It wasn't until the weekend morning, after watching Sun Chunjuan leave, that Jiang Sheng remembered he still had an appointment with Xu Jianian.
When Jiang Sheng arrived at the school gate, he saw Xu Jianian already waiting at the entrance of Yenching University.
Upon seeing Jiang Sheng appear, Xu Jianian smiled, appearing much more composed than last time.
"Jiang Sheng, you're here!"
Jiang Sheng smiled and nodded at Xu Jianian. He noticed that she was wearing a pure white dress, a straw hat, and two ponytails, which made her look youthful, beautiful, lively, and playful.
Compared to the youthful appearance that Sun Chunjuan had deliberately created, Xu Jianian appeared more refined and ethereal.
Because of the hot weather, Jiang Sheng had nowhere else to take Xu Jianian, so he took him to a nearby teahouse.
After getting to know each other better, Xu Jianian stopped worrying about so many things when chatting with Jiang Sheng. They talked about all sorts of things for a long time, and even when Jiang Sheng had to go back to military training, she was still a little reluctant to leave.
Knowing that Xu Jianian was reluctant to part with her, Jiang Sheng specially bought a pair of red hair ties with strawberry patterns on the way back and placed them in Xu Jianian's palm.
"Here, take this. After my military training is over, I'll treat you to a trip to the amusement park."
Xu Jianian blinked, her heart pounding as she gripped the hair tie tightly in her hand and smiled at Jiang Sheng.
"Then I'll wait for you! Next year in university, you'll be my senior, so you absolutely have to host me. I'm determined to get into Peking University!"
Seeing Xu Jianian's confident expression, Jiang Sheng smiled and nodded.
After the two parted, Xu Jianian looked in the direction where Jiang Sheng had disappeared, still feeling somewhat lost.
She has another year before she can get into university.
When the time comes, she must tell Jiang Sheng how she feels!
Xu Jianian unconsciously tightened her grip on the hair tie in her palm, a faint smile appearing on her face.
...
As for the remaining two weeks, nothing else happened at school, and the three older sisters were also safe and sound, with no news coming from them.
With Lin Jiafu having someone specifically following him, Jiang Sheng doesn't need to worry about anything going wrong with his eldest sister for the time being.
Until the end of military training, everything went smoothly without any major problems, which surprised Jiang Sheng.
What surprised Jiang Sheng was not the matter of his three older sisters, but Sun Chunjuan.
For the remaining two weeks, Sun Chunjuan kept contacting him frequently.
To Jiang Sheng's surprise, every time Sun Chunjuan contacted him, it was either to chat on campus or to take a walk.
Apart from that, there has been no further development.
Jiang Sheng originally thought that after Sun Chunjuan got close to him, she would try to make him like her, and then when the time was right, they would be together openly.
But judging from Sun Chunjuan's appearance, she doesn't seem to have any such plans. On the contrary, she seems to want to be with him in a serious way, which is similar to the normal process of male-female relationships in this era.
When Jiang Sheng told Zhao Defu what was on his mind, Zhao Defu simply waved his hand.
"If you ask me, although Sun Chunjuan is Zhou Changgui's cousin, she shouldn't be as bad as Zhou Changgui. Since she genuinely wants to pursue you, it shows that she values her reputation. She's not as scary as you think."
This time, Jiang Sheng did not tell Zhao Defu that Sun Chunjuan was Sun Chunli's sister.
He wasn't worried that Zhao Defu would talk nonsense, but rather that he himself was still a bit unsure about the plan, so he simply decided not to tell anyone.
Upon hearing Zhao Defu's words, Jiang Sheng shook his head, quickly realizing that something was amiss.
"No, even if it's like you say, it won't have any impact on this girl, think about what people will think of me if I'm not with her?"
In this day and age, it's already quite remarkable for a girl to be so bold as to pursue a boy.
Although neither of them did anything outrageous, they couldn't escape the gossip!
At that time, in everyone's eyes, the girl was reserved and conservative from beginning to end, while the boy rejected her after spending so much time with her.
I'm afraid the boy will be drowned in spittle, while the girl will receive everyone's sympathy and pity.
No wonder.
So this was Sun Chunjuan's plan!
"What you said does make some sense..."
At this moment, Zhao Defu realized what was going on and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"And every time Sun Chunjuan comes over, it seems she doesn't come from the direction of the School of Humanities she mentioned... No, I have to ask someone to find out which school and class she's in!"
As Zhao Defu stood up to leave, Jiang Sheng instinctively tried to stop him, but to no avail.
Well, Zhao Defu will find out sooner or later anyway, so let him ask someone to look for her. When he finds out that Sun Chunjuan isn't from the School of Humanities, he can still get Zhao Defu to help him figure out a solution.
Since military training is over, he will have more time to come and go from the school, and it will be easier for him to find out Sun Chunjuan's plans.
Zhao Defu was quite efficient; he went to the School of Humanities to inquire in the morning and received news in the afternoon.
"I've received the news!"
Zhao Defu returned to the dormitory panting, looked at his three roommates, and snapped a list out of his hand.
"What is this? What news did you receive?"
Sun Youzhuang curiously leaned over, looked at the paper, and read it aloud.
"Entrance examination transcript of a student in the Chinese Department of the School of Humanities".
Sun Youzhuang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Defu, why did you pull up the transcripts of those Chinese literature students?"
Zhao Defu waved his hand, not explaining much to Sun Youzhuang, and instead grabbed Jiang Sheng, who had come over from the side.
"You'll find out when I finish explaining."
After Zhao Defu finished speaking, he pointed directly to the list in front of him and said to Jiang Sheng.
"Brother Sheng, look!"
Zhao Defu pointed to the names and scrolled down from beginning to end.
“These are all Chinese literature students. Look, Sun Chunjuan’s name isn’t even on the list. She’s not even from our school!”
As soon as Zhao Defu said this, Sun Youzhuang and Qian Duoduo were both shocked.
"What the hell did you say?"
"That girl who kept trying to find opportunities to be alone with Sheng Ge, turns out she's not even from our school?"
Seeing the two men's utterly shocked expressions, Zhao Defu nodded with absolute certainty.
“That’s right, I made up an excuse to get this list, but I didn’t see Sun Chunjuan’s name at all. She’s just lying to you, Brother Sheng!”
