Cuihua then pulled Ali to Li Junxian and introduced him: "This is Brother Li Junxian, the security captain of our textile factory."
Ah Li took two steps back shyly, then stood behind Cuihua and asked nervously, "Did you need something from me?"
Cuihua had long heard that female educated youth were timid, weak, and soft-spoken.
So she acted like an older sister, whispering to Ah Li, "Don't be afraid, Brother Li is very kind."
Li Junxian also lowered his voice, "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you, do you remember that old man you met that time?"
Ahri's face quickly turned pale, as if she had thought of something bad, and she shook her head, saying, "I don't know."
Cuihua patted Ali's hand reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, Ali. That old man fell into the water and drowned a couple of days ago. He'll never appear again."
"Really?"
Ahri's eyes were filled with tears, as if she might burst into tears if she had misheard.
Cuihua nodded immediately and said, "It's true. That day, he was trying to harass a female worker at the textile factory. The factory workers saw him and chased after him. He was scared and ran away, and accidentally fell into the water. When they pulled him out, he was already dead."
Li Junxian then continued, "So, what happened to you that day? Did he bully you?"
Ahri lowered her head and whispered, "No, he didn't bully me, he just kept staring at me, and I was scared."
Li Junxian felt a sense of relief for some reason. He had initially thought that the young educated youth had been bullied and therefore dared not speak out.
Now that he knows he wasn't bullied, he's relieved.
When Cuihua thought about how Ali had almost been bullied, she said, "Then you should have gone back and called us. Brother Niu and I would have come back with you."
Ahri said, "It's all in the past, I'm fine, and that person is dead."
Cuihua wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
Aunt Niu also glanced over from time to time, and when she saw the village scorekeeper arrive, she hurriedly called out, "Ali, finish your water and get to work quickly, or it will get dark."
Ali also spotted the scorekeeper and said to Cuihua, "Then I'll go get to work."
"Okay, go ahead and do it."
Looking at Ali's delicate and frail appearance, Cuihua couldn't help but worry, "Brother Dahu, how many work points do you think this young educated youth can earn in a day?"
At this moment, the scorekeeper also came over. Niu Dahu went up and exchanged a few polite words with him. He then saw in the work point book that Ali had recorded three work points, while Aunt Niu had five work points.
Cuihua also went over to take a look, and only then did she believe what Ali had said about her earning few work points.
Li Junxian glanced at Ali, who was bent over cutting wheat, and said, "Let's go back first."
After Ah Li and the others left, he looked up at Li Junxian.
Seeing that Ah Li had been staring in that direction for a long time, Aunt Niu jokingly asked, "Who is Ah Li looking at?"
Ahri looked away, feeling embarrassed. "No, I was just looking around."
When night fell, Ahri boiled some water, quickly washed herself, and then took the water outside to pour it out.
By this time, the other educated youth had already fallen asleep.
Ah Li moved quietly. She opened the door, went outside, and carefully poured the water into the ditch.
However, when she looked up, she found someone standing straight not far away.
The man hadn't expected Ahri to suddenly appear, so he whispered, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
Ah Li picked up the basin, took a closer look, and realized it was Li Junxian.
Li Junxian didn't know why, but after dinner tonight, he just wanted to take a walk, and ended up here.
Ah Li whispered, "Is that Brother Li?"
"Yes, it's me."
Li Junxian responded and reached into his pocket, taking out two candies.
Then, he asked Ahri, "Do you want some candy?"
Ahri nodded shyly and said, "I like it." But then she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't really like it that much."
Li Junxian smiled, knowing that the young educated youth might be a little flustered, so he put the candy on a large rock to the side and said, "I'll leave it here, remember to come and get it."
Then, Li Junxian left.
At this time, it was just the two of them, and the night was dark and windy. Even if no one else was around, they couldn't get too close.
Ahri and the others walked quite far before reaching the large rock and picking up the two candies.
In this world, she can no longer be as assertive as she was in the previous one.
If you deviate from your established persona, you risk being mistaken for a monster.
However, it seems that Li Junxian prefers gentle and delicate women.
When Ali returned, one of the female educated youths in the same room looked up and asked Ali, "Did you go out just now?"
"Um."
Ahri responded and hid the two candies.
"I was terrified. I thought something weird was going to appear in the middle of the night."
Ahri stopped talking. The original owner of this body was someone who looked weak, honest, and easy to bully, and didn't like to talk. In reality, she loved to play tricks and acted one way in front of others and another way behind their backs.
The man continued, "Who was talking to you outside just now?"
Ah Li huddled under the covers, remaining silent.
The man called out twice more before muttering, "Asleep? So fast?"
Then, it became quiet.
Most of the educated youth worked from dawn till dusk, working alongside the villagers during the day and being so tired at night that they wanted to collapse and sleep immediately.
For the rest of the time, Ahri maintained a schedule of three work points in the morning and two work points in the afternoon.
