Crossing 1992: Contracting a barren mountain and becoming a huge demolition household

All she could do now was to stand by and watch everything unfold as it was.

This principle of non-interference also applies to my cousin.

At least that's what Ye Ke thought before he met his future cousin-in-law.

"Mom, this is my colleague Yan Zhou."

After Ye Ke and his friends chose a room, they did not go back to their homes after returning to Ancheng. Instead, they were invited by their aunt to have dinner at her house. As soon as they entered, they saw Ye Anan sitting on the sofa.

There was also a man with delicate features sitting next to him.

Ye Anan pointed at the man and introduced him, "I accidentally sprained my ankle, and he gave me a ride back."

Yan Zhou saw a series of people coming in and stood up in a panic, taking the blame on himself, "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I caused An An to sprain her ankle."

The aunt then noticed her daughter's right leg, which was stretched straight on the sofa. She asked anxiously, her tone unclear whether it was worry or curiosity. "Hey! What happened?"

Ye Anan had a bitter face and complained sadly.

She was also unlucky. She accidentally stepped on empty air when going down the stairs and ended up tearing her ligament. Now she doesn't have to go to work and can just rest at home.

She had originally thought of calling home and asking her father to pick her up, but Yan Zhou insisted that it was because of him that Ye Anan accidentally stepped on air, and he had to take responsibility, so he insisted on sending her back.

Ye Anan was a little confused? Huh? She didn't need to blame herself so much, though it was true that she missed a step because Yan Zhou suddenly called out to her and she turned around.

This made Ye Anan feel a little embarrassed. After all, Yan Zhou didn't have a car, so they had to take a taxi back this time.

On the contrary, my aunt was content with the fact that Yan Zhou sent Ye Anan back home. Just as Ye Anan described, Yan Zhou did have to bear a small part of the responsibility.

But one thing is for sure, since he is a good person, she naturally has to be warm and polite to him.

So my aunt invited Yan Zhou to stay for dinner. Since there were so many people today, they had to cook so many dishes anyway, so it was just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks.

Yan Zhou politely declined, but was defeated by his aunt and was eventually forced to stay.

At first, everyone thought that Yan Zhou was simply responsible or eager to help others.

Later, when I saw Yan Zhou's straightforward performance at the dinner table, I suddenly understood everything.

Yan Zhou was incredibly attentive to Ye Anan at the dinner table. Sometimes, worried that Ye Anan wouldn't be able to pick up food easily, he'd stand up and help her. Sometimes, seeing Ye Anan's cup was empty, he'd offer to pour her some tea or water. He even offered her some water when he saw her put down her chopsticks.

This made the Ye family members sitting at the same table seem more like outsiders.

Ye Anan faced the teasing gazes of her family, her face flushed, but she was not shy.

I wouldn't say I'm angry, just a little embarrassed.

She always knew that Yan Zhou was pursuing her, and he often showed concern for her in the company.

But she didn't accept it, mainly because she was a bit obsessed with looks. Her family members, especially her uncle, were gentle and handsome. She was used to seeing such faces since she was a child, so she naturally didn't like Yan Zhou, who only had regular features.

Although she rejected him many times, Yan Zhou was not discouraged. Instead, he became more and more courageous.

Ye Anan couldn't figure out how she felt about Yan Zhou now. She couldn't say that she liked him, but she also didn't hate him either.

But her initial tough attitude did gradually soften, and she began to appreciate his other good qualities.

Such as careful, considerate, patient...

But it’s not the sudden enthusiasm like now!

Yan Zhou's enthusiastic care not only failed to move Ye Anan, but instead made her feel a little disgusted.

Thinking that he was her guest and had extended a helping hand to her today, Ye Anan suppressed the discomfort in her heart and politely declined the tissue he offered with a smile: "No, I have some here too."

Are you kidding me? This is her home! You're making her feel like a guest!

Yan Zhou was so quick when he was picking up the dishes and pouring water that by the time Ye Anan realized what was happening, she had already finished, so she didn't have time to refuse. Fortunately, he handed her the paper, and she finally found a way out.

Yan Zhou's previous actions were too smooth, which made him a little surprised by Ye Anan's rejection. The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

My aunt laughed and said, "That's right! You're just being polite, kid. Come on, eat more."

She only invited Yan Zhou but did not blame Ye Anan. Her daughter knew that Ye Anan did not like Yan Zhou and would not be too close to him. So Yan Zhou's current behavior was a little inappropriate.

Moreover.

The dish Yan Zhou picked up was the fatty meat that Ye Anan hated the most.

Based on this alone, she could conclude that Yan Zhou was only being attentive on the surface.

But she always has to save some face for the guests.

After sending Yan Zhou away, everyone watched Ye Anan's trial in three courts. The scene was quite similar to when they scolded Ye Anping.

Ye Wenhui spoke first, and said worriedly: "An An? What do you think of this boy?"

She didn't know all the children in the family, but she knew their general preferences, and she naturally noticed the details that her sister-in-law noticed.

Yan Zhou was a considerate person on the surface, but she looked down on him anyway.

Ye Anan scratched her head. "I rejected him a long time ago, but he always comes to me. He used to be quite sensible, but who knew today..."

Ye Wenhui patted her chest in relief.

"Fortunately, you're not as stupid as your brother."

Ye Anping, who was working hard on duty at the hospital, sneezed for no apparent reason.

Who is teasing me behind my back?

Ye Anan laughed sarcastically, "How could that be possible? Idiots like my brother are a rare species."

My aunt agreed and even nodded.

But he was still a little worried, so he advised: "You should be smarter at work in the future. If you don't like something, just say it directly, so that you don't get pushed around."

You can't sacrifice yourself for the sake of other people's face, right?

Ye Anan looked as if she had learned something and listened attentively.

Ye Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was so scared that he almost thought that his cousin's husband was going to be replaced.
