Chapter 157 Ye Mama Wants Her Daughter to Be a Scoundrel
He Yiyi choked, how could this person not play by the rules? Didn't they see how wronged she was?
"Shen Ge, do you have some misunderstanding about me? We were fine this morning."
Ye Shengge took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her face, raising her hand to stop the other party from disgusting her further.
"No misunderstanding, no anger, I just want to go back and cool off quickly. Goodbye, you can cry slowly."
Ye Shengge hurried back to class as fast as she could. The weather was so hot it could peel off a layer of skin, no wonder there was a drought. If only she could hold a sun umbrella, but she was afraid of being called a pampered lady. Life was too hard in this era.
He Yiyi looked at Ye Shengge's flowing long skirt, and then at her own clothes, which, though not patched, were already faded and worn. Her resolve to be friends with Ye Shengge only strengthened.
Actually, if He Yiyi hadn't exposed herself so quickly, Ye Shengge would have found it difficult to distinguish whether she was a genuine or fake innocent. Some people were truly innocent by nature; their gentleness and timidity would evoke a protective instinct in others.
He Yiyi didn't approach them further for the rest of the afternoon, mainly because Ye Shengge and Chen Tangtang were engrossed in their studies, and she felt it would be inappropriate to butt in.
As soon as school ended, Ye Shengge saw Zi Yisheng waiting alone at the school gate. His tall physique exuded a sense of security. Perhaps because of her father and elder brother, Ye Shengge had always liked tall and broad-shouldered men.
Zi Yisheng watched the girl in the white dress, with a face like a peach blossom, walk towards him. Every step she took seemed to walk into the depths of his heart. No other girl possessed such beautiful looks and grace that could captivate him.
"Tired?"
Zi Yisheng took the little girl's schoolbag, his movements natural, as if he had done it countless times.
Ye Shengge suddenly felt as if they had known each other for a long time, with no shyness of a new relationship.
"Not tired, just too hot."
"Let's go, we'll get in the car first, and you'll feel comfortable after a bath at home."
He Yiyi rushed desperately and only managed to catch the tail of the car. She stamped her feet in anger. Chen Tangtang, who saw everything behind her, rolled her eyes so much she was about to turn inside out, utterly disgusted by such people.
Ou Yang saw the figure chasing after the car and thought he should remind Miss Ye.
"Miss Ye, your classmate is chasing after our car."
Ye Shengge glanced back, her expression a little impatient.
"Don't pay attention to her."
Zi Yisheng knew everything about the little girl. He wouldn't intervene in such a minor matter, considering it as practice for the little girl.
Zi Yisheng squeezed the little girl's soft, tender hand and whispered comfortingly.
"If you don't like her, just ignore her. Don't let her bother you."
"En, she's just a little annoying. It's fine."
When they returned home, neither Ye's father nor Ye's mother was there. Ye Shengge quickly went to her room to take a bath, actually using the space to do so. Only after drying her hair did she leave the space, and the fan blowing felt like it was blowing hot air.
Zi Yisheng also finished washing up and was waiting at the door for the little girl. Hearing movement inside, he knocked on the door.
Ye Shengge opened the door, and Zi Yisheng walked in.
"You really don't shy away at all, daring to enter a girl's boudoir."
Zi Yisheng sat on the sofa, looking at the little girl with her hair down, his heart filled with tenderness.
"While no one else is home, I want to spend more time with you, otherwise, you won't be mine later."
The little girl was too popular, and he had no chance to snatch her.
Ye Shengge gave him a sideways glance, as if he were complaining.
They sat blowing the fan and chatting. Zi Yisheng found that the little girl was nothing like a high school student. No matter what topic he brought up, she could engage. Zi Yisheng felt that the little girl was a gift sent by heaven specifically for him, with surprises appearing no matter how he looked at her.
"Are there any measures to deal with this continuous drought? If it continues to be so hot without rain, it will be even harder to harvest grain."
The issue of grain made Zi Yisheng's head ache. Relying solely on imported grain wasn't feasible with insufficient funds, and with so many people in the country, how could they keep paying to buy it?
"Our country is facing both internal and external troubles. Many countries are unwilling to sell us grain. Moreover, our country is in such difficulty, where would we get the money to buy it?"
Ye Shengge knew her abilities were limited. Even if she grew grain non-stop every day, it wouldn't help many people. Not to mention money; she only had twenty boxes of her mother's prepared gold bars, which were hardly enough.
Ye Shengge thought of artificial rain, wondering if such technology existed in this world. In her previous life, this technology should have existed by the 1960s.
She remembered there were books on this subject in the study room of her space. She would ask her dad about it tonight.
Zi Yisheng watched the little girl fall into thought, thinking she was also worried about the grain. He quickly reached out and stroked her soft hair.
"These are not things you need to worry about. There will be a solution. The weather can't stay dry forever."
Despite saying this, Zi Yisheng knew that if the drought continued this year, countless people would die.
Hearing sounds from downstairs, Zi Yisheng quickly hugged the little girl.
"Let's go. If Uncle Ye finds me in your room, he'll be even more wary of me in the future."
Ye Shengge looked at the aggrieved Zi Yisheng and felt that it was truly a case of one conquering another. Her dad was truly mighty!
As they walked out of the room, Ye Mama came up, followed by Ye Papa. Their eyes scanned the two coming out like lasers.
"Mom and Dad, you're back."
"Hmph, you boy, come here."
Ye Mama looked at her daughter meaningfully. Had she been snatched away by a wolf in just one day?
Ye Shengge quickly took two steps back under her parents' gaze, pushing Zi Yisheng forward, letting him bear all the storms. Yes, she was that disloyal.
Zi Yisheng gave the little girl a helpless look. Fine, he would face the future father-in-law's tempest alone. Who made him cherish this girl so much?
Ye Mama found her daughter's reaction amusing. Such a little thing, with the heart but not the courage.
"Go into the house."
Ye Shengge had to follow her mother into the house. Before going in, she didn't forget to give Zi Yisheng a wink, signaling him to handle everything, and that she would have nothing to do with it.
"Still staring? Hurry up and come in!"
"Coming, coming right now."
As Ye Shengge entered the room, she quickly took a cup of iced fruit juice from her space and handed it to her mother, then sat beside her mother fawningly.
Ye Mama took several large gulps of the juice and sighed with satisfaction.
"Tell me, how did you end up with that Zi kid in just one day?"
Ye Shengge felt a little embarrassed. She also felt it was too fast; in just one day, she seemed to have taken a huge step forward.
"I just liked his looks, liked his physique, and felt he treated me quite well, so I agreed to give it a try."
Ye Mama rolled her eyes. She had been swayed by his good looks.
"People are very conservative now. Once you agree to date, it's hard to break up. Aren't you afraid you'll meet an even more handsome guy?"
