Chapter 270: Zhou Hengyang Is Angry

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There will be a meeting in the village tomorrow evening. Zhou Hengyang's gaze remained fixed on Su Wen as he spoke. Something in its intensity made Su Wen flush, feeling heat creep along her bare skin.

It was difficult for Su Wen to ignore him, not when he was staring at her like that. It made her uncomfortable. Su Wen wanted him to stop but was too embarrassed to voice her thoughts.

If Zhou Hengyang denied it, saying he was not staring, wouldn't that paint her as someone with an overactive imagination?

Not wanting to continue that train of thought, Su Wen sped home. However, no matter how fast she walked, Zhou Hengyang kept up almost effortlessly. Eventually, she could not take it anymore and addressed the elephant in the room, Why are you acting so strangely today?

Why didn't you come home for lunch? Zhou Hengyang countered, training his cold eyes on something invisible in the air.

He was mad, exceptionally so. He had been in a bad mood since he declined Li Youcai's dinner invitation to make time for lunch with Su Wen, only for her to ghost him. Neither Su Xiu nor Little Sister Su seemed surprised by Su Wen's absence at lunch, almost as if they were used to it. This discovery served to worsen his already poor mood.

It led to him standing at the village entrance waiting for Su Wen since noon.

It had been several hours since then.

The longer he waited, the angrier he got. Yet, not even he knew why he was so angry.

Ah! That's right. I've secured a few sales. Su Wen chose not to hide anything from Zhou Hengyang, informing him of her harvest earlier that day. It was a paltry sum compared to Zhou Hengyang's earnings and probably would not be much in his eyes, so she felt it would not matter if she told him the truth.

Su Wen's eyes sparkled as she talked about her accomplishment. She spoke so enthusiastically that Zhou Hengyang felt his fiery heart melt with tender warmth. He ended up poking her cheek playfully, an action he took unconsciously. The small action caused all of his pent-up frustrations to vanish.

Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister are back, Zhou Hengyang interjected out of the blue.

Are they on vacation? Su Wen did not expect Su Xue and Fifth Sister to return suddenly. As far as she knew, those two were so afraid of her forcing them to drop out of school that they had been hiding in the dorms, refusing to come home. They had not even returned during their last school break!

Her two siblings had not let down their guard even when she had sent Su Xiu to deliver spending money and the bicycle to them, so what had persuaded them to come home now?

From her memories of the novel, Su Xue was forced to marry an old man in his fifties. That old man was Zhao Jiangang, whom the original Su Wen was supposed to marry but did not. Shortly after Fifth Sister dropped out of high school, she was raped by Zhao Jiangang in a drunken bout. Fifth Sister could not live with the indignity and committed suicide by ingesting pesticide.

Since Su Wen had transmigrated, she had not interacted much with Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister. Her feelings toward them were not as deep as those she bore for Sixth Sister, Su Qing, Su Xiu, and Little Sister Su.

Intuition told her that something must have happened for them to have returned so suddenly.

Su Wen had not felt as worried as she did then, even when she had brought Little Sister Su home. At least Zhao Jiangang was out of the equation. With the promise she had extorted from him, he would continue to support her Fourth and Fifth Sisters' education until they graduated from university.

As for whether they were hiding from her, she did not care.

Zhou Hengyang shot Su Wen a meaningful look. School is on break for the next two days. The middle school entrance exams will occur on Monday.

They'll have to be back in school before then.

I see. So they had no choice but to come back.

Su Wen tilted her head and sized up Zhou Hengyang. His handsome, deep-set features, combined with his coiled muscles, broad shoulders, and narrow waist He was an Adonis, no matter how one looked.

Zhou Hengyang suddenly closed the distance between them. He was so close that Su Wen almost felt the brush of his thick eyelashes against her face.

Have you gotten a good look?

Look? I'm not blind if that's what you're asking. Su Wen swallowed thickly, forcing herself to remain calm. I know you were worried about me, but you shouldn't have stood at the village entrance all afternoon or let my sisters see you like that. You'll give them funny ideas!

Indeed, if she did not know better, Su Wen would have thought he had done it on purpose!

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
