The moment he asked that question, Su Li inexplicably thought of Gu Huanian, and almost unconsciously replied, "Yes, I have someone I like. Don't come looking for me unless it's important. We're not close."
Shi Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected that she actually had someone she liked. He had been certain of Su Li the moment he saw her.
Call it lust if you will, but he's taken a liking to this woman. So what if she has someone she likes?
Shi Yuan put down what he was holding, clenched the letter in his hand, turned around and strode away.
Su Li was a little angry. She had already made herself so clear, so why was this person acting like this?
What's the point of putting things here?
She picked up her things and chased after Shi Yuan; "Hey, Shi Yuan, stop right there and take your things away."
Shi Yuan seemed deaf, silently continuing to stride quickly.
Su Li was furious, so she grabbed her things and started jogging behind Shi Yuan.
This man's legs are too long, and he walks too fast.
This scene was witnessed by several middle-aged women passing by. One of them glanced at Su Li, who was walking in front and jogging behind, and said, "Su Zhiqing, is this your boyfriend? He's quite handsome. Look at him, tall, big and strong, he looks like a real man. Su Zhiqing has good taste, much better than Lin Zhiqing and the others."
Su Li was furious, and now she was being misunderstood.
What the hell is this partner?
She noticed that several of the women were looking at her at the same time.
Su Li shouted back, "He's not my boyfriend, I don't know him well, don't talk nonsense."
"Su Zhiqing, look at how hard you're chasing after her, haven't you caught up with her yet?"
Su Li; "......."
Without bothering to explain to the group of aunties, she quickened her pace to catch up with Shi Yuan, placed the things in front of him, and left.
Anyway, she gave him the things, and it was none of her business whether he threw them away or did whatever he wanted.
Seeing Su Li turn and leave, Shi Yuan walked up to the aunt who had said he was Su Li's boyfriend and said, "Auntie, I'm Su Li's boyfriend. We had a little argument. Could you please help me with these things?"
These fruits were bought by Gu Huanian at his request, and the can of beef and the letter were sent by Gu Huanian from Beijing.
Have him deliver it to Su Li, and while he's at it, check if there are any suspicious men around her.
Li Hua smiled, looking like someone who'd been there before; "Young man! I think you still have to coax her yourself. This woman's anger will subside quickly if you just coax her a little."
"Auntie, I have something urgent to do back home. Could you please help me give these things to her?"
The woman nodded; "Alright! I'll deliver it to you in a bit."
Shi Yuan said gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie."
After returning home, Su Li kept thinking about the scene where Gu Huanian almost kissed her.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she ate the nuts casually.
As she was lost in thought, there was a knock at the door.
When Su Li opened the door, she saw the aunt who had said Shi Yuan was her boyfriend earlier that day.
She was still carrying those things in her hands, and she recognized them at a glance; they were the things that Shi Yuan had brought.
Su Li frowned deeply; "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Li Hua smiled and said, "This was sent to you by your boyfriend. He said he has something to take care of right now and will come to see you next time."
"Auntie, you've misunderstood. He's not my boyfriend."
"Auntie knows there must have been some misunderstanding between you two. Men are often careless, and sometimes we women need to be more understanding. Look how good that young man is to you, coming to see you with all these things. You won't find a man as generous as him in our village. Don't be foolish."
"Auntie, I'm telling you again very seriously, I have absolutely no relationship with him, he's not my boyfriend."
Looking at Su Li's serious expression, Li Hua asked with some doubt, "He's really not your boyfriend?"
She was still a little confused. The young man clearly said that he was Su Li's boyfriend, so why did Su Li keep insisting that he wasn't? Could it be that she had misunderstood?
"Really not," Su Li explained helplessly.
"Alright, your auntie won't interfere in your young people's affairs anymore. But you should still keep this; they brought it all the way here." Li Hua said, handing the item to Su Li.
Su Li wanted to refuse, but seeing Li Hua's determined look, she had no choice but to accept it.
"Alright, the things have been delivered, Auntie should go now." Li Hua turned and left.
Looking at the thing in her hand, Su Li couldn't help but feel a little upset.
She decided to talk to Shi Yuan properly the next time she met him, to avoid causing any more misunderstandings.
After returning home, she put her things aside. The weather outside was getting colder, and it even started to snow lightly.
Her cashmere sweater was already finished, and it felt warm and cozy to wear.
After returning home, Shi Yuan opened and read Gu Huanian's letter, and was still shaken after reading it.
It turns out that Gu Huanian had already confessed his feelings to Su Li, and this letter was to reaffirm his feelings and express his longing for her.
His face was terribly grim, and he lit the letter with a match and burned it.
He stared at the ashes on the ground for a long time, lost in thought.
Finally, he picked up a letter paper and pen and began to reply to Gu Huanian.
Hua Nian, I went to see the comrade you asked me to find, and she is doing well.
But a male confidant has appeared in my life, and the two seem to have a very close relationship. I have delivered the things and letters you sent.
A week later, Gu Huanian received the letter. Holding it in his hand, he was somewhat incredulous. "A male confidant?"
He's only been back for a short time, and she already has a male confidant?
Did Shi Yuan misjudge? Su Li isn't that kind of person. She's very careful about boundaries when interacting with people and has never had any ambiguous relationships with anyone.
Unless that person is someone she truly likes.
Gu Huanian was upset as he read the letter. He was worried that Su Li had fallen for someone else and wished he could go back to Lijiatun right now to find Su Li and confirm things.
But he can't leave right now. He's been on missions ever since he got back, and today he finally has a day off.
He plans to go back to his parents' place for a visit.
At 10 a.m., he walked into his own courtyard and heard laughter and cheerful voices from inside before he even entered.
Gu Huanian frowned slightly. It was obvious that a guest had come to the house. He could tell from the voice that it was Murong Lan, otherwise his mother wouldn't be smiling so happily.
Gu Huanian felt that today was not a good time to come back, and was about to turn around and go back to the army.
He was stopped by his father, who had just returned home; "What? You're already at the door, why don't you go inside?"
Helpless, Gu Huanian had no choice but to follow his father inside.
When Gu's mother saw the father and son return, her smile widened.
"Huan Nian is back. What a coincidence! Lan Lan is here too."
Murong Lan looked at Gu Huanian with undisguised love in her eyes, and she ran to his side.
"Brother Huanian, you're back! I was just asking Auntie when you were coming back. I didn't expect you to be so quick to respond to my nagging. We were just talking about you, and here you are."
