Chapter 423 Supplement - The troublesome educated youth is a spoiled child (7)
Sui Yu didn’t suffer from heatstroke, but it was not a good idea to go out for a walk using this excuse.
Otherwise, others are working hard, and suddenly you see her leisurely inspecting with her hands behind her back. This doesn't seem right.
Chen Muting, Li Hong and the others had all left. Sui Yu thought she would have to sit alone at the educated youth site for the entire afternoon when there was another knock on the window.
When Sui Yu suddenly heard this voice, her heart skipped a beat.
She pushed open a gap and saw that Zhou Yan looked unhappy.
Although he tried his best to be gentle and restrained when looking at me, there was still a hint of ferocity in his expression.
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with guilt. "I, you can't sleep at my place today. I'll have to ask you to stay at the educated youth camp for two days."
"The leader who comes to inspect will stay here," Zhou Yan emphasized. "Don't worry, I won't let him sleep in your bed. I'll replace all those things."
"I'll bring you what you need tonight..."
Zhou Yan couldn't continue speaking. The words were stuck in his throat and wanted to burst out all at once, but he couldn't form a complete sentence.
The girl's eyes turned red almost instantly.
He was at a loss as to what to do when he wanted to wipe Sui Yu's tears. When he was about to touch her, he thought of the words "Your hands are so rough". He took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his pocket before he dared to wipe Sui Yu's tears.
Time goes back to the lunch break.
After harvesting the wheat, Zhou Yan went back to the pig farm as usual to say hello.
He was the most daring person in the village. When the higher-ups offered him this position, everyone was afraid of losing money and refused to take it, but he accepted it.
It was a bit tiring in the early stage, but now I can say that there is some prospect.
If we really carry out industrial concentration as Lu Chen said today, maybe we can even reach the county town.
Or... further.
He had a ridiculous fantasy in his mind. Maybe if he tried hard, he could reach the moon in the sky.
He paused, and the smile on his face froze when he saw Lu Chen sitting in the pig farm's accounting office.
The two sat opposite each other.
Lu Chen didn't keep the topic secret and went straight to the point, "Do you know Sui Yu's identity?"
Zhou Yan looked solemn and shook his head.
"Her parents were martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. This time she went to the countryside just to avoid the spotlight for some unavoidable reasons. She will return."
Lu Chen's words were full of confidence, firmly confirming the possibility of Sui Yu returning to the city, "She won't stay here forever."
"I don't know what method you used to make her and you... put the brakes on in time before making a mistake and give her a better future."
"She has a childhood sweetheart brother. Oh, that must be Huo Jianhua, whom you met during the week-long exchange program in Beijing during high school."
"Sixteen years old. As the general coordinator for receiving all the students from the twenty-six exchange sites, you probably know that his identity is not simple, right?"
"Sui Yu's path is destined to be different from yours. If it's really for her good, let her go."
"Starting tonight, I'll live in your house."
"Think about it yourself."
Lu Chen thought that his words had made the essence of the facts clear. If Zhou Yan continued to behave like that, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
Or... just don't care about anything?
He rubbed his brows irritably, asked Wang Peng to drive to the town, and personally sent a telegram to Huo Jianhua.
After he left, Zhou Yan sat there for a long time as if petrified.
It was not until everyone had gone to work that he wandered around the educated youth site in a confused state.
When I finally prepared myself mentally and told Sui Yu about this, my psychological defenses were completely broken when her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Don't cry. Stay at the educated youth camp for one night. I'll contact the village aunt for you and I'll definitely find a more comfortable place for you to stay."
Sui Yu dodged and refused to let him wipe her tears.
"If you don't let me live here, I won't live here anymore. I don't need you to find a better place for me. I'm not trash for you to toss around."
Sui Yu would easily burst into tears at the slightest emotional fluctuation. She was obviously more angry at the moment, but why did she look as if she was very sad?
She was scared. What if Zhou Yan really didn't care about her? What should she do if she went to the fields to harvest wheat by herself and almost fainted under the scorching sun?
She can't bear hardship!
But getting her to give in on her own initiative is even more impossible.
"Why don't you leave? If someone sees you, you'll be haunted by me forever."
Forever—to Zhou Yan, this word sounded almost like love words.
But at the same time, Lu Chen's words penetrated into his mind word by word.
Sui Yu is not the same kind of person as a country bumpkin like him. She is a spoiled girl from the city. Even if he takes advantage of her unwillingness to endure hardships and forces her to stay, will there be no good result?
The current situation is changing rapidly. Can a farmer who works hard in the fields protect her?
No.
He made an excuse to leave because he couldn't leave for too long. His mind was in a mess. Seeing that Sui Yu didn't want to talk to him, he left dejectedly.
Sui Yu was sniffing and picking up Qiao, she was sure Zhou Yan would come to coax her, but...
When I turned around, Zhou Yan was no longer standing in front of me. He had already left and even his back could not be seen.
Sui Yu was furious. She stamped her feet and put her hands on her hips in disbelief. She almost cried.
She was restless the whole afternoon. When Chen Muting and the others came back from work in the evening, they were surprised to find that Zhou Yan no longer brought them food.
"You...had a fight?" Chen Muting was a little curious.
Sui Yu raised her eyelashes and glanced at her, annoyed by the way she looked like she wanted to watch a good show.
Chen Muting: "I didn't think anything, it's just...you need to eat. It's impossible for you not to eat if he doesn't send you food. Wouldn't you starve to death?"
Sui Yu, who ate several small cakes in anger this afternoon and wasn't hungry at all, said: ...
She wouldn't be so stupid as to starve herself.
It’s not like I don’t have money or tickets, so I don’t need Zhou Yan to do anything to buy what I can.
But her expression easily led to misunderstandings from Chen Muting and Li Hong.
Li Hong brought a basin of pumpkin soup to soothe the heat, "How about some? It's sweet."
Sui Yu stretched her neck to take a look, but was immediately turned off by its appearance.
She wants to eat meat.
This is indeed something that is hard to buy even if you have money and tickets.
She couldn't find the black market, so even if she had money, it would be useless if she couldn't spend it.
If I ask the aunts in the village to buy it, I can buy one or two, but it is impossible to always have something for her.
Besides, she doesn't know how to do it.
If Zhou Yan could not get some allocated meat from the pig farm at any time, and if he did not go hunting in the mountains from time to time to get some fresh food, it seemed that she could not eat whatever she wanted.
Sui Yu sighed, and realized deeply that without Zhou Yan, she would have to suffer a lot just in terms of food.
Sui Yu, who had never suffered and did not like to suffer, waited until everyone was asleep, then quietly got up from the bed, dressed neatly, and walked to the old place behind the bungalow of the educated youth site to wait for Zhou Yan.
He didn't come!
He really didn't come!
Sui Yu was a little panicked. Without Zhou Yan, her food, clothing, housing and transportation would all be problems.
Who else would help her so unconditionally?
No, Zhou Yan promised Huo Jianhua to take care of her, and he can't go back on his word.
Now...she was just going to find him to fulfill his promise.
Sui Yu was a timid person, but in order to avoid suffering, she took the risk and walked in the familiar direction in the dark.
Halfway through the journey, he accidentally lost his footing and fell onto the ridge of the field, rolling all over in the mud.
She was so angry that she wanted to scold Zhou Yan again. It was so dark around her that she couldn't see anything clearly. In the blur, it seemed like something was approaching.
"Ah - are you a human or a ghost? Don't eat me... Zhou Yan, you dead thing, I'm going to find my brother to kill you..."
She wiped her face while crying, and soon she was out of breath and her face turned red from the hiccups.
This is not the most important thing. Sui Yu was so scared that she couldn't speak without thinking. In the middle of her sobbing, a big hand covered her face.
Sui Yu struggled in fear and opened her mouth to bite the man's palm tightly. At this time, she didn't care whether it was dirty or not, she just wanted to break free from him and run away.
A familiar rough voice sounded, with a strong sense of fear, "Don't cry, Sui Sui, I'm here."
"Don't let anyone hear it. It's not good for you."
Sui Yu's wildly beating heart suddenly slowed down. She broke free from him and kicked him, one kick after another, using all her strength.
"Didn't you say you didn't want me to live with you? What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
The moment she heard Zhou Yan's voice, Sui Yu instantly knew his attitude.
That's why she vented her anger and fear without any scruples.
Zhou Yan seemed to have noticed it as well, and let her kick and hit him as much as she wanted without fighting back or dodging.
After Sui Yu finally finished her rage, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, and in the faint light of the dying fire, the veins on his forehead were almost popping out.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I was wrong. I shouldn't have made you so sad..."
He couldn't imagine how much danger Sui Yu would encounter if she came out alone so late.
This time he just missed a step and fell off a small ridge of the field.
What about next time?
If he hadn't tossed and turned in sleep and come out to check the old place, who would have helped her if she fell here?
Zhou Yan's heart was tightly grasped and dropped from a great height to the ground, and the pain almost made him faint.
"Can I carry you back? Let me see if you are injured anywhere?" His voice was shaking.
Sui Yu couldn't hear anything, but the noise coming from the distant mountains in the quiet night made her scared. Zhou Yan took the initiative to give way, and she didn't object.
I put my arms around his neck and was carried sideways.
It was not until they arrived in the yard that they suddenly realized that Sui Yu's room was already occupied by another man.
When she thought of this, Sui Yu's anger, which had just subsided, rose again. She pinched the man's chin with two fingers and slapped him twice.
"It's all your fault."
If someone wants to stay here, why not just refuse directly?
He must have wanted to please the leaders above, so he agreed so quickly and fawningly.
Sui Yu has seen many people like this in the compound, but she doesn't want to believe that Zhou Yan is also such a person.
And...why, even if Zhou Yan did this, she didn't feel disgusted, but just disappointed?
Sui Yu couldn't figure out the difference between the two. She only knew that she was extremely angry.
Zhou Yan was not angry even though he was beaten. He stood in the yard holding Sui Yu for a long time before pushing open the door of his room.
Compared with Sui Yu's original residence, the layout of his room is similar, but it looks completely different.
The bed was simply covered with a mattress made from torn palm leaves, without even a thin quilt.
There wasn't even much furniture. The place that Sui Yu had originally thought was full and small seemed particularly empty in his room.
Sui Yu felt that his bed was too hard even when she sat on it.
She reached out and patted Zhou Yan's shoulder, stopping him from putting her on the bed. "Don't put me on the bed. I just rolled around on the floor a few times. Isn't it dirty?"
How unrefined is this person's life?
Zhou Yan paused, glanced around the room, and finally put Sui Yu on the bed, "I'll change the sheets later."
Other places are harder, and Sui Yu must not be used to sitting there.
When she was at home, he even made the seat cushions soft by sewing them and stuffing them with the cotton from a whole winter coat.
But he didn't have the hands to take it now, so Sui Yu had to sit on his bed for now.
He lit the kerosene lamp and the room suddenly became bright.
Just at this moment, Zhou Yan's gaze suddenly froze, and red marks began to appear at the corners of his eyes.
The light was dim just now, and Sui Yu was talking to him in a very good spirit, so Zhou Yan thought it was nothing serious.
But now when I turned on the light, I saw that the girl's hair was a mess, with a few grass roots scattered on it.
Her face was stained gray by the dirt from the fields, and she had been crying again, like a kitten that had been abandoned and injured in the rain.
So pitiful.
Zhou Yan suddenly slapped himself, causing the dull pain on the inside of his elbow from being kicked just now.
But he still felt that this pain was not enough.
He is such a inhuman being!
Sui Yu was startled by his sudden action, pursed her lips and covered the other side of his face that was not hit, "You also know that you are wrong, right?"
"Do you know how scared I was? You came over to me without saying anything, making me think... you were really going too far."
Zhou Yan lowered his head and continued to rub Sui Yu's hands.
He had been waiting outside the educated youth center since the beginning.
He saw Sui Yu coming out of the bungalow, stamping her feet anxiously and angrily. When she wanted to leave, she recalled what Lu Chen had said to her during the day.
If he really cares about Sui Yu and really wants her to be well, the best way is to stop contacting her.
Zhou Yan knew in his heart that if he kept getting closer, he couldn't be sure whether those despicable thoughts would take over his brain and make him do something that would make the girl blame him in the future.
So he hesitated.
This hesitation almost got her hurt.
No, I'm already injured.
Zhou Yan's thick eyelashes were already covered with moisture. He raised his eyes, and all the chaotic thoughts were thrown out of his mind. He only remembered that the person in front of him was the one he wanted to take care of the most.
Even if...even if he wants to avoid suspicion, is it okay for him to just take care of her life, just like before, without letting others find out?
Could he have her for a brief moment, in the short time before she returned to the city?
Don't cross the line, just let Suiyu live a good life, just like a dog needs the dependence of its owner, and let Suiyu get the best care in the dog's territory.
When it was time to leave, he would just howl a few words and everything would return to normal.
enough.
Zhou Yan's drooping eyebrows were visibly filled with energy, and his whole body was red as if he had eaten some magical herb. He rubbed and wiped her hands.
Sui Yu was about to say something when he heard the door of the next room suddenly open.
A slight "crunch" sound petrified both of them on the spot.
"Zhou Yan, are you still awake?"
A steady voice came along with a knock on the door.
