Chapter 29.2

He was too young and impulsive now, not as mature and steady as he was when he met her twenty years later.

She wouldn’t let Xie Hezhang get hurt because of her.

Secondly, this was a personal grudge between her and Ruan Wenhui.

When they got out of here, she would teach her a lesson.

She had never been interested in dealing with Ruan Wenhui, mainly because she didn’t intend to get entangled with those people from the past, she just wanted to live a good life with Xie Hezhang.

But this time, Ruan Wenhui actually wanted to kill her.

Ruan Wenhui, I will make you kneel down and beg me. We’ll see.

Shu Qingyao’s eyes darkened.

After calming down, Shu Qingyao took off the water bottle hanging from her body.

This was a military water bottle, very durable, and it hadn’t broken despite all the bumps and bruises along the way.

“I didn’t bring any food, but I have water, drink some first, don’t get dehydrated. Don’t worry, the village government has sent a lot of people to search, they will definitely find us soon.”

Xie Hezhang took the water and took a small sip before handing it back to Shu Qingyao, “You drink too.” Then he said with some displeasure, “They did send a lot of people, even you were included.”

Shu Qingyao, a young female intellectual with such small arms and legs, was actually assigned to come up and search, the people in the village government were really out of their minds.

“What are you talking about.” Shu Qingyao laughed angrily, “Don’t underestimate me. I saved a lot of people just now.”

She told Xie Hezhang about how she had discovered the small mudslide in advance and then evacuated the logistics personnel.

Xie Hezhang also laughed angrily.

“They all ran away, leaving you alone?”

“Uh.” Shu Qingyao was stumped for once, she could only let the logistics personnel take the blame.

…

Shu Qingyao had regained some strength, and then she looked around the cave.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this should be a natural cave, with only a small opening at the top as the exit.

She wasn’t too worried, the rescue personnel from Helian Village were very professional, they should be able to search this area soon after waiting for a while.

Rarely having a world for two, Shu Qingyao sat cross-legged on the ground and beckoned Xie Hezhang to come over and rest.

“Do you want some more water?” she asked, holding up the water bottle.

Xie Hezhang shook his head, looking at Shu Qingyao’s relaxed expression, he said helplessly, “You don’t seem to be in a hurry at all.”

“What are you afraid of? Someone will find us soon.”

“What if no one comes?”

“Then we two will die together in this cave, dying together is also a beautiful thing.”

These words made Xie Hezhang pause slightly, his gaze fell on Shu Qingyao’s delicate and beautiful face, her eyes were clear, with gentle affection, but also firm determination.

—As if she was willing to die with him.

Xie Hezhang was rarely a little shy.

He lowered his eyes, coughed lightly, and slowly sat down next to Shu Qingyao.

What was good about him?

He was poor and penniless, worthless, except for a good-looking face, but what use was a man’s face?

He didn’t deserve Shu Qingyao to be so good to him.

But the young man’s icy heart was finally warmed by the other’s love, giving rise to infinite hope for the future.

—As long as Shu Qingyao liked him, there was nothing he wouldn’t do for her.

He was willing to die for her.

Shu Qingyao took a sip of water and softly interrupted Xie Hezhang’s chaotic thoughts.

“Xie Hezhang, have you ever thought about going to college?”

Xie Hezhang was stunned, then said, “I’m not qualified.”

To go to the Workers’, Peasants’, and Soldiers’ University, you not only needed three years of work experience, but also a recommendation from your leader, someone like him, because of his background, don’t even think about going to college.

“Oh…” Shu Qingyao hugged the water bottle, “I mean, if the college entrance exam is restored in the future, would you like to go to college?”

Xie Hezhang looked at her, his voice firm and decisive, without hesitation, “Yes!”

Shu Qingyao curved her eyebrows and smiled, “Okay.” I’ll help you. She thought silently.

But the most important thing now was to keep Xie Hezhang from following his little captain to work anymore.

If she went through something like this again, even with the jade pendant, she would be scared out of her wits.

She wasn’t a cat, she didn’t have that many lives to scare.

She had to think of a way to get Xie Hezhang into the school.

The work in the school was easier than in the fields.

But what kind of position was there in the school?

She had to go back to the school and investigate further.
