Wen Xia Nuan was taking a hot bath, looking at the reflection standing outside the house.
After she finished her shower, she called out to the door.
Huo Jue pushed open the door and walked in. Wen Xia Nuan looked at him. The man was silent and expressionless, but she knew that Huo Jue was in a bad mood.
It must be what she said before that made him unhappy.
Wen Xia Nuan didn't think she had said anything wrong. She would leave here sooner or later. Giving Huo Jue too many fantasies would be bad for both him and herself.
Whatever I wanted to say was swallowed back into my stomach at this moment.
Huo Jue walked out carrying the wooden barrel, and Wen Xia Nuan had nothing to say to him.
He tightened his grip on the barrel, but eventually turned and left.
The door was closed, Wen Xia Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, and took out the "Land Change Handbook" from college and started reading.
"Brother Jue!"
At the door, Chen Yanfang waved at Huo Jue: "Have you eaten the fish I just brought?"
Huo Jue paused as Chen Yanfang opened the courtyard door and walked in. "Brother Jue, how does this fish taste? If you like it, I'll give you more. My uncle caught a lot..."
"Yanfang, no need."
Huo Jue poured the water from the wooden bucket under the peach tree at the bottom of the yard. He looked at Chen Yanfang and said, "This is enough for us to eat."
Chen Yanfang came back to her senses, looked at Huo Jue and smiled: "Okay, then I won't take it with me."
"Brother Jue, I heard from the villagers that your family's land is going to be used as experimental fields for the newly arrived educated youth. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Huo Jue responded and looked at Chen Yanfang: "The captain said that we can give it a try. Now that we can try it, let's see how it works."
Chen Yanfang nodded: "By the way, Brother Jue, have you heard?"
Huo Jue looked at Chen Yanfang in confusion. She lowered her voice and said, "I heard there's news from the town that Gu Yiyi and Li Zhiqing are going to be sent to labor camps!"
He stopped what he was doing and looked at Chen Yanfang: "Are you serious?"
Chen Yanfang nodded: "How can this be false? Brother Jue, the whole village should be informed tomorrow, just wait and see."
As soon as she finished speaking, screams were heard in the house.
Huo Jue was stunned and subconsciously ran towards the source of the sound.
Chen Yanfang looked at Huo Jue's hurried figure, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes: "Brother Jue, wait for me!"
inside the house.
Wen Xia Nuan stared at Li Tianqi closely, really unable to figure out where he came from.
The two of them were separated by a table. Wen Xia Nuan's anxious eyes were filled with fear. Li Tianqi stood opposite her and said in a faint voice, "A Nuan, come here."
He had already heard that he was about to be sent to a labor camp, and now he stared at Wen Xia Nuan as if he regarded her as his last straw.
"Li Tianqi, how did you get in?"
Wen Xia Nuan's face was tense, and her eyes were full of wariness as she looked at him: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Huo Jue?"
"Ah Nuan, I've always heard people outside talking about you and Huo Jue. Tell me honestly, are you two in a relationship?"
He stared at Wen Xia Nuan intently, as if he would come around the table and catch her if she said something wrong.
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes were filled with defensiveness: "Li Tianqi, you shouldn't be asking this."
She took a deep breath and stared at Li Tianqi with a tense expression: "Get out quickly, I can pretend nothing happened."
Li Tianqi sneered and walked towards Wen Xia Nuan.
Wen Xia Nuan made a prompt decision and turned around to run towards the door. At the moment when she was about to open the door, Li Tianqi also pressed the door. Wen Xia Nuan was so scared that her eyes narrowed.
The man's breath sprayed on her neck. The moment her hair stood up, Wen Xia Nuan made a quick decision and hit Li Tianqi with her elbow.
He was not paying attention for a moment and bent over in pain.
Wen Xia Nuan immediately opened the door and ran out. Just as Huo Jue arrived outside her room, he saw Wen Xia Nuan running out in a hurry. He immediately reached out and hugged her waist.
She seemed to be terribly frightened and hid in his arms.
Huo Jue reached out and patted her back soothingly, suppressing the emotions in his eyes until he saw Li Tianqi running out. Only then did Huo Jue let go of Wen Xia Nuan and walked towards Li Tianqi.
Li Tianqi realized something was wrong when he saw Huo Jue walking towards him. He subconsciously turned around and left, but Huo Jue reached out and grabbed him by the collar.
"Li Zhiqing, I wonder what brings you to my house so late at night?"
Huo Jue stared at him gravely, and Li Tianqi was dragged back to where he was: "Huo Jue, let me go!"
"A Nuan, I came to you because I really wanted to have a good talk with you. Is this how you treat me?"
Li Tianqi stared at Wen Xia Nuan with a vicious look. Wen Xia Nuan had a backer, and her expression instantly became smug: "Li Tianqi, are you worthy enough to come to me?"
Wen Xia Nuan frowned and stared at him in annoyance: "It's not like I don't know what happened between you and Gu Yiyi. It's a bit unreasonable for you to come to me again!"
"Wen Xia Nuan, what do you mean?"
Li Tianqi struggled for a bit, but Huo Jue punched him without a second thought, and he instantly became obedient.
"Huo Jue, can you hand him over to the commander? I don't want to see him!"
"Wen Xia Nuan, you bitch, I..."
Before Li Tianqi could finish the rest of his words, Huo Jue reached out and punched him in the mouth: "Li Tianqi, if you can't speak, I don't mind giving you a good treatment."
"Brother Jue, why is Li Zhiqing here too?"
Chen Yanfang was puzzled. Huo Jue looked at her and said as if it was a matter of course, "Go find a rope. I want to take him to the captain."
Although she didn't know what had happened, Chen Yanfang did notice something was wrong. She quickly went around to get a rope, glanced at Huo Jue and said, "Rope."
Li Tianqi was tied up by Huo Jue. After the gate of the yard was opened, Huo Jue pulled Li Tianqi out by the rope.
The villagers who were originally sitting on both sides of the road to enjoy the cool air looked at Huo Jue in confusion.
"Ajue, what happened between you and Li Zhiqing?"
"Yeah, why are you tying Li Zhiqing up like this?"
"Hey, Yanfang is here too! Can you tell me what's going on with these two people?"
Chen Yanfang scratched her hair, glanced at Huo Jue first, then looked at the surrounding villagers and said, "I don't know either. This Li Zhiqing suddenly showed up at Jue's house, and Jue got really angry. He said he was going to tie him up and take him to the team leader to demand an explanation!"
