Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Chapter 24: Return to the 4th Courtyard

A line of words floated above Qin Huairu's head: Favorability 78. It paused for about 3 seconds before fading away.

Li Dongfang was speechless as he looked at the concise and clear display. This function seemed useless, yet seemed very useful. He didn't grasp the key point for the moment and was too lazy to think about it. He just watched Qin Huairu fixing her hair. Her raised arms made the surging chest even more eye-catching.

Qin Huairu tidied herself up, sat sideways on Li Dongfang's lap, put her arms around his neck and said, "Are you satisfied now?!"

Li Dongfang took a deep breath of the fragrance of the shampoo on Qin Huairu's hair and said:

"It's okay. Let's leave it like this for today. Otherwise, I'm afraid someone won't be able to walk."

Qin Huairu, who originally wanted to be affectionate with Li Dongfang for a while, looked up and saw that it was already past 10 o'clock. She quickly got up from Li Dongfang and said:

"It's so late, I have to go back, otherwise I will be scolded again."

In fact, the Jia family had probably gone to bed by this time, so it was okay to have the party later, but Qin Huairu felt that Li Dongfang was showing signs of changing again, and she was really a little scared.

Li Dongfang now felt relaxed, thinking that there was still a long time to come, he stood up and said to Qin Huairu:

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Dongfang in surprise and said:

"You're not going to work? I can walk by myself, otherwise people will notice you wandering off."

Li Dongfang shrugged and said indifferently:

"It's okay. It won't take an hour to go back and forth. The roads are not safe at night. It's not safe for a woman like you to walk on the road."

Li Dongfang was really not afraid of being discovered, and according to the original owner's memory, no one had ever come to the infirmary at this time.

After saying that, Li Dongfang put on a thick cotton jacket, picked up the lunch box, held Qin Huairu's hand and walked out.

When has Qin Huairu ever been so valued? When she was not working, no one in the Jia family would think of her, let alone worry about her safety. She felt warm in her heart and did not refuse when Li Dongfang held her hand. She thought to herself that it was cold at this time and she probably wouldn't meet anyone.

Arriving at the factory gate, the two of them let go of each other's hands at the same time in sync. The guard in the duty room stretched his head to take a look at the two of them, but did not ask any further questions. It was such a large factory with many workers and their families coming in and out, and as long as they were not taking anything outside, basically no one would ask any questions.

The two were walking on the dark road. Fortunately, Li Dongfang took a flashlight when he came out, otherwise there would be no street lights on the road at this time. Even the houses on the roadside were dark. In the era when there were no fires at night, everyone went to bed early at this time. Even if there were two lights on occasionally, the dim lights would not be able to help them find the road.

Li Dongfang put his arm around Qin Huairu's waist. Although he couldn't touch anything through the thick cotton-padded jacket, it still gave Qin Huairu a warm feeling. Leaning slightly on Li Dongfang, Qin Huairu felt sweet in her heart.

Neither of them spoke, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, except for the cold wind that was a bit of a letdown.

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Qin Huairu raised her head and said to Li Dongfang, "We're here, you can go back now."

Li Dongfang looked at her face which had returned to normal, bent down and kissed her on the lips. Although she knew there was no one around, Qin Huairu was still frightened and looked around, "I'm going to die, what if someone sees us? Be careful."

Seeing Li Dongfang's smiling eyes, Qin Huairu rolled her eyes, looked around to see that there was no one around, and quickly kissed Li Dongfang on the mouth. She turned around and ran towards the courtyard. Li Dongfang stood in the shadows and watched Qin Huairu walk into the courtyard with a slightly awkward step.

At this time, the door god Yan Bugui had already locked the door and gone to sleep. Fortunately, Qin Huairu brought the key to the small door, otherwise it would have taken some effort to get in.

Seeing Qin Huairu come in and wave at him again, Li Dongfang turned on the flashlight and shone it. When he saw her close the door, he turned back and walked back into the factory.

When I came here with Qin Huairu, I didn't feel anything. When I left, the cold wind made Li Dongfang feel unbearable. When he returned to the infirmary, he felt cold in his bones. After roasting the fire for a while, he felt sleepy, locked the door and went to sleep. The night shift is quite friendly to single dogs. It's free time and you can sleep.

When I woke up, it was almost time for the shift change, so I washed up and got off work.

Carrying the lunch box, I bought breakfast from the canteen, including steamed bread and pickles. I still found an empty alley, bought some pork and green onions, and two pounds of millet. I planned to go home and have a big meat bun and millet porridge, and returned to the courtyard happily.

After entering the middle courtyard, Li Dongfang, who was not very good at cooking, did not see Qin Huairu. He was a little confused. Just when he was wondering what to do, he heard a voice from the Jia family, "Qin Huairu, is the meal ready? I'm waiting to go to work."
