I didn't expect Su Ruoxue to come with Xu Jianian. Did she come here specifically to see him?

The thought of not seeing the two girls for almost a month brought a smile to Zhao Defu's face, and he completely forgot what he had just said.

"Hey, what are you two doing here so late at night?"

Zhao Defu smiled as he watched the two girls walking towards them, finally fixing his gaze on Su Ruoxue.

Su Ruoxue glanced at Zhao Defu with a smile, then turned her gaze to Jiang Sheng with a mischievous grin.

"Someone insisted on going to find Jiang Sheng, but was reluctant to admit it, so I had no choice but to reluctantly drag him out!"

After saying that, Su Ruoxue shrugged and then smiled as she glanced at Xu Jianian, who looked flustered and had slightly flushed cheeks.

"Xue'er, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xu Jianian glared shyly at Su Ruoxue, but was met with an even more unrestrained smile from the latter.

"Alright, alright, it's me who wanted to see Jiang Sheng, okay? You didn't want to see him at all, and I practically dragged you here. Since you're so unwilling, then you might as well go back now!"

After being rebuked by Su Ruoxue, Xu Jianian didn't know what to say, and his face turned even redder.

"Okay, okay, I wasn't kidding!"

Su Ruoxue chuckled and turned her gaze directly to Zhao Defu, taking the initiative to extend an invitation.

"There's an amusement park not far away. I remember Jia Nian doesn't like crowded places, so Jiang Sheng can accompany her. Zhao Defu, would you like to come with me to the amusement park?"

It's only 6:30 now; the school closes at 8:30 pm.

As for the amusement park, it closes around 8:30 pm.

Two hours is enough time for them to play at the amusement park, and also enough time for Jiang Sheng and Xu Jianian to be alone together...

With this thought in mind, Su Ruoxue smiled and winked at Zhao Defu as a hint.

Zhao Defu knew exactly what Su Ruoxue was thinking. He was worried about not finding an opportunity to spend time with Su Ruoxue and Danzhu, so when he heard her words, he naturally nodded hastily.

"no problem!"

As Zhao Defu spoke, he patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder again.

"Sheng-ge, you stay with Xu Jianian, we're going to the amusement park to have some fun!"

After saying that, he didn't give Jiang Sheng any chance to respond at all, and turned around to look at Su Ruoxue with a smile.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked, and soon left, leaving Jiang Sheng and Xu Jianian standing there, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"that……"

"that……"

The two spoke at the same time, glanced at each other, and then quickly looked away.

Jiang Sheng didn't really care, but seeing the girl's flustered appearance, he didn't know how to face her.

"It's alright, you go first, ladies first."

Jiang Sheng scratched his head and smiled slightly at Xu Jianian.

Xu Jianian then mustered up her courage and said, "I was just thinking that I haven't seen you in a long time. How about we take a leisurely walk along the roadside and chat as we go?"

"Sure, no problem."

Jiang Sheng didn't care about it and nodded in agreement without saying a word.

The two walked along the roadside, chatting casually as they strolled forward.

How have you been lately?

After holding it in for a long time, Xu Jianian finally managed to utter this sentence.

It wasn't that Xu Jianian didn't know how to talk to Jiang Sheng, but rather that the words she had been preparing for so long were now completely blank when she faced Jiang Sheng. She couldn't say anything at all.

So as soon as he said those words, Xu Jianian felt extremely annoyed.

Honestly, why did you suddenly say something like that?

"It's alright."

Jiang Sheng smiled, seemingly noticing Xu Jianian's embarrassment, and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"University life is actually very fulfilling. We've been undergoing military training at Yenching University lately, and it's been incredibly tough..."

Jiang Sheng brought up university campus life, which immediately aroused Xu Jianian's curiosity and longing.

She instantly forgot her embarrassment and, following Jiang Sheng's lead, started talking non-stop, asking all sorts of questions.

"Really? Are the instructors strict? Do they punish you?"

"Don't you have classes during military training? And you have to get up so early every morning, it must be really tough!"

"However, university life is still very good. I heard that Yenching University's library has a particularly large collection of books. Is that really true?"

"Also, I've heard that the food in university cafeterias is pretty good, is that true?"

"And then..."

Seeing Xu Jianian gesturing wildly as she asked him all sorts of questions, Jiang Sheng smiled slightly and patiently answered her.

This was just like the girl he had just met—speaking without restraint, generous, cheerful, and straightforward, making people feel an instant connection with her, like a little sun that made you want to smile the moment you met her.

The two walked and talked, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Xu Jianian's home is not far from Yenching University; it only takes about twenty minutes to go there and back.

Seeing that there were still forty minutes before the school closed, Jiang Sheng took the initiative to speak.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go to the amusement park to find Su Ruoxue and Zhao Defu. We’ll take you two girls home. It’s too late, and we’re worried about you two girls going home alone.”

Xu Jianian was still somewhat reluctant to leave when she suddenly heard Jiang Sheng's words, and a sense of reluctance rose in her heart.

"Oh, it's over so quickly? I didn't get to finish chatting..."

Xu Jianian couldn't help but pout, looking unhappy.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but smile and say, "We all have time off on weekend afternoons. You can come find me at four o'clock, and I'll take you to the park to continue our chat."

This is an invitation offered proactively.

Xu Jianian's face was slightly flushed, and the dim light concealed most of her unease.

"Okay, I'll come find you then!"

Seeing the smile on Xu Jianian's face, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but smile and nod slightly.

It's a deal.

The two arrived at the entrance of the amusement park, just as Zhao Defu and Su Ruoxue came out from inside.

To Jiang Sheng's surprise, the two of them seemed a little awkward when they came out.

Su Ruoxue, in particular, had a slight blush on her face, and her complexion looked somewhat unnatural.

Seeing Jiang Sheng and Xu Jianian approach, Su Ruoxue felt as if she had suddenly found a savior and was granted a pardon. She quickly walked up to the two of them.
