Chapter 21 The Bed



Xu Yan thought about it carefully before remembering that he had read this passage in a book before.

When the educated youth first arrived at the educated youth settlement, many of them tried to get information out of the original owner of the house. They learned that her family was well-off and they all fawned over her.

So when it came time to choose a berth, the female educated youths voluntarily gave her the warmest spot against the wall, but she insisted on changing her position to the window later.

That spot originally belonged to Ye Wei.

Because the window was drafty, Ye Wei caught a cold for some reason. At that time, Han Xiaoyu asked the other female educated youth who were in better health to switch places with Ye Wei, and then switch back after Ye Wei recovered from her cold.

Nobody's a fool.

Is it true that Ye Wei is in poor health while everyone else is healthy?

She arrived two years earlier than the other educated youth, so she should have adapted to the weather here by now!

Besides, can she really get it back once she recovers from her cold?

Because no one was willing to make a replacement for him, Han Xiaoyu was starting to lose face.

On his way to Qingshan Brigade, he had always considered himself the person in charge of them. At that time, the brigade leaders would come directly to him with any arrangements, and seeing that no one listened to him, he became somewhat annoyed.

But thinking that we weren't familiar with each other yet, I figured I'd listen to him once we got to know each other better.

Can……

This matter cannot be left unresolved; if it is not handled properly, it will affect his prestige in the educated youth settlement.

So, he turned his attention to the original owner of the body.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to visit her.

The original owner was overjoyed and immediately switched places with Ye Wei without thinking. In order to win favor with Han Xiaoyu, she took great care of the sick Ye Wei.

Unexpectedly, a few days later Ye Wei recovered from her cold, but because she couldn't sleep well at night and kicked off the blanket, she felt dizzy and lightheaded when she woke up in the morning.

She knew she had a habit of moving around a lot in her sleep, and that sleeping by the window would eventually make her catch a cold. She wanted to change her position back, but Ye Wei said she was used to that spot and didn't want to move.

The original owner was dumbfounded.

Didn't we agree to change her once she recovered from her cold?

The original owner was a simple-minded person, and she couldn't win an argument, nor did she dare to.

Han Xiaoyu really hates it when female educated youths argue!

So the original owner had no choice but to grit his teeth and sleep in that spot, without ever mentioning changing his position.

Actually, this spot is quite comfortable on hot summer nights, but at noon, the sun shines directly on this bunk, making it impossible to rest.

The original owner had previously mentioned wanting to buy a thicker curtain to hang on the window, so that it wouldn't be cold in winter and wouldn't be so hot at noon in summer.

But her money was no longer under her control. Since others disagreed, she had no choice but to rest on the kitchen table for a while while others were taking their afternoon nap in bed.

Xu Yan: "..."

Xu Yan is now at a loss for what to complain about.

Hearing a noise at the door, she turned her head and saw Ye Wei staring straight at her.

Xu Yan then remembered that Ye Wei had fainted earlier and had been helped back to rest by Zhou Jingjing and the others.

But when did the person who fainted go outside?

"Are you trying to force us to our deaths?" Ye Wei stared at Xu Yan for a while before suddenly speaking. "Is it revenge?"

Xu Yan didn't understand what she was saying.

"Just because I won't switch places with you?" Ye Wei glanced at the sheets behind her. "If you want to switch, I'll switch with you right now."

Xu Yan: "..."

If it were winter, Xu Yan might actually consider moving inside.

but……

In the sweltering summer heat, a group of people were crammed onto a single kang (a heated brick bed). Although the female educated youth were all clean and would wash up after work each day before going to sleep, Xu Yan had never slept in the same bed with anyone else since she was a child. Now, she was really not used to being squeezed in there to sleep.

After looking around, this spot by the window is the only decent one, at least it's well-ventilated.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ye Wei spoke again, "Then why did you suddenly do this? Do you know how much money five hundred yuan is? How can you expect Brother Xiao Yu to come up with so much money in three months? Don't you like him? Are you willing to put him in such a difficult position?"

What a talent!

Xu Yan couldn't help but admire Ye Wei once again.

If the original owner of this body heard these words, she would probably feel so guilty that she couldn't lift her head. Unfortunately, she wasn't the type to be blinded by love.

"Oh?" Xu Yan snorted coldly.

"You know that five hundred yuan is not a small amount? I thought you didn't."

"Otherwise, why didn't you even blink when you gave me money before? People who didn't know better would think you were some pampered young lady. When I have time, I'll go to the Revolutionary Committee and have them investigate properly."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Wei was so frightened by her words that her face turned pale. "There are no rich girls in our family. My family is a working-class family with impeccable revolutionary credentials."

She emphasized the word "worker" very hard.

Xu Yan was just speaking offhand in the heat of the moment, but seeing Ye Wei's guilty look, he was actually a little suspicious.

But she didn't intend to actually report her; there was no need. As long as they returned what they owed her on time and in full, the matter would be over.

Because of Xu Yan's unintentional remark, Ye Wei stopped talking to her and turned to leave.

Xu Yan glanced behind her, then turned her gaze to the bed. The sun had shifted to a different angle, so the area of ​​light falling on the sheets was smaller, but the illuminated areas were still bright and shiny, as if they were about to catch fire.

Since transmigrating to the present, all sorts of messy things have piled up, and the original owner's health was poor, so she was already exhausted.
