Chapter 43

"I haven't changed my clothes yet, they're getting dirty," Shen Yuntang stretched out his hand to pull him up, "You too, change your clothes..."
Before he could finish his words, Cheng Yeran grabbed his hand and he lost balance and fell beside Cheng Yeran.
If it was their previous bed, his chin would have been broken if he fell like this, but this time the touch was very soft, and the whole person felt like he was falling into a cloud, but it was not purely soft, there was support.
His body seemed to be supported by someone, and his tired body instantly relaxed.
"How about it? The moment you lie on it, do you want to close your eyes and sleep?" Cheng Yeran closed his eyes, as if he was back home. "My mattress is of this brand, but my bed is bigger and more comfortable. If you have the chance, you can come to my house and lie on my bed."
"Why should I go to your house and lie on your bed? Don't you hate outsiders entering your room the most?" Shen Yuntang thought that Cheng Yeran didn't want anyone to enter their house, so he specially locked the door and equipped each room with a lock. He would lock all the doors of the house when he went out, and also lock the doors when he went to bed at night.
"Can you be like others?" Cheng Yeran blurted out, and then he realized that at home
Whispering Wind
When he was at home, he particularly hated others entering his room, thinking that it was his private territory. From childhood to adulthood, his friends had never entered his room. His parents could enter his room but could not lie on his bed.
His parents also respected him and never touched his bed, but now he actually invited Shen Yuntang to his house and let her sleep in his bed! If his friends knew about this, they would definitely say that he valued women over friendship. If his parents knew about this, would they suspect that he was in love?
When he thought of the word love, he felt a tingling sensation in his heart. How could he possibly use the word love to describe Shen Yuntang? He liked women. Although Shen Yuntang was a boy, he was also a man. How could he possibly feel in love with her?
But if he said that he didn't like Shen Yuntang, he would feel guilty, as he always felt that his feelings for Shen Yuntang went beyond the scope of good friends.
When he came back to his senses, he happened to hear Shen Yuntang say: "Didn't you say I was someone else before? How come I am not someone else now?"
"When?" Cheng Yeran also remembered, "Was it the time when I bought the tofu mold? I didn't say that because I wanted to hide the online shopping. From now on, I will tell you anything you want to know about my affairs. There are no secrets between us."
He turned over, lying on his side and propping up his head to look at Shen Yuntang: "I was hiding a secret in my heart at the time, and it made me feel suffocated. Now I want to tell you everything that has happened to me since I was a child, and what I did every minute of every day."
When Shen Yuntang heard him say this, he looked up at him and felt that his gaze was so hot, as if it was full of love, as if there was no room for anyone else in this world except himself.
It must be an illusion. Shen Yuntang looked away. "What does every minute and every second mean?"
"It's time." Cheng Yeran took out his cell phone. "Look at the number on it. One movement is one second, and sixty seconds is one minute."
"I can't read." Shen Yuntang would subconsciously feel inferior when he mentioned his illiteracy. On the one hand, it was because Xia Xiaowu always looked down on him in his previous life because he was illiterate. On the other hand, it was because he felt that he was increasingly unable to reach Cheng Yeran's level.
He was just a country boy who only knew how to wash clothes, cook and farm. Even Xia Xiaowu often said that he was not worthy of him and that he should be thankful that they were born in the same village, otherwise he would not even have the possibility of knowing him.
If Cheng Yeran had not happened to travel through time and space to become the lazy man in this life, he would not even have the possibility of knowing Cheng Yeran, let alone talking to him.
"Can I teach you how to write?" Cheng Yeran could see the loneliness in his eyes. It was indeed miserable without the opportunity to study and learn calligraphy. He remembered that his grandfather always told him when he was a child that illiterate people were blind, and asked him to study hard.
"You teach me? Are you sure? I'm not a child anymore. I learn much slower than a child." In his previous life, when Shen Yuntang was despised by Xia Xiaowu for being illiterate, he also tried to ask Xia Xiaowu if he could teach him to write. Xia Xiaowu said that reading and writing should be learned from childhood, and he would not be able to learn it well at his age, not to mention that he was so stupid that it was even more impossible for him to learn it.
He was worried that Cheng Yeran would teach him how to write with good intentions, but would be disappointed in the end when he discovered that Cheng Yeran was so stupid that he couldn't learn it at all.
When you like someone, you always want to show your good side to that person, and you are afraid that the other person will look at you with disappointment.
"You are so smart, of course you can learn it." Cheng Yeran didn't know where his inferiority complex came from.
"Am I smart? Are you sure you are not comforting me?" Shen Yuntang felt that he was just lying to her.
"Of course you are smart. You do everything so well. You can cook, sew clothes and quilts, and know what vegetables to plant in what season. The chickens and ducks in our family are so fat, all thanks to you. You are so good and beautiful. You are simply Nuwa's biological son. If you lived in our time, you would have become the focus of everyone's attention. We would have to give you the title of a beautiful boy once in thirty thousand years!" Cheng Yeran couldn't help but praise him. The more he praised him, the more excited he became. Fortunately, his mobile phone had no internet, otherwise he might have recommended Shen Yuntang to everyone everywhere, from his appearance to his personality to all the skills he had. If this was not a time travel, but a filming of a show, Shen Yuntang was really a boy group idol, and he would definitely become Shen Yuntang's number one fan!
"Any guy in the village can do the farm work you mentioned." Shen Yuntang didn't expect that he could praise these little things in life so much. No wonder she was attracted to him.
"Can others compare with you? They are definitely not as good as you. The chickens and ducks you raise must be the most beautiful and delicious in the village. Even the vegetables you grow are the crispest and tenderest in the village! Can other guys do it so well? And the clothes you make are also the best looking. Otherwise, why can I become the most handsome guy in the village when I wear the clothes you make?" Cheng Yeran never had any other guys in his eyes. He even felt that Shen Yuntang was the only guy in the whole village.
"Alright, alright, stop blowing. Blowing flowers won't change the fact that I can't learn to write well." Shen Yuntang couldn't lie still any longer. He sat up and looked at the other boxes on the ground. "What are those? Didn't you say you wanted to decorate the room? It will be dark soon and I won't be able to see."
It's already evening, and there's only a little light left. I can only light the oil lamp for a while, which is tiring for my eyes.
Cheng Yeran followed him out of bed and unpacked the packages, which contained quilts, pillows, sheets and quilt covers. "Although the quilt you made is very good and smells like sunshine, it's a bit too heavy. I've had sleep paralysis dreams many times."
"What does sleep paralysis have to do with my quilt?" Shen Yuntang looked around vigilantly, "I hope nothing unclean has come into our house. Too many people have died in the village recently..."
"I heard that if there is something pressing on your chest when you sleep, you will have nightmares. Sleep paralysis does not mean you are literally being pressed by a ghost, but rather that you are awake but your body is not." Cheng Yeran would watch some popular science videos from marketing accounts during his free time on filming. He didn't know whether they were true or not. His agent once told him to watch less useless stuff, but it turned out that these things are still very useful. At least this knowledge can make him appear very knowledgeable in front of Shen Yuntang.
The new quilt felt like it was covered with a cloud, and the pillow was so comfortable. The two of them lay side by side in the new quilt and couldn't help but sigh in comfort.
Shen Yuntang asked him: "Do you people in the future all sleep in clouds?"
"This is the power of technology, so people should read books and learn knowledge." Cheng Yeran propped up his head and looked at him, continuing his previous proposal: "We will write in simplified Chinese in the future, and you write in traditional Chinese here. It just so happens that I also need to learn it all over again. Why don't we do it together? I'll go buy some books."
Shen Yuntang's eyelids had closed comfortably, but he opened them again when he heard this. In fact, he also wanted to learn, but Xia Xiaowu had belittled him too harshly in his previous life, and that psychological shadow still remained. Cheng Yeran was gradually dispelling the shadow in his heart.
"Since you insist, I will learn with you. But I'm stupid, so you can't blame me if I can't learn it." Shen Yuntang was afraid of being scolded. After being belittled, he didn't dare to do that thing again.
"How is that possible? I hope you don't mind me being stupid." Cheng Yeran's eyelids were already closed, and he fell asleep after saying this.
…
They would lock the door of their room during the day to prevent others from seeing things in the room, and would even cover the bed with old sheets.
Early in the morning, Shen Yuntang was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen when he heard the chickens clucking very loudly from the chicken coop. Cheng Yeran's cries were even louder than the chickens'. Shen Yuntang thought he had stepped on chicken poop. Just when he was thinking that it was really troublesome, he was making a fuss over such a small matter like a little child, when he saw Cheng Yeran running over excitedly holding an egg, "Look, look! Our chickens have laid eggs!"
Shen Yuntang has been raising chickens since he was a child. He is used to seeing chickens laying eggs and does not think there is anything exciting about it.
"Do you want to eat?" Shen Yuntang asked him.
"Why should we eat it? This is the first egg laid by our chicken. Won't it hatch chicks?" Cheng Yeran protected the egg in his hand, fearing that Shen Yuntang would take it and beat it into the pot.
Shen Yuntang wanted to buy the chickens for eggs, but now seeing Cheng Yeran was so reluctant to let them go, he had to compromise. He was also glad that he bought a rooster to breed with the hens, otherwise the eggs would not be able to hatch chicks: "Okay, then hatch the chicks and eat them when they grow up."
"Shouldn't I raise the first chick like my own child?" When Cheng Yeran first bought these chicks, he thought he was recording a show and raised them like pets. He also thought about taking them home to continue raising them after the show. These chickens and ducks have different meanings.
But Shen Yuntang looked at him like he was crazy and said, "Then keep this one and don't have any other children. I'm so tired every day.
Whispering Wind
I take care of them hard, not to make them my children, but to eat them. ”
"I see. You are so nice. Let me take care of the chickens and ducks from now on. After all, they are my children." Cheng Yeran happily ran back and put the eggs back into the chicken coop, hoping that the hen would hatch a beautiful chick.
Shen Yuntang wondered if he was really twenty-five years old? I wouldn't be deceived by him, right? I can't even read, and I just read what he made up.
However, the photo on the ID card yesterday did not look like a child, but he was not 25 years old either. Instead, he looked like a teenager of 18 or 19 years old.
After dinner, when he opened the door to sell tofu, his cousin came over again. It had been a while since the last time he came. This time he was in a good mood and was smiling happily. Shen Yuntang knew at a glance that he was trying to show off something again.
Sure enough, the first thing the cousin said was to brag about his husband going to school in the county: "My husband is going to take the exam next year. This year he will go to school in the county. It's a famous academy in the county. Most people can't get in. You need someone to recommend you. Oh! You still don't understand what I'm saying. How can you little villagers understand the affairs of scholars?"
When he said this, he deliberately glanced at Cheng Yeran beside him, thinking, what would happen even if Cheng Yeran was reborn? He just became more diligent, planting some crops and selling tofu, but he would never be able to turn things around in his entire life, let alone reach his level.
"Your husband is going to study, will you go with him?" Cheng Yeran asked him.
Shen Yunfeng didn't expect him to ask this question and immediately became alert. Could it be that Cheng Yeran wanted to force him when Xia Xiaowu was not around, ruin his reputation, make the whole village despise him, and make his husband divorce him? How vicious!
But on second thought, Cheng Yeran was so cowardly in his previous life, how could he do anything to force him? He probably just wanted to pursue him and make him change his mind.
If my cousin knew that Cheng Yeran was showing kindness to him, he would definitely be furious. It’s a good idea to think so.
"He will go to the academy to study and live directly in the academy. He cannot bring his family with him. I will stay at home." Shen Yunfeng deliberately revealed the news that he would stay in the village and let Cheng Yeran handle it. Anyway, no matter what he did, he would tell his cousin everything and let his cousin know that he was so charming and that he was the person that Xia Xiaowu and Cheng Yeran cared about the most.
"If you don't go with him, aren't you afraid that he will go out and have affairs with other women? He is a person..." Cheng Yeran deliberately paused, "You should understand, I won't say more."
"You, you are talking nonsense, my husband only loves me! And he is going there to study, how could he do those dirty things!" Shen Yunfeng was very angry, thinking that Cheng Yeran was too despicable, deliberately provoking their relationship, didn't he just want to make them separate so that he could take advantage of the situation!
He just wanted to make his cousin jealous and didn't really want to separate from Xia Xiaowu. No matter how good Cheng Yeran became now, he could never be an official in his life. He was not even as good as Xia Xiaowu's little finger!
Shen Yunfeng originally came here to show off, but ended up being so angry with Cheng Yeran that he left.
After Shen Yunfeng left, Cheng Yeran turned around and saw Shen Yuntang frowning, "Why, are you still angry with him? How about I call him back and have another fight with him to make you feel better?"
"Nothing." Shen Yuntang just felt strange. Xia Xiaowu didn't go to the county to study in his previous life, so why did he have to take the exam in advance in this life? Judging from his cousin's personality, once Xia Xiaowu becomes the county magistrate, he will definitely come to them and deliberately make things difficult for them. Then their lives will be difficult.
