Gu Bin, who was secretly watching them from a distance, felt his heart clench instantly upon seeing this.
In the distance, Gu Bin was secretly watching Xie Yan and Zhang Linghui. Seeing the two chatting happily, his heart clenched instantly.
What's going on? Why are they chatting so enthusiastically?
Is Xie Yan reliable or not?
Gu Bin was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth, almost wanting to rush over, but remembering Xie Yan's previous instructions, he could only suppress his impatience and stand there anxiously, his eyes fixed on the commotion over there.
After chatting with Zhang Linghui, Xie Yan approached Liu Yihong.
As soon as Liu Yihong saw Xie Yan, he knew exactly what this guy was there for.
He remained calm and said in a cryptic tone, "The competition is fierce!"
Xie Yan met his gaze and instantly understood, nodding in agreement, "Yes! But we still have quite a few advantages on our side!"
I think it's alright!
Liu Yihong wholeheartedly agreed, nodding and saying, "Indeed, he's quite competitive. Let him keep it up!"
Xie Yan nodded and said, "I will definitely pass on your message. By the way, why are you the only one here today? Where is the others? Didn't you say you had a new roommate?"
"I'd also like to meet your new roommate."
"We haven't even had that opportunity yet."
Liu Yihong explained with a helpless expression, "You know Gu Che, he's a master, always appearing and disappearing like a dragon. As for Li Si, he went ice skating!"
Xie Yan nodded; he finally knew the name of this new educated youth.
He'd only been here a short time and he was already ice skating? Intrigued, he asked, "Where did this guy come from? And why is he ice skating?"
Liu Yihong smiled and kept everyone in suspense: "You'd never guess where he's from!"
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow: "Why so mysterious? Let me guess?"
Liu Yihong nodded and smiled, "Let's give it a try, maybe we can actually guess right!"
Xie Yan pondered for a moment before asking, "You can ice skate, right?"
Liu Yihong nodded.
Xie Yan continued her analysis: "If you can ice skate, you're definitely not from the South. If you were from the North, you wouldn't have specifically mentioned it... Could you be from the Northeast?"
Liu Yihong nodded with a smile and joked, "You guessed right! Too bad there's no reward!"
Xie Yan became increasingly curious and pressed on, "He's from the Northeast, so why didn't he join the local team and instead came all the way to the Northwest? That's way too far!"
Liu Yihong took a sip of water before slowly saying, "I was just as curious as you, so I asked him. He said he had offended the people in the educated youth office, and they brought him here."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan smiled and remarked, "This is his good fortune. Look at the Northwest; not just anyone can come here. Take those farms, for example; only highly educated people can go there."
Liu Yihong wholeheartedly agreed, echoing, "That's true! In that sense, we're doing pretty well, especially me, who was among the first batch to arrive."
Xie Yan gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "Of course. Look at you, you're always reading, you're obviously no ordinary person."
Liu Yihong glanced at the stack of books beside her and smiled helplessly: "You know I don't have any other hobbies, so I can only pass the time by reading."
Xie Yan looked helpless and pretended to scold, "You're going too far! Don't you know that excessive humility is just another form of pride?"
As she spoke, she sighed, "I wish I could be like you, someone who has no hobbies and interests, someone who can immerse themselves in books. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"
Liu Yihong sighed and rubbed his forehead, replying with a wry smile, "Hey! Don't take your good fortune for granted. I envy you. Look at you, living such a comfortable and carefree life, and you even got married early, accomplishing a major life event. How enviable!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan blushed slightly with embarrassment, scratched his head, and said, "Now that you mention it, it's true. If I'm still not satisfied with my life and complain about not living well, even God might not stand for it and I'd be struck by lightning!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After laughing enough, Xie Yan stopped and said seriously, "If I could have a little more patience and learn a bit of your good habit of reading, life would be perfect."
Liu Yihong looked at him speechlessly and said bluntly, "You don't lack patience, you clearly have terrible self-control. You can't sit still for long when you're reading, your butt is like it's made of nails, a typical three-minute wonder!"
Xie Yan nodded sincerely and said helplessly, "Yes, I know I have this problem, but I just can't get rid of it. What do you suggest? Do you have any good ideas to help me out?"
Liu Yihong wore a kind smile, but deliberately teased him: "I'm sorry, I don't have this 'problem,' so naturally I have no way to cure your 'stubborn illness.'"
Xie Yan rolled her eyes, stared at him with dead fish eyes, and said irritably, "You've gone too far!"
He secretly grumbled to himself that he hated people who took advantage of others and then acted innocent, putting on a "Versailles" act.
Xie Yan, however, refused to back down, raising his head and saying, "You're lucky you met someone as handsome and kind as me. If it were anyone else, they would have isolated you long ago!"
Liu Yihong smiled helplessly and teased, "Why don't you try isolating me? I'd like to know how you can isolate me all by yourself."
Xie Yan was speechless for a moment, his anger rising. He said irritably, "I just want to know, did someone like you get beaten a lot when you were a child? And did anyone have friends with you?"
Liu Yihong sighed with feigned melancholy and said, "Oh dear, what bad luck, you guessed wrong again."
Xie Yan was so angry that his blood boiled. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, asking, "Can you fight? Can you take a beating?"
Seeing this, Liu Yihong calmly pushed the cup next to him away and said with a smile, "What, you're resorting to violence because you can't win an argument? That's not what a gentleman does. As the saying goes, a gentleman uses words, not fists."
Xie Yan grinned, revealing a mischievous smile: "You're mistaken. How am I not a gentleman? I'm a perfect gentleman, and a gentleman believes in acting without words."
"Today, I'll show you what a true gentleman is."
After a fierce struggle, Xie Yan successfully subdued Liu Yihong, pinning him to the ground and asking triumphantly, "Give in now?"
Liu Yihong gasped for breath and hurriedly said, "I give up, I give up, get up quickly, if you keep pressing on me, my arm will break!"
Xie Yan finally encountered someone weaker than himself and laughed heartily: "Brother, your physical fitness is not good! You'll have to train hard later."
