"Go into the workshop."

Without hesitation, Ye Yun waved her hand and turned to enter the production workshop.

Erdanzi had no choice but to follow.

The sewing machines in the workshop were clattering away. Newcomers might find it deafening and unable to hear anyone speaking, but those who got used to it didn't mind.

The soldier was supervising the construction when he saw Ye Yun come in and instinctively glanced outside.

Sure enough, he saw Xun Xiangbin at the factory gate.

His eyes darkened slightly.

He stepped forward to block Ye Yun's view, and said with his hands behind his back, "You shouldn't come out now. I think this person might have something wrong with his head."

Ye Yun curled her lips, "Be more confident, remove the 'I'm afraid' part."

Soldier: "..."

When Erdanzi heard what Bingge said, he seemed to understand something and slapped his forehead, saying, "Sister-in-law, is this the dangerous person that Brother Zheng was talking about?"

Ye Yun: "..."

What did I call you here for?

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Erdanzi quickly apologized, forcing a smile, "Brother Zheng only said that there was a dangerous person around you, but he didn't tell me in detail. I was a bit confused at the time and thought that the person outside was just a madman from the neighborhood."

Ye Yun: "..."

That's the madman from the neighborhood.

However, her madness is somewhat related to this.

The soldier poured Ye Yun a cup of hot water. Ye Yun took a small sip and saw Erdanzi still standing in front of her, looking on expectantly.

During his time in the city, Erdanzi did gain weight, his cheeks were no longer as sunken as before, his physique was much stronger, and he looked more energetic than before.

He used to look like a skinny monkey.

They're completely different now.

If he went to propose to Qianqian's family in this state, he probably wouldn't have been so disliked, right?

Ye Yun glanced at Erdanzi up and down, then asked with interest, "Shun'er?"

"Um?"

Erdanzi knew they were calling him and reacted quickly, looking at Ye Yun, "Sister-in-law, what's up?"

Have you written home recently?

"Hey, why write a letter?" Erdanzi scratched his head and laughed sheepishly. "There aren't many literate people among us, and I'm not very literate either, so there's no such thing as writing a letter."

Ye Yun: "..."

That was a miscalculation.

Have you called home?

"I did," Erdanzi replied immediately, chuckling. "Brother Qin Zheng is very kind to me. Last time, he even made me go to his office to call home. Everything's fine at home. My little niece is well-behaved. I sent my salary home, and my mother even made me a cotton-padded jacket. Look, I'm wearing it!"

He blurted everything out.

He longed to open his heart to Ye Yun.

But after the joy, there was still a hint of melancholy in his eyes, which he hid well behind his smile.

Ye Yun could tell that he was genuinely happy, but she could also see the loneliness he was hiding.

He has everything: money, a promising future, but the girl he loves is gone.

In mountain villages, marriage is all about speed. Once a girl or boy is engaged, the wedding is usually just a matter of ten days to half a month.

When Erdanzi first came out, he said that Qianqian was engaged.

Now, it's estimated that Qianqian has already married into that family and has completely become someone else's daughter-in-law.

Erdanzi and Qianqian are no longer meant to be.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Ye Yun comforted her.

Erdanzi lowered his eyes dejectedly, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips, and said softly, "Yeah, I know, I'm not at the age where I can't find a wife yet..."

"ah!"

Suddenly a scream rang out.

Ye Yun's teacup trembled slightly. Looking up, she saw a dark figure rush into the factory building—
