Chapter 22 She has someone else.
Although he really wanted to have an in-depth discussion with his wife about who was more perverted, there was a risk of a second collapse at any time. After much deliberation, Hua Cheng regretfully chose to pause.
The umbrella was gone, and I was soaked to the bone, so it didn't matter whether I got wet or not.
Hua Cheng pulled Yun Jin forward, and after walking only a few steps, they saw the motorcycle again.
The motorcycle was lying on its side, and it was clear that Yun Jin jumped off before it had come to a complete stop.
Hua Cheng turned to look at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin said calmly, "I rode my motorcycle for three hours to get here."
Before the rain stopped, the guesthouse owner refused to lend her the car, so she waited until six in the morning before coming out.
In three hours, the weather cleared up for less than half an hour; the rest of the time it was raining and stormy.
Hua Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "No wonder you're so cold."
Yun Jin glanced at him, not wanting to pay him any attention.
Seeing this, Hua Cheng gently scratched her palm. Yun Jin clicked her tongue in annoyance and immediately tried to pull her hand away.
"I won't bother you anymore," Hua Cheng quickly relented.
Yun Jin glanced at him coldly. Although she didn't resist anymore, she clearly had no intention of letting him off so easily.
Hua Cheng looked completely innocent and even discussed with her how to place the motorcycle: "Although the road ahead hasn't collapsed, a lot of rocks have fallen, so it's impossible to ride. Let's leave it here for now and ride it again when the road is cleared."
Yun Jin glanced at the motorcycles parked on the side of the road, then looked at the chaotic road ahead, and frowned: "That's all we can do."
"Once the rain stops, regardless of whether the motorcycle is damaged or not, we'll buy a new one to compensate them," Hua Cheng comforted them in a low voice.
Yun Jin pursed her lips and agreed.
Hua Cheng chuckled and slowly walked forward with his arm around her.
The heavy rain seemed endless, never-ending. The two supported each other as they walked through the rain, slowly but steadily.
What should have been a ten-minute walk took them nearly half an hour to reach the dilapidated elementary school.
This primary school, named Wangsheng, is the only school within a 20-mile radius. Not only do children from Chenjia Village attend school here, but children from other nearby villages also send their children here.
Although it was called a school, it actually consisted of only three tiled houses, one of which was also a kitchen.
The tiled houses were connected and stood side by side, surrounded by a fence that served as a playground. Because of the rain, the playground was even muddier than the outside.
It was already nine o'clock in the morning, but because of the heavy rain, there was no one in the school except for a few free-range chickens wandering around in the corridor outside the classrooms.
Yun Jin also went to the corridor to take shelter from the rain, while Hua Cheng circled the school alone for a while before finally returning to the eaves.
“Just the two of us,” he said.
“Even elementary school students know that you shouldn’t go out when it rains,” Yun Jin said expressionlessly.
Hua Cheng didn't argue that he came because the tour guide said there was no problem. He just smiled and reached out to take her hand, but Yun Jin slapped his hand away, telling him to stay away from her.
Hua Cheng knew she was still angry, so he didn't dare to provoke her any further and honestly reported the situation: "There is another road behind the school, but it collapsed just now, and now both ends are blocked, and we are trapped in the middle."
"Oh." Yun Jin was feeling extremely cold and didn't want to waste any more words with him.
She came from that road.
After leaving the guesthouse, she rode her motorcycle for more than two hours until she came to a fork in the road, one leading to the beginning of Chenjia Village and the other to the end.
Although she was from the same county, it was her first time visiting Chenjia Village. She didn't know which road to take, so she just picked one randomly. She ended up choosing the one at the end of the village.
Fortunately, she chose the road at the end of the village. As she walked past the primary school, she realized something was wrong and just then saw Hua Cheng standing under the collapsing mountain wall with an umbrella.
If she had chosen the road at the village entrance, even if she had seen him, she probably wouldn't have had time to save him, just like that group of people earlier.
The thought of this possibility made Yun Jin feel even colder.
Noticing that her expression was off, Hua Cheng quickly pulled her into his arms and rubbed her gently.
Yun Jin was still feeling lingering fear, and so was he, especially when he saw the collapsed path behind the elementary school. He felt so cold that even his bones ached.
The arrival of Yun Jin was unexpected.
According to his plan, after hearing that he would be back two days later, she would throw a tantrum on the phone, and then, after he got home, she would suppress her anger and give him a good scolding.
He will fully cooperate, telling her what he has done in the same county until she calms down, and then have the public relations and charity departments release a press release in cooperation with her.
He hadn't expected Yun Jin to come right after making the call. In the eleven years they'd known each other, this was the first time he'd misjudged her movements.
"Why did it suddenly come..." Hua Cheng murmured.
Was it because she was too worried about his illness? But she knew perfectly well that she had brought a medical team with her and that everything would be alright.
Faced with his question, Yun Jin did not speak, but silently stared at the heavy rain outside the eaves.
Hua Cheng's gaze fell on her stubborn profile, and the rain in his heart was heavier than the rain outside.
He regretted it.
real.
If he had known Yun Jin would come, he wouldn't have appeared in Tong County in the first place. Instead, he would have solved the problem in another way, even if it would have been slower.
He was too arrogant, thinking that things would go exactly as he planned, never considering that he might be wrong.
The thought that if Yun Jin hadn't arrived at such a timely time, she might have been crushed under that pile of rocks, made Hua Cheng's heart feel like it was being fried in oil, its flesh dripping with blood.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the colder he felt. Hua Cheng tried to warm Yun Jin up, but he was also soaked in sweat. Even if the two cold people hugged each other, it would be difficult for them to get any warmer.
"Go wait in the classroom first, I'll go see if there's anything we can use to keep warm." Hua Cheng pushed her to the classroom door and then turned and went into the kitchen.
Yun Jin glanced at the dilapidated but tidy classroom, then at the muddy water flowing down her trousers, but ultimately didn't go in.
The rain was gradually subsiding, but it probably wouldn't stop anytime soon. Hua Cheng went into the kitchen and hadn't come out yet; no one knew what he was doing.
Yun Jin felt so cold that her whole body stiffened, and her knees ached intermittently. After standing still for a moment, she went to the kitchen to find Hua Cheng.
In the kitchen, Hua Cheng squatted in front of the stove, trying hard to start a fire. His frostbitten fingers gripped a handful of wheat stalks tightly, lit a match, and quickly burned it.
A plume of white smoke rose up, and his eyes lit up. He immediately threw the wheat stalks into the stove, and the smoke went out the next second.
"It still doesn't work..."
Hua Cheng frowned, staring at the stove full of wheat straw, lost in thought.
A moment later, he grabbed a handful of new wheat stalks and a new match.
Yun Jin couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the matches away.
"Wife..."
As soon as Hua Cheng saw her, he instinctively stood up to greet her. Yun Jin pushed him aside, pulled up a small stool, and sat down in front of the stove. She quickly lit the wheat straw in the stove.
The moment the flames blazed, a look of shock flashed in Hua Cheng's eyes: "How did you do that?"
Yun Jin didn't answer. After looking around the kitchen, she found the water vat in the corner, scooped up a full ladle of water, and poured it into the iron pot fixed on the stove.
After scooping several ladles of water, the pot was full. She then took a few pieces of dry firewood and threw them into the stove, poking at them with the iron tongs next to her.
The flames dispelled some of the chill, and the flickering light cast shadows on her face. She glanced at Hua Cheng indifferently and scoffed, "City bumpkin."
Hua Cheng, who grew up using a gas stove despite his poor family background: "..."
Yun Jin stoked the fire, making it warm to sit by the stove. The city bumpkin remained silent for a moment, then found a small basin from somewhere, stood in the kitchen, stripped himself clean inside and out, and began washing clothes.
In impoverished areas, even garbage is scarce, let alone anything else.
Hua Cheng couldn't find soap, but fortunately the muddy water was easy to wash, and he could clean it by hand.
After washing my own clothes, I'm going to take off the brocade.
Yun Jin had been sitting in front of the stove for a long time, her clothes almost dried out, when she saw his hand reach out and immediately slapped it away: "Get away, you pervert."
Hua Cheng is now completely naked, his trunk swaying wildly, truly deserving of the title "pervert."
Hua Cheng remained calm, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him being naked like that at school. He even patiently advised Yun Jin, "Rainwater is too dirty. It's bad for your health if it seeps in. Take it off and I'll wash it for you."
Yun Jin resolutely refused.
"There's no one here, and no cameras, so you won't be seen," Hua Cheng continued to persuade.
Yun Jin still refused.
After trying to persuade him for a long time, and with white smoke starting to rise from the pot, Hua Cheng had no choice but to put his clothes in front of the stove to dry.
He was so focused on drying the clothes that he forgot Yun Jin was sitting next to him. As he leaned forward, Yun Jin caught a glimpse of the thing that was almost touching the top of her head.
Her eyelids twitched, and she reached out to pry them off for him.
Hua Cheng instinctively jumped back a step, and that thing swayed along with it.
"What are you doing, honey?" he asked, still shaken.
Yun Jin rolled her eyes at him, gave him the seat in front of the stove, and sat down in the haystack in the corner.
While the clothes were drying, the water was also boiled. Hua Cheng washed the small basin clean, mixed the hot and cold water together, adjusted the temperature to a suitable level, and poured it onto his own dried inner garment. After wringing it dry again, he walked over to Yun Jin, squatted down, and began to wipe her body.
The hot clothes were wiped on my body, removing the sticky mud and rainwater, and my stiff muscles softened again.
Seeing that she didn't resist too much, Hua Cheng tentatively took off her top and bra, and then took off the watch from her wrist.
When he was taking off her clothes, Yun Jin did not resist, but as soon as his fingers touched her wristwatch, she felt as if she had been electrocuted and instinctively hid her hands behind her back.
The movement was so sudden that both of them were slightly taken aback.
Yun Jin frowned slightly, but before she could say anything, Hua Cheng chuckled, "Is it really necessary to treasure it like this?"
"Yes, it's very precious. You should touch it less often in the future," Yun Jin said calmly.
Hua Cheng recalled the secret she had told him and the lies she had told.
After a few seconds of silence, he cautiously probed, "Who gave you this watch?"
Yun Jin looked up: "Why can't I buy it myself?"
"You bought it yourself?" Hua Cheng's spirits lifted.
Yun Jin: "No."
Hua Cheng: "..."
Yun Jin: "I don't know where it came from. I just woke up from my afternoon nap and it was already on my hand."
She was telling the truth; she really did wake up one morning with it on her wrist, and she still doesn't know where it came from.
Hua Cheng could tell she wasn't lying, so... the person who gave her the watch must have seen her taking a nap.
He didn't know who that person was, but it was definitely not someone he knew, otherwise Yun Jin would have directly said his name.
He was a stranger to Yun Jin, yet he was so familiar with her that he could watch her take a nap. The broken watch he gave her made her care so much that she wouldn't even take it off when it got dirty.
Hua Cheng felt a tightness in his chest. He lowered his head and repeatedly heated her clothes to wipe her body until she had completely warmed up. Only then did he put his own dried coat on her.
After wiping her upper body, it was time to wipe her lower body. Just as Hua Cheng's hand reached for her pants, Yun Jin stopped him.
“Wife…” Hua Cheng looked at her helplessly.
Yun Jin frowned: "Put your underwear on first."
It's too much of an eyesore to see someone completely naked.
Hua Cheng paused, followed her gaze, and when he looked up again, another head had also risen.
Yun Jin: "...What was the turning point that caused your change?"
“Look at it,” Hua Cheng answered honestly.
Yun Jin took a deep breath, and the thought of breaking him up came to her again.
Hua Cheng sensed the danger and immediately put on his underwear.
After half an hour of fussing, Yun Jin finally got clean and tidy, and sat in front of the stove to take a nap, wearing Hua Cheng's coat and pants.
Hua Zong worked tirelessly until Guangguang's clothes were washed, dried, and changed into new ones, only then did she regain the right to use her own clothes.
The rain was still falling. Hua Cheng threw away the wheat stalks that Yun Jin had just soaked, and hugged her as they huddled together in the pile of wheat stalks to keep warm.
Yun Jin leaned against him and shook her phone vigorously.
The base station in the mountains was mostly damaged by the wind, but there was still some signal here. After wandering around for a while, she received messages from Liu Zhuang and Feng Che.
Liu Zhuang asked her where she had gone, and Feng Che responded with a string of exclamation marks.
Hua Cheng found the exclamation mark irritating and couldn't help but click his tongue.
Yun Jin ignored him and kept her head down as she replied to their messages. The signal was not good, so messages were sent and received slowly. Five minutes after she sent her message, Liu Zhuang's message arrived first.
Liu Zhuang: Tell Hua Cheng I'll kill him.
"Why?" Hua Cheng protested, "Shouldn't I also be held responsible for your sneaking away?"
"Shouldn't we?" Yun Jin retorted.
Hua Cheng paused for a moment, then hugged her even tighter: "It's right, it's what I should do."
If anything really happens to Yun Jin, he wouldn't mind dying a thousand times over.
He suddenly fell silent. Yun Jin knew he was obsessing over something again, but she didn't intend to comfort him.
The willful patient who almost caused an accident deserves to be tormented by his conscience.
Yun Jin lowered her head and sent a warm text message to Li Yu, telling him that she and Hua Cheng were together.
Li Yu was in Chenjia Village. He was furious when he heard that Hua Cheng was stuck on the other side of the road. He was even more frantic when he saw Yun Jin's news. He kept sending text messages to ask how they were doing.
With a poor signal, everyone tacitly opted for a slower, but more stable, way to chat.
After briefly informing them of the situation, Li Yu also obtained reliable information that the rescue operation could not begin until tomorrow morning.
It only took less than a day.
Yun Jin breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to tell Hua Cheng the news, but when she turned around, she found that he had fallen asleep at some point.
I don't know how many things I thought about before going to sleep, so much so that my brow was still furrowed even after I fell asleep.
Although the targeted drugs he had spent a lot of money on could block the pain, they couldn't make him as energetic as before. He also lost a lot of weight, and the shirts that used to fit him perfectly were now loose and unsteady.
Yun Jin stared at him for a moment, then raised her hand to smooth the wrinkles between his brows.
"I'm not blaming you," she said.
Hua Cheng still looked distressed; it was unclear whether he had listened attentively.
Yun Jin lowered her eyes: "Although I'm a little angry, I really don't blame you."
Ultimately, he was just a few days late coming home. It was her sudden arrival that made the situation a bit serious. But compared to her previous willful and unconventional behavior, what was Hua Cheng's situation compared to that?
Amidst the clamor of the rain, Yun Jin sighed softly and reached out to touch the teeth marks on his shoulder.
Hua Cheng groaned in pain in his sleep, instinctively pulling her closer, his expression gradually easing.
In this small school where the roads in front and behind are blocked, there is no food, no bedding, only a pile of firewood and some water to drink. Fortunately, this situation will not last long and will end tomorrow morning.
Both Yun Jin and Hua Cheng are very good at enduring hunger. Although they haven't used this skill for many years, they don't feel rusty when they use it again.
Before they knew it, it was evening. Hua Cheng, who had slept too much during the day, was not sleepy at all. Seeing that Yun Jin was fast asleep, he secretly took off his coat and carefully wrapped her feet.
The annoying rain kept falling. A bolt of lightning struck, and Yun Jin's body trembled. Hua Cheng held her even tighter and patiently whispered comforting words.
On many rainy nights in the past, she would wake up from her dreams in a panic, as sad and distressed as a seven-year-old child. Only when she heard his voice could she fall asleep peacefully.
"Sleep, sleep, I'm here..."
A gentle promise is the best lullaby. Yun Jin put her hand inside his shirt and touched his heart, falling into a deeper sleep.
She woke up at 3 a.m. because of the heat.
Hua Cheng's body was burning hot, with an unnatural flush.
After taking two minutes to calm down, Yun Jin sat up in the darkness.
"Ugh..." Hua Cheng woke up with a start, instinctively grabbing her fingers, "Why are you awake?"
"I'm going to the restroom," Yun Jin said.
Hua Cheng could barely open his eyes, but he still sat up and said, "I'll stay with you."
Yun Jin pressed him back down: "Go back to sleep, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he took his phone and went out.
Hua Cheng still wanted to go with them, but he was delirious with fever and fell asleep again after struggling for a while.
Yun Jin took her phone and walked alone to the corner behind the kitchen, gently turning her watch once.
A few minutes later, she appeared at her home in 2013 and walked straight out as soon as she stood still.
There was a 24-hour pharmacy at the entrance of the residential area. She went there, selected a few medicines, grabbed two pieces of bread from the non-pharmacy shelf, and then quickly went to the cashier to pay.
"The total is 89 yuan," the shop assistant said.
Yun Jin handed over her phone.
Shop assistant: "?"
Yun Jin was stunned for a moment before she remembered that online payment didn't exist in 2013, but she had left in a hurry and hadn't brought any cash... and the phone she had with her was an iPhone 16.
The shop assistant looked at her with confusion, as if asking why she wanted to see fake apples. Was she showing off? But these fakes were so obviously fake, so big and long, they were really ugly.
Yun Jin pinched the bridge of her nose: "Excuse me, wait a moment. I'm going home to get the money now."
As soon as she finished speaking, an electronic voice came from the loudspeaker at the door saying "Welcome." She glanced over there habitually and unexpectedly met someone's gaze.
Hua Yu was slightly taken aback when she saw her: "What are you doing here?"
I saw her just the night before last, but for some reason it feels like we haven't seen each other in a long time. Yun Jin chuckled softly, "Shouldn't I be here?"
Hua Yu knew she lived in this neighborhood, but what he wanted to ask was why she wasn't sleeping at home at 3 a.m. and instead went to the pharmacy.
But he couldn't ask, or it would seem like he cared too much about her.
Yun Jin was unaware of how much inner monologue her rhetorical question stirred in Hua Yu. Upon seeing the familiar uniform on him, she raised an eyebrow slightly: "You went to work at that convenience store?"
Hua Yu didn't say anything. After handing the goods to be delivered to the pharmacy clerk, she casually glanced at the medicine on the cash register.
"...You have a fever?" He frowned.
Yun Jin: "You've come at the right time. Did you bring any money?"
"I brought it."
"I'll pay for it for you, I'll pay you back another day." Yun Jin patted his shoulder, told the clerk that he would pay, and then left with the items.
"Hey you..." Seeing that she had already run out, Hua Yu quickly took out all the money in her pocket and gave it to the shop assistant. She quickly chased after her and grabbed her arm. "If you have a fever, go to the hospital. What's the use of just taking medicine?"
Yun Jin was pulled to a stop by him, her gaze sliding over his tightly clenched hand before settling on his face: "I don't have a fever."
Hua Yu paused, then realized that her arm was cold, unlike the temperature of someone with a fever.
If you don't have a fever, why did you run out in the middle of the night to buy fever-reducing medicine?
As if to answer his question, Yun Jin said, "My husband has a fever."
Hua Yu abruptly released her hand, her previously unguarded expression instantly hardening: "Why should I pay for the medicine you bought for your husband?"
"I forgot to bring my money," Yun Jin said, shaking the medicine in her hand. "I'll pay you back another day."
He ran away after saying that.
Hua Yu stood there with a cold face, seemingly lost in thought for a long time. Finally, a shop assistant came out to give him his change, which brought him back to his senses. He then left expressionlessly.
After returning home, Yun Jin immediately turned the wristwatch on her wrist, and the surrounding air quickly distorted.
With her feet firmly planted on the muddy ground, Yun Jin glanced at the time on her phone, picked up the medicine, and turned around, only to meet familiar eyes once again.
My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively hid my watch behind my back.
"...What are you doing here?"
Hua Cheng seemed oblivious to the fleeting awkwardness on her face, and explained in a hoarse voice, "I was worried about you not coming back."
"oh……"
Yun Jin walked closer and, seeing no abnormality on his face, gradually felt relieved.
She wasn't afraid for him to know the secret about the watch, but she also didn't want him to know.
Although they are husband and wife, comrades-in-arms, and people who value each other the most, it doesn't mean that everything has to be completely honest with each other. Just as he couldn't have predicted that she would appear here today, she couldn't guarantee how he would react after learning the function of the watch.
If something is beyond our control, we should not say anything and minimize the risk.
"Wife," Hua Cheng approached, touched her arm, which was a little cold, "Have you finished using the restroom?"
"Um."
“Let’s go back to sleep,” Hua Cheng said, then noticed the plastic bag in her hand. “What’s this?”
"I just found it in the classroom," Yun Jin said, her expression unchanged. "Did you know you had a fever?"
Hua Cheng touched his face; it was a little hot.
“I was worried that if you burned for too long, something bad would happen, so I looked around again and luckily I found some medicine and food.” Yun Jin waved the things in her hand.
Hua Cheng stared at her for a while, then smiled and said, "So you weren't going to the toilet, you were looking for my medicine."
“I’m going to the toilet,” Yun Jin glanced at him, “and also looking for medicine.”
The two returned to the kitchen. Hua Cheng lay down in the straw, opening his arms to welcome her.
"Open your mouth," Yun Jin ordered, taking out the medicine.
Hua Cheng: "Ah—"
Yun Jin put two pills into his mouth and then fed him a mouthful of ibuprofen suspension.
Hua Cheng gulped down all the medicine, and the next second, a sweet bread was offered to his mouth.
"Eat up," Yun Jin said, taking a bite of her bread.
Hua Cheng was genuinely confused this time: "Where did you find them?"
He searched for a long time during the day but couldn't find anything to eat.
"Have you searched through the students' desks?" Yun Jin asked.
Hua Cheng suddenly realized: "No, that's not true."
The kitchen was dimly lit, and the two of them huddled together in a pile of straw, quickly finishing their bread.
Yun Jin touched his face; it didn't seem as hot as before. She breathed a slight sigh of relief and got up to turn off the light.
Hua Cheng lay lazily in the straw, glancing at the bread's expiration date before turning off the lights.
"Wait...wait, this bread was produced in 2013?" he exclaimed in shock. "It's expired more than ten years ago, spit it out right now!"
Snap!
Yun Jin turned off the light and returned to his side: "Stop talking nonsense, we've already eaten."
"...It'll make people sick." Hua Cheng was still in shock. "How could someone still have bread from over ten years ago? Or is this the only expired product you can buy here? It's been so many years and the taste hasn't changed at all. It's like bread has grown on the additives. Could the medicine be..."
It was too noisy, so Yun Jin covered his mouth and said, "Go to sleep!"
Hua Cheng grunted twice and became obedient.
Yun Jin quickly fell asleep, and in her sleep, she habitually put her hand inside his clothes, initially on his abdominal muscles, and later close to his heart.
Hua Cheng didn't sleep; the image of her instinctively hiding her phone when she saw him kept flashing through his mind.
He lay there quietly, staring blankly for a long time before nudging the person next to him.
“…Hmm?” Yun Jin mumbled.
Hua Cheng: "May I see your phone?"
"Okay." Yun Jin agreed and then went back to sleep.
Seeing how readily she agreed, Hua Cheng realized he was overthinking things.
They've known each other for eleven years and have long since become an inseparable part of each other; he should give her some trust.
...But then again, it was just a glance. His games were on her phone, and her notes and photos were all synced to his IP address.
They use too many things together, and a cell phone is just one of them. Looking at each other's cell phones is a very common thing, so he should take it in stride.
After much mental preparation, President Hua, who had finally regained his composure, solemnly took Yun Jin's phone.
Enter the password, unlock, and open various communication software.
No.
There was nothing there.
In the last hour, there hasn't been a single spam text message.
Hua Cheng put down his phone, hugged his wife, and stared blankly for a long time.
The two were woken up by noise the next morning. When they got up, they found that it was still raining, but a lot of people had come to the school. Liu Zhuang and his friends rushed to the front.
"Chengzi! Yunjin!"
"elder sister!"
"President Hua! President Yun!"
They shouted themselves hoarse, their emotions running deep.
Hua Cheng and Yun Jin felt inexplicably embarrassed and quickly left the kitchen.
"We're here," Hua Cheng said, yawning and waving.
Feng Che rushed to Yun Jin and grabbed her arm anxiously: "Sister, are you alright?"
"I didn't..."
Before Yun Jin could finish speaking, Liu Zhuang rushed over, his speed so fast that he became a blur.
Hua Cheng, who was standing nearby, turned and ran, shouting for his wife to help him as he ran.
Liu Zhuang was furious: "Stop right there, I won't hit you anymore!"
"You said the same thing last time, and you almost beat me to death back then."
"We're really not fighting this time!"
Hua Cheng wasn't fooled: "Then why did you pursue me?"
Liu Zhuang: "..."
The two of them are almost seventy years old combined. They made a huge fuss. Feng Che held Yun Jin's hand and shook his head helplessly: "Brother Hua is so carefree. Even at a time like this, he's still joking around with Brother Liu. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't care about anything else and would arrange for a medical team to check my sister's health first."
"I'm fine, no need to check." Yun Jin brushed his hand away.
Feng Che disagreed: "You're not a doctor, how do you know you're okay? Let a doctor take a look first."
Yun Jin ignored him, tidied her hair, and walked into the courtyard. Feng Che quickly raised his umbrella to shield her from the rain.
Today, it wasn't just their own people who came; there were also local staff members. Liu Zhuang and Hua Cheng ran off yelling and screaming, but she still had to maintain her composure and smile and thank everyone who came to the rescue.
Those who can participate in this poverty alleviation work are all people with rich social experience. One second they are shocked by the way Hua Cheng and Liu Zhuang greet each other, and the next second they can exchange pleasantries with Yun Jin as usual.
The roads in front of and behind the school have been cleared, and protective netting has been installed on the mountainside on both sides. There are no problems for the time being.
Yun Jin and her group returned to Chenjia Village to learn more about the progress of poverty alleviation work.
On the other side, Liu Zhuang finally caught Hua Cheng, pinned him down in the vegetable garden, and beat him a couple of times, finally venting his anger.
Hua Cheng's clothes, which he had finally managed to clean, became dirty and wet again. He lay in the vegetable garden and laughed a few times, then suddenly his eyes welled up with tears.
"...Stop trying to extort me, I didn't use any force at all." Upon seeing his expression, Liu Zhuang instantly became wary.
Hua Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he looked at him silently.
Liu Zhuang clicked his tongue and pulled him up from the ground: "What's wrong? Were you scared by what happened yesterday?"
"...I'm not that fragile."
"So what exactly happened?"
Hua Cheng fell silent, sitting in the mud, his eyes glazed over and lifeless.
Liu Zhuang frowned, and was about to ask a few more questions when he heard him whisper, "Brother Pang, it seems that Yun Jin is seeing someone else."
Liu Zhuang: "?"
After Hua Cheng finished speaking, his cheeks felt a little itchy. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe them, and a mud stain instantly appeared on his face.
He looked down at his dirty fingers and smiled silently: "She has someone else."
