Chapter 262 Shen Nian invites Gu Yanqing to eat noodles

Gu Yanqing held the reins of the ox cart steadily. In the night, his eyes looked particularly gentle.

He gently responded to Shen Nian: "Okay, I'll go to the chicken farm after the ox cart is set up."

The two men drove the ox cart to the cowshed. When Wang Yiming and Zhou Zhenhua heard the sound, they hurried out.

When Shen Nian saw the two uncles coming out, he said to Gu Yanqing, "Yan Zhiqing, you go now, we will take care of the rest."

"Okay, I'll go now." Gu Yanqing said, handed the rope in his hand to Wang Yiming, and ran away.

Wang Yiming watched him run away and asked Shen Nian in confusion: "Xiao Nian, where is he going?"

"Uncle Wang, I was worried that Uncle Gu and the others would be worried that we wouldn't be able to sleep, so I asked Yan Zhiqing to help me tell Uncle Gu and the others that the chicken thief has been sent to the police station and we are fine." Shen Nian explained.

Wang Yiming nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "I do need to tell your Uncle Gu and the others. They must be very worried."

Zhou Zhenhua also said, "What happened tonight was truly thrilling. Thanks to those dogs you raised, Xiao Nian. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

Shen Nian nodded in agreement, a look of relief in his eyes: "Fortunately, we have Zhaocai and Jinbao, otherwise if something happened in the chicken farm, we wouldn't be able to get there in time."

"Xiao Nian, you must be tired after being busy all night. Go back and have a rest. Your Uncle Zhou and I are here and we will finish cleaning up in a short while." Wang Yiming tied the cow to a wooden stake in the yard and turned to Shen Nian and said.

Shen Nian nodded gratefully: "Okay, then thank you Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhou. I'll go back first, and you should get some rest early."

Meanwhile, Gu Yanqing trotted through the night, running towards the chicken farm. The moonlight cast a long shadow on him, making him look even taller.

In the chicken farm, Gu Jianhua and Su Dingyi were waiting anxiously. As soon as they heard Gu Yanqing's voice, they couldn't wait to come out.

"Yan Qing, you are finally back. Are you okay?"

Su Dingyi's voice was full of concern. The flashlight flickered across her face, reflecting the worry and uneasiness in her eyes.

Gu Yanqing was panting slightly, but with a smile on his face: "It's okay, Dad, Mom, the person has been handed over to the police. Next we just have to wait for the result."

Su Dingyi heard this, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell. She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest:

"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. You haven't come back yet, and your dad and I have been waiting here anxiously, worried that something might happen to you on the way."

Gu Yanqing took a step forward and patted Su Dingyi's shoulder gently: "Mom, don't worry, we are back, aren't we? You and Dad should also go to bed early. We can talk about anything tomorrow."

Gu Jianhua nodded and comforted Gu Yanqing: "Okay, I'm glad you're alright. Yanqing, you should go back and rest early, your mother is here with me."

Gu Yanqing responded and comforted the two of them for a few more words before turning around and leaving the chicken farm and walking towards the Youth League Home.

However, when he reached the fork in the road leading to Shen Nian's house, Gu Yanqing, who was supposed to go straight, turned a corner for some unknown reason and his feet involuntarily moved towards Shen Nian's house.

He stood outside Shen Nian's house, hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door gently.

When Shen Nian came back, he felt a little hungry. He had just cooked a large bowl of noodles in the space and was about to sit down to eat when he heard someone knocking on the gate.

She came out of the space, put the noodles on the kang table, stood up and opened the courtyard door, only to see Gu Yanqing's figure appear in her eyes.

Shen Nian didn't expect Gu Yanqing to come over. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he asked, "Yan Zhiqing, why are you here?"

Gu Yanqing pursed his lips lightly and said, "I just came from the chicken farm and wanted to come over to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian nodded, indicating that he understood.

She noticed that Gu Yanqing didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately, and wondered if he was waiting for her to keep him for some noodles.

There was a brief silence between the two. Gu Yanqing seemed to sense Shen Nian's intention to drive him away, so he said:

"Then... then I'll go back. Shen Zhiqing, you should go to bed early." After saying that, he slowly turned around and prepared to leave.

Shen Nian thought that there was too much noodles in the big bowl he cooked, and then he thought that the person in front of him was probably a little hungry like him.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian couldn't help but ask, "Are you...hungry?"
