The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Zhao Dongchuan was riding the bike and Tian Runye was sitting on the back seat. She felt a little awkward and didn't know where to put her hands. In the end, she had to hold on to the bracket under the seat with both hands to maintain balance.

At this time, the roads in the county town were not flat, and there were some bumpy areas from time to time. Although Zhao Dongchuan tried his best to maintain his balance, the road conditions were really bad.

Suddenly, a hidden small pit appeared in front of them, causing Zhao Dongchuan, who had superhuman reaction speed, to tremble with both hands. Although he quickly stabilized his body, he couldn't avoid stumbling. Tian Runye couldn't help but scream "Ah!" and was frightened. She quickly hugged Zhao Dongchuan's waist with both hands out of the instinct for survival.

After she recovered, she realized that her hands were in the wrong position.

This made her very embarrassed. Zhao Dongchuan naturally noticed this, but he couldn't bring up such a thing on his own initiative. He could only remain silent and pretend not to know.

Tian Runye didn't know what she was thinking about, her face suddenly turned red, and she felt a little feverish. She suppressed her inner nervousness and anxiety, quickly withdrew her hand from Zhao Dongchuan's waist, and grabbed the bracket under the seat again.

"Dongchuan, thank you. Please put me down. The school is just ahead. I can walk there in a few steps!" Seeing that they were almost at the school, Tian Runye quickly asked Zhao Dongchuan to stop.

"It's not easy for you to walk with such a heavy bag. How about I take you to the school dormitory?"

"No, no, you still have to go back to Shuangshui Village. Don't delay, otherwise it will be too late and unsafe!" Tian Runye said quickly.

Seeing Runye's insistence, Zhao Dongchuan naturally gave up. He also guessed what Runye was worried about. She obviously didn't want people to see him going to school with her for fear of causing misunderstanding.

Zhao Dongchuan is not afraid, but he also understands this concern. After all, there are already enough rumors about Runye. If there is one more "rumor", it would be difficult to teach the class.

"Okay, then I'll go first. You be careful!" Zhao Dongchuan turned the car in a direction and waved goodbye to Tian Runye.

Tian Runye was holding a heavy bag and was stunned for a moment as she watched Zhao Dongchuan's back gradually walking away.

But she reacted quickly, shook her head, put her bag on her back, turned around and walked towards the school.

She hadn't taken a few steps when she heard someone calling her.

"Runye! Runye!"

I saw a woman in a plaid shirt shouting at Runye.

This person is Runye’s teacher at the same school, and they live in the same dormitory.

"I saw you from a distance and called you, why didn't you respond to me?"

Runye said apologetically: "Sorry, Gang, I didn't hear it!"

"Gang, I seemed to see you sitting in the back seat, hugging someone's waist? That person was Li Xiangqian, right?" the female teacher said with a smile.

"Didn't you say you didn't like Li Xiangqian? Why did you sit on the back of his bicycle and put your arms around his waist?"

"No, you must have seen it wrong!" Tian Runye naturally couldn't say that the man was not Li Xiangqian. She was afraid of causing more trouble, so she denied it flatly!

"My eyesight is very good, it was obviously you just now!"

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, who is that person?" The female teacher kept asking Tian Runye questions.

Tian Runye naturally ignored her!

Seeing that Runye ignored her, the female teacher felt bored and lost interest in asking further questions, so she followed Runye into the school.

Seeing that the female teacher stopped asking questions, Runye secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

If she hadn't put her arm around the man's waist, she could still say that he was her brother from the same village, but if she put her arm around the man's waist, no one would believe her if she said that again.

"This pothole is really a rip-off!" Runye couldn't help but complain about the potholes on the road. She would find a stone to fill the pothole later.

…………

Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle through the mountains and gullies unique to the loess land. Thinking of the scene just now, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I swear to God, he really didn't mean it!

The pit was hidden so well that he didn't even notice it!

He doesn't want to fall in love. After traveling through time, who would fall in love?

After a bumpy ride, it was already past four in the afternoon when he arrived at Shuangshui Village. Zhao Dongchuan greeted the villagers while heading towards his cave dwelling. On the way, he met Sun Yuting who was writing a "slogan".

"Teacher Zhao, you're back!" Sun Yuting, wearing a blue hat, a belt around his waist, a pipe in his pocket, a lime bucket in one hand and a brush in the other, was greeting him.

"Uncle Yuting, you are busy!"

"Yes, there are not many people in this village who can write wall words. If I don't do it, no one will! I can't escape the idleness!" Sun Yuting said with a smile.

Zhao Dongchuan got out of the car and pushed the cart while chatting with Sun Yuting, and soon entered the cave.

I parked the car in the yard and looked around the house. It was covered in dust as no one had lived there for a few days. This loess plateau is very dusty.

Zhao Dongchuan took some water from the water tank, took a rag and started wiping.

He then used a broom to sweep away the dust on the ground and it took him a long time to clean it up.

Just as he had packed up and was sitting on a wooden bench to rest, a tall and thin man in polyester work clothes and with a strong build came from outside the door. It was Sun Shaoan, whom he had not seen for many days.

"Xiao Zhao, you're back!" Sun Shaoan said with a smile.

"When I came back from work and saw your yard door open, I knew it was you!"

"What's the matter? Why are you going back and forth between Shuangshui Village and Huangyuan City?" Sun Shaoan asked puzzledly. He really couldn't figure out why a person who was paid by the government kept going back to the countryside.

"I'm doing this for you guys..." Zhao Dongchuan complained in his heart with a speechless face!

"If it wasn't for participating in the plot, to see if he could trigger the system task, and help these people, he would have gone all over the world long ago, instead of messing around here!" But I couldn't tell him this, so I had to use the excuse I made before.

"In order to write a book, our Shuangshui Village has many good stories and events that can be used as material!" Zhao Dongchuan said to Sun Shaoan.

Shaoan nodded, not quite understanding, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm going to marry Xiulian during the Chinese New Year!"

"I heard from Shao Ping that you often go to Runye's second father's house. If you run into..." After a pause, Sun Shaoan continued, "If you run into Runye, tell her... I... I'm sorry for her. Let her find a good family to marry!"

Sun Shaoan seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage and spoke to Zhao Dongchuan.

His eyes were filled with tears and redness. He slowly stood up and walked out of the yard without waiting for Zhao Dongchuan to reply.

As I walked step by step, my feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongchuan could only sigh helplessly...
