Chapter 462 Persuaded
When Yu Yan heard this, she was touched. She felt that affection was the only reason a man would be willing to lower his head to his girlfriend in front of outsiders.

Yu Yan was happy, but Yao Nian was angry. He felt that his dignity as a man was being trampled on!

But everything was for the sake of him returning to the city! Yao Nian kept telling himself this in order to suppress the anger in his heart.

It was difficult to talk with so many people around. After Yao Nian and Yu Yan alighted in town, they went to the entrance of the commune to wait for the public bus to go to the county.

There was only one public bus from town to the county city. Usually, it would make two trips in the morning and two in the afternoon. During the holidays, it would make four more trips. However, there were many people entering the city, so the bus was very crowded.

!!
Yao Nian and Yu Yan couldn’t sit down, so they could only squeeze into a corner by the window. Yao Nian wanted to use physical contact with Yu Yan to deepen their relationship, so he held the car window with both hands and embraced Yu Yan.

Yao Nian was tall and strong, and his strength had increased from doing farm work in the field all day long. Yu Yan was protected by Yao Nian, so she wasn’t squeezed by other people. When she was in such close contact with Yao Nian, she suddenly recalled the night she was forcefully kissed by Yao Nian and her heart skipped a beat.

When Yao Nian lowered his head and saw Yu Yan’s red ears, he deliberately lowered his head and whispered into Yu Yan’s ear with a smile, “Yu Yan, are you going home for the new year?”

The two of them were very close. Yu Yan was a little distracted by Yao Nian’s masculine scent and couldn’t think properly. When Yao Nian asked her, she replied honestly, “No.”

Yao Nian asked curiously, “Your parents can’t get a permission slip to let you go home?”

Yu Yan shook her head. “No, I got the slip from their supervisor yesterday, but I don’t want to go back.”

Yao Nian frowned in confusion.

During the new year, people would go home to eat fish and meat, watch a movie, go to the park, and go to the department store. Any one of these reasons was enough to make intellectuals like them yearn to return to the city. Thinking of this, Yao Nian was a little worried that his parents wouldn’t be able to pull strings to let him go home for the new year.

Seeing that Yu Yan didn’t know how to enjoy life, Yao Nian was a little angry, but he still continued to ask patiently and gently, “Why? Did you have a conflict with your parents?”

Hearing Yao Nian’s question, Yu Yan regained some rationality from the ambiguous atmosphere Yao Nian had created.

Of course, she couldn’t tell him the real reason, which was that she wanted to make things difficult for her adoptive parents. For the time being, she didn’t want to expose the fact that they were not biologically related, so she decided to tell Yao Nian half of the truth. “They didn’t send me money in time previously, causing me to break my promise, so I feel upset.”

If Yu Yan fell out with her family, wouldn’t he have even less chance?

Yao Nian advised, “How can there be overnight feuds between children and parents? Your parents must have been panicking when they found out that your brother’s life was in danger. Besides, didn’t they immediately send money and packages as soon as they returned?”

“In order to compensate you, there was a lot of jerky and canned meat in that package. This means that they care about you. Besides, you were sick previously and injured your body, so if you go back and eat some good food, you can recuperate. Seeing you have gastric pain sometimes makes me feel very upset.”

When Yu Yan heard the mention of nourishing her body, she was a little tempted. She couldn’t eat too much now or go hungry. Otherwise, her stomach would immediately hurt so badly that it was as if someone had stabbed her stomach with a knife. Every day, when she looked in the mirror, her face would look sallow, which was completely different from her healthy and rosy appearance in the past.

After Yu Yan thought for a moment, she was convinced by Yao Nian and said, “Then I’ll go to the village tomorrow to get a permission slip. I’ll go back in three days.”

Yao Nian heaved a sigh of relief and smiled widely.

When Yu Yan saw Yao Nian’s happy expression through the reflection of the car window, she smiled and said, “Those who don’t know better would think that you’re the one returning to the city for the new year. By the way, did your parents get a permission slip for you?”

Yao Nian sighed. “There’s no news yet.”

Previously, Yao Nian had lied and said that his father was a supervisor in the factory, but his father was actually an ordinary worker.

Ordinary workers might not be able to pull strings because the person who issued the permission slip had to be responsible. If the intellectuals took the opportunity to run away and didn’t return to the village, the person who issued the permission slip would be implicated.
