Chapter 476: I Toward You, Actually

~5 min read 923 words

Sihe Academy

The sun blazed high, the sky clear and the air fresh.

Cao Cao Weiguo slept in, and by the time he got up, Song Song Yulan had already left for work.

He dressed, washed up, and unhurriedly ate breakfast.

After working out a bit at the farm, Cao Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle out the door.

"Ding! Daily Check-in Successful!"

"Obtained 10 jin of white sugar, 10 jin of rock sugar!"

Listening to the pleasant sound from heaven, the corners of Cao Cao Weiguo's mouth curved into a smile.

Watching Cao Cao Weiguo's leisurely appearance, the neighbors couldn't help but envy him, clicking their tongues.

He earns money this leisurely, and earns far more than their own men.

Just looking at it makes one jealous!

Because Cao Cao Weiguo also holds the position of procurement agent, he has to go to the countryside to procure supplies from time to time.

His schedule is also fairly relaxed, as long as he can complete the tasks on time.

The procurement tasks of the steel rolling mill are nothing more than a snap of the fingers for Cao Cao Weiguo.

So every time he goes to the countryside to procure, for Cao Cao Weiguo it is like an outing to relax.

No work pressure, time arranged at will.

In one word: awesome!

"Cao Weiguo, wait for me!"

Having just pushed his bicycle out of Sihe Academy, Yu Li came running over in a gust of wind.

Cao Cao Weiguo stopped where he was: "What's the matter, Sister Li?"

Yu Li asked, panting: "Where are you headed, Cao Weiguo?"

Cao Cao Weiguo: "Red Star Commune."

Yu Li: "I'm going to Yonghe Palace, can you give me a lift part of the way?"

Cao Cao Weiguo readily laughed: "Of course no problem, Sister Li, please get on."

Yu Li sat on the back seat with a red face, and Cao Cao Weiguo reminded her:

"Hold on tight, Sister Li."

After saying that, he got on the bike and pushed hard with his foot.

The bicycle shot out abruptly, vanishing into the alley within a few breaths.

Several neighbors who saw it were dumbstruck.

How did Old Yan's daughter-in-law end up sitting on Cao Cao Weiguo's bicycle?

A nosy auntie came to her senses and rushed headlong to the Yan household:

"Old Yan's family!"

"You! Your daughter-in-law Yu Li!"

"She went out sitting on Cao Cao Weiguo's bicycle!"

Upon hearing this, Second Auntie remained calm and composed, not the least bit surprised:

"I know!"

"Yu Li went out to run an errand."

"Cao Cao Weiguo has a bicycle, and it just so happens to be on the way."

"Riding in Cao Cao Weiguo's bike saves her some legwork."

The nosy auntie, who had been about to stir up trouble, was utterly disappointed: "Oh, so that's how it is."

Second Auntie said irritably: "You! Stop being so jumpy, people would think something scandalous happened!"

The nosy auntie laughed sheepishly: "I just misunderstood, didn't I? That's fine then, that's fine then."

Once out of the alley and onto the main street, the crowds of people made Yu Li blush a little.

It was her first time sitting on the back seat of a man's bicycle.

The feeling made her both nervous and shy.

Cao Cao Weiguo, carrying Yu Li, was quite at ease; he often carried Song Song Yulan normally.

Whether stamina or cycling skills, both were rock solid!

Just as he was pedaling forward, Yu Li behind him suddenly said:

"Was the woman you went to see a movie with at Wang Fujing a relative of yours?"

Holy crap!

That sudden question gave Cao Cao Weiguo a start.

He instinctively slammed the brakes.

Wang Fujing!

Watching a movie!

A woman!

It couldn't be that much of a coincidence, could it!

His secret rendezvous with Bai Sister Lijuan had been spotted by Yu Li!

Yu Li let out a startled cry, her body lurching forward with the momentum.

In her panic, she hastily wrapped both arms around Cao Cao Weiguo's waist.

Otherwise she really might have fallen off.

"What an impact! What a bounce!"

The sudden touch on his back made Cao Cao Weiguo's heart skip a beat.

The shock in his heart seemed to be washed away.

Yu Li's pretty face flushed red as she pouted, "Cao Cao Weiguo, what are you doing!"

Cao Cao Weiguo steadied the bicycle and laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry! I just dodged a rock!"

Yu Li let go with both hands: "You got scared by what I said, didn't you?"

"Tell me the truth—what's the relationship between that woman and you?"

"You haven't done anything wrong, have you?"

Cao Cao Weiguo kept pedaling the bicycle forward:

"Sister Li, you've got the wrong idea."

"That woman is just a friend of mine."

"That day we happened to bump into each other at the cinema."

Cao Cao Weiguo pretended to be calm, but inside he was a nervous wreck.

Yu Li often got together with Song Song Yulan.

If he slipped up here,

that whole household would never know peace!

"Between me and that woman, it's purely a friendship."

"Sister Li, please don't misunderstand."

"And don't go spreading it around."

"You know how it is—once this kind of thing gets out,"

"even if there's nothing to it, people will make something of it."

"It wouldn't look good."

Yu Li sat sideways and laughed, "You're not being honest, you rascal."

Cao Cao Weiguo: "Sister Li, you're still misunderstanding. I'm telling the truth—why won't you believe me?"
