Chapter 424 Supplement - The troublesome educated youth is a spoiled child (8)
Lu Chen always felt that he couldn't sleep well.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance, and he could smell it even when he turned over.
It should be a very soothing and light fragrance, but he always felt hot all over when he smelled it.
I like it, but I'm extremely excited and can't sleep.
Lu Chen attributed it to his inability to adapt to the local climate.
He was not sleeping soundly when he heard some other noises.
For example, the sound of someone opening the door.
Thinking of something, Lu Chen put on his coat and sat up, listening intently to the noise outside on the bed.
As he calmed down, the faint fragrance rushed into his nostrils more urgently, reminding him of -
Sui Yu.
Delicate and soft, just like the little cakes his cousins liked to eat, so sweet that it made people dizzy.
Lu Chen irritably stretched out his hand to dispel these inappropriate thoughts, and the rustling noises outside the door came to his mind again.
He simply stood up, opened the door and walked towards Zhou Yan's room.
The light was on and although he couldn't see clearly what was inside, Lu Chen's intuition told him that something was wrong.
He glanced at the time on his wristwatch and saw that it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Yan is still not asleep so late. Is he not tired enough, or... has he got something else to do secretly?
Lu Chen raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Zhou Yan, are you still awake?"
There was no sound in the room except for the flickering light that came through the crack in the door. It seemed that the person inside had fallen asleep.
Lu Chen sneered and pushed the door open. "Are you tired and passed out today? I'm coming in."
The door was not closed tightly to begin with, and when Lu Chen pushed it, it opened from both sides.
The gap in the door widened to less than a finger's width, and was suddenly held and pressed tight by a big hand.
——Someone blocked the door from the inside.
Zhou Yan's rough voice came out from the crack of the door, carrying a hint of resentment after his good thing was interrupted. It was very annoying to Lu Chen's ears.
"I'm going to sleep now. I'm not dizzy. Go back to sleep. Didn't you say you have a field trip tomorrow?"
He took himself on the so-called "field investigation" during the day today, so he didn't even have time to cook, and he didn't even have the chance to explain to his aunt.
He felt heartbroken when he thought that Sui Yu would have no meat to eat.
At this moment, it was a dark and windy night, and a man and a woman were alone in a room. If Lu Chen saw them, Sui Yu's situation would become very embarrassing.
Zhou Yan was panicking. He was afraid that Sui Yu would cry, and he was even more afraid that being discovered would affect Sui Yu's return to the city.
According to Lu Chen, if Sui Yu was found to have conduct problems, she would definitely be harmed.
This cannot happen.
He couldn't be sure that Lu Chen had no bad intentions.
So Lu Chen must not be allowed to enter this door.
He pressed the side of his heel against the door with great strength. Lu Chen was a man of letters used to holding a pen, so how could he possibly be able to compete with him? For a moment, he really couldn't push the door open.
Lu Chen glanced sideways at the other side of the room where there was no other movement under the bright light, and did not continue to exert force.
"I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell you something. Open the door and let's talk."
He almost uttered the last four words through gritted teeth.
These words have given enough room for maneuver. As long as Zhou Yan comes out, he will not embarrass Sui Yu.
At most... he would just mock Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan: ...I don’t understand.
Zhou Yan really didn't understand the excuse Lu Chen was giving him, and he refused coldly, "I've taken off all my clothes, it's not convenient for me to see people."
Clothes...all taken off?
The anger in Lu Chen's eyes grew even stronger.
If he failed to stop it in time today, when Huo Jianhua came and saw that his sister, whom he had protected so much, had been taken advantage of, he could foresee the consequences.
At the very least, he had to ensure that Sui Yu was safe and sound until Huo Jianhua came to pick her up.
"Open the door."
"Don't make me say it a second time."
Zhou Yan didn't open it.
Sui Yu couldn't bear it anymore. She understood what Lu Chen meant, but she didn't understand how this person had the right to control her.
Lu Chen was also entrusted by Huo Jianhua to look after her, so how could he be so arrogant and take away her support in Honghe Village?
The multi-grain steamed bun she had for lunch today made her feel like vomiting.
A second time? No!
She stood up, patted Zhou Yan's shoulder, and then, before Zhou Yan could react, she opened the door of the room.
"Why do you always have to pester Zhou Yan? Shouldn't a leader from above be self-reliant?"
Isn’t it best if everyone lives in peace?
She doesn't need to bother him, and he doesn't need to care about him. He should just do his thing. Why is he so stubborn and has to find fault?
Could it be that in just this one day, he also realized that he was powerless and wanted to rely on Zhou Yan and live a life of having everything provided for him?
Bah, shameless.
Sui Yu glared at him.
Lu Chen sneered, he really didn't understand the meaning of Sui Yu's glare at him, and he didn't want to understand it for the time being.
He quickly scanned her body and found no signs of dishevelment, so his heart gradually calmed down.
"You go back to live at the educated youth camp." There was no hint of negotiation in his words.
He glanced at Sui Yu, and in a moment of slight daze, he took in Sui Yu's appearance for the first time.
She is indeed very beautiful.
Maybe because it was night, her braids were undone and let down, revealing her thick, long, black hair that was slightly curled, making her palm-sized face look surprisingly white.
The dirt on her face looks like specially painted embellishments, making her look more lively and vivid.
She has red lips and white teeth, and abundant energy and blood. Although she looks frail, people feel that she has abundant energy and blood.
At first glance, she is a spoiled girl who was raised in wealth.
Such a pampered person must not be allowed to stay in Honghe Village.
otherwise......
Lu Chen thought of Huo Jianhua's smiling tiger appearance and made an extremely accurate guess about the consequences of this incident.
He was only in charge during the period from Sui Yu to Huo Jianhua.
After that... he didn't have time to care!
It is also for the sake of Sui Yu's parents who sacrificed their lives for the country. Let's watch over her and make sure she doesn't do anything that she will regret in the future.
Lu Chen glanced at Zhou Yan coldly and had a basic understanding of his personal character.
He gave Sui Yu an ultimatum.
"I sent a telegram to your brother today. Your identity issue will be resolved soon. He will come to pick you up within three months."
Lu Chen inhaled a little more deeply. He saw Sui Yu's eyes suddenly turned red, and his heart suddenly became anxious and a little flustered.
He can hold on.
"During this period, you go back to the educated youth camp and live well. I will stay at Zhou Yan's house."
Don't even think about sneaking back.
Sui Yu retorted, "I don't, why do you care about me?"
Lu Chen: "You have to do it even if you don't want to."
"What's wrong with the conditions at the educated youth camp? You don't want to work..." Lu Chen turned his eyes away irritably. He felt that he had been anxious more times in Honghe Village than in the previous twenty years combined.
"If you don't want to work, find someone else to do it for you. As long as the villagers don't gossip and don't get in your way, I don't care."
"But! You can't live in a strange man's house. It's not decent."
Sui Yu retorted, as if she had found some evidence to support her argument, "It was my brother who asked Zhou Yan to take care of me."
"Your brother asked him to take care of you at home?" Lu Chen couldn't believe it.
There were all kinds of marks on Sui Yu's little face, and she looked so pitiful at first glance. I don't know how she was deceived and turned into this state.
Lu Chen suddenly felt like a juicy cabbage being eaten by a pig.
Sui Yu had no way to respond to Lu Chen's words just now, and even Zhou Yan lowered his head guiltily.
Huo Jianhua never said those things, he just sent a letter specifically, asking him to take good care of Sui Yu and not let her suffer.
She came to live in his house because Sui Yu was disgusted by the conditions at the educated youth site as soon as she saw it. He couldn't take her with him, so he went back home temporarily. She stayed there for nearly half a month.
Then there is the uncontrolled development.
The kiss that night...
Zhou Yan couldn't say anything firm to show that he had no bad intentions towards Sui Yu.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Chen would not let Sui Yu stay here any longer.
The situation came to a standstill for a while.
Lu Chen was about to speak again to remind Sui Yu to go back, but he was frightened by the tears that suddenly rolled down his face.
She cried without making any sound, but just pursed her lips and forced herself to cry. The area around her eyes was red and her face was wet with tears. When she reached out to wipe it, the mud mixed on her face was all over her face.
In this situation, it seemed as if the two of them bullied her.
Sui Yu just felt that she was bullied.
I was originally staying in the courtyard, eating the snacks prepared by Aunt Huo and doing whatever I wanted with Mingluo, but I ended up coming to Honghe Village the next day.
The huge gap left her with almost no time to think, and she was almost shocked by the hardship she had never experienced before.
If Zhou Yan hadn't been able to make her feel more comfortable here, she was afraid she wouldn't have been able to hold on for even these two days.
I had originally gotten used to it, but because of that damn Lu Chen, things started to get more complicated.
When Sui Yu thought about going back and having to listen to the grinding of teeth and snoring of several male educated youth in the field with no sound insulation at all, she wished she had fallen into the ridge of the field and fainted.
"You, don't cry..." Lu Chen's pupils expanded and contracted rapidly, and he could no longer remain calm.
He didn't say anything harsh, did he?
Is he analyzing the pros and cons with her in a gentle tone?
Lu Chen was not very confident that he had not said anything harsh just now. He was at a loss and wanted to wipe Sui Yu's tears.
Zhou Yan held the person and dodged.
His hand hung in mid-air, stiff and helpless, like a withered old bamboo, with only a layer of skin on the outside holding it together.
Zhou Yan carried Sui Yu into the house and sat on his bed. He wiped her tears with a fine cotton handkerchief without saying a word.
Sui Yu glanced outside and saw Lu Chen following in and continuing to cry.
She cried so pitifully that even the tip of her nose was stained red.
Lu Chen's originally firm attitude lost its momentum after he spoke the first sentence. "Did I say something harsh just now?"
What he meant was that if they had a good talk, any communication problems could be solved or alleviated.
At home, even the youngest brothers and sisters can communicate.
But Sui Yu was not someone who could be easily fooled. When she heard Lu Chen's tone slow down, she cried even harder.
Pearl-like tears wet the little face, making it blurry and moist in the dim light, accompanied by sobs, which was particularly heartbreaking.
Lu Chen really couldn't persuade Sui Yu, nor could he convince her, so he looked at Zhou Yan and signaled with his eyes that he should move a few times as well.
At least he knows Sui Yu better than me, knows her preferences, and can coax her?
Zhou Yan lowered his head, looking taciturn and honest, and didn't say a word.
Lu Chen was almost mad at his taciturn behavior.
If I work under him, I will definitely not last until the next day.
He has a bad character, poor ability, and his emotional intelligence seems even more worrying. How could such a person be favored by the arrogant Sui Yu?
Could it be true that the saying goes, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers?
Lu Chen closed his eyes, and all he could hear was Sui Yu's soft sobs as she almost fainted from crying. She couldn't stop hiccuping after crying, and looked so pitiful.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't cry, you just want to live here with Zhou Yan, right?"
Sui Yu ignored him, but the intervals between her sobs became a little longer.
Lu Chen made a final compromise, "You can stay here."
"But I have to stay here too."
"You go to the next room. Here... Zhou Yan and I will sleep together here."
"I'll take you back early in the morning."
Sui Yu's crying gradually subsided, and she hummed softly, saying that her eyes hurt.
Zhou Yan, who had been as dead as a moment ago, suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go get a basin of hot water."
Even though he thought Sui Yu would not come to live here at first, the habit Zhou Yan had developed in the past half month still remained.
There is always some residual carbon burning on the stove, and hot water is always available.
Now you just need to add some cold water, the water temperature is just right.
He carefully used a hot towel to wet Sui Yu's face. He was a tall and strong man, half-kneeling on the ground, and his hands were very gentle.
Lu Chen clicked his tongue, and probably understood what Zhou Yan was up to.
--concubine.
The trick he uses is to serve the good guys in every way, making people think he is good and become dependent on him.
This seems to be a more popular culture in Hong Kong.
Zhou Yan...he definitely has bad intentions.
Lu Chen turned his eyes away and decided to send another urgent telegram tomorrow to ask Huo Jianhua to speed up the process.
Otherwise, by the time he arrives, my beloved sister might already have a brother-in-law.
Or was it the "classmate" he personally pushed out to take care of his sister.
This is interesting.
......
The next morning, it was still dark.
Lu Chen is used to getting up early. He always sleeps little and is full of energy.
Even though he stayed up all night last night, or simply didn't sleep all night, he still looks energetic now.
He glanced at Zhou Yan in silence, his impression of the young man the village chief mentioned declining.
Poor character, poor ability, low emotional intelligence, and one more thing can be added: rudeness.
He snores when he sleeps and kicks people...
It can be said that Lu Chen, who had been tormented all night, kept a distance from him without saying a word, and watched him go into the kitchen and tinker with something.
There was no expression on Zhou Yan's face.
He couldn't even see how cunning he was, as he hadn't slept all night and kicked Lu Chen several times.
I followed the steps to cook the mushroom porridge that Sui Yu liked to drink, and then fried a basket of steamed buns.
By the time Sui Yu was half-carried up and washed, her lunch box was filled with a hearty breakfast, and the skyline was finally bright.
During this time, Lu Chen stood aside and watched, from the twitching of his forehead to the pursed lips and frown, it was the first time he had seen such meticulous care, like taking care of a little baby...
It was as if he was afraid that if he used too much strength or made a louder sound, he would be scared.
He had a general understanding of why Sui Yu was so dependent on Zhou Yan.
The look he gave Zhou Yan became even more fierce.
