Chapter 9, Sleep Issues

Zhao Yu has yet to understand how a young lady of such stature, the cherished jewel of a wealthy family, would come to play in such a remote village

When she is not being mischievous, she appears quite pleasant, and Zhao Yu's temper towards her is relatively good

Zhao Yu glanced at Daining

That night, the Big Dipper shone particularly brightly, the Milky Way flowed, and the surroundings were tranquil

In her hair, there are two dark-colored silk ribbon bows, and when she is not speaking, she looks as lovely and beautiful as a little sea nymph emerging from the sea

Zhao Yu : ... ...

Zhao Yu threw the fan aside, intending to push her away directly

Dainin said: "He is a dull old man, very boring; I want to play with you all"

She happily lay down on the freshly made "human mattress".

Those who think too much may also speculate whether the young lady, unable to bear seeing him with Du Tian, has any intentions towards Zhao Yu

Zhao Yu ignored Dai Ning and turned to Du Tian, saying: "Sister Du Tian, the young lady is usually a bit spoiled, so do not take it to heart."

Even though he will be incredibly impressive in the future, he is unaware of it now, which means there is no hope

Dai Ning glanced over, appearing to ponder seriously for two seconds

Zhao Yu paused his hand that was pushing her arm, and finally, with a distracted gaze, looked at the ribbon knot in her hair

She got up and left, while Daining waved at her. Du Tian took a deep breath and did not look back

Please come here for a moment

However, Zhao Yu would not think this way. As soon as Du Tian left, Dai Ning immediately moved a distance of ten feet away from him

Du Tian does not leave, she cannot leave; Du Tian is just like an indestructible cockroach, as soon as she leaves, she will definitely stick back immediately

The young lady's drowsy voice was soft and gentle, and Zhao Yu pressed his lips together: "If you don't mind, you can sleep in the tent."

She folded the torn cotton batting into two layers under the moonlight, then placed a thin quilt on top, and finally threw them all into Zhao Yu's arms

She claimed to be quite impressive, and both Zhao Yu and Du Tian believed her, after all, the young lady grew up in a big city and received education from top-notch teachers.

It would be strange for him to have any feelings for her given her disdainful behavior as a young lady

But Daining would not ask. As soon as Zhao Yu spoke, she immediately cheerfully ran off to sleep. She also said with a hint of jealousy, "You are not allowed to come over, okay"

Dainin crawled into his tent

Dai Ning rubbed her eyes and said, "I want to sleep"

Dai Ning had already eaten the dinner sent by Uncle Qian before arriving at the valley. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and even in her past life, she never experienced hardship until her death. Even though she endured some inner turmoil, she was ultimately the eldest daughter of the Ji family, never lacking in clothing or food

The girl beside him stared at him with wide eyes, not blinking

Seeing her like this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but chuckle, yet he still did not relent. The young lady has many flaws, with a full set of princess syndrome, spoiled by her upbringing.

Zhao Yu sat outside, listening to the sound of cicadas on a summer night, planning to make do with this for the night

Ah ... ... much more comfortable

As Du Tian walked away, Daining turned her head to look at Zhao Yu, who was also looking at her

Before today, the young lady had never slept in a tent that cost just a few dollars. She crawled inside, feeling somewhat bewildered

Dai Ning could not understand, what is the meaning of living when one works so hard like Zhao Yu? Surrounded by a bunch of burdens, life seems devoid of light.

Zhao Yu is simply overwhelmed

She suppressed her disgust and tried to lie down on the cotton fluff

In the height of summer, he is covered with two blankets all by himself

Du Tian gritted her teeth: "No merit, no reward; your phone is so expensive, I am afraid of damaging it"

The moonlight was bright and clear; when he came to his senses, he found that the young lady was breathing evenly

Dai Ning fell asleep without knowing, but Zhao Yu remembered

Dai Ning crazily stuck gold on her face: "I can do everything, come, let me teach you."

Dai Ning is very generous; she said with a smile, "Since you enjoy studying so much, you can use my phone. It's super convenient, just scan and there are no barriers. You can also look up words and practice listening, all in one go."

Dainin shook her head: "No, no."

Did Mr. Qian not take you out to play

What is there to argue about with a girl

There is no pillow, only a fan, a book, a water bottle, and a flashlight

Dai Ning said, "I will not go back; I will also stay here to guard the valley."

In his arms, Dainin's delicate half-white face was exquisite, with deep brown hair cascading around him

Zhao Yu was also unable to drive away the mosquitoes for her, so the young lady had to engage in a struggle on her own, exhausting herself considerably

He has been living this苦日子 since childhood, and has now become accustomed to it, finding it no longer difficult to endure, accepting it with equanimity

Du Tian's smile almost faltered

Dai Ning took out her book and flipped through it: "You ask what Zhao Yu is doing, he is so foolish, at a glance it is clear he hasn't studied for two years, why don't you ask me instead."

Zhao Yu, a mosquito has bitten me

Though it was said this way, the conversation could no longer continue. Du Tian suppressed the feeling of frustration in her heart and stood up: "I will go back to check on the millet, Brother Zhao Yu, thank you."

She crisply replied, "Please don't speak, I'm about to fall asleep."

It is not an interrogative sentence, but a declarative sentence

Dainin said: "Oh"

He is young and vigorous, and it is no problem for him to go several nights without sleep

Daining has grown accustomed to being pampered; even in her sleep, she feels uncomfortable in her dreams, tossing and turning on the blanket in his arms, and unconsciously rubbing her face with the back of her hand

It is unclear whether he was watching for too long or she fell asleep too quickly

I am hot, could you please fan me

Thus, when Daining was about to respond, even Zhao Yu could not help but look at her

If it were Du Tian, she would definitely ask with concern, "What will you do?"

Through this tattered cotton quilt, she felt the uneven shapes of the muddy ground. Every part of Daining was delicate, and she suddenly felt discomfort that made her gasp for breath

In the distance, faint sounds of insects chirping and frogs croaking can be heard

Zhao Yu could hardly believe what he had just done, had he been subjected to Ji Daining's torment to the point of developing a sense of servitude

Mosquitoes swarmed around Daining, and unable to bear it any longer, she moved next to Zhao Yu to complain to him

It is strange that people in the city easily become night owls, while in a small village, isolated from the world and lacking signal, Daining has managed to adjust her routine and usually goes to bed early

What does she want to learn in English

Dainin rested her chin on her hand and shook her head

Zhao Yu no longer wishes to speak

Du Tian has no areas she is not proficient in, but Zhao Yu is observing. In order to maintain her image as a gentle girl who loves to learn, she softly asks: "Miss Ji, how should this question be translated?"

If it were not for the young lady's interference, he would have already had his meal by now. Zhao Yu took out the dry biscuit left from lunch and nibbled on it with some lukewarm water.

Zhao Yudao: "Only under this condition, as you can see, everyone sleeps like this"

He lowered his head to look at Ji Daining, eagerly hoping that she would leave soon. Life had been disrupted by her arrival, and he did not like this change.

The air was still for a few seconds, and Zhao Yu and Du Tian vaguely felt that this sentence should be translated as 'I want to play with you'

Zhao Yu lowered his gaze, displaying little expression

The ground is very hard, I am not feeling well

Dai Ning, wealthy and extravagant: "It's just a phone. If I wanted to, I could get a hundred of them by tomorrow. Step back a bit, you're spitting saliva on someone's face while talking."

Please clean it for me quickly

The moonlight gently falls on her mermaid skirt, and as she dreams of something unknown, she curves her lips, her smile sweet.

By the light of the moon, she could see what was inside the tent: a tattered cotton mattress for padding and a thin blanket for covering.

Recalling the earlier words of the young lady, who said she regarded him merely as an object, Zhao Yu felt an impulse to throw her out

The young lady sat down between the two without any hesitation, chewing on a fruit candy, and said to Zhao Yu: "It is not fun at home."

Dai Ning blinked her eyes and took out a mobile phone from her handbag

It is a pity that complaints have begun once again about this and that

At this time of day, she would usually be comfortably lying on the bed in the "air-conditioned room"

Zhao Yu lowered her gaze, accustomed to her petty and selfish nature, and let out a sound from her nose, "hm"

Upon hearing this, her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish

Moreover, he truly has no way out

The girl who had taken over his resting place leaned out and called, "Zhao Yu!"

Dai Ning handed her phone to Du Tian and said, "Aren't I impressive?"

Zhao Yu noticed a mosquito resting on her face and, almost instinctively, picked up a fan to shoo the mosquito away for her

If the young lady were to live this kind of life, a person without ambition like her would choose to peacefully fade away

Zhao Yu: "If you don't go back by yourself, I won't be able to take you later."

You need to come along yourself. No matter how capable I am, I cannot conjure up a high bed and soft pillows. There is no other way; if you want to sleep, be a bit more compliant, and if you do not want to sleep, then go back.

Dainin thought, this miser!

Zhao Yu looked at the young lady's rosy face, sensing nothing in particular, but knowing that she was up to her usual mischief again

The young lady adjusted her comfortable posture, recalled something, and casually handed him a fan.

Her fingers moved swiftly as she activated the scanning function, quickly scanning over the English book by Du Tian. Soon, the built-in dictionary on her phone translated the English text.

Zhao Yu was unwilling to find a solution, so Daining came up with one herself

The reason Zhao Yu could guess is that he was guarding the granary during the day. While the sunlight is indeed beneficial for drying the grain, the heat is truly intense. No matter how clean a man he is, he cannot avoid breaking into a sweat.

Du Tian politely said: "Miss Ji, I am seeking advice on an English question. You are sitting on my book, could you please make some room?"

Zhao Yu said, "I will give you the flashlight, you can go back by yourself"

You dislike Du Tian very much

The young lady wiped her face in dissatisfaction and turned to look at Zhao Yu

Zhao Yu walked over and squatted down; under the moonlight, her hair spread out, and her seaweed-like curls were oddly charming

Dainin did not deny it; instead, she seriously discussed with him: "You hate her together with me, right?"

He was drenched in sweat, and in the end, he picked up a fan and waved it for her in a half-hearted manner

She felt comfortable, and her sleeping expression became obedient once again

Zhao Yu held a quilt and a blanket in his arms, with a person on top. He silently looked at her for a while before speaking: "Ji Daining."

As the sun sets, there are not many people in the mountain village willing to light their lamps at night, and the valley is shrouded in darkness. Fortunately, there is moonlight and a sky full of stars

Zhao Yu whispered, "What happened?"

The pancakes were made by my younger brother Zhao Ping, and they were dry and tasteless

Du Tian smiled faintly and said, "No."

Zhao Yu said to her, "While it is still light, you should hurry back."

This village is at least forty years behind the rest of the country, with mountains blocking the way out, and only a solitary, despairing moon hangs over the village

Du Tian : ... ...

Two strands fell into his palm, and Zhao Yu inadvertently touched them, discovering that they felt particularly good, curled and fluffy, like a small animal

Dai Ning saw Du Tian and knew that her guess was indeed correct

In terms of the degree of annoyance, who can compare to a young lady? Zhao Yu does not understand Du Tian, but as it stands, Du Tian has not done anything to provoke dislike; on the contrary, she is kind to others

Zhao Yu looked at her for a while, and his thin lips uttered a few words: "Unreasonable trouble"

"But I am not like everyone else," Dainin emphasized, "I do not want to sleep like this, you need to find a way for me."

Zhao Yu knew that she was whimsical and would not listen to him, so he did not waste his breath

Zhao Yu's veins throbbed on his forehead, do you have any shame
