I feel like I don't want anything anymore.

Surprisingly, I'm actually starting to look forward to it now.

"Mm." She said softly, "Chen Yifei, you can come and propose when the time comes. It's okay if you're not prepared for what you said."

"Also, I don't want you to be so tired."

Since she'd already brought it up, she blurted it out: "I think after we get married, we can work hard together. There's no need to empty the family's coffers now just to buy me a radio, sewing machine, and a watch, disrupting my aunt and uncle's lives. What if you get exhausted too?"

She was genuinely worried about these things.

Hearing this, Chen Yifei couldn't help but tease her: "Then who are you to me? Why are you so worried about me?"

It was quite rare that He Runqing, this young educated youth, cared so much about him; Chen Yifei hadn't expected it either.

Upon hearing this, He Runqing was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say. After stammering for a while, he finally said, "I...I'm just worried about you."

Her voice grew softer and softer: "It's not just anyone you can worry about! Besides, you are the person I will rely on in the future."

She became incredibly shy towards the end.

He Runqing was raised with strict discipline and rarely spoke to men, nor did she know how to express herself, so she became accustomed to silence.

She was a little overwhelmed to find herself having so much to say to Chen Yifei today.

"Did I say something wrong?" She felt a little scared, not quite understanding Chen Yifei's temperament.

She felt it was inappropriate for a girl to say such a thing. As she was thinking about how to apologize, Chen Yifei moved closer to her, with a very sunny smile, so close that he could see the fine downy hairs on her fair face.

When the sunlight shines on it, it makes the person look dewy and very beautiful.

Chen Yifei couldn't control himself. Every move she made was adorable. She was incredibly beautiful and cute, yet unaware of it. He really wanted to pinch her cheeks and see if she was sweet.

No, it seems like it's more than that.

He's just a twenty-year-old boy, a bit impulsive and not very self-controlled, but he knows this place isn't suitable, so he has to control himself no matter what!

Chen Yifei had no choice but to take a few steps back.

He Runqing felt even more distressed as she watched him back away. Did he... not like her?

Do you feel uncomfortable getting close to them?

He Runqing felt a little uncomfortable. Dressed simply in a close-fitting white top, she lowered her head and took a step back, saying, "I... I'm sorry... I offended you."

Looking at the young educated youth's cautious demeanor, Chen Yifei asked, "Why is that?"

"It's not that I dislike you being close, it's just that I'm afraid if I get too close, I won't be able to resist..."

At this point, He Runqing looked at him blankly.

Chen Yifei lowered his eyes and leaned close to her ear: "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist kissing you."

"When dating, you need to keep your distance."

He Runqing was stunned upon hearing this.

I don't know what to do...

He only remembered that when Chen Yifei lowered his head just now, he felt a warm breath on his ear without realizing it. He didn't mean to tease him, but He Runqing felt his ear was itchy.

She was genuinely frightened by what she heard, and at the same time, she even imagined such a scene...

He quickly patted his head and turned to face the wall. He absolutely dared not look Chen Yifei in the eye now…

Chen Yifei handed her a metal food box: "Here, try this eight-treasure rice. I saw an old lady selling it on the road earlier."

"I don't know if it's as good as the ones in Shanghai, but you can still give it a try. At least it looks very similar."

Her heart was pounding, and she had a strange feeling at that moment, because he actually knew that she was from Shanghai.

She always wanted to try something given to her, no matter what. With her back to the wall, she opened the container, scooped it up with the spoon she had brought, and put it in her mouth.

Her little mouth was immediately stuffed full, and then she began to eat slowly and deliberately.

Chen Yifei found her eating adorable... It was strange; what was this girl made of? Why did she chew her food for so long?

In my past life, I never seriously observed any of them. But in this life, looking at the young educated youth, it feels like I'm learning about something new and exciting.

No, it should be that the young educated youth were different.

Her cuteness seems to be innate.

After taking a bite, she exclaimed happily, "Delicious!"

"Thank you, Chen Yifei. You remember my preferences. You're the only person who's remembered me in all these years."

She had been in the countryside for a long time. All the other educated youth came from different places, but she was the only girl from Shanghai. She liked to eat eight-treasure rice and also pork rib rice cake.

But... no one asked her, and no one knew, and she slowly, never told anyone about it.

Now, Chen Yifei is definitely that person, the one with whom he shares his joys and sorrows.

If I were to get married, that person would have to be Chen Yifei.

Slowly, a hint of determination appeared in her eyes.

Chen Yifei looked at her and just thought she was cute.

Strangely enough, young educated youth have an innate and adorable quality.

She seems to have her own thoughts behind every move and action. Although she is slow, she speaks and looks at people seriously, and she even has dimples when she smiles.

She always has big, bright eyes, but she seems a little dazed. When she's shy, she gets dizzy; when she's happy, she dances around with joy, her limbs practically speaking; when she's unhappy, she rests her chin on her hand and stares blankly.

These adorable young educated youths, I've memorized all their little expressions.

Chen Yifei felt that his fellow educated youth was different. In his previous life, he had seen many women, and many of them, when they saw a man, first considered the amount of money he had. She had a salary of 1,800 yuan, but she wanted to find someone who earned 18,000 yuan.

Seeing so many people around me who, after starting a relationship, would completely buy food, houses, and accommodations for another girl, ordering meals for her but always being late, I felt a pang of envy.

When asked what she likes to eat, she says "anything." But when the food arrives, she doesn't eat it and starts nagging her boyfriend. If she's even slightly unhappy, she shows him pictures of couples' bloggers online, saying, "You don't love me..."

In his past life, everyone around him was burdened by these messy relationships, which even affected their work. In the end, although they came to him to complain, they were still laid off by him.

Bad relationships always harm both the person involved and the person being hurt; it's best to end them promptly.

Chen Yifei didn't have many expectations for relationships either. Of course, his primary concern was his guilt towards He Runqing, which prevented him from considering anything else.

But even in this life, all he could do was save He Runqing's life and change the ending of their previous life. As for whether she liked him or not, he didn't care.

There are plenty of couples who sleep in the same bed but dream different dreams. He can't expect others to like him the same way, nor does he think that love is a wonderful thing; in fact, it can be somewhat dangerous, as it can cloud a person's judgment. He's also afraid of encountering the type of woman that the people around him in his past life had.

Choosing the wrong wife will inevitably affect one's career.
