The girl rolled her eyes. "My room is next door."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Wait."
Lu Yuan got off the kang (heated brick bed) and pulled the person back.
What are you doing?
Wen Moxue clutched her chest, looking wary.
Lu Yuan touched his nose and explained in a high-sounding manner, "What can I do? We can't sleep in separate rooms, otherwise it'll be easy to give ourselves away."
"Grandpa Liu lives right next door. Don't let his age fool you; he's very shrewd. Given time, he'll surely figure out what's going on."
Wen Moxue looked at him with a half-smile.
"So what if Grandpa Liu noticed something was wrong? He won't tell anyone."
Lu Yuan pressed on, "Not to mention Uncle Liu, if someone comes and sees that we're staying in two rooms, they'll start gossiping."
Wen Moxue didn't believe his nonsense. "We'll just close the door and live our own lives. Even if someone comes, we won't go into the room."
Lu Yuan tried to find other reasons, but Wen Moxue didn't give him the chance.
"Alright, stop with your scheming, I'm going next door."
After everyone left, Lu Yuan stared at the closed door and gritted his teeth.
"Hey, this girl, just wait, sooner or later you'll be sleeping on the same kang (heated brick bed)."
Nothing was said that night.
The next day, Lu Yuan slept until he naturally woke up.
When he got up, Wen Moxue was already up.
I cooked millet porridge and heated up some steamed buns.
The two of them, Mr. Liu and I, had already eaten breakfast.
While he was eating breakfast, Wen Moxue carried a basin of clothes to the river to wash them.
Lu Yuan quickly called out to her, "Don't forget about my clothes."
Wen Moxue stopped in her tracks. During this time, while staying at the old house, Lu Yuan's clothes were washed by his two younger sisters before she even had a chance to wash them.
I'm used to it, so I didn't even think about it today.
Thinking of their previous agreement, she had indeed promised to wash his clothes and cook for him, so she had no choice but to go to his room to get his dirty clothes.
But when she saw his dirty clothes, she was immediately stumped.
She could accept washing his clothes and pants, but she didn't want to wash his underwear and socks.
Hesitantly, she raised her pinky finger, preparing to put the underwear and socks aside and only take the clothes and pants.
But as soon as she lifted up the tattered pair of underwear, a mocking voice sounded behind her.
"Wen, you educated youth, what kind of fetish do you have, peeping at men's underwear!"
The sudden sound startled her, making her shudder as if she'd been electrocuted, and she threw her underwear away at the same time.
Wen Moxue was both embarrassed and annoyed, and raised her little fist to punch him.
"Lu Yuan, you bastard."
Lu Yuan laughed and dodged, retreating repeatedly.
The little girl wouldn't let it go.
With no way to avoid it, he tripped and fell directly onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
Wen Moxue also lost her balance and fell down as well.
The woman was on top of the man, their faces were so close that their breaths could almost touch, creating a very intimate pose.
Both of them were stunned.
But just then, urgent shouts rang out from outside, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..."
The two came to their senses, and Wen Moxue hurriedly tried to get up.
But sometimes, the more flustered you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. I don't know how I tripped again or couldn't find a foothold. I lost my balance halfway up and fell down again.
"Brother Yuan! Uh?... "
The person had already entered the room as the shouts were heard.
"Um, sorry, I didn't see anything. You guys continue."
Lu Yuanchao quickly turned around, intending to leave. After taking two steps, he stopped.
Thinking of his purpose in coming, he stomped his foot in frustration and turned back.
This time, however, he didn't go inside; he just craned his neck and shouted loudly.
"Brother Yuan, sister-in-law, it's really not that I wanted to disturb your good time, but something really has happened."
Lu Yuan walked out with a sullen face.
"What happened?"
Lu Yuanchao glanced behind him before saying, "The Revolutionary Committee has sent people again. My father asked me to come and warn you that someone has reported you for undermining socialism and misappropriating collective assets."
"My dad invited them to stay for a drink of water, but it won't be long before they arrive. I just wanted to give you a heads-up."
Wen Moxue no longer cared about being shy and hid in her room.
"Which unscrupulous person reported us again? Why are they always targeting us?"
Lu Yuanchao scratched his head, "We still don't know who reported it, but my dad said it's very likely that your big-budget dinner party yesterday, with such good food, aroused envy and jealousy."
Lu Yuan frowned; these people were really annoying.
They do nothing but report this and that, and report anyone they don't like.
He patted Lu Yuanchao on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for letting me know in advance. I can handle this. You can leave now and don't let anyone see us."
After Lu Yuanchao left, Lu Yuan asked Wen Moxue to put most of the family's belongings into her spatial storage.
They left behind the gifts given by Gao Weishan, Zhong Quanyong, Wang Fengnian, and Li Dezhu.
All the grain was stored in the space, leaving only a few potatoes and sweet potatoes, and a few pounds of cornmeal in the kitchen.
Wen Moxue also used the space to instantly move her belongings to Lu Yuan's room, creating the illusion that the two of them were living in the same room.
Just as I finished doing all this, a commotion broke out outside.
The two went outside and saw Lu Guoan approaching with several members of the Revolutionary Committee.
A large crowd of onlookers followed behind him.
Lu Yuan was familiar with the people who came; they were Director Qian from the Revolutionary Committee and the clerk named Xiao Lin.
There was another one whose name I didn't know, but whose face looked familiar. I had met him before at the Revolutionary Committee.
He greeted them with a smile, "So it's Director Qian and a few comrades. Please come in and have a seat."
