CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 50: POTTERY KILN, FISH IN THE STREAM, SOMEONE’S COMING!

An hour later, Sui Yi had washed her hands and was sitting in the courtyard.

In front of the courtyard, the green hills were naturally dyed, the good fields were lush, and the gentle breeze carried the faint scent of the fields~~

"The air here is pretty good, smells so comfortable~~ The scenery is also very nice," Ah A felt that he hadn’t made a mistake in coming, although he also thought he was crazy when he got on the bus.

"Hm?" Sui Yi glanced at him, her eyes bright and clean like a mirror, paused, then said, "It’s a south wind blowing now, carrying the smell from the pigsty..."

Where was the fragrant scent of the fields?

Ah A was silent; was she forcing him to go home?

At that moment, two fairly good-looking people were sitting next to the pigsty, watching the clouds roll and unfold in the sky~~

"Hey, Sister Sui Yi, you’re back!" A sudden shout came, full of surprise, from outside the yard’s fence stood a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old...

With a square face and slightly wheat-colored skin, he was wearing a high school uniform and looked quite simple.

He seemed very surprised when he looked at Sui Yi.

However, there were four other teenagers beside him who were dressed more fashionably, not to say trendy, but still somewhat different from the village kids, after all, one who grows up running in the mud has a different air about them.

For instance, right now, the two girls were looking at the pigsty and the low houses with a look of disgust.

They made no attempt to hide it.

"Eh, Wang Pu, this place of yours is really quite the rural area~~" One of the girls covered her nose and pointed at the pigsty, her tone full of shock, "That’s a pigsty! I’ve never seen one before~~"

Wang Pu was a bit embarrassed, glancing back and forth between his classmates and Sui Yi, while the other two boys restrained themselves a bit, only their eyes kept glancing over Sui Yi several times.

"Zhang Yun, it’s actually not bad here; the air and scenery are very nice, much better than in our town..."

"Exactly! I even saw a stream; the water is so clear!..."

The two boys chattered for a bit, then pushed open the fence and walked in.

Ah A arched an eyebrow, looking with a smirk at the two reluctant girls.

Haven’t seen a pigsty before?

Ha, judging by their clothes, they came from comfortable homes. Families like theirs surely had rural roots in the past; could they really have never seen a pigsty?

Quite the affectation~~

They couldn’t compare to Sui Yi~~

Ah A subconsciously looked towards Sui Yi.

By then, Wang Pu and his classmates had already come in.

"Sister Sui Yi, you’re back today... who is he?"

Like everyone else, Wang Pu saw Ah A sitting next to Sui Yi, stretching his long legs.

"I’m her friend..." Ah A lifted his dark brows, his gaze sweeping over the group.

He was handsome, at least more so than the three boys, with a rugged charm that had a strong impact.

Unsettled feelings rose within the three boys simultaneously.

It was the difference between maturity and naivety.

The two girls’ eyes lit up.

"Wang Pu, did you bring classmates over to play?" As she was fairly familiar with Wang Pu, Sui Yi casually asked.

Wang Pu nodded, exchanged a few greetings about the old lady with Sui Yi and, since Sui Yi wasn’t much of a talker and was naturally cool, the conversation soon ran dry. It was, instead, the two boys who crowded around Sui Yi speaking quite a lot, while the two girl classmates gathered around Ah A.

Wang Pu felt even more frustrated.

Ah, whose classmates were these, anyway?

"Hey, Sui Yi, you go to Second High School, right?"

"Mhm"

"We’re from Third High School~~ from town. We heard there’s a Yhan Qingwu at your school... very beautiful, family’s rich, right?"

"Hmm, not sure,"

"And did your school’s vice principal really get arrested?"

"..."

Eventually, not even a "hmm" came, just a bland smile that subtly made people aware of Sui Yi’s lack of enthusiasm.

However, Wang Pu seemed quite fond of Sui Yi, thought for a bit, then said, "Sister Sui Yi, the fish in Bowl River are really fat lately~~ The water level has dropped too, want to join us in catching fish? Come with us~~~"

Though Pottery Kiln was known for its poverty in Nanxun, its reputation locally was more for the making of pottery bowls, and of course, there was also Bowl River, with its clean water and fat fish, unpolluted, beloved by locals, and by the time August and September rolled around, villagers would go fishing.

Today, the village men and children were all absent, mostly gone fishing.

Clearly, these town kids had also come with fishing in mind.

Not usually keen on such activities, Sui Yi heard this and glanced at Ah A, "Are you going?"

"I’ll go... otherwise, you’re going to send me away again~~" Ah A flashed a smile.
