But Li Xi's acting skills were already superb; to catch her in the act, she would have to stop pretending.
With her brows slightly furrowed and her eyes filled with sorrow, she said, "Brother Ting Shen, what are you saying? I was just thinking that it's all my fault. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Zhi Yu wouldn't have humiliated you like that."
Tears can come suddenly.
A beautiful woman shedding tears is most captivating.
Fu Tingshen's expression softened, but when he thought that he wouldn't have suffered such humiliation if she hadn't spoken up, his tone became slightly stiff: "Don't say those things again."
Li Xi obediently replied, "I understand, Brother Ting Shen. I'm just worried that Zhi Yu might ruin her whole life because of a fit of pique."
Fu Tingshen was still angry and waved his hand: "It's her business if she chooses to degenerate, you don't need to interfere anymore."
Li Xiying nestled into Fu Tingshen's arms.
She'd better be tied to Lu Chen for the rest of her life. Just you wait, Ye Zhiyu, your good days are yet to come.
A short while later, the sound of water could be heard again in this remote place.
......
Watching the two leave, Ye Zhiyu relaxed her furrowed brows, turned around, grabbed a corner of Lu Chen's clothes, shook it gently, and acted coquettishly towards Lu Chen.
"Look at them, they bully me all the time, I'm so pitiful."
The person observing them was glad he hadn't drunk any water, otherwise he would have definitely choked.
The person who was just arguing like a machine gun has suddenly turned into a little woman.
Liu Yuan was somewhat unwilling. He clearly knew Ye Zhiyu first, and Ye Zhiyu didn't want Fu Tingshen, so why couldn't she even look at him?
Ye Zhiyu thought that since others already knew about their relationship, there was no need to hide anything.
Lu Chen was clearly not used to it.
He said in a low voice, "Ayu, there are still people watching."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiyu looked left and right, and those who met her gaze all made excuses.
"Ugh, I'm so tired, time for bed."
"I need to fold the clothes."
"Where were we? Let's go back inside and chat."
Everyone except the two of them left in an instant.
Liu Yuan was also pulled away by Lin Yueze and Wu Qing.
The excuses they came up with were all so flimsy. It was time to eat, yet they insisted on going back to their room to sleep, even though their clothes were still hanging on the line.
As for the person gossiping, there's reason to suspect that the gossip they were discussing was about what happened today.
However, Ye Zhiyu didn't care.
“Look, they’ve all left, there’s no one here now, you wouldn’t…” Ye Zhiyu leaned closer to examine him closely and saw his bright red ears.
She chuckled softly, "Aren't you shy?"
With fewer people watching, Lu Chen relaxed and looked at her with doting eyes.
He deliberately lowered his voice: "What should I do if I get shy, Ayu?"
Ye Zhiyu clutched her pounding chest. Lu Chen had cheated; he'd actually used his good looks to his advantage.
Lu Chen chuckled and reached out to pat Ye Zhiyu's head.
"I caught a rabbit this afternoon. I'll bring it to you when it's roasted, sweetie."
Ye Zhiyu was stunned for 15 seconds by a head pat, and then nodded vigorously when she came to her senses.
Rabbits are the most delicious.
"Then I'll be going now."
Before he could take a step, Ye Zhiyu grabbed his arm and pulled him down, causing Lu Chen to bend over with her pull.
A soft, fragrant scent lingered on his face.
Ye Zhiyu tilted her head to the right and whispered in his ear, "Then I'll wait for you."
Lu Chen, who had already calmed down, was suddenly jolted awake, and he didn't even know how he got home.
Not only was he disturbed, but the people peeking through the window were also greatly shocked.
The female educated youth were shocked by Ye Zhiyu's initiative and boldness, while the male educated youth were envious, simply envious.
Only Liu Yuan was heartbroken.
After Lu Chen left, everyone came out to eat, but for some reason they weren't hungry; instead, they felt quite full.
If Ye Zhiyu knew what they were thinking, she would tell them, "Let's eat the melon first, then the dog food (a metaphor for public displays of affection). How could we possibly still be hungry?"
"Lu Chen will bring me some things later, so I won't eat dinner. You can share it with whoever wants it."
When Ye Zhiyu was in a good mood, she didn't care about those little things. As long as she didn't give them to Li Xi, Fu Tingshen, or Xu Fen, she was fine with giving them to anyone else.
Xu Fen lowered her head, making her expression unreadable.
Once everyone was seated at the table, they started eating without waiting for Li Xi and Fu Tingshen.
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, who will tolerate them? Everyone will be starving and waiting.
Where did that big face come from?
Fu Tingshen never said that, but Li Xi did make a scene once.
Li Yuzhe retorted, "You two have spiritual nourishment from your love talk, so you're not hungry. We can't stand being hungry at all. Either you two eat before going out, or you eat what we leave behind. These are the two options, take it or leave it."
Li Xi was unwilling, her face turning red and then pale. She wanted to find someone to help her, but after looking around, all she saw were people gloating.
Some male educated youths even lingered on her with ulterior motives.
She knew that this meant she wasn't being treated like a clean girl, and that everyone looked down on her.
She could only look pitifully at Fu Tingshen, and the person she thought would solve the problem actually said, "You don't need to wait for us anymore."
Ye Zhiyu recalled Li Xi's expression at the time, and it wasn't very pleasant.
She even gave her a strange glare.
After they finished eating, Lu Chen came again, carrying a basket.
They took her straight to her room.
"Hey, can you smell that? It smells delicious, meat!"
"So what? If I had someone like Ye Zhiyu, I'd be happy to feed her meat every day."
"Wake up, you're dreaming before you're even asleep."
