Chapter 389
In the kitchen, Sufen was the only one busy working.
Yue Xun came over with the bowls and chopsticks and asked her, "Where should I put these?"
Su Fen glanced at Yue Xun, then lowered her eyes and pointed to the pot, saying, "Put it in the pot. I'll wash it all."
"Okay." Yue Xun put the bowl and chopsticks into the pot and deliberately touched Sufen's hand.
Sufen moved her hand away a little, her face flushed red, as if she had been electrocuted.
Suddenly, Yue Cai's voice sounded at the kitchen door.
"Brother, you don't need to help, Sufen will clean it up."
Yue Xun looked at Yue Cai who was standing at the kitchen door and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, I'll help with some housework, and I'll feel better."
When Yue Cai heard Yue Xun say this, he didn't say anything more and turned and left.
Yue Xun took a step closer to Sufen, his body almost pressing against Sufen.
Sufen kept her head down, her face flushed, and she moved slightly to the side.
Yue Xun took the rag from Su Fen's hand, touched her hand deliberately, and whispered, "I'll wash it with you."
These obviously ambiguous and misleading words made Sufen's face burn even more.
She whispered, "I can wash it myself."
As she spoke, she was about to take the rag from Yue Xun's hand.
Yue Xun didn't give her the rag, but instead held her hand.
Sufen panicked, fearing that someone would come in and witness the scene. She glanced at Yue Xun in panic and quickly let go of his hand.
Yue Xun chuckled, took a rag and started washing the dishes in the pot.
"Do you really want to wash?" Sufen asked.
"I want to take a shower with you." Yue Xun said ambiguously.
Sufen's face was so red it looked like blood was dripping out. She bit her lip, said nothing, took another rag, and washed the dishes with Yue Xun.
Their bodies seemed to be some distance apart, but their hands would touch each other from time to time in the pot.
Yue Xun whispered to her, "Do you also think it's shameful that I don't do my work all day?"
Su Fen shook her head. "I don't think so. It's not your fault that the job is hard to get right now."
Yue Xun's voice was filled with a hint of laughter: "I thought you would dislike me like Mom."
"How can I look down on you? Mom looks down on me for not being diligent enough." Sufen whispered.
"Then we really are in the same boat." Yue Xun chuckled and grabbed Su Fen's hand in the pot.
Sufen lowered her head, not daring to look at her, but this time she didn't rush to pull her hand out...
…
Sunday.
The students who lived on campus went directly to the foot of the mountain to gather. Those who had families in the city, like Ye Fuyue, also rushed from their homes to the foot of the mountain.
Because the gathering time was long, Ye Fuyue got up early in the morning and took the bus.
Fortunately, she didn't arrive too late, and the main force had just arrived not long ago.
After everyone arrived, they climbed to the top of the mountain together.
This mountain is not very high and it only takes more than two hours to climb to the top.
But everyone stopped and talked along the way, and the squad leader even borrowed a camera to take pictures of everyone, so they climbed very slowly.
"Fu Yue, have you climbed this mountain before?" Liu Fu came to Ye Fu Yue and chatted with her.
Ye Fuyue shook her head: "No."
Liu Fu was surprised and said, "I thought you locals had explored the city pretty much."
Ye Fuyue smiled and said, "I may not have been to as many places as you have. You have been here for a short time, so you find everything new and want to see everything. I have been here for a long time, and I don't feel that sense of novelty anymore."
Liu Fu nodded in agreement: "The squad leader is taking pictures of everyone, let's ask him to take a few pictures of us too."
Ye Fuyue wasn't actually interested, but she knew Liu Fu was embarrassed to let the monitor take a photo of her alone, so he dragged her along.
So, Ye Fuyue took a group photo with Liu Fu, and then said to the squad leader, "Please take a solo photo of Liu Fu."
"Don't you want to take a solo photo?" the squad leader asked Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue shook her head.
The squad leader then took a solo photo of Liu Fu.
After the filming, Liu Fu came to find Ye Fuyue happily.
"Once the photos are developed, I will send them back home. My family will definitely be very happy to see them."
Ye Fuyue smiled as a response.
By the time they finally climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already past eleven o'clock.
We stood on the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire city, as if we owned the whole world.
Another male student stood facing the wind with his arms outstretched, shouted toward the city below, and then exclaimed, "What a great view here!"
"The higher you stand, the farther you can see." said a classmate.
Everyone rested for a while on the top of the mountain, ate some food they brought, and then started walking down the mountain.
The squad leader also emphasized: "Don't walk too fast when going down the mountain. It's bad for your knees."
By the time everyone slowly descended to the foot of the mountain, it was already past three o'clock.
The majority of the group had chartered a bus and would be returning to school in the same bus they had come in. Ye Fuyue, on the other hand, planned to return to the compound on her own.
The monitor yelled, "Everyone, don't leave in a hurry. Let's go to the store and have a bowl of noodles before going back to school."
This mountain climbing activity was funded by the funds provided by the school to each class, which means it was a free activity.
When everyone heard that they could eat noodles for free, they were naturally happy.
Seeing that no one wanted to leave early, Ye Fuyue didn't want to be the first to leave, so she followed the others in the class to eat noodles.
We all went to a state-owned restaurant at the foot of the mountain and ate plain noodles.
The state-owned restaurant has limited tables, and there are many people there, so basically there are eight to ten people crammed onto each table.
Although everyone ate some of the food they brought with them at the top of the mountain, they were still not full. When the plain noodles were served, everyone devoured them with relish.
Ye Fuyue, Liu Fu and six other classmates squeezed onto a table.
"The noodles in the state-owned restaurant taste really good." said a classmate.
The other students nodded in agreement as they ate: "Yeah, I haven't eaten in a state-owned restaurant in a long time."
"Me too." Liu Fu said with a silly smile.
Ye Fuyue listened to everyone's conversation, ate silently, and did not interrupt.
"Xu Ying? Xu Ying——" someone suddenly shouted.
Because there was no one in the class with this name, no one reacted, let alone looked up out of curiosity.
"Xu Ying!" the man shouted again and patted Liu Fu's shoulder.
Liu Fu, who was eating noodles, was stunned by the photo.
When she raised her head and saw the female comrade standing in front of her and talking to her, her face turned pale as paper in an instant.
"It's really you. I thought I had the wrong person. Why are you here?" said the female comrade.
Liu Fu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't.
A classmate sitting at the same table with Liu Fu kindly reminded him, "Comrade, you've got the wrong person. Her name is not Xu Ying."
"I'm not mistaken. It's Xu Ying. She and I are from the same village. How could I possibly be mistaken?" The female comrade said, then asked the student who was speaking, "Who are you to her?"
