Shen Yulan laughed and said, "This little bit of work is nothing, it's not heavy at all."

But He Haowen insisted on helping her carry water.

Shen Yuqin, who was pushing her wheelchair out to bask in the sun, happened to witness this scene.

She tugged at Shen Yulan's sleeve and pointed at He Haowen's retreating figure, asking, "Big sister, is this the Teacher He that Jingya was talking about?"

Shen Yulan nodded.

"He's really handsome, and tall too, almost as tall as Xiao Gu, right?"

Shen Yuqin stole a few more glances at He Haowen, and her smile suddenly turned gossipy.

"Hey, big sister, he's a teacher, and you're going to be a teacher in the future. You two are such a perfect match!"

Shen Yulan blushed at her words and quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Oh dear, what nonsense are you talking about! I've only met Teacher He a few times!"

"What's wrong with you, lady? You're a college student now, what makes you unworthy of him?"

Shen Yulan's eyes dimmed slightly, and she choked up a little as she said, "I am not good enough for him in any way."

Shen Yuqin opened her mouth wide and stared blankly for a moment.

"Big sister, that's all in the past. Besides, you're not the same person you used to be..."

“What’s the difference? I’ve been married and my husband died. That’s an unchangeable fact.”

With tears in her eyes, Shen Yulan forced a smile. "You shouldn't worry about me anymore. Just get well soon and be able to stand up again!"

After fetching water, He Haowen walked around the farm, occasionally asking the students how they felt about their work.

Just then, he overheard the two girls whispering to each other.

"Hey, did you see Teacher He's girlfriend just now?"
