Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yi Ke did not intend to go back. She still wanted to find a way to break out of the situation.

Yu Heng didn’t expect Yi Ke to be so stubborn. He finished the pancake in his hand and stood up. “Little Yu, guard the grains for me for a while. I’ll go back and take a shower and change my clothes.”

Yu Yu agreed.

On one hand, Yu Heng wanted to persuade Yi Ke to go back early on the way back. On the other hand, he really hadn’t rested well last night. The sweat on his body had dried up and was rising. Now, his entire body was sticky. Yu Heng felt that if he stayed on guard for another day, the flies would fly around him.

“Let’s go home.” Yu Heng didn’t have anything to take. He stood in front of Yi Ke and urged her to leave.

Yi Ke also yawned and did not argue with him. She obediently followed Yu Heng home.

“Why are you staying here? Isn’t it good to go home? There’s nothing fun and delicious here,” Yu Heng said. He was really curious about why Yi Ke was so stubborn as to stay here.

“Leave me alone!” Yi Ke rolled her eyes. Her face was still hurting, and she didn’t want to talk to the culprit who caused her face to hurt.

“Putting aside whether I’m caring for you or not, if something happens to you, our village won’t be able to escape the investigation.” Yu Heng stopped in his tracks. Yi Ke, who was following behind him, didn’t notice and bumped into Yu Heng’s back.

“Don’t you realize that the villagers are looking at you differently? The longer you stay here, the more people will see through you. They don’t dare to touch you now because they don’t know the strength of your bodyguards, but what about in the future? Have you heard of the saying, ‘Knowingly follow the example of a wrongdoer’? Once someone starts robbing you, those with ill intentions will swarm you. It’s a small matter if you’re robbed, you’ll just have less money. But what if something worse happens? Rape, murder, and dumping corpses in the wilderness. Have you ever thought about these things?”

Yi Ke was shocked by Yu Heng’s sudden seriousness. She had indeed never thought about the possibility of these things happening.

Usually, she was a high and mighty young lady who looked down on others. Naturally, she did not notice the way the villagers looked at her. Now that Yu Heng mentioned it, she suddenly realized the danger.

“Alright, alright! I’ll restrain myself in the future!” Yi Ke finally agreed.

For the next few days, she had to be obedient and live an ignoble life. As the saying went, it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When everything settled down, she would slowly take revenge.

Yu Heng saw that she was finally listening to him, so he didn’t say anything else. After returning home, he walked straight to the well, fetched a bucket of cold water, and poured it over himself. The water in this well was actually the underground water in the mountains. It had not been warmed by the sun in the morning, so it was cold.

Usually, Yi Ke would only touch it when she wanted to play with water and even complain that it was cold. Yu Heng poured a few buckets of water in a row as if he couldn’t feel it and washed the sticky feeling on his body before stopping.

Yu Heng went into the house to look for clothes when he suddenly heard Yi Ke’s scream behind him. He turned around and saw Yi Ke covering her eyes with her hand, but in fact, she was secretly looking at him through the gaps between her fingers.

In the past summers, Yu Heng would shower directly in the courtyard. It had become a habit. Although there was an additional Yi Ke at home, Yu Heng had gotten used to her existence after interacting with her. He was frightened by Yi Ke’s scream and remembered that his actions were not very appropriate.

Yi Ke was indeed frightened. To be fair, Yu Heng’s figure was top-notch.

Years of different labor made every muscle grow just right, and he had just taken a shower, so his wet undershirt and shorts stuck firmly to him. When Yi Ke saw him, he was bending down to look for clothes. His full butt was slightly raised, and his groin could be vaguely seen.

Yi Ke covered her eyes subconsciously and screamed.

It was fine if Yu Heng didn’t turn around. When he turned around, his upper body muscles were stuck to his wet white undershirt, and his chest muscles and abs were faintly visible. Yi Ke saw this scene through the gaps between her fingers and blushed to the roots of her ears.

“Uhm, I’m sorry…” Yu Heng also realized that something was wrong. Just as he was about to apologize, he saw Yi Ke turn around and run away, leaving him standing awkwardly on the spot.

Yu Heng didn’t chase after her. For a moment, he didn’t know if he was more embarrassed or Yi Ke was more embarrassed. He could only change his clothes and go to the grain field to let Yu Yu come back.
