Praise You
The lights in the village gradually lit up.
A stage was built at the Party and Mass Service Center, and gradually, the village gathered like a tide, some chatting, some square dancing, and some playing cards. Across the road, a small basketball court was built, and the village boys, whether they knew how to play or not, ran and shouted with great enthusiasm.
Compared to the primitive isolation of three years ago, You Jing thought, Jiutao Village is now vibrant and vibrant. Sediment An, though quiet in her words, is a truly ambitious person in her actions. She has quietly carved a unique mark in the world that once belonged to her. But he, despite having the upper hand, has lost his chances due to impulsiveness. At this thought, a sinister emotion welled up in him like a wild horse unleashed.
You Jing looked at her with his deep eyes. The sea water was flooding back, dead fish and shrimps were floating in the water, and their shriveled corpses were washed ashore by waves.
"Ayin, I have something to tell you."
Ye Yuanyin's first reaction was to lean closer to Chen Yan'an. Such a trivial gesture, if not paying attention, could easily be missed. He recalled every time in the past, she seemed to subconsciously make choices based on his attitude. But every time in the past, whether out of damned pride or deliberate negligence, he never picked up the subtext of her actions.
Xiao Ye was right, he was indeed arrogant.
While he was thinking, the unresponsive warm body temperature left his side and her footsteps began to move.
Chen Yan'an's heart skipped a beat. He reached out and grabbed her as she was about to leave. His fingers dug into her flesh, but his expression was infinitely gentle. He lowered his head and asked, "Where are you going? Didn't Youshan say we should have dinner together?"
Ye Yuanyin looked at him, a fleeting spark in his eyes.
He wanted to kiss her.
Zheng Youshan considered his relationship with the two men and quickly lined up. "That's right, Ah Yin. Is there anything you can't say in person?"
Ye Yuanyin glanced at Chen Yan'an with a conflicted expression. With just this one glance, he could no longer suppress the emotions surging in his chest. His fingers slid down and held her hand tightly, and he said to Zheng Youshan indifferently, "Let's go."
"Okay."
You Jing caught up from behind, his eyes full of turmoil and his handsome face covered with gloom.
Chen Di An put his arm around her shoulders and passed his hand over her. You Jing's outstretched hand was caught by air. Chen Di An turned around to block him, his expression and voice cold, "What do you want to do?"
You Jing waved his hand to release his strength, "I do whatever I want, who do you think you are?"
The three of them were standing right in the center of everyone's attention, and several sensitive rural women were already pointing and watching the excitement. Chen Yanan looked at Ye Yuanyin with a determined look and asked, "Do you want to go?"
She nodded.
This was unexpected.
Chen Yanan was filled with regret, wondering if she hated him. Why did she leave him again? Could there be a turning point in their relationship?
"Why?!"
"Some things are better said clearly."
Mr. Chendian was not happy about the two of them meeting alone, but he couldn't go back on his word. He pretended to be magnanimous but reluctantly let go of his hand.
"…Call me if you have anything."
"good."
He watched You Jing take her away.
On the way to the restaurant, Zheng Youshan admired him for giving up his woman. He was truly someone who could accomplish great things with this 100,000 yuan. Why wasn't he playing by the rules? But then again, if they started arguing, it would be truly embarrassing. The neighbors were watching them worship in the ancestral hall. In public, two men were arguing over her. Was Ah Yin cheating, or was he having problems? Rumors were bound to spread. After all, the village was so small that even the smallest incident could become a major drama.
Shi Wankuai is indeed a thoughtful person.

In the evening, it was already very late when Ye Yuanyin returned home.
The sky was full of stars and the moon was bright. The yard was very quiet. She pushed open the door and saw that the light in the study was still on.
She walked up the bamboo stairs. The door of the study was not closed tightly. He was leaning against the desk with a book in his hand, his slender upper body facing the door, and his cell phone was placed aside with the speaker on.
Ji Quan was reporting to him. "The group's second-quarter revenue increased by 5.8 percentage points compared to the same period last year, exceeding expectations. Sales in the domestic market performed even better than in the international market. Due to exchange rate fluctuations, export trade has been slowing, and the chairman wants to cut R&D expenses..."
Zhan Dian'an's eyes did not leave the book, and his tone was the same as before, "How to reduce it?"
Ji Quan's voice was clearly strained. "Reduce it to 5 percent. The chairman is quite conservative with money and doesn't want to take certain risks."
"How did you answer?"
Ji Quan paused and said, "I would like to ask for your opinion first."
Chen Yan remained silent, his clean, innocent fingers turning a page. Time passed like a blunt knife, a mere few seconds of wasted time, but on the phone, even a second felt like torture.
"I..." Ji Quan quickly added, "I feel that investing in research and development is a very necessary thing. Although there will be a slight loss of profit in the short term, in the long run, we will be more competitive in this field."
After a while, Chen Yan hummed softly and said coldly, "Think about how to persuade him."
"clear."
Ji Quan was like a person submerged in the deep sea, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, his heavy body floating to the surface with a "whoosh". She knew that he was deep-minded and difficult to please, but the only thing that kept her going through one late night after another was the hope that she would see him the next day.
Obsessed with a man, she would run all over town for a piece of clothing, then give up on herself because she couldn't find anything suitable. She knew what kind of woman he liked, and at first she was unwilling to become someone so different from herself, but later she gradually got used to it.
The temperature was so hot that even my skin started to ache.
"Miss Zou asked about your whereabouts today."
"Ji Quan..." Chen Yan'an slammed the book in his hand on the table, took his phone and threw it on the desk in front of him, his tone already a little impatient, "I know you have a heavy workload. But you always throw fruitless problems to me, so shouldn't I find someone to help you?"
She was stunned for two or three seconds, and her voice trembled when she answered, "I'll explain it to her."
After the consultation, the call ended.
Sediment's head rested on the back of the chair, his hands hanging naturally, outlining a beautiful outline. He turned the chair around and met her eyes without surprise.
"Why are there no sounds when I come back?"
Ye Yuanyin leaned against the door frame and said frankly: "You are too fierce. I am afraid of being scolded."
Chen Yan raised the corners of his lips, the slight curve like a sharp blade unsheathed. "You haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"
She looked at him, leaning most of her body against the creaking door. Her innocent face had a cute expression, but her voice was erratic. "Who wants to do something wrong? Am I tired of living?"
The man stared at her with a pair of eyes as dark as the sea. In the center of the stormy sea, a lamp was lit because of a faint smile, and the fishing lights flickered.
"If you don't come back, I'll be a little impatient."
Ye Yuanyin bit her lip and stared at him without saying a word.
Sediment An stretched out his hand, and the door frame moved with the figure, half-opening and making a sound.
Through the gap that had not yet closed, she sat on the man's legs, a hand with strong blue veins holding the woman's slender waist, the light cast their shadows on the wall, and their two heads were pressed together.
He tilted his head back and kissed her patiently over and over again. Ye Yuanyin felt a surge of heat on her head, and her whole body was about to melt.
"What did you say to him?" Chen Yan paused, put his hands around her waist, and sounded dissatisfied. "What took so long to say?"
"Will you criticize me like you criticized Ji Quan?"
"How dare I," he imitated her, "It's not like I'm tired of living."
Ye Yuanyin was not satisfied with this answer. He leaned down, almost touching his face. "Why not? Do you feel distant from me?"
Chen Yan raised his head, his expression teasing, "I think you have no sense of distance from others."
The light in the study was once just an ordinary incandescent bulb. I don't know when it was replaced with one like the Shen family's. The light was like the oil film floating on millet porridge, dim and ambiguous.
She was like a painting, and she intended to remain quiet and taciturn all her life.
Sediment frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to explain?"
She smiled gently, like a wisp of smoke, disappearing in a flash.
Chen Yan'an's eyes were filled with sadness, and he suddenly buried his face in her neck. The woman's soft hair wrapped around his facial features like seaweed.
Ye Yuanyin felt a heat on her neck. With each deep breath, it felt like a bug was entering her body. She couldn't help but clench her palms.
"In your father's bookcase, there are five editions of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio alone."
"Then...what happened?"
"When I see you, I always think of those seductive vixens."
"..." Ye Yuanyin was speechless, thinking, hasn't he always been pure and unselfish? How could such a person, after staying in the mountains for too long, also fall into the mundane world due to loneliness?
"But why are you so passive? You don't explain what you did with that other man, what you said, or why you came back at this time?" Chen Yan raised his head, thinking that he was forcing himself to be a male vixen, "Do you need me to show up?"
Ye Yuanyin's face flushed red as he said, "Sacrifice... what body?"
Shen Yan lowered his eyes. The person sitting in his arms was wearing a shirt collar dress. The dress seemed to be sprinkled with gold powder. The swollen and grand flower-like skirt covered her legs. The top button at the neck was also buttoned neatly. Her lowered face was like a statue that could not be desecrated. Her eyes trembled, and she looked as majestic as a collapsing building.
He suddenly felt a desire to destroy, and one hand slid down her shoulders, groping all the way to her waist, while the other hand unbuttoned her neck.
Ye Yuanyin tried to hide, but he pulled her back, unbuttoning the second button. A hand reached through the folds of her clothes, causing her skin to shudder wherever it passed. She suddenly grasped his wrist in an unbearable manner. This kind of punishment was a torture that tormented both her skin and her soul.
"Don't."
"What did you say."
"I admit it."
Yan Chen smiled lightly, "What should I do? I don't want to listen anymore."
