Chapter 153 At Sunset

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"what?"

"The village wants to grant land to rent to that bookstore."

"Didn't we say before that we would rent Grandpa Yang's old house?"

"I don't want to rent it anymore. I heard that Grandpa Yang thinks the price is too low and doesn't want to rent it."

With Aunt Agui's repeated assurances, the news leaked out as expected.

The village is not big, so it's rare to see something new.

Just this morning, some news came out, and within half a day, under the big trees in the streets and alleys, the aunts and grandmas in the village were discussing the matter enthusiastically while doing their handicrafts.

A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face walked by carrying a backpack. When he heard these discussions, his face changed and he immediately left in a hurry.

In the evening, when the sun is about to set, the orange-red afterglow illuminates the sky.

Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou walked hand in hand along the path in the field. Golden ears of rice swayed on both sides, and the cool breeze brought bursts of rice fragrance.

"I didn't expect that Qingya, who is so beautiful, would encounter such a thing."

After learning about what happened to Su Qingya in the restaurant, Xu Hongdou felt a little sad for a moment.

"This has nothing to do with whether a person is beautiful or not. It's just that you met the wrong person." Chen Mo said casually.

"Believe it or not, that third person might not be as pretty as Qingya."

"why?"

"Because infidelity is more often about seeking emotional satisfaction rather than pure lust."

"Like what we often call a mistress, finding someone younger and prettier may be more about enjoying the sense of superiority of showing off one's own abilities and conditions; if the relationship between the couple is not harmonious, then they may be looking for another emotional sustenance."

"And just like you said, Qingya is pretty enough, so the reason why that man cheated on her is most likely not due to appearance, at least not the main factor."

Xu Hongdou frowned, "But from what I heard from their conversation just now, it seems like they didn't have any sharp emotional conflicts before they broke up."

Chen Mo nodded, "So I said, Qingya just met the wrong person."

"For some people, 'fraternity' is an irresistible instinct."

"This kind of person may be more considerate and competent as a boyfriend than most people in a relationship."

"You will feel that he is good to you in every way, and he is indeed good to you in every way, and it is all sincere, not fake at all."

"The only problem is that his sincerity is often a bit excessive, and he wants to share some of it with others from time to time."

Xu Hongdou smiled. "The word 'scumbag' seems quite fresh and refined after you packaged it like this."

Chen Mo shrugged, "I didn't mean to defend him. I just analyzed the possible logic behind his behavior."

Xu Hongdou did not comment, but changed the subject and asked, "Then how do you know so much about this?"

Chen Mo explained: "I have a friend."

As soon as he started talking, Xu Hongdou showed a half-smile expression, and Chen Mo said helplessly:
"I really have such a friend. I'll introduce him to you when I have the chance. He's a good person except that he's a bit philanthropic."

"It's really not a made-up friend?" Xu Hongdou still had some doubts.

Chen Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Of course, I can't be turning myself in and confessing now, right?"

"You know what, I'm quite scared of what you just said." Xu Hongdou bit her lip, "If you really hid it from me like that, I definitely wouldn't be able to find out."

Sometimes people feel too happy to be real and start to worry about gains and losses.

Chen Mo smiled knowingly, reached out and rubbed Xu Hongdou's head, and said softly: "So, in your heart, I am so good."

Xu Hongdou shook her head slightly, rolled her eyes, but did not deny it.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "In fact, how long a liar can deceive a fool is determined by the fool himself."

"If two people spend every day together, how could they not notice that there is something wrong with each other? It's nothing more than that they are willing to be fools in love."

After hearing this, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, "It seems that love can sometimes be a poison."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "That's right. Love is about truth and falsehood. It's fatal if you can't tell the difference."

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes and threatened, "Are you afraid that I am also poison to you?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "I'm not afraid."

Xu Hongdou raised her eyebrows slightly, "Hmm? Why?" Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Because you know you love me."

Xu Hongdou tilted her head in confusion: "Do I know about this?"

Chen Mo didn't say anything, just looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.

"Okay, even if I know."

Xu Hongdou turned her head away, her cheeks dyed red by the sunset glow in the sky.

A woman's blush is worth more than a long dialogue.

Seeing this beautiful scene, Chen Mo couldn't help but be moved. He couldn't help but move closer and take a bite.

"Eh~ It's all saliva." Xu Hongdou gave a glare and wiped her face with the back of her hand in disgust.

Chen Mo gestured, "Don't you have a small package of tissues in your bag?"

Xu Hongdou waved her hand, "Forget it, that's not necessary."

Chen Mo blinked, "Uh, I mean I want it."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Mo, then opened her bag and searched.

Chen Mo wiped his lips with his fingers and said, "Wipe your mouth. There's too much powder on it."

Xu Hongdou had just taken out a tissue, but when she heard this, she froze, and the fingernails of her finger holding the tissue turned white.

As expected, there is no boyfriend who is not a cheapskate.

Chen Mo had already foreseen what would happen next and was preparing to escape.

Xu Hongdou took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said gently, "Come, I'll help you wipe it."

Chen Mo slowly stepped back, "Forget it, I suddenly feel it's not necessary."

"No, we must use it!" Xu Hongdou's hand grabbed it quickly.

Chen Mo turned around and ran away.

"If you have the guts, stop right there, don't run!"

"No ability, haha~"

In the setting sun, the shadows of two people were chasing each other, one in front and one behind.

"Ouch." Xu Hongdou suddenly cried out in pain and squatted down, covering her ankle.

Chen Mo stopped and looked back, "You're trying this again?"

"Hiss~~" Xu Hongdou lowered her head, enduring the pain, and did not answer.

Chen Mo couldn't tell whether it was true or not, so he had to squat down and check, "Let me see, is it really sprained?"

Xu Hongdou stood up instantly, put her hands around Chen Mo's neck and held him under her armpits.

"I knew it." Chen Mo cried out in sorrow.

After Xu Hongdou vented her anger, she clapped her hands in refreshment.

Chen Mo rubbed his red ears and said angrily: "It's still the same trick, can you be a little more innovative?!"

I remember that when they first dated, Xu Hongdou pretended to have a stomachache to trick him once.

Xu Hongdou snorted softly, "The plan is not new, as long as it works for you."

After playing around, the two went home holding hands.

In the setting sun, the shadows of the two people gradually lengthened.

[The amber dusk is like sugar in the beautiful distance. Your face is not made up but I am madly in love with it. My longing and shadow are stretched together in the evening.]

"red beans."

"Ok?"

"Maybe I can't explain why I love you, but you are the reason why I don't love anyone else."

"Ah."

Love needs no hiding, kiss before sunset and go home after dusk.
