"I, I'm fine." Lai Chunyang raised his hand to rub his still sleepy eyes. "I don't know what's wrong with me these past two days. I haven't been sleeping well at night and I keep having weird, chaotic dreams. During the day, I start to feel sleepy and don't want to get out of bed. Luckily, I don't have to go to school or work now, so I can sleep as long as I want at home. Otherwise, I would have dark circles under my eyes every day."
Lai's mother said, "Studying away from home is so hard, you have to get up early every day, it must be tiring. You should rest when you get back. It's okay, you can sleep whenever you want, we won't disturb you."
Seeing this, Xue Yanchen knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he quickly said to Lai Chunyang, "You can go back to sleep, I'm leaving."
"Brother, take care!"
He subconsciously touched the pistol and dagger under his pillow. If it weren't for the occasion, and the fear of making too much noise, he could have taken care of Xue Yanchen right now.
He lay back down on the kang and began plotting how to kill Xue Yanchen again. His mind would race with excitement whenever he thought about it, and he couldn't sleep at all.
Gradually, he began to mentally devise a hundred ways to kill Xue Yanchen with a sharp knife.
After arriving and leaving, Xue Yanchen went to the educated youth settlement of Shengli Brigade.
He went to find Luo Jingyan first. Luo Jingyan was eating and was surprised that he came over in the middle of the day. "You probably haven't eaten yet. I'll go and cook for you."
"No, I haven't eaten." He took Luo Jingyan's hand and said, "You eat, I'll go make something."
He felt completely at ease here, just like he was at home.
He quickly prepared the meal: boiled noodles in plain water with a little salt and chopped green onions. Luo Jingyan added some mushroom sauce she had made in her space, which greatly enhanced the flavor.
"Wife, you are so skillful. It is my luck to have met you, and it will be my blessing to marry you in the future."
Luo Jingyan smiled and said, "Look at you, here you are again. If others hear this, they'll say you're all talk and no action."
"These are my true feelings. I don't care what others think of them, as long as you like to hear them."
Life can be monotonous, and a few sweet words can certainly add some spice.
"I want you to be able to say sweet words to me in different ways in the future."
"Yes, ma'am. I will definitely do more research and study."
"Who are you going to learn from? Are you one of the male educated youth in your area who are currently dating?"
"Hmm, I borrowed a book from that male educated youth last time. He must have learned it from the book. It seems I still need to read more books to enrich my knowledge and cultivation."
"Other people study to acquire knowledge, but you study to learn how to speak sweet words."
"I'm doing this to make my wife happy. This is a big deal, and I can't be careless about it."
"Alright, alright, go ahead and learn. I'm waiting to hear the results of your work."
After dinner, as usual, Xue Yanchen cleared the table, washed the pots and pans, went back to the room to keep Luo Jingyan company for a while, and then went to find Zhao Jun.
He called Zhao Jun outside, and the two spoke alone. Observing that no one was around, he lowered his voice to make sure that only the two of them could hear him.
"Zhao Jun, I saw it. That kid has a mark on him."
He didn't say the rest aloud, but instead gestured a six-pointed star shape. Zhao Jun immediately understood what he meant, and his eyes widened.
"You mean he really was sent by the enemy? There's a traitor among us. We need to report this to the military region immediately and tell the commander."
"Do you know who leaked the information? What if we reported it to the wrong person and gave the real information to a traitor?" Xue Yanchen said.
"Two leaders?" Zhao Jun muttered to himself, "How is this possible?"
“Be careful in everything. We haven’t confirmed who it is yet, so we have to be on guard. The most important thing right now is to catch Lai Chunyang. In my opinion, that kid is definitely not unarmed; he’s hiding weapons at home. We have to be careful. I haven’t seen him during the day these past few days. I went to his house to check, and I found him sleeping in during the day. A person who has undergone special training is very self-disciplined; it’s impossible for him to sleep in during the day for no reason. He said he doesn’t sleep well at night and keeps having dreams. I guess he must be out and about at night.”
Zhao Jun stared intently at Xue Yanchen, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Shall we go up the mountain tonight and meet him?"
"Let's not delay, let's do it today."
The quota for the village's Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University was finally announced. The village's quota was given to Zhao Youtian's second son, a poor peasant who had excellent grades while studying in the county town. As soon as the quota for the educated youth was announced, the educated youth were in an uproar. Except for Zhao Wensong, none of the educated youth were not surprised, especially the more senior educated youth. While they were surprised, they were even more angry.
