"This chocolate is really delicious!" exclaimed Yu Zhiqing, prompting a chorus of admiration from the other Female Educated Youths.
"Coming from Guojing City, it's no surprise that you have such refined tastes," they thought, impressed by her background. However, this also sparked their curiosity about Yu Suihuan's identity. After all, how could an ordinary Zhiqing from Henan Province have access to such coveted treats?
"Yu Suihuan, is this chocolate imported?" Su Xiaoxiao asked tentatively. Coming from a well-off family with parents who were prominent figures in their respective circles, she still found it rare to indulge in such rich chocolate.
"I have relatives in Shenzhen who often send me things," Yu Suihuan replied casually. "I don’t know much about it, but if you like, you can take some home. I have plenty."
Her generosity surprised the girls. In this era, especially in rural areas, just having a piece of Milk Candy was considered a luxury, let alone chocolate. This girl was truly exceptional to offer them such gifts.
Though they were curious about Yu Suihuan, the girls didn’t forget the main purpose of their visit. "Alright, since you're so generous, we won't hold back!" they said as they quickly emptied the basket of chocolates. It was clear that this batch was not cheap.
"Yu Suihuan, this is just a small token from us!" Su Xiaoxiao pushed a gift forward, suddenly feeling less confident. Initially thinking that their visit would be a grand gesture towards Yu Suihuan, they now felt somewhat embarrassed by their offerings.
"Thank you!" Yu Suihuan responded warmly, showing no sign of looking down on them, which made them feel much more at ease.
"Yu Suihuan, we heard you were once in a relationship?" one of them asked boldly.
Yu Suihuan inhaled sharply; these girls were quite direct. She hadn’t even fully grasped who they were yet and they were already probing into such personal matters.
With an awkward smile and her gaze lowered, she wished to avoid the topic. It was hard not to think about him.
"Yes, it was in Jing City," she finally admitted.
"We heard about it too. But unexpected events like that are something no one wishes for; you should try to take it easy!" one girl offered sympathetically.
Yu Suihuan was at a loss for words. Their comments made it feel as if Yang Qinghe had passed away.
"Indeed, there are many good men. We all come from Jing City, so we will definitely help you find a good one!"
Among the three girls, Wu Hongmei was relatively older and her tone was not as sharp as the other two.
Yu Suihuan thought to herself, "I really appreciate you all." Since they had just met, she didn't want to reveal too much about herself, so she just smiled and said nothing.
"Yes, I think Yaojun is quite suitable! He comes from a good family, is handsome, and very composed. He would be perfect for you, Yu Suihuan!"
It was Liu Yingyu, Huo Yaojun's cousin, who spoke up. The reason they had come to the countryside this time was because of her urging.
Knowing that they were coming together, her father had repeatedly instructed her two cousins to take care of her.
Though it was called taking care of her, it was really more about keeping an eye on her.
Her older brother was very strict, and she was terrified of him. She always tried to find something for him to do so he wouldn't just stare at her all day.
Besides, she wasn't that young anymore and really wanted to date someone; however, she didn't have the courage to approach her cousin.
The other two girls exchanged knowing glances and chimed in agreement.
"Yes, Yu Zhiqing, Huo Yaojun is really great! Back in Jing City, many young girls pursued him, but he ignored them all!"
"Many girls pursuing him? What about Yang Qinghe? Is he surrounded by a group of girls right now?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't even know if I'm still alive; I still want to find him!"
Yu Suihuan suddenly felt that this year had been quite long and wondered if Yang Qinghe was still the same as before.
The girls continued their chatter and coaxing for a while before finally quieting down.
Though Yu Suihuan's surroundings became peaceful at last, her heart remained unsettled.
