Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

It was not until Xu Yan did this that Bai Luwei felt a little chilly, so he muttered, "Why is it so cold today? I'll go add some firewood to keep warm."

The wood used for cooking in the furnace was neatly stacked in the courtyard. Looking at the white reeds lying flat, Xu Yan hinted that there was no need to get up, and he walked to the courtyard to collect firewood.

As he stepped out of the door, his eyes were involuntarily drawn to the wooden column leaning against the earthen wall. This resonated with Su Wanwan's previous observation, and a brief and slightly disgusted expression flashed across his face, and then he quickly took the firewood and returned to the room.

Dry wood was thrown into the stove, and soon sparks flew, and the whole house and even the earthen kang gradually became warm.

"Brother Xu Yan, are you done with your work? Otherwise, just ignore that room for now. It won't be too late to fix the kang tomorrow." Li Meifen turned to lie on her side comfortably, her cheek pressed against the pillow, staring at Xu Yan who was busy by the fire.

Before Li Meifen finished speaking, Bai Luwei, who was in a leisurely mood, couldn't help but look at Xu Yan from the side. Apart from silently adding firewood and boiling water, Xu Yan didn't make any other movements, as if he turned a deaf ear to Li Meifen's words.

"Okay, then go to sleep first. You have to get up early tomorrow." Bai Luwei no longer paid attention to what was happening in the room. He turned over and said, then soon fell into a deep sleep.

The snoring sound in the room gradually became louder and louder, appearing and disappearing.

Li Meifen, feeling a little helpless, seemed to have noticed something and adjusted her sitting position slightly.

"Brother Xu Yan, I found that the kang in this room is bigger than ours. There is still some space left after spreading out three quilts." After saying that, she deliberately turned her head to look at Xu Yan's neatly stacked bedding, which was right between her and Bai Luwei.

They didn't use the kang to sleep during the day, so they were used to folding their quilts and putting them aside. At this moment, only Bai Luwei and Li Meifen's quilts were spread out, while Xu Yan's own quilt was still folded and placed alone in the center of the kang.

"Brother Xu Yan, why don't you pay attention to me?" Her voice was slightly dissatisfied and inquiring.

The snoring in the white reeds continued without interruption. Li Meifen tried her best to lower her voice and asked tentatively, "Did I do anything that annoyed you?"

"No." Xu Yan, who was sitting next to the fire, used a hook to lift a corner of the kettle and saw that the water inside had begun to bubble, indicating that the hot water was about to boil.

"Then why are you so hot and cold towards me? During the youth exchange activity among the four of us young people, except for me, you and Wanwan were very close. Did you know each other before?"

Since she had decided to shamelessly move into Xu Yan's house, Li Meifen decided to be determined to get close to him. There were less than ten days left for the exchange, and she not only needed to get to know him in this short period of time, but also find a way to get his attention on her, and preferably win his favor.

As long as there is a chance to get close to Xu Yan, for ordinary people like them, they have to calculate their meager salary every month carefully to avoid getting into trouble, but if they have his help, the future days will not be so tight.

"We are acquaintances." Xu Yan left the stove and picked up the kettle of boiling water. "We are quite familiar with each other."

"Oh... I can see that. But I feel like Wanwan doesn't seem to care about you that much. That time when you went to the rice fields to help her, she didn't seem to want to contact you. I know that you don't really care in your heart, but I was really angry when I saw it."

Li Meifen tried to make her voice soft and tender while planning the next round of attack, but Xu Yan did not leave her any room to speak.

"You've said this several times. If you really feel uncomfortable, just don't stare at me next time." Xu Yan answered calmly as he moved closer to the door.

Realizing that Xu Yan was about to carry the boiling water to the adjacent house, Li Meifen suddenly half sat up and tried to chase him out.

But Xu Yan showed no intention of stopping and walked out of the house without waiting for her to speak. Li Meifen could only grit her teeth between Bai Wei's snoring and the indignation in her heart.

Why did Su Wanwan get treated like this? Angrily, Li Meifen took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Even though she felt a little tired, she was not in a hurry to act at this moment. Knowing that Xu Yan would come back after repairing the kang, she only needed to endure for a while and then she could talk to him.

And tomorrow morning, when the production team's gathering place passed by her own courtyard, the short wall was a great opportunity for her...

After expressing her wish to spend the night in this room, Li Meifen had secretly planned a more daring and secret plan...

Although free love is advocated today, young people still retain a lot of conservative elements in their behavior... Precisely because of their reserve, they rarely behave too intimately in public. Therefore, as long as you notice which boy and girl walk together more frequently in the village, everyone can sense the unusual emotional fluctuations.

Li Meifen made a big bet. This idea had already sprouted in her mind while she was working in the afternoon. If she was still in the village where she went to work, such a thing would be unthinkable, after all, there were dormitories for educated youths, and the educated youths lived in the same room. But it was different in Baihua Village. Considering that only four young people came here to exchange and study, the villagers let them share the same courtyard that was almost next to each other for convenience. This created an excellent window for Li Meifen to execute the strategy.

Tomorrow morning, she only needs to pretend to get up a little later. As long as people outside see some details and gossip in the courtyard, her purpose will be realized.

Li Meifen firmly believed that even if she faced the villagers' questioning, she would be able to distance herself from the matter by claiming that it was the neighbor's kang that collapsed, and further create the image of her close relationship with Xu Yan.

Even though Xu Yan was unwilling, he had no way to defend himself against such groundless doubts. In addition, it was difficult to understand people's psychology. After tonight, even if she really wanted to clarify, how convincing would she be? People's conviction was usually based on what they saw with their own eyes, that is, the simple fact that she had appeared outside Xu Yan's door.

After Li Meifen pondered again, she returned to the kang and closed her eyes to take a nap, paying attention to any movement outside, waiting for the night to fall. Seeing Xu Yan go out, Su Wanwan expected that he would come back soon, but when she heard the roar of boiling water and sporadic conversations next door, Su Wanwan realized where he had gone.

Originally thinking that it would take a long time for Xu Yan to return after the hot water was ready, Su Wanwan simply took off her clothes, got on the kang, pulled up the quilt and prepared to rest. Due to the lack of heating by the stove, the kang surface was a little cold, and although she hid in the quilt as quickly as lightning, she still couldn't resist the cold. At this moment, her body couldn't help but shiver.

"Get up and soak your feet to warm your body." At this moment, she was drowsy, and suddenly a clear voice floated into her ears.

Su Wanwan made a vague response in a daze, but she honestly turned over and planned to continue sleeping. Xu Yan sat on the edge of the kang, his eyes full of warmth, and the kettle was still bubbling with tiny bubbles, making a gurgling sound, as if gently urging her.
