At home, Huang Yiyi fell asleep on the table. If Liu Liu hadn't come over and licked her, she might have really slept like that all night.
After she got up, she patted Liu Liu's head and let it go out to play by itself.
Just as she was lost in thought, Cheng Zhi suddenly knocked on her door and came in. "You haven't finished writing your lesson plan yet?"
Huang Yi leaned against her and shook her head. "I finished writing. I just accidentally fell asleep."
Cheng Zhi patted her head. "I made some fruit salad. Come down and have some."
Just as the two were about to leave the table, Cheng Zhi's eyes suddenly noticed the paper in the upper right corner of the table. She picked it up and asked with great confusion, "Why...drew such a big dash?"
Huang Yiyi: "..."
What else could Huang Yiyi say? She shrugged and said, "I'm just bored."
After saying that, she took the paper, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash can. "Never mind, let's go eat some fruit."
When the five of them got together, the others asked about Chen Yiyi and Shen Lingfeng.
Huang Yiyi explained the general situation to everyone, and everyone felt that the two of them had worked very hard.
Xiao Feiran thought for a moment and said, "We seem to have some extra mattresses, right? Why don't you send them over? Or should they take them themselves when they come back another day?"
Huang Yiyi snorted coldly, "I'm not going to deliver it. He said he can make do, so let's not worry about whether he lives or dies."
Chen Siyu patted her thigh, "He's just being stubborn, don't take it to heart."
Huang Yiyi shook her head indifferently, "I'm not going to argue with him. I won't send him anything, and none of you are allowed to go. If he's so capable, let him never come back."
Seeing that she was getting more and more serious, Zheng Wan immediately sensed that something was wrong. "You two... had a fight this afternoon?"
Huang Yiyi poked a piece of apple at me and said, "No, what do we have to argue about?"
After eating two or three more pieces of orange, Huang Yiyi was about to go back to her room to sleep. "You guys keep chatting, I have to lead the morning reading tomorrow."
After she returned to the fourth floor, Cheng Zhi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
Her eyes widened in shock. "Friends, I think I've discovered something incredible!"
Xiao Feiran urged, "If you're going to say it, just say it already, don't keep me in suspense."
Cheng Zhi mentioned the dash she had just seen upstairs and briefly summarized Huang Yiyi's attitude.
Despite her disbelief, she said, "I reasonably suspect that Yiyi has fallen for Chen Yiyi."
The three people next to him were still processing what had happened.
Zheng Wan thought back to how couples and spouses usually argue, and she felt that it seemed to have some similar meaning.
Chen Siyu found it hard to accept, "They usually get along like buddies, how could they suddenly fall in love?"
Cheng Zhi touched her chin. "It might not have been sudden. It might have happened unintentionally. Maybe she doesn't even know it herself."
Xiao Feiran shook her head. "She definitely knows. If she didn't, wouldn't things be the same as before? But it's obvious she's very troubled right now, so much so that she wrote his name on paper."
Chen Siyu couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how similar his name was to a dash. "What if she really just randomly drew a dash?"
Cheng Zhi said, "If it was just a random drawing, there would be no need to be so nervous. Such a large sheet of paper could have been kept as draft paper, but she crumpled it up and threw it away."
Back in her room, Huang Yiyi changed into her pajamas and lay down.
Whether it was because she had just taken a nap or for some other reason, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
In the darkness, Huang Yiyi's gaze fell upon the trash can.
She rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache, and muttered softly, "That's ridiculous."
The next day was Friday. After a week of classes, Huang Yiyi finally had her weekend off.
After seeing off the last student in the class, she returned to her office, tidied up a bit, and prepared to leave.
As I pushed my bicycle out of the school gate and was about to get back on, I noticed someone standing under the shade of a tree by the roadside who looked remarkably like Chen Yiyi.
Just when she thought it was her imagination, the person opposite her waved at her.
Huang Yiyi pushed her bicycle up to him. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the construction site?"
Chen Yiyi was very happy and said with a smile, "The leaders saw that we were working too hard and gave us a three-day holiday!"
Seeing how happy the other person was, Huang Yiyi was also unconsciously infected by it. She braced herself against the bicycle and took out her hand to applaud him, "That's great, after almost a month of training, we finally got three days off. I'm so touched."
Seeing that she let go, Chen Yiyi simply helped the car over, got in, and said, "You don't need to lift a finger today, I'll take you home."
"Nonsense, of course you'll give me a ride, I can't carry you." Huang Yiyi put her bag in the basket and sat on the back seat.
Just like when she was a child, she would hug her parents' waists, and Huang Yiyi naturally wrapped her arms around Chen Yiyi's waist. "Let's go."
It's summer now, and Chen Yiyi was only wearing a thin black T-shirt. He could clearly feel the slender forearms around his waist.
They've known each other for so many years, and their usual physical contact is limited to playfully hitting each other, nothing more.
When Huang Yiyi wrapped her arms around his waist, he inexplicably tensed up, and he seemed to smell a faint scent of prickly heat powder between his breaths.
Chen Yiyi visibly tensed up. Huang Yiyi blinked, finally realizing her mistake, and quickly pulled her hand back. "Sorry, it's just a habit. I used to hug my mom like this when I was little."
