From that day on, Gu Shi would buy Lin Qingyu a bouquet of flowers every time he got off work.
Soon it was time for Zhao Xiaobao to take the high school entrance exam.
Gu Shi had something urgent to attend to, so Lin Qingyu escorted Zhao Xiaobao into the examination hall.
"Relax, it doesn't matter how you do on the test. Taking the high school entrance exam at your age is already amazing! Keep it up!"
Zhao Xiaobao smiled faintly: "Thank you, Auntie."
He seemed relaxed, which suggested he was quite confident.
Zhao Xiaobao's exam venue was quite far from his home, so Lin Qingyu didn't go back and instead booked a guesthouse here.
We booked two days in a row, so Zhao Xiaobao could rest a little longer at noon.
With nothing else to do, she strolled around the area.
She saw a store selling children's clothes and couldn't resist going inside.
There weren't many customers in the store, so the sales clerk came over to greet her warmly.
"Comrade, what kind of clothes are you looking for? How old is your child, boy or girl? Let me recommend some."
Lin Qingyu waved her hand somewhat apologetically, "I'll just look around by myself, you go ahead and do your thing!"
The sales clerk was so enthusiastic that Lin Qingyu had to decline for a while before she finally stopped coming over.
There aren't many clothing stores in the county town to begin with, let alone clothing stores that specialize in children's clothes.
However, the little clothes hanging on the rack are indeed very pretty.
As she looked at the photos, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but think of the two children she had lost...
After a short while, she couldn't keep shopping anymore, but she felt bad about leaving without buying anything.
In the end, she still took two pieces of girls' clothing, which were pink and cute.
Lin Qingyu stuffed the food into her backpack and fled the place as if she were escaping.
There are many snack vendors near the school, but they mostly sell things like dried sweet potatoes and syrup.
Lin Qingyu glanced at it and had no appetite; the food in her space was much better.
Afterwards, she returned to the vicinity of the guesthouse, where there was a state-run restaurant, where she planned to have lunch with Zhao Xiaobao.
Gu Shi encountered a bit of trouble; one of the machines at the steel plant malfunctioned.
The foreman at the factory suggested that they ask the foreman from the nearby state-owned steel plant to come and take a look, as he wasn't confident in his abilities.
Gu Shi also took a look. These past few days he had become more skilled and could solve most problems.
After looking at it for a long time, I really had no choice but to hire someone.
He had some connections with one of the managers at that factory; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to open the factory.
When Gu Shi went there, the manager was not there, and Jiang Lili happened to see him.
"Xiao Gu, what brings you here?"
"Xiaoli, you know General Manager Gu! That's perfect. He's looking for Manager Wang, could you take him there? I have other things to attend to, so I'll be going now!"
When the person who was supposed to receive Gu Shi saw that the two knew each other, and because he was in a hurry, he handed the person over to Jiang Lili.
Before Gu Shi could refuse, the person had already disappeared.
He looked at Jiang Lili indifferently, and said expressionlessly, "I won't trouble you, I..."
Jiang Lili grabbed Gu Shi, who was about to leave, and hurriedly said, "Hey, don't go! I know where Manager Wang is! I'll take you there."
Gu Shi was also worried about the machines in the factory. After thinking for a moment, he pulled his hand away first and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Jiang Lili didn't mind. She led the way and turned her head to smile, saying, "It's no big deal. I'm not busy right now."
As the two walked, they reached the depths of the factory, where the factory workers rested.
Some workers on duty can rest here; it's actually just two rows of small bungalows.
This is also perfectly reasonable.
"Xiao Gu, what brings you here to see Manager Wang?"
Jiang Lili made conversation, and by then the surroundings had quieted down considerably.
Gu Shi kept a distance from her and said politely but distantly, "I have something to do."
"Oh, I see! Let me check for you. Manager Wang often sleeps in this room."
Jiang Lili went to the first room, knocked on the door, but no one answered. She pushed it open, but no one was inside.
She was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't sleep here tonight. I'll look around somewhere else. I remember he said he was coming to rest!"
They kept knocking until they reached the last room. Jiang Lili went inside, and then a scream was heard.
"ah!!!"
Gu Shi thought something had happened and rushed inside anxiously.
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Lili suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Startled, he backed away and closed the door behind him.
When Gu Shi regained his balance, Jiang Lili was still nestled in his arms, and he immediately flew into a rage.
He shoved Jiang Lili away and then realized why she was screaming.
The room was covered with magazines, the kind that aren't clean.
I don't know if it's because there are regular people staying here, but the whole room is filled with an indescribable smell.
Combined with the things on the wall, it's hard for anyone to stay there any longer.
Gu Shi didn't care about Jiang Lili's feelings at all and was about to open the door and leave.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lili suddenly rushed out again and hugged Gu Shi's broad back tightly.
"Xiao Gu, don't go! I'm scared!"
Gu Shi tried to shake her off, but even though she usually seemed gentle and weak, he couldn't pry Jiang Lili's hands off despite using a lot of strength.
"Comrade Jiang Lili, please have some self-respect!"
The gritted teeth in those words were clearly expressed, but Jiang Lili just wouldn't let go.
"Xiao Gu, don't leave me! I'm scared, I..."
As Jiang Lili spoke, she rubbed her soft skin against Gu Shi's back.
In an instant, goosebumps covered Gu Shi's arms.
He didn't care about being gentle with her at all, and flung Jiang Lili away, causing her to fall to the ground.
He then opened the door and rushed out.
Luckily, he didn't see anyone when he went out, otherwise he would have lost all face.
Gu Shi walked out panting, and just as he was about to exit the gate, he ran into Manager Wang, who was returning.
"Hey! What's wrong with Xiao Gu? Why do you look so angry?"
Gu Shi took a deep breath, thinking of the machines in the factory, and quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Manager Wang, I'm here to see you..."
He explained the situation, and Manager Wang, being a decent person, immediately found an experienced master craftsman to go over.
The group quickly arrived at Gu Shi's factory, and the master craftsman quickly found the cause of the malfunction and needed several parts.
Gu Shi said he would go buy it; he was feeling down and wanted to get some fresh air.
He didn't drive, fearing he might lose control and cause another accident.
Riding his bicycle, with a gentle breeze occasionally brushing against his face, Gu Shi finally felt a little better.
When he passed by the river, he left his car aside and went straight over to wash his face.
Then he took off his clothes again, threw away his coat, leaving him only in a vest.
I felt a little better after washing myself off.
