The group ate and chatted until very late.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone go home and get some rest!" Ye Sanqiang said, standing up slightly drunk.

"Alright, everyone, let's leave. Sanqiang, come to my house!" The village chief stepped forward and helped Ye Sanqiang up, and the two slowly walked out.

Then, the sound of a car horn came from outside the door, which surprised Uncle San.

"It's not far from the village chief's house, so why did we get in a car?"

"Maybe he's tired, drive faster," Ye Yun said.

Su Yue snorted. She knew perfectly well what Ye Sanqiang was thinking; he was driving and had no intention of staying in the village.

After tidying up the table, Ye Yun saw off his third uncle and the others, then locked the door from the inside.

Back in the kitchen, Lin Shuyue was washing dishes.

"Let me do it, sister-in-law," Ye Yun said as she walked over.

"No need, there are only a few left."

Just then, Su Yue came to the door and said to Ye Yun, "Yunzi, your sister-in-law wants to take a bath."

"Ah, take a shower!" Ye Yun scratched his head and said awkwardly, "We haven't installed a water heater at home yet. How about I boil some water and you can make do with a shower in the bathroom, sister-in-law?"

Su Yue frowned slightly, then smiled gently and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you. By the way, I don't have any pajamas to wear tonight, so I hope you won't mind using this shirt!"

Looking at the white shirt in Su Yue's hand, Ye Yun shook his head and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't mind, sister-in-law."

"Hehe, then I won't be polite."

After the water was boiled, Su Yue went to take a bath. Pan An breathed a sigh of relief, stretched, looked at Lin Shuyue, and said, "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard too. After Su Yue is done bathing, you should take a bath too!"

"No need, it's too cold, I don't want to wash, I'm going to sleep." After saying that, Lin Shuyue walked towards the inner room without saying anything more.

"Are you angry again?" Ye Yun sighed as he watched her retreating figure.

For some reason, Lin Shuyue and Su Yue just don't get along. Every time she sees Su Yue, she always has a cold face and looks unhappy.

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and the scene before him made Ye Yun's blood boil.

Su Yue walked out wearing her white shirt, revealing two long, smooth, and fair legs, without any pants. Fortunately, the shirt was a bit large, providing some coverage.

Upon seeing Ye Yun, Su Yue paused for a moment, then blushed and asked, "Why didn't you go back to your room?"

"Uh... I'm going to take a shower and wait for my sister-in-law to come out," Ye Yun explained.

"Okay, then you go wash up. I'm going back to my room first." After saying that, Su Yue calmly walked towards her room.

Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounding; what had just happened was truly too hot.

After pouring freshly boiled water into a basin in the kitchen, Ye Yun went to the bathroom. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong body fragrance, which made his calm heart restless again.

The rain continued to fall, and many people's hearts, like the rain itself, were restless and uneasy.

After taking a shower, Ye Yun returned to his room wearing only shorts.

The room was pitch black. He closed the door, turned on the light, and walked to the wardrobe, intending to find a short-sleeved shirt to wear.

As Ye Yun turned around after putting on his clothes, he was so frightened that he staggered backward. He didn't know when Su Yue had been sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), stretching out her long legs and staring straight at him.

"Sister-in-law, when did you come in?"

"While you're taking a shower," Su Yue said with a smile.

"No wonder. But you came in so early, why didn't you turn on the lights? You scared me."

"I was thinking of surprising you when you opened the door, but I didn't expect you to change your clothes right away."

Ye Yun smiled helplessly, sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and looked at Su Yue, saying, "Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"I can't sleep, I wanted to chat with you, talk to you." Su Yue reached out and stroked Ye Yun's hair, her eyes full of tenderness.

Having just taken a shower, Su Yue's body fragrance was captivating, and Ye Yun could smell it.

Similarly, Su Yue was also captivated by the allure of young men's hormones, wanting only to spend more time with them and get closer to them.

"Your hair is still wet. Bring me a towel and I'll dry it for you."

"oh!"

Ye Yun got up, fetched a towel, and handed it to Su Yue.

"Sit down!" Su Yue pointed to the side.

"Okay." Ye Yun obediently sat down, and Su Yue got up and knelt behind him, gently wiping his hair with a towel.

"Your hair is a bit soft, you should get it permed and styled to look even more handsome," Su Yue said while drying her hair.

"I don't really understand. Going to a barbershop is just for getting a haircut, nothing more," Ye Yun said.

"It's okay, your sister-in-law will take you another day and give you a cool and stylish haircut. I guarantee you'll be the envy of everyone."

"Oh, then let's forget about it!"

"Never mind, why?"

"This is the countryside; being too fashionable would be ostentatious."

Su Yue said nonchalantly, "So what if you're flashy? Being handsome is your asset. Just like me, I don't care what they say, I dress however I want to look beautiful."

“It’s different. Sister-in-law, you only come back occasionally, while I’m mostly in the village. It’s still a bit awkward.”

Su Yue looked displeased, pinched his ear, and said, "What are you being stubborn for? I don't believe you're afraid of what others say. Isn't it better to make yourself more handsome? Do you think your sister-in-law is trying to harm you? Your sister-in-law is only doing this for your own good."

Seeing that Su Yue was angry, Ye Yun quickly chimed in, "Sister-in-law is right, I'll listen to you."

"Hmph, that's more like it."

After drying his hair, Su Yue turned Ye Yun around, tidied his hairstyle a bit, and praised him with eyes full of love: "Not bad, much more handsome. Standing at the school gate, you'll definitely attract a lot of beautiful girls asking for your contact information."

"That's an exaggeration. I'm not a big star, nor am I Daniel Wu."

"Hehe, you're way more handsome than any celebrity, at least that's what your sister-in-law thinks," Su Yue said, pinching his cheek.

Ye Yun scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes darting around, mainly because the other person's clothes were mostly unbuttoned, making it easy for him to enjoy the view.

"Um... Sister-in-law, would you like something to drink? There are chilled drinks in the fridge." Sensing the slightly ambiguous atmosphere, Ye Yun quickly changed the subject.

"Drinks? Do you have beer? I'd like some beer."

"Yes, I'll go get it." With that, Ye Yun got up and left.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Ye Yun opened the refrigerator and took out four cans of chilled beer.

As he stepped out of the kitchen, he instinctively looked into the inner room, which was pitch black.

Back in the room, Ye Yun closed the door, sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed), opened a can of beer, and handed it to Su Yue.

Su Yue took a sip and exclaimed, "So refreshing! It's definitely more refreshing to drink it chilled."

Ye Yun also opened a can and drank it. The icy feeling instantly reached his brain, and he couldn't help but shiver.
