Chapter 38
"That's not necessary." Zhou Yao smiled, looked at Wen Yue's expression, and walked over: "Don't be angry, what happened today was really an accident."
Of course they didn't come back empty-handed from Shanghai, so they brought back some small things from Shanghai, intending to sell them to make some money. After all, they spent a lot of money in Shanghai. When they set up the stall in the morning, everything was fine. When they went there in the afternoon, a bunch of people suddenly came and said that this stall was theirs, and asked Zhou Yao and others to move away.
Of course Zhou Yao refused, so the other party simply smashed the stall.
He was so angry that he kicked the man and knocked him over. The two groups started fighting. The other side was obviously well prepared and had a stick in their hands. Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao were beaten to a pulp.
But who is Zhou Yao? He is a village bully who has been fighting with others in the village since he was a child. He snatched the weapons from the opponents and threw them to Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao. However, he was unarmed, but his fists were harder than sticks.
The other side, more than ten people, were beaten by Zhou Yao until they cried for their parents.
If the public security comrades had not arrived quickly, the injuries of these people would have been even more serious.
"What if there is another accident like this tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Wen Yue looked at her, "You beat her like this too?"
Zhou Yao touched the tip of his nose again: "No." That's impossible.
If someone comes to provoke him, it is not his character not to fight back.
After spending such a long time together, Wen Yue certainly understood Zhou Yao's temper. After listening to what he said, she sneered: "Okay, I can't control you, do whatever you want."
Zhou Yao knew that Wen Yue was even angrier, and sighed: "I have had this bad temper since I was a child, and I can't change it in a short time."
Thinking of the fact that Zhou Yao's mother died early and his father didn't care about him, he lost some of his anger, put down the book in his hand and turned to look at him: "Zhou Yao, I know you are good at fighting, but not all problems can be solved by violence. For example, today, your injuries are not serious, but what about Lao Fang and Yeliang? Their injuries are much more serious than yours. You can fight, but they can't. You are alone and can't protect them. If something happens to them, how will you explain to Grandma Fang?"
Her tone of voice was not harsh, and her voice could even be described as soft, but the content of her words left Zhou Yao speechless.
He certainly hadn't thought about that.
"If you start a business or work in the future and still want to use violence to solve this kind of problem, your brain is just for decoration."
Zhou Yao: “…” This means he is a fool.
Wen Yue added: "If you get hurt after a conflict with someone, with a broken arm, broken leg, or damaged brain, what should I do?"
Zhou Yao frowned: "Impossible."
Wen Yue's eyes narrowed, and she smiled and asked back: "Why is it impossible? Are you the only one in the world who can fight? This time they only had sticks, what if they had knives next time? Do you think you are Superman?"
Zhou Yao: “What is Superman?”
"Is this the point?" Wen Yue glanced at him speechlessly.
Zhou Yao pinched his face with his fingers, accidentally pinching the wound on his face, and hissed in pain. A pair of white and tender hands appeared in his sight, and his eyes moved upwards to meet the warm and tender little face.
"Medicinal wine."
Zhou Yao's eyebrows suddenly curved, and he pushed the medicinal wine in front of him over, and leaned forward. His cheekbone was bruised, and there were also wounds at the corners of his eyes and mouth, but the rest of his body was fine, and it didn't look too serious.
Wen Yue was thinking, and moved her eyes downwards. Through her collar, she saw a red patch on his trapezius muscle. Her brows furrowed, "The clothes are off."
Zhou Yao hesitated for two seconds.
Wen Yue raised her eyebrows.
Zhou Yao clicked his tongue and took off his coat and vest. There were several red, crisscrossing stick marks on his back.
Wen Yue felt very painful just by looking at it, fortunately Zhou Yao was still able to sit here and chat with her, his expression did not show at all that the injuries on his body were so serious.
She imitated Zhou Yao's previous movements, poured the medicinal wine into her palms, rubbed it, and pressed it on Zhou Yao's face and rubbed it twice.
Zhou Yao took a breath: "Hiss."
Wen Yue raised her eyelids: "It hurts"
Zhou Yao hummed, and looked over with dark eyes, a little aggrieved: "It hurts."
"It hurts." Wen Yue exerted a little more strength and said with a smile: "Pain makes you remember."
Zhou Yao: “Hiss.”
After waking up, Grandma Fang saw the injuries on their faces and felt heartbroken. However, she was fooled by their excuses and did not think much about it. She just reminded them to be careful when walking in the future. How could such grown-ups fall down?
After dinner, Wen Yue went back to school for evening self-study.
As soon as she returned to school, she was surrounded by her classmates.
"Wen Yue, why did a police officer come to see you this afternoon?"
"Did your man do something bad? I heard that your man is a thief. Did he get caught by the police for stealing other people's things?"
“…Tsk tsk.”
"This is the perfect target for you."
“…”
This group of people were talking at once, Wen Yue didn't hear clearly what they said, and she didn't intend to tell them about her family affairs, so she just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the people around her pouted and slowly dispersed.
After everyone left, Li Nianqiu next to him turned around and asked: "What's going on?"
Wen Yue sighed and whispered, "They set up a stall and started a fight with someone."
Li Nianqiu shook her head: "Your man is a little impulsive."
Wen Yue propped her chin with one hand, "Yeah, I don't know how to persuade her."
"Just hit the wall a few times." Li Nianqiu replied.
Warm and sighing.
I'm just afraid that he will hit the wall too hard. It's really annoying. I get annoyed whenever I see a man.
She raised her head and blinked, then turned her head and hugged Li Nianqiu's arm and rubbed it: "I really don't want to care about him. It's so annoying. He won't listen to me."
Wen Yue's voice was soft and sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
"Then just ignore him." Li Nianqiu curled the corners of his lips.
Wen Yue blinked her watery eyes and said nothing.
Li Nianqiu knew that she was just talking and would not really ignore Zhou Yao, so Wen Yue was reluctant to do so. She was just hard on the outside but soft on the inside... Oh, no, her words were also soft, and sometimes she would not even say harsh words.
Zhou Yao was really lucky to marry Wen Yue.
Li Nianqiu now felt that Zhou Yao was not worthy of her good sister. Zhou Yao was too impulsive and easily got angry when encountering things. If he didn't change this problem, he would get into trouble sooner or later.
She stroked her chin and said, "Tell him that if it happens again, we'll get a divorce."
Wen Yue blinked again: "Neither of us has a marriage certificate."
Li Nianqiu clapped his hands: "That's even better, let's just leave."
Wen Yue whispered: "...Let's talk about it later."
Li Nianqiu snorted.
"Actually, Zhou Yao is pretty nice to me..." Wen Yue started to speak well of Zhou Yao again, trying to change the image of Zhou Yao in her good sister's mind.
Li Nianqiu sneered.
There was no teacher in the evening self-study class, so it all depended on the students' self-control. Wen Yue finished chatting with Li Nianqiu and then opened an extracurricular book to read. After a while, Li Nianqiu threw a note to her.
The classroom is very quiet and even if you speak quietly, you can easily be heard.
Wen Yue picked up the note and took a look at it.
[You told others about your marriage yourself]
Wen Yue picked up the pen and replied: Why am I saying this?
[Everyone in the class knows about your marriage.]
Wen Yue: I think it was Wen Xiaoyu who said that. She might be jealous.
[Then she must have said a lot of bad things about you. You should be careful recently. I always feel that some people's attitudes are strange. If someone invites you out to play, don't go. ]
Wen Yue: OK, I know.
Li Nianqiu tore up the paper and stuffed it into his pocket.
After the evening self-study class, Wen Yue just stood up and was about to go out when a girl came up to her with a question. She was delayed for a while while answering the girl's question.
It took quite a while to solve the problem. Students from the school left one after another and almost all of them had left. Wen Yue was the last one to leave. She turned off the lights and door of the classroom and left the teaching building with the girl.
The girl lived on campus, so the two separated on the playground.
The playground is some distance away from the school gate. The school's street lights are very dim, and the trees next to it are shadowy. Under the dim light, they look like twisted and weird monsters, as if something will jump out from behind the trees at any time.
Wen Yue was frightened by her own imagination and quickened her pace.
"Wen Yue!" Someone suddenly called her name from behind. Wen Yue was nervous at the moment and was frightened. Her heart beat faster.
She turned her head and looked back, and saw several male classmates in the class.
Wen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then subconsciously narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
The dim light shone on her palm-sized face, making it gleam with radiance, and her smile was bright and gentle.
"Wen, classmate Wen Yue." The male student who was pushed out first felt a little embarrassed when he saw the smile on Wen Yue's face, and spoke haltingly: "You, you, you are really married?"
Wen Yue exclaimed, then nodded in response: "Yes."
The boy scratched his head: "Wen Yue, you are such a nice person, young, and a college reserve student, why do you want to get married so early?"
Wen Yue: "If I don't get married, I won't be able to go back to school."
Several boys were shocked: "If you don't get married, your partner won't let you go to school. How can there be such a person?"
"...No, it's not what you think." Wen Yue was a little helpless, and sighed and explained: "He is a very good person, and he is very good to me. He helped me to go to school. It's not that he doesn't want me to go to school, but I can't go to school without him."
"Ah, it's not like the person you're going to marry is a lazy hooligans. How can he help you? The police came this afternoon. It must be that your partner got into trouble." Several male classmates were a little indignant. "This kind of person is not worthy of you at all!"
Wen Yue said in a gentle tone: "It doesn't matter whether you are worthy or not, as long as you like it. It's late, you should go back to the dormitory and sleep. I have to go home too, bye." She waved, smiled, turned around and walked forward.
After walking a few steps, Wen Yue saw Zhou Yao standing under the street light. The light elongated his shadow on the ground. Against the light, his face was hidden in the darkness, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"How did you get in?" Wen Yue's eyes curved and she jumped in front of Zhou Yao with joyful steps.
Zhou Yao frowned, pursed his lips, and looked a little unhappy.
Wen Yue restrained her smile: "What's wrong with you? You look like you are worried."
As November approaches, the weather becomes cooler.
Wen Yue was wearing a dark blue coat, with her hair pinned behind her head, leaving some loose hair on both sides of her cheeks. When the breeze blew, her hair gently hit her face, blocking her view.
"Nothing, just thinking about something." Zhou Yao blinked his eyes and curled up the corners of his lips, and the heavy and gloomy expression just now disappeared. He raised his hand to push the hair on Wen Yue's face behind her ears, "Why are you out so late today?"
Wen Yue's eyes curved into a crescent shape: "I was delayed a little while explaining the topic to my classmates. I have been waiting for a long time. Next time, you can just come to the classroom door and wait for me."
Zhou Yao lowered his eyes and hummed softly.
The two walked home side by side.
Now that the weather is cold, I don't take a bath every day like before, but basically every other day. After all, there are no water heaters like in later times. Without these, taking a bath in winter is very torturous.
"I knitted a sweater earlier. You can wear it when it gets cold."
Wen Yue took out a sweater she had knitted a month ago and threw it to Zhou Yao. It was a black turtleneck sweater with the simplest pattern. She also knitted a gray scarf and threw it to Zhou Yao, letting him wear it as he pleased.
Zhou Yao has been silent since he came back from school. He moved his eyes to the sweater in front of him and picked it up to take a look.
With a gentle smile, she asked: "Do you like it?"
Zhou Yao nodded: "I like it."
"As long as I like it, haha." Wen Yue yawned, tears of fatigue overflowing from the corners of her eyes: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."
"Go to sleep." Zhou Yao said, "I'm going to go talk to Yeliang and Lao Fang."
Wen Yue was so sleepy that she responded casually, "Well, go ahead. Don't sleep too late."
Zhou Yao nodded, turned off the light and left the room.
"Brother, what are you doing in our room so late at night when you can't sleep?" Ren Yeliang was chatting with Fang Shitao while applying ointment to each other. The door was suddenly pushed open, which scared him and made him feel guilty.
Zhou Yao frowned. Wen Yue was not here, and his expression returned to its previous gloomy and solemn look. He pursed his lips and sat on the chair beside the bed, leaning back, slightly tilting his head and ignoring Ren Yeliang.
"Brother, ahhh, Lao Fang, please be gentle. You want to hurt me to death?" Ren Yeliang was a little confused. As soon as he turned his head, he grimaced and howled in pain because the wound was pressed. He turned around and glared at Fang Shitao.
Fang Shitao looked innocent: "I didn't use any force."
Ren Yeliang: "Fart, are you afraid that it won't hurt me to death?"
Fang Shitao said disdainfully: "A grown man is still afraid of pain, look at my brother."
Zhou Yao was annoyed by the noise and glanced at the two of them.
Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao were both shirtless. As they had not eaten enough when they were young, even after catching up, they were still skinny, looking like skeletons with each rib clearly visible.
Zhou Yao took a look and then looked away in disgust, "Tsk, it's really eye-catching."
"Stop arguing. I want to talk to you about something." Zhou Yao hooked his feet over the stool next to him, stepped on it and shook it twice.
Ren Yeliang shut up obediently: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yao remained silent for another two minutes, squinting his eyes and staring at the dim light bulb above his head.
"elder brother"
Zhou Yao: "Do you want to go to Shencheng and have some fun?"
Ren Yeliang exclaimed, his eyes widened: "Brother, didn't you want to stay in Shencheng to accompany your sister-in-law? Why do you suddenly want to go to Shencheng again?"
Zhou Yao didn't say anything, all that came to his mind were the words he heard at school that night.
He heard everything Wen Yue said to those male classmates. Zhou Yao didn't care what others thought of him, even if they called him a second-rate person or a gangster. He had heard these words since he was a child, so he didn't take them to heart.
But if someone looked down on Wen Yue because of him, and thought that Wen Yue was blind to marry him, Zhou Yao would be very unhappy and upset. He didn't want Wen Yue to suffer even a little bit of injustice because of him.
So he changed his mind.
He wants to go out and make a career and become famous.
Zhou Yao was too lazy to explain to Ren Yeliang and the others: "Just say whether you want to go or not."
Ren Yeliang was very excited: "Go, go, go!!!"
Fang Shitao was also a little excited, and his voice was louder than usual: "Go!"
Who among the young people with a little ambition doesn't want to go out and have fun?
"Okay." Zhou Yao nodded, stood up and walked out.
Ren Yeliang: "Brother, why are you leaving now without saying anything more?" For example, what were they doing in Shanghai? The last time they went back, they just wandered around and didn't do any in-depth research.
Zhou Yao didn't come back and didn't even bother to close the door.
Ren Yeliang: "."
Okay, I am just willful and they can’t do anything about it.
Ren Yeliang was a little excited when he thought about going to Shencheng to hang out, and he didn't care about the pain in his body. He discussed it with Fang Shitao with great interest. Fang Shitao usually didn't talk much, but now he wanted to talk a lot. The two of them talked about the topic of going to Shencheng to hang out all night, and they were still full of energy the next day.
Zhou Yao also didn't sleep all night.
He lay on the bed thinking about his future plans, his hands crossed under his head, and carefully recalled what he had seen and heard when he went to Shencheng some time ago. He turned his head to look at the petite figure hiding under the quilt, raised his hand to pull the quilt for her, and gently hooked the hair stuck to her face with his fingers.
He will definitely work hard to prove that he is worthy of Wen Yue and not let others look down on Wen Yue because of him.
…
When Wen Yue came back from school for lunch the next day, Zhou Yao told her about this. He said that he planned to take Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao to Shencheng, but they might not be back for a few days.
This time, I will probably have to wait until the Chinese New Year to come back.
"Why are you suddenly going to Shencheng again?" Wen Yue was stunned for two seconds and asked with some confusion.
Zhou Yao pursed his lips: "I want to go and have some fun."
Wen Yue said "oh".
It was normal for a man of Zhou Yao's age to have the urge to go out and hang out, although he seemed to have been somewhat resistant to it before. But considering that Zhou Yao was only 20 years old, it was normal for him to have inconsistent thoughts.
"Then go ahead." Wen Yue smiled.
Zhou Yao pursed his lips even tighter and emphasized: "I will be very busy from now on and may not have time to come back. I can only wait until the Chinese New Year."
Wen Yue raised her eyebrows and nodded: "I know. Starting a business is very busy in the early stages. I understand. Don't worry, I will take good care of Grandma Fang and Lulu, and I will also take good care of myself. You can go with peace of mind."
Zhou Yao hissed, feeling a little angry, anxious, and a little aggrieved: "We won't see each other for a long time, so you won't miss me." He couldn't say anything euphemistic, so he just said whatever he wanted to say.
If you decide to go to Shencheng to hang out, it will take several years to make a name for yourself. Although Zhou Yao is very confident in himself, he is not so confident that he thinks he can make a name for himself in just a few months.
So from now on, he and Wen Yue will be together less and more often.
"You..." Wen Yue looked at the aggrieved expression on Zhou Yao's face, blinked and said with a smile, "I will fill in Shencheng University for my university volunteer application."
Zhou Yao was stunned.
"Don't think too much about other things. Be calm when you go to Shencheng. Don't be impulsive. Consider the consequences before doing anything. Use your brain more." Wen Yue said softly, "Next year, I will bring Grandma Fang and Lulu to Shencheng to find you. I hope that Shencheng will have a place for us to stay by then."
Zhou Yao reacted immediately, his tightly pursed lips and brows relaxed at the same time, and he replied in a deep voice: "Okay, I know, I will." Although he was still very uneasy in his heart, he still felt a little comforted and motivated after hearing Wen Yue's words!
Very good, before Wen Yue finishes the college entrance examination and goes to Shanghai, he must come up with something!
Fang Shitao also told Grandma Fang about it, and Grandma Fang also supported them going out, so they chose the weekend as the departure time.
Li Nianqiu knew that Zhou Yao was going to Shencheng, so he came to send them to the train station. He watched the green train gradually go away with a little longing in his eyes.
She also wanted to go out and take a look.
"Are you planning to apply for a university in Shanghai?" Li Nianqiu collected his thoughts and turned to ask his friend.
Wen Yue hummed: "Yes, have you decided which university you want to apply to?"
Li Nianqiu lowered his eyes and thought for two seconds, then smiled: "Then I'll go to Shencheng too."
Wen Yue: “Okay…”
She was stunned and turned to look at Li Nianqiu, with confusion in her eyes: "You are also applying to Shanghai?" But in the novel, Li Nianqiu applied to Capital University. Why did he suddenly change his major?
Wait, Li Nianqiu and the male lead met at Capital University. Now that she has changed her major to Shanghai, will she still have a chance to meet the male lead? If not, the female lead's official match...
"Yes." Li Nianqiu raised his eyebrows. "I had originally planned to take the exam in the capital, but it doesn't matter to me where I take the exam. Shanghai has developed very fast in the past two years, so it's not bad to go to Shanghai."
Wen Yue hesitated to speak.
Li Nianqiu noticed that she looked a little strange, "What's wrong?"
Wen Yue shook her head: "It's okay, that's good, this way we can be together again. By the way, when you go to college, do you want to take Xiangdong with you?"
Li Nianqiu hummed: "Yes."
Wen Yue: ...Hey, this is different from the novel again.
"I have to thank you for this." Li Nianqiu's eyes were gentle. "If I hadn't made that money during the summer vacation, I might not have been able to let Xiangdong go with me. She also needs to go to school, and the cost must be high. Now that I have money, these problems can be solved."
Wen Yue pinched her face with her fingers, "That's good. It's not safe to leave her here alone. Just take those people in your house away. Let's eat hot pot tonight. In this weather, eating hot pot is the most comfortable thing."
Li Nianqiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take my sister to buy some groceries."
Wen Yue: "Ok, I'll go back and prepare the base."
The two smiled at each other and left the train station happily.
At the green train station, Zhou Yao leaned against the window and looked at the scenery flying backwards outside. He already began to miss his young wife in his heart.
My young wife must be thinking about him too.
