"Lu Chen!!"
Lu Chen, who was on his way to the educated youth settlement, stopped and turned around to see Ye Zhiyu coming towards him angrily.
They had only been together for a few days and hadn't seen each other for days; Lu Chen really missed her.
He hurried over, but before he could even express his joy, Ye Zhiyu snapped at him.
"Lu Chen, who let you out? Didn't you promise me?"
"Zhiyu..." Lu Chen called out to Ye Zhiyu helplessly.
"Are you healed yet? You can take a walk around."
Ye Zhiyu didn't want her new boyfriend to get into trouble in less than two days.
Since he had decided to be with her, he was completely hers.
No, he was her cheat code all along.
Ye Zhiyu is very domineering.
When Lu Chen heard Ye Zhiyu's words, he knew that she was concerned about his health, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
“The injury on my arm has healed, and I’ve been listening to you and staying home these past few days,” she paused, then added, “I miss you so much, I want to see you.”
"This is chicken soup my mother made. I brought it over for you to try."
Ye Zhiyu had just noticed that he was holding a small earthenware pot, which was now being shoved into Lu Chen's hands and was still warm.
Ye Zhiyu's expression softened somewhat, and she said a little awkwardly, "Did you drink it?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "No, I'm in a hurry to see you. I'll be going back in a bit."
Only after meeting Ye Zhiyu did he understand what it meant for a day apart to feel like three autumns.
"There's so much, I can't finish it all. You'll have to keep me company."
Before anyone could refuse, she pulled him to a corner.
She wasn't reluctant to part with Lu Chen; she genuinely couldn't finish the food, and it would be a waste if she couldn't finish it. She believed in cherishing food and starting with herself.
Lu Chen took off his jacket first and placed it on a stone for Ye Zhiyu to sit down.
The two stood close together. Lu Chen was still a little unaccustomed to it, but he didn't try to avoid it.
He took the earthenware pot from Ye Zhiyu, picked up the small bowl on top, and poured out some soup and a few pieces of meat.
"Here, it shouldn't be too hot anymore. You can blow on it first."
Ye Zhiyu took it awkwardly: "I'm not a child anymore."
But I listened to him and blew on it first; the temperature was just right.
The broth was delicious, and one bite made my stomach feel very comfortable.
"It's so delicious, you should have some too."
Ye Zhiyu held the bowl close to his lips, and Lu Chen took a small sip from the rim of the bowl.
"Mmm, it tastes good."
They pushed it back to her so she could eat her fill first.
"Did you tell Uncle not to rush to work?" Ye Zhiyu chewed on the delicious chicken.
"He's the captain, so he'll be held responsible for anything that happens. It's always better to be careful."
Actually, he didn't want his father to be the brigade leader. There were so many things to worry about every day, and sometimes it was thankless work.
Some people may think that being a brigade leader is very prestigious, but that's only on the surface.
"This decision was right, look at the sky right now."
The sky was bright just a moment ago, but now it's covered in dark clouds, making it feel like dusk even though it's daytime.
Lu Chen frowned; this was simply too abnormal.
He picked Ye Zhiyu up and helped her stand still.
"Zhiyu, go back right away. I'm going to the brigade headquarters." He put the tidied-up earthenware pot back into her hand.
"Okay." She tiptoed and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. "Be careful."
She knew that Lu Chen had his family here, and this was where he had always lived. No matter what happened, he would not stand idly by.
No one knew what would happen next; she had only one request: to be safe.
......
When we returned to the educated youth settlement, everything was in chaos again.
"What's going on? This awful weather! We just took these things out and now we have to take them back."
"How much longer will it rain?"
Those who are collecting clothes are collecting clothes, and those who are collecting blankets are collecting blankets.
Seeing Ye Zhiyu stroll back from outside, they felt a pang of envy. They hadn't expected that having so many things would actually be a benefit.
Li Xi's gaze lingered on Ye Zhiyu's hands for a moment; she remembered that Ye Zhiyu had left empty-handed.
Ye Zhiyu first took the earthenware pot into the room, then came out to help them.
Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky, threatening to bring a torrential downpour at any moment.
I don’t know whether to say it was a blessing from heaven or something else, but just as they finished packing up, the rain poured down.
Why use the word "splashed"? This rain wasn't just heavy; it was extremely heavy, like the sky was leaking.
Just as they were feeling relieved, there was a very urgent knocking on the door.
The sound of rain was so loud, yet the banging on the door was so loud; it must have been incredibly forceful.
Liu Yuan, holding an umbrella, laboriously moved to the door and opened it.
The newcomer was wearing a simple straw cloak with his trousers rolled up high. Rain was constantly dripping from his face, some of it getting into his eyes and making it hard for him to open them.
"Brother Dashan, what's up?"
The sound of the rain was so loud that you had to shout to be heard.
"I've come to ask if you've seen Aunt Wang's two grandsons, Gouwa and Goudan."
"No, only Ye Zhiqing went out today. Wait, let me ask her for you."
We couldn't hear them talking from this side of the corridor.
There were people waiting at the door; Liu Yuan returned on his own.
"What's wrong? Why did you come in such heavy rain?" Wu Wenwen asked worriedly, wondering if something had happened.
"Aunt Wang's dog, Gouwa, and Goudan are missing. They're looking for them and are asking if we've seen them."
"Ye Zhiqing, you were the only one who went out today, did you see that?"
Liu Yuan explained the situation concisely and clearly, and finally asked Ye Zhiyu a question.
Ye Zhiyu shook her head.
Liu Yuan went back and relayed the message to Lu Dashan.
