Chapter 24 Cotton-padded Jacket

The half bowl of meat soup in her hand seemed to have lost its taste.

Gu Yun glanced at You Ming across from her, and saw that he was looking at her gently, with many emotions in his deep eyes that she could not understand.

Even in this shabby hut, he could not hide his temperament.

The environment here and his temperament were so incompatible. Why would such a person encounter such a thing... and end up like that in his previous life...

She forced herself to suppress the bitterness in her heart. In this life, she must protect him. Gu Yun said to herself silently in her heart.

Gu Yun finished the soup in the bowl before she reacted. The rabbits caught in the back mountain? Has You Ming been to the back mountain?

I exchanged food with Cao Kaijin at noon, and I don't know if he saw it.

When she thought of this, she felt guilty for some reason. She didn't want him to see her doing something bad. So she asked You Ming, "Comrade You, when did you go to the back mountain?"

When You Ming heard Gu Yun ask this, he paused for a moment, and then replied calmly, "I saw you and Cao Zhiqing at noon. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't come out to say hello to you."

He saw it!

Gu Yun suddenly had the urge to curse. She had only exchanged food with Cao Kaijin three times in total. How could he see it this time? If he saw her doing something illegal, would he think she was a scheming bad woman?

But what does it mean that I don't want to disturb her and Cao Zhiqing?

Wait... Gu Yun's eyes widened suddenly.

He wouldn't think that there was something going on between her and Cao Kaijin, would he? If he really thought that there was something unusual between her and Cao Kaijin, and she kept coming to him... then wouldn't he think that she was the kind of woman who would flirt with him?

Gu Yun was completely panicked when she thought of this. She looked at You Ming's calm expression, fearing that he really misunderstood. She quickly explained to him: "What do you mean by disturbing or not disturbing, Comrade You, there is nothing between Cao Zhiqing and me. We had something to do today, so we talked in the back mountain. Normally, we don't talk to each other at all."

You Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he said "hmm" faintly. But he was unconsciously relieved in his heart, mixed with a slight joy.

He couldn't tell why there was such a change in his mood. Was it because he heard Gu Yun say in person that she and Cao Zhiqing had nothing to do with each other? Or was it because Gu Yun specifically explained this matter to him?

Why did he care so much about her and Cao Zhiqing's affairs, and even felt some hidden joy after hearing her explanation? Obviously, these were her private affairs that had nothing to do with him.

Gu Yun wanted to explain, she felt that You Ming's reaction seemed to be that he didn't believe that she and Cao Kaijin had nothing to do with each other. Yes, a man and a woman alone had to go to the back mountain to talk about something behind people's backs. It seemed that it was really hard to make people believe it. She was a little anxious. Why not just tell him that she and Cao Kaijin were exchanging food in the back mountain? Gu Yun was thinking whether it would be better to give people a worse impression by reselling or to let him have a misunderstanding like this?

You Ming looked at Gu Yun's fair little face. She still had a faint panic on her face, as if she was very anxious to make him believe. What was she panicking about? Was she afraid that he would misunderstand that she and Cao Zhiqing had that kind of relationship?
