The morning breeze blew, lifting the corner of Zhou Rang's clothes, revealing his slender fingers that had nowhere to go after being hidden behind his back.
"I'll go back to the educated youth site first." Zhou Rang said hurriedly and wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect Su Nan's voice to suddenly come from the house, stopping him in his tracks.
"Zhou Rang, don't hesitate, come in for a moment, I have something to tell you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Xiao Fangyun, who was standing at the door, hurried into the house to check the situation.
"Su Zhiqing." Immediately afterwards, another exclamation was heard.
Everyone in the yard ran in, especially Zhou Rang, who quickly took a few steps with his long legs and became the second person to enter the room. He looked at the bedside with a worried look on his face.
"How embarrassing." Su Nan was lying on the ground with his legs still on the bed, forming a very strange posture. Seeing so many people coming in at once, he immediately buried his face in the quilt, and his ears turned red.
She was listening to a conversation outside just now. She couldn't hear clearly because she was far away, so she thought of getting closer. After listening to the whole thing, she was stunned.
Zhou Rang actually ran to the county town overnight for her?
Before she could think about it, she heard Zhou Rang actually said that he would not come in to see her, but would go back to the educated youth camp? No, she still had a lot to ask him and say to him.
In excitement, he fell off the edge of the bed and had to pretend that his leg was injured and he couldn't get up. He kept lying on the ground waiting for someone to help him up.
"Su Zhiqing, be careful. Your leg has just been repaired, so you can't go out again." Xiao Heguo warned him from the doorway, and then added, "Just focus on recuperating. I've already reported your condition to the commune. You won't have to go to work for the time being."
"What about my work points?" Su Nan was still concerned about his "salary", so he didn't care about being shy anymore and raised his head to ask.
She was injured during work hours, so it could be considered a work-related injury, right? Wouldn't that mean she could receive paid treatment?
But the next second Xiao Heguo shattered her fantasy: "If you don't work, you naturally won't get any work points."
A trace of disappointment appeared on Su Nan's face. He pouted and said discouragedly, "Okay."
She forgot that there is no such complete labor protection law as in later generations. Besides, her work injury is just barely acceptable.
Zhou Rang took in her little expression from the side, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Her legs were in such a state, and she still cared about material things.
"Mom, come and give me a hand. I can't lift me up by myself." Xiao Fangyun tried several times, but she couldn't help Su Nan sit up on the bed without pressing down on her legs.
"Hey." Li Cuiping put the things in her hand at the door, stepped forward to help hold Su Nan's legs, and together with Xiao Fangyun, she helped her return to her original position.
Xiao Fangyun also helped to tidy up the mat and pillows before retreating to the door, considerately leaving space for Su Nan and Zhou Rang to talk, but did not close the door. After all, a single man and a single woman should still pay attention to the impact.
Su Nan grabbed the ball on the corner of his clothes and glanced at Zhou Rang who was standing by the door without coming closer. For some reason, he couldn't ask the questions he wanted to ask. His heart was pounding like a rattle.
"Come and sit down. Why are you standing by the door like a door god?" Su Nan couldn't help but retort, and pulled the little round ball even harder with her little hands.
Hearing this, Zhou Rang touched the back of his head awkwardly. After hesitating for a moment, he coughed lightly, then moved closer to the bed and sat down on the chair.
"I know you must be very tired now and want to go back to rest, but I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't ask you a few questions." Su Nan lowered her eyes nervously, not even daring to look at him.
Su Nan knew that she was selfish. The other party had worked so hard for her, and now she was not letting him go back to rest. It was really too much, but if she didn't ask her, she would suffocate to death.
"No, just ask." Zhou Rang was a little at a loss. He subconsciously wanted to take out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket, but his hand stopped halfway.
How could he smoke in front of a patient like her?
So he pretended to be natural and put his hands on his thighs.
"Did you advance my food expenses?" Su Nan blinked, and mustered up the courage to look at Zhou Rang, not missing any changes in his facial expression.
Zhou Rang happened to meet her gaze, his expression unfathomable. He rubbed his palm on his leg and said insincerely, "Yeah, but not really."
He repeated the same words he had said to Xiao Fangchi, but it was obvious that Su Nan in front of him was not as easy to fool as before. She first glanced at him suspiciously and did not speak for a long time.
Perhaps because he really didn't see any signs of lying, Su Nan sighed softly and murmured, "I thought..."
Why?
Zhou Rang moved her ears and took in the whole sentence, but she did not say the key words afterwards.
"That won't do. This matter has nothing to do with you. How can I let you take the blame? Just name an amount and I will return the money to you. I, Su Nan, don't like to owe favors to others." The little girl said in a decisive tone, with her chin raised slightly.
The early morning in summer should be the coolest time of the day, but Zhou Rang felt irritable, hot and stuffy, and uncomfortable all over.
"It's not much money, you don't have to pay it back." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye and leave this uncomfortable room.
"Hey, are you some rich diamond king? You don't even want money? You can't be such a fool. If you are a fool the first time, there will be a second time. Don't worry, there is still one more thing." Su Nan stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Zhou Rang's clothes.
She exerted so much force that she almost fell off the bed. Zhou Rang hurried forward to hold her shoulders. Due to inertia, her entire face was pressed against his hard abdominal muscles.
There was a smell of sweat lingering at the tip of my nose. It wasn’t pleasant, but it was definitely full of male hormones.
Su Nan moved her mouth, wanting to say something, but unexpectedly, this movement caused her soft lips to touch his lower abdomen.
The atmosphere was quiet for three seconds, and then Zhou Rang pushed Su Nan away as if she had touched a burning flame. Fortunately, there was a bed behind her, otherwise she would have fallen directly to the ground.
Su Nan blushed, but still stiffened her neck and glared at Zhou Rang. She pouted in grievance and asked angrily, "You pushed me?"
Hou Yi was speechless for a moment and could only shake his head and deny: "I didn't mean it."
Looking carefully, his handsome face seemed to be painted with a blush, and his two shoes were rubbing against the floor. He was neither straight nor short, which really troubled him.
And she must have smelled the scent on him, a smell that even he disliked, let alone her.
"You did it on purpose." Su Nan's heartbeat was like a deer's, and it couldn't calm down. Naturally, his words were a bit unreasonable.
"..." What else could Zhou Rang do but nod in agreement with her?
The air suddenly became quiet. Both of them had red faces and stood there frozen, not knowing what to do next to ease the inexplicable awkwardness.
