"Mm."
Gu Yuan responded calmly.
She looked up at Sheng Yi and said, "Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine. If there were sothing wrong, I wouldn’t be sitting here chatting and laughing with you."
"..."
Sheng Yi was shocked, but more than that, she felt hurt and guilty. She knew nothing and couldn’t be by Yuanyuan’s side right away.
Sheng Yi sat back down, took a sip of tea to calm herself: "You’re always like this, unfazed by anything, even if you went through a life-and-death crisis last night. You can bring it up now without changing your expression. You’re just..."
Before finishing, Sheng Yi abruptly stopped her chatter.
Gu Yuan asked what was wrong. Sheng Yi stood up to block her, speaking urgently, "Yuanyuan, you need to hide, that jerk is here."
"Jerk?" Gu Yuan didn’t react imdiately.
Sheng Yi said, "Chi Yu."
Then continued, "Since you know I ca to Ancient Water Village, you must know Chi Yu is here too."
Hearing that na, Gu Yuan suddenly felt relieved, "I know, but I..."
didn’t care.
However, before she could finish, Sheng Yi pulled her up, pushing her towards the barn, saying as she pushed, "We can’t let Chi Yu see you here. If he knows you’re here, he’ll definitely disturb your peace. I don’t want you to feel heartbroken seeing him."
"...I wouldn’t."
Sheng Yi swiftly pushed Gu Yuan into the room.
Seeing Dao An still focused on repairing the lawnmower, Sheng Yi put her hand on her forehead: "Ugh, I forgot about you."
Chi Yu knows Dao An well. If he saw Dao An, wouldn’t it be obvious that Yuanyuan is here?!
She rushed over, intending to drag Dao An up, but Chi Yu had already arrived.
Chi Yu walked over quickly, with Li Yan struggling to keep up, calling out as she ran, "Brother Yu, wait for , I can’t run anymore."
Chi Yu ignored Li Yan as if she didn’t exist.
Sothing inside him seed to be guiding him, a thought telling him to go! Go quickly!
As he got closer, Chi Yu saw Sheng Yi.
Sheng Yi picked a mango tree leaf within reach, trying hard to look calm as she fanned herself with the leaf: "It’s really hot today, might be another stormy night."
She then looked as if she had just noticed Chi Yu: "The restroom is in the front building, not here. This is the barn."
"I know it’s the barn." Chi Yu’s voice was cold as he glanced around, finally resting his eyes on the man squatting on the ground fixing the lawnmower.
Without hesitation, Chi Yu walked toward that man.
Seeing Chi Yu move toward Dao An, Sheng Yi’s heart leapt to her throat, and she rushed over to block Chi Yu’s way, repeating herself: "The restroom is in the front building, not here."
Chi Yu’s clear eyes glared at Sheng Yi: "I’m not looking for the restroom."
Sheng Yi put on a stern face: "Then who are you looking for?"
"I’m looking for you." Chi Yu’s sharp and cold eyes fixed on Sheng Yi.
Sheng Yi’s montum imdiately faltered. She couldn’t say ’You’re too overbearing, I don’t like you,’ and could only say, "Tell what you need, I’m all ears."
"Did you co here to see Yuanyuan?"
"..."
Sheng Yi thought he had definitely sensed sothing, but she didn’t expect him to be so perceptive that it stunned her.
Could he already have seen Yuanyuan?
Impossible!
If he had seen Yuanyuan, he would have stord into the barn directly, not circled around here with her!
This is psychological warfare.
