“Ling’er, Ling’er?” Min Nan called softly once again, his tone tinged with a careful sweetness.
Ye Ling didn’t wake up, but she also didn’t appear to be having any more nightmares. She simply lay there with her eyes closed.
After watching for a while, Min Nan, feeling somewhat reluctant, stood up and carried the basin as he left the room.
Ye Ling had collapsed due to an all-nighter, excessive physical exertion, and emotional stress. After a good night’s sleep, she soon woke up.
Upon getting out of bed, Ye Ling caught a whiff of the rich aroma of food. She headed to the kitchen, where Aunt Hua was busy chopping white radishes.
Aunt Hua’s eyes brightened when she saw Ye Ling and immediately said, “Ling
Ling, you’re awake? I’ve cooked shrimp congee for you. Come and have some.”
Ye Ling hadn’t eaten much the entire previous night, and by now, she was starving. She didn’t hesitate to serve herself a generous bowl of shrimp congee, along with the peanuts Aunt Hua had fried and a plate of dried small fish, which she savored.
Not long after finishing her meal, Yu Huan came over.
After descending the mountain, Yu Huan saw that Ye Ling was being looked after by Min Nan, so she decided to return to the educated youth dormitory to make up for her absence.
She had been missing for a whole night, and she was sure that her absence was noted down by the dormitory’s management. She needed to find a way to have her name removed, or else this matter would be difficult to explain. It might even be reported to higher-level authorities.
Before heading down the mountain, Ye Ling had reminded Yu Huan that the incident of the two of them being abducted by Wang Gang’s men must remain a secret. Otherwise, the villagers would surely gossip about it. So Yu Huan didn’t dare to delay and immediately returned to the dormitory. She brought some precious local specialties from her hometown, packed them, and handed them over to the dormitory’s management. Finally, they removed her name from the records.
Yu Huan spent the night in the forest farm’s office, and after coming down from the mountain, she wasn’t at all tired. After sorting out her own affairs, she still felt uneasy about Ye Ling’s situation. That’s why she brought along the remaining special gifts and came to the Wan family’s home.
Ye Ling looked at Yu Huan placing two bottles of liquor and a box of donkey-hide gelatin on the table and couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. “You came just to visit, why did you bring so many precious items?”
Pouting, Yu Huan replied, “The donkey-hide gelatin is for your health, and as for the liquor, consider it an expression of my gratitude. Even though I’m not too fond of that Min Nan, if he hadn’t arrived in time, I might have spent a restless night worrying. I’m not someone who likes to owe others, especially men!”
Ye Ling smiled and explained, ‘My body is fine, just a bit tired.”
“Looking at how thin you are, where’s the ‘fine’ in that?” Yu Huan remarked, her eyes suddenly stopping in their tracks, fixated on Ye Ling’s chest.
Ye Ling felt a bit embarrassed under Yu Huan’s gaze and shot her a coquettish glare. “What are you looking at? No peeking!”
Yu Huan looked at Ye Ling in surprise. “Lingling, you’re so slender, why is that part so well-developed?” She lowered her gaze, looking at her own flat chest with a puzzled expression.
Ye Ling’s face was practically burning with embarrassment. She wished she could cover Yu Huan’s mouth. This girl, why did she have to say everything so straightforwardly? Fortunately, there were no men around, or it would have been incredibly awkward!
Coughing awkwardly, Ye Ling said, “It’s related to one’s physical constitution. Actually, mine is… average. I could prescribe something for you that might promote development.”
Hearing this, Yu Huan quickly waved her hand. “No need, no need. I was just commenting. I have no plans to get married and have kids, so it’s perfectly fine for things not to develop in that department. There’s a girl in my dorm who’s very well-endowed. When she goes out, guys always sneak glances at her chest. I don’t want that kind of trouble!”
Hearing Yu Huan’s words, Ye Ling didn’t say anything more.
After chatting for a while, Wan Hai and Wan Feng returned. They both looked tired from their journey.
Ye Ling felt guilty because her disappearance had caused Wan Hai and Wan Feng to go all the way to Chen County to look for her and Yu Huan, which not only involved a long trip but also disrupted their work.
Seeing Ye Ling’s apologetic expression, Wan Hai immediately guessed that she was about to apologize. He quickly spoke up, “Lingling, take a look at what we’ve brought back! ”
Saying that, Wan Hai raised the item wrapped in oil paper in his hand.
Yu Huan, standing next to Ye Ling, exclaimed, “Salted chicken!”
“Exactly!” Wan Feng chimed in cheerfully. “We went to Chen County, couldn’t find you, and thought that you might have already returned home by the time we got back. So, we bought Chen County’s famous salted chicken. Oh, and this too..”
