The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Chapter 236: Roommate Don’t Come Over: Going Back to the Village for Vacation

By the end of the semester when Ye Jiaotang, the financial sponsor's companion, played with him, Li Xiaoyao's savings had reached as much as 50,000.

This money was enough to cover all his university tuition, and he also made up his mind not to work part-time in the cafeteria next semester. After all, he really didn't want to get up early anymore.

As soon as the final exam was over, Li Xiaoyao couldn't wait to return to the dormitory to pack his luggage and prepare to embark on the journey home the next day.

Xiao Nian asked expectantly, "Brother Ye, do you have any travel plans for the holidays?"

Ye Jiaotang replied listlessly, "I don't know. I'm not interested."

Xiao Nian continued to suggest: "How about going to the bar to relax tonight?"

Ye Jiaotang refused without even thinking: "No."

Jiang Huai snorted coldly and warned, "Xiao Nian, if you dare to go, I will tell Auntie immediately."

Xiao Nian was speechless for a moment, cursing in his heart: Jiang Huai, such a snitch!

Ye Jiaotang suddenly turned his head towards Li Xiaoyao and shouted loudly: "Xiaoyao!"

Li Xiaoyao turned around puzzledly, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Jiaotang said with a firm face: "Can I go back with you during the holidays?"

Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What on earth was this young master thinking? Did he want to go back with him and suffer hardships?

Li Xiaoyao kindly reminded him, "Brother Ye, are you sure you want to go back with me?"

"You have to understand, my family lives in the countryside. The conditions there are not as good as in the city. There's no air conditioning, no shopping malls, no entertainment venues. There are only bumpy dirt roads everywhere, and when it rains, it becomes extremely muddy..."

However, Ye Jiaotang's answer was extremely firm: "I'm absolutely sure!"

Ye Jiaotang had helped him a lot, so Li Xiaoyao couldn't refuse. He nodded and said, "Then Brother Ye, you can pack your luggage. I'm taking the high-speed train tomorrow morning. Send me your ID number and I'll book a ticket for you."

Ye Jiaotang nodded and handed his ID card directly to Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao bought him adjacent high-speed rail tickets.

Xiao Nian winked at Jiang Huai and whispered, "They are going to meet their parents!"

Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows: "Probably."

……

The next morning, Li Xiaoyao and his friend boarded the high-speed train.

Ye Jiaotang looked at the passing scenery outside the window with curiosity, while Li Xiaoyao was a little worried that Ye Jiaotang would not be used to it.

A few hours later they got off the high-speed train in the province, and they had to take a bus to get to the city.

The car was bumping along the winding road, but Ye Jiaotang didn't complain at all. He even took out his mobile phone to take pictures with great interest.

Li Xiaoyao felt a little tired and fell asleep quickly while leaning on Ye Jiaotang's shoulder.

Li Xiaoyao walked out of the bus station like a happy little bird, leading Ye Jiaotang to a hotel.

Ye Jiaotang stammered, "What...what are we doing here?"

Li Xiaoyao glanced at Ye Jiaotang, whose face was slightly red, and felt confused. He replied casually: "Of course we come to the hotel to stay overnight."

Ye Jiaotang was surprised and asked, "Ah? You haven't reached home yet?"

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Well, the bus back to the county town is sold out today, so we can only go home tomorrow."

You can take a taxi back, but it's too expensive and not worth it.

Realizing that he had misunderstood, Ye Jiaotang scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed dryly: "Haha... I see."

Li Xiaoyao went to the front desk and booked a double room for the two of them.

When Ye Jiaotang came out of the shower, he found that Li Xiaoyao had fallen asleep.

His eyes flashed, and he poured the water in the kettle onto the other bed, then tiptoed onto Li Xiaoyao's bed.

The next morning, Li Xiaoyao woke up slowly and found herself being held tightly in Ye Jiaotang's arms. She was stunned.

"Brother Ye, what are you doing..."

Ye Jiaotang hurriedly explained, "I accidentally wet the bed last night, so I came to squeeze in with you."

Li Xiaoyao suddenly understood: "Oh, so that's how it is."

"Brother Ye, it's getting late. We have to get up quickly and go to the bus station to catch the bus."

Ye Jiaotang responded: "Okay~"

After breakfast, the two boarded the bus to Geng County.

When the car was halfway through the journey, Li Xiaoyao suddenly shouted, "Master! I want to get off at the next intersection!"

The driver responded readily: "Okay~"

After the car stopped, Li Xiaoyao led Ye Jiaotang out of the car.

After getting off the car, Ye Jiaotang still looked confused.

Why get off in this remote place?

Li Xiaoyao took Ye Jiaotang to the intersection and found a stone to sit on.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Brother Ye, I sent a message to my dad. He's coming to pick us up, but he hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait here for a while."

Ye Jiaotang nodded and said, "Okay~"

Looking at the rolling hills around him, and the land planted with crops, Ye Jiaotang felt extremely curious.

……

Li Xiaoyao and Ye Jiaotang stood on the side of the road, anxiously waiting for Li's father to arrive.

Time passed by minute by minute, and they had been waiting here for nearly half an hour.

Just then, a dilapidated tractor slowly drove over, and sitting on the tractor was Li's father.

He saw Li Xiaoyao in the distance and shouted, "Xiaoyao! Come here, let's go home."

The sound carried far on the empty road.

When Li Xiaoyao heard his father's call, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

He pulled Ye Jiaotang beside him and dragged the heavy suitcase as they walked quickly towards the tractor.

Li's father looked at the two people approaching, his eyes first fell on Ye Jiaotang, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then, he immediately regained his smile and asked Li Xiaoyao cheerfully, "Xiaoyao, is this your classmate?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and nodded, then replied, "Dad, this is my roommate Ye Jiaotang. He came back with me to play for a few days."

Li's father quickly greeted him warmly: "Haha, so you are Xiaoyao's roommate. Welcome to our home. Hello, little classmate, I am Xiaoyao's father."

Ye Jiaotang was very polite and quickly responded, "Hello, uncle."

Li's father smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be polite. Come, I'll help you put your luggage in the car."

After saying that, he got out of the car nimbly, picked up the two suitcases, and easily moved them to the carriage behind the tractor.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao swiftly climbed onto the car first, then turned around and smiled at Ye Jiaotang, who was still standing there in a daze, "Brother Ye, stop being in a daze and get in quickly."

Ye Jiaotang came back to his senses and carefully climbed onto the tractor, imitating Li Xiaoyao's actions.

After both of them were seated firmly, Li's father returned to the driver's seat and skillfully started the tractor.

Accompanied by a series of rumbling sounds, the tractor slowly moved forward along the country road.

You can’t use your mobile phone on the tractor, so Li Xiaoyao can only look at the scenery.

A breeze blew across my face, bringing coolness and making my entire face rough.

Because it was a gravel road, Li Xiaoyao felt like his butt was about to be broken in two.

"Brother Ye, are you okay?"

Ye Jiaotang's lips curled up slightly and he replied, "I think it's good."

He liked this feeling of freedom, which was more exciting than when he was driving a sports car.

Li Xiaoyao gave him a thumbs up to express his admiration.

An hour later, the Li family finally arrived, like a warm harbor, waiting for the returnees to dock.

As soon as Li Dad parked the car, a chubby little boy climbed in like a cannonball, then threw himself into Li Xiaoyao's arms like a bird flying into the forest, shouting at the top of his voice: "Brother! Did you bring me a toy?"

A middle-aged woman walked out of the room, her voice as resounding as a bell, and shouted at the fat boy, "Li Xiaomai! Your brother is so tired, and you're still bothering him! Get down here right now!"

Li Xiaomai raised his head, his big round eyes like two black gems, looking at Li Xiaoyao, and asked pitifully, "Brother, do you find me annoying?"

Li Xiaoyao held his forehead helplessly, his teeth clattering as he said, "Li Xiaomai! If you don't get down, the toys will be gone!"

When Li Xiaomai heard this, he immediately climbed up from Li Xiaoyao like an agile monkey, and then got off the tractor quickly.

After Li Xiaomai got off the car, Li Xiaoyao limped down from the tractor. His butt seemed to be split into ten parts by Li Xiaomai's pounce, and he grimaced in pain.

Ye Jiaotang couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the boy rubbing his buttocks from time to time. It was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, rippling the surface. He asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Li Xiaoyao's face was as red as a cooked crab. He quickly shook his head and said with a straight face, "It doesn't hurt, not at all."

Mother Li looked at Li Xiaoyao distressedly and scolded her, "Oh, this child is just stubborn. Go back to the house and apply the medicine."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Jiaotang, the smile on her face like a blooming flower, and said enthusiastically: "You must be Xiao Ye, you are so handsome."

Ye Jiaotang replied politely, "Hello, Auntie."

Li's mother nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, you and Xiaoyao go back to the room and take a shower, then come out for dinner."

Ye Jiaotang smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you for your help, Auntie."

Li's mother waved her hands and said, "Hey, it's no big deal."

As she spoke, she called out to Li's father, "Old Li, come and light the fire for me."

Father Li responded immediately as if he had heard an imperial decree: "Come right away."

Li Xiaoyao took Ye Jiaotang back to his room.

Li Xiaoyao said with a little embarrassment: "Brother Ye, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid you will have to squeeze in with me these days! We really don't have any extra rooms at home." After saying that, he scratched his head.

Ye Jiaotang nodded readily, indicating that it was no problem.

In fact, he had just taken a rough look at the yard and saw that it was just an ordinary, slightly simple farmyard.

There are only two rooms in the main hall facing the main door, one is used as a living room and the other is a kitchen;

There is a small woodshed on the west side of the yard; and the wing rooms on the east side are even more clearly visible, with only three rooms in total.

Li Xiaoyao occupied the room on the right, and Li's parents lived in the room on the left. As for the room in the middle, he just glanced at it casually and found that it was a warehouse with all kinds of sundries piled up in it.

At this moment, Ye Jiaotang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this family was much poorer than he had expected!

No wonder Li Xiaoyao works so hard to make money.
