[Host, the completion rate of the mission has reached 99%. This time the speed is too fast. We will be able to leave this world soon.] Xiao San's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking his heart fiercely.

His fingers trembled, and the happiness he had just felt disappeared.

He looked at the brightly smiling boy in front of him, and a feeling of panic spread through his body.

He suddenly hugged the person in his arms with amazing strength, as if he wanted to rub Yang Rui into his body.

"Brother Yue...what's wrong with you?" Yang Rui was frightened by Shen Yan's action and didn't know what to do. He looked at Shen Yan, whose face had turned pale, and suddenly became at a loss.

"Are you feeling unwell? Let's go to the hospital..." Yang Rui said as he tried to push Shen Yan away, but Shen Yan hugged him even tighter, as if he wanted to rub him into his body.

Yang Rui struggled a few times in his arms, but finally calmed down.

Shen Yan said nothing, just hugged Yang Rui tightly.

It was not until he saw the tears in Yang Rui's eyes that his emotions slowly stabilized.

He loosened the hug and gently wiped away the tears from Yang Rui's eyes, his eyes full of heartache.

"Okay, stop crying. I'm fine. It's all my fault. I scared you, didn't I?" Shen Yan's voice was full of self-blame and regret.

Yang Rui shook his head. "No, Brother Yue, I'm just worried about you. What happened to you? Why are you suddenly like this?"

Shen Yan was silent for a while before he slowly said, "My body is fine. I just thought of a scene just now. I may not be able to be with you in the future, so I feel scared."

Although this reason was far-fetched, he really couldn't come up with any lie to deceive Xiaorui.

Yang Rui felt sad when he heard this. He knew that Brother Yue was not telling the truth, he was just looking at him.

Tears flowed uncontrollably again.

He hugged Shen Yan and whispered, "Brother Yue, don't be afraid. I won't leave you. I will always be with you, no matter what happens."

Shen Yan also hugged Yang Rui and nodded.

At night, Yang Rui, who was originally asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

He turned over and glanced at Shen Yan who was sleeping soundly beside him.

He stroked his face gently, then bent down and kissed him softly.

The kiss was not passionate, but it was full of affection.

Yang Rui lay there quietly, feeling Shen Yan's breathing and heartbeat, his heart filled with warmth and peace.

The next day, they woke up and everything was back to normal, as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

Yang Rui pulled Shen Yan to go watch the pig being slaughtered, and Shen Yan had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Yang Rui was wearing a newly made cotton-padded jacket with a navy blue coat on the outside.

He was wearing the warm hat bought by Shen Yan and his face was filled with excitement.

Shen Yan followed behind him, carrying a basket in his hand.

They walked through the village path and came to the village activity field.

This was an open space surrounded by a fence, with some tools and pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

A group of children ran over excitedly, circled the pig several times, and shouted, "Kill the pig! Kill the pig!"

Yang Rui pointed at the three pigs that were about to be slaughtered and said excitedly: "Look, these pigs this year are really fat!!"

Shen Yan nodded helplessly. He actually didn't like this kind of bloody scene, but since Yang Rui was so excited, he didn't want to spoil his fun.

Just then, several villagers came over with knives and hooks and began to prepare to kill the pig.

Uncle Wang from the village had prepared everything. He picked up a sharp knife and stabbed the pig's neck hard.

The pig screamed and blood spurted out. Yang Rui watched with great interest, making a "tsk tsk" sound.

Several aunties were vying for the pig's blood.

Time passed quickly and the pig-slaughtering process was over in the blink of an eye.

The villagers hung the pork on the rack and began to clean the pig's internal organs.

The village chief and the team leader also came over and saw everyone gathered together and shouting.

"Everyone line up, come one by one, every family has one." Everyone looked at the fat pig and laughed happily.

Yang Rui squeezed to the front of the line, but Shen Yan and the educated youth consciously lined up at the back.

Every year when pigs were slaughtered, the educated youth would always be the last in line, otherwise the locals would not let them, after all, this was the only time they could eat pork in a year.

However, the villagers were not too xenophobic towards the educated youth, nor were they particularly mean to them.

We have all been through hard times, we know how difficult life is, and we can all understand it.

The educated youth also respected the villagers, so everyone got along well with them.

"Adults get one pound each, and children get half a pound. Which seat do you want from the Wang family?" The village chief asked the sturdier woman in front of him next to the pork.

"There are five adults and four children in my family, so that's seven pounds of meat. I want this piece." The other party pointed to the area with thick fat and said.

"Isn't that right? Wang's family, you have three grandsons, so where did four come from?" The woman in the back was unhappy.

Not only had he picked up all the good seats, he even faked the number of people.

"Yes, Wang's family, we know how many people are in your family, so stop talking nonsense." The captain also glared at her.

"Captain, I'm not talking nonsense. My wife is pregnant. Doesn't that mean there's one more person?" Mrs. Wang shouted even louder.

"According to what you said, if both of my family members are pregnant, then we should be given an extra pound."

"Yes, my wife is also pregnant." People around started talking about it.

The village chief and the team leader looked at each other and then nodded.

"Okay, stop arguing, stop yelling. Those who haven't been born don't count. Those who want meat can line up, and those who don't want it can go back." The village chief glared at them and said it.

Mrs. Wang wanted to say something more, but after seeing the look in the village chief's eyes, she closed her mouth.

By the time it came to Shen Yan, the meat in the good spots had basically been divided up.

"Gu Zhiqing, which piece do you want?"

Shen Yan pointed to the cleaned large intestine and asked, "Uncle, can you give me this large intestine?"

Uncle Wang felt a little embarrassed and turned to look at the village chief.

The village chief saw that it was Shen Yan, and nodded immediately: "Give it to him if you have nothing to do. This thing doesn't have much oil and water. Normally, one catty is equivalent to two catties."

"Okay, put it in this basket, right?" Uncle Wang put the large intestine into the basket that Shen Yan lifted up.

"Thank you, uncle and the village chief."

Liu Zhiqing asked in confusion: "Gu Zhiqing, why do you want this large intestine? The piece of meat in the front is also good." He looked at the large piece of pig intestine in Gu Zhiqing's hand, feeling a little puzzled.

This thing is difficult to wash and has a strong smell, so most people don’t like it.
