Yan Jie rested his chin on her hair and rubbed it against her head, letting out a soft laugh:
“I stood behind you for a long time, and I don’t know where you got the confidence to be so sure that I would come from the east, but you didn’t turn around to look even once.”
Jiang Hexi nudged his arm and said with a hint of annoyance, "This is my front door. Don't let my brother see it."
Yan Jie hugged her waist even tighter. "Your brother left in a car five minutes before you came out."
Jiang Hexi's tense body relaxed softly, and she fell into his arms, as if embracing a cloud.
"The weather's neither sunny nor cloudy, are we still going for a run?"
"It's the last day, let's go."
Yan Jie took her hand and walked towards the tree-lined path on the side.
The two jogged slowly around the artificial lake.
Yan Jie led her, running backwards ahead.
“While I’m away on business, you have to get up and exercise every morning. I’ll monitor you remotely from time to time. If I find you slacking off and sleeping, I’ll punish you for it.”
Jiang Hexi huffed and puffed as she ran forward, asking, "What punishment?"
Yan Jie smiled deeply, “If you miss a time, you’ll be punished with an hour of exercise time. You can either go swimming, go hiking, go to the gym, or ride horses, shoot arrows, or play golf. It won’t be any easier than running.”
Jiang Hexi saw through his intentions: "Are you trying to arrange to meet me in advance?"
Yan Jie corrected him, saying, "This is different from making an appointment with you; you have to agree whether you want to or not."
Jiang Hexi deeply agreed with what Jiang Wenze said.
She was no match for Yan Jie; with just a few words, he easily ensnared her in a pre-laid trap.
As the two ran to the bridge in the middle of the lake, a strong wind rippled the water, and dark clouds pressed down heavily.
Seeing that it was about to rain, Yan Jie took Jiang Hexi's hand and ran towards the nearest pavilion.
The strong wind swept away the rain, which pelted down in dense, heavy rain.
Yan Jie led Jiang Hexi halfway there, but had to turn around and run towards the nearest carved flower wall, where they both crawled under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.
Jiang Hexi shook the raindrops off her hair, watched the drizzle slant under the eaves, and quietly moved closer to him.
"It's all your fault. I told you it was going to rain, but you still insisted on going for a run."
"I don't know who asked me out last night."
Did I speak last night?
She stubbornly denied it, saying playfully, "You clearly misread my lips. I clearly said it would rain tomorrow, so don't run. You did something wrong, but you're blaming me."
Yan Jie didn't argue with her. "This is fine."
On a rainy day, there are hardly any people doing morning exercises. In addition, the sudden rain blocked out the noise, leaving only the two of them under the white walls and eaves.
A light drizzle fell on her feet. Jiang Hexi touched the flower wall behind her and took a step toward Yan Jie.
“My brother will come back at noon and take me back to Shenzhen-Hong Kong. I won’t be able to see you off this evening.”
"Then let's say goodbye here."
Yan Jie embraced her waist and passionately kissed her forehead, startling her shy gaze.
He cupped her face and kissed her reverently, lingering and caressing her tenderly.
Jiang Hexi rested her hand on the flower wall behind her, and rainwater seeped through the carved holes, wetting her fingers.
At one point, her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up. She raised her hand and climbed onto his neck, her wet fingers weaving through his hair. He kissed her more and more passionately and addically.
When the rain stopped, the two of them stood on the east and west sides of the eaves, respectively.
An elderly woman who had come to take shelter from the rain stood in the middle. Before leaving, she gave the two of them a strange look, then slowly walked forward, leaning on her cane.
Yan Jie and Jiang Hexi exchanged a glance and then turned their heads and laughed.
The two parted ways on July 28th.
When Director Chen announced the resumption of filming for the third season of "Let's Farm, Rich Second Generation," it was already September 13th.
At that time, Jiang Hexi was auditing an elective course on the prevention and control of corn diseases and pests at the College of Agriculture.
The phone in my bag kept vibrating.
She took out her phone and slipped it into her textbook during a break in the teacher's lecture.
While glancing at the PPT slides on the stage, he also secretly watched what the five chaebols were arguing about in the group chat.
Young White Poplar: [Confirmed news: Filming for the third season of the farming reality show will officially begin on the 16th.]
Young White Poplar: [Besides Zhou Gong (the Duke of Zhou), a heavyweight guest will also be making a surprise appearance at the live broadcast.]
Young Poplar: [A special live stream will be held on Douyin (TikTok) at that time. After the program is recorded, it will be broadcast on CCTV-16 (China National Radio's entertainment channel) and simultaneously streamed on three major video streaming platforms.]
Young poplar tree: [Brothers and sisters, we've finally made something of ourselves!]
The story of Yu the Great failing to control the floods: [Is this news reliable?]
Young White Poplar: [This is firsthand intelligence that my employee overheard while delivering water to Director Chen's studio. It was quick and accurate.]
Smiling: [Yan Wang is still abroad; he might not be able to make it back in time for the 16th.]
Smiling: [It doesn't matter if he's not here.]
Smiling: [When faced with important matters that are difficult to decide, Xi Mei will step in.]
Jie: [Director Chen contacted me last night.]
Jie: [I took a flight on the 16th, arriving directly in Yicheng in the early morning. From Yicheng, I transferred to another flight to Yubei City, and finally drove to Canglang Village.]
Jie: [Arrived at the recording venue in the evening.]
Yu Meiren: [The person upstairs doesn't need to explain in such detail; you can communicate privately.]
Yu the Great, unable to control the floods: "How about I clear the area for you all, and everyone disperse?"
Young White Poplar: [Goodbye, brothers and sisters.]
Jiang Hexi had the illusion that her affair had been exposed.
She and Yan Jie had been keeping an excessively low profile, and hadn't seen each other for a full forty-seven days.
Yan Jie sent a video call remotely, but Jiang Hexi hung up on it.
He persisted and sent another message, and she, without thinking, pinched it again.
She didn't reply to him on the chat interface until the third video call request came in:
Smiling: [I'm in class.]
Smiling: [We'll talk when I get back.]
Jie: [You always just brush things off like this.]
Jie: [You reply to messages instantly in the group chat, but here I don't hear a sound for ages.]
She uploaded a photo of herself having class in a large classroom with a smile on her face.
Smiling: 【Since we've come this far, I won't hide anything from you anymore.】
Smiling: [I'm breaking up with you after the third season of the farming reality show starts filming.]
Jie: [Say it again.]
Smiling face: [After the third season of the farming reality show starts filming, I'm breaking up with you.]
Smiling: [Let's get back together after the show's filming is over.]
Jie: [Are you sure you want to break up?]
Smiling: [Yes, yes, yes, otherwise my brother wouldn't let us off the hook, and neither would Director Chen.]
Smiling; [I wholeheartedly agree with Director Chen's assertion that farming variety shows shouldn't degenerate into dating reality shows.]
Smiling: [King Yan, what's your opinion?]
Smiling: [Oh no, he's angry.]
