Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1270: I’ll Go With Them

Wang Yi pursed her lips and said, ”But I really don’t like the idea of him being with Xu Yiqiu. In the end, he told me that he was still going to go; he just wanted to check out the handwoven textiles there and see if he could help the villagers in the mountains. He said that even Xu Yiqiu thought it was a win-win-win situation and a very meaningful thing to do, so why was I thinking so irrationally?”

Chiang Xiao remained silent for a while before asking, ”So, how do you want me to help you?”

Wang Yi clutched her hand, looking at her beseechingly, and said, ”Xiao Chiang, I just want to ask you to join their field trip this time, can you? I can’t go, but you can. If you’re there, I’d feel a bit more at ease. And I want you to help me see...”

See what?

Chiang Xiao waited for her to continue.

Wang Yi seemed to realize that she might be being truly unpleasant, bit her lower lip, and suddenly released her hand with a lack of enthusiasm.

”Never mind, let’s not.”

”Hmm?”

Wang Yi said with a bitter smile, ”I suddenly felt that doing this was a sign of not trusting Chen Yin. Besides, I used to think that I would never do such a thing, acting like I was planting you as a spy among them.”

Although she said she was giving up, Chiang Xiao could see that she was utterly lost and helpless.

In love, whoever invests more deeply is often the one afraid of losing the most.

Especially women.

They turn into someone they no longer recognize.

All the things they once thought they’d never do, they end up doing involuntarily in the name of love.

When imagining love, one might think, ”I will be a generous and understanding girlfriend, giving my partner plenty of trust and space.”

But when love ferments in the mind, those ”beliefs” might as well be air.

Maybe Wang Yi was being quite rational already.

Thinking of the Wang Yi she knew in her previous life, Chiang Xiao suddenly said, ”Alright, I’ll go with them.”

”Ah?”

Wang Yi was taken aback, looking at Chiang Xiao in surprise.

She actually felt that her request was quite unreasonable.

Even though Chiang Xiao was on summer vacation, she surely had her own things to do, and even if Chiang Xiao happened to be free, if she wasn’t really interested in the field trip, it would be awkward for Wang Yi to ask Chiang Xiao to waste half a month on it.

”Xiao Chiang, just treat it as if I was lost in wild thoughts just now, really, there’s no need to go...”

”No, I actually find the activity and the route quite interesting. Plus, you know, for us artists, it helps to travel more, see more scenery, and immerse ourselves in local cultures and customs.”

Chiang Xiao was telling the truth.

After her rebirth, she had the ambition to travel and take in the landscapes of different places.

Xu Yiqiu had mentioned the trip to her yesterday, and she was already somewhat tempted; now, with Wang Yi’s issue, she felt it was a trip she should take.

Not to spy, but for Wang Yi’s sake—if Chen Yin did spark something with Xu Yiqiu during those two weeks, she would come back and advise Wang Yi to give up on Chen Yin.

It would be easier for her to recover from giving up now, than after fully falling for him and getting hurt later.

If Chen Yin truly had no such feelings for Xu Yiqiu, then during the field trip, as a friend, she would remind him of what behaviors were crossing the line.
