Xu Zi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips as she shook him, quite pleased with her intimacy.
"I'm listening, I'm listening, and I think what you said makes perfect sense! After we finish eating, I'll organize everyone to retreat immediately and head into the mountains. I guarantee we'll complete the mission!"
As he spoke, he lazily raised his hand and gave Yu Jiu a somewhat informal salute, looking both roguish and handsome, with a smug smile that made people grit their teeth in anger.
If this weren't a youth settlement, Yu Jiu would have bitten him. This bastard, this scoundrel, always speaks with such an improper tone. Where did her serious, handsome, righteous, and awe-inspiring savior from her past life go? Give him back to her!
"I'm serious. Don't try to fool me. I genuinely believe there will be a major flood. This is very important. Don't treat this like a joke. Be serious!"
Yu Jiu cupped his rough, handsome face in her hands, and spoke earnestly, word by word, her clear almond-shaped eyes filled with worry.
"I'm very serious, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Xu Zijiang suppressed his smile, turned his head slightly, and quickly pecked Yu Jiu's palm. Yu Jiu, tickled, immediately pulled her hand back and rubbed it against her waist.
This is a youth settlement, there are so many eyes watching them! Has Xu Zi lost all shame?! He even dares to steal a kiss at a time like this!
"I originally planned to wait two more days. If the rain continued and the water level continued to rise, I would organize everyone to evacuate first. Since you are so worried, it is not impossible to leave two days earlier. In any case, it is all for everyone's safety."
After you finish your meal, pack your things. Try not to bring too much; just bring some money and food. There are no showers on the mountain. Whether you bring clothes or not is optional, but it will be cold in the rain, so wear warm clothes.
Xu Zi gave a series of instructions, quickly finished the remaining fried rice, hurriedly washed his lunchbox and the bowl with leftover wine, and left to organize everyone's evacuation.
Yu Jiu glanced at the clean, gleaming bowl and fell into deep thought for the first time.
What does Xu Zijiang take her for? He won't even let her wash a dish. Is he afraid she won't wash it properly, or is he worried she'll cut her hand while washing the dish? She thought to herself, judging from the way she beat up Li Nannan, she doesn't seem like the kind of spoiled young lady who can't do anything, right?
"Xiao Jiu, what did the captain just say? Did I hear that right? He actually wants us all to go up the mountain? In this weather, aren't we going to get struck by lightning? There are trees everywhere up there!"
Yu Caihong jumped out impatiently and asked, her face full of shock, "Who would want to go out in this heavy rain!"
"There are caves in the mountains. You can squeeze into a cave and you won't get struck by lightning."
As Yu Jiu explained, she packed her things, her beautiful face full of determination. In any case, she would not stay in the team and risk her life.
"But there's no need for that. Where did the flood come from? The rain was a bit heavy, but that's how typhoon days are—strong winds, heavy rain, and lots of thunder and lightning. How could that have anything to do with a flood?"
Yu Caihong had just started her period these past two days, and her stomach was uncomfortable. She was also feeling cold and didn't want to suffer in the rain. There were caves on the mountain, but it wouldn't be easy to squeeze everyone in. They would definitely be crammed together, and it wouldn't be as comfortable as lying in her own bed.
"This is just in case, listen to me, Sister Rainbow, hurry up and pack your things. You don't trust me, but don't you trust the captain? Think about it, he was worried that those houses would collapse, so he told everyone to go and hide in other people's houses. The Huang family and the Du family didn't believe him, but the Shen family did, so they were fine."
How are the others? They're hospitalized!
Yu Jiu said decisively. After she finished speaking, she turned back to pack her things. She tried to put the things she couldn't take with her higher up so they wouldn't get wet.
That makes sense. Yu Caihong and several other educated youths were convinced and quickly packed their things like her. The others, whether they believed it or not, did not dare to disobey Xu Zijiang and also packed their luggage. Only Li Nannan refused to move. She sat on her bed and tilted her head back mockingly.
"I think the captain has been blinded by greed. He actually listened to this nonsense. What flood? How long has it been raining? How can there be a flood so soon? Does that mean we have to live in fear every year at this time? Some people are cowardly, and they even encouraged the captain to do this kind of stupid thing. They are really ignorant and shameless!"
If there really was a flood, wouldn't the leaders know? Wouldn't the commune have notified everyone to evacuate? So, there's only one smart person left? I don't believe it. I'm not leaving. Let's see what Xu Zijiang can do to me!
She slowly swung her little feet on the bed, saying inspiring words. Everyone hesitated for a moment, but almost got swept away by her.
Yu Jiu was initially too lazy to pay attention to her, but she was also afraid that if she really didn't leave and ended up dying at the educated youth settlement, she would be a burden to Xu Zijiang. What she feared was that she wouldn't die so easily and would be trapped here, forcing Xu Zijiang to risk coming back to rescue her. Regardless of her character, she was still a life, and it was Xu Zijiang's duty to abandon her; he certainly couldn't just leave her to fend for herself.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiu immediately pursed her lips, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened, she rolled up her sleeves, walked towards Li Nannan, and looked down at her.
"You don't need to name names anymore, just point out my name directly. Yes, it was me who encouraged the captain to evacuate, so what? I'm afraid of death. If you're not afraid of death, you might as well die now. Don't drag others down with you."
I'm giving you two choices: either pack your things and come up the mountain with everyone, or you die now. Choose one, so the team leader won't have to go through the trouble of rescuing you later. I'm not willing, do you hear me?
She curled her lip, a cold smile playing on her lips as she declared domineeringly. She simply didn't want Xu Zijiang to save such an obnoxious person; she wouldn't allow it!
Yu Jiu also has a bit of a possessive streak; neither of them should say anything to the other.
"I don't care whether you like it or not. What does it have to do with me if you want to take it personally? I'm not talking about you. Can't I even talk to myself? Besides, why should I choose? Do you think you're the captain just because you've climbed up to him? What gives you the right to order me around like this?"
Let me tell you, I, Li Nannan, am not afraid of you! Go ahead and hit me again if you dare! I don't believe that fat Chen Yuan can change his story and save you this time! I'm staying at the educated youth settlement, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just…”
Her smug words provoked Yu Jiu, her face full of resentment, her spirited little face even twisted. She hated Yu Jiu to death, wishing she could fight her right now. Why? Why could Yu Jiu become so arrogant just because she climbed up to Xu Zijiang? Why did she bully her? Why did she steal everyone's attention?
She refused to accept it! She just wouldn't accept it!
"Smack!"
Yu Jiu slapped her hard across the face, twisting her cheek.
"You talk too much. Why don't you just say you want to die? I'll grant your wish!"
