Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Unfamiliar, Fought Before

Su Yuncheng regretted giving Lin Nianhe a knowing look as soon as he had done it.

He shouldn’t have asked her at this time—it was too dangerous for her.

But Lin Nianhe had already responded with a clear look of understanding and started walking outside.

Su Yuncheng stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and said to her, "No need to see me out, go back and read your book."

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

The man is so fickle.

She was certain the look Su Yuncheng had given her was signaling her to follow him out, she didn’t misread it.

But this...

Lin Nianhe "hmmmed" softly, smiled, stood still and waved to him: "Alright then, take care on your way."

She obediently stood there, gazing unblinkingly at Su Yuncheng with her big eyes.

Su Yuncheng read a certain special meaning from her eyes.

He nodded, "Okay."

Once he had left, Lin Nianhe turned around and headed back, but as she passed by Wang Shumei, she playfully tugged on her braids a couple of times.

Lin Nianhe didn’t wait too long in the backyard before Wang Shumei came over with some scratch paper, muttering, "Nianhe, take a look at this problem for me, I can’t solve it."

"Sure, come in. I’ve just washed my hair."

At this moment, the sky was dimming.

After entering, Wang Shumei sniffed, there was no expected smell of mutton, only a sweet fragrance of an unknown flower, which was very pleasant.

Seeing Lin Nianhe who had not let down her hair, Wang Shumei asked her in a low voice, "What’s wrong?"

"I’m going out for a bit, watch over things for me," Lin Nianhe whispered in her ear, "At most half an hour."

She was not sure whether Su Yuncheng had fully understood her meaning or not, but whether he did or not, she had to go and look for him.

"Alright."

Wang Shumei nodded in response, not asking her what she was going to do, just pursing her lips, giggling softly, "What would you do without me."

As Lin Nianhe climbed over the wall to leave, she really thought about what she would do without Wang Shumei.

At the very least, she wouldn’t be able to earn more than two thousand a month by going up to the mountain, let alone having a friend on the same wavelength.

Lin Nianhe decided she should treat Sister Shumei a little better. She won’t raise the price of the mutton for her.

As she pondered, she hurried towards the direction of the village entrance. After walking a while, feeling it was too slow, she started to jog.

As she passed by the woods at the edge of the village, a small stone flew out from the side and landed at her feet.

Lin Nianhe immediately became cautious, turned her head to look, and saw a tall figure standing in the dark shadow of the trees.

It was Su Yuncheng, and it seemed he had been waiting for a while.

She smiled, a light and easy smile.

Dealing with a smart person really saved trouble; it allowed her to spare a lot of nonsense and avoid many detours.

She habitually checked her surroundings and, seeing no one, she swiftly darted into the woods.

"Slow down."

Seeing her running so fast, Su Yuncheng instinctively reached out wanting to steady her.

But Lin Nianhe wasn’t slowed down by the darkness at all and stood firmly in front of him.

The leaves blocked the moonlight, hiding their figures.

Lin Nianhe asked in a soft voice, "You asked me to come out just now because you had something to ask me, right?"

"Yep." Su Yuncheng nodded, his expression a bit grave.

He remembered very clearly that today, when he encountered that male educated youth, he had just left the entrance of the village, heading in the opposite direction of the town.

That road led directly to Nine-miles Team.

Of course, if one were to keep going and make a couple of turns, it also led to Birch Team.

But he had to consider the worst-case scenario.

"The last male educated youth who returned to the Educated Youth Corps, are you familiar with him?" Su Yuncheng asked softly.

"Fu Aiguo?" Lin Nianhe looked at him, shook her head, "Not familiar, but I’ve hit him."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

Indeed, the little overlord of Jingshan has changed, but not by much.

How many fights has she actually gotten into at the places he hasn’t seen?

Lin Nianhe, with innocent eyes, casually said: "It was the day you caught Sister Shumei, she and I were chatting leisurely in the room—I was mainly advising her not to go to dangerous places. We were just talking, and he sneaked back and eavesdropped by our door."

"Actually, it wasn’t me who hit him, I opened the door, and Sister Shumei struck him once, hitting his shoulder."

"After that whenever he saw us, he would always take a detour. Actually, we hadn’t spoken much before either. He can’t cook, he’s responsible for fetching water in the front yard, occasionally we might bump into each other in the backyard."

Lin Nianhe didn’t know why Su Yuncheng was asking about Fu Aiguo, but she also had no good impression of him. The incident that day, coupled with the previous issue of Li Xiaoshan sending gifts, always felt like a thorn in Lin Nianhe’s heart that pricked her whenever she thought of it.

Su Yuncheng listened carefully, his suspicion growing even more.

He asked, "Did he take leave today to go to the town?"

Lin Nianhe knew about this: "Hmm, Wang Xue came back this morning and brought the message that his relative in town was looking for him. He met them at the clinic, and he asked Uncle Team Leader for leave early in the morning."

"Early in the morning?"

"Yes."

"Did you see him at noon?"

"No."

The leaves rustled, the wind whispered.

Su Yuncheng fell silent for a moment, then said to Lin Nianhe: "Stay away from him in the future. If he calls you out, make any excuse not to follow him, understand?"

He stared into Lin Nianhe’s eyes, extremely serious.

Lin Nianhe nodded: "Understood."

She also told Su Yuncheng about the matter of Li Xiaoshan asking her to deliver gifts to Wang Xixi, although she had no evidence to prove that the unseen observer was Fu Aiguo. But with such odd encounters at the Educated Youth Corps, she felt it was still necessary to mention them.

Su Yuncheng listened to her and felt somewhat distressed.

She had only been in the countryside for a little over a month, yet so much had happened.

This time he couldn’t hold back, lifting his hand to gently rub her head.

The girl’s hair was very soft, lightly brushing through the palm of his hand, slightly ticklish.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll investigate and sort it out as soon as possible."

Lin Nianhe was suddenly patted on the head, a bit stunned, and almost lost control of her reflex to twist his neck.

Her left and right hands clasped tightly, restraining each other.

Su Yuncheng didn’t know that he had just narrowly escaped danger, seeing Lin Nianhe remain silent, he thought she was shy. His ears also getting a bit hot, he quickly withdrew his hand and changed the topic: "How did you come out?"

"Climbed over the wall."

"..."

So, the reason she put so many rat traps at the base of the wall is because she loves climbing walls herself, right, and connected it to a criminal’s path?

Su Yuncheng said: "Let’s go, I’ll take you back."

As if afraid she would reject, he quickly added: "It’s getting dark."

The sky had already turned pitch black, walking next to the woods indeed felt a bit eerie.

The two of them, one after another, walked back in the moonlight.

Su Yuncheng’s gaze fell on Lin Nianhe, concern filling his eyes.

As they neared the Educated Youth Corps, he stopped and called out to her: "Nianhe."

"Hmm?" Lin Nianhe stopped and turned to look at him.

Su Yuncheng walked up to her, bent down, and took a dagger from his calf to hand to her.

"Take it, for self-defense."

The cold moonlight fell into his eyes, turning into a warm and tender stream.
