Chapter 65 Something big is going to happen

After that night, Anmin and Liang Yi's relationship grew even stronger.

When no one is around at night, the two of them like to hide away in their private space.

Liang Yi really liked the black soil in the space, and even bought a lot of seeds from outside.

They said that maybe next spring they'll be able to eat the food they grew themselves.

Anmin watched him busy with a smile, but also felt somewhat helpless.

He's only thirty years old, but he lives like he's in his sixties or seventies.

Liang Yi didn't care at all. He had never seen such fertile land before. It would be a real waste not to plant something on it.

However, Anmin recently noticed that something seems a little off.

Even Liang Yi told her to stop going to the space and to hide all the things in the house.

"what happened?"

An Min was somewhat surprised, and Liang Yi only whispered, "Something might be going to happen."

Without Liang Yi needing to say more, An Min immediately understood.

Liang Yi's reminder was very helpful, so An Min took the time to move all her belongings from her home to the space.

These past few days at work, Anmin has been very careful, afraid that the investigation will find her guilty.

However, what was bound to happen still happened.

That day, urgent knocking and shouting broke into the courtyard.

The search party has arrived.

Anmin's heart leaped into her throat, her fingertips turning icy cold.

She subconsciously looked at Liang Yi, only to see that he looked perfectly normal, even slowly adjusting the collar of his military uniform.

"It's okay, sit down."

He spoke in a low voice, as steady as a rock.

Anmin sat down almost stiffly, watching those people enter the house.

"Commander Liang, we received a report and are just going through the motions. Please understand."

Hearing them say that, Liang Yi nodded slightly: "I understand, it's alright."

They were just being polite; how could we take it seriously? Just because he said no, did they really stop investigating?
These people were polite and didn't go too far.

After all, they wouldn't do something that wouldn't yield any results and would also offend people.

There was a sound of rummaging through the room.

Anmin's heart was in turmoil, as if she were being tossed around in a winnowing basket.

Seeing them rummaging through the book box, An Min's expression immediately turned sour.

She suddenly remembered the book she had read a few days ago, which she had casually stuffed into her clothes, and now she had completely forgotten about it!
He pulled out his own few Dacron shirts and casually draped them over the back of the chair.

At this moment, Anmin felt both anxious and ashamed.
The search team looked around inside and out, but didn't find the "contraband" they were looking for. The leader said a few indifferent words like "be vigilant" and finally left with his men.

As soon as the door closed, the small house was instantly filled with a suffocating silence.

Anmin looked at the somewhat messy room, and then thought back to the thrilling experience she had just had.

“Liang Yi…”

Her voice was choked with emotion, and her fingers twisted the hem of her clothes helplessly.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault... I was so careless and dragged you into this."

Liang Yi didn't say anything, but walked a few steps to her.

Instead of scolding her, he took out a square-shaped object wrapped in oil paper from the inner pocket of his uniform and stuffed it into her hand.

Anmin opened it in a daze and saw a brand new "Barefoot Doctor's Manual".

"Here."

Liang Yi's voice carried a subtle hint of reassurance.

Anmin looked up abruptly, tears still welling up in her eyes.

Liang Yi reached out and gently wiped away the moisture from the corner of her eye with his calloused fingertips. The movement was a little clumsy, but very warm. "Silly girl," he said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The political director's book is just something I 'study' here. What are they investigating? It was moved a couple of days ago. Don't overthink it."

He spoke casually, as if he were talking about something perfectly natural.

Anmin clutched the "manual" wrapped in oil paper, looking at his calm face, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"What's going on lately? It wasn't like this before..."

As she said this, Anmin looked around, as if afraid of being discovered.

Liang Yi paused and glanced outside.

"It's going to change."

Just a few days after the search turmoil subsided, and before An Min could fully relax, an unexpected piece of news spread like wildfire.

Liang Yi is getting promoted.

The specific location and position to be promoted to have not yet been officially announced, but the message from above is very clear.

This news surprised and delighted Anmin, but she was also a little confused.

The situation outside is so tense, how come Liang Yi is the one who gets the good news?
She couldn't help but ask him, but Liang Yi just shook his head, his eyes holding a depth that An Min couldn't understand.

"A tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. There are reasons for this above, so let's just focus on doing our own thing well."

Having survived that close call, the two of them actually grew even closer.

During the day, in public, they are a well-behaved and respectable couple.

But at night, with the doors and windows closed and the curtains drawn tight, this small room becomes their only safe haven.

With a thought, An Min and the two of them vanished silently from their spot and entered the space.

The space is always filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass, a stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere of the outside world.

Liang Yi treated the black soil like a treasure and began to tend to it.

Anmin watched his back as he squatted there studying the seeds and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hey, Commander Liang, you're only in your early thirties, why are you acting like a retired cadre, all you think about is farming?"

Liang Yi didn't even look up, his tone matter-of-fact: "Such good land is wasting if we don't plant anything on it! This is called being prepared for a rainy day, don't you understand?"

He patted the dirt off his hands, stood up, and had a satisfied smile on his face.

"If we want to eat anything fresh in the future, we can make it ourselves."

Anmin smiled and shook her head, but felt a warmth in her heart.

This space became their most peaceful secret garden during those turbulent years.

However, this stability did not last long.

A few days later, Liang Yi's expression turned serious again.

When he entered the space that evening, he didn't go to see his precious black soil as usual. Instead, he grabbed Anmin, his expression unusually solemn.

An Min's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong? Again...?"

Liang Yi frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Something might be going to happen."

He paused, then added, "This time, they're probably more interested in me."

Without him needing to explain further, Anmin immediately understood.

With a storm brewing, Liang Yi's promotion instead of demotion makes him an easy target.
Liang Yi's reminder was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the sense of comfort she felt from the space.

Anmin couldn't understand why they were coming back this time when they hadn't found anything last time.
But having learned from her previous experience, Anmin threw everything into her spatial storage.

She felt that someone was deliberately targeting them.

Why investigate them instead of others?
Anmin couldn't take it anymore; she had to find a way to expose the mastermind behind this.

In the days that followed, Anmin became exceptionally cautious.

Liang Yi comforted her, telling her not to be so nervous, otherwise she would break down before anything even happened.

But Anmin is far from at ease now, fearing something might happen.
