Chapter 30: The Era: The Innocent Educated Youth Being Deceived 12…
Chen Xiannian had been away for longer than expected. If it weren't for the money and letters that kept coming back, Qiao Yin would have been really worried that something might have happened to him.
By the time Qiao Yin finished the third piece of clothing she made for Shen Xiannian, it was already late autumn, and the chill in the air was growing stronger day by day. Qiao Yin looked at the coat she was making for Shen Xiannian, thinking that if Shen Xiannian didn't come back, she wouldn't be able to wear it.
"Sister Qiao Yin, your friend is here to see you. She's at the door."
Shen Anan came in skipping and bounding, having just drunk the malted milk her brother had sent her, and licked the corner of her mouth with aftertaste.
Qiao Yin thought it was Xu Suyuan and the others, so she stood up and walked out the door, with Shen Anan following behind her.
"Comrade Zhou Wenquan? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Qiao Yin looked at Zhou Wenquan, who was standing outside the door with a slightly nervous look, in surprise and asked.
Qiao Yin hadn't seen him for a long time since their last meeting at the educated youth point, and she really couldn't figure out why Zhou Wenquan suddenly came to see her.
Zhou Wenquan glanced at Shen Anan, who was standing behind Qiao Yin and staring at him, and hesitated to speak.
"Comrade Qiao Yin, I... want to talk to you privately. Is that okay?"
Shen Anan looked at the two of them curiously with her big eyes, not understanding Zhou Wenquan's meaning at all.
Now Shen's mother was out, there was no one else at home, and Shen Xiannian was not at home. Qiao Yin was afraid that if the two of them were alone together and someone saw them, they would not be able to explain themselves, so she refused.
"Comrade Zhou, if you have anything to say, just tell me right here. I promise An An won't say anything nonsense."
Zhou Wenquan hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.
After all, he was trying to steal Shen Xiannian's brother's girlfriend in front of her sister, so he felt a little uncomfortable, even though Shen Xiannian's sister was a fool who knew nothing.
But this is his only chance. It happens that Shen Xiannian is not at home during this period. If he doesn't express his feelings now, it will be too late.
So, he gritted his teeth, not caring about the others, and finished speaking in one breath:
"Comrade Qiao Yin, I like you. From the first day we came to Green Water Bay, I fell in love with you at first sight. I want to take you back to the city and build a beautiful family with you."
Zhou Wenquan spoke excitedly, his eyes flashing with obsession and desire for Qiao Yin.
Qiao Yin didn't feel any joy when she heard this, but instead frowned:
"Comrade Zhou, I already have a partner."
Zhou Wenquan said nonchalantly, "I know, but you must have had no choice. The conditions in the countryside were difficult, and you couldn't bear it, so you accepted Comrade Shen Xiannian's advances. But you are not from the same world. Comrade Shen Xiannian has little education and hasn't read Leo Tolstoy and Stanislavsky. He won't understand you."
The contempt for Shen Xiannian and the smug pride that naturally revealed itself in his words made Qiao Yin feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Comrade Shen Xiannian is good, but he's just a peasant from the countryside. If you follow him, you'll have to live a hard life in the countryside for the rest of your life. Don't you want to live that kind of life? Comrade Qiao Yin, we're the only revolutionary comrades with the same ideals. Let's take the college entrance examination together and return to the city. I don't mind you dating a peasant. When we return to the city, I'll marry you..."
Qiao Yin couldn't listen any longer and interrupted him with a cold face:
"Comrade Zhou Wenquan, I think you misunderstood. I'm dating Shen Xiannian not for any other reason, but because I like him. So what if he's just a peasant? In my opinion, he's brave, kind, responsible, and handsome. He's a thousand times better than someone who only uses his status to justify himself, and is incompetent and weak!"
Zhou Wenquan stared blankly at Qiao Yin's expression, which grew colder by the minute. He didn't know what he had said wrong to upset her. He also said that he was incompetent and weak, and that Shen Xiannian was a thousand times better than him...
His face was a little embarrassed, with blue and red all over.
Shen Anan was listening on the side. Although she didn't fully understand what Zhou Wenquan meant, she knew that this person was saying bad things about her brother, so she stared at him with her hands on her hips and said loudly:
"You are the bad guy! My brother is good! You are a fool, a fool, my brother is ten thousand times better than you!"
Zhou Wenquan's face turned even uglier, veins popping out on his forehead. He wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a deep male voice.
"Zhou Wenquan, what are you doing standing at my door?"
Qiao Yin looked up in surprise. Shen Xiannian was leaning against the locust tree ten meters away, with the corners of his mouth raised as if he was smiling, but his eyes were full of coldness as he looked at Zhou Wenquan.
Before Shen Xiannian came over, Qiao Yin couldn't wait to run over and throw herself into his arms. Shen Xiannian naturally reached out to take it, and his cold face softened instantly.
Shen Anan also rushed over happily. Shen Xiannian smiled and touched her head, then handed her the bundle in his hand:
"There are some delicious food in the bag. Go inside and close the door. We'll be in soon."
Shen Anan listened to her brother's words very much, nodded, took the package back to the house, closed the door, and isolated herself from everything happening outside.
Only then did Qiao Yin realize that there were other people around, and she retreated somewhat embarrassedly. Shen Xiannian patted the back of Qiao Yin's head, put away his smile, and looked at Zhou Wenquan with a stern expression, his dark eyes narrowed, exuding an aura of someone who was not to be trifled with.
"Tell me? Weren't you talking so enthusiastically just now? Tell me about it."
Zhou Wenquan broke out in a cold sweat. Standing in front of the tall and strong Shen Xiannian, he felt like a quail being stared at by a cheetah, and his momentum was much weaker.
What's more, at this moment, Shen Xiannian was staring at him with a bad face, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound. Zhou Wenquan had no doubt that if he said something wrong, Shen Xiannian's fist would hit him in the face.
He was so timid that all the arrogance and pride he had shown in front of Qiao Yin just now disappeared. Is there anything more embarrassing than being caught talking bad about someone behind their back? Moreover, he was not only flirting with Shen Xiannian in front of Qiao Yin, he was also trying to cheat on him. Which man could tolerate this?
Zhou Wenquan's calves were shaking, and he couldn't speak clearly. He stammered and explained:
"I... I didn't say anything. I just passed by here and said a few words to Comrade Qiao Yin. Haha... Now that I've said that, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving now..."
Zhou Wenquan smiled awkwardly, slowly backed away, glanced at Qiao Yin beside him, and without caring about anything romantic, he turned around and ran away.
Shen Xiannian looked at his back, and cursed him with disgust and sarcasm, "Coward". How dare such a weakling compete with him for a woman?
Qiao Yin looked at Zhou Wenquan's back speechlessly, almost laughing out of anger. Isn't Zhou Wenquan really not a man?
Seeing a slight smile on her face, Shen Xiannian was a little displeased. He took her arm and pulled her into his arms. He pinched her soft face with two fingers, pinched her mouth into a pout, and said:
"When I'm not at home, do you come to see me often during the week or so?"
"No, he only came this once. I didn't even know he was looking for me for this. If I had known, I would definitely have ignored him..."
Qiao Yin felt that she was just like a husband who cheated on his wife while she was not at home and then had to make frantic explanations after being caught by her.
But the problem is, she didn't cheat. It was all because Zhou Wenquan was crazy and said some nonsense to her, which happened to be seen by Shen Xiannian. Qiao Yinzi stepped on Zhou Wenquan countless times in her heart, and then she raised her face and smiled at Shen Xiannian in a flattering way.
"Actually, he's right. I'm just a peasant and not worthy of you."
Shen Xiannian's tone was sour. He had heard what the educated youth surnamed Zhou had said just now. Although he did not care on the surface, he had to admit in his heart that he was right. He did not read much and could not talk like them. He often felt uneasy, afraid that she would think he was vulgar and not as good as those cultured people.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiannian's eyes gradually dimmed, and his expression couldn't help but look a little lost.
Because you care, your heart will feel uneasy.
Qiao Yin was stung by his expression, knowing that Zhou Wenquan's words still affected him. She snuggled into his arms with some heartache, and hurriedly expressed her sincerity:
"No way, you're so good, you're the perfect match. You're good to me, capable, kind, gentle, have a great figure, and are so handsome. No one in Green Water Bay can compare to you, and I only like you."
These words were not just to coax him, she really felt so. If Shen Xiannian was not such a good person, how could she agree to be with him?
After Qiao Yin finished speaking, she looked up at Chen Xiannian and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. She felt amused and continued to coax him, saying a lot of nice things and kissing him on the face several times, which made him couldn't help but smile.
Shen Xiannian was coaxed by her and felt comfortable all over. His heart seemed to be soaked in honey water. There was no sadness at all. His eyes looking at her gradually became hot.
He gently stroked Qiao Yin's face and murmured:
"Yinyin, I miss you so much when I'm out there. I want to come back to see you, marry you, and kiss you..."
His eyes lingered on her bright red lips, his gaze filled with burning desire.
God knows how much he missed her sweet smile and the feeling of security when holding her while he was out delivering goods. That kind of happiness and longing made him toss and turn in bed for countless tormenting nights.
He pushed her behind a tree, no longer needing to endure, and eagerly lowered his head to find her red lips and kissed them, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach, his big hands holding her head tightly to prevent her from escaping.
Qiao Yin felt his surging passion and desire, and her inner longing and attachment to him were also aroused. She couldn't help but slightly open her teeth and let him attack and sweep her.
Shen Xiannian noticed her indulgence, his whole body swayed, his shoulder blades bulged, and the kiss made a smacking sound, as if he wanted to vent all the longing he had for so many days.
It happened to be evening, and every household was cooking. Smoke curled from the chimneys, and the smell of food and fire filled the air. The Shen family lived at the foot of the mountain beside the village. Although they were far away from other houses, they could still hear the loud voices of the village aunties calling their children home for dinner.
"Shuanzi, come back for dinner!"
"Saya! Sanya! Where have you been?"
It seemed that the villagers looking for their child had come over. Hearing other people's voices, Qiao Yin panicked and wanted to retreat, but the man forcefully turned her head over and kissed her hard, which was rare and forceful.
Qiao Yin's cheeks flushed, her eyes misty and watery. She reached out and nudged the man's chest, wanting to tell him someone was coming. But the man seemed oblivious. Instead, he clutched her delicate hand tightly against his own hot chest, his breathing becoming heavier.
"Um... there's... someone..."
"Hmm... Yinyin, my dear... there's no one around, please let me kiss you for a little longer... I miss you so much..."
After kissing for a long time, the shouts gradually faded away. Qiao Yin thought vaguely:
Fortunately, no one came...
