Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Guarantee

Chuchu was taken aback for a moment, curbed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and looked closely, only to see a trace of tiredness on Jiang Kechu’s expression. She asked:

"What’s wrong? Didn’t you sleep well last night? The clay bed here is quite hard."

To Jiang Kechu, it felt like Wan Chu’er was evading what he had just said. Thinking of the scenes in his dream, he couldn’t help but say:

"Can we be together forever, is that okay?"

"Sure." In this life, she wouldn’t mess up; she wanted to hold hands with Jiang Kechu till old age.

After readily agreeing, Wan Chu’er giggled, tiptoed, and gave Jiang Kechu a peck. But Jiang Kechu took the opportunity to pull her in and deepened the kiss.

His strength was a bit forceful, making Wan Chu’er somewhat uncomfortable, so she tried to push him away, only to find that Jiang Kechu not only didn’t let go but held her even tighter, not allowing her to move at all.

It was as if he wanted to meld Wan Chu’er into his body.

Eventually, Wan Chu’er sensed something was amiss and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

After a while, Jiang Kechu finally said, "I had a bad dream last night, dreaming that you were going to leave me, ... even resorted to hurting yourself to force it."

Wan Chu’er felt her heart skip a beat, and her whole body froze.

Wasn’t this the foolish thing she had done in her past life! How could Jiang Kechu dream of it?

Without waiting for Wan Chu’er’s response, Jiang Kechu continued solemnly, "You must never do such foolish things in the future."

Listening to Jiang Kechu’s steady and strong heartbeat, Wan Chu’er calmed down, "No, I definitely won’t do such foolish things in this life. If I’m about to do something silly, you can just give me a good scolding."

Jiang Kechu showed a bitter smile; how could he bear to scold you? Seeing you suffer the slightest hardship or injustice is unbearable for me.

Still unconvinced, he released Wan Chu’er from his arms and looked at her seriously, saying:

"No, you need to promise me that you will never threaten to leave me again, and not hurt yourself."

Seeing the usually unshakable Jiang Kechu so uneasy, Wan Chu’er felt a complex mixture of emotions, truly she was his calamity, and felt a bit guilty.

She nodded earnestly, "I promise."

Jiang Kechu pulled Wan Chu’er back into his embrace, as if doing so could dispel some of the fear that the nightmare had brought him.

The two stood quietly by the roadside, not speaking.

"Ouch" Suddenly, a cry of surprise came, Jiang Kechu slightly frowned and let go of Wan Chu’er.

The two looked over and saw Li Jia awkwardly standing at the door, in a predicament whether to enter or leave.

Seeing them looking over, Li Jia said somewhat stiffly, "I’m sorry for disturbing you, Brother Jiang, Wan Chu’er."

Hearing this, Wan Chu’er raised an eyebrow; since when had Li Jia been so awkward and restrained in front of her, and so overly polite? There must be an issue.

Seeing Wan Chu’er not speaking, Jiang Kechu helplessly shook his head and gently said, "It’s fine, go about your business." He then planned to continue the morning workout with Wan Chu’er.

Seeing them about to leave, Li Jia quickly spoke up:

"Actually... there are quite a few villagers around, and people here always gossip behind others’ backs. So, Brother Jiang, you might want to be a bit more cautious, or it may not be good for your reputation, or for Wan Chu’er’s reputation."

Though it sounded well-meant, Wan Chu’er simply nodded. Regardless of what Li Jia’s actual intention was, she took it as a gesture of goodwill.

Jiang Kechu also said, "Thank you for your concern."

Li Jia immediately took the opportunity to say, "Brother Jiang, there were so many people yesterday, I didn’t get the chance to say thank you for your donation on behalf of the children here. The kids here really have it tough, and you don’t know how much help your donation has brought them..."

Seeing that they seemed to be about to continue chatting, Wan Chu’er spoke up indifferently, "We still need to go for a run."

The implication was that there was no time for idle chat.

Feeling Wan Chu’er’s displeasure, Jiang Kechu quickly told Li Jia as well, "We’ve got to go."

As soon as he said that, Wan Chu’er had already started running. Was she angry? Jiang Kechu hurriedly followed her.

Behind them, Li Jia watched their figures quickly disappear, her expression dark and obscure.

Jiang Kechu, observing Wan Chu’er’s stern face, asked with amusement, "What’s wrong? Who’s upset you? Is it that you don’t like that girl just now? If you don’t, then..."

Wan Chu’er turned her head and glared at him, "You’re the one who annoyed me."

What does anyone else matter!

Jiang Kechu blinked and then said, "Okay, it’s my fault. I won’t make you angry again. But could you tell me what I did wrong to avoid repeating it?"

Wan Chu’er snorted and said, "What did you promise me before? Without my permission, you’re not allowed to look at another woman or exchange a word with one."

To forget what one has just promised – truly infuriating!

And that Li Jia just now was obviously ill-intentioned, yet you got all cozy with her.

Jiang Kechu quickly realized Chu’er was angry about him talking to that girl and laughed, "I noticed you were silent, and I thought since she’s your classmate and you’ll be teaching here together for a week, I wanted to smooth things over for your sake, not to offend anyone."

He was always so considerate for her sake, Jiang Kechu always thought of everything.

Wan Chu’er no longer had an upset expression, and she said, "That girl is scheming and too proud for my liking. I’m indifferent towards her, so it doesn’t matter to me whether we get along or offend each other."

Jiang Kechu could only say, "Got it. I’ll ignore her from now on."

He never thought of persuading Wan Chu’er to befriend someone she disliked just for the sake of convenience. In his heart, Chu’er came first. Whatever she wanted to do, he was supportive.

Only then did Wan Chu’er nod in satisfaction.

Since they had dawdled earlier, they didn’t have much time left, so Wan Chu’er hurriedly ran a lap and then returned.

They had classes today and had to prepare to receive donated supplies; there would certainly be a lot to do.

Around ten in the morning, a military jeep arrived at the foot of Heyang Village mountain. The mountain road was too rugged, and the jeep couldn’t make it up. All the villagers, young and old, came out to meet them at the bottom of the mountain.

The driver, with whom Wan Chu’er had a passing acquaintance, was the man who had saved her on the night Li Gang drugged her.

The jeep was packed full of various stationery, books, and supplies. After unloading, it took two ox carts to carry everything, and the villagers were delighted.

Jiang Kechu, impatient with the donation ceremony and such, left Mr. Zhang and Principal Yu to preside over and give speeches.

After the donation ceremony was over, Chen Ke had a few private words with Jiang Kechu.

Jiang Kechu called Wan Chu’er over, and Chen Ke, with a goofy smile, repeatedly greeted her with "Sister-in-law, hello Sister-in-law."

Wan Chu’er responded graciously and once again thanked him for his previous rescue.

Chen Ke scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "It was all arranged by Captain Jiang."

Jiang Kechu said, "I have to go now; I’m sorry. I thought I could stay with you a few more days," showing a truly guilty expression.

Wan Chu’er couldn’t bear to see him guilty and quickly said, "Your work is more important. I’m already very happy that you could come here to see me."
