Chapter 28

As more people came to collect their tools, Fu Chunian and Gu Yu left the room and walked outside.

“I can help you deal with that person,” Fu Chunian suddenly said.

Gu Yu looked at him in surprise. “Really?”

“Yes, but I won’t do it for free,” Fu Chunian turned to face her.

“How much do you want?” Gu Yu asked, feeling a little embarrassed. “Can you ask for less, considering Lanlan? I don’t have much money.”

“I don’t want money.”

“Then what do you want?”

“From now on, as long as I’m around, stay away from Lanlan. Stop coming between us and interfering with our relationship,” Fu Chunian said with clear resentment in his voice.

“You’ve been holding this grudge for a while, haven’t you?” Gu Yu asked.

Fu Chunian shot her a glance. “Do you agree or not?”

“Of course, I agree!” Gu Yu answered immediately. Then she asked, “How do you plan to deal with that person?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Just don’t tell Lanlan about it.”

“Got it.”

Gu Yu waited for Fu Chunian to take action, but five days passed, and there was no movement from him.

“Fu Chunian, when are you going to act?” she asked anxiously. That pervert was getting bolder every day, constantly trying to get close to her.

“I already have, but be patient. It takes time to take effect,” Fu Chunian replied.

“How much longer? I can’t take it anymore,” Gu Yu said irritably.

She started to suspect that Fu Chunian was deliberately making her suffer as payback for interfering with his relationship with Lu Lanlan.

Fu Chunian chuckled. “Soon. Just endure for two more days.”

“Fine, I’ll trust you one more time for Lanlan’s sake,” Gu Yu said before heading back to her room.

That noon, after collecting their tools, the workers headed to the fields. Lu Lanlan packed up, locked the door, and returned to the educated youth dormitory.

Before she could enter her room, someone blocked her way.

“Comrade Lu, back for a break?” A strong-looking female educated youth smiled at her.

“Do you need something?” Lu Lanlan asked coldly.

“Not really, I just want to chat with you,” the woman said, stepping closer.

Lu Lanlan took two steps back in disgust. “I have nothing to talk about with you.”

“You won’t know that until we talk,” the woman said, moving even closer.

Lu Lanlan frowned and stepped back again. “Don’t come so close to me. If you have something to say, say it. If not, don’t block my way.”

“I do have something to say. Can we talk inside?” The woman smiled.

Lu Lanlan hesitated but then nodded. “Fine.”

“Your room or mine?” the woman asked.

Lu Lanlan pointed to her own room. “You go in first.”

“Alright,” the woman agreed, feeling regretful that she hadn’t approached Lu Lanlan earlier. She had wasted too much time on Gu Yu.

Lu Lanlan had been her first target, but before she could act, Lu Lanlan became Fu Chunian’s girlfriend. Not wanting to provoke him, she had shifted her attention to Gu Yu instead.

As soon as they entered the room, the woman shut the door and tried to grab Lu Lanlan.

Before her hands could reach Lu Lanlan’s waist, Lu Lanlan grabbed her arms and pushed her to the ground.

The woman was stunned. How was Lu Lanlan so strong?

Lu Lanlan picked up a broom and smiled. “Since you like things to be different, let’s do something different.”

“W-What are you trying to do?” The woman looked at her in horror.

Although Lu Lanlan still appeared delicate and beautiful, at that moment, the woman saw something terrifying in her eyes.

She tried to get up several times, but Lu Lanlan easily pushed her back down.

Meanwhile, Fu Chunian was working in the fields when Gu Yu ran over frantically.

“That pervert went back to the dormitory! Lanlan’s there, right?”

As soon as Fu Chunian heard this, he threw down his tools and sprinted toward the dormitory, with Gu Yu following closely behind.

When he arrived, he saw Lu Lanlan stepping out of the woman’s room, panting and with her hair slightly messy.

His heart burned with rage.

“Lanlan!” He rushed over, full of concern, reaching out to touch her face, but she dodged.

Lu Lanlan glanced at him before walking toward the well to wash her face. Sweat clung to her skin, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable.

“Lanlan!” Gu Yu ran up. “Did she hurt you?”

Lu Lanlan smiled. “She tried to, but…”

Before she could finish, Fu Chunian stormed into the woman’s room.

“Hey! Fu Chunian, don’t go in! She’s not wearing any clothes!” Lu Lanlan shouted, but it was too late—he had already entered.

Seeing this, she immediately rushed after him.

Inside the room, the woman still had some sense of shame. The moment Fu Chunian entered, she grabbed the bedsheet to cover herself.

Lu Lanlan grabbed Fu Chunian, stopping him from doing something drastic. “Get out! Fu Chunian, leave!”

She struggled to pull him away. If anyone saw this, Fu Chunian would be finished.

Using all her strength, she finally managed to drag him outside.

Gu Yu, looking at the woman lying on the ground, was filled with disgust.

She marched over and slapped her twice. “You’re absolutely disgusting.”

The woman was furious and wanted to fight back, but she was already too weak from Lu Lanlan’s earlier beatdown.

After pulling Fu Chunian out, Lu Lanlan said, “Go back to your room. I’ll handle this. If you get involved and she accuses you, you’ll be in serious trouble.”

Fu Chunian stared at her—this girl, even after everything, was still thinking about his safety.

“Lanlan, no matter what happens, I will never abandon you,” he said firmly.

“Huh?” Lu Lanlan frowned, not understanding his meaning.

She didn’t have time to figure it out either. Work was about to end soon, and she needed to return to gather the tools.

“You go back to your room. I’ll settle things here,” she said, pushing him away before heading inside.

Seeing Gu Yu still standing there, Lu Lanlan said, “Gu Yu, go outside. I need to talk to her alone.”

“What do you have to say to her?” Gu Yu asked, confused.

“Just go,” Lu Lanlan insisted.

Gu Yu hesitated but eventually left. As she stepped outside, she saw Fu Chunian standing in the courtyard, his eyes red, fists clenched, radiating a murderous aura.

Gu Yu had never seen Fu Chunian like this before—he was always gentle and kind. This side of him was terrifying. Instinctively, she took a step back.
