But as Song Jiajia flipped through the design book Chen Shi had given her, she suddenly felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't she persisted a little longer?
Even if you don't go to university after finishing high school, you can still gain more experience and knowledge.
I never knew there were so many intricacies involved in making clothes, and that colors and styles could be combined in such a way.
If Shen Shi hadn't given her this book, she probably would never have known this knowledge.
Having had a new world opened up to her, Song Jiajia felt like a little fish swimming in an ocean of knowledge.
The grass and trees have lost their color due to the cold wind; the cold winter has arrived.
Shen Shi, who is usually afraid of the cold, is particularly fond of this season this year, as his wedding with Jiajia is getting closer and closer.
Everything is ready, and we're just waiting for that day in two weeks.
When people are happy, they are in high spirits. Chen Shi is about to experience the greatest joy of his life, so there should be nothing that can make him unhappy.
But there's this one guy, Deng Jie, who keeps making things difficult for Shen Shi.
The incident where he was kicked away by the cameraman at the photo studio has been bothering Deng Jie ever since, and he feels that he has lost face.
But when they couldn't beat Chen, they learned to gossip.
"Do you have any conflicts with Deng Jie?" This has become the second most common question I've heard from him recently; the most common one is congratulating him on his upcoming marriage.
Following this question is, where did I hear about Deng Jie, and what bad things were said about him?
This was the first time Shen Shi had realized that he was so popular that so many people would tip him off if he was being talked about badly.
My ears are practically calloused from listening to this stuff so much these past few days.
These days, Deng Jie has been letting loose, getting involved in everything related to Shen Shi.
What's worth mentioning is that a few days ago, Zhao Yicheng and Liu Tianqing were discussing in their dormitory what to give as a wedding gift to Shen Shi.
Deng Jie, who lived with them, started swearing after hearing Shen Shi's name, which led to a fight between Zhao Yicheng and him.
This was already outrageous, but what followed was even more outrageous.
After Deng Jie and Liu Yiyi got married, they also needed to find a new place to live, as there were no more houses available for rent in the village.
However, Deng Jie now has money, so building a house is not a difficult task. But for some reason, he chose to build the house next to Shen Shi's house.
Even when I'm sitting at home, I can hear the clattering and clanging of construction work next door.
No, this can't go on like this. We need to make Deng Jie stop!
Although Shen Shi didn't know why Deng Jie had suddenly become rich, he knew that the money couldn't have come from the wrong source.
If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.
Those who have done wrong are naturally susceptible to deception.
Ever since Deng Jie made his fortune, he often goes to town to drink and eat meat, and he never comes back until dark.
Shen Shi then called Zhao Yicheng over and asked him to keep an eye on Deng Jie's movements and to let him know when Deng Jie went to town again.
Zhao Yicheng knew immediately that Shen Shi was up to something.
He quickly demanded, "It's not enough to just have me be your informant; I won't do it if you don't let me participate!"
"Then come on! More people means more help. I'll show you my special skill later."
Given Chen Shi's cautious nature, he wouldn't do anything unless it was foolproof. Since he was already absolutely certain, having one more person wouldn't make things worse.
The two discussed it for a while and finalized the specific details.
Everything is ready except for the final push; all that's needed is for Deng Jie to go to town again.
However, Deng Jie didn't keep Shen Shi waiting for long. The next morning, Zhao Yicheng came to Shen Shi's house and told Shen Shi that Deng Jie had gone to town again.
Can you be sure?
“It’s absolutely true, he even had Liu Tianqing help him ask for leave!” Zhao Yicheng’s tone was full of accusation against Shen Shi for doubting him.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault."
Seeing Zhao Yicheng's accusing look, Shen Shi smiled and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
After dinner, Shen Shi and Zhao Yicheng went to the only road leading into the village and waited for Deng Jie to appear.
After a long while, and it was completely dark, Deng Jie still hadn't appeared.
Fortunately, it's winter now and there are no mosquitoes, otherwise, if we were squatting in the grass at night, they would definitely be covered in bites.
Shen Shi and others kept yawning, and began to doubt whether Zhao Yicheng's information was inaccurate.
"I'm so anxious! Why isn't Deng Jie here yet?" Zhao Yicheng was also an impatient person, and he was so anxious that he was even thinking of going to find Deng Jie himself.
"Maybe he didn't go..."
Just as he was about to voice his guess, he heard the sound of a dry branch being broken by footsteps, and footsteps approaching.
Shen Shi hurriedly made a shushing gesture to Zhao Yicheng, and the two of them squatted in place without moving.
My eyes were fixed on the direction from which the sound came, and my breathing slowed down considerably.
Finally, Deng Jie appeared at the intersection as expected. Judging from his unsteady gait, he must have had quite a bit to drink.
Deng Jie staggered forward along the road leading into the village.
Shen Shi and Zhao Yicheng waited until Deng Jie passed the place where the two of them were squatting, and then they put a sack over his back.
Zhao Yicheng's movements were incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless! Deng Jie was dizzy and had no strength to resist.
After successfully carrying out their plan, the two tied Deng Jie's hands and feet and then moved him to a nearby dilapidated temple.
Next comes the time for Chen Shi to shine.
Deng Jie couldn't see anything with his head covered, and he had no idea where he had been taken. He must be panicking.
Chen deliberately remained silent, letting him wait for a while.
