When Dai Ning saw Du Tian, she knew that her guess was correct.
The eldest lady was not polite at all. She sat between the two of them. She chewed some candy and said to Zhao Yu, "It's not fun for me to be at home."
When she wasn't doing anything naughty, she looked pleasant to the eye, and Zhao Yu had a good temper towards her.
"Didn't Mr. Qian take you out to play?"
Dai Ning said: "He is a rigid old man and very boring. I want to play with you."
The air was silent for a few seconds. Zhao Yu and Du Tian vaguely felt that this sentence should be translated as "I want to play with you."
Du Tian said politely, "Miss Ji, I'm asking you some questions about English. You're sitting on my book, can you please move aside?"
Dai Ning took out her book and flipped through it: "Why are you asking Zhao Yu? He is so stupid, and it is obvious that he has only studied for two years. Why don't you ask me?"
Zhao Yu glanced at Dai Ning.
Dai Ning flattered herself crazily: "I know everything. Come here and I'll teach you."
Du Tian knew everything, but Zhao Yu was watching. In order to maintain the image of a gentle girl who loves to study, she asked softly, "Ms. Ji, how do you translate this question?"
Dai Ning took a look and thought seriously for two seconds.
She said she was very capable, and Zhao Yu and Du Tian believed her. After all, the eldest daughter grew up in a big city and received education from top teachers.
So when Dai Ning was about to answer, even Zhao Yu couldn't help but look at her.
Dai Ning blinked and took out a cell phone from her bag.
She pointed quickly, turned on the scanning function, and scanned Du Tian's English book. Soon, the phone's built-in dictionary translated the English into words.
Dai Ning handed the phone to Du Tian: "Am I awesome?"
Du Tian: …
Zhao Yu: …
Dai Ning was very generous. She smiled and said, "Since you like studying so much, I'll give you my phone. It's super convenient. Just scan it and you can look up words and listen to listening comprehension. It's a one-stop service."
Du Tian gritted his teeth and said, "No merit, no reward. Your phone is so expensive, I'm afraid it will break."
She doesn't want to learn English at all!
Dai Ning is rich and powerful: "It's just a mobile phone. If I want, I can get a hundred tomorrow. Sit further away, or your saliva will spray on my face when you talk."
Du Tian almost couldn't keep her smile.
The eldest lady wiped her face in dissatisfaction and turned to look at Zhao Yu.
"Wipe it clean for me."
Zhao Yu looked at the eldest lady's rosy face, which showed nothing on it, and he knew that she was up to something again.
Zhao Yu ignored Dai Ning and turned to Du Tian and said, "Sister Du Tian, the eldest lady is usually a little spoiled, don't bother with her."
Du Tian smiled reluctantly: "No."
Having said that, the conversation could not go on any further. Du Tian suppressed the feeling of depression in his heart and stood up: "I will go back to see Gu Zi, Brother Zhao Yu, thank you."
She stood up and left. Dai Ning waved at her. Du Tian took a deep breath and didn't look back.
Seeing Du Tian walking away, Dai Ning turned to look at Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu was also looking at her.
"You hate Du Tian."
It's not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
Dai Ning did not deny it, but discussed it with him seriously: "Do you hate her with me?"
Zhao Yu looked at her for a long while, and uttered a few words from his thin lips: "You are making trouble for no reason."
In terms of the degree of being annoying, who can compare to the eldest lady? Zhao Yu didn't know Du Tian, but as far as he could see, Du Tian hadn't done anything to annoy others, and was actually kind to others.
If someone thinks more, they might guess that since the eldest lady can't bear to see him and Du Tian together, does she have feelings for Zhao Yu
But Zhao Yu didn't think so. As soon as Du Tian left, Dai Ning immediately stood ten feet away from him.
Zhao Yu could guess the reason. He was guarding the threshing ground during the day. The sunlight was good for drying the grain, but it was really hot. Even if he was a clean man, he couldn't avoid sweating.
It would be strange if the young lady was interested in him given her disdainful expression.
Zhao Yu said to her, "Go back before it gets dark."
Daning held her chin and shook her head.
If Du Tian doesn't leave, she can't leave either. Du Tian is like an indestructible cockroach. If she leaves, she will definitely stick to him.
Zhao Yu: "If you don't go back by yourself, I won't be able to take you there later."
Dai Ning said: "I won't go back. I want to stay here and guard the grain."
Zhao Yu knew that she was eccentric and would not listen to him, so he didn't waste his breath on her.
If it weren't for the young lady's interference, he would have eaten by now. Zhao Yu took out the dry biscuits left over from lunch from the tent and ate them with cold water.
The pancake was baked by my younger brother Zhao Ping. It was dry, hard and tasteless.
Zhao Yu lowered his eyes, expressionless.
He has been living this kind of hard life since he was a child, and now he has gotten used to it. He no longer finds it hard and is content with it.
The girl next to him stared at him without blinking.
Dai Ning had already eaten the dinner sent by Uncle Qian before coming to the grain field. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and she had never had a hard life until her death in her previous life. Even though she was tormented in her heart, she was the eldest daughter of the Ji family after all, and she had never lacked food and clothing.
Dai Ning couldn't understand, what was the meaning of living like Zhao Yu who was suffering so much? With so many burdens around him, his life seemed to be dark.
Even if he will be amazing in the future, he doesn't know it now, so there is no hope.
If the eldest daughter were to live this kind of life, a person like her who has no fighting spirit would choose to die peacefully.
The sun went down, and few people in the village were willing to light lamps at night, so the field was pitch black. Fortunately, there was moonlight and a sky full of stars.
There were some faint chirping sounds of insects and frogs in the distance.
Mosquitoes were circling around Dai Ning, so she had no choice but to move to Zhao Yu and complain to him.
"Zhao Yu, a mosquito is biting me."
Zhao Yu said: "I'll give you the flashlight, you can go back by yourself."
Dai Ning shook her head: "No, no."
Zhao Yu was unable to drive away the mosquitoes for her, and the young lady fought the battle on her own and was exhausted.
Dai Ning rubbed her eyes: "I want to sleep."
It’s strange that people in cities tend to become night owls, but the small village is isolated from the world and because there is no signal, Dai Ning has to adjust her schedule and go to bed early.
At this time of day, she would normally be lying comfortably on the bed in the "air-conditioned room".
The eldest lady's sleepy voice was soft, and Zhao Yu pursed his lips: "If you don't mind, go to sleep in the tent."
Dai Ning said, “Oh.”
If it were Du Tian, he would definitely ask with concern and care, what would you do then
But Dai Ning didn't ask. When Zhao Yu said that, she immediately went to sleep happily. She was also careful and said, "You are not allowed to come close to me."
Zhao Yu lowered his eyes, accustomed to her stingy and selfish character, and squeezed out a "hmm" sound through his nose.
Daning went into his tent.
Before today, the young lady had never slept in a tent like this that cost only a few dollars. She climbed in, feeling a little dazed.
With the help of moonlight, she could see clearly what was in the tent: a tattered cotton quilt for cushioning and a thin blanket for covering.
There was no pillow, only a palm-leaf fan, a book, a kettle, and a flashlight.
Dai Ning thought, what a poor bastard!
She suppressed her disgust and tried to lie down on the cotton wool.
Through the tattered quilt, she could feel the uneven shape of the muddy ground. Daning was so delicate that she took a breath in discomfort.
Zhao Yu sat outside, listening to the cicadas in the summer night, planning to spend the night like that.
He is young and energetic, so it’s okay for him to go without sleep for a few nights.
The girl who occupied his resting place behind him poked her head out and said, "Zhao Yu!"
Zhao Yu asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Come here quickly."
Zhao Yu walked over and squatted. In the moonlight, her hair was spread out, and her seaweed-like curls were very cute.
It’s a pity that he started to complain about this and that again.
"The ground is so hard, I'm not comfortable."
Zhao Yu said: "This is the only condition. You can see that everyone sleeps like this."
"But I'm not a big shot." Dai Ning emphasized, "I don't want to sleep like this, you have to find a way for me."
Zhao Yu was really overwhelmed.
"You have to come here yourself. No matter how capable I am, I can't turn a high bed into a soft pillow. There's nothing I can do. If you want to sleep, just be quiet. If you don't want to sleep, go back."
When she heard this, her cheeks puffed up like a little puffer fish.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile, but he still didn't let go. The eldest lady had many problems, a princess syndrome, and she was spoiled by it.
Besides, he really had no choice.
Zhao Yu still couldn't figure out why the eldest daughter, the apple of a wealthy family's eye, would come to such a remote village to play.
Their village is at least forty years behind the rest of the country. The mountains block the way out, and there is only a desperate moon in the village.
Zhao Yu refused to think of a solution, so Dai Ning thought for herself.
She folded the torn cotton wool into two layers in the moonlight, covered it with a thin blanket, and then threw it all into Zhao Yu's arms.
She happily lay down on the freshly baked "human cushion".
Ah... much more comfortable.
Zhao Yu was holding a quilt and a blanket in his arms, with a person on top. He looked at her in silence for a long while, then said, "Ji Daining."
She responded crisply: "Don't talk, I'm almost asleep."
A vein on Zhao Yu's forehead jumped. Do you have any shame
The eldest lady adjusted herself into a comfortable posture, then remembered something and took the palm-leaf fan and stuffed it into his hand.
"I'm hot, can you fan me?"
Zhao Yu no longer wanted to talk.
It was the middle of summer and he had two quilts on his body.
Thinking of what the eldest lady had said before, that she only treated him as an object, Zhao Yu had the urge to throw her out.
Daning in his arms had a delicate half-white face, with dark brown hair scattered in his arms.
Two strands fell into his palm. Zhao Yu touched them accidentally and found that they felt very good, curly and furry, like small animals.
There were two dark blue ribbon knots in her hair. When she didn't speak, she was as cute and beautiful as a little mermaid from the sea.
The moonlight was bright, and when he came to his senses, he found that the young lady was breathing evenly.
I don’t know if he looked at her for too long or she fell asleep too quickly.
Daning was used to being pampered, and even when she was asleep, she felt uncomfortable in her dreams. She moved around on the blanket in his arms and unconsciously rubbed her face with the back of her hand.
When Zhao Yu saw a mosquito landing on her face, he picked up the palm-leaf fan and fanned the mosquito away almost reflexively.
She felt comfortable and her sleeping face became obedient again.
Zhao Yu couldn't believe what he had just done. Was he tortured into a slave by Ji Daining
Zhao Yu threw away the palm-leaf fan and planned to push her away.
The moonlight gently fell on her fishtail skirt. She didn't know what she was dreaming about. She curled up the corners of her lips and smiled sweetly.
Zhao Yu's hand that was pushing her arm paused, and finally he looked absentmindedly at the ribbon knot in her hair.
Forget it, why bother with a girl
He was sweating all over, and finally picked up the palm-leaf fan and fanned her from time to time.
Dai Ning fell asleep and didn't know it, but Zhao Yu remembered it.
That night the Big Dipper was particularly bright, the stars were flowing, and the surroundings were peaceful.
He looked down at Ji Daining, eager for her to leave as soon as possible. His peaceful life was broken by her arrival, and he didn't like this change.
