Around 3 PM, they had dinner. After dinner, Huakai and Ye Yifan headed back. At this time of year, it gets dark around 4:30 PM, so it's safer to go back early.
Just as they were about to leave the village, Hua Lin stopped the car in front of them.
Ye Yifan stepped on the brake and looked at Hua Kai: "Should we go around or get out of the car?"
Hua Kai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go downstairs. If we don't, she might go to our house and cause trouble for my parents again."
Ye Yifan said, "That's true, let's see what she's up to."
The two then got out of the car.
Hua Lin had her head wrapped in a checkered headscarf, revealing only her facial features, but it was clear she had been crying.
She approached Huakai and pleaded, "Huakai, please help me find a job in the city too? I really don't want to be with Wang Shengli anymore. I know you hate me, but you're doing so much better than me now. You don't need to hold a grudge against me, right? Just consider it helping someone out, okay?"
Hua Kai frowned and said, "Helping others is my own choice. You're forcing me, which is not helping others. I've said it before, you and I can never be comrades-in-arms, we can only be enemies."
Hua Lin said anxiously, "Don't you know who Wang Shengli is? He beat me up when he was drunk. Look at the bruises on my face and neck. Can't you have any sympathy for me?"
Looking at the scars, Hua Kai felt no sympathy for Hua Lin anymore: "Hua Lin, don't forget, when you framed and plotted against me and Wang Shengli, if I hadn't been capable, I would be the one suffering now that I'm married to Wang Shengli. Do you think I would forgive you?"
"I've never understood it. You were clearly there that day, and you've admitted it now, but how did you wake up later? Where did you leave from?" Hua Lin had always had doubts about this.
Hua Kai laughed: "I went down through the window and ran into Ye Yifan. Thanks to you, that's how we met. He trusted me from the first meeting, so he helped me hide the fact that I went to Wang Shengli's house. Now you know, are you at ease? Then you should understand that I will not help you."
Hearing this, Hua Lin looked at Hua Kai and still didn't believe it: "That's the second floor, don't lie to me."
Hua Kai said, "Believe it or not, what's the point of me lying to you? Alright, you won't lose anything today, but at least you've cleared up the mystery in your heart. Now we're leaving."
Hua Lin looked at Hua Kai with resentment, but finally couldn't help asking Ye Yifan, "Captain Ye, Hua Kai is just a student. How could she have such great abilities to partner with you in business? What methods did she use?"
Ye Yifan turned to look at Hua Lin, frowned, and said, "You frog in a well, I don't want to waste my breath on you." After saying that, he got into the car.
Hua Kai looked at Hua Lin through the car window and said, "Your vision is too narrow. Bye-bye."
After saying that, Ye Yifan drove away, leaving Hua Lin standing at the village entrance. She really didn't understand Ye Yifan's meaning, and she didn't understand why Hua Kai's life was so good.
Ye Yifan drove Hua Kai to the school gate. Hua Kai didn't let him get out of the car, saying that she could go in by herself and that he should go back to his unit as soon as possible. She said that it was cold and it would get dark soon, and the road was slippery, so it would be safer to go back early.
However, Ye Yifan didn't leave, thinking he would leave after watching the flowers bloom and enter the school.
The flowers bloomed at the school gate, where Gu Yan, who was running after them, called out to them: "Little crybaby, wait for me."
Hua Kai stopped in her tracks: "Gu Yan, what a coincidence, why are you here so early?" Because she had to study at six o'clock, and it was not even five o'clock yet.
Gu Yan caught up with Hua Kai and said, "I was thinking of going to your class to find you. My dad bought some pastries from a well-known brand in the provincial capital and asked me to bring some to you and your brother. I didn't expect to run into you here." As he spoke, Gu Yan handed the pastry box to Hua Kai.
Hua Kai took it and said, "Please thank Uncle for me. I will definitely visit him after the exam when I have time."
At this moment, Ye Yifan walked over, stood next to Hua Kai, and asked her, "If you like this pastry, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you."
Hua Kai turned to look at Ye Yifan: "Why didn't you leave?"
Ye Yifan seemed to have swallowed a jar of jealousy: "You really want me to leave?"
Hua Kai was a little confused by Ye Yifan's attitude. This man's thoughts were not easy to understand: "No, is there something you need?"
Ye Yifan looked at Gu Yan and asked Hua Kai, "Aren't you going to introduce him? I didn't hear you say you have such a good friend at school?"
Gu Yan straightened his back and extended his hand to Ye Yifan: "Hello, I am Hua Kai's good friend, my name is Gu Yan."
Ye Yifan extended her hand, but the handshake was a bit too firm: "Hello, my name is Ye Yifan, Huakai's best friend."
Gu Yan felt the force in the other person's hand, so he increased his own: "I've never heard Hua Kai mention you before, it's nice to meet you."
Ye Yifan tightened his grip even more: "That's because you're not familiar enough with Hua Kai. Anyone who knows her knows me."
Gu Yan's hand was gripped so tightly it hurt, and his face turned red, but he didn't want to admit defeat. He used all his strength to hold Ye Yifan's hand: "I've known Hua Kai for more than ten years, so we should be very familiar with each other."
Ye Yifan gripped the other person's hand tightly: "How long you've known each other isn't that important, is it? Getting along is more important."
Hua Kai realized the two were competing. She hadn't expected this man to be so childish. Was he trying to see who was the best friend to her? Kindergarten behavior?
She quickly pulled their hands apart: "They're both my friends, so we're acquainted now." To be honest, Hua Kai felt that the atmosphere and feeling were a bit strange.
Gu Yan's hand was freed, and he secretly wiggled his fingers, deliberately putting on an angry expression towards Ye Yifan, and said to Hua Kai, "Little crybaby, how come I've never heard you mention this person before? Who is he?"
Hearing Gu Yan address him so affectionately, Ye Yifan clenched his fist: "Kai Kai, who is he?"
Hua Kai's mind raced. She could sense that Ye Yifan was interested in her, so was he jealous?
But Gu Yan didn't mean it that way; it was just a childish squabble.
What should I say? If these two keep talking like this, they're going to fight.
She quickly tugged at Ye Yifan's sleeve and said, "Gu Yan is my neighbor's grandson. We used to play together a lot during holidays when we were little. But his family moved to the Northwest and only came back recently. We happen to be in the same school, so Uncle Gu asked Gu Yan to bring me some food." She couldn't deny that this was her explanation, right? Because she had feelings for Ye Yifan, she really didn't want him to misunderstand.
After saying that, he turned to Gu Yan and said, "Gu Yan, this is my business partner. I've mentioned him to you before, but I didn't say his name. I'm able to do business thanks to Ye Yifan."
