Before Bai Panyang could answer, a voice suddenly appeared: "Bai Panyang, why are you bullying this little girl!"

Looking over, I saw Shao Qin and his lackey Xu Jin. It was the lackey who had just said those words.

The two men walked over and looked at Pan Yang with disgust.

"What are you up to now?" Shao Qin frowned, he really didn't want to run into Bai Panyang.

Zhang Zhouyang looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, somewhat bewildered: "I... he didn't bully me."

"You're a man?" Xu Jin was somewhat surprised, then took a step back, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes: "Bai Panyang forced you to dress like this?"

“No, that’s not it.” Zhang Zhouyang shook his head upon hearing this.

Pan Yang was speechless. He grabbed Zhang Zhouyang's wrist and pulled him behind him, saying, "I think you guys are the ones who are bullying people."

Xu Jin was about to mention Pan Yang when he heard this, but Shao Qin stopped him.

"No matter what, you'd better avoid bothering others." Shao Qin looked at Pan Yang, then left with Xu Jin.

Seeing that they had left, Zhang Zhouyang glanced at Huan Yang's expression, which seemed unchanged, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Can I go home now?"

“You’re not surprised,” Pan Yang said. Although he didn’t quite understand why Zhang Zhouyang dressed like this, he had no reason to force him to change these small things.

"Huh?" Zhang Zhouyang was stunned for two seconds before realizing that Pan Yang was answering his question: "Thank you."

In the following days, Zhang Zhouyang received trinkets from Pan Yang almost every day. At first, he refused, but he found that even if he refused, Pan Yang would just give them to him, so he gave up.

One day at noon, Zhang Zhouyang was instructed to deliver lunch to Zhang Jianguo, who was around 20 years old and a primary school teacher in the town, but whose educational background was only primary school.

However, how many people are good at studying these days? Wang Cuihua would bring him meals to school every day, but this time she had to go to town to buy fabric, so she asked Zhang Zhouyang to bring him the meals.

Zhang Zhouyang stood at the school gate, watching the children eating and playing during their lunch break. He slowly walked in and placed the food on Zhang Jianguo's small wooden table.

Zhang Jianguo, sitting in his chair, heard the noise and, upon recognizing Zhang Zhouyang, became somewhat impatient: "Tsk, what are you doing here?"

"Mom has something to do." Zhang Zhouyang stared blankly at the words on the blackboard.

"What, you want to learn to read?" Zhang Jianguo couldn't help but laugh when he saw his appearance: "You, who look neither human nor ghost, want to learn to read?"

Zhang Zhouyang withdrew his gaze, opened his mouth but ultimately did not refute: "I'm leaving first."

"Ha, some people need to recognize their own limitations. We're already being generous by keeping someone like you in our family. Get lost!" Zhang Jianguo rolled his eyes and shouted.

After delivering the food, he went to the fields alone. To be honest, he had heard Zhang Jianguo say this countless times, and he no longer cared.

"Sister-in-law! Stop working, our boss has brought you some good food!" Gou Dan's voice came from beside me.

Zhang Zhouyang looked up and saw several figures by the field. Among them, Pan Yang's figure was the most obvious. Pan Yang always wore that white shirt, looking clean and aloof.

"I'm not hungry." Zhang Zhouyang shook his head, and as a result, he was dragged out of the field by Pan Yang and a metal lunchbox was stuffed into his hand.

Upon opening it, he found meat and snow-white rice inside. He swallowed hard but didn't touch his chopsticks.

Erdai immediately said, "Sister-in-law, please eat it. This was brought from home by the eldest brother especially for you."

Zhang Zhouyang looked at Fan Yang, whose eyes were fixed on him. Fan Yang's dark eyes held no other emotion, yet they inexplicably warmed his heart.

"Thank you." Zhang Zhouyang didn't stand on ceremony anymore. He ate very quickly, as if someone was trying to take the food from him, and almost choked.

Pan Yang couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he gently patted his back and handed him a water bottle.

Zhang Zhouyang blushed slightly with embarrassment, casually wiped her mouth, and looked at Huan Yang with expectant eyes: "Can you teach me to write?"

"Writing? Sure." Pan Yang nodded.

Dog Egg's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed a twig from the side and stuffed it into Pan Yang's hand: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother's handwriting is even better than Er Dai's! It's just a pity that I can't read either, so please write one, eldest brother!"

Pan Yang was reluctant, but after seeing the looks in the eyes of the others, he had no choice but to pick up a twig and write on the dirt road.

"What are these characters? Why are they so long?" Dogbelt looked at the characters on the ground, somewhat bewildered.

Erdai shook his head helplessly: "The eldest brother wrote a poem. 'The boat drifts lightly on the water, the wind blows gently against my clothes.'"

Dog Egg chuckled foolishly: "I see. So, does the boat in this poem refer to my sister-in-law?"

Zhang Zhouyang felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, but for some reason, he felt that the poem was familiar but he couldn't remember it. After a long while, he looked at Pan Yang and said, "I want to know how to write your name."

Upon hearing this, Pan Yang wrote two characters on the ground: Pan Yang.

"It's beautiful. Can you tell me what it means?" Zhang Zhouyang's eyes were clear, and there was even some admiration and love that he himself was unaware of.

"I long for the sun, I yearn for a ray of sunshine." As he spoke, Pan Yang casually tossed the branch to the ground.

"Yearning for a ray of sunshine." Zhang Zhouyang repeated softly, looking at the two words on the ground. Logically speaking, someone like Fan Yang should be sunshine himself.

Da Niu shook his head: "I don't understand. I still think my name sounds better. Da Niu is as strong as an ox."

"What? My name, Dog Egg, sounds better!"

“Brother, you’re talking nonsense. There are several people in the next village named Gou Dan. It doesn’t sound good at all,” Da Niu retorted.

"Tch, if you ask me, the names of the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest brother sound better," Er Dai chimed in as he watched the two arguing.

This sentence immediately drew agreement from Da Niu and Gou Dan.

Zhang Zhouyang chuckled softly, and Gou Dan was immediately shocked: "Sister-in-law laughed!"

Erdai rolled his eyes: "What you're saying is as obvious as nonsense."

Da Niu scratched his head sheepishly: "To be honest, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen the boss smile."

"That's right." Erdai and Gou Dan looked at each other and realized that their boss had changed a lot. He didn't smile as much, but he was more generous with his money and was better than before.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhouyang looked at Pan Yang, who was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I'm naturally not one to smile," Pan Yang said. "I'm all about the aloof, god-like image, how could I be like you guys?"

Gou Dan was a little confused, but after seeing Pan Yang's look, he quickly nodded: "Right, right, what's that saying again? Steady and aloof!"

Zhang Zhouyang's smile remained unchanged despite their antics. He said to Pan Yang, "Could you teach me to write often from now on?"

Pan Yang nodded expressionlessly.

"Thank you." Joy appeared in Zhang Zhouyang's eyes. To be honest, he still felt that Pan Yang was the ray of sunshine.
