Chapter 723: Chapter 723: I Missed You, So I Came to See You

Tong Yan set off in the morning, taking a plane, then a bus, and even walked a stretch of mountain road before reaching this small mountain. It was already nearing evening.

No wonder Jiang Cheng couldn’t find it; in such a remote place, how could he!

The small mountain village is situated in the mountains, with only three buses a week to the town, allowing the villagers to buy some daily necessities. It is quite remote.

When Tong Yan saw Jiang Yu, she was just in the middle of teaching a class to the children.

She stood by the large window, watching.

It had been a long time since she had last seen Jiang Yu, and she seemed to have changed.

She appeared taller, and a bit rounder; the naivety between her brows seemed gone, replaced by a serene and peaceful demeanor, completely different from the previously jittery and haggard Jiang Yu.

This version of her was also completely different from Le Fei in the drama, but it’s difficult to change a person’s character.

Jiang Yu finished assigning homework to the students and the class ended.

After packing up the textbooks, she was ready to leave when she saw Tong Yan at the doorway.

"Clang!" The books in her hand fell to the ground, and she was completely stunned.

At that moment, it was as if time had come to a standstill.

Tong Yan walked over, crouched down, and picked up the books from the ground: first-grade textbooks on Chinese, Math, English, all with detailed notes, clearly showing she was wholeheartedly teaching these children.

At that moment, she started to doubt whether coming here was right or wrong.

"Teacher Xiao Yu, you’ve worked hard."

After a long time, Jiang Yu spoke, "Sister Yanyan, why have you come?"

Tong Yan handed the books back to her, "It’s been so long, I missed you, so I came to see you. What, can’t I?"

Jiang Yu shook her head, "No, no, just very surprising."

The two of them walked side by side down a muddy path, not easy to traverse. Passing students would respectfully say to Jiang Yu, "See you tomorrow, Teacher Jiang."

"See you tomorrow."

"These kinds of days... are quite nice."

Jiang Yu smiled, gazing into the distance, "Indeed, teaching these little kids, seeing their smiles, it’s like all troubles are forgotten. The villagers are grateful I stayed to teach their children, but they don’t know I should be thanking them. They healed me. If not for them, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."

Those past events, those terrible memories, seemed to disappear in such daily life.

Tong Yan patted her shoulder, "Teacher Jiang, you’ve done a great job."

"Sister Yanyan, don’t make fun of me." Jiang Yu lowered her head shyly, then looked up, her smile fading a little, "Sometimes, the villagers, for food, have to carry tens of kilograms of goods down the mountain just to exchange for some grain. There are many rocks here, and when it rains heavily, the stones collapse, turning all their hard work to nothing. When I think about it, my things, compared to the villagers, count for nothing, absolutely nothing."

Tong Yan didn’t speak, just quietly listened.

Perhaps she had been holding it in for too long, Jiang Yu talked and talked until they reached where she lived, then stopped.

The accommodation was very basic, a yellow earthen tile house, not far from the door was a well, to the left a table with a few stone stools. The house was not big, with few things inside, a few chairs, a table, a cabinet, and a bed, beside it was a small kitchen and toilet.

"Letting Sister Yanyan see a joke; there’s nothing here." Jiang Yu poured a cup of tea for her.
