After dinner, the two rested for a while and then went to take a shower.
Yang Qingyan finished washing first, she simply wiped her hair and casually draped it over her shoulders, a few drops of water dripped from the wet ends of her hair from time to time, staining a patch of moisture on her pajamas. The collar of her pajamas was slightly open, revealing a section of her fair neck, which was even more soft and beautiful under the mist.
As soon as she looked up after wiping, she saw Mu Nanhe walking out of the bathroom. He was wearing only a pair of army green shorts, with his sturdy upper body exposed. His bronze skin glowed under the light, and his eight neatly arranged abdominal muscles were like carefully carved works of art, with firm and smooth lines, showing full masculine power, which immediately attracted Yang Qingyan's attention.
Mu Nanhe looked calm, but his heart was actually in turmoil. As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, his eyes were attracted by Yang Qingyan. He caught a glimpse of the wetness on her chest caused by the dripping hair. His heart felt like it was gently brushed by a feather. He shuddered slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind subconsciously: It seems that Yang Qingyan's breasts have become fuller during this period of time. He quickly looked away, pretending to be calm and wiping his hair with a feather, but a blush quietly climbed up the tip of his ear, but fortunately the light was dim and it was not very obvious.
Yang Qingyan felt her cheeks slightly hot, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened, her eyes uncontrollably stayed on the abdominal muscles for a while longer, and she had an urge to reach out and touch them, her fingers unconsciously curled slightly. She hurriedly looked away, pretending to calm down and look away, but her red ears quietly betrayed her panic at the moment.
Mu Nanhe seemed not to notice her abnormality. He walked towards her while wiping his hair with a towel and asked casually, "Are you tired after today?" His voice was a little lazy as if he had just taken a shower, but also revealed a bit of concern.
Yang Qingyan coughed lightly, calmed herself down, and replied, "It's okay, you've been busy all day." While speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Mu Nanhe from the corner of her eye.
Mu Nanhe sat down beside her, and his arm accidentally touched hers. Yang Qingyan felt as if she was electrocuted, and her body trembled slightly. Mu Nanhe slightly side-glanced, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask much. He just chatted with her for a few more words, and then got up to go to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.
Yang Qingyan looked at his leaving back, patted her cheeks lightly, and thought to herself: "You only have a few abdominal muscles, look at what you have accomplished." But the strange feeling in her heart could not be dispelled, and it quietly spread in this quiet night.
Mu Nanhe stood in the kitchen, leaning against the cabinet, holding a cup of water in his hand, but he didn't bring it to his mouth for a long time. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner throbbing. Yang Qingyan's appearance just now kept appearing in his mind, her slightly red cheeks, her flustered eyes, and her inadvertent coquettishness, all like a stone thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples. He smiled bitterly to himself, never expecting that one day he would be so distracted, but he couldn't help looking forward to the time he would spend with her next, even if they were just sitting quietly, the air seemed to be filled with a different atmosphere.
The next day, the investigation results came out quickly. It turned out that after Goudan woke up, he was afraid of being scolded at first. After all, it was his own fault for playing around. When he saw the fish there, he wanted to catch them on impulse, but he accidentally fell into the water. He was scared, so he lied to Li Zhaodi and said he didn't know who pushed him.
After learning about the situation, Mu Nanhe immediately arranged for the security guards to investigate the matter. The security guards did not dare to slack off at all, and divided into several groups to carefully question every possible witness along the 께 River.
They worked from early morning to noon, visiting every household, patiently describing the scene to the residents and asking if anyone had seen Goudan fall into the water. Finally, an old man who got up early to work recalled that he saw a child jumping by the river from a distance, and then suddenly leaned out as if attracted by something, and then fell into the water. Although the old man was far away and did not see the child's face clearly, the time and place he provided were very consistent with Goudan falling into the water.
Coincidentally, there was a soldier who was patrolling nearby. He happened to be walking to a section with a relatively wide field of vision and saw the whole process of Goudan falling into the water clearly. He saw Goudan running around excitedly by the river, staring at the fish in the river, and then he leaned forward and slipped and fell into the water. When he hurried to the riverside, Yang Qingyan had already jumped into the water to rescue him, and soon Goudan was rescued to the shore.
With the strong testimony of the grandfather and the soldiers, combined with some children's footprints and messy water stains found by the guards while patrolling the river, all signs undoubtedly pointed to Goudan falling into the water by himself. The truth gradually surfaced.
After learning the truth, Li Zhaodi was ashamed and pulled Goudan to apologize to Yang Qingyan. However, Mu Nanhe waved his hand and said that there were other things to deal with.
Mu Nanhe was furious and immediately found Wei Lan's brother-in-law Liu Jianjun and went to the art troupe together. He told the leaders of the art troupe everything about Wei Lan's malicious framing of Yang Qingyan and asked them to deal with it seriously.
The leaders of the art troupe were well aware of the adverse impact of this incident. After discussion, they finally gave Wei Lanji a serious demerit and ordered her to publicly apologize to Yang Qingyan in the family courtyard to set the record straight and clear Yang Qingyan's name.
On the day of the public apology, the courtyard was crowded with people. Wei Lan lowered his head, his face as pale as paper, and walked slowly to the center of the crowd.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her hands tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously, her body trembling slightly, her heart full of regret and shame, but this regret was not from the heart, more from the unwillingness to be punished. In fact, her hatred for Yang Qingyan not only did not dissipate, but became more intense under this humiliation. She gritted her teeth and thought that she would find a chance to retaliate against Yang Qingyan if she suffered such a great humiliation one day.
Under everyone's gaze, she slowly raised her head, not daring to meet their gaze, and spoke hesitantly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Dear neighbors, I... I am standing here today to apologize to Comrade Yang Qingyan. Before, I falsely accused her of pushing Goudan, but I was blinded by jealousy and did the wrong thing in a moment of confusion..." At this point, her voice choked and her eyes were red, but there was more grievance of being forced in these red eyes, rather than sincere regret.
Yang Qingyan stood aside, taking in Wei Lan's unwillingness and hatred. She was not the kind of person who could be bullied. Seeing Wei Lan's perfunctory response, her face instantly turned cold, and she said in a tough tone: "Is this how you apologize? Speak louder so that everyone can hear it clearly!"
Wei Lan didn't expect Yang Qingyan to embarrass her in public, and her hatred grew even stronger. However, she was forced by the situation and could only grit her teeth and raise her voice a little: "I... I know that my behavior hurt her and caused trouble for everyone. I really regret it... Comrade Yang Qingyan, I'm sorry, please forgive me..." The last few words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
Yang Qingyan snorted coldly, staring straight at Wei Lan. After a moment's silence, she slowly said, "For the sake of being neighbors, I forgive you, but you'd better remember what happened today. Stay away from me in the future and don't provoke me again, otherwise..." She didn't finish her words, but the warning was self-evident.
Wei Lan's body stiffened slightly when he heard this. Although he was filled with resentment, he could only nod in agreement.
