Lu Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It seems he's a very cunning person. Getting him to talk won't be easy, but nothing stays secret forever..."
He'll eventually speak up; if he doesn't, we'll create opportunities to pry his mouth open. As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Ye Ran nodded in agreement. When she looked up, she saw the educated youth settlement right in front of her. She was about to speak.
But then she heard her father calling her from behind. She turned around in surprise and asked, "Dad, what brings you here?"
Ye Jun gave her a reproachful look and said irritably, "And you're one to talk! You've been seeing someone off for so long, I thought you were lost!"
I waited and waited, but you didn't come back, so I had to come out to look for you. Who knew I'd end up at the educated youth settlement, and you'd only just arrived!
Unbeknownst to Ye Ran, Lu Yi had been walking slower and slower, even stopping frequently, without Ye Ran noticing at all.
However, Lu Yi didn't even notice, which Ye Ran found a little strange. Then she realized that it must be because he was analyzing the problem for her. She really had delayed him again. Ye Ran looked at him apologetically.
It has to be said that Ye Ran was too naive and didn't understand some of the subtle thoughts of men, while Lu Yi accepted it with a calm expression.
Some even shamelessly said, "It's alright, Uncle. Ranran is just being careful, that's why we walked a little slower."
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Ran. Ye Ran felt as if her heart had been struck by his gaze, and her face flushed slightly. She thanked him for helping to explain and smiled gratefully at him.
The two tacitly kept their discovery a secret from Ye Jun, and it became a secret between them.
Seeing her lovely smile, Lu Yi felt a surge of joy. He smiled at Ye Jun and said, "Uncle, since it's so late, I won't keep you any longer. Take care on your journey, and see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, Xiao Lu, we'll be going now. You get some rest, and we'll have a good drink sometime when we have time!"
Lu Yi nodded: "Definitely." But Lu Yi muttered to himself, "I wonder if you'll still be able to drink it then, Uncle?"
Watching the backs of the father and daughter, one could still faintly hear Ye Jun scolding Ye Ran: "You, no matter how safe it is, you can't be this slow! Even a tortoise could crawl there. Your mother and I are getting anxious at home!"
"I'm sorry, Dad, don't be angry. There won't be any problems. Look, as soon as I got home late, you came to find me right away. Dad is the best. I'm so happy..." She said, taking Ye Jun's hand.
Hearing his daughter's coquettish words, Ye Jun lost all his anger, replaced only by tenderness and a touch of pride.
"Right! Let me tell you, the only man in this world who loves you most is your father. You will always be my precious daughter." The father and daughter then walked home hand in hand, swaying unsteadily.
Upon hearing Ye Jun say that he was the man who loved Ye Ran the most, Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, hummed twice in dissatisfaction, and only turned and walked into the educated youth settlement when he could no longer see the two of them.
As soon as he entered the educated youth settlement, someone came to greet him. It was Peng Lin, one of the few educated youth in the settlement who had a relatively good relationship with Lu Yi. Upon seeing him,
He asked with a gossipy look, "My goodness, you're back so late! What have you been doing? You're grinning like a lecher. What were you up to? You weren't out trying to pick up girls, were you?"
Lu Yi didn't deny it and walked past him, continuing into the quiet night. Only Peng Lin's questioning could be heard, "Really? Tell me, which goddess has captured Lu Yi's heart?"
But no one answered; perhaps only the chirping insects by the roadside knew the answer…
