Sun Yunyun trembled with excitement. Ever since Su Wen snatched away her pendant, she had not dreamed for a long time.
It was not until the previous night that she finally had a dream.
However, for reasons she could not understand, she did not dream of Zhou Hengyang as she had before. She dreamed about the division of land via the drawing of lots. Her family had been allocated the best paddy field closest to the river, which made irrigation much easier.
His parents and brothers were overjoyed.
On the other hand, Su Wen’s family was allocated the barren mountain that everyone despised. It was overrun with weeds and thorns, where no grain would take root.
Su Wen became the laughingstock of the town. Everyone laughed at her, making snide comments, saying she deserved what she got for committing so many sins that even the heavens had cursed her with bad luck.
However, her dream showed something more. In it, the barren mountain was wreathed in a halo of golden light.
Although she did not know what the barren mountain hid, she knew the golden light was a promising sign, indicating it was a treasure mountain.
Based on her experiences interpreting her dreams, Sun Yunyun knew the barren mountain was very important and that a great opportunity likely awaited her. The heavens smiled upon her once more, rewarding her for her diligence, kindness, and willingness to bow her head to avoid confrontation with the wicked.
The barren mountain belonged to her.
When Sun Yunyun woke up the next day, she knew she had to return home. It had been a while since she had gone home because she had been preparing for her college entrance exams. However, for the sake of the barren mountain, she had to return; she even took some time off, requesting a leave of absence from her school.
En route home, she thought of how she could get Su Wen to relinquish her right to the barren mountain. As long as she showed up when everyone mocked Su Wen for her bad luck, Sun Yunyun believed she could convince Su Wen to exchange her lot with hers. In doing so, she would kill two birds with one stone, appearing selfless while still reaping the rewards her dream had led her to.
Not only would she gain Su Wen’s gratitude, but she would also change her fellow villager’s opinion of her.
By then, Sun Yunyun would be known as someone deserving of praise.
Sun Yunyun vowed she would not allow this opportunity to slip through her fingers.
While on her back, she bumped into two large men.
In particular, the man in the driver’s seat was unbelievably handsome. He seemed irritable, but with some luck, Sun Yunyun felt it would not take too much effort to wrap him around her thumb. A little kindness went a long way, and even the stoniest exterior could be overcome in time.
Xu Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and ignored Sun Yunyun. He had seen many people like her since he was young; any of them had been more effective than Sun Yunyun’s pathetic display to woo his affections. Honestly, did she take him for a fool?
Did she think he, Xu Xiaoxiao, was an idiot?
If not for the fact that he and Liu Chun had never been to this obscure village and did not know the way, they would not have needed Sun Yunyun to act as a guide. Just as they were about to ask for directions, Sun Yunyun approached them, offering to show them the way. Worse still, it was some country girl who lived in the village he was looking for! The mere thought of her sitting in his car filled him with disgust.
It must have been divine retribution, but the girl was so obnoxiously pretentious that Xu Xiaoxiao nearly blew a gasket as she chattered throughout the journey.
It was all because of Zhou Hengyang that he suffered this indignance. When he returned, he would exact vengeance with the help of his grandfather and uncle.
“You can get out now.” Xu Xiaoxiao did not mince his words, brutally making his opinion known to the still oblivious Sun Yunyun.
“Ah?” Sun Yunyun thought she had heard wrong and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao in shock.
“I beg your pardon?”
“I said: feel free to get out of the car. We’ve already arrived; what more are you waiting for?” Xu Xiaoxiao snarked snidely. Was she hoping to do more? Well, he did not want her help.
Xu Xiaoxiao showed no mercy to those he despised, his words as biting as the winter winds.
Sun Yunyun immediately burst into tears. On the one hand, it was because she was embarrassed, and on the other, it was almost second nature for her to put on an act.
No man could remain indifferent to her tears. As soon as she cried, everyone would ask how she was. Not even her high school principal’s son was immune to her tears.
Xu Xiaoxiao certainly was Zhou Hengyang’s cousin in thought, if not words. While Hengyang did not bother remembering Sun Yunyun’s name, Xu Xiaoxiao eyed Sun Yunyun with unconcealed displeasure, bordering on disgust. The two were very much alike..
