She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

While Director Yuan and Grandma Xia were talking inside, Jiang Wenhua, who was about to leave the textile factory, ran into Fang Yingdi, who was preparing to go out and treat herself to a good meal.

After getting rid of her parents, Fang Yingdi became more generous to herself, spending more on food and clothing. Her face became fuller, no longer with its previous dry complexion, and she stood up straight.

"Xiao Fang, are you off work?" Jiang Wenhua greeted him with a smile.

When Fang Yingdi saw him, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Wenhua's clothes were still with her and she had forgotten to return them. "Comrade Jiang, I'll go get your clothes now. I've washed them. Thank you for that day."

She took off running, and before Jiang Wenhua could even ask for his clothes, he saw a gust of wind from Fang Yingdi lift the corner of his clothes. Watching her run away, Jiang Wenhua didn't even realize that a smile was playing on his lips.

Today, the loading and unloading team leader complained to Director Yuan, and in the afternoon he was called in by the factory manager to be criticized. When he came back, he saw that Jiang Wenhua was acting like nothing had happened, and he was furious. He found fault with everything about him and kept criticizing him.

But he let his emotions cloud his judgment, forgetting that Jiang Wenhua, that bastard, could make someone faint if he really wanted to anger them. After he finished venting, it would be Jiang Wenhua's moment to shine.

The team leader was so angry that his vision blurred and he almost collapsed. Even when his fellow workers couldn't bear to watch and tried to persuade Jiang Wenhua to stop talking, he wouldn't listen.

What a joke! He did nothing wrong, so why should he get scolded for no reason? If he doesn't scold back today, he'll go home and sulk, which will make him sick, and sickness costs money. Money is his lifeline, so letting the team leader scold him for no reason is like the team leader is killing him. If the other party is trying to kill him, how could he possibly let him off the hook?

The team leader was so angry that it took him a while to calm down. By the time he did, Jiang Wenhua had already left work. He fumed for a while longer and secretly vowed to get rid of that bastard.

Jiang Wenhua, carrying the clothes Fang Yingdi had returned to her, walked alongside her. Jiang Wenhua felt a little strange; he would never have walked with a woman before. He had an absolute sense of boundaries with women, except for Lao Xia and his mother.

But today, I don't know what's wrong.

Fang Yingdi felt she couldn't just express her gratitude verbally, so she asked hesitantly and cautiously, "Comrade Jiang, are you planning to go home?"

Jiang Wenhua nodded. "Yes, what's wrong? Are you trying to thank me for lending you your clothes, so you're planning to treat me to dinner?"

Fang Yingdi felt inexplicably embarrassed by these words, especially when she saw Jiang Wenhua's strange expression. She couldn't even bring herself to ask him to dinner openly. But since Jiang Wenhua had already asked, Fang Yingdi thought for a moment and then asked, "Yeah, do you want to go a long way to the mountains to pick some mushrooms to roast and eat, or do you want me to treat you to a state-run restaurant?"

According to normal people's thinking, they would definitely go to a state-run restaurant. Who would want to walk so far to pick mushrooms on the mountain? That would be hard on both their legs and their mouth. Fang Yingdi was just waiting for Jiang Wenhua to suggest going to a state-run restaurant.

As darkness fell, Fang Yingdi squatted by the stream at the foot of the mountain, staring blankly as Jiang Wenhua skillfully began to roast bird eggs and mushrooms. He insisted that she hold a flashlight, otherwise it would be too dark and affect his skill.

The clothes that had just been washed, dried, and returned to him were now draped over Fang Yingdi's shoulders, but Fang Yingdi still sneezed.

"Jiang Wenhua! What are you thinking?" Fang Yingdi was starving, and because of hunger and misunderstanding, she was in a bad mood and called him by his full name.

Jiang Wenhua was engrossed in grilling and didn't even turn his head when he heard this. "It'll be ready soon, it'll be ready soon. The bird eggs will be cooked in no time. I'm really lucky today, I even get to eat bird eggs. Hahaha, there are five in total. You can have three, okay? It'll be quick."

Fang Yingdi: "Why don't we eat at the state-run restaurant? I wanted to invite you to eat there."

Jiang Wenhua pulled the bird eggs out of the fire, and as soon as he touched them, he cried out, "They're too hot! Wait until they cool down a bit before you touch them!"

This bastard doesn't listen to anyone. Just as Fang Yingdi was about to ask more questions, a roasted mushroom wrapped in leaves was shoved into her hand, with a hole pierced through it by a twig.

"You eat first, it smells so good, it must be delicious."

Fang Yingdi stuffed the mushroom into her mouth and began peeling the eggshell fiercely. The bird egg was tiny, and she fed herself one; it tasted even better than the mushroom.

The firelight illuminated Jiang Wenhua's face, and as if possessed, she peeled an egg and held it to Jiang Wenhua's lips.

Jiang Wenhua was clearly stunned for a moment. Fang Yingdi then realized what she had done and tried to pull her hand back, but Jiang Wenhua ate the egg through her hand.

Both of their faces turned red, and the two usually talkative people fell silent, feeling uneasy.

"Uh, I was just... worried you were hungry." As soon as Fang Yingdi said it, she wanted to slap herself. What was she saying? If he was hungry, wouldn't he eat by himself? Why was she peeling eggs for him and feeding him?

Jiang Wenhua chuckled softly, "Thank you, I'm really hungry."

Fang Yingdi wanted to crawl into a hole; she wasn't hungry or cold at all now. "I...maybe I should go back first; it's getting dark."

Jiang Wenhua: "Okay, let's eat as we walk, since it's all grilled anyway."

The two walked one after the other without saying a word.

Fang Yingdi silently ate most of the roasted mushrooms, and only after a long time had passed the fork in the road did she realize that Jiang Wenhua was still following behind her. "Comrade Jiang, your home is over there."

Jiang Wenhua: "I know, I'll take you home. It's not safe for you to walk alone at night."

Fang Yingdi fell silent again. Her heart was pounding, but she didn't know how to deal with these emotions.

Soon, the two reached the corner in front of the textile factory gate. Jiang Wenhua stopped and said, "You go ahead by yourself. I'm leaving."

"Okay." Fang Yingdi felt her voice soften, and after returning to her dormitory, she screamed and jumped into bed.

Qiao Yi was completely confused. "What's wrong? Was the food at the state-run restaurant good tonight? What did you eat?"

Fang Yingdi: "It's delicious, especially delicious. I ate the eggs and mushrooms."

Qiao Yi: "Is it a new dish? I thought you would order meat or fish."

Fang Yingdi blushed deeply. "Don't ask me anymore, have you washed up?"

Qiao Yi: "I'm just about to go."

But as soon as she turned around, she sensed something was wrong. "Xiao Fang, the clothes you're wearing..."

Fang Yingdi jumped up immediately. Damn it, she forgot to return his clothes.
