Chen Shi's tone left no room for discussion; even the time had already been set.
If Liu Yiyi felt a sliver of relief when Shen Shi called out to her, then...
After hearing Shen Shi's words, all that remained was despair.
She clearly sensed Shen Shi's annoyance towards her, but she didn't understand why.
Just the day before yesterday, Shen Shi's attitude towards her was very gentle and polite.
She was certain that Shen Shi didn't dislike her at that time. She felt wronged, even though she hadn't done anything wrong.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Liu Yiyi really wanted to ask Chen what was wrong.
Why did she have to do this to her? But then she thought of her embarrassment yesterday and Deng Jie's promise last night.
Liu Yiyi swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
No, absolutely do not ask! Asking about your situation will only put you in a more passive position.
Knowing that Shen Shi hadn't come to discuss things with her, Liu Yiyi could only nod gently.
Then, she looked at Shen Shi with gentle eyes and said, "If there are any books that Shen Zhiqing wants to read in the future, you can ask me. Maybe I have some? We can study and improve together."
When he was in a daze, he didn't know how to react, so he simply didn't react at all.
Liu Yiyi probably felt awkward too, and left after seeing that Shen Shi didn't respond.
Having learned from yesterday's experience, they did not unleash their ultimate move again.
When it was time to eat, Shen Shi paid special attention to Deng Jie and Wang Gang.
Deng Jie was alright; he still had the same sour face as usual.
But Wang Gang really surprised Shen Shi.
Wang Gang looked utterly devastated; even his eyes were red. He appeared heartbroken and utterly devastated by his breakup.
It seems he really has deep feelings for Liu Yiyi!
This guy is untouchable; he's a real simp.
If we want to see him cause trouble for Deng Jie, it seems we'll have to wait a few days for Wang Gang to recover.
Seeing no promising developments, Chen Shi stopped paying attention to them.
He lowered his head and started eating breakfast.
In the morning, it's usually just a simple breakfast of mixed grain porridge with a stir-fried vegetable dish.
Each person's portion was small, and they finished it in no time.
Even while eating, Chen Shi was still thinking about returning Liu Yiyi's book.
As soon as I finished eating, I went back to my dorm and grabbed my books.
As agreed beforehand, it was placed on the windowsill of the female educated youth dormitory.
Today it was Shen Shi's turn to wash the dishes. After putting the books away, she rushed back to wash the pots and dishes.
After finishing his busy work in the morning, it was time to go to work.
I was still a little worried, thinking that Liu Yiyi should have returned the book by now.
It's best to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, unexpected problems might arise.
When Chen Shi was feeling down, he told Zhao Yicheng to go first, and then went to look out the window of the dormitory.
Fortunately, this time Liu Yiyi really kept her promise.
The book has been placed on the windowsill of Chen Shi's dormitory.
After glancing at the cover and confirming that it was his copy, Chen put it at the very bottom of the cabinet.
With a click, the cabinet was locked.
A sense of satisfaction, as if the dust had settled, rose in Shen Shi's heart.
This so-called beginning of his relationship with Liu Yiyi was ultimately extinguished by himself.
When I'm in a good mood, I run all the way to work.
After a few more busy days, the wheat harvesting work was finally finished.
There were still some relatively easy clean-up tasks left, so the workday wasn't too tiring.
"Sigh! It's finally over!" Shen Shi couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
This was the first time I had participated in the harvest since I went to the countryside.
The past two weeks of summer harvest have been incredibly tough on Shen Shi. Every day after work, he was so tired that his hands would shake when he held chopsticks.
They treated people like donkeys, and now they can finally catch their breath.
It's fine when I'm busy, but my mind gets restless when I have free time.
Shen Shi did a quick mental calculation and realized that he and Song Jiajia hadn't seen each other for three days.
As the saying goes, "A day apart feels like three autumns."
Nine autumns have passed for them already!
When I was feeling down, I felt an itch in my heart.
Thankfully, tomorrow is the weekend, the day we agreed to meet, so it won't be too unbearable.
I haven't seen Jiajia for several days, so I really need to prepare myself!
Thinking about how he hadn't given Song Jiajia a gift since they started dating, he realized he hadn't yet.
Chen opened his locker and began to look for anything he could give away.
Although his family gave him a lot of money when he went to the countryside, his mother would also send him things from time to time.
But he himself hasn't bought much, so there's really not much he can give away.
The cabinet was mostly filled with books, along with some money and tickets.
After picking and choosing, Chen Shi found a bag of White Rabbit milk candy.
It weighed about half a pound and was wrapped in plain paper. It also had some quotes from great figures printed on it, giving it a very vintage feel.
His mom sent it last month, so it's perfect as a small gift.
"Hmm, this is good. Young girls like sweets." Shen Shi imagined Song Jiajia's happy expression after receiving it, and felt a sweet warmth in his heart as well.
The next day, from the start of work to the end, Shen Shi's upturned lips never left his face.
After work, I didn't go with the other educated youth at the settlement.
Chen returned to the former educated youth settlement alone, quickly washed up, changed into a classic white shirt and blue polyester pants, and then grabbed some milk candy before heading out.
The sky was clear and the air was fresh all the way, and everything was lovely.
Shen Shi arrived a little early today; it wasn't yet the time he had agreed to meet with Song Jiajia.
But no sooner had he arrived than Song Jiajia showed up.
