Quick Transmigration: The Leisurely and Sweet Life of a Support

If it weren't for Chong Li's exceptionally quick replies, he would have been genuinely afraid—afraid that he wouldn't be by Chong Li's side and would be in danger without anyone to protect her, yet also afraid that someone would protect her.

"Sigh..." Shen Luo sighed, carefully folding the letters one by one. From the moment he decided to let her return to the city, he had already considered the worst possible outcome, but he really couldn't bear to part with her... He didn't want the two of them to be separated and become strangers.

Thinking of the promise Chongli made to him, "Only one year left..."

Although he really wanted to be with Chongli, what if he couldn't return to the city a year later? Would he really want her to give up everything to be with him?

Shen Luo lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Even if she didn't come back, he wouldn't blame her. He didn't want to keep her tied down in the countryside, suffering in the cold with him...

“Ali…” His soft murmur lingered in the quiet room.

"Knock knock..." The door was pushed open.

"Shen Luo, are you there?" Yan Kai called out to him from the next room. "Come on, come on, we've all finished work. Let's go to the canteen and discuss things for the New Year. Tomorrow we'll go to town to buy some things and have a good time together."

Shen Luo checked the time and went to the canteen with him. There wasn't much work to do in the fields in winter, so everyone did odd jobs and finished work early. The educated youth were already in the canteen.

They greeted each other and chatted about the Spring Festival. "Last year's dumplings were good. Let's pool our flour and make some this year," Ding Qian said. They couldn't skip making dumplings for the New Year.

Everyone seconded the motion.

"For the other dishes, we'll do the same as last year, each of us contributing a few yuan, and we'll buy them in town tomorrow." The educated youth all agreed that it was a wonderful thing to gather around the fire and chat together in the winter.

Shen Luo wasn't opposed to it, but the thought of others mentioning the heavy plow during the New Year made him sigh inwardly. Before he could finish his internal lament, Guo Ling's incessant mouth had already started talking.

"They were both sent to the countryside, but Chongli must be living a life of luxury in Beijing now."

Ding Qian glanced at Shen Luo, then pouted helplessly. Here we go again…

Everyone's used to it; Guo Ling just can't keep her mouth shut. She's not happy unless she says a few sarcastic remarks every day. Before, she would bring it up every now and then, but ever since Shen Luo stopped paying attention to her, sigh, she's been bringing it up even more.

"Say less," Ding Qian said, annoyed by Guo Ling. She knew Feng Juan was more eloquent than her. She would go to town with Feng Juan tomorrow and see if Guo Ling would still dare to be so sarcastic.

“That’s right! Chongli celebrated the New Year with us last year, and now it’s New Year again. I thought of her and said a few words, what’s wrong with that? Can’t I even say it?” Guo Ling kept talking. “I’m telling the truth. There’s nothing in the capital. During the New Year, we can eat whatever we want. Unlike us, we have nothing. If we want to eat some meat, we can’t even find it in town!”

No one responded.

Guo Ling glared at Ding Qian, "What can you buy in this run-down town? We might not even be able to buy a fish tomorrow. You can't expect to find anything in the capital. Did I bother you by saying that?" What's with all this pretense in front of Shen Luo? Like everyone knows she's been secretly watching him. Humph, what a hypocrite!

Everyone was speechless. Ding Qian ignored her and started collecting money, giving each person two yuan first, promising to return any extra later, and covering any shortfall herself and making up the difference later.

Yan Kai and the others patted Shen Luo on the shoulder, telling him not to worry about it. Shen Luo was already used to it and waved his hand dismissively.

Guo Ling pulled the other female educated youths beside her aside and poured out her grievances, but no one paid any attention; they were all tired of hearing it…

At this time, Chong Li, who was in the capital, put on a beautiful coat and asked for leave in advance.

She bought a train ticket to go see Shen Luo, wanting to give him a surprise. She also brought him a lot of things. Uncle Shen also prepared a lot for him. She carefully packed everything into her spatial storage. She also bought a lot of ingredients and put them in her spatial storage. She had to eat well during the New Year.

Over the past year, the plowing job has been stable, and Uncle Shen has also done a great job of ruining Shen Luo's stepfather's job, which was originally found for him by Shen's mother.

It was a small unit under the Urban and Rural Management Department, with no important duties. Getting rid of him was just a matter of a word from Shen Qingzhu.

Even Zhou Mingyuan's brick factory was significantly affected. Knowing that Shen's father was so helpful, Chong Li felt much more at ease.

She boarded the train happily, carrying only an empty suitcase. The train was really crowded, and people with big bags and small bags couldn't even squeeze into a seat. Since Chongli had arrived early and had little stuff, it wasn't too difficult. It was just that the smell in the train was a bit overwhelming, so she could only cover her head and go to sleep.

The surprise was meant to be unexpected, not given to Shen Luo beforehand.

When Chong Li appeared in front of Shen Luo carrying large and small bags, he looked rather adorable in his stunned state.

Only after confirming that the girl smiling at him was real did Shen Luo rush over.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming!" He took the package from Chongli's hands. "It's so heavy! You actually carried all this stuff all by yourself!"

Shen Luo looked at the red marks left on Chong Li's palm, "You should at least let me pick you up from the train station! How could you dare to go such a long way!"

The people behind Shen Luo were also stunned. They were making dumplings in the cafeteria. They had just bought things in town during the day, but only managed to buy some pork, which was much more expensive than usual.

Two fish were bought, and Ding Qian bought a chicken from a villager. They were busy preparing it.

Since returning to the capital, Chongli has recovered even better. In this rural place, she is more beautiful than a fairy.

"Heavy Plow!!!" Feng Juan saw her from afar, "It really is you!"

She came running over, grabbed the heavy plow's hand, and looked him up and down. "Why are you back?! Ding Qian was killing chickens with Yan Kai and the others in the back!"

Looking at the handsome Shen Luo, she exclaimed, "Oh, you're here to see your boyfriend?! Shen Luo! You didn't tell us you were coming back from Chongli! You kept it a secret!!"

Chongli took Feng Juan's hand, "I just wanted to give you a surprise!"

Feng Juan was overjoyed. "I'll go call Ding Qian over!"

"No, let me help her move the things back first, and then I'll come over." There were indeed too many things and they were too heavy; Shen Luo felt that he was having some difficulty lifting them.

Chong Li took out the ingredients he had prepared and handed them to Feng Juan, "Juanzi, I brought you some vegetables. You can take them and tell Ding Qian how to prepare them. It's enough to eat for several days. We'll come over after we put the food away."

"Okay, hurry up!" Feng Juan took several bags of ingredients. She really didn't expect Chong Li to come back. Because of the quota for returning to the hometown, many educated youths were laughing at Shen Luo behind his back, saying that he had been deceived and that Chong Li was very clever at such a young age and had fooled him.
