Part 2, *East Earth Sugar*, Chapter 76: Growth
。He leaned down and kissed her, his expression gentle: "Needs disciplining." 。After that, no one ever brought up having children again. Gu Ruan Dong insisted on using contraception, and Lu Yaoyao wen...I feel guilty. Calling him "Kyoto" feels like I'm not confident enough. It sounds so soft, Song Jingye paused his hand on the car door, his heart felt like it was being scratched, a little annoyed, he escaped here, how could it be such a coincidence, meeting Chen Ning and running into her here doing good deeds Doesn't he know his own worth
But he seemed cold on the surface, opening the car door: "Get in. It'll probably take two hours to fix it. I'm hungry, there are some sandwiches in the back."
Lu Yaoyao didn't get in the car, she stood beside him, looking up at him: "Brother, thank you for saving me last time. Also, tell Gu Ruandong I'm sorry."
Thousands of words, ultimately boil down to a thank you and an apology. It's clear who was in the wrong. They repaid kindness with vengeance, driving me to this desolate place.
Song Jingye initially seemed indifferent, but hearing the guilt in her words, he opened his mouth and finally smiled, "So, who made you delete me from WeChat"
He then showed her the chat interface, pointing out his words: "Going back to the Northwest was my own choice," followed by the part about needing verification from non-friends. He hadn't deleted her from his WeChat yet.
Lu Yaoyao felt another wave of shame and embarrassment, her face reddening even further. She mumbled, "How about I add it back"
"Song Jingye, this is really funny: “Let’s keep it in the group chat if there's something.” "
Lu Yaoyao: "So will you forgive me now"
"Hmm."
"Won't you pretend not to know anymore"
"Are you getting in the car or not" Song Jingye pretended to close the car door.
"Get in," she said, and scrambled into the car.
Song Jingye shut the car door and walked to the trunk, seemingly retrieving something. A while later, he opened the car door again, tossed in a bag of snacks, didn't say a word, and left.
That night, towards the second half of the night, the temperature in the house was slightly higher. The men and women each had a separate room. Lu Yaoyao surprisingly had a particularly strong adaptability. She squeezed between the president and Chen Ning's bed and slept very well.
It's a truly novel and unique experience. There's a sense of groundedness, like falling from the sky and landing firmly on earth.
The next day, Song Jingye still hadn't told the village head their purpose, because he didn't believe the village head could help them.
He said in the group:
"Last night, I inquired with the village headman. Most of the villagers share the surname Wang and are kin. Also, more than half of them are bachelors."
His implication was that the village head tacitly approved of this behavior, and since they were all relatives, if they forcefully took someone, they would likely be ostracized from the village.
"So this village head might not help us, let's not startle the snake."
He asked Chen Ling, "Have you contacted the volunteer who gave you the clues"
"I got in touch with her. She's a college student from this village, just back for the winter break. The kidnapped girl sent her a message for help, and that's how she found us. She'll be at the village committee to meet up soon."
In the two rooms, several people were communicating silently in a group. After a while, the volunteer appeared, also a young girl with a youthful face, sneaking around furtively.
She didn't dare to stay long, and simply said: "The Wang brothers are going to a pig-killing feast in the next village tonight. Only that girl is left at home, she's locked in the west room of the courtyard. You guys hurry up. After you get her out from the village entrance, don't take the road you came on. There's a small road about a kilometer north, go through that small road, and it will lead directly to the main road."
It was clearly well-researched, concise and to the point.
Lu YaoYao heard the girl's words, and only then did she feel a sense of tension and reality. However, she was also a little worried about her: "Will helping us be detrimental to you What will you do afterwards"
The girl didn't see who it was just now, but when she saw it was Lu Yaoyao, a blush crossed her face: "Anyway, I've already gone out, and I'll never come back for the rest of my life. This village is rotten to the core, and you shouldn't trust the village head. He turns a blind eye to this kind of behavior. Half of the men in this village are bachelors, and he always feels that if no women come in, the village will perish. He can't wait for those bachelors to buy more women back, so let it perish, they should think about why they can't get married Because their "wives" were buried by their parents before they were born.
A bit cynical and a little realistic, Lu Yao started not understanding what she said. After reacting for a while, she understood.
I once again admire their foresight and courage at such a young age.
"What if you leave with us tonight What if they find out you reported them, what will happen to you"
The girl laughed and said, "It's nothing. The village head is my dad. I did it on purpose to get him to deal with it. Besides, I got into university, which has brought honor to his face. He won't do anything to me."
Ah, that makes sense. That's why Lu Yaoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl looked at the road they had taken back to the village entrance with them again, then before leaving, she glanced at Lu Yaoyao and said a little shyly, "Can I take a picture with you I'm your fan."
Now it was Lu Yaoyao's turn to be pampered. She hurriedly got off the kang and stood beside him, emphasizing, "I didn't put on makeup, you have to use a beauty camera to take a picture of me. Help me take a good one."
After finishing, she raised a star's standard professional smile and intimidated the girl in this simple room.
Song Jingye found it amusing. At a time like this, he was still preoccupied with his appearance.
A group of people stayed in the village committee's house waiting for dusk. During this time, Song Jingye prepared to go out and scout the terrain, and Chen Lin followed him urgently.
Outside, the sky was freezing cold and the entire village was quiet. The only sound was the wisps of smoke rising from each household's chimney. If you just looked at the surface, it would seem like a desirable pastoral life.
Song Jingye's steps were large and he walked quickly. Chen Ning returned, keeping up with him almost needing to jog. They were a step or two apart, walking towards the village entrance one after another.
Looking at his broad back, Chen Ning recalled a few years ago when he had met her while she was escaping and getting caught in the mountains during a military training exercise. He had saved her then, just like now, walking ahead while she followed behind.
"Kyo-kun, will you be working in Kyoto again in the future"
Song Jingye slowed his pace slightly to listen to her, but he didn't answer.
I applied to be a graduate student at our school this year. After graduation, I plan to take the exam for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Song Jingye hummed in response.
"You don't have to send me living allowance every year, I have scholarships and also get a basic salary from doing these public services, it's enough for me to live on."
Song Jingye: "High consumption in Beijing, spend if you have to."
It was a sense of responsibility that brought her out of the mountains and into a wider world, to provide support while her wings were still fledgling. From the moment he saw her in the mountains, he knew this girl had the potential to go very far.
Chen Ning's heart was wet with emotion. She knew that all the courage she had to rush forward came from him.
