Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Ning Yao was about to take Xu Xue away, but unexpectedly Xu Xue grabbed Chen Feng's hand tightly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, as if she would be swallowed by the darkness if she let go.

She unconsciously leaned towards Chen Feng, as if only by his side could she find a sense of security.

Seeing this, Ning Yao looked at Chen Feng helplessly.

Chen Feng shrugged, showing a helpless expression, and said, "I'll take her to change."

Ning Yao took out two sets of clean clothes from the cabinet and handed them to Chen Feng. She pouted and warned him, "Don't look at things you shouldn't look at!"

Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "Who do you take me for? Don't worry, I'm not the type to take advantage of others in distress."

After entering the house, Chen Feng gently placed the clothes on the table and said softly to Xu Xue, "You change your clothes first. I'll go out and wait."

Just as he took a step, Xu Xue suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, her voice trembling: "Don't go out, I'm scared."

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "But I'm here, it might be inconvenient for you."

Xu Xue shook her head, her eyes firm but shy: "I don't care, just turn your face away."

Chen Feng sighed helplessly and had to agree: "Okay, okay, I'll stay here and not look at you."

After saying that, he slowly walked to the door, with his back to Xu Xue and facing the door, trying his best not to imagine what was about to happen.

When Xu Xue saw that Chen Feng really had his back to her, she felt mixed emotions.

As she was undressing her wet clothes, her heart was in turmoil, wondering if Chen Feng would suddenly turn around.

She wondered to herself, was she crazy?

As the daughter of a high-ranking official, she had never imagined that there would be a day when she would have a man stay in the house and accompany her to change clothes.

But at the same time, she had a vague hope that Chen Feng would not be able to help but turn around.

Xu Xue's hands trembled slightly as she took off her wet clothes one by one. Her heart beat faster with each piece she took off.

She wiped her body gently with a towel, trying not to make any sound, but even so, the subtle rustling sound was still particularly clear in the silent room.

She carefully picked up the dry clothes Chen Feng gave her and put them on one by one. With each piece she put on, her heart felt a little more at ease, but at the same time she felt a little more lost - Chen Feng never turned around.

Finally, when Xu Xue buttoned the last button, she breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of disappointment inexplicably welled up in her heart.

What she didn't know was that during the time she was changing clothes, Chen Feng was also experiencing a struggle between his conscience and his desires.

He had his back to Xu Xue, the subtle sound kept echoing in his ears. His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, itchy and unbearable.

For a moment, he really wanted to turn around and take a look, but when he thought of Ning Yao's words, he forced himself to hold back.

It was not until Xu Xue whispered, "Chen Feng, I'm done changing." Chen Feng turned around and saw Xu Xue wearing dry clothes, her face slightly flushed, and her eyes flashing with gratitude and shyness.

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Feeling better?"

Xu Xue nodded and looked at him gratefully: "Much better, thank you. Oh, and thank you Ning Yao too."

As Xu Xue changed her clothes and walked out of the room with Chen Feng, Ning Yao's eyes immediately locked on them.

Xu Xue's cheeks were flushed with shyness. In contrast, Chen Feng looked calm, which made her feel confused.

Just now, she was waiting outside the door, and it was really uncomfortable.

On the one hand, she felt that she should trust Chen Feng; but on the other hand, her thoughts drifted away involuntarily, and all kinds of thoughts swirled in her mind, making her feel uneasy.

"Why did it take so long?" Ning Yao couldn't help but ask.

Chen Feng immediately responded: "I don't know either. I was facing the door the whole time and even counted the wood grain on it several times."

Ning Yao couldn't help but chuckle when these words came out. His eyes calmed down. Then, he quickly glanced at Chen Feng and said, "Maybe my clothes don't fit me well. You don't know how to help me."

Chen Feng was stunned when he heard this. "What? I want to help?"

You are a woman who says one thing and means another. Why didn’t you say it earlier?

Xu Xue next to her was so embarrassed that her face turned even redder.

She was actually quite scared. Looking back now, she felt that it was really bold of her to ask Chen Feng to stay in the room to help her change clothes on impulse.

Now, even if she was asked to do it again, she couldn't muster up the courage.

Just then, the sound of cars was heard outside, and it sounded like there was not just one, but several.

Chen Feng hurried out to greet him and found that it was indeed Xu Xue's father, Director Xu.

As Director Xu walked in, he saw his daughter standing there. He said worriedly and angrily, "How could you be so willful? A girl like you has run away from home?"

Chen Feng hurried forward to greet Director Xu and asked what had happened.

Director Xu sighed and explained, "Xiaoxue came here once before. She thought it was so much fun and couldn't get over it. She's been wanting to come climb the mountain with you again. I was busy with work and didn't agree. So, she actually ran away with a few friends and left a letter at home saying six friends were coming to climb the mountain together. I was so worried when I saw it, and it was raining today..."

After listening to Director Xu's narration, Chen Feng roughly understood what had happened.

Xu Xue came to see him this time, and judging from Director Xu's attitude, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with himself.

It's understandable if you think about it. Last time he saved Xu Xue's life, and Director Xu also helped them obtain production licenses for medicines and health products, so they owed each other nothing.

But Director Xu naturally felt uncomfortable because his beloved daughter kept running here.

Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly changed the subject: "Director Xu, you said Xu Xue went hiking with six friends, but when I met her in the mountains, how come she was alone?"

Director Xu said, "The other five people have already left the mountain, and she's the only one missing. I'm not worried. Hey, Xiao Chen, you said you met Xiaoxue in the mountains?"

Chen Feng quickly told the whole story about how he went to the mountains to collect herbs at night and happened to see Xu Xue trapped in a tree by a snake.

Upon hearing this, Director Xu tightly grasped Chen Feng's hand and said, "Thank you so much, Xiao Chen. This is the second time you've saved Xiao Xue. Anyway, you have to come to our house for a meal so that our family can thank you properly."

Chen Feng wanted to decline, but when he heard Director Xu's words, which were polite and distant in their gratitude, he immediately understood something.

If I agree to this meal, then the matter will be over and we will go our separate ways from now on. At most, we will be just acquaintances with good relations.

But if I don't agree, it will seem like I'm asking for something in return.

Chen Feng thought about it and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will go and try the cooking skills of Director Xu's family."

When Xu Xue heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.

Director Xu also nodded with satisfaction.
