Su Nan secretly glanced at Chen while tucking the hair around her ears.

The man was wearing black clothes and black pants. He had a very cold temperament. There was no expression on his angular face. His eyes, as dark as the abyss, stared ahead, as if he was in a daze, without a trace of fluctuation.

He habitually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with his slender fingers, but the next second he seemed to remember something and put it back.

Su Nan was sharp enough to see the name of the cigarettes. It was a local brand in Shanghai, expensive and difficult to get. Usually, only major factories would give a box to leaders during the New Year.

She knew this because Su Qiangguo, as deputy director of a steel plant workshop, had once received a box during Chinese New Year.

Note that it is a certain time! It is not always the case.

This guy must have a high-ranking leader in his family, otherwise he wouldn't be able to smoke this kind of cigarette at such a young age. But why would he become an educated youth if he has such connections?

"Su Nan, I need some hot water, do you want it? I can help you." Liu Yu took out a ceramic cup from somewhere, stood up and asked.

This question also interrupted Su Nan's thoughts.

"No, thank you."

The train was moving slowly and the night was coming quietly.

Perhaps because they were not familiar with each other, few people talked in the carriage, so most people fell asleep one after another in the silence.

Some people started snoring and grinding their teeth, and the air was filled with all kinds of strange smells mixed together, which was really painful.

In such an environment, Su Nan managed to stay up until the second half of the night.

I yawned, but eventually I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. My forehead pressed against the glass window, sliding up and down as the car bumped around, hitting it from time to time. I slept very restlessly.

After a while, he was awakened by the pain of being hit. Su Nan opened his eyes unhappily and raised his hand to rub his forehead.

In a daze, I saw in the moonlight that Liu Yu was sleeping soundly with her head resting on the shoulder of the man next to her, and she was even snoring slightly.

Su Nan subconsciously moved his gaze to his hand, looked at it for a moment, and came to a conclusion, muttering in a low voice: "It must be comfortable."

With broad shoulders and smooth arm muscle lines, he looks like a good "pillow".

"Comrade, lend me your shoulder, just for a moment, I promise."

Su Nan leaned over and whispered in his ear. Seeing that he didn't respond, she thought he must be asleep. Then she leaned her head against him with peace of mind.

He was so brave that he rubbed it twice and found a position that suited him best, not afraid of waking the other person up.

Su Nan raised her hands and swore that she really just wanted to close her eyes and have a good rest for a while, but she closed her eyes and fell asleep without knowing when.

In the darkness, listening to the steady breathing coming from his ears, Zhou Rang slowly opened his eyes.

A faint sweet fragrance filled his nose, and he tried his best to control his increasingly heavy breathing. His throat rolled, and the red on his neck greedily climbed up to the tips of his ears.

Didn’t we agree that it would only be for a while?

Early the next morning, Su Nan was awakened by all kinds of rustling noises and voices. He frowned and half opened his eyes, and what he saw was his familiar floral blanket.

After my brain froze for two seconds, I suddenly remembered what I did last night. I sat up abruptly, but there was no one around me.

"I think they haven't been discovered." Otherwise, how could he not wake her up.

Thinking of this, I feel at ease.

After changing trains to Huizhou, the capital of Jiangbei Province, we took a three-hour bus ride to Sang'an County.

There are overlapping mountains and peaks. A narrow mountain road winds for dozens of miles, with high mountains on one side and a big river on the other.

The lush vegetation on the roadside blocks some of the scorching summer sun, bringing a touch of coolness.

The breeze blew the girl's hair on her cheeks and fluttered the unknown wild flowers pinned behind her ears. Everyone looked up inadvertently and could not take their eyes away.

This Su Zhiqing is really good-looking, but she is a little too delicate.

I saw Su Nan sitting in the corner of the tractor, holding a big umbrella tightly in his slender arms, as if he wanted to shrink into the umbrella.

This is in stark contrast to the other lesbians who are carefree and basking in the sun.

"Nannan, aren't you tired? Can I help you hold it for a while?"

After spending the past two days together, Comrade Liu Yu and Comrade Su Nan have established a relationship like that of revolutionary comrades, and they have successfully changed the way they address each other from their full names to their nicknames.

Hearing this, Su Nan shook his head vigorously and said, "No need."

After a while, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the sweaty Liu Yu, and asked puzzledly: "Are you really not going to hold an umbrella with me?"

The weather in July is as hot and stuffy as being in a sauna.

All these were bearable for Su Nan, but leaving her exposed to the scorching sun for several hours would be worse than killing her.

You should know that long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause skin aging, dull skin tone, pigmentation, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and even allergies and rashes in severe cases.

What we mean is, a whole big act of rejection.

Although I took out the sunscreen from the system in advance and applied it all over my body, as the saying goes, chemical sunscreen is far less effective than physical sunscreen.

That's why there was a scene where she was alone in the corner holding an umbrella.

But before Liu Yu could reply, a female comrade sitting opposite them spoke first: "Tsk, the eldest daughter of a capitalist is not as good as someone else."

The strange words instantly quieted down the noisy environment.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Yu pointed at the man excitedly. Can the word "capitalist" be said casually?

"Hmph, isn't it? Everyone goes to the countryside to support and help the development of remote mountainous areas. If everyone is like her, wouldn't it be a mess?" Qin Xiaolan was full of indignation and glared at Liu Yu.

Su Tiantian, who was sitting next to Qin Xiaolan, smiled imperceptibly and quickly replied, "Comrade Xiaolan is right."

"Su Nan, if you can't stand being in the sun right now, you might as well go back home. After all, there's still a lot of farm work to do after we get to the village, and you'll spend even longer in the sun in the fields."

There was a lot of sincerity in his words, as if he really cared about Su Nan and was giving her advice. Others also began to whisper, and some even nodded in agreement.

But it is not possible to go back to the countryside whenever you want. Other educated youth have been in the countryside for more than ten years and have not even seen the prospect of returning home.

Su Nan rolled her eyes in annoyance and thought to herself, "What does it have to do with you whether I hold an umbrella or not, or whether I am afraid of the sun? You really have no business being so nosy since you live by the sea."

But she pretended to look pitiful and weak, her eyes were red, and soon a few tears fell. She looked very delicate, as if she had suffered great injustice.

"Why are you crying? Did we say something wrong?" Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian were stunned. They didn't understand what she was trying to do. Did she think that pretending to cry could change other people's opinions?
