177: Chapter 176: The Moonlight in My Heart (3 updates) 177: Chapter 176: The Moonlight in My Heart (3 updates) Liu Wendong felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

He and Xu Niannian ca from neighboring villages, not far apart, and had been classmates from elentary school all the way to high school.

They were lucky, as the college entrance examination had been reinstated.

Given Xu Niannian’s ambition, he thought she would definitely take the exam, but unexpectedly, she did not.

Instead, she just graduated.

As for himself, it was because he did not pass the exam.

He planned to take it again the next year.

But his family’s situation was not bad, with a father who was a director in a factory—a position that paid more than being a teacher.

So his dad did not plan to let him continue studying for the exam; he wanted him to work at the factory, taking the opportunity to promote him.

When the ti ca for retirent, a few als with the factory leaders would secure his advancent.

In Liu Wendong’s heart, there was always a moonbeam of hope, and that moonbeam was his beloved Xu Niannian.

She was beautiful, elegant, intelligent, and a good student.

Many classmates said she was arrogant, but in Liu Wendong’s eyes, she deserved to carry herself with such pride.

Who could bla her for being so outstanding and having the right to be haughty?

He loved reading very much, and the reason he obediently followed his father’s wishes to work at the factory was because of a phrase she once said.

She said she would definitely marry soone who could make money when she was older.

See, she was so straightforward.

Everyone loves money, and every girl wants to marry a rich man, but others would not say it outright, whereas she was not afraid.

Liu Wendong wanted to be a teacher, a respectable and esteed profession.

After graduating from high school and with the right connections, he could have beco a middle school teacher, but she liked money.

It was for her that he ca to work at the factory.

After graduation, he had gone to find her, and she had even encouraged him at the ti.

And he had asked her a question.

He said, “Niannian, if I make money, will you marry ?”

Although she did not agree at the ti, she blushed, lowered her head, and said to him, “Co talk to after you’ve made money.”

He was excited for a long ti.

Her beauty was well-known, with people from miles around having heard that Qingshan Village had an especially charming girl nad Xu Niannian, as good-looking as the stars in the village’s big-screen movies.

Aside from being amiable to him, she never showed a pleasant face to any other male classmate.

He always thought she liked him.

How could she possibly be married already?

And now she seed so different.

She had beco more charming and prettier than before and was now more outgoing, welcoming everyone with a smile, unlike her previously lofty and reserved deanor.

But no matter how she changed, she remained the girl he liked.

From the mont he saw her, he recognized her imdiately, foolishly staring at her, but she did not recognize him, nor did she see him.

When she served the dishes, he was sitting to her left.

Was that man really her husband?

Liu Wendong was troubled by this question.

On the other hand, Xu Niannian was still bustling about in the kitchen, sweating profusely.

Jin Yu was the sa.

Luckily, the busy period was just from 12 noon to 2 p.m.

Once that was over, the restaurant gradually emptied out.

After serving the last dish and with another custor waiting for beef noodles, Jin Yu was boiling it inside.

Xu Niannian entered the kitchen, where Jin Yu stood tall and robust with a scarf tied around him, which looked sowhat comical.

Because of the heat, he simply took off his coat and wore a black fitted vest, revealing his strong, muscular arms.

Beads of sweat dotted his forehead.

Xu Niannian felt that his presence in such a cramped kitchen seed out of place.

This was a man ant for greater things.

Yet here he was, in this small kitchen.

What was it all for?

Was it simply because she helped him make money?

That didn’t seem like enough of a reason for him to help her so much.

Xu Niannian’s gaze fixed steadily on him without any attempt to disguise it, and naturally, Jin Yu could feel it.

With his thin lips curving into a small smile, Jin Yu said, “Help wipe off the sweat, my hands are not free.”

Xu Niannian was about to refuse when she heard the rest of his sentence, which instantly choked up her throat.

Seeing that he really did seem too hot, she didn’t argue with him at that mont and took out a handkerchief to dab the sweat from his forehead.

The handkerchief was thin, and after wiping him clean, it was unsurprisingly soaked through.

Once the noodles were ready, Jin Yu carried the bowl out, and Xu Niannian stopped.

The business turned out to be pretty good that day, with custors coming for noodles at noon and continuing into the afternoon.

After a busy day, Xu Niannian was exhausted to the point of collapse.

Having tidied up the restaurant, the three of them sat in the hall, where Xu Zhiqiang took out all the money they had earned that day.

“How much did we make?” Xu Niannian asked.

“45 yuan and 80 cents,” Xu Zhiqiang counted and then reported the number.

After making several hundred each ti selling Liuyue Su, Xu Niannian was stunned to hear this figure and asked in shock, clearly hit hard by the revelation.

Jin Yu saw her eyes widen, glistening as they blinked rapidly, as if she had suffered an enormous blow, her expression one of disbelief.

Xu Zhiqiang, who always accompanied Xu Niannian to sell Liuyue Su, had his expectations raised high, so after counting the money, he was also shocked.

Xu Niannian did so quick math, realized that after deducting costs, they had made only about 30 yuan.

Oh my.

Jin Yu, seeing the siblings’ incredulous faces, tapped on the table, “Snap out of it.”
