After the last incident, the school went on vacation, and Xu Haiyang couldn't properly go to Shen Mianmian's village to find her, though he wandered nearby a few times without running into her.
As time passed, he gradually forgot about Shen Mianmian, especially since someone had introduced him to another possible match, a girl who was quite attractive and caught his attention.
In the end, however, she didn't take to him and got together with another person she met through matchmaking, even getting engaged.
That's when he remembered Shen Mianmian again. By chance, a good buddy of his had an aunt who was a daughter-in-law in Zhao Family's village and knew some things about Shen Mianmian's family.
As everyone chatted, he found out that Zhou Siyu was Shen Mianmian's cousin.
He thought it over and figured that if he could get Zhou Siyu on his side to assist him, winning over Shen Mianmian would just be a matter of time.
Zhou Siyu: "..."
