Chapter 43: The Holy Little Angel

  Yu Songyuan stared at the stove, constantly adding coal to make the water hot. The edge of the stove was very warm, and he casually picked up a thick book that Master Zhu had read until it was shiny with oil. The name was "Red All Over Wan Mountain", and after flipping through it randomly, he threw it aside. It wasn't until much later that Lin Xue finished washing up and came out.

  She combed her long hair and sat down beside Yu Songyuan. Yu Songyuan smelled her body fragrance, he was secretly and greedily sniffing and comparing. Ah, although she didn't have the mature charm of Yu Yueliang and Wang Fengpo, she had a unique flavor and charm that belonged to girls, which made people dizzy.

  Lin Xue, who had just come out of the bath, had a face as red as two apples, making people want to take a bite. She was fiddling with her long hair while saying: "Master Zhu must have gone home, he's quite pitiful."

  Originally, Master Zhu only had an elderly couple, and the two children were abroad. He was also a teacher, but later messed around with female students and was expelled from the teaching staff to work in a small factory as a gatekeeper and boiler operator. Now, his monthly salary is only 16 or 17 yuan, not even comparable to that of an apprentice. The two children do not come into contact with him either, and his partner is also ill.

  Misfortunes always befall those who are hated by others; this is absolutely true.

  The warmth by the stove was like spring, and Lin Xue's hair dried quickly. She casually tied her hair back into a lovely ponytail, then leaned against Yu Songyuan's shoulder and said, "Today is the most relaxing bath I've ever taken."

  Yu Songyuan said, "I was just about to say that too. The structure of this bathhouse is problematic. The women's and men's sections are too close together, you can even hear each other's voices when speaking, it's too easy for something to happen."

  "There are over 40 female workers and only 6 or 7 male workers here. Originally, there was only one women's bathhouse. Later, the male workers suggested that the factory convert one of the changing rooms in the women's dormitory into a men's bathhouse. The master said that in the past, there have been instances of hooliganism and peeping. I'm most afraid to come take a bath alone, so I always dare to come with Master, but we're all nervous."

  The next day, Yu Songyuan first went to pay New Year's greetings to Teacher Zhang and his family, but they were not at home. Teacher Zhang and Liu Gong had gone to their hometown for the Spring Festival. He then took Lin Xue to specifically pay New Year's greetings to Master Huang.

  In the few days before January 15th, Yu Songyuan reviewed the materials Qin Hong gave him again. Qin Hong was a very diligent girl, and her study materials were either brief or densely filled with notes. These notes had a huge impact on Yu Songyuan's self-improvement.

  During the New Year, Qin Hong went to pay respects to Yu Songyuan's family and asked him questions. After that, he said: "Little brother, your problem is your mindset, your knowledge is more than enough. In fact, exams are not just about testing knowledge, sometimes they also test one's mindset." Now, Yu Songyuan thinks back and realizes that maybe the reason he failed the college entrance exam last year was because he didn't know how to control his mindset.

  Every day, when Yu Songyuan was studying intensively, Lin Xue would always accompany him. She had already started learning from the second-year high school textbook and her diligence was not inferior to Yu Songyuan's. Her intelligence was very good, and she made rapid progress, of course, having Yu Songyuan as a good teacher was also an important reason.

  In his spare time, Yu Songyuan went to the wooden bridge to practice martial arts, and Lin Xue and Da Jiang were quietly accompanying him on one side. Lin Xue wore thick gloves, wrapped a big scarf around her neck, put on new cotton-padded jacket and pants, and then wore a thick new overcoat outside, with brand-new cotton shoes on her feet, fully armed from head to toe, no longer afraid of the cold.

  After lunch, the weather is warmer and they will walk along the long river embankment to enjoy the endless snow scenery along the river. Or go fishing in the river ditch, hunting, and improving their lives, having a great time. During this period, Lin Xue will pickle the eleven big fish that she can't finish eating and two fat wild ducks, hanging them on the iron wire in front of the door. Lin Xue's cooking skills are excellent, and she makes "small days" delicious and enjoyable.

  At night, Yu Songyuan was reviewing, and she read books by herself. When Yu Songyuan put down the book and said: "Now is the time for questions, ask quickly." She would ask a large number of questions one by one. She worked hard, her homework was meticulous, sometimes until very late, only when Yu Songyuan took away her book would she reluctantly yawn and return to her dormitory to sleep.

  Although it is said that poor children grow up early, after all, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl. One day, Yu Songyuan was solving several difficult physics problems, and the time passed slowly. She had been studying by herself, but suddenly dozed off. Yu Songyuan told her to go to sleep, but she insisted on staying with him to study together. However, in just a moment, with a pen still clutched between her teeth, her head tilted to one side and she fell asleep on the desk, softly snoring.

  Yu Songyuan looked at her, speechless and lost in laughter. He carefully looked at her small face, and couldn't help but gently kiss her forehead. The more he looked at her face, the more she resembled Yu Yuemonth. Her eyebrows, nose, and small mouth were all identical. What was even more astonishing was that the fragrance on her body was exactly the same as Yu Yuemonth's, making it hard to believe. In fact, several months ago when he first saw her by the pool, he felt as if he had seen a miniature version of Yu Yuemonth.

  This had always been a secret in his heart. There are some things under heaven that are just unthinkable.

  He picked her up horizontally and walked to her dormitory, put her on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with a thick quilt. Just about to leave, he was afraid that she would catch cold at night wearing clothes, so he gently took off her cotton jacket and cotton pants, his heart suddenly trembling uncontrollably.

  A 15-year-old girl, with good nutrition, seems to have started developing rapidly. Under her bright red sweater, her slender chest has already begun to show a noticeable bulge, and her small buttocks are also becoming rounder. Yu Yueyue and Wang Feng are the type of beauties who are plump and curvy, while Lin Xue is like an unripe apple, cucumber, or tomato - fresh but not yet mature.

  He didn't dare to look at her more, fearing that his wild thoughts would profane this holy little angel. He stealthily kissed her lips and then quickly covered her up carefully with the quilt.

  Afraid that she was not safe and afraid that she would be scared, he woke up the big general again. The big general grumbled in protest for a few moments. He moved the big general's nest to her dormitory, letting the big general protect her and give her courage. Only then did he turn off the light, walk out of the door, gently pull the door shut until the latch clicked, pull it back to make sure it was closed, before returning to his own dormitory to sleep.

  The next day, Lin Xue woke up early and opened her eyes to find Da Jiang standing in front of the bed, wagging his big tail and staring at her with bright, shining eyes. She reached out a hand to touch Da Jiang's head, and he happily shook his head and swished his ears.

  Teased it for a while, suddenly felt something was wrong, lifted its body and took a look, the door was closed. The general's nest had also been moved in. Only then did it remember that it must have fallen asleep last night, and it was Yu Ge who helped take off its clothes.

  She lay in bed for a while, suddenly turned red, and stretched out her hand to touch her body with a tense expression. The sweater and trousers were all dressed properly, and there was nothing unusual about the body, which made her feel relieved. But immediately after, a small feeling of longing and loss surged up in her heart again.

  After school, every morning, Da Jiang would send Lin Xue to the teacher's residential area and wait until she was far away before returning to his dormitory. This became a particularly beautiful scene in the eyes of teachers and their families living on campus.

  A majestic and powerful wolf dog, faithfully guarding a 15 or 16-year-old beautiful young girl, walking through dense reeds, forests with tall trees, fields overgrown with weeds, and vast empty vegetable fields in winter. This is a beautiful picture filled with humanistic spirit, a romantic and warm pastoral poem, making the teachers who are fond of writing essays and their families relish it.

  Especially at night, Yu Songyuan would also take the big general to the edge of the vegetable field on time, patiently waiting for her, and then pick up the little girl back to the dormitory. To people who didn't know, the two seemed like a pair of lovers in a passionate love affair, or newlyweds who couldn't bear to part with each other during their honeymoon.

  Actually, at this moment, in Yu Song Yuan's heart, Lin Xue was no longer just a little sister who needed his care and protection now, but also the woman he would love and cherish for the rest of his life. He knew that he had clearly felt it, he had truly fallen in love.

  Before the start of school, when Yu Songyuan was tired from studying alone every day, he would take Da Jiang to fish or hunt in the river ditch. This was what Da Jiang liked to do most. Every evening when picking her up, as long as she smelled the fragrance of fish meat, Lin Xue would turn into a happy little bird, seemingly so excited that she wanted to fly away.

  Yu Songyuan's culinary skills are not to be complimented, but she eats very fragrantly, extremely fragrant. She especially likes to eat Yu Songyuan's stir-fried oatmeal with lard, that rich fragrance, that smooth taste, don't mention how beautiful it is.

  After the Spring Festival, it's already March, and the weather is gradually warming up.

  That day, Yu Songyuan was in class when Lin Xue suddenly rushed to find him. Yu Songyuan sat in the last row, and as soon as she poked her head out from the back door, he saw her and immediately walked out with his head down. Lin Xue anxiously whispered: "My big brother is here, what should we do?"

  Yu Songyuan didn't react: "The old man came to see you, it's a good thing. Where are you now? Are you in the dorm?"

  Lin Xue's face turned red as she said, "He is currently at the factory reporting medical expenses, and later he will go to the dormitory with me. I am worried... worried... that he won't be happy." In fact, she wanted to say "I'm worried that he'll discover our relationship."

  Suddenly, she realized that her relationship with Yu Songyuan had not been clearly defined, although in her heart, she had long considered Yu Songyuan as her love and dependence. Moreover, she believed that Yu Songyuan must also have regarded Lin Xue as his future partner, she was sure of it. But after all, she was only fifteen years old, and there would be too many changes in the long years to come, this she really couldn't say out loud.

  Yu Songyuan had already understood, he patted her head and said, "Don't worry, wait for me." He then went back to the classroom to pick up his bag, quietly made a gesture to Li Yun to ask for leave on his behalf, and walked out of the classroom with Lin Xue towards the school's workshop.

  Lin Xue's heart was burning like a fireball. She asked: "Yu Ge, what should we do?"

  Yu Songyuan said: "You think, with your decades of life experience, he just needs to look at our eyes and will see the relationship between us. So, trying to deceive him is almost impossible."

  "What if he doesn't agree?"

  Lin Xue was on the verge of tears, "Do you still remember that deputy leader I told you about? His son is a bit stupid, we were classmates in primary and middle school. He couldn't finish middle school so he started working. They've always had their eyes on me, my mom has always wanted me to marry into their family when I grow up. My brother and I have never agreed, so this matter has been dragging on. If my mom finds out about our relationship, she'll definitely come to the school to make a big scene."

  Yu Song was shocked upon hearing this and realized that he had been blinded by love, never having thought of the issue of parental opposition.
