"Ah! How did you know what I was thinking?" Song Jiajia's peach blossom eyes widened, looking just like a little kitten.
"I wasn't sure before, but now I know." Seeing Song Jia like this, Shen Shi found her particularly cute and mischievously teased her again.
"Fine! You...you! Chen Shi...you tricked me!" The little girl was so angry that she couldn't even finish her sentence, her cheeks puffed up like a little pufferfish.
I immediately started tickling him.
"No, no... no! How could I dare? Haha... Stop it!" Shen Shi explained while dodging.
After bickering for a while, Song Jiajia was panting heavily and let Shen Shi go.
There wasn't much to sit around, so the two of them simply squatted down to talk.
"Why did you faint today? Is something wrong?" Song Jiajia was still a little worried.
"It's nothing, it's just that it's too hot and I suddenly stood up too fast. I'm very strong! Look at my muscles." Shen Shi deliberately bent his arms to show off to Song Jiajia.
Of course, he couldn't tell Song Jiajia about her "past life." He could face these unpleasant things alone; his Jiajia had to always be happy.
"Hmph! I'm not going to watch." Song Jiajia's tone was very aloof.
If Chen Shi hadn't seen the blush on her cheeks, he might have believed it.
What a hypocritical little girl!
Hehe! So cute! Such a cute girl is his girlfriend!
He is so lucky!
"If you don't look at me, who will you look at? You'll look at me for the rest of your life. And I'll only look at you for the rest of my life. Let's love each other until we grow old together." Shen Shi said shamelessly.
Her sharp phoenix eyes, however, became tender and affectionate at this moment.
He gazed intently at the beautiful woman before him, his eyes filled with tenderness like an unyielding spring stream.
Song Jiajia's face turned even redder, but she didn't refute him.
Looking at the girl's cheeks, which were as slightly flushed as the clouds on the horizon, Shen Shi felt both happy and excited. What did he do to deserve such a wonderful girl's affection for him?
In this life, I will never fail you!
As the saying goes, "A day apart feels like three autumns."
The two had last met a week ago, and now they had a lot to say to each other.
They chattered away for quite a while. It wasn't until it was almost completely dark that they reluctantly parted ways.
After they parted, another "eighteen-mile farewell" took place. Chen Shi watched Song Jiajia until she safely entered her home before going back himself.
When Shen returned to the educated youth settlement, it was already completely dark. But since dinner was prepared late, there were still a few people eating.
As soon as Shen Shi entered the room, Zhao Yicheng asked curiously, "Hey! Where did you go just now? You ran away like a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered I lost something and went out to look for it." Shen Shi had no choice but to lie.
She prayed silently: Zhao Yicheng! Please, please don't ask again!
"Ah! Did you find it?" Zhao Yicheng clearly hadn't heard Shen Shi's prayer.
Chen Shi could only reply, "No, but it wasn't anything valuable. It's fine if it's lost."
Sure enough, once one lie is told, another must be told to cover it up.
Seeing that Shen Shi didn't want to say anything more, Zhao Yicheng finally didn't ask any further questions.
Shen Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After they finished talking, a female educated youth named Liu Xin greeted Shen Shi with a smile, "Educated Youth Shen, you're back! I'm cooking today, and yours and Deng's are keeping warm in the pot!"
Hmm? Deng Jie hasn't come back yet.
It seems that his black market business had already begun to take shape at this point.
In order to avoid the tragic end of dying from vomiting blood, one must make plans as soon as possible.
While pondering to himself, Chen smiled at Liu Xin, thanked her, and went into the kitchen.
Lifting the pot lid, there were four steamed buns made from two kinds of dough on the steamer rack, and two bowls containing half a bowl of stir-fried cabbage.
Yes! It's still very healthy and light.
But actually, this is already a pretty good meal. It's only because the summer harvest is hard work and they're afraid of harming their health that they can afford to eat steamed buns made from two kinds of flour.
Normally, they would eat either dark steamed buns with pickled vegetables or mixed grain porridge. Not to mention stir-fried vegetables like cabbage, which require oil.
Ugh, I really want to eat meat!
After the summer harvest, he's going to the state-run restaurant for braised pork and big steamed buns! He's going to eat eight in one go!
After indulging in his mental fantasy, Chen Shi took his portion to the table in the courtyard.
There were only three people at the dinner table: Liu Yiyi and her best friend Li Fang, and the sycophant Wang Gang.
As soon as Shen Shi sat down, he saw Liu Yiyi casting a shy yet concerned look at him.
It was as if she had something to say to him but was too shy to speak, so she was waiting for him to ask first.
Wang Gang, standing beside her, looked at Shen Shi with a mixture of resentment and fear in his eyes.
The scene became a little awkward, and Chen Shi was left speechless by the stares.
But after a long day, Shen Shi was starving and only wanted to eat, so he didn't have time to deal with their little schemes.
He simply ignored everyone and buried himself in his food.
On the other side, Liu Yiyi watched as Shen Shi buried her head in her food, showing no intention of speaking to her. A sense of unease flashed through her mind.
She felt as if something had slipped out of her control.
She glanced up at Shen Shi sitting opposite her; he had a cool and handsome appearance and an outstanding temperament.
It's a pity that she liked Deng Jie's domineering personality, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts.
But when he thought about his family, his parents favored boys over girls, and the family had already spent almost all their money trying to find a job for his younger brother who was two years younger than him.
