Just as Zhang Qinghua was about to agree, Daqing grabbed Zhang Qingguo and jumped up and ran away, saying as he ran, "Okay, let Qinghua see you off..." Then, there was a burst of grotesque laughter.
Song Lili was bewildered. "What's wrong with him?"
Zhang Qinghua watched helplessly and speechlessly as the two figures stumbled and ran away. He shook his head and said seriously, "He might not be very bright."
Song Lili, however, thought he was right and even gave him an approving look, saying, "I think so, he's missing a screw in his head."
The two ungrateful people from Daqing who had run far away were speechless.
Zhang Qinghua turned to look at Song Lili, who was still staring at Daqing as if she didn't know what was going on, and said, "Let's go."
Where to?
“Aren’t you going home? I’ll take you.” Zhang Qinghua said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Song Lili laughed and said, "What's there to send? We're all in Hongqi Village. We've grown up here. I don't know how many times I've walked this road. There's no need to send us off."
Zhang Qinghua nodded, "That's true." Then he changed the subject, "But Daqing asked me to take you. He's a bit dim-witted and wouldn't have thought of that, but I can't let my good friend down."
Song Lili: "..." What a high-sounding reason.
"But really, there's no need. Your actions make me feel strange, like you're plotting something," Song Lili said jokingly.
Why did she suddenly feel uncomfortable?
Zhang Qinghua remained expressionless. "There won't be any conspiracy. Even if there is, I won't let you know."
Song Lili: "..." The conversation has already died, how can we continue?
Song Lili simply ignored Zhang Qinghua and headed towards the Fifth Brigade.
She had Song Jianshe set up the greenhouse at home, and it should be almost ready by the time she gets back, which will be perfect for growing vegetables.
Song Lili was thinking about what she would do after getting home, and she really forgot about Zhang Qinghua.
It wasn't until they reached the Fourth Brigade that Song Lili came to her senses. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Zhang Qinghua still following her.
Song Lili was completely flustered. "Why are you still following me? I already said you don't need to see me off. You're making me feel really awkward."
Song Lili wanted to be direct and straightforward.
Zhang Qinghua raised an eyebrow and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You generously taught me and Daqing how to grow cabbages, and I took you home to thank you. There's nothing embarrassing about it."
"You've done me such a great favor, this is just a gift to you, there's no need to feel uncomfortable." Zhang Qinghua's eyes were full of smiles as he said these words.
Song Lili "..."
I have a really bad rant to say, but I don't know if I should.
Then, on a whim, she said, "Others repay kindness by marrying you, but what you're doing is too lenient and makes it seem like you're not sincere."
Zhang Qinghua: "..."
His eyes suddenly seemed to hold a myriad of splendors, dazzling and captivating; one glance was enough to draw you in.
He looked at Song Lili deeply, quietly, and devoutly, so that Song Lili could feel his seriousness without him saying a word.
She heard him say, "Do you really want to repay me with your body? But you're a little young... I'm afraid you'll..." The rest of his words became increasingly indistinct.
The voice grew softer and softer, and Song Lili still couldn't make out what the last few words were.
Even so, it made her cheeks flush bright red, as if she had applied a thick layer of rouge, as if all the clouds in the sky had been hidden on her cheeks.
She cursed inwardly, wishing she could slap herself a few times.
Serves you right for being crazy, serves you right for being crazy, you've gone too far this time, haven't you?
Now look what you've done, you've been so outspoken. Are you embarrassed now? What are you going to do now?
She was so anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, she was about to lose it.
What should I do? How can I get past this? How can I resolve this awkward situation?
Her eyes welled up with tears, glistening like a clear spring.
Zhang Qinghua paused for three seconds, then broke into a smile. A radiant smile appeared on his face, which had never shown any particular emotion before.
Song Lili was immediately captivated.
Zhang Qinghua's smile is so beautiful, really. "A beauty's smile can topple kingdoms," Song Lili felt that this phrase perfectly described Zhang Qinghua.
This is more eye-catching than any of today's pretty boys or handsome men.
I really, really want to hide him away and make him smile at me every day.
Song Lili thought that if that were the case, she would probably be in a great mood every day, with clear skies and sunshine.
Immediately afterwards, a clap of thunder startled her awake.
"Hehe... Little girl, your drool is almost coming out, do you want to wipe it? But you should restrain yourself a little, it's not good for others to see it like this."
