Fang Yuan saw Lu Chuan nod and finally felt satisfied. She turned over, switched off the light, and went to sleep, truly without a single extra thought.

After Lu Chuan’s mind stopped drifting, Fang Yuan on her side had already started snoring softly.

Lu Chuan, on his side, began to struggle with his thoughts. “Why is it that Fang Yuan just doesn’t think more about it? Or is it that I don’t really make her feel anything special?”

His brain really suffered through it, and he actually pondered it half the night. All that running and chasing earlier to tire themselves out had been completely wasted.

The next morning, Fang Yuan got up full of energy, while Lu Chuan had two heavy dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he had not rested at all, as if some demon had drained his vitality.

Heaven knew he was truly wronged. He did have thoughts, but unfortunately the “demon” simply was not interested in him at all.

Fang Yuan looked at him. “Did you fight someone in your dream last night? Why do you look so weak?”

Lu Chuan glared at her. “Stop misusing words. I am not weak. I just did not sleep well.”

Fang Yuan still was not satisfied. “Why? Weren’t you kissed? What else could you possibly think about?”

Lu Chuan gave her a resentful look. Exactly because I was kissed. If I thought any further, it would all be things you have never experienced. He did not dare say it.

At least he still had shame. So what came out of his mouth was, “I was worried about you going back alone today, so I could not sleep.”

After saying that, he gave Fang Yuan a deep, affectionate look, full of unspoken emotion.

Fang Yuan frowned and pulled a long face. “You really are worrying over nothing. What is there to worry about?”

Lu Chuan got a little anxious. This was going off track. “You are my wife. It is your first time traveling so far alone. How can I not worry? I miss you.”

All that deep affection was shouted out in those last words.

As the saying goes, if you think about someone often, there will be a response. Fang Yuan finally seemed to understand. “I miss you more.”

Lu Chuan thought to himself that things were finally aligning. After all his tireless effort, Fang Yuan finally had a bit of a woman’s heart.

Then he heard Fang Yuan continue, “You better study properly, learn real skills, and stop thinking about nonsense. If you make me worry about you, you will not have a good time, understand?”

All of Lu Chuan’s overflowing emotions instantly turned into one sentence. “Let’s go eat.”

Fang Yuan said, “Eat what? First go buy things, then I will take the bus. You should go to school early. Don’t delay serious matters.” She was a true career maniac.

Lu Chuan’s stubbornness flared up. “We are not missing a meal.”

Alright, once Lu Chuan got stubborn, Fang Yuan did not really have a way to deal with it either.

Lu Chuan looked at Fang Yuan with a dazed expression. Even after being lectured twice, he still felt happy inside. What could he do? He was just a love-brained fool.

In the end, they did eat, bought the parts, and then arrived at the bus station.

Fang Yuan was inside the bus, Lu Chuan stood outside, and the two of them looked at each other through the window.

Lu Chuan reminded her worriedly, “This bus goes directly to the county. Do not get off halfway. Do not meddle in other people’s business. Do not talk to anyone.”

Fang Yuan did not care at all. “Relax. The driver knows our father.”

Lu Chuan said, “That is great. I should go greet the driver too. Now I feel more at ease.”

Fang Yuan said, “I am going home. This is our territory. What is there to worry about? You are the one outside alone, thin arms and thin legs. You are the one who is not safe. Be careful and don’t get tricked.”

Lu Chuan took all of that as affection. His wife was worried about him. As for anything else, he simply filtered it out.

If Fang Yuan had been a little more gentle and sentimental, he would not have been so love-brained. He just wanted them to complement each other.

Fang Yuan, always decisive, said, “Alright, I am fine now. Go to school early. Don’t make people say we are not serious about studying.”

Lu Chuan could not bear to leave. “I know. I will go back in a bit. Remember to come to the provincial city to see me on the weekend.”

The ticket seller said the bus was leaving. Fang Yuan finally felt a slight change in mood. “Be careful outside. Do not cause trouble, and do not be afraid of trouble. If you are wronged, send me a message. I will bring my brother over. Study hard and don’t keep thinking about going home. It costs money.”

Lu Chuan was so moved that his eyes turned red. He knew it. Fang Yuan cared about him. This was the most beautiful love talk. As for the rest, he automatically ignored it.

Then the love-brained Lu Chuan ran to the driver and said, “Please take care of Fang Yuan on the road. My Fifth Brother is in the county.”

The driver said, “Relax. As long as you have eyes, no one dares to mess with Fang Dalen’s daughter.”

Unless someone has a death wish. The driver even looked at Lu Chuan a few extra times. He did not seem like a fool either.

Then the bus left. Lu Chuan waved his arm for a long time, not sure whether Fang Yuan had looked back.

He went to school alone, feeling a deep sense of loneliness. A married man leaving home really did feel different.

On the bus, an older woman beside Fang Yuan started chatting. “Is that your boyfriend? He looks quite refined. What does he do in the provincial city? You are just a rural girl going back alone. Are you not worried he might run off with another girl?”

Fang Yuan ignored her completely. She knew very well that there were scammers outside.

The woman continued talking to herself. “Girl, you do not seem as gentle as that young man.”

Fang Yuan glanced at her and said, “See that? The driver is my relative.”

After that, no one bothered her anymore. It was not that they were bad people, but Fang Yuan’s tone made her sound like someone not to be messed with.

The driver really did have a connection with Fang Dalen. He drove the bus to the station and even personally escorted Fang Yuan to where Wuhu was waiting.

When the brothers met, the driver left.

Wuhu was not worried about losing his sister at all. He complained, “You really are carefree. You have been out for several days. I have been busy to death.”

Fang Yuan said, “That is trust in you. If it were anyone else, do you think I would leave so easily?”

Wuhu was so angry his nose almost tilted sideways. “Thanks a lot for your trust.”

He asked, “Is Lu Chuan doing fine? Go tell Father so he does not worry.”

Fang Yuan said, “I know, I know. Hurry up and leave.”

Then she suddenly remembered her big bundle. “Let me show you something good. I saw a lot in the provincial city. They do not build houses, they build buildings, and they use cranes. Do you know what a crane is? So tall you cannot even see the top. With just a rope, it can lift anything no matter how heavy.”

After hearing all that, Wuhu only cared about one thing. “Just don’t tell me you want to buy a crane.”

Fang Yuan said, “I do want to buy one, but we do not have enough money yet. No rush. We can earn slowly. Fifth Brother, find more work.”

Wuhu turned and left immediately. This girl only thinks about going into debt. It is exhausting.
