guo Jia, but it’s not the same ‘Jia’ as hers. Mine is the one with the single radical, hers is the ‘Jia’ from ‘commendation’.”

“Wen Liang, will you be playing guitar on the sports field this Sunday?”

“Yes, I hope you can come with…” Wen Liang looked towards Ye Jiawen’s retreating back: “…Classmate Ye Jiawen.”

“Sorry, I have something on Sunday, so I won’t be going. Guo Jia, you should find someone else to go with you.”

Ye Jiawen wasn’t far away and naturally heard Wen Liang’s words. Without looking back, she waved her hand dismissively at the two of them.

“Wen Liang, what time will you be there on Sunday?”

“In the evening.”

“Then I’ll go early so I can get a seat near the front.”

“Okay.”

After exchanging a few more words with Guo Jia, Wen Liang headed in the direction Ye Jiawen had left, hoping to catch up with her, but he couldn’t find her.

Returning to the dormitory from the library that evening, the moment Ye Jiawen entered, she heard Guo Jia telling the others about how handsome and gentle Wen Liang was.

“Jiawen saw him too.”

Guo Jia came over and pulled Ye Jiawen into the circle: “Jiawen, tell them. Isn’t Wen Liang exactly as I described?”

Ye Jiawen offered an objective assessment: “He certainly speaks gently and politely, but I don’t think he’s that handsome.”

“Jiawen, what’s your standard for looks? Wen Liang isn’t handsome?”

“Aesthetic appreciation is highly subjective. Just because you find him handsome doesn’t mean I share the same view.”

“Then what kind of man do you consider handsome in your mind?”

Ling Hang’s face involuntarily surfaced in Ye Jiawen’s thoughts: “Tall, manly, brave, good-tempered, loves to laugh.”

“Jiawen, does that mean you have someone you like?”

Guo Jia’s question made the others crowd around Ye Jiawen, all teasing her playfully.

“Definitely, she described him in such detail.”
“Jiawen, your face is all red.”
“Jiawen, come on, ‘fess up! When did this happen? Is it someone from your hometown?”

“Ah, no, it’s not! Stop making wild guesses,” Ye Jiawen said, her face flushed as she pushed them away and grabbed her washbasin, heading for the washroom.

Since that day, she had found herself thinking of Ling Hang from time to time.
Several times, she had even dreamed of him.
Ye Jiawen couldn’t control the thoughts in her head, so she simply stopped trying.
She admitted it to herself: she missed him a lot. It was probably because she had fallen for him.
However, she remembered her mother’s words: liking someone is one thing, but being together involves two people, and it depends on whether they are truly suited for each other.

The sun rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, the day arrived for Ye Zhiqiu and Yue Mingyuan to meet as planned.

The night before, Ye Zhiqiu had already packed the things she wanted to bring: four jars of homemade sauce, the scarf she had knitted, and some medicinal powders and oils that Old Man Dong had helped her prepare.

Yue Guohuai sent a car to take Ye Zhiqiu and Yaya. Ye Zhiqiu had the driver pick up Ye Jiawen on the way.

Ye Jiawen got up very early. Seeing that she had, for once, taken trouble over her appearance, Guo Jia and the others speculated after she left: “Is Jiawen going on a date?”
“Must be.”
“We’ll have to find a chance to see what Jiawen’s guy looks like. If even Wen Liang doesn’t measure up to her standard, maybe her guy really is more handsome than Wen Liang?”
“Guo Jia, didn’t you also have plans with Wen Liang to see a movie today?”

Mentioning this deflated Guo Jia’s good mood like a leaky balloon. “Wen Liang didn’t agree. He said he had something to do at home today.”

Wen Liang hadn’t lied to Guo Jia; he really did need to go home for something.
He was a local of the capital, from a fairly well-off family.
Since childhood, because of his looks and talent, he had been very popular with girls. His friends all called him “Wen Baoyu”.
Ye Jiawen was the first girl who had been indifferent to him and seemed unimpressed, which immediately piqued his interest.
He initially thought she was using this to get his attention, but after observing her during this time, he realized she genuinely had no interest in him.
While feeling somewhat frustrate, Wen Liang also felt a rising desire to win her over.

“Jiawen?!”

He was just thinking about Ye Jiawen when, unexpectedly, he saw her.
Wen Liang hurried to the school gate. Just as he was about to call out to her and say hello, he saw her, beaming with a radiant smile, get into a car.

“Yaya, let your auntie hold you! Auntie has missed you so much!”

Once seated properly, Ye Jiawen took Yaya from Ye Zhiqiu’s arms and kissed the little one’s cheeks several times: “Yaya, did you miss Auntie?”

Yaya waved her little fist, indicating that she had.

“Look what Auntie bought for you!”

Ye Jiawen took a small cloth doll from her bag and placed it in Yaya’s arms.

“An old lady sells them at the night market near us. I thought it looked nice, so I bought one for Yaya.”

“Ya!” Yaya grabbed the little cloth doll, waving her hands excitedly to show she liked it very much.

At least she had something to play with on the journey.
The little devil wasn’t with her, so no one would be reading to her. It was bound to be boring.
But before long, Yaya was lulled to sleep by the motion of the car.

Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Jiawen chatted idly, but their hearts had already flown far away.

A certain stationed encampment on the outskirts of the capital.

“Team Leader Yue!”

The sentries snapped to attention, saluting Yue Mingyuan.

Yue Mingyuan returned the salute, waved a hand at them, indicating they should carry on.

The two sentries exchanged a glance, both seeing nervousness on the other’s face.
Compared to the Battalion Commander, everyone was more afraid of this Deputy Team Leader Yue.
He didn’t need to do anything; simply standing there was enough to make their legs feel weak.

Yue Mingyuan glanced at his watch, turned, and left. The two sentries instantly breathed sighs of relief.

“What was Team Leader Yue doing here? Isn’t it his turn for inspection today?”
“Who knows?”

They hadn’t spoken more than a few words when they saw Yue Mingyuan return. They immediately snapped back to attention.
