It was already late when they got back to the educated youth compound. Wen Li took out the steamed buns that Lu Zechuan had made at noon and steamed them. Thinking that Lu Zechuan hadn't eaten either, she also cooked some porridge, made a cucumber salad, and stir-fried some eggs.

A simple dinner was prepared, and by the time we finished eating, it was already dark.

Chen Yan and Qi Jun returned after going out to digest their food.

"Little Pear, you're back!"

"Hmm, why are you guys so late today?"

Chen Yan usually returns before dark after going out to digest her food, but today it's been quite a while since then.

Chen Yan looked at Wen Li with a gossipy expression, "I just saw Liu Zhiqing sneak out. I followed her out of curiosity, and it seems she's dating someone. The guy looks like he's from the village, but I couldn't see his face clearly!"

"Liu Xiu?"

"Yeah, they seemed to be heading in the direction of the shabby little house. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't follow them!"

Chen Yan didn't think that much about it, but Wen Li thought about it more. Liu Xiu had always looked down on the peasants in the village, so his going to the small, dilapidated house with someone at this time might be related to the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

But perhaps she's overthinking it.

"Never mind that. If they really start dating, we'll probably find out in a few days!"

"That's true, but she pulled off something big without making a sound!"

Wen Li was amused by Chen Yan's exaggerated tone, "What you're saying is ridiculous! What if they've just started dating and it's not the right time yet!"

"No way, you're going to a shabby little house right after you started dating?"

Wen Li noticed the way Su Hao and the others were looking at them and quickly reminded them, "Keep your voice down!"

Chen Yan then realized she hadn't been paying attention. "Haha, I forgot!"

Just as the two were whispering to each other, Xu Yuan carried a bucket to the riverbank, and a little while later, Yin Jiao followed him out with a blush on her face.

The two looked at each other, neither knowing what was going on.

Aside from causing quite a bit of trouble when she first went to the countryside, Yin Jiao has been very well-behaved ever since.

"Are you dating?"

Wen Li: "I don't know!"

"Looks like spring really has arrived; everyone's getting restless!"

Wen Li raised her hand and tapped Chen Yan on the head. "It's already summer!"

"Haha, it's only the beginning of summer, the tail end of spring is still here!"

After chatting for a while, the two went back to their rooms to wash up. Wen Li took out the washed clothes and hung them up to dry when she saw Yin Jiao running back with red eyes.

When he met Wen Li's gaze, he glared at her fiercely.

Wenli:......

Wen Li wasn't interested in this at first, but she was glared at for no reason, so she decided to watch the show. She sat at the door for a while and then saw Xu Yuan come back carrying clothes.

Xu Yuan hadn't expected Wen Li to still be inside at this hour. He greeted her with a smile, "Wen, you're still not resting?"

Wen Li looked at the expression on his face. Well, she couldn't tell anything.

It seems Yin Jiao is still in unrequited love!

"I'll be back soon, you should get some rest too!"

As soon as Wen Li finished speaking, a loud bang came from Yin Jiao's room as the door slammed shut.

Wen Li chuckled inwardly; he had quite a temper.

After watching the show, she went back to her room to rest. She waited until ten o'clock, but Lu Zechuan still hadn't returned. She couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep. When she groggily woke up, it was already daylight outside.

When she finished dressing and went out to wash up, Lu Zechuan also came out of the house with a toothbrush. At first glance, you could see that he had dark circles under his eyes, which meant he had stayed up all night.

It seems you really did get back very late last night.

Wenli boiled two eggs in a pot, then made a cup of malted milk powder, which she had for breakfast.

After finishing their meal, everyone took on their tasks and went to work.

On the way, Wen Li saw that Jiang Chen and Pan Yong also had dark circles under their eyes, and Pan Yong had some dirt on his head. He looked weak and listless, and kept yawning as he walked.

Looks like those guys stayed up quite late last night in the back hills!

She glanced at the crowd but didn't see Guo Caixia and Zhang Mazi; they must still be sleeping at home.

Wen Li glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to gossip with Chen Yan and Li Xiangxiang.

Upon arriving at the field, Wen Li put down the water bottle. As soon as she squatted down, she noticed a pair of unfriendly eyes staring straight at her.

When she looked up, she saw Jiang Yue'er standing there. She was wearing a red dress, her face was pale, her hair was loose and not tied up, and she was staring at her with a venomous look.

Wen Li was so frightened that she dared not breathe, her heart pounding wildly. Luckily, it was broad daylight; if it had been night, she would have been scared out of her wits.

"Oh my god, Yue'er, what are you doing standing there? You scared me to death, you know?"

Aunt Wang was right next to Wen Li. She saw Wen Li squatting there blankly, not moving. Then she followed her gaze and saw what was there. Aunt Wang was so scared that she sat down on the ground with a thud.

Wen Li quickly helped Aunt Wang up, and Aunt Wang patted her chest in lingering fear.

"That scared me half to death! I almost thought I'd seen a ghost!"

Wen Li was genuinely worried that she was frightened, so she raised her hand and patted her on the back.

"Are you feeling better?"

Aunt Wang seemed to have calmed down, waved her hand at Wen Li, and then angrily cursed.

"I'm fine! That brat Jiang Yue'er, she's like a ghost, and she calls herself a lucky charm, but I think she's more like a jinx!"

When Wen Li turned around again, Jiang Yue'er was already gone.

I wonder what she was trying to do just now?

It's probably impossible for me to just scare myself, right?

The person had already left, and she couldn't even go up and yell at them. She could only resign herself to her fate and continue working. After finishing her work, she went to the back mountain to identify medicinal herbs.

This time, she deliberately stayed away from the south. She didn't want Jiang Chen and the others to know that she had already discovered their secret. It was better to keep a low profile.

Just as she was squatting on the ground digging for herbs, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her.

As soon as she turned around, she saw more than a dozen brightly colored snakes swimming towards her from the grass.

Wen Li stared at the snakes, her mind went blank for a moment, and then without thinking, she took off running.

Damn it, who on earth wants to harm her?

She ran for several dozen meters until there was no sound behind her before she stopped.

She patted her chest in relief, then looked up and saw a large tree behind where she had just been crouching, and behind that tree was a red hem of clothing.

Wen Li probably knows who is behind her misfortune.

However, those snakes looked scary, but they were all non-venomous. What exactly was Jiang Yue'er planning to do?

She scared herself in the morning and then deliberately scared herself again at noon; she didn't believe Jiang Yue'er was just playing a prank.

But whatever she wants to do, if she doesn't retaliate, Wen Li's name will be written backwards.

She looked around and hid behind a rock with a gap in the middle, from which she could clearly see where Jiang Yue'er was.

After waiting for about ten more minutes, Jiang Yue'er finally emerged from behind the tree.

Although Jiang Yue'er was still wearing that red dress, her hair was tied up, so she didn't look so scary anymore.
