Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jia exclaimed in surprise, instinctively grabbing Guo Xiaolan and pulling her up. "What era are we living in now? Things aren't like they used to be."

Guo Xiaolan looked embarrassed, her face turning as red as a bright red cloth.

I didn't kowtow or kneel down at all; my legs just gave way.

With the help of Liu Jia's arm, Guo Xiaolan managed to stand up straight.

At this moment, Liu Jia noticed that Guo Xiaolan's expression was off.

"Are you okay?"

"It's alright, but I need to... rest for a while."

Guo Xiaolan tried her best to appear calm, but her voice betrayed her.

His voice trembled; he was extremely nervous.

Guo Xiaolan even found that she couldn't calm down at all.

Although the person had been caught, Guo Xiaolan's mind was filled with the scene from just now.

"Then let's rest by the roadside for a while."

Liu Jia could tell that Guo Xiaolan was probably still scared, which was why she was so nervous.

Arriving at the roadside, Guo Xiaolan found a clean spot and sat down.

Liu Jia looked around and simply sat down next to her.

"It's alright, the bad guy has been caught."

"I know, but that was really scary. Thank you!"

Guo Xiaolan's eyes were dazed, and her words were incoherent.

“Actually, you women should be more careful,” Liu Jia said, then changed the subject, “By the way, when did you start working at the library?”

I remember the last time I saw Guo Xiaolan was at the Guo family home.

Guo Xiaolan reached out and rubbed her forehead.

"I've been there for a week now; it's a job assigned to me by my superiors."

"Originally, it was said that I would come with my sister, but later the organization took into account that my sister had taken the college entrance examination, so they said they would postpone the time again."

"The college entrance exam results haven't come out yet, so Yan'er hasn't come to work."

Guo Xiaolan explained in great detail, and Liu Jia listened and nodded.

In families like Guo Zhiyuan's, the authorities usually arrange jobs for their children.

Working at the library is pretty good too.

Clean and presentable.

Of course, it would have been even better if we hadn't had that fright just now.

How did you end up in the warehouse?

Liu Jia was in a daze when Guo Xiaolan's voice suddenly came.

"Oh, I wanted to borrow a book."

Upon hearing the words "borrow books," Guo Xiaolan shuddered again.

That bad guy also claimed he was going to borrow a book!

Worried that Guo Xiaolan wouldn't believe him, Liu Jia spoke up again to explain.

“I went to the library and saw that the door was locked. A little girl said that the library’s warehouse was unloading books today, so I went to the warehouse.”

"By the way, I wanted to ask, can I borrow books without a library card?"

Guo Xiaolan was taken aback, then shook her head.

"No, library borrowing is only possible with a library card."

"Is the process of getting a library card complicated?"

"It's not troublesome. You only need to bring your household registration booklet. If it's inconvenient to bring your household registration booklet, you can bring a letter of introduction from the village."

When talking about work procedures, Guo Xiaolan's expression finally became more natural.

Seeing that it was getting late, Guo Xiaolan stood up and looked at Liu Jia again.

"Liu Jia, thank you. If it weren't for you today, this would have been a huge disaster."

"No need to thank me, it was just a small favor. There are still many good people in this world. Even if it wasn't me who encountered this situation today, someone else would have done the same."

Liu Jia was telling the truth; he wasn't trying to pat himself on the back at all.

These days, there are jerks.

But they are a minority after all.

Guo Xiaolan's eyes began to redden again, and she murmured an "Mmm".

Are you going home now? How about I take you home?

When Liu Jia asked that question, Guo Xiaolan became a little embarrassed.

Liu Jia saved me and then went to the law enforcement department. Now he wants me to take him back? How can I accept that?

"That's settled then. Don't hesitate any longer. I'll take you to your doorstep and then leave."

Liu Jia didn't say the rest.

You're a young woman, and you seem distracted right now. If something happens to you on the way, it will be a real problem.

I've arrived at my get off work stop, and the streets are gradually getting busier.

Guo Xiaolan glanced at the people on the street and felt a surge of tension again.

I haven't gotten over the trauma from what just happened, and now everyone seems like a bad person to me.

Hearing Liu Jia say this, Guo Xiaolan felt a sense of security.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

The roads in the city were much smoother than those in the village, so even with a large person following behind, Liu Jia didn't feel too much strain.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Jia's bicycle stopped in front of Guo's house.

"We're here, go in."

As soon as Guo Xiaolan got off her bicycle, Liu Jia turned the handlebars around.

"Liu Jia is home. Come in and have some water!"

As soon as Guo Xiaolan finished speaking, Liu Jia's bicycle had already ridden more than three meters away.

"No, you should go back!"

Liu Jia didn't turn around, but simply raised his hand and waved.

I would never come to a place like this again unless I had no other choice.

As Liu Jia's bicycle turned the corner, Guo Xiaolan hurriedly entered the room.

"Xiaolan, why are you only coming back now? We've been waiting for you for ages. Go wash your hands and eat."

Seeing Guo Xiaolan return, Zhang Xiuying hurriedly sat up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen while urging her to hurry up.

Guo Xiaolan stood still.

Zhang Xiuying brought out the soup from the kitchen and looked up to see Guo Xiaolan still in the same position as before, which surprised her.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong? Did work not go well today?"

When work was mentioned, Guo Xiaolan's tense nerves broke down instantly, and she burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Mom, I've run into a bad guy!"

Guo Xiaolan suddenly threw herself into Zhang Xiulan's arms, bursting into tears.

The warehouse scene appeared again, and Guo Xiaolan started trembling uncontrollably once more.

"What happened, Xiaolan? Are you alright? Don't scare your mother!"

Zhang Xiuying, pale-faced, hurriedly embraced Guo Xiaolan.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"sister……"

Guo Jianjun and Guo Xiaoyan opened the door at the same time.

I just saw this scene from the living room.

Guo Xiaolan spoke incoherently and stammered.

"Mom, there's a bad guy..."

"In the library's storage room..."

"It's Liu Jia..."

Guo Xiaolan was already sobbing uncontrollably halfway through her sentence.

Guo Xiaoyan froze on the spot.

Bad guy?

Liu Jia?

Good heavens, what on earth did Liu Jia do!

An ominous premonition gripped Guo Xiaoyan's heart, and she clenched her fists.

"Sis, did Liu Jia bully you? I'm going to find him right now!"

After holding it in for a long time, Guo Xiaoyan finally managed to squeeze out a sentence!

Beside him, Guo Jianjun was so shocked by Guo Xiaolan's words that he couldn't say a word.

What's wrong with Liu Jia?

Should Liu Jia divorce Guo Xiaoyan so she can take revenge on the Guo family?

But Liu Jia... doesn't seem like that kind of person!

Guo Xiaoyan took a deep breath, grabbed her coat from the sofa, and headed out.

Guo Xiaolan turned pale and quickly grabbed Guo Xiaoyan's arm.

"Sister, let go of my hand. This whole thing started because of me, and I have to give you an explanation. Even if it's past midnight, I'm going to drag Liu Jia out of Xili Village!"

Guo Xiaoyan's face turned bright red, and her lips were trembling with anger.

"Yan'er, don't be impulsive, I'll go with you!"

Seeing that Guo Jianjun was about to leave, Guo Xiaolan was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead.

"It wasn't Liu Jia, Liu Jia saved me!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Guo Xiaoyan and Guo Jianjun were both stunned.

"What's going on? Did we run into bad guys? Is it Liu Jia?"

Guo Jianjun rubbed his head and stared at Guo Xiaolan as he asked.

Guo Xiaolan shook her head.

"Liu Jia saved me."

……

As dusk began to fall, Liu Jia still hadn't returned, and Zhang Guilan paced around the house several times.

Under the big tree, Liu Yutian was also looking towards the entrance.

"That child, once he runs away, he becomes wild. What time is it and he still hasn't come back?"

"Dad, don't worry. Sanzi is a grown man. He knows how to handle things. He'll probably be back soon."

Although Liu Jianye was worried, he still spoke up for Liu Jia.

Liu Yutian didn't say anything, and continued to roll cigarettes with the tobacco leaves in the winnowing basket.

"You've already rolled several sticks, why are you still rolling them? Aren't you afraid of coughing from inhaling too much?"

Zhang Guilan looked at Liu Yutian with a reproachful expression.

Liu Jianye scooped up a ladle of cold water, gulped it down, put down the ladle and said, "Father, Mother, you rest for a while, I'll go check the village entrance."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of a bicycle bell rang out from the doorway.

"Jingle Bell……"

The sound was sharp and clear, followed by the sound of a sudden brake.

Liu Jianye grinned, "Dad, Third Son is back!"
