Chapter 43 part 4

After making the payment, the young fan nervously and excitedly said to Yun Feiwu, “Yun Yun, are you recording a variety show? I-I saw you from far away when I was in the car. Can I have an autograph?”

After receiving the autograph, the girl exchanged a few words with Yun Feiwu before reluctantly returning to her car.

Afterward, Yun Feiwu put on a mask and sat down slightly behind Xia Shutong.

Although she didn’t say anything, Xia Shutong could still tell that the foolish cub believed that the fan bought the tea leaves to take care of her, feeling it was unfair. That’s why the cub purposely lowered her own presence.

The two of them continued to sell tea leaves for a while. Although they didn’t meet any more fans, they still sold two hundred to three hundred yuan worth of tea leaves.

By noon, Xia Shutong’s group had earned over eight hundred yuan, enough for their meals for the next few days.

Meanwhile, things were a bit miserable on Ouyang Chao’s side. Due to the language barrier, they could only manage to sell some jujubes. Fortunately, the prices here weren’t high, so the money was enough for them to have a meal for a day.

“Yun Yun, how did you manage to sell the tea leaves? I’ve lost my voice from shouting, and I almost resorted to selling my looks, but no one came to buy,” Ouyang Chao pitifully looked at Yun Feiwu during the return journey.

But in the next moment, she was pressed into Xi Ao’s embrace.

“Uncle Zhou,” Xi Ao ignored Jiang Feng’s struggle in her arms and calmly said, “Does your kindergarten accept other children? I’ll help Jiang Feng enroll.”

Laughter filled the car.

…

In the afternoon, there was a sudden rain in the mountains.

With the sound of spring thunder and the surging of clouds, it didn’t stop for several hours, showing a trend of changing from drizzle to a downpour.

As a result, the afternoon tasks were canceled, and the guests rested in their respective rooms. The production team, however, was not idle and filmed and documented near the village in the rain.

It wasn’t until the next day that the spring rain showed no sign of stopping.

The rain was misty, causing a layer of hazy mist to settle among the cliffs.

Due to the rain, the production team made a last-minute change to today’s task. The guests no longer went to the market to sell things, instead, they wore raincoats to experience “bargaining”.

Even after a whole day of rain, there were still plenty of people at the market.

The small paths at the market were originally potholed, and now they were filled with water. Almost every step splashed water unavoidably.

Upon returning to the courtyard, everyone’s rain boots and pants were covered in mud.

After lunch and changing clothes, they went to the village school in the afternoon.

Due to the heavy rain last night, several roofs of the village school were damaged, and there was a lot of accumulated water inside. The two volunteer teachers couldn’t handle it alone, so they asked the production team to help tidy up.

What surprised everyone was that today was a weekend, and students didn’t need to attend class, but many children voluntarily came over, busily helping to move things and repair the roofs.

There was an indescribable sense of bitterness.

By the evening, the rain finally stopped.

The final meal for the guests in Baxian County was eaten at the village school.

The volunteer teacher dug up the wine hidden in her yard and brought it out for everyone to drink and eat around a table while chatting. Compared to the joyful atmosphere of the previous days, the mood now was unexpectedly heavy.

As the volunteer teacher shared her experiences living in the mountains all these years, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but go to the playground alone and cry for a while.

A few minutes later, Xi Ao caught up and stood silently by her side, gently patting her shoulder.

…

Except for Yun Feiwu, who didn’t drink, almost everyone present was getting a bit drunk.

Yun Feiwu guided the slightly tipsy Xia Shutong all the way back to her room.

“Maomao…” As soon as they entered the room, Xia Shutong embraced Yun Feiwu and whispered softly.

Xia Shutong appeared absent-minded, her eyes foolishly vacant, but carrying an inexplicable burden that made people feel sorry for her.

“Ruan Ruan” Yun Feiwu helped Xia Shutong onto the bed and said softly, “Wait for me, I’ll fetch some water and help you clean up before you sleep.”

“Mhm.”

After Yun Feiwu returned to the room with hot water, Xia Shutong still maintained the same posture, sitting on the bed, her pupils fixed on something in front of her.

“Ruan Ruan?” Yun Feiwu squatted in front of Xia Shutong, looking at her with concern.

Who knows what memories drunk Xia Shutong has recalled this time?

In the previous times when she got drunk, the childish Xia Shutong seemed to instinctively appreciate Yun Feiwu and regarded them as an indispensable presence in her life.

But this time, it was clearly different.

Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong have been through many, many things together.

There are good things and bad things.

Yun Feiwu hoped Xia Shutong could pick up the memories of the past and remember her. But she also didn’t want the soft and fragile Xia Ruan to recall those bad experiences again.

Seeing Xia Shutong’s silence, Yun Feiwu wanted to hug her but suddenly noticed two silent tears rolling down her cheeks.

Xia Shutong raised her hand and cupped Yun Feiwu’s face.

Within her teary apricot eyes, a multitude of mixed and indistinct emotions flickered.

“Maomao.”

“I want to work hard and earn a lot of money. I want to move out of here and buy a big house for you.”

At this moment, Xia Shutong looked bewildered, as if she still believed they were living in the small house in Yun City.

Yun Feiwu softly said, “Hmm.”

Xia Shutong’s gaze became even gentler, but shortly after, it was suddenly replaced by a fierce and resolute light.

“Maomao, we shouldn’t let others bully us anymore. I want to protect you.”

“I will protect you.”

“I don’t want to be so timid and useless anymore, I don’t want to.”

It was a voice filled with despair.

Yun Feiwu’s breath hitched, and then she abruptly stood up and tightly embraced Xia Shutong.
