Shiyue and He Lixuan returned to the guesthouse together.
She didn't go back to her own room, but went with He Lixuan to his room.
Because there weren't many people staying at the guesthouse, this time they each got a single room.
He Lixuan glanced at Shiyue, who was following behind him, and opened the door without saying anything, letting her come in with him.
However, she left the door half open after she went in.
Shiyue glanced at it, then went over and closed the door again without saying a word.
"I don't care what you're so particular about. It's so cold, are you just leaving a crack in the door and waiting to catch a chill?" she said irritably.
He Lixuan didn't say anything, but he didn't open it again either.
Shiyue sat down on the bench opposite He Lixuan and said bluntly, "We need to go to Suifeng."
He Lixuan's eyes, which had been lifeless and unfocused, suddenly became sharp.
Without hesitation, he said, "No!"
Shiyue glanced at him: "Is it that I can't go, or that none of us can go?"
He Lixuan didn't hide anything: "You can't go."
"I can't go, and you definitely can't go! If I don't go, what excuse will you use to ask for leave? Will the captain agree to let you go that far? Or are you planning to sneak off without even asking for leave? He Lixuan, you're completely disregarding the consequences of your thinking!"
Without hesitation, Shiyue unleashed a barrage of words!
He Lixuan fell silent again.
How could he not know what Shiyue was saying?
He wanted to see Song Wenge, but he had to lie to get him permission to take leave.
Under these circumstances, if he were to propose going to Suifeng again, there's no need to even imagine what the team's attitude would be.
But can he not go?
Knowing that his parents might be in trouble, how could he not go?
He Lixuan closed his eyes.
His fingers unconsciously gripped the bed sheet tightly, his nails turning white from the force.
His whole body was filled with anger and the pain of helplessness.
Seeing him like this, Shiyue felt sorry for him.
She softened her voice and said, "Don't be sad, let's go see your uncle and aunt together. Go to the train station tomorrow and see which train goes to Suifeng, then buy the tickets. I'll go find Uncle Shen and Sister Ningning."
Firstly, I'd like to ask Sister Ningning to help us find some medicine. By the way, do your parents have any chronic illnesses? Please let me know in advance.
In addition, I need Uncle Shen to cover for us and help me deal with the captain.
Don't worry, I've already thought of a plan, and I'm sure everything will go smoothly for us.
To make sure He Lixuan didn't believe her, she even pulled out the two people's letters of introduction and showed them to him: "Did you see the dates? Before I came, I specifically memorized the deputy captain's letter of introduction and wrote it myself. Look, I wrote the dates a month ago!"
When team members go out, Xu Mantian usually issues letters of introduction; he is currently the most educated person in the team.
When Shiyue spoke to Sun Yongfu, she deliberately chose a time when Xu Mantian was not around, because she knew that Sun Yongfu could not write that many words.
The letter of introduction can only be issued by oneself.
There was something else she didn't tell He Lixuan: not only did she issue two letters of introduction, but she also secretly stamped two blank letters of introduction when Sun Yongfu wasn't looking, and then hid them in her small room.
With these letters of introduction, I won't be nervous about going anywhere to pick up mooncakes.
He Lixuan had actually seen that this letter of introduction had been open for an exceptionally long time.
He also recognized Shiyue's handwriting.
However, he didn't think much of it and assumed that Shiyue was worried that they might encounter something in the provincial capital, so she deliberately wrote the time more leniently.
Hearing her say this, I was a little surprised: "You had already planned to come to Suifeng with me?"
Shiyue, of course, could not admit it.
"No!" she denied decisively.
"I was planning to stay in the provincial capital for a while since I finally had the chance to come out. Who wants to do farm work?"
He Lixuan believed it.
The next morning, before dawn, He Lixuan went to the train station, but unfortunately he couldn't buy a train ticket to Suifeng.
There's only one bus a week from the provincial capital to Suifeng, and it departs two days later.
If they can't get tickets for this trip, they'll have to stay in the provincial capital for another week!
When he returned, He Lixuan looked extremely dejected.
“Come with me to find Uncle Shen and see if he has any ideas,” Shiyue said.
This is the only thing we can do now.
With Song Wen gone, He Lixuan had no familiar faces or anyone to rely on in the provincial capital.
When the two arrived at the tenement where Shen Yuanbai lived, he was just getting ready to go to work.
Clearly, Shen Ningning had already informed him of their arrival in the provincial capital, so Shen Yuanbai was not surprised to see them.
He even pointed inside the house and said to He Lixuan, "I thought you were coming this morning, so I borrowed a bicycle. Come with me to work."
The elders have spoken, so the two of them must obey.
It took the three of them about an hour to reach the Second Food Factory where Shen Yuanbai was now located; it was indeed outside the city limits.
But because the factory was newly built, everything looked new, and the people who occasionally passed by seemed very energetic, which made people feel comfortable.
Shen Yuanbai led the two to his office. He didn't speak to them immediately, but pointed to the thermos on the side and said, "Lixuan, there's a boiler downstairs. Go get your uncle a bottle of water. Also, there's tea on the table. Make your own tea. I'll come back and talk to you when I'm done."
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
It's clear that Shen Yuanbai is really busy; he was gone for more than an hour, leaving the two of them to wait in the house.
