Su Wen paused, casting a discerning gaze at Yao Fang, her eyes betraying a subtle surprise at Yao Fangâs unexpected display of integrity.
Under the scrutiny of Su Wenâs penetrating stare, Yao Fang felt a sense of unease. âWhat are you looking at? Iâm not letting you go for your good. If something happens to you, who will I ask for money from?â
âThatâs true!â Su Wen chuckled at her thoughts. After straightening up, she positioned herself by the door with a flashlight, patiently awaiting Zhou Hengyang.
âAre you going?
âYes, I have to go.â Su Wen glanced at Yao Fang and raised her eyebrows. âAfter tonight, you might not have to run away with anyone.â
Yao Fang was taken aback by the implications of Su Wenâs words, her face paling. âWhat do you mean?
âNothing,â Su Wen casually deflected. âItâs not easy for a woman,â she remarked casually, âItâs harder for a widow. Itâs even more challenging if a widow wants to run away with a man. Itâs fine if the man can be relied on, but what if he canât?â
Su Wen leaned forward abruptly as she posed the last question.
Yao Fang took a step back, her eyes growing hesitant. âThink about it. If life becomes tough, and there are numerous temptations in the outside world, what would the man who runs away with you do?â
âWhat will he do?â Yao Fang asked involuntarily.
âMaybe heâll coerce you into selling yourself to support him, or maybe heâll abandon you to climb the social ladder? Or perhaps heâll find someone younger and more easily deceived?â Su Wen thought of the Su familyâs fate in the novel and chuckled at herself.
She wasnât trying to frighten them, she was responding to Yao Fangâs earlier remarks.
It would be in Yao Fangâs best interest to heed Su Wenâs advice. If she couldnât, then it was her fate.
She couldnât blame anyone.
âImpossible. Heâs not that kind of person. Itâs impossible.â The more Yao Fang considered it, the more agitated she became. Yet, for some reason, Su Wenâs words seemed to be etched in her mind, becoming clearer.
âHow is it impossible?â
As Su Wen spoke, Zhou Hengyang approached. Her eyes lit up when she saw his outfit, filled with admiration.
He was exceptionally handsome!
Though aware of Hengyangâs attractiveness and height, the new attire added a layer of cold and domineering charm. He was simply captivating.
Zhou Hengyangâs suit resembled his military uniform before retiring. The style and quality were different from common attire, making it clear that wearing a retired military uniform was a source of pride in the 1970s.
The outfit worn by Zhou Hengyang was designed for ease of movement, the kind that would effortlessly blend into the woods, making it nearly impossible to spot anyone. Devoid of any distinctive markings or identifiers, it was evident that this attire was not meant to draw attention or break any taboos.
Masculine, tall, handsome, coolâŠ
Su Wen was so attracted to him that she couldnât look away.
âCough cough!â Zhou Hengyang cleared his throat, drawing Su Wenâs wandering thoughts back.
âUhâŠâ Su Wen concealed her embarrassment and gestured towards Zhou Hengyang. âAsk him. Men understand men best.â
Yao Fang, uneasy in front of Zhou Hengyang, glanced at him nervously. Unlike Su Wen, she couldnât let her guard down.
Zhou Hengyang glanced at Su Wen and said in a serious tone, âA man who chooses to run away with a woman is not a good man..â
