Chapter 43 My boyfriend, if he doesn't love me, who will he love? (2/2)

"come over."

He waved to Ruan Tang, his voice gentle.

Ruan Tang walked over, not understanding why.

The next second, a straw hat with a faint scent of grass gently landed on her head.

Yan Yu bent down, his slender fingers threading through her soft hair, and tied the straw hat strap into a pretty bow at her delicate chin.

His movements were very light, but his fingertips were burning hot. He brushed against her cheek unintentionally, causing a slight shiver to run through her.

"Hands," he said again in a deep voice.

Ruan Tang subconsciously reached out her hand.

Yan Yu then picked up the gloves, took her slender fingers, and carefully helped her put them on, one by one.

Their uninhibited display of affection left several aunties and Lin Xiangnan, who hadn't gone far, staring in disbelief.

Lin Xiangnan clicked his tongue exaggeratedly, winked at her, and gave her a knowing smirk.

Ruan Tang's face turned red from her ears all the way down to her neck from her teasing, as if it were about to burn.

Yan Yu acted as if nothing had happened. After finishing all this, he patted her head with satisfaction and whispered some instructions.

"Take your time, don't rush."

"If you're tired, go rest under the tree for a while, and I'll bring you some wheat to help you."

After saying that, he put on his straw hat and gloves, then turned around, pushed his cart, and followed behind Chen Weidong, who was pushing a wheelbarrow.

Before leaving, he left his spiritual energy on Ruan Tang so that he would know immediately if anything happened to her.

As soon as Yan Yu left, a loud-voiced auntie came over with a big laugh.

She was a robust woman, and she was Zhao Guizhi, the wife of the brigade leader.

"Oh my, Ruan Zhiqing, your boyfriend is really something!"

As she spoke, she nudged Zhao Xiuqin beside her with her elbow, "Xiuqin, look at him, wearing a hat and gloves, he really loves his wife to the core!"

Zhao Xiuqin laughed along, but didn't mince words: "That's right, when we were young, we didn't get this kind of treatment. This Yan educated youth is a caring person."

Standing behind the two, the women's director Chen Fengxia chuckled and said, "When you two were young, you weren't as pretty as that educated youth Ruan."

Ruan Tang felt a little shy from their comments, but nodded generously: "Hehe, my boyfriend, if he doesn't love me, who will he love?"

The three aunts were quite happy to see Ruan Tang being so generous and open; they liked straightforward people like her.

The teasing was all well-intentioned and not too excessive. After a few words, they picked up a large broom and began to diligently sweep the water from the drying ground.

Seeing that the three aunts were no longer paying attention to Ruan Tang, Lin Xiangnan moved closer to her, panting as she pushed the water, and asked curiously, "Ruan Tang, why did you bring a basket with you?"

“Yan Yu said he might not be able to go back at noon, so he brought lunch and water,” Ruan Tang replied softly.

Upon hearing this, not only Lin Xiangnan was stunned, but even Shen Yishan, who was standing next to her, stopped what she was doing.

Neither of them had even considered this possibility.

Zhao Guizhi, with her sharp ears, overheard Ruan Tang and her companion's conversation and immediately chimed in.

"Oh! Yan Zhiqing is so thoughtful!"

"This wheat harvest is nothing like the autumn harvest. There's no communal dining here. When things get busy, we're so busy we don't even have time to rest. We don't have time to go home for meals!"

Chen Fengxia frowned as she looked at Lin Xiangnan and Shen Yishan. The two of them hadn't gotten up for breakfast at all that morning. Although they were staying at her house, they hadn't said they would eat together, so she hadn't bothered with it.

Seeing that the newcomers were stunned, he spoke up, "You two girls didn't bring any food or water? Hurry up, go back and get some while it's not too busy! Otherwise, when the sun gets scorching, you'll suffer from hunger and thirst!" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
