The moment the words left her mouth, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Yao is so beautiful and seems to have a gentle temperament, but I never expected her to be so intimidating when she gets serious.
When she was counting down "one, two" just now, it felt to her that Yu Yao wasn't counting numbers, but rather a countdown to a bomb.
She has some cleverness, but it's not enough to compete head-on with someone who likes to use their brain.
Yu Yao looks like the type who is exceptionally intelligent.
The only reason we can still talk to her calmly now is because we've shifted our focus to Zhou Qiang, an even bigger enemy. If she were to break off all relations, the consequences would be unbearable for her.
Compared to offending Yu Yao, it's easier to deal with my older brother and sister-in-law.
After figuring this out, Su Yu spoke to Yu Yao with an unconsciously ingratiating tone.
"Comrade Yu, thank you for saving me just now. Should we go to the post office or the factory now?"
Yu Yao saw right through Su Yu's little tricks.
"Don't worry, we're not like you. We won't easily go back on our word once we've made a promise. Let's go to the post office first."
Su Yu looked a little embarrassed, twirling her two braids with her fingers, and smiled without saying a word.
Yu Yao pushed her bicycle and asked Su Yu, "Do you have a bicycle?"
Su Yu nodded, "Yes. Wait for me a moment."
As soon as she left, Fang Qiaoqiao immediately gave her a thumbs up. "Ayao, you were so cool just now. You really know how to handle things. Su Yu keeps changing her mind. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to convince her even if I talked myself hoarse."
"It's not persuasion, it's more like an exchange of benefits."
Yu Yao remained calm, seemingly unaffected.
Su Yu is only a little clever; she's nowhere near as good as the difficult clients she encountered when she was a corporate slave.
Fang Qiaoqiao looked at Yu Yao with starry eyes, as if she were looking at an idol. "A Yao, how can you be so outstanding? You can cook delicious food and you are so good at negotiation. I wish I had half your intelligence."
Yu Yao smiled and said, "You have your own strengths, don't underestimate yourself. For example, when it comes to reading thermometers, I'm not as good as you. I still need a thermometer to check the temperature of sugar water. You're different, you're even more accurate than a thermometer."
Thermometers require time to change their scale, but Fang Qiaoqiao only needs to glance at it and feel it with her hand to know the temperature, which is faster and more accurate than a thermometer.
"Now that you mention it, I guess I really am pretty amazing. Haha, I can eat a lot too, I eat more than other people." Fang Qiaoqiao laughed loudly and cheerfully.
Yu Yao smiled when she heard her say that.
She is actually a rather guarded person, and she has a clear understanding of people and things, which often leads her to be overly rational.
When a person is too rational, it's difficult for others to get close to their heart.
But after coming into this world, I found that everyone, from the wives in the military compound to Fang Qiaoqiao and Aunt Liu, was very warm and sincere. Being with them was relaxing and enjoyable.
"Qiaoqiao, cough cough," Yu Yao's throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire; she had finished all the water she had brought along the way.
Fang Qiaoqiao shook the military water bottle in her hand; it was empty.
She asked worriedly, "Yu Yao, is your throat alright?"
Yu Yao shook her head and cleared her throat. "It's nothing, just a little dry throat. I'll drink some water when I get back to the factory."
“Su Yu is coming over soon. Go to the post office in a bit. You answer the phone. Cough cough, let Su Yu listen in. Just make sure she’s sure we’re not lying to her. We’ll give her Wu De’s hometown address after she goes to the factory to clarify things.”
“I understand. Let’s not give it to her yet, lest she change her mind after getting the address.” Fang Qiaoqiao was still wary of this.
This woman is not only selfish and self-serving, but also untrustworthy and not worth trusting.
While the two were talking, their eyes never left Su Yu.
Fortunately, she didn't cause any trouble this time.
She ran to a bush not far away, and after a rustling sound, she came out pushing a dilapidated but perfectly usable bicycle.
Yu Yao's gaze fell on the bicycle, and she raised an eyebrow.
Who would be so kind as to hide their bicycle beforehand if they were going to jump into the sea?
Yu Yao seemed lost in thought, recalling the process of saving the person just now.
When Su Yu jumped down to save people earlier, her eyes lit up with hope when she saw her, and she swam towards her with all her might.
She initially thought the other party had regretted their decision, but now it seems that jumping into the sea was either an accident or a staged performance that went wrong and almost drowned Su Yu.
She said that someone like Su Yu, who only cares about herself and doesn't care about the lives of others, could never commit suicide.
If there was another reason for jumping into the sea, then it makes sense.
Yu Yao was about to tell Fang Qiaoqiao about going to the post office to make a phone call when she turned around and found that Fang Qiaoqiao was gone.
She looked around, but there was no one in sight. "Qiaoqiao? Qiaoqiao?"
"Ah Yao, Ah Yao, I'm here."
Why is this sound coming from up above? Yu Yao looked up in the direction of the sound.
Fang Qiaoqiao was waving at her from a slightly fallen coconut tree nearby.
"How did you get up there? It's dangerous! Come down right now."
Although the coconut tree was bent by the sea breeze, it was still seven or eight meters above the ground, so it was no joke if it fell.
Fang Qiaoqiao was pleased to be cared for and comforted her, "Ayao, don't worry, I've been climbing coconut trees since I was little, this height is nothing. Move aside a bit, I'll pick a few coconuts and throw them down."
She's been busy all day, sweating a lot and talking so much; her throat is practically burning right now.
Especially Yu Yao, she was coughing from dryness just now.
Seeing that she wouldn't come down, Yu Yao simply told her to be careful and to step aside to wait for her.
Bang bang bang!
Three sounds followed, and three greenish-yellow coconuts landed on the beach.
After Fang Qiaoqiao came down, she walked over with coconuts in her arms, her face beaming with a bright smile. She handed over the biggest yellow coconut, saying, "Ayao, this is a golden coconut. You worked the hardest today, so this is the biggest and sweetest one for you."
Holding the coconut, Yu Yao looked at Fang Qiaoqiao's smile and sincerely said thank you.
Under the sunlight, Fang Qiaoqiao casually wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her freckles looked adorable in the sunlight. "We're good friends who've been through thick and thin together. Thank you so much, you're too kind."
She looked at the coconut in Yu Yao's hand and asked her, "Do you know how to open a coconut?"
Yu Yao shook her head, "Lu Ze always opened them for me before, I've never opened a coconut before."
Fang Qiaoqiao clicked her tongue twice, her envy and jealousy practically written all over her face. "Your Commander Lu really cherishes you; he won't even let you open a coconut."
Yu Yao hugged the coconut, touched her nose, and said, "Isn't opening a coconut just about cutting it open with a knife?"
"Finally, there's something you don't know. Here, give me the dagger, and let Teacher Fang demonstrate it for you."
While the two were talking, Su Yu had already arrived.
