As he spoke, He Chaoyang lifted his foot to walk out.

At this moment, Wang Chunni was hiding behind Xu Laidi. The sight of her, who was twice as big as Xu Laidi, trying to shrink behind the thin and small Xu Laidi was quite comical.

Even He Chaoyang, who was usually serious, couldn't help but smile slightly.

He Chaoyang's face was already handsome, but his smile made him even more captivating.

Xu Laidi, who had been pushed to the front by Wang Chunni, looked up and met He Chaoyang's smiling face, which made her heart skip a beat and her face turn red involuntarily.

Xu Laidi only woke up with a start after He Chaoyang had already reached the outer room, and hurriedly called out, "Comrade He, wait a moment."

After calling out to He Chaoyang, Xu Laidi finally shook off Wang Chunni, who was clinging to her back like a koala. Looking at Chen Shuning, she said, "Shuning, something happened with Zhao Zhiqing. She was taken away by the villagers, so Brother Feng and Sister Shumei want all the educated youth to go to the front room for a meeting."

Although Chen Shuning was somewhat puzzled by Xu Laidi's sudden call to He Chaoyang, he didn't pay much attention to it, assuming that Xu Laidi had something to discuss with He Chaoyang.

So when Xu Laidi said she was going to a meeting in the front yard, he smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll put on a cotton-padded coat and go."

As she spoke, she called out to He Chaoyang, whose footsteps were clearly coming back from outside, "Brother He, please wait outside for a while. I need to talk to you."

He was initially puzzled as to why Xu Laidi had called out to He Chaoyang, but after hearing what Xu Laidi said to Chen Shuning, he understood.

It seems the young lady was quite thoughtful, considering that Shu Ning's foot was inconvenient, which is why she stopped him and asked him to help carry her to the front yard.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Shuning finished speaking, Xu Laidi hurriedly explained, "No, no, Shuning, I didn't have anything to say to Comrade He. I was just thinking that your leg is inconvenient, and it's dark outside, so Chunni and I don't dare to carry you. What if you fall and can't see the road clearly?"

That's why I stopped Comrade He, thinking of having her give you a ride."

Xu Laidi's words froze Chen Shuning, who had already moved to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). Before she could react, He Chaoyang, who had returned, had already entered the room.

He picked up Chen Shuning's thick cotton-padded coat from the side of the kang (a heated brick bed) and draped it over Chen Shuning's shoulders. Then, he naturally picked her up and carried her outside.

As he reached the door, he didn't forget to say to the two people behind him, "Could you please lock the door for me?"

He Chaoyang's domineering manner made Chen Shuning blush bright red once. If this continued, Chen Shuning would start to wonder if she was in danger of having a stroke.
