"you!"
"Did you two kiss?"
Yu Caihong covered her mouth in shock, remembering to keep her voice down.
Yu Jiu was tricked by her, and then she guessed what bad thing she had done. She immediately became anxious, covering her own mouth with one hand and her mouth with the other, and said angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Let's go, let's go somewhere further away to talk."
Yu Caihong excitedly pulled Yu Jiu to the courtyard gate. At this distance, as long as they lowered their voices, neither the male nor female educated youth could hear them.
"Tell me, you must have kissed them, otherwise how would you explain your lips being so swollen?"
She crossed her arms and asked confidently.
Is it really that swollen?
Yu Jiu puffed out her cheeks, took her hand down from her mouth, and asked with a pitiful expression, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing, almost as if Xi Shi were clutching her heart.
A beautiful woman frowning is definitely attractive.
Yu Caihong really wanted to deny it to make her happy, but the facts proved that it really was swollen; anyone with eyes could see it! So she nodded silently.
Yu Jiu hugged the pillar and gently banged her head against it to express her grief and indignation. If the swelling didn't go down by tomorrow and someone else saw it, she would curse Xu Zijiang to death, that bastard! If you want to kiss, then kiss, but why are you biting? Are your teeth itching?
"You two got together today? You agreed to date him?"
"No, I don't want to be his wife!"
Yu Jiu shook his head dejectedly and stopped hugging the pillar.
"Why? Tell me quickly, aren't we good friends? Look, I've told you everything, even about the captain's... you know. I'm still a virgin, don't I care about my reputation?"
Yu Caihong stood with her hands on her hips, using both threats and inducements to get a glimpse of gossip.
Yu Jiu was a little embarrassed, actually because of this matter. She leaned close to Caihong's ear and whispered.
"That's why! I really can't take it, I'll die! We kissed today, and he still wouldn't let go of my waist. My waist is all purple, covered in his handprints. He's so fierce, I don't think I can handle it."
Sincerity begets sincerity, Yu Jiu, despite her shame, also told Yu Caihong about it.
"Oh My God!"
Yu Caihong covered her mouth again. This is too shocking! My God, they kissed, hugged, and even had their hands on each other's waists! These two are so bold! Aren't they afraid of getting into trouble?!
She looked intently at Yu Jiu and asked in an even softer voice.
"So you...touched it? Otherwise, how did you know it was really big?"
Her words, though soft, were deafening. Yu Caihong was truly speechless. Yu Jiu was devastated. How could she be more outspoken than someone who had been reborn?
Yu Jiu nodded in shame and indignation, "Yes, she touched me! She didn't do it on purpose!"
"Wow!!!"
Yu Caihong felt she couldn't go on like this. She covered her mouth, pulled Yu Jiu a little further away, and left the educated youth settlement.
"You, you really touched her? You're so bold! Do you two intend to...?"
"No! No! It's a misunderstanding! I just bumped into him by accident! Anyway, he's really fierce, so don't ask anymore. I won't give it to his girlfriend, it's impossible!"
Yu Jiu's face was so hot it could be used to boil water. She quickly denied Yu Caihong's guess and ran back to take a shower.
No, she couldn't think about it anymore. Just thinking about what had just happened made her feel so hot she felt like she was about to burst into flames. She couldn't even hold it with one hand, and it was so hard and hot, like a branding iron. It was terrifying!
Yu Jiu didn't even boil water; he took a cold shower to cool himself down.
Yu Caihong watched her fleeing figure and chuckled. "Who would believe you're not going to be the captain's wife?! Your heart is completely set on her! Look at how shy you are when you mention her!"
Yu Caihong is also a girl, and she knows all too well what it means to say one thing and mean another. She means that if the captain is really that great, then someone will suffer in the future.
She shook her head, sympathized with Yu Jiu for three seconds, then locked the door and went back to sleep.
The next day, Yu Jiu felt her head was very heavy and she was dizzy. She tried several times before she could sit up and lean against the headboard. She didn't have the strength to get down.
At this moment, Yu Caihong had finished washing up and returned, and she urged her.
"Xiao Jiu, stop lying in bed and get down quickly, or you'll be late for work."
"Uh-huh."
Yu Jiu unconsciously hummed a few times, staring blankly with her eyes open, looking listless, but not like she hadn't woken up yet.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Caihong reached out and touched her forehead; it was a little hot.
"Oh dear, you don't have a fever, do you? You seem a little hot."
"I think so. I feel really dizzy. I'm not going to work today. Can you ask the team leader for a day off for me?"
Yu Jiu said weakly, her whole body was limp, she couldn't hold on any longer, and she slid back down onto the bed.
"Okay, taking leave is no problem, the team leader will definitely approve it. Do you need any medicine? I'll go to the clinic and buy you some."
"No need, I'll take a nap first, and eat when I feel unwell after waking up."
"Okay, I'm going to work now. If you're not feeling well, remember to go to the clinic. Do you know where the team's clinic is? It's right next to the school, at the fork in the road next to the team leader's house. Go down the right-hand side and you'll see it. Do you hear me?"
Yu Caihong pulled her blanket down and loudly gave her instructions.
"Yes, yes, I heard you."
Yu Jiu covered himself with the thin blanket again, covering his head.
Seeing that Yu Jiu was feeling unwell, Yu Caihong knew she was upset, so she didn't bother her anymore and went to work. Anyway, as long as she told the team leader that Yu Jiu wasn't feeling well, the team leader would definitely come to see her.
As she expected, when she told Xu Zijiang that Yu Jiu was not feeling well and needed to ask for leave, Xu Zijiang didn't even say whether he would approve it or not, and strode away, even running.
Tsk tsk tsk, they're in such a hurry.
Yu Caihong touched her chin, watching with great interest. Ah, gossip, no, love is so beautiful!
Xu Zi drove at breakneck speed to the educated youth settlement. Yu Jiu was already fast asleep. He bent down to check her temperature. It was a little hot, but not too hot. He could take some medicine and she would be fine.
Xu Zijiang quietly left again, went home and cooked some porridge, and also bought some medicine to bring back. He let the porridge cool down so it wasn't too hot before gently waking Yu Jiu up.
"Get up and have some porridge, then take your medicine."
"I don't want to take medicine."
Yu Jiu was delirious from the fever and didn't know who was who. She was annoyed by the thought of taking medicine, so she covered her ears and refused.
"How can you get better without taking your medicine? Listen to me, get up now."
"I don't!"
Yu Jiu curled up in the blanket. She was already petite, and although she was tall, she had a small frame. When she curled up, she looked like a tiny ball. Xu Zi easily picked her up and held her in his arms. He changed his tactics.
"Okay, you don't need to take the medicine. Just drink your porridge and I won't let you take the medicine."
He coaxed.
Yu Jiu was lifted up and sat up. She was barely able to wake up. When she saw that it was Xu Zijiang, she closed her eyes again and muttered resentfully.
"It's all your fault."
"Why are you blaming me again?"
Xu Zijiang felt both distressed and angry. Why did she always push all the blame onto him?
He scooped a spoonful of porridge and held it to Yu Jiu's lips. Yu Jiu reluctantly opened her mouth and ate it. Only after swallowing did she open her eyes and glare at him softly.
"How can it not be your fault? If it weren't for you, would I have taken a cold shower? Would I have gotten sick if I hadn't taken a cold shower?"
