A Young Woman's Heart

It's also during the National Day holiday.

Many people may even still be sound asleep.

However, Huang Zhengyang had just returned to the farm from out of town.

The bright morning sun had no effect on him at all; even looking up at the sky, he felt he could fall asleep immediately.

"Zhengyang! You've worked so hard!" Uncle Wang patted the car door forcefully from the side.

Huang Zhengyang stretched out his arms in the car and nodded lazily: "I'll take a nap before I go back."

"Alright, you can sleep in my room!"

Without any hesitation, he got out of the car and rushed into the small wooden house at the entrance of the farm.

That's where the boss usually rests.

We've been making more deliveries at night lately, so we've added a few more beds for everyone to rest temporarily.

He yawned as he took off his shoes, rolled onto the bed, barely moved, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Actually, if he didn't want to deliver at night, there was no need for him to do it so often; many people only deliver during the day.

But in order to earn more money, he had to work even harder.

Fortunately, I am still young. As long as I get through this period, I will be able to enjoy life.

He plans to use the extra money to open a small shop, selling anything will do...

Few people live solely to work and earn money without ever stopping to rest.

All our efforts are for the sake of making things easier for our future selves.

If people can't see hope, they often lose the motivation to move forward.

Huang Zhengyang felt like he had a bunch of random dreams, and when he woke up, he felt like he had slept for a long time.

But in reality, only five or six hours had passed.

It was midday, and the scorching sun outside the window made it feel like summer.

"Ah Yang! You're awake? Perfect timing... Hey, I need to ask you for a favor. There's another job to run here, from here to Q City, over a hundred kilometers away. Go quickly and come back soon. I'll give you a day off tomorrow."

"Okay." Huang Zhengyang propped himself up on the bed and struggled to get up.

Although he was awake, drowsiness hadn't yet left his mind, and he didn't even feel the strength to push the door open.

Uncle Wang handed him a bag filled with snacks and drinks: "There's not much cargo this time, just use your car."

His vehicle was a relatively small truck, but its advantages were its maneuverability and speed.

Although the car still belongs to the boss, he has always been the one using it, so it often feels the same as the one I bought myself, with no difference.

His car was filled with all sorts of his own things. Sometimes he thought there was nothing left to eat, but he could still find a bag of snacks under the seat.

The dazzling sunlight made Huang Zhengyang squint. He almost fell to the ground, but luckily he managed to steady himself in time.

"Let's eat something first before we set off. Even if we're in a hurry, a few more minutes won't make a difference."

Huang Zhengyang nodded in agreement. He first opened all the doors of his truck to let it air out, otherwise it would probably feel like a sauna when he sat inside later.

Although it's autumn, the midday sun is anything but gentle.

"Brother Zhengyang! Brother Zhengyang!" Just as Huang Zhengyang casually grabbed a ham and bread from the bag and was about to start eating, he heard someone calling his name from afar, and then a dark-skinned boy strode over.

The potholes and uneven ground did not affect his speed at all; he even easily flipped over several railings as if walking on flat ground.

This is the farm owner's son. He's on holiday for National Day, so he came here to play. He's going up the mountain with the farmers who manage the fields to pick wild vegetables or catch wild game to eat. He's having a great time.

"What's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"

"There's a really pretty older sister with purple hair who's looking for you!!"

"Purple hair?" Huang Zhengyang was a little confused.

He only realized what was happening when Zuo Ziya slowly came into his sight.

It was so dark that night that he didn't even notice that she had dyed her long hair purple.

She walked up to him, holding a light green parasol. Her deep red sunglasses slipped down her nose slightly, revealing a pair of calm and dignified eyes.

How did you know I was here?

"I found out." Zuo Ziya took off her sunglasses, tossed her long hair lightly, and answered with a smile, "Are you getting ready for work now, or just getting ready to leave work?"

"work."

"Going to deliver goods?"

"correct."

"Can I come with you?"

"Huh?" Huang Zhengyang was stunned, not understanding for a moment. "Why?"

"Since we have nothing to do, let's take a walk together."

"I don't have air conditioning in my car, and the sun is so strong, it's very hot on the road."

"It's alright." Zuo Ziya smiled and squinted her eyes.

"Tsk tsk, Zhengyang, where did we meet? Is your spring in love here?" Uncle Wang patted his shoulder teasingly and asked with a big laugh.

"Uh, well... it's a long story..."

"Then there's no need to explain, haha, go ahead, they've already taken the initiative to contact you, are you going to refuse them?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhengyang seemed somewhat flustered and embarrassed.

I didn't actually look at it very carefully that night.

But looking at her again today, I realize she is really beautiful.

She's very tall, around 1.7 meters, which is at least the height of an Asian model.

She was wearing high heels, and Huang Zhengyang standing next to her was even two or three centimeters shorter.

If they weren't wearing any clothes, they would probably be about the same height.

Her skin wasn't particularly fair, but it was certainly very smooth.

Only a pampered young lady could maintain such good skin.

She was wearing a long velvet dress with a strong Republican-era style, black with pink flowers, gold stitching, and in a few places, delicate and intricate silver patterns.

Just by looking at the fabric of this outfit, you can tell it's very expensive.

She was also wearing a pair of earrings.

The two sides are not symmetrical.

On the left is a golden butterfly with a tiny pearl in the center; on the right is a silver leaf with an irregularly shaped but exquisitely beautiful purple gemstone in the center, which, upon closer inspection, resembles a heart.

Judging from the color, the one on the left is pure gold, while the one on the right is pure silver...

Huang Zhengyang had never actually met such a young lady from high society.

She is the only one.

"Still looking?" she said with a mischievous smile, her eyes filled with a mixture of embarrassment and coquettishness. "Would you like to take me with you?"

"...Ah, but it'll really be hot inside the car..."

"It's ok."

"Alright then." Huang Zhengyang licked his suddenly dry lips, his gaze seemingly reluctant to leave her.

The truck was parked under the shade of a tree, and with the wind blowing through, it wasn't too hot inside. Huang Zhengyang quickly finished his ham bread, then turned the key and started the car.

The rudimentary truck had no air conditioning, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a tractor, since its top speed was only about 100 miles per hour.

However, there was an electric fan installed in the driver's seat, and Huang Zhengyang turned it so that it was blowing towards Zuo Ziya.

"Did you have a fight with your family?" Huang Zhengyang turned the steering wheel, turned the truck loaded with goods around, and drove off in the opposite direction.

"Zhengyang, be careful on the road! Go and come back quickly. If you're really tired, find a place to rest on your way back!"

"Don't worry!" Huang Zhengyang stretched his arm out of the window and shook it vigorously.

The truck slowly started moving.

The trees lining the road provide much-needed shade, making the breeze much cooler.

"No."

Zuo Ziya's sudden answer startled Huang Zhengyang for a moment before he realized what was happening.

"Then what...?"

"Is it not allowed if I have nothing to do?" Zuo Ziya turned her head and glanced at him, the earring on her earlobe swaying gently with the car.

"Haha, it's not that it's impossible... it's just that we're not really that close, uh, I only took you home that one time."

"Yes, let me express my gratitude to you again."

"Just a little thing."

"Can't we just be friends from now on?"

"Of course, of course!" Huang Zhengyang held the steering wheel with one hand and scratched his head with the other. "I just didn't expect a young lady like you... uh... I thought... haha..."

"What did you think?"

"I thought that kids from wealthy families wouldn't be like this... uh, like this, how to describe it again?"

"grateful?"

"Well, that's roughly the idea..."

"What do you think it is?"

"They're rather selfish, taking everything for granted and thinking it's only right."

“Of course not.” Zuo Ziya shook her head gently. “The wealthier the family, the stricter their upbringing.”

"Haha, this is the first time I've met someone as rich as you. I feel like your family must be even richer than my boss's, right?"

"Hmm." Zuo Ziya looked at her small face through the rearview mirror. "Actually, my family has invested in your boss's farm."
