Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

"The car was parked not far away. I thought it was a bit stuffy in the car as it was still some distance from the village, so I got out to take a breath and take a walk. Then I saw Wanwan standing here alone, not knowing what she was doing."

Faced with Xu Yan's explanation, Su Wanwan was half-believing and half-doubting.

"So you take such a long walk..."

Su Wanwan bit her lower lip slightly, slowed down her riding speed, and finally got off the bike, holding the handlebars with both hands, and walked forward side by side with Xu Yan.

"Now it's not a question of how far I walked, but why did Wanwan appear here? What is Wanwan doing here?"

For some reason, Xu Yan's words sounded as distant as the weather at that moment.

"I... Can't I just come out for a walk? Such beautiful snow, of course I have to come out and take a good look at it..."

It was obvious that Su Wanwan's answer was not only unconvincing, but also seemed to be deliberately covering up something. Xu Yan glanced at Su Wanwan's eyes indifferently and did not choose to answer her immediately.

"Wouldn't it be better to take a walk in the village or at the foot of a nearby mountain? The distance from here to the village is quite long. Did you go to the village chief or the cafeteria to borrow this bicycle to go for a walk?"

Su Wanwan pursed her lips slightly and said nothing more.

"Why aren't you talking, Wanwan?"

The two of them walked side by side in silence for nearly a hundred meters. Just when Su Wanwan thought that Xu Yan might have left at some point and she might be able to breathe freely, she looked up and her eyes met Xu Yan's.

When their eyes met, Su Wanwan quickly lowered her head as if she was guilty, avoiding Xu Yan's gaze.

This action gave people ample reason to doubt her.

"Nothing... When did you see me just now? What was I doing when you saw me?"

Su Wanwan couldn't stand the torment in her heart anymore, so she took a few steps forward and silently made up her mind to make clear what had just happened.

If Xu Yan saw it, he would think of a way to deal with it. It was not a bad thing anyway. It was just some ability that others did not have.

If Xu Yan didn't see anything, then wouldn't she be torturing herself here?

"What does Wanwan want me to see?" Xu Yan threw the question back to Su Wanwan again unclearly.

Su Wanwan: “…”

What on earth does this guy mean? Is he trying to tease her?

"No, I was just asking. Secretary Wang bought a batch of chairs with backrests from the timber factory in town, but it snowed heavily and the workers couldn't bring them back, so they left them on the way."

Su Wanwan looked into Xu Yan's eyes from time to time, intending to take the initiative to reveal some clues.

"So you found a bicycle specifically to come out and look at those chairs? You plan to find a way to move them back yourself?"

Following Su Wanwan's reminder, Xu Yan quickly found an idea. Su Wanwan immediately nodded, but deliberately acted a little embarrassed.

"What about the chairs?"

Facing Xu Yan's question, Su Wanwan, who was never good at lying, could only answer vaguely -

"You can see it too. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. I can't even see the things in front of me clearly. This road is already very narrow. With such a heavy snow covering it, who knows where the road is..."

"Well, you are right. Since the workers can't deliver the chairs to the village, aren't you afraid of getting lost when you come here alone in such heavy snow?"

Su Wanwan remained silent.

What Xu Yan said does make sense...

As the two of them were walking forward, talking to each other, Su Wanwan was surprised to find that the bicycle tracks she had left when she came just now had been perfectly covered by the heavy snow. In other words, she had no idea which direction she was going.

The only reference point here is the big mountain behind the village, but Shuitian Village not only has a mountain behind it, but there are also mountains of similar appearance in almost every direction. From the perspective of the village, they may appear far and near, but from their direction, these mountains all look the same, and because they look too similar, they have even lost their value as a reference for direction.

"Let's put those chairs on the road first. Since Secretary Wang bought them in town and he organized people to deliver them here, we can just hand them over to Secretary Wang to deal with when the time comes."

Seeing that Su Wanwan didn't say anything and slowed down her pace of pushing the bicycle again, Xu Yan couldn't help but soften his voice.

"Do you really think so? Don't you have anything else to ask?"

Finally, Su Wanwan gripped the handlebars, mustered up the courage to turn around and look at Xu Yan, looking straight into his eyes.

The last time the two of them went to the mountains to hunt wild boars, she put the wild boar into a hidden space at an extremely dangerous moment, killed it and quickly took it out, which aroused Xu Yan's vigilance. He looked at her with such eyes at that time!

Even though it was snowing heavily just now, Su Wanwan still found this familiar look on Xu Yan's face in the snow.

This guy must have seen something just now, but he didn't say it.

Just like that night a few months ago.

Su Wanwan felt inexplicably irritated.

"Of course I am willing to believe Wanwan, and I am willing to believe that everything Wanwan does is good, even if there are some things I don't fully understand."

Looking at Xu Yan's extremely serious eyes staring at her, Su Wanwan was speechless for a moment.

So this guy... really didn’t see it or didn’t see it clearly just now?

"I……"

Seeing Su Wanwan stuttering and wanting to continue saying something, Xu Yan suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly turned around and walked back -

"Wait here for me and I'll drive the car over."

Su Wanwan blinked blankly, and waited until Xu Yan walked out more than ten meters before she nodded belatedly. Then she stood there pushing the bicycle, letting the snowflakes that kept getting thicker cover her head.

It was not until the sound of the engine came closer that Su Wanwan slightly moved her stiff body.

Immediately, a pair of big hands gently put an extremely thick scarf around her neck. By the time she reacted, the scarf had been wrapped around her several times by Xu Yan very quickly.

"Whose scarf is this?"

Su Wanwan, who had never seen Xu Yan wearing a scarf, looked down curiously and suddenly saw a small yellow flower on the edge of the tassel of the white scarf.

Obviously, this is a scarf that only a girl would wear.

An inexplicable feeling of sadness suddenly filled Su Wanwan's heart. After asking the question, she felt like a surge of sadness was about to surge into her eyes.

Afraid of sounding her sadness because of her failure, Su Wanwan quickly walked around the back of the car, opened the passenger door and got in.

"What are you thinking about? This is my eldest sister's scarf. When I went out this time, she thought the temperature might drop in a couple of days, so she prepared it for me in advance. You have no idea how red your little face is from the cold."

Pulling open the driver's door, Xu Yan spoke and laughed.
