[You can't graduate from university if you can't swim, what did I say!]

[We're not allowed to bring chopsticks into the restroom at our school (awkward)]

[Our school just issued new rules this spring, banning alcohol. Because my roommate got drunk, he kissed the principal's bald head... while shouting, "Sun, why are you so bright!" Our whole dorm is so embarrassed (*?????)]

Jiang Chenzhou's cooking skills are really good, but it's also possible that Yu Qiuchi is tired these past few days. Xiao Youcai thinks it's very good!

Sure enough, if you don't eat this or that, you'll be fine after a few days of fasting! Labor makes us happy, both physically and mentally!

No way!

Yu Qiuchi felt he should have a good talk with Zhou Baixi, at least to ensure he would have money for food and a normal night's sleep in the next episode!

The sun hadn't actually set yet; it was still in the northwestern sky. The wind was just much cooler, not as stuffy as during the day.

[This feels so comfortable, the corpse looks very uncomfortable.]

[It would be even better if there were cold drinks available]

[It seems my wife has completely neglected her appearance.]

Yu Qiuchi sat on the steps of the earthen house, seemingly studying something. His clothes were almost impossible to wash properly; they were all white, just like when he first arrived, except today he wasn't wearing a coat, and the color had changed from black to blue.

"Qiuchi, want some watermelon?" Xie Tingsi handed over a slice of watermelon.

Yu Qiuchi looked up and saw Gu Xiaojun distributing watermelons to everyone: "Brother Junxiao, where did you get these watermelons?"

"The village chief gave them to us! They grew them themselves in the greenhouse, and they're so sweet!" Yan Qing answered first.

"Qiu Chi, what are you researching?"

Tang Ke saw Yu Qiuchi doodling on the ground with her phone after dinner, but he didn't know what she was doing.

Yu Qiuchi wiped her hands with the wet tissue that Song Yaozhuo handed her, took the watermelon and said, "I'm researching how to make shadow puppets."

"Shadow puppets? What's the point of making shadow puppets?" Xie Tingsi asked.

Song Yaozhuo looked down at Yu Qiuchi, who was eating watermelon: "Because of the old man?"

“Yes…but more than anything, I want to see it myself…” Yu Qiuchi said somewhat awkwardly.

"As for shadow puppetry, I know an author who specifically studied it for writing a book," Tang Ke said.

"Want to do it?" Jiang Chenzhou pulled Yu Qiuchi up from the steps and brought him a stool.

"I've done some research, and it should be possible... I'll give it a try," Yu Qiuchi said hesitantly.

"Let me help you." Yu Qiuchi was really dirty today, even his hair was covered in dust. Jiang Chenzhou felt bad for him and helped him tidy his hair.

Today, perhaps because of the labor involved, Yu Qiuchi was too excited and didn't pay any attention to her demeanor.

I didn't realize I'd actually turned into a mud cat.

Xie Tingsi shouted, "I can help Qiu Chi draw the pattern!"

"I'll help you find the materials." Gu Xiaojun gave the last piece of watermelon to Yu Qiuchi.

"Then I'll ask the author for some information."

"Me too!" Yan Qing didn't know what he could do, but he wanted to participate!

Song Yaozhuo did not express his opinion, but when he thought of the old man just now, he made up his mind to participate!

[Yan Qing is just like me when I was a kid. Back then, whenever we played together, I'd always want to get involved in whatever they were doing!]

[This dating reality show feels like it's turned into a farming reality show (scratching head). My head is so itchy, is it going to grow into my brain?!]

[Ahhh, this atmosphere feels so comfortable!]

As the sun sets, the stars slowly reveal their brilliance against the backdrop of crimson and deep blue sky.

The evening breeze was blowing gently. The creaking wooden stools and the square table full of stories were surrounded by seven young people who were discussing how to fulfill an old man's small regret.
