"No, thank you. I've already bought something else."
Wang Xinxin refused the item Chen Zhengnian offered. After a polite thank you, she turned to leave.
She was the type who could let things go. If Chen Zhengnian saw her as a sister, then she would dutifully be a sister.
There were plenty of fish in the sea; why get hung up on just him?
With that, Wang Xinxin walked out of the cooperative. Chen Zhengnian frowned and hurried after her.
Just outside the cooperative's entrance, Wang Xinxin was talking to a young man.
He'd seen the young man before. He worked at the commune with Wang Xinxin.
He was young, not bad-looking, and always smiled when he spoke to people.
The same Wang Xinxin who had just coldly refused him was now beaming at this young man.
A sour feeling suddenly churned in Chen Zhengnian's gut.
The young man was holding an oil-paper packet, smiling as he pressed it into Wang Xinxin's hands. "I just bought some sugar cakes. They're still warm. Have a taste."
