Chapter 35: Chapter 35 - Seeing him Off

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Song Yiren got to the entrance of the village, she took out the bamboo flute and blew it. After waiting for a long time, the man in black still did not appear. She could not help but be a little angry, “Why isn’t that good-for-nothing here yet?”

At this moment, the soft sound of footsteps came from behind her. Song Yiren quickly spun her head around and saw that it was the man in black. She chided him unhappily, “Why did you only come now?”

“I was held up by something,” the man in black said indifferently.

“About that matter which I instructed you to do, carry it out at a later time. I’ll use the bamboo flute to inform you when at that time,” Song Yiren told the man in black without beating about the bush.

“Okay!” the man in black replied to her.

“That’s all. You can leave.” Song Yiren waved to the man in black.

The man in black nodded before he turned around and ran towards the forest. Very quickly, he disappeared into the night.

Song Yiren withdrew her gaze and walked towards the village. She felt much more relieved now. After Zhan Yihan leaves tomorrow, let’s see who can protect Su Jinyue.

Not long after Song Yiren left, the man in black, who had left previously, walked out from behind a tree. Looking in the direction that Song Yiren had left in, he sneered coldly and reached out his hand to remove the mask on his face, revealing a well-defined and handsome appearance. It was Zhan Yihan. In their short interaction, he had already placed the mark on Song Yiren’s body.

The night passed by quickly.

The moment dawn broke, Su Jinyue got up and started preparing breakfast. Today, Yihan was going to leave by train. She planned to make some snacks for him to take with him to eat on the road.

She took some eggs out from the basket and washed them before using them to cook tea eggs. She then kneaded the dough to steam some cornbread. The weather in September was already cooling down, so these foods would not turn bad if kept for a day or two.

“It smells so good! What are you making?” Xu Tiansheng walked into the kitchen.

“Tea eggs and steamed corn bread. Wait for a while, Teacher. You can eat some very soon,” Su Jinyue lifted up the lid of the wok and took a look.

“Is it for that lad from the Zhan Family?” Xu Tiansheng teased her while laughing.

Su Jinyue smiled embarrassedly, “Big Brother Yihan is leaving today, so I want to let him take them with him to eat on the way.” Although they were not considered rich, they didn’t have to worry about food and clothing. Besides, Teacher was not a stingy man.

“It’s a breakfast made with love. In that case, Teacher won’t snatch it from that lad from the Zhan Family. You can get him to take all of it with him.” Xu Tiansheng smiled wickedly.

“That’s not it. I made it in passing.” Su Jinyue stomped her feet in feigned anger.

“In that case, I shall eat more then.” Xu Tiansheng laughed heartily.

When Song Yiren walked into the kitchen and saw the two people who were talking and laughing, her expression became one of displeasure. However, when she thought about how she would never have to see Su Jinyue again after tonight, she felt exhilarated. Go on and laugh.This is the last time in your life that you’ll get to laugh.

“I’m hungry, is there anything to eat?” Song Yiren asked. When one’s mood was good, one’s appetite would also be good.

Su Jinyue pretended not to hear Song Yiren’s words. She walked to the side and took two pieces of oiled paper. Lifting up the lid of the wok, she took out a few steamed corn breads and tea eggs, put them inside the paper and wrapped them up. “Teacher, I’ll head out first.” If it weren’t out of respect for Teacher, she would never leave breakfast for Song Yiren at all.

“Okay!” Xu Tiansheng nodded. He did not pay much attention to Su Jinyue ignoring Song Yiren. He simply thought that Su Jinyue was just in a hurry to meet Zhan Yihan.

Song Yiren did not take it to heart. Anyway, she was a dead man walking.

As soon as the Zhan family walked out of the house, they saw Su Jinyue walking towards them with a cloth bag in her hands.

“Uncle Zhan, Aunty Zhan, Yifeng, Yilin, Yiping, Big Brother Zhan,” Su Jinyue greeted each and every one of them.

“Jinyue, you’re here.” Everyone except one smiled and nodded at Su Jinyue.

“Humph!” Zhan Yiping snorted coldly and turned her head away. She just found Su Jinyue to be an eyesore.

Zhan Yihan smiled lightly at Su Jinyue before turning his head and looking at Zhan Yiping with a cold expression on his face, “Don’t you see your Big Sister-in-law?”

Zhan Yiping felt a chilliness strike her face, and could not help but shrink her neck in fear. “You’re not married yet, so how can I have a Big Sister-in-law?” There was no way in hell she would call Su Jinyue her Big Sister-in-law.

Zhan Yihan’s face turned solemn as he said, “Greet your Big Sister-in-law, do you hear me!”

Zhan Yiping shuddered in fright. Indignantly, she looked at Su Jinyue and uttered through gnashed teeth, “Big Sister-in-law.” A wise girl does not fight when the odds are against her. Even if she greeted her, she would still not acknowledge Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue smiled nonchalantly and passed the cloth bag in her hand to Zhan Yihan, “Big Brother Yihan, you can bring these snacks with you on the road to eat.” In her past life, Zhan Yiping had married someone, who ran a fashion business, under Song Yiren’s influence. It was just that the man had a terrible temper and loved to drink. He would often take it out on Zhan Yiping after he drank. The most serious incident had sent Zhan Yiping straight to the hospital.

At first, Zhan Yiping always made herself look like she was very happy, until that one time when the Zhan family found out that Zhan Yiping’s life was not as good as it seemed. Later on, Zhan Yihan had stepped forward and severely punished that man. Only then did Zhan Yiping’s life become a little better.

Before getting arrested, she had met Zhan Yiping once. At that time, she was wearing gorgeous clothes and was decked out in gold jewelry. However, her face did not reflect the happiness that should have been there. On the contrary, she looked like a walking corpse with empty eyes.

Zhan Yihan took the cloth bag from Su Jinyue’s hand. Opening it to take a look inside, a delighted grin appeared on his handsome face, “You can tell at a glance that my wife’s cooking is delicious.”

Su Jinyue blushed, and rolled her eyes at Zhan Yihan in mock anger. “What nonsense are you spouting!” There were so many people around and it was making her embarrassed.

“It’ll happen sooner or later anyway.” Zhan Yihan smiled as he held Su Jinyue’s hand and strolled towards the entrance of the village.

Su Jinyue tried to pull her hand back a few times but to no avail, so she had no choice but to let Zhan Yihan hold her hand, while her face turned red.

Wang Meizhen and Zhan Dafeng looked at each other and smiled. Now, they just had to wait to help them organise a wedding.

Clenching her teeth, Zhan Yiping stepped forward, and held Zhan Yihan’s other hand. “Big Brother, when will you be back again after going back this time?” She was not going to let them talk to each other.

Zhan Yihan’s brows furrowed. However, as she was his younger sister, he could not just fling her hand away. “Depends on the situation.” It was impossible to come back within the next one and a half years.

“I heard that the capital is great and there are beautiful young ladies everywhere on the streets. Big Brother, aren’t there any pretty ladies around you?” Zhan Yiping asked. She wanted to make Su Jinyue sad. With beautiful girls around Big Brother, who knows, maybe he’ll fall in love with one of them someday.

Zhan Yihan nodded briefly. He squeezed Su Jinyue’s hand slightly and looked at her as he said, “There’s no more space in my heart anymore.” His heart was already filled with her and could no longer accommodate anyone else.

Su Jinyue smiled sweetly and said, “I know!” She knew Yihan very well, so of course there was nothing to worry about. If he really fell in love with some other girl, he would not have remained single in her past life..
