Chapter 135: Chapter 134 Brother Gao is Really Capable (440+ Monthly Tickets)

"I won’t give in for you, nor will I give up because of you," Gao Jiaxing declared.

"May the best man win," He Xuebing replied.

Gao Jiaxing provocatively raised his eyebrow; he was not afraid of He Xuebing. Although he knew Xia Xiao liked He Xuebing’s looks, he did not think he was inferior in any way, just not as effeminate-looking as He Xuebing.

He Xuebing was confident too, and as he locked eyes with Gao Jiaxing, it was as if a lion had met a tiger, neither willing to back down.

Just then, Xia Xiao turned around and saw this scene, asking Zheng Xianghong, "Auntie, Brother Gao and Mr. He seem to get along very well."

"Yes, these two boys have always been close, just shy of wearing the same trousers."

So watching Gao Jiaxing and He Xuebing, Xia Xiao couldn’t help feeling a bit strange inside; she admitted, she had thought wrongly.

"What’s wrong, didn’t sleep well last night?" Zheng Xianghong asked.

Hearing the concern in Zheng Xianghong’s voice, Xia Xiao felt a bit embarrassed and nodded, "A little."

Zheng Xianghong said, "Then do less later, take a rest when tired. Today, I’ll let Jiazhi and Jiaxing work harder."

"It’s okay, Auntie, no need to trouble Brother Gao and Brother Gao," Xia Xiao shook her head.

Zheng Xianghong didn’t say anything, but when they were digging the ditch and got tired, she had Xia Xiao rest while letting Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing continue working.

Somewhat embarrassed, Xia Xiao fetched some water for Zheng Xianghong. Everyone had brought water, but working hard and sweating a lot meant the water was quickly depleted, their own water bottles not sufficing.

"You don’t need to give me any, keep some for yourself," Zheng Xianghong said.

"It’s okay, Auntie, I still have some." Xia Xiao’s water was a mix of boiled and spring water, which helped relieve fatigue when drunk.

"Well then, Auntie won’t be polite," Zheng Xianghong held no further reservations, took the water from Xia Xiao, and drank it, immediately feeling much refreshed.

Soon, the team leader too was resting on the side, and Xia Xiao poured him a cup of water. Gao Jiazhi had also stepped back, but Gao Jiaxing continued to swing his hoe.

Xia Xiao watched Gao Jiaxing, who was fervently working. Though it was not yet noon, the sun was already harsh. Everyone wore straw hats, but their clothes were soaked with sweat from their labor.

Everyone also wore a sweatband around their neck, and although Xia Xiao could handle it due to her physique, she still sweated a lot.

And with Gao Jiaxing working so hard and exerting much effort, the men’s clothes were wet, and all wore tank tops while working, Gao Jiaxing was no exception.

"What are you looking at?" Zheng Xianghong asked.

Catching herself staring at Gao Jiaxing, Xia Xiao, a little embarrassed, said, "Brother Gao is really capable."

Zheng Xianghong nodded, "This youngster is all good, it’s just that he looks a bit older."

Gao Jiaxing, while working, had noticed their conversation. Working so hard was precisely to impress Xia Xiao and to show her his capability.

Initially hearing Xia Xiao praise him, Gao Jiaxing felt pleased for a moment, but the next second his mother’s words almost made him throw the hoe in his hand.

Gao Jiaxing glared darkly, unsure if calling his mother for help was a wise decision – having such a son-trapping mother left Gao Jiaxing speechless.

Gao Jiazhi noticed Gao Jiaxing’s expression, choked on the water he was drinking, and covered his mouth to steal a laugh.

Gao Guoqiang’s lips twitched, but with Xia Xiao present, it wasn’t good to speak against Zheng Xianghong.

Yet Zheng Xianghong continued, "This kid has college entrance exams next year. I didn’t even want him to come here. I wanted him to focus on his studies, but he insisted on coming to help." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Xia Xiao nodded her head, realizing Gao Jiaxing was facing the college entrance examination next year, she said, "The college exam is a big deal in life, Brother Gao should really work hard. But make sure to balance work and rest and not push yourself too hard."

And this was indeed Gao Jiaxing’s only chance.

"Yes, I’m really afraid he won’t make it. Then how will he find a wife?" Zheng Xianghong said with worry.

"Auntie, don’t worry, Brother Gao won’t have trouble finding a partner," Xia Xiao said. This was not just flattery; Gao Jiaxing’s looks and physique were definitely pluses, a perfect model physique with highlighted facial features. If he were in the modeling world of the future, he might have made quite a name for himself.

Thinking this, Xia Xiao paused for a moment, suddenly curious about what Gao Jiaxing did in the previous life. They had not crossed paths back then, and she didn’t know what Gao Jiaxing ended up doing, although it wasn’t hard to guess for He Xuebing, who sure looked like he would end up in the military.

But Gao Jiaxing was unpredictable, although with his current character, it didn’t seem like he would be unsuccessful. But obviously, he wasn’t a well-known figure on TV or the internet. Xia Xiao grew curious at the moment, a pity that Shitou didn’t have the ability to foresee the future, so she couldn’t know either.

"Water," Gao Jiaxing suddenly called out, breaking Xia Xiao’s train of thought.

Zheng Xianghong, reaching for Gao Jiaxing’s water bottle next to her, felt it lighten unexpectedly and said out loud, "Oh no, it’s empty."

Gao Jiaxing took it from her, tipped it to his mouth, and confirmed it was nearly empty.

"Brother Gao, I have some, you’ve worked hard," Xia Xiao quickly poured some of her water into Gao Jiaxing’s bottle, inwardly thankful for his help with the work.

Their production team had taken on the task from higher up to mend the ditches, and it was divided into groups, each fixing a segment. Xia Xiao was glad to be in the Gao family’s group and was grateful to Zheng Xianghong for looking after her.

Gao Jiaxing drank the water poured by Xia Xiao, feeling the cooling sensation soothe his body, and his expression softened considerably.

"Brother Gao, take a break for a moment," Xia Xiao said.

Gao Jiaxing nodded, put down his hoe, and just as he was about to sit and chat, he saw Xia Xiao pick up a hoe and walk away.

Gao Jiaxing: "..."

At this moment, Zheng Xianghong also picked up a hoe, and seeing Zheng Xianghong moving, Xia Xiao felt it wouldn’t be proper to keep sitting, so she picked up a hoe to work too.

"Xia Xiao, rest a bit longer, then work later," Zheng Xianghong said.

Gao Jiaxing was speechless, his mother always seemed to spoil his plans – was this really his mother, always making things difficult? He had just sat down to talk, and she led the person away – what was the intent, did she or did she not want him to find a partner?
