Initially, they had their eyes on another female teacher. Their reasoning was simple: there were too few attractive women in the village. Even the village belle was nothing special by outside standards. The sent-down youth were a much better target.
And among those sent-down youth, the educated teachers were the most desirable targets.

Gu Jiaojiao didn't hide it. "I feel like someone's staring at me, and it's making me very uncomfortable. But I looked all around and didn't see anything."
