Chapter 30: Step Aside and Let Me Handle That Villager 6

Gu Xiangdong thought about it and smiled to himself in satisfaction.

Recalling the past, he was filled with bitter reluctance—how could he possibly go back to that kind of life?

But there was a big problem right now: he had to drive a wedge between Yan Bai and Luo Shuisheng to prevent them from developing feelings for each other.

Even if Luo Shuisheng didn’t like him now, as long as Yan Bai was out of the picture, he would always have a chance to slowly win him over.

However, he had been reborn a little too late. He'd already been entangled with the village chief for two years, and they were currently in the honeymoon phase.

Breaking it off was definitely not something the village chief would agree to, especially since he'd gotten so much out of it. The only way was to pass the buck.

Suddenly, he had an idea: if he could give Yan Bai to the village chief, not only would he solve the Yan Bai problem, but he would also appease the village chief and make him let go. It was killing two birds with one stone.

But how could he make the two of them get together?

Yan Bai currently had no status in the village and no one to back him up. If he conspired with the village chief to scheme against him, there would always be a way.

Gu Xiangdong couldn’t get a word in, so he simply stopped talking. He just trailed behind the two of them, thinking about his plan. Before he knew it, they had reached the village entrance.

The Educated Youth point was on the left, while Luo Shuisheng’s home was on the right. Luo Shuisheng stopped and asked Yan Bai,

“Should I take the things to the Educated Youth point for you?”

Yan Bai said breezily,

“No, take everything to your house first. I know a little something about medicine and can take a look at your brother.”

Gu Xiangdong grew uneasy again. As far as he knew, Yan Bai didn’t know any medicine.

“Yan Bai, you shouldn't spout nonsense. How come I never knew you knew medicine? Messing around with a child’s health like this could easily lead to trouble.”

Although Yan Bai had many skills, memory loss meant he didn't know where they came from. Yet, these skills were ingrained in his bones.

Yan Bai glanced at him sideways, looking displeased. This guy kept causing trouble repeatedly, but his methods were so low-level they were laughable. Yan Bai was losing patience with even humoring him.

“My mother is a doctor, so it runs in the family. It'd be pretty hard not to pick some up. Is there a problem with that?

It feels like you don’t really want Luo Shuisheng’s brother to get better.

What are you scheming?”

Luo Shuisheng’s heart suddenly felt at ease. So Yan Bai’s mother was a doctor—no wonder she had prepared so many hard-to-come-by medicines for Yan Bai.

And Yan Bai knew medicine too—what a relief!

But Gu Xiangdong wasn’t doing so well. What kind of move was that?

Why was he exposing people’s cards like this?

Shouldn’t verbal sparring involve beating around the bush, making insinuations, and dealing in veiled terms?

How could he just say it outright!

How was he supposed to respond?

Why was Yan Bai so aggressive today?

Luo Shuisheng’s lips curled up—it had been many days since he'd been in such good spirits.

Yan Bai, utterly dominating, looked quite handsome!

But the opponent was clearly too weak, making it less entertaining to watch.

Luo Shuisheng gently tugged at Yan Bai’s sleeve.

“Then let’s go to my house first. I’ll take you back to the Educated Youth point later.”

Seeing such a tall, strong man make such a gesture, Yan Bai suddenly found it adorable and smiled a genuine smile.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Even with his thick skin, Gu Xiangdong couldn’t bring himself to tag along any longer.

Watching the two walk away, he stomped his feet in anger.

Nine-Tailed Fox was also stunned.

No way, no way, no way—did they fall in love at first sight?

Only when the two were out of sight did Gu Xiangdong angrily turn around. But not far away, he bumped into the village chief.

The village chief, named Feng Aiguo, was thirty-five years old—the prime age for a man. He was tall, with regular, pleasant features, making him quite good-looking.

He came from a well-off family and cared a lot about his image. Every time he went out, he was always neatly turned out, standing out from the other villagers.

Today, he wore a well-fitted Zhongshan suit, which looked brand new, as if freshly made. In this era, it was considered very fashionable.

Seeing Feng Aiguo for the first time since his rebirth, the trauma from his past life ran too deep. Gu Xiangdong couldn’t help but tremble.

But Feng Aiguo smiled kindly and spoke warmly.

“Educated Youth Gu, have you been out?”

Gu Xiangdong knew that whenever they were outside, Feng Aiguo always pretended to be respectable. It was only behind closed doors that he revealed his beastly nature.

He had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“I went to the county town.”

Feng Aiguo added,

“Oh, that’s good, that’s good. It’s nice to go out more.

Now that I've run into you, there’s something I need your help with. In a few days, we’ll start weaving wicker baskets, so we need to prepare and check if the tools in the storeroom are complete and if any need maintenance.

If you’re not busy, why don’t you come with me to the storeroom to take a look?”

Gu Xiangdong trembled reflexively again. Feng Aiguo’s meaning was clear—he wanted to go to the storeroom for *that*.

Ever since their affair began, the tasks assigned to him had always been light, like watching the storeroom, distributing tools, or keeping some accounts.

Next to the storeroom was an unused room with no windows, making it very secluded. Feng Aiguo had cleaned it up, installed a stove, and laid out a kang—a convenient place for the two to rendezvous in secret.

For two years, their relationship had been quite passionate.

Feng Aiguo was presentable, technically skilled, and a smooth talker. He had also taken good care of Gu Xiangdong in many ways over the past two years.

Although he was a bit too demanding in that area, wanting it almost every day, Gu Xiangdong wasn't exactly suffering.

But he knew such good days were coming to an end. About a year later, when Gu Xiangdong's last hope of returning to the city was gone, Feng Aiguo would turn into a monster.

That period was terrifying, and Gu Xiangdong still remembered it vividly, still terrified of him.

However, refusing was impossible. To refuse given their current relationship would be too strange, and besides, Gu Xiangdong still needed his help. He had already thought of a way to deal with Yan Bai and was about to discuss it with Feng Aiguo.

So he reluctantly agreed,

"I'm not busy. Let's go now. Don't want to hold up the production team."

Feng Aiguo immediately turned around and walked with him toward the village warehouse, chatting and laughing.

He acted perfectly normal, and no one could tell there was anything fishy between them.

On the way, they encountered a few villagers, and Feng Aiguo greeted them with a smile, showing no signs of guilt or nervousness.

In this regard, Gu Xiangdong was also in awe.

In his previous life, not a single villager had discovered their affair.

They soon arrived at the warehouse. As soon as the door was closed, Feng Aiguo pushed him into the small inner room, locked the door, and yanked off Gu Xiangdong's belt.

"Xiao Dong, I've missed you so much, and *it's* missed you too..."

After saying this, he eagerly pushed Gu Xiangdong down.

Gu Xiangdong half-heartedly resisted. Feng Aiguo was still gentle, but due to his memories from his past life, Gu Xiangdong felt a physical revulsion and could only force himself to endure.

Afterwards, Feng Aiguo held him and comforted him,

"What's wrong with you today? You seem down."

Gu Xiangdong forced a smile,

"Not at all. It's just that I found out something about Yan Bai's family in the city today, and it's been bothering me."
