The next day, Xu Zi wandered all over the mountain early in the morning and collected a bunch of colorful flowers, still covered with morning dew, which looked particularly beautiful.
He arrived at the educated youth settlement right on time, just past four o'clock. The sky was overcast. He carried breakfast in his left hand and flowers in his right. He was a young man completely blinded by love, passionate, enthusiastic, and brave.
At this time, the people at the educated youth settlement had just woken up. Zhao En got up in a daze to go to the toilet, but when he got to the door, he found someone standing there, which scared him so much that he almost jumped out of his skin.
He looked closely and realized it was someone he knew, so he stammered out a question.
"Team, team, captain?"
Xu Zijiang remained silent. It was pitch black, and Zhao En could only see vaguely. Seeing that he did not respond, Zhao En thought he had encountered a ghost and panicked, wanting to run away.
"A ghost!"
"What nonsense! Keep your voice down, it's too noisy."
Xu Zi rolled his eyes at him speechlessly. The young educated youth hadn't gotten up yet; what if he woke her up?
····
Zhao En was terrified. He clutched his chest and rubbed his face in frustration.
"Captain, why are you just standing here without saying a word!"
"None of your business, get lost!"
Xu Zijiang was unwilling to even glance at his rival in love. Don't think he didn't know that Zhao En was acting suspiciously and had other ideas about the young educated youth!
Yu Jiu woke up at this time and was tying her hair up in the room when she heard the wailing and howling outside, so she came out to see what was going on.
"team leader?"
Her questioning voice came through, as if she was wondering what he was doing here so early in the morning.
"It's me. I made you breakfast. Just eat this and leave it if you're not hungry. You can eat it later. Take this with you. I'm going back now."
When Xu Zijiang saw Yu Jiu come out, his dark eyes immediately lit up. He shoved everything in his hands into Yu Jiu's hands, his nervousness and unease hidden in the darkness. After giving it to her, he was about to leave.
This was the first time he had ever given flowers to a girl; he didn't know if the young educated youth would like them.
Yu Jiu was still in a daze when she suddenly found herself holding a bunch of things. Looking at this large bouquet of beautiful flowers, still covered in morning dew, she was both amused and exasperated. She chased after them.
"Captain, wait a minute! What time did you get up? Aren't you sleepy? You don't need to bring me breakfast or any of this."
“I’m not sleepy. I just wanted to bring this to you. You can keep it. If you don’t like it, you can throw it away. You don’t have to eat breakfast if you don’t like it. Yu Zhiqing, this is just a token of my appreciation. It doesn’t matter whether you accept it or not. Don’t feel guilty. This is something I wanted to do myself.”
This was the first time Xu Zijiang had ever said such humble and sentimental words, and he felt even more uncomfortable. However, he'd get used to it after a while; after all, pursuing a wife requires hard work!
Xu Zijiang understood perfectly.
Since he had said that, she felt even more embarrassed to refuse. Besides, why throw away something perfectly good? Yu Jiu gave him a helpless smile.
"Delivering is fine, but don't do it so early next time. I can't eat anything too early. You can deliver it to me around 7 or 8 o'clock, when I've just finished my early work and I might be hungry."
The working hours here are from 4:30 to 7:00 in the morning, then from 7:00 to 8:30 for breakfast and rest, then from 8:30 to 11:30 in the afternoon, and from 2:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon, for a total of three time periods.
"good."
Success! A hint of pride flashed in Xu Zijiang's deep eyes.
Yu Jiu took the bright red flowers back home, not knowing where to put them, since there wasn't a table. Yu Caihong was folding blankets in the room when she turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see Yu Jiu carrying such a large bouquet of flowers.
"Where did you find these flowers? They're so beautiful!"
As she spoke, she reached out to touch him, but Yu Jiu dodged him shyly, blinking her large, watery eyes with a hint of embarrassment.
"Given by the captain."
"Okay~~~".
Yu Caihong's expression changed instantly, and she withdrew her hand. How dare she touch the captain's things? Did she have a death wish?
Yu Jiu looked around her bed and finally decided to put the flowers at the foot of the bed and deal with them when she got back. She thought Xu Zijiang had done enough with this, but unexpectedly, another bouquet of flowers was delivered at noon, along with lunch. Yu Jiu sighed helplessly and accepted it.
Did you think that was the end of it? When Xu Zi finished work in the afternoon, he brought a bouquet of flowers and dinner again.
Yu Jiu was truly exasperated this time. She pulled Xu Zijiang aside and carefully considered her words, afraid of hurting his young heart.
"Captain, please stop sending me flowers. I have nowhere to put them."
"I understand. You don't like flowers, so I'll send you something else next time. Let me think about it."
Xu Zijiang frowned, sensing that something was amiss. The young educated youth must have said that because he didn't like flowers, not because he disliked him or because he had nowhere to put them!
"No, it's just that there's nowhere to put it!"
Yu Jiu emphasized, both amused and exasperated.
"If you don't believe me, go look at my bed yourself, there's no room left. And all you do all day is find flowers for me, don't you have anything else to do? Flowers are just for looking at, I don't really need them."
"How about this, have you eaten? If not, let's eat together."
Yu Jiu glanced at the dinner he was carrying and made a suggestion.
If the captain really likes her, then it wouldn't hurt for her to get to know him. After all, he's her savior, a good person, and handsome. It seems like it wouldn't be bad if they were really together.
In just a few days, Yu Jiu changed her mind, from helping him get rich to offering herself in return.
"No, come on, let's go to my house for dinner. How about we eat dinner together every day from now on? I'll cook, I'll wash the dishes, I promise I won't let you do anything, and I won't do anything to you. I'll take you back after dinner!"
Xu Zijiang, fearing that his wolfish ambitions would be exposed, quickly offered an explanation.
"Okay, then you have to promise me that you won't send me flowers every day anymore, and you won't stay up late at night!"
Going up the mountain to find flowers in the middle of the night instead of sleeping is such a bizarre thing to do. Doesn't he ever find it tiring?
Xu Zijiang thought to himself, "It's a bit difficult to stay up all night. Lately, I've been thinking about the educated youth all the time, and I can't sleep at night. Sometimes when I wake up, I'm covered in sweat..."
I still have to get up and wash my pants and the mat.
He didn't say anything, so Yu Jiu took it as a yes and went to his house for dinner. Xu Zijiang had also cooked for himself and left his portion on the table. Yu Jiu took the food out of the basket and put it together. Just as she was about to say "Let's eat," Xu Zijiang suddenly said.
"Wait a minute, let me wash my face."
"Okay, sure."
Yu Jiu washed her hands first. She was supposed to go back to the table after washing her hands, but she was attracted by Xu Zijiang's actions. She couldn't describe how he washed his face, but it just felt particularly... erotic.
He first splashed water on his face without wiping it off. The water droplets not only wet his face but also the stray hairs on his forehead. The remaining water droplets slid from his Adam's apple down to his chest, wetting his clothes. It was a perfect wet and seductive look.
Xu Zi first casually turned his head toward Yu Jiu, then casually lifted the corner of his shirt to wipe his face. Yu Jiu could clearly see a few transparent droplets of water clinging to his tanned, sexy abs, adding to his allure.
"Your clothes are wet, Yu Zhiqing, wait a moment, let me change."
