Du Wanying was very surprised when she saw Xu Wenhan. Didn’t he go home with Grandma Xu? Why was he back again?

"I'm free, what's up?"

"I...can we go out and talk?" Xu Wenhan was so nervous that he started stuttering.

Xu Wenhan had helped her many times, so Du Wanying would feel embarrassed to refuse him. It was okay for them to just go out and chat.

"Okay, where to?"

"Just wander around, okay?"

"Okay, let's go."

After Du Wanying finished speaking, she followed Xu Wenhan out. Xu Wenhan didn't say a word along the way.

He just secretly glanced at Du Wanying from time to time, which made Du Wanying very curious about what Xu Wenhan wanted to say.

Could it be... If so, you should make it clear as soon as possible and not waste other people's time. You should give out the good guy card in a timely manner.

Thinking of this, Du Wanying took the initiative to ask: "Comrade Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I...I...this..."

Du Wanying: It seems that she still needs to take the initiative to ask, otherwise, when will Xu Wenhan tell her?

"What's wrong with you? There's no outsider here, just say whatever you want to say."

Xu Wenhan seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly reached into his arms and pulled it out with force.

As Xu Wenhan pulled out his hand, the sky was filled with a rain of petals, red, pink, and yellow, which fluttered down on the two of them.

Du Wanying had a thousand questions in her mind. She couldn't believe that Xu Wenhan had this talent?

Du Wanying didn't think anything of it, but this made Xu Wenhan extremely anxious. He just stared blankly at the only remaining flower stem in his hand. These were the roses that he had specially run more than ten miles to pick today, and it was raining like this?

Xu Wenhan quietly hid the rose, of which only the stem was left, behind him and looked at Du Wanying awkwardly.

"Comrade Du, I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to say sorry?"

"I..."

"Just tell me what you want to say. I'm listening."

Xu Wenhan mustered up his courage, closed his eyes, and shouted out loudly: "Comrade Du...Comrade Du, I love you."

Du Wanying: It was just as she thought, but she already had someone in her heart, so she definitely couldn't agree to Xu Wenhan. She also didn't want to keep him hanging, so it was better to just refuse directly.

"Comrade Xu, I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."

Du Wanying spoke directly and clearly, without any hesitation.

Hearing Du Wanying's words, Xu Wenhan clenched his hands, which were holding the flower stalks behind his back, even tighter, and his expectant eyes dimmed in an instant.

After thinking it over again and again, he was afraid that he had just heard it wrong, so he mustered up the courage to ask again: "Do you... do you already have someone you like?"

"Yes, Comrade Xu, I already have someone I like. Sorry."

Hearing this answer again, Xu Wenhan was stunned and the flower pole behind him slipped down.

"No...it's okay, as long as you like it."

"Okay, then I'll go home if there's nothing else. You should go home early too." Du Wanying had finished speaking, and she didn't feel any burden in her mind, so she turned around and walked home.

If I don't leave immediately at this time, it will easily give Xu Wenhan the wrong impression, so I'd better get away as soon as possible.

After Du Wanying left, Xu Wenhan still stood there without leaving.

"How come she has someone she likes? Who is it? When did it happen? How come I don't know?"

"No, no, these are all excuses. Maybe Wanying doesn't want to get married so soon. Yes! That must be it!"

Xu Wenhan still couldn't recover until Du Wanying was gone for a long time. Du Wanying was the first person he liked and bravely confessed his love to, but unfortunately they were not destined to be together.

No way!! He couldn't just give up like that. After all, he hadn't heard that Du Wanying already had a boyfriend. If she didn't have a boyfriend, that meant he still had a chance.

Thinking of this, Xu Wenhan perked up again and walked quickly towards home. He had to go to his father for advice and ask him how he had married his mother.

On the other hand, Du Wanying, who had returned home, was thinking, this incident must have been a big blow to Xu Wenhan, right?

I hope he can get over it soon! But I still need to distance myself from him for the time being, otherwise it will be terrible if he misunderstands me again.

Thinking of Xu Wenhan’s confession just now, Du Wanying’s mind popped up the shadow of Jiang Yufeng.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she wants to mail some things to Jiang Yufeng.

When Du Wanying thought of Jiang Yufeng, her face slowly turned red. After several months of correspondence, they became closer and closer.

But she is still young, so the two of them didn't make it clear.

If you want to send something to Jiang Yufeng, it is better to send something that can be stored for a long time.

After thinking about it, Du Wanying decided to make some shrimp paste and beef paste and send it to Jiang Yufeng, and also bring some pancakes along. On the one hand, these things can be kept for a long time, and on the other hand, they are easy to eat, as they can be eaten by simply rolling them up in a pancake.

(Du Wanying learned from a letter Jiang Yufeng sent that he would not be returning home for the Lunar New Year this year.)

Du Wanying got to work right away. She first prepared the ingredients for beef sauce and shrimp paste and then started to get busy.

In fact, eating some bacon and sausages during the Chinese New Year would make the atmosphere more festive, but these two things need to be dried in advance, so I had to give up.

Because even if you dry it in a space, it will take at least three to five days. But now you can prepare some so that you can eat it at home during the Chinese New Year.

On the train.

Bai Yu'er slept for a while, but was woken up by hunger. She had forgotten where she slept. She turned her head and saw Du Yuanxiu sitting next to her.

"Yu'er, you're awake." Du Yuanxiu saw Bai Yu'er wake up and quickly handed the cup of water to her.

"Well, I woke up. Why didn't you get some sleep?"

"I'm not sleepy." Although Du Yuanxiu suddenly had very little rest after getting on the train, he was already used to it in the army, so even if he stayed up for two days and two nights without sleep, it was nothing.

As soon as Bai Yu'er picked up the water cup, her stomach started growling. Suddenly, she looked at Du Yuanxiu excitedly and asked, "Yuanxiu, is today Monday?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Bai Yuer said regretfully: "Today is Monday, and we missed it."

Bai Yuer's words made Du Yuanxiu a little confused. Did he miss something?

He looked at Bai Yu'er puzzledly and asked, "What happened on Monday? What did we miss?"

"Have you forgotten? My younger sister, my older sister, and I took Xu Wenhan's car to the city. To thank him, my younger sister said she would treat him and Grandma Xu to dinner on Monday."

Du Yuanxiu was furious when he heard Bai Yuer's words: "What? My little sister wants to invite Xu Wenhan and Grandma Xu to our house for dinner today?"

Bai Yu'er was confused to see Du Yuanxiu so excited, but she still patiently explained, "Yes, I agreed to this in the morning to thank him."

"I knew Xu Wenhan had wicked ambitions and wanted to take our little sister away!"
