316: Pretending to be ignorant

Shao Xia knew that something must have happened to Yu Xiaoye last night. She didn't want others to talk about it, so she said to others:

"No one's been possessed by evil spirits. Hurry up and get up, wash up and go eat."

The messy-haired people fell back on their pillows in disappointment, ready to stay in bed for a while before getting up.

Shao Xia had no choice but to get up first and then wake up the student on duty today.

The others then got up one after another, put on their clothes, and folded their bedding.

When Yu Xiaoye was the only one left on the kang, she still covered her head and refused to show her face.

Shao Xia looked at her watch. It was getting late. If she didn't get up, she would miss out on even the time to eat. She dragged Yu Xiaoye out of the bed.

Yu Xiaoye felt listless and uncomfortable all over.

It's like I just had a serious illness.

She really wanted to lie on the kang all day, but thinking about the rehearsal, she had to force herself to get up despite her sore body.

Because she didn't get enough rest last night and kept thinking about Zhou Ziheng, she was not in good shape the whole day.

It would be fine if she did other work, and it didn't matter if she was in poor condition, because her hands and brain could be separated and do their own things.

But for dancers, mental state is crucial, more important than professional dance moves.

The mental state directly affects the overall performance effect.

Throughout the day, she made frequent mistakes in her dance moves. Either she lifted her legs too low, or she memorized the movements incorrectly, or she took the wrong steps, taking eight steps instead of ten, or ten steps instead of eight.

Once she made a mistake, everything went haywire.

She also has her own ballet, which was created entirely by her own free will. Not only did she control the dance of the entire stage play, she was also responsible for coordinating the music, singing, and coordination with the dance of the entire show.

Now that she is out of form, the whole ballet falls into a state of confusion.

Liang Qin noticed that something was wrong with Yu Xiaoye today. He used to be such a smart and clever person, but now his eyes were darting around and he had a new idea every now and then.

But today he looked dull, his eyes were lifeless, and he made mistakes frequently.

Liang Qin criticized unhappily:

"Yu Xiaoye, what's wrong with you today? You look like you haven't woken up yet!"

When the girls in the propaganda team saw Liang Qin criticizing Yu Xiaoye in public, they all kept silent, fearing that they would be in trouble.

Some are gloating.

Shao Xia boldly lied for Yu Xiaoye:

"Sister Liang, Xiaoye is not feeling well."

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Shao Xia couldn't make up any more stories and looked at Yu Xiaoye.

Yu Xiaoye didn't know how to continue and his mind was confused.

Seeing that Yu Xiaoye was like an eggplant hit by frost, with no fighting power, Xia Ning sneered and said:

"Sister Liang, Yu Xiaoye was possessed by an evil spirit last night."

“Puff—”

Several girls covered their mouths and laughed.

Liang Qin asked seriously:

"What the hell happened?"

"Ask her. We don't know either."

Liang Qin looked at Yu Xiaoye again.

Yu Xiaoye still kept silent.

If this had happened in the past, if Xia Ning had dared to ridicule her like this, she would have retorted back, but today she refused to say a word.

Liang Qin suddenly realized something from Yu Xiaoye's tired face.

Liang Qin was an experienced person, and she sensitively guessed that this matter was definitely related to Zhou Ziheng!

Before this, everything was normal for Yu Xiaoye.

Zhou Ziheng just arrived yesterday, and Yu Xiaoye started to experience this situation today.

Did something happen between the two of them yesterday?

When Liang Qin guessed the crux of the problem, she stopped blaming Yu Xiaoye.

She walked up to Yu Xiaoye and asked with concern:

"Would you like to take a break?"

Yu Xiaoye said with all his strength: i.c0m

"It's okay, Sister Liang, I just didn't sleep well last night, but I definitely won't affect the rehearsal!"

Liang Qin nodded with satisfaction.

After a pause, he said:

"If there's anything you can't solve yourself, you can tell me."

Yu Xiaoye's eyes flashed, he shook his head and said nothing.

But two blushes appeared on both cheeks and she lowered her head.

When Liang Qin saw her shy look, she understood everything.

It seems that we still have to find Zhou Ziheng!

————

On the first day of Zhou Ziheng's official investigation, he did not immediately start investigating the case of Zhang Guangtian being beaten.

Because this case was indeed too small and not worth causing too much sensation, he deliberately postponed the investigation for a few days and did something else first.

On the first day of his stay, he followed a group of farm workers to work in the fields and learn about the situation in the fields.

Zhou Ziheng grew up in a military compound and continued to live in the army when he grew up. Before coming to the Great Northern Wilderness, he actually knew nothing about farming.

It was only after he became the farm manager that he gradually understood how to farm, learned how to drive a harvester, and even learned how to repair various agricultural machinery.

In the 1970s, the Great Northern Wilderness was the most mechanized place in the country.

At that time, the Corps farms already knew how to use airplanes to spray pesticides.

Some large farms have already achieved full mechanization of operations from tilling the soil, sowing, irrigation, pesticides, to harvesting, with each person managing dozens of acres of farmland.

This is unimaginable in other places.

Of course, the harsh environment in the Great Northern Wilderness is unimaginable in other places.

On this day, Zhou Ziheng followed the agricultural and industrial team to the fields and was responsible for pumping water for irrigation.

After a busy day, when it was almost time to finish work, he personally drove the tractor and took people and farm tools back to the farm.

When I arrived at the main street of the field office, I saw Liang Qin standing on the side of the road looking around with a serious expression on her face, as if she was wondering who she was going to settle the score with.

Zhou Zi

Heng knew without a doubt that they were here to settle accounts with him.

It was probably that Yu Xiaoye said something to Liang Qin, or asked Liang Qin to convey a message to reject him.

Maybe something else happened.

It's definitely not a good thing anyway.

Zhou Ziheng drove the tractor in front of Liang Qin and stopped it, asking all the farmers and workers in the truck to get out.

After everyone had left, Liang Qin climbed onto the tractor bed.

Zhou Ziheng said nothing, restarted the tractor and drove towards the repair shop.

Because the tractor was rumbling and making a lot of noise, Liang Qin couldn't hear what was being said, so she didn't say anything.

After waiting for the tractor to stop at the door of the repair shop, Zhou Ziheng turned off the engine and asked calmly:

"What's wrong?"

"Director Zhou, don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth."

Zhou Ziheng smiled:

"What did she tell you?"

"She didn't tell me anything. In fact, she never told me anything about you. But you, what did you do last night?"

Zhou Ziheng didn't want to say it.

What happened last night was a little secret in his heart, and he didn't want to tell anyone about it, not even Liang Qin.

He jumped off the tractor and got on the back truck bed, dragging down a water pump that needed repair.

He walked towards the gate of the repair shop carrying a water pump weighing fifty or sixty kilograms.

Seeing that Zhou Ziheng was avoiding her, Liang Qin thought that Zhou Ziheng had really done something shameful to Yu Xiaoye, so she jumped off the tractor and chased after him:

"Director Zhou, please explain yourself clearly!"

"Director Liang, I don't need to report what happened last night to anyone. It's my private matter!"
