"I'm so sorry," Lin Shansheng said with an apologetic smile, "I have something urgent to discuss with Li Qiaozhen, it's really, really urgent, could you please tell her as soon as possible?"
"What's wrong, Shansheng?" Li Qiaozhen was woken up by Lin Shansheng's loud shouts as soon as she fell asleep.
Lin Shansheng, disregarding any shyness, stepped forward and grabbed Li Qiaozhen's hands, saying, "I'm going to the city to learn to drive, so I came here quickly to say goodbye."
Li Qiaozhen was startled when Lin Shansheng suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. After hearing what Lin Shansheng said, she was even more shocked: "Why do you want to go to the city to learn to drive?"
"This is a transport job that my brother helped me find in the city, but the condition is that I have to learn to drive."
Li Qiaozhen was both surprised and sad. She was surprised that Lin Shansheng was so responsible and dared to take action, but she was sad that she would be forced to separate from him for a period of time.
But since Lin Shansheng is so concerned about their future, how can Li Qiaozhen stop him from working hard?
So she swallowed her longing and sadness, and said firmly, "Go, take good care of yourself out there. If anything bad happens, be sure to write to me immediately. I will always wait for you."
Lin Shansheng, with tears in his eyes, hugged Li Qiaozhen tightly, saying, "I will miss you too."
After saying that, he turned and left. He was afraid that if he stayed even a second longer, he would have the urge to stay, but reason told him that he couldn't, because he had to fight for their future!
After getting into the car, Lin Shansheng kept silently shedding tears, and eventually cried himself to sleep.
The next morning, Liang Fu went to set up her stall with Zhao Shufang as usual, and Su Ning once again squatted in a corner and secretly watched over them.
Liang Fu secretly left him a breakfast and quietly walked into the alley after she finished setting up her stall, startling Su Ning.
Still shaken, Su Ning asked, "W-what are you doing here?"
Liang Fu handed the things to Su Ning, "Here, this is for you."
Su Ning took the breakfast Liang Fu had left for him and ate it with delight, exclaiming, "Delicious, delicious! This is so good!"
Liang Fu chuckled as she watched Su Ning wolf down his food.
Hearing Liang Fu chuckling, Su Ning looked up at her and laughed along, "I'm just a grown man, I don't eat very well, so please don't mind!"
Liang Fu took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped a speck of scallion from the corner of Su Ning's mouth. "Look at what you're eating. Go back and wash this handkerchief and return it to me."
After saying that, he handed over the handkerchief he had just used to wipe Su Ning's mouth.
Su Ning was overjoyed. She wiped her palms on her clothes and carefully took the handkerchief. "Don't worry, I'll definitely wash it clean for you!"
Zhao Shufang, who was tidying up her things, secretly watched the two of them. The corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, and she thought to herself, "It's so good to be young!"
After Su Ning finished eating, Liang Fu took his bowl and turned back to the stall. Zhao Shufang immediately teased, "Why are you smiling so happily? Do you have someone you like?"
Liang Fu smiled shyly, "Aunt Zhao, please stop teasing me. I don't have anyone I like."
Zhao Shufang quietly moved closer to Liang Fu, "You little brat, you think you can fool an old woman like me? I saw it all just now, I've never seen you act like that before..."
After saying that, he burst into laughter, which made Liang Fu even more shy. "Aunt Zhao, please stop talking, he's coming over!"
Zhao Shufang had no choice but to back down a bit. "Okay, okay, someone's shy, then I won't say anything more."
"What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy? I heard someone say that someone is shy?" Su Ning asked, looking confused.
Zhao Shufang was about to open her mouth when Liang Fu covered her mouth, saying, "No, no, you misheard. We were laughing because we were thinking about Shansheng proposing to Qiaozhen yesterday."
"What? Shansheng got engaged? Why didn't you tell me about this good news? I'll go buy something to congratulate you."
After Su Ning finished speaking, he turned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts, but Zhao Shufang grabbed him.
"Don't buy it, don't buy it. You can give it to them when they get married and you come to their wedding banquet," Zhao Shufang said happily.
"Okay, then I'll definitely prepare a big gift!" Su Ning was very envious of them. She couldn't wait to propose to Liang Fu right now, so that their family would be even happier.
"Aunt Zhao, we have to go back now," Liang Fu urged Zhao Shufang, turning to head home.
Seeing this, Su Ning naturally stepped forward to help carry the things, which made Liang Fu feel embarrassed.
To avoid disturbing them, Zhao Shufang pretended to be too old to walk and followed slowly behind.
Seeing Zhao Shufang walking slowly behind her, Liang Fu didn't dare to urge her on, and could only endure this awkward and shy situation.
"Ahem," Su Ning said, the atmosphere was a bit cold now, "Congratulations to your family, this is truly a joyous occasion!"
Liang Fu nodded, "I think so too, and Brother Shansheng and Sister Qiaozhen are a perfect match."
“I think so too,” Suning replied.
But the two quickly ran out of things to say.
As Su Ning walked, he secretly glanced at Liang Fu out of the corner of his eye, captivated by her large, bright eyes.
Every time he stood beside Liang Fu, he wanted to take good care of this girl because she was so thin that he felt he could crush her if he hugged her gently.
“I really envy Shan Sheng,” Su Ning said suddenly, for some reason. “He has found his life partner.”
Liang Fu didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort her, "It's okay, you'll find your life partner in the future."
"Really?" Su Ning glanced at Liang Fu. "But I feel like I might never find her in this lifetime."
Liang Fu was very surprised. "How is that possible? It's just a matter of time."
"It's not a matter of time, it's a matter of how I can't figure out that person."
Liang Fu felt a pang of sadness for no apparent reason. She realized she had been deluding herself, because Su Ning didn't seem to like her.
"What do I have to be sad about? I don't even like him," Liang Fu thought to herself.
“We’re all in the same boat. I have a friend who’s even worse off than you. She fell in love with someone, but he’s already in love with someone else.” Liang Fu smiled bitterly as she recalled her feelings for Lin Shansheng.
Su Ning felt a little relieved. "Your friend is really pitiful, but he should find someone more suitable for him."
"But she couldn't let go of her feelings for that person. She had been paying close attention to him for a long time. He was very good to her and was a very gentle, gentlemanly, and considerate person."
