Chapter 201 Embrace

Then, he slowly released his grip on Shen Xiaoxiao's hand, opened his arms, and forcefully embraced the person in front of him.

Shen Xiaoxiao felt his body trembling, and hugged him with her hands at her sides.

“I was terrified too!” Dai Xingyun’s tall frame trembled slightly, his voice filled with undisguised fear and unease. “I was afraid that she would really scheme against me, and then I probably wouldn’t be able to stand by your side anymore.”

Daixingyun has always maintained a tenacious attitude no matter what difficulties and obstacles it faces.

However, at this very moment, as if all his strength had been drained, he slowly dropped his thick disguise, revealing the softest and most vulnerable side hidden deep within his heart to Shen Xiaoxiao without reservation.

When Shen Xiaoxiao heard Dai Xingyun's words, her heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously reached out her slender yet gentle hands and carefully placed them on Dai Xingyun's broad and sturdy back, patting it gently and rhythmically, one pat after another.

Her clear and melodious voice rang out: "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright! I'm here with you."

Shen Xiaoxiao's gaze was gentle on Dai Xingyun, and the concern and tenderness in her eyes seemed to have a magical power, enough to melt away all the worries and anxieties that had been accumulating in Dai Xingyun's heart for a long time.

Feeling the care and comfort from Shen Xiaoxiao, Dai Xingyun slowly raised his head and gazed at her with his deep, ocean-like eyes.

In that instant, a faint smile flashed across his eyes like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, his previously stiff arms suddenly tightened, tightly embracing Shen Xiaoxiao's petite and delicate body, and gently pressed his cheek against her hair, murmuring, "Wife, let me hold you like this!"

Upon hearing Dai Xingyun's affectionate address, Shen Xiaoxiao's pretty face instantly flushed with a charming blush.

She gave Dai Xingyun a playful glare, her lips slightly pouting as she muttered in dissatisfaction, "Hmph, who's your wife? Don't call me that!"

However, although she complained like that, she didn't use any force to push Dai Xingyun away. Instead, she quietly nestled in his broad and warm embrace, enjoying this rare moment of warmth and the tranquility that belonged only to the two of them.

"Alright, you should go back now. It's getting late, I need to go inside." Shen Xiaoxiao gently pushed Dai Xingyun, who was standing beside her, with her small hand and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun slowly released the person in his arms, his eyes filled with reluctance and longing, but he still smiled and replied, "Yes! Good night, sweet dreams."

After saying that, he stood quietly in place, watching Shen Xiaoxiao turn and walk towards the door.

Shen Xiaoxiao walked lightly to the door, reached out and grasped the doorknob, and with a little push, the door slowly opened.

After she stepped into the house, she turned around and was about to close the door when she found Dai Xingyun still standing there quietly, gazing at her with gentle, watery eyes.

Seeing this, a sweet warmth welled up in Shen Xiaoxiao's heart.

She raised her hand and waved gently at Dai Xingyun, signaling him to leave quickly.

Then, she slowly closed the door, making a soft "click" sound.

Dai Xingyun watched Shen Xiaoxiao's figure disappear behind the door for a long time before reluctantly turning around and walking towards the educated youth compound.

Throughout the journey, the scene of his separation from Shen Xiao kept replaying in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

When Dangdai Xingyun returned to the educated youth compound, Xiahou Jie, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came to greet him.

Dai Xingyun asked calmly, "Where are they? What did you do with them?"

Xiahou Jie said in a deep voice, "Hasn't Jiang Long always harbored ill intentions towards Little Sister and always wanted to scheme against her? Why not just pair them up?"

After listening to the conversation, Dai Xing shrugged dismissively and casually said, "Sure, as long as it solves the problem, it's fine."

"Now that everything is settled, let's get some rest. We'll have them all leave this village first thing tomorrow morning to prevent any further trouble."

Xiahou Jie nodded in agreement: "Okay!" After saying that, the two went back to their rooms to rest, looking forward to the arrival of a new day.

Before dawn broke the next day, with the first rays of sunlight filtering through the clouds, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from the educated youth compound, instantly waking everyone from their deep sleep.

Because the effects of the medication taken the previous night had only just worn off, everyone felt dizzy, as if their heads were stuffed with cotton, and their thinking became somewhat sluggish.

However, the terrified screams acted like an alarm bell, constantly stimulating everyone's nerves and driving them to overcome their physical discomfort and stagger towards the direction from which the sound came.

When people finally arrived at the scene, the scene before them left everyone speechless—Jiang Long was frantically putting on his clothes, while Lin Huanhuan, standing beside him, was also in a panic, hurriedly tidying up her own clothes.

At this moment, Xiahou Jie and Dai Xingyun had already woken up. After hearing the sudden shouts, they slowly walked over with the crowd.

In the courtyard, besides the educated youth, some villagers who lived nearby also came to join in the fun after hearing the commotion.

It turned out that Xiahou Jie had already opened the courtyard gate wide early in the morning, providing convenience for these curious villagers.

In her panic, Lin Huanhuan looked around and finally her gaze landed on Dai Xingyun.

At that moment, a fierce rage ignited in her eyes, filled with resentment, and she murmured, "Why?"

However, Dai Xingyun remained indifferent to Lin Huanhuan's questioning, not even sparing her a glance.

Xiahou Jie stood to the side, his eyes flickering slightly before he spoke thoughtfully, "Could it be... you two are dating?"

"Was it because Jiang Zhiqing learned that Lin Zhiqing was about to go to Shijia Village that the two of them couldn't wait to get together?"

"Shut up!" Lin Huanhuan cried out in despair!

"Aren't you two a couple? Are you having an affair? That's a crime punishable by shaving your head in a shaved half," Xiahou Jie exclaimed dramatically.

Lin Huanhuan's crying stopped in fright, and she dared not cry anymore.

Jiang Long's face was gloomy. He was about to say something when the village chief and the brigade leader rushed over in a hurry after hearing that something had happened.
