By chance, Zhuang Jie saw Chen Maidong at the tea party. He was still sitting alone in a corner, and compared to the sociable Zhuang Jie, he seemed especially eccentric and withdrawn. Before the tea party officially began, Zhuang Jie chose to sit right next to Chen Maidong and proactively asked to add him on WeChat, but he lied and said he had left his phone at the funeral home.

This time, the town mayor had gathered everyone mainly to introduce the recent developments in Nanping Town over the past two years. They planned to relocate the pharmaceutical factory to the city within five years, which meant thousands of people would face unemployment. Likewise, tourism was not as prosperous as outsiders believed, and there was still a significant difference between the busy and off-seasons.

Therefore, he wanted to see if anyone present had resources or suggestions—whether to help sell local agricultural products or offer ideas for new industries or development paths for the town. In addition, the mayor specially introduced Chen Maidong, who had returned from out of town. Because of his presence, Nanping Town not only brought dignity to the deceased but also helped many elderly people living alone. Even the provincial authorities had sent people to learn from his work.

In the mayor’s view, such a rare talent being single was a waste, and he reminded the single women present to pay more attention to Chen Maidong. In response, Zhuang Jie playfully kicked Chen Maidong to get his attention, but ended up hurting her own leg. Although Zhuang Jie had replaced her prosthetic socket six months ago and everything fit perfectly during the fitting, she had been feeling discomfort over the past couple of days.

After the tea party ended, she sat on a stone bench outside, silently enduring the pain. Initially, Chen Maidong didn’t intend to give Zhuang Jie a ride, but seeing her struggling to move, he suddenly felt a wave of sympathy and borrowed a motorcycle from someone nearby to take her home. Zhuang Jie hugged Chen Maidong’s waist without reservation and chattered on about how she felt the day they reunited.

At first, she had been attracted because he resembled her ideal type, only to discover he was actually an old flame. Chen Maidong abruptly hit the brakes, feeling that Zhuang Jie was a bit too noisy. But unaware of this, Zhuang Jie kept talking emotionally, glancing around and commenting that the town had changed a lot. It wasn’t a place suitable for long-term living—staying too long would dull a person’s ambition.

Just as she finished speaking, Chen Maidong quickly got off the motorcycle and ran toward a peach orchard. Zhuang Jie saw an old widower chasing after a deranged woman and instantly understood what was happening. Regardless of whether her leg still hurt, she ran even faster than Chen Maidong. Meanwhile, Granny Chen and Granny Lin were enjoying desserts.

When Granny Lin mentioned Zhuang Jie, Granny Chen had mixed feelings—on one hand, she felt Zhuang Jie was like her younger self, but on the other, she thought Zhuang Jie was too eager to leave Nanping Town. Despite the town’s beautiful scenery and good environment, it was never truly where her heart felt at peace. After stepping in to help, the two returned home late at night. Chen Maidong found himself unable to read Zhuang Jie’s mind.

He couldn’t tell which parts of what she had said during the day were true and which were false. Her unserious attitude made him angry, and once again, the two got into an argument. This scene was witnessed by his little sister and Zhuang Yan. He Niaoniao was convinced that Chen Maidong had mentally manipulated her older sister, which was why she had become like this. Back in high school, Zhuang Jie wasn’t as lively and cheerful as she is now.

Her transformation mainly stemmed from something Chen Maidong once told her: “Turn your crutch into a weapon in your hand. ” After being in a car accident, Zhuang Jie was left with a disability in her left leg. Even when others treated her kindly, it was always tinged with pity and prejudice, which severely hurt her self-esteem. Meanwhile, Chen Maidong experienced upheaval in his family and became a target of bullying at school.

Because of this, the two wounded souls—physically and emotionally—gradually moved from mutual dislike to becoming each other’s source of warmth. One day after school, it was pouring rain. Ignoring the stares from classmates, Chen Maidong carried Zhuang Jie down a busy street. Zhuang Jie silently held an umbrella and looked at his cold side profile and injured forehead. He Niaoniao and Zhuang Yan came over to gossip about Zhuang Jie’s past, speculating why she had returned home.

Zhuang Jie candidly said she had two reasons: one, she had undergone gallbladder surgery; two, she had broken up and needed time to heal. Zhuang Yan had also come to terms with many things and no longer clung stubbornly to his passion for painting. Though he still loved art, his current priority was to study well and finish his university courses, so their mother wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

Granny Chen, dissatisfied with Chen Maidong’s stubborn temper and his hopeless pursuit of Zhuang Jie, decided to step in herself and help make the match happen.
