Maybe it was because he was too tired from teaching during the day, but Su Ruchu hugged Chen 꼎 and chatted for a while, then soon fell asleep.

The girl was sleeping soundly with her hands on Chen 꼎's arms.

Chen Ru slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the sleeping Su Ruchu, and quietly pulled his hand out of the other's arms.

Then he got up quietly, opened the door and walked out of the house.

The night in the mountains is very quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects coming from the nearby bushes.

The temperature was a little low. Chen Xiao rubbed his cold arms, then walked up the stairs and stood on the playground.

Look up at the sky, and the stars are within your reach.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, then stood in the yard and laughed.

Feng Pojun appeared beside Chen Xiao quietly without anyone noticing.

"Boss, will you be back tomorrow?"

Chen 꼎 shook his head, looked up at Feng Pojun, and handed him a cigarette.

Feng Pojun hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, lit one and sat down beside the playground to play with Chen.

It's said to be next to the playground, but in fact there are just a few rocks at your feet and a very steep slope in front of you.

With such a school environment, even in the city, parents would never dare to send their children to study here.

Chen Xiao sat on a big rock, his feet dangling in the air, looking at the dark night sky above the mountain.

"Mr. Feng, what do you think I can do to get her to go back with me?"

Feng Pojun turned his head and glanced at Chen Yu, then spoke after a moment of hesitation.

"I am a rough man, and I don't know how to answer the boss's question. But..."

"I know Miss Su is a very good person. In such an environment, Miss Su can persist. I admire her."

Chen Xiao sighed and said nothing.

After smoking a cigarette in silence, Chen 꼎 spoke again.

"I may stay here for a few days. Tomorrow morning, you should go back to Shudu and look for Lin Xue."

Feng Pojun's eyes flashed and he remembered.

Lin Xue, the biggest minister who helped Chen Ruo to overthrow the Zhao family in Yunhai, decisively used the information in his hand to make a deal with Chen Ruo before the umbrella fell.

From then on, Lin Xue left the sea of ​​clouds and came to Shudu.

In April, the Medal Club branch in Shudu was already opened.

At that time, Feng Pojun also came as a representative of the club to attend the opening ceremony.

I have to say that although this woman has been a mistress for so many years, she is really smart.

At the most critical moment, he negotiated with Chen 꼎 and got 20% of the club's shares.

Now it seems that as long as Chen Yu does not fall, this 20% stake is enough for Lin Xue to live a worry-free life.

"Go find Lin Xue and borrow a car from the club, then go buy some supplies."

“The supplies here are too scarce.”

Feng Pojun nodded and asked, "Boss, is there anything else you need to buy specifically?"

"Food, snacks, books for the kids, some school bags, toys, and sporting goods..."

Chen listed all the items he could remember in one breath.

“Buy as much as you can.”

"yes."

Chen 꼎 suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, buy another notebook and a SLR camera."

Feng Pojun gently reminded: "Boss, there is no internet here."

Chen shook her head: "It's okay. If she were to come here for the first time, I think she would like to take pictures and record the smiles of the children."

After making sure that Chen 꼎 had finished speaking, Feng Pojun stood up.

"I'll start now."

Chen 꼎 frowned and said, "It's so dark, why are you walking? Let's go in the morning."

Feng Pojun grinned and said, "Boss, I am a reconnaissance soldier. Although I am old, this little road is nothing."

"I'm leaving now. I should be able to reach the city by daybreak."

Chen Rou thought about it and realized that there was no place for Feng Pojun to rest if he stayed here, so he reminded him.

"Be careful on the road."

Feng Pojun turned around and disappeared into the night.

Chen Ruo sat alone on a rock, gazing into the distance.

After a while, a piece of clothing was gently draped over Chen's back.

Chen 꼎 raised his head and smiled at Su Ruchu behind him.

"Did my words wake you up?"

Su Ruochu shook her head. "I am a light sleeper, and the children often get up to go to the toilet at night."

Seeing Chen 꼎놚 taking the clothes from his body to give to him, Su Ruochu hurriedly stopped him.

"It's windy and cold in the mountains, be careful not to catch a cold."

Chen 꼎 smiled and shook his head, insisting on putting it on Su Ruochu.

"I'm fine, handsome boy, I'm very excited."

After saying that, he raised his arm and waved at Su Ruchu.

Su Ruochu smiled, walked over and was gently lifted by Chen Ruo to sit on his lap.

The two of them sat on the stone, Su Ruchu did not dare to look, and put his hands around Chen Ru's neck.

"Are you scared?" Chen asked jokingly.

Su Ruchu nodded and shook his head.

"I'm not afraid during the day, but it's still pretty scary at night."

"Aren't you afraid living here alone?"

"I was so scared during the first few days that I didn't even dare to turn off the lights at night."

Su Ruchu smiled a little embarrassedly, "But I'll get used to it in the next few days with the children accompanying me."

"The children here are really nice, and the villagers are also very nice to me."

Chen 꼎 hugged Su Ruchu, holding her little hand, feeling a little cold.

"You really don't plan to go back with me?"

Su Ruochu was a little nervous, as if she was afraid that Chen 꼎 would use force and take her away by force.

"I applied to move here myself, but now that I'm with you, I can't pay it back. And..."

"You promised to support all my decisions."

Chen 꼎 sighed.

"When you applied for graduate school, I supported you unconditionally."

"You said you want to study journalism and media, and I support that."

"But now you suddenly run to the mountains to teach again, and it's hard for me... to support you."

Chen looked into Su Ruchu's eyes and said, "I know you too well. You are a kind person and you can easily empathize with others. I am worried that you will not stay here..."

Su Ruochu suddenly raised his hand and covered Chen 꼎's mouth.

"I promise you, I will go back to school after the summer vacation, okay?"

"Also, I can promise you that we'll get married after I graduate, okay?"

Chen Ru looked at Su Ruchu and forced a smile.

Su Ruochu hugged Chen 꼎's neck nervously.

"What's up? Are you...really angry?"

Chen 꼎 shook his head, stared into the other person's eyes and asked softly.

"What about after graduation?"

“Do you plan to continue working in the news media industry in the future?”

Su Ruchu was silent, obviously hesitant.

Chen 꼎 looked at the other party and asked softly.

"Wife, what do you think in your heart? Can you tell me clearly?"

Su Ruchu was stunned and remained silent for two seconds before speaking softly.

"I...I don't know either."

"Do you remember the college entrance examination that year? It only took you one month to get a much higher score than mine."

"That's when I knew my boyfriend was a very smart and talented person."

"Then you go to college, you become better and better, your business becomes more and more successful, and you make more and more money."

"You are surrounded by so many beautiful and outstanding girls, and even some girls around me are secretly asking about you..."

"At first, I didn't mind, but later, as you became more and more outstanding, I suddenly found that I didn't seem to have any advantages over other girls when I was with you..."

"I feel like I'm not worthy of you."

Chen Ruo opened his mouth wide, but was stopped by Su Ruochu just as he opened his mouth.

"Just listen to me first."
