Tian Hongfang was worried about her son and tried to persuade him to stay longer, "Won't you stay a little longer?"
Ye Zhiyu shook her head and stormed off.
Lu Chen took a step to chase after him, but his mother stopped him: "What's wrong with you today? Didn't you like him? You're giving him a hard time. I think you deserve a beating. His cousin is here, and instead of going to fawn over him, you're giving him that sour face."
As she spoke, she slapped him on the back.
Lu Chen's eyes lit up slightly. He had hesitated for a long time in the room, still wanting to know what she wanted to do there, so he eavesdropped.
She couldn't hear clearly, but she knew that the two people she met today were relatives. She opened the door to confirm, but the woman had already left.
Upon hearing his mother's words, a hint of annoyance flashed across his face.
It's all his fault; he couldn't control his emotions and made her angry.
He strode back into the house, grabbed a gift bag, and ran out again.
Seeing this, Tian Hongfang, who hadn't finished speaking, slapped her thigh and said, "Now you know you regret it? What were you doing before?"
On the other side, Ye Zhiyu was furious, and tears welled up in her eyes several times, but she managed to hold them back.
What a jerk, you big bad guy, you big idiot.
Why be so moody? She doesn't want to be sad because of him.
She could simply give up this cheat code.
When Lu Chen caught up, he saw the little girl moving her legs very fast and wiping something on her face with the back of her hand.
She cried?
Lu Chen's first thought was this, and he wanted to slap himself. He had actually made her cry; he deserved to die.
Speed up and run ahead to block her path.
Upon seeing it was him, Ye Zhiyu immediately tried to take a detour.
Having had the experience of that time in the mountains before, Lu Chen directly grabbed Ye Zhiyu's waist with both hands and led her away from the right path.
Ye Zhiyu was so frightened that she grabbed his shoulders with both hands and kicked her legs incessantly.
"Lu Chen, you bastard, put me down! If you don't put me down, I'll sue you for indecent assault."
Lu remained silent and refused to put her down. He walked to a corner and then put her down.
Ye Zhiyu tried to run as soon as her feet touched the ground, and even kicked Lu Chen, but before she could take a single step, she was caught again.
"What are you doing?" Ye Zhiyu glared at him.
"I'm willing to go to jail if you forgive me." Lu Chen looked directly at her.
Ye Zhiyu felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside her, and she clenched her fists, repeatedly hitting him.
"You damn Lu Chen, you wicked Lu Chen, why are you ignoring me and giving me attitude? What did I do to you?"
Lu Chen stood tall and straight, letting her hit and scold him.
Ye Zhiyu got tired of hitting him, and the man didn't fight back. He just stood there like a wooden statue, and Ye Zhiyu vented her anger.
But she was still a little annoyed, her face tense.
Lu Chen stared intently at her with his dark eyes: "Are you calmed down? If not, keep hitting me."
"Hmph, I'm not that bored. Don't think I don't know, hitting you is like tickling you."
Ye Zhiyu threw a tantrum, muttering to herself, "I don't even know what the meat is made of, my hands hurt from hitting it."
Lu Chen had sharp ears, and the two were standing close together. After listening, Lu Chen said seriously, "Then I'll try to make the meat a little softer next time."
"You want a next time?" Ye Zhiyu glared.
"No, no, it was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry. Please forgive me, this is for you."
Lu Chen reverently handed over the gift bag.
He hasn't been idle these past three days either. He went out again, but the distance was very short, specifically to pick out a gift for Ye Zhiyu.
Ye Zhiyu raised her head proudly.
"Don't think that just because of a small gift, I can let today's events slide."
"Tell me, why did you treat me like that?"
Lu Chen pursed his lips. He couldn't very well say that he had misunderstood her relationship with her cousin and was jealous, could he? What would she think of him if he did that?
"Just pretend I'm crazy, okay? Don't ask anymore?" Her eyes were pleading.
Ye Zhiyu's expression softened. Everyone has their own little secrets. Maybe he also had his period. Let's just forgive him for now.
"Just this once, there won't be a next time."
Lu Chen nodded seriously. From now on, no matter what happens, he will ask her first and will not make unfounded assumptions.
Ye Zhiyu then happily opened the gift.
Wow, it's so beautiful.
It is a Swiss Titoni watch.
"Thank you, Lu Chen, I like it so much."
Seeing her smile return, Lu Chen felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
Ye Zhiyu knew, of course, that the Swiss watch was very expensive, but what she needed to do now was to provide emotional value to the other person and not spoil the mood.
Imagine your friend excitedly gives you a gift, eagerly anticipating your reaction. What she wants is, "Ah~~ I love it so much, thank you so much, sweetheart."
Instead of saying, "Why did you buy this? It's so expensive," or just "Oh," and that's it.
This would be very awkward, and your friend would think, "I don't have much money, but I just want you to be happy."
I know you're thinking of me, but I just feel inexplicably listless.
Thinking about how he only half-understood what he had just heard, Lu Chen tentatively asked, "What did you say about your cousin?"
"Hey, my cousin knows I was beaten up before, so he insisted on coming to help me. I came to ask the uncle to find a place for him and his comrades to stay."
"Then stay at my house. I'll sleep in my parents' room, and they'll stay in my room."
Ye Zhiyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
Lu Chen shook his head. "No, go and bring them both here. They're having dinner at my house today anyway. I'm sure your cousin would like to talk to my dad too."
You can feel more at ease if you have a good relationship with the battalion commander.
In the end, the two split up. Ye Zhiyu went back to the educated youth settlement to call for help, while Lu Chen went home to tell his mother to cook something delicious, since he had hunted a lot of game that day to vent his emotions.
......
Educated Youth Settlement
The atmosphere was tense. Fu Tingshen, maintaining his aloofness, didn't want to say another word to such an unreasonable person and turned to leave.
Su Jiarui narrowed his eyes and questioned in a deep voice, "Did I let you leave? Is this all the Fu family's upbringing is?"
That brat, he used to be so arrogant because of Ye Zhiyu's protection. After being flattered for so long, he really thinks he's the most important person in the world.
Because his father wanted to curry favor with the Su and Ye families, he made him please Ye Zhiyu. But people have a rebellious streak, and the more he was asked to do something, the more he resented it.
He dared not defy his father, but instead resented Ye Zhiyu's appearance.
He's absolutely insane.
Fu Tingshen dared not speak out in anger. Su Jiarui looked at him with contempt. What a coward. If anyone brought up his upbringing, she would beat them up first, no matter who they were.
As for Fu Tingshen, he put on an act of being deeply humiliated, but in reality, he was still afraid.
The atmosphere became tense.
When Ye Zhiyu returned, she saw this scene, but she didn't care. As long as Su Jiarui had the upper hand, she couldn't be bothered to intervene.
"You two went to the brigade leader's house to rest today, right? I'll introduce you to someone."
"Sure." That suited him perfectly. He would go and pay him a visit, asking him to take care of Ye Zhiyu, that fool.
