Outside, under the moonlight, on the courtyard wall, Zhou Jingyun, who had tossed a pheasant into Ruan Miaomiao's yard, stared expectantly at the wooden door, just like last time.

However, the woman was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing a sound coming from inside, Zhou Jingyun immediately realized something was wrong and quickly jumped down from the courtyard wall, nervously heading towards the house.

Reaching the door, Zhou Jingyun pressed his face against it and asked into the room:

"Ruan Zhiqing, this is Zhou Jingyun. How are you?"

Hearing Zhou Jingyun's voice from inside the room, Ruan Miaomiao seemed to have met a savior. She first took out a painkiller from her spatial storage and placed it under her pillow before replying to the outside:

"Comrade Zhou, I'm not feeling well right now. Could you please boil some water for me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingyun became extremely anxious and pushed the door twice, only to find that it was bolted from the inside.

He said "Excuse me" to someone inside, then poked a hole in the paper window, reached in with a stick, and pushed open the latch behind the door...

From the haystack three zhang away from Ruan's house, Er Laizi saw a man jump into Ruan Miaomiao's yard. After a while, there was still no scream from a woman inside, and he cursed inwardly:

Damn it, you slut, how dare you cuckold me! You've only been in the countryside for a short time and you've already hooked up with some random guy.

Hmph, she moved out of the educated youth settlement to live alone, she must be doing it to seduce men.

If that man could do it, then I certainly can too.

There are people here tonight, I'll come back tomorrow night.

As for why he's not going now, it's because the man on the courtyard wall was too tall, and he's worried he can't beat him.

Otherwise, I'll definitely make that adulterer pay!
