Chapter 44 - 44

Chapter 44: A Fight Broke Out" Educated Youth Yun, can I move over here too?"Li Qiuyue asked softly.Yun Ting and the other two looked at her at the same time, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. "Wh...what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Qiuyue touched her face."Why did you suddenly decide to move here?"Yun Ting asked with a smile, though she knew the reason in her heart.Li Qiuyue blushed, "I just think it's quite nice that you guys live here.""Something's wrong, Sister Xia! The Educated Youth Point group... they're fighting!" Qian Huirushed into the courtyard and shouted as the group was chatting."Let's go…let's go take a look." Yun Ting jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) with great enthusiasm.Seeing her like that, Li Hongxia shook her head helplessly…The group headed towards Educated Youth Point, and several male Educated Youths in the courtyard, hearing the commotion, also came out and headed towards Educated Youth Point.When they arrived, Zhao Weidong and He Junjun were fighting fiercely. Zhang Wei went forward to break up the fight, but wasaccidentally punched by Zhao Weidong, leaving his face bruised and purple." Zhao Weidong, you son of a bitch, you even tried to steal the person I was chasing! I'll beat you to death…" He Junjun cursed as he hit her."Tch, did Xiaoxue agree to your request? How is that stealing her? You're the coward." Zhao Weidong retorted."Stop hitting him..."People tried to break up the fight, but things were in complete chaos.Yun Ting watched with great interest, taking out a handful of sunflower seeds and cracking them as she watched – the perfect way to enjoy a melon!" Lin Xue, these two are fighting like this because of you, aren't you going to say a word?"Li Hongxia looked at Lin Xue, who seemed indifferent to the situation, with annoyance."Heh~ Li Educated Youth, how can you blame me? I didn't let them hit me."Lin Xue quite enjoyed being pursued by men, and the fact that they would fight over her satisfied her vanity. Who said only Yang Qingqing and Yun Ting could attract men? Lin Xue was just as good."Heh...that's amazing?" Zhou Yang came in and joked with a smile.Lin Xue's eyes never left Lu Jiayan, who entered behind Zhou Yang.Why isn't Lu Jiayan among all those people who are jealous of her? She only loves him!Lu Jiayan didn't even glance at her, and went straight up to help Zhang Wei separate the two fighting people."Who the hell..." Zhao Weidong was about to curse when he met Lu Jiayan's cold gaze and immediately fell silent, stopping his actions.Tsk... It's over so quickly, Yun Ting said, I haven't had enough yet!Next, she didn't want to listen to their bickering anymore. She said goodbye to Li Hongxia, clapped her hands, put her hands in her pockets, and turned to leave Educated Youth Point.A light snow began to fall outside. Yun Tingstrolled slowly towards the courtyard, admiring the snowy scenery of the village. She couldn't remember the last time she had stopped and enjoyed herself like this. Life here was simple and unpretentious, and quite nice.At the entrance of the courtyard stood a tall figure. Yun Ting stopped and looked closely. The other person seemed to sense something, turned around, and their eyes met." Duan Xingye, what brings you here? Why don't you go inside? It's so cold standing here." Yun Ting smiled and jogged forward.Duan Xingye watched the girl run towards him with a bright smile, her footsteps echoing through the snow. Suddenly, he felt that everything around him paled in comparison to her smile."Waiting for you…" He chuckled softly.Yun Ting was taken aback, as if it was the first time someone had said those two words to her, and she couldn't quite describe how she felt."Come on, let's go inside, it's too cold in here."Yun Ting led him inside, only to discover that there was something strapped to the back of his bicycle."What did you bring this time? I don't need anything.""The weather is getting colder, so I got you a coal stove and some honeycomb briquettes so you can boil water and cook," Duan Xingyeexplained, his voice deep and gentle."Ah! Thank you so much! I'd completely forgotten about it for a while. I was planning to make a trip before the roads were closed due to the heavy snow these past few days! Duan Xingye, you're a real lifesaver!""So how do you plan to thank me?""You're so direct! Shouldn't you have said 'You're welcome'?" Yun Ting rolled her eyes at him playfully."Hehe~ I was wrong, shall I do it again?" Duan Xingye teased her."Oh my! So this is what Duan Xingye is like.""So, what should I have been like in your eyes?"Yun Ting picked up the thermos and poured him a cup of hot water before laughing and saying, "Hmm! You should be holding a thermos and brewing tea, looking like a serious old cadre. That's what a Secretary should be like, haha..."As she spoke, she imagined a whole series of scenarios, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.Duan Xingye laughed along with her; this wasthe first time Yun Ting had ever seen him laugh so heartily!" Duan Xingye, you look so beautiful when you smile, you should smile more.""Really? Didn't you say I had to be serious to act like a Secretary?""Hehe...it depends on the occasion!""Okay, I can smile more in front of you from now on."Yun Ting's smile froze for a moment. What the hell? Why is he smiling in front of her? Who is this devilish man trying to seduce?Duan Xingye pretended not to see her stiff expression, "Your little house is quite nicely decorated, small but perfectly formed.""That is...""To properly thank you, I'll treat you to hot pot today!""Great! It would be my pleasure."This season, besides cabbage, radishes, and potatoes, there aren't many other vegetables. She does have some in her storage space, but she can't take it out! She soaked some dried wood ear mushrooms and other mushrooms, sliced ​​some frozen meat, and that's about it.Seeing her busy, Duan Xingye went over to help, but Yun Ting didn't stand on ceremony with him. She told him to wash the vegetables and cut the meat, while she went to cook the broth. WhenDuan Xingye wasn't looking, she secretly added some spiritual spring water." Duan Xingye, do you eat spicy food?""I'm fine with anything, I'm not picky about food."Yun Ting added a little less dried chili, and soon the soup base boiled, filling the air with a rich aroma." Yun Ting, what are you doing?" Yang Qingqingasked as she opened the door."Want to have hot pot together?"" Educated Youth Yun, I want one too…" Zhou Yang's voice came from the courtyard.Yun Ting and Yang Qingqing exchanged a glance. "Is this guy some kind of dog with a nose? He came back by smelling the scent."Yang Qingqing found it amusing; indeed, Zhou Yang always made a special trip whenever there was something delicious to eat."Let's all come together! I'll go first! There's nothing good here!"Yun Ting didn't care, but Duan Xingye was annoyed. They finally had a chance to be alone together, but a bunch of third wheels showed up, and most of them were male comrades."Come, let me introduce you first. This is my second brother's comrade-in-arms, Duan Xingye."" Brother Huai's comrade-in-arms? Why does he look so familiar?" Zhou Yang asked, puzzled."Hehe... He's also the new Secretary of Shengli Commune, you've all probably met him."Hello everyone…" Hello, Secretary Duan..." they all said in unison.Duan Xingye: "…"
