Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: Great Devotion 3

Zheng Huihui nodded slightly and slung the shoulder bag she had prepared earlier. "I’m going out for a bit."

"Find someone to go with you!" the female educated youth leader Liao Aidang spoke up, "Whether you’re going out or to the bathroom, don’t go alone to avoid incidents like Mo Bai’s, which would look bad for all of us."

The other female educated youths all nodded in agreement and glanced at Bai Xiaolin.

Bai Xiaolin said with a bitter face, "How would I have known something like that would happen? I’ve already distanced myself from Wang Lingzhi."

The reason for the estrangement was not Mo Bai, but at the wedding of the two, she heard someone discussing her, saying she was the silly educated youth who was completely fooled by Wang Lingzhi, and would surely end up being hated by Mo Bai in the future.

Although Bai Xiaolin was not clear on what kind of person Wang Lingzhi was, she felt she should keep her distance from Wang Lingzhi.

Zheng Huihui heard Bai Xiaolin’s words and smiled slightly, "Alright, let’s not blame Xiaolin anymore. She didn’t do it on purpose, how could she know Wang Lingzhi would have such an incident with Mo Bai?"

Bai Xiaolin looked at Zheng Huihui gratefully.

Zhou Zhou pursed her lips and had not spoken throughout the entire exchange, but when Liao Aidang adamantly refused to let Zheng Huihui go out alone, Zhou Zhou was named by Zheng Huihui and had no choice but to shake out the freshly washed clothes, hang them on the line, pour out the dirty water from the basin, and then follow her out the door.

Heading west, the farther they walked, the farther they got from the educated youth spot.

"Huihui, it’s getting dark!" Zhou Zhou reminded, "The brigade commander has warned us not to go out at night. Although the people in our brigade are generally very nice, there are also those with ill intentions."

Zheng Huihui couldn’t help but say, "Zhou Zhou, can you please stop bringing up the brigade commander all the time? I have something to do."

Zhou Zhou frowned and stopped trying to persuade her, silently following behind and noticing that she was heading in the direction of the Lu Family.

The Lu Family? Zhou Zhou’s eyes suddenly lit up with a flicker of realization.

As they approached Lu Jiang’s house, they saw several children playing at the door, each with a grimy face – a boy about seven or eight years old, a girl around four or five, and two identical, plump little boys.

The two older children ran ahead towards the door, while the two little boys stumbled after them.

Next to them, a very handsome young man with his hands behind his head leaned against the wall, a stalk of wheat in his mouth. Seeing one little boy running too fast and about to fall, the young man dashed forward like lightning, scooping him up in his arms.

"Erxiong, can’t you slow down? Always tripping over your own feet," Guan Yu said laughing as he patted off the dust from the boy.

Sweat mixed with dust smeared all over Xiongxiong’s chubby face. Taking advantage of Guan Yu’s distraction, he rubbed against Guan Yu, instantly staining a large patch of his snow-white sweatshirt black, delighted with laughter.

Guan Yu, looking at the stain on his chest, cried out, "Lu Erxiong, you’re such a rascal!"

Lu Erxiong’s response was to slip off him with a slick sound, shaking his little chubby body as he ran into the gate, his legs moving agilely, not at all like a toddler of just eighteen or nineteen months.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but let a faint smile creep onto her lips.

Guan Yu was about to follow his little brother inside when he suddenly noticed the two young women at the gate. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "Aren’t you the educated youths from the Capital? Why aren’t you heading home with it getting dark? What are you doing here?"
