"I didn't think much of it at the time. After all, Sister Shuyue isn't usually that cunning. Who knew she would suddenly..."
"What happened next? She must have asked you other questions, right? Did you tell her everything?" Su Yue asked.
"No, I definitely can't tell her, so I kept quiet."
"Silence?" Su Yue on the other end laughed in exasperation. "Silly little brother, you should be explaining now that you're lying!"
"I know, but I don't think there's any need to lie. Sister-in-law Shuyue won't talk nonsense."
"Of course she wouldn't say anything out of the blue. She must have guessed that the relationship between you and me is not simple. Aren't you afraid she'll get angry?"
"So what if you're angry? I admit it. I didn't cheat on you, so what am I afraid of?" Ye Yun remained completely calm.
“You…” Su Yue sighed, then smiled, “Okay, this is fine too. I prefer to be honest rather than lie. You’re so brave, I just don’t know what Lin Shuyue thinks.”
“I was worried too. She didn’t get angry at me or yell at me. She just told me to leave.”
"She's sulking to herself. After all, logically she had the biggest advantage, but I beat her to it," Su Yue said with a smug grin.
"What?"
"It's nothing. Just try to chat with her as much as possible, talk to her, and ideally have a heart-to-heart talk with her," Su Yue suggested.
"Yes, that's what I think too..."

Early in the morning, Ye Yun went for a run outside and returned home, only to find Lin Shuyue hiding in front of an iron basin, looking at the lobsters inside.
"What, do you want some?" Ye Yun asked as he stepped forward.
“It’s been a whole night, and they’re still alive. I thought they were all dead!” Lin Shuyue said.
"No, these guys are tough." With that, Ye Yun picked up the iron basin, poured out the water, and rinsed the lobsters several times under the tap.
"Should we do it now?" Lin Shuyue asked from the side.
"No, they're all still alive. Put them in the freezer and deal with them when I get back after I've made the arrangements!"
Ye Yun put the lobster into a bag and then put it into the freezer at the bottom of the refrigerator.
"Is breakfast ready?" Ye Yun came to the pot and lifted the lid, the rice soup inside was bubbling.
"Hmm, looks like you're almost fully recovered. Let's eat!"
The two then sat in the courtyard eating breakfast, exchanging a few words occasionally, which seemed somewhat awkward.
"I'm going to arrange for Gou Sheng and the others to move the corn later. I'll be back in a bit," Ye Yun said.
"Okay, go ahead," Lin Shuyue replied calmly.
Ye Yunduan picked up the bowl and took a sip of rice soup. Her gaze fell on Lin Shuyue's legs, which were not wearing stockings like yesterday.
"Do you only wear stockings for one day?" Ye Yun asked casually.
Lin Shuyue paused for a moment, looked down at her legs, and said thoughtfully, "It's pointless, no one's watching anyway."
"Yes, I want to see it," Ye Yun said directly.
Lin Shuyue looked at him with some surprise, then turned her face away and said, "Go find her!"
Ye Yun remained silent, quietly eating his meal. After finishing, he got up and left.
Watching Ye Yun leave silently, Lin Shuyue sat at the table in a daze, regretting her decision.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, Ye Yun saw Gou Sheng and his group squatting there from afar, each of them smoking and puffing out clouds of smoke.
Besides them, there was also Liang Lu, the village chief's son, who was also there.
"Is everyone here?" Ye Yun asked as he stepped forward.
The group stood up angrily, and Gou Sheng led the way with a laugh, saying, "Of course, Brother Yun, since you're leading the team, everyone must be here."
Ye Yun looked at the group and saw that there were ten people in total. Gou Sheng and the other five were the pre-arranged group of hooligans, while the remaining five were high school students like Liang Lu.
"What's going on? What are you five doing here, trying to make some extra money?" Ye Yun asked, patting Liang Lu on the head.
Liang Lu chuckled and said, "Brother Yun, please have mercy on us, we also want to make some money, please take us with you!"
"Hmph, with your delicate skin, you'd be crawling around like an old lady in bed when it comes to working," Ye Yun teased.
"Hahaha..." Gou Sheng and the others burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? None of you do much work. If we really got down to business, we'd be just as good as you," Liang Lu said with dissatisfaction.
Gousheng laughed, "Luzi, you really haven't experienced hardship! This kind of work is no joke, it's not like you can just help your dad carry a few corn cobs."
"We're just lazy usually, but that doesn't mean we can't do it. Look at you delicate little thing, how are you going to get any work done?"
Faced with the mockery, Liang Lu gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do. So he turned to Ye Yun and pleaded, "Brother Yun, you guys will definitely work hard. If it's really not good, you can give us less. Please."
"What's wrong? Are you short of money lately?" Ye Yun asked curiously.
"Yeah, I got a girlfriend."
"Oh, no wonder, you're trying to make a living!" Gou Sheng teased.
"Alright, shut up!" Ye Yun glared at Gou Sheng and said to Liang Lu and the other five, "I can take you five, but your wages will be halved. It'll be twenty yuan per mu. Let's see how many mu you can move in a day!"
"Okay, thank you, Brother Yun." Liang Lu was overjoyed.
Then Ye Yun looked at Gou Sheng and the other four and said to them, "This time you only need to move the corn, and then put it in bags. Uncle Liu will use his corn stalk threshing machine to take care of the rest. If you want to earn more, then move more. It's not about the time, it's about the amount of land, do you all understand?"
“Understood. With the five of us working together, taking over ten acres a day is no problem,” Gou Sheng said confidently.
"Oh ho, you're quite confident! Gou Sheng, you're in charge of your side, and Liang Lu, you're in charge of your side. If anyone slacks off, just tell me. I won't hit or scold them, I'll just deduct their pay."
Upon hearing that their pay would be deducted, the expressions on their faces changed.
"Impossible! Who would slack off working under Brother Yun!"
“This is group production. If anyone slacks off, it’s a crime against the group. I’ll strip them naked, tie them to a tree, and whip them severely,” Gou Sheng said indignantly.
"Alright, then come with me. You two groups can work separately. You don't need to go back for lunch. I'll come over and bring you food, and check on your progress."
"That's great, they even provide meals?" Gou Sheng was overjoyed.
"Hmph, I, your brother Yun, am a conscientious foreman, but you all have to work hard for me. Anyone who doesn't work hard can go home and eat."
After leading the two groups to their respective corn-carrying locations, Ye Yun gave a few important instructions before heading home.
When he arrived at the village entrance, he ran into Zhang Ya, who was out for a run in her sportswear. However, she wasn't wearing glasses while running, so he didn't recognize her from a distance.
"Teacher Zhang," Ye Yun called out several times.
Zhang Ya then stopped, took off her headphones, put on her glasses, and looked at Ye Yun.
