Shen Zhizhu has some experience on how to make the other person feel guilty and stop asking questions with just one sentence.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I didn't mean it. Don't take it personally."

Shen Zhizhu did not feel any ill will from the other party, nor did she make things difficult for him, she explained.

"It's okay, they are just minor problems. We are doing well, and you don't have to feel guilty."

After all, what she said was true, although her biological mother was living well in Hai City and leading a very comfortable life.

If you give birth to a child but don't raise him/her, don't show up for more than ten years, and don't hear or care about him/her, it's no different from being dead. If you regard the other person as a dead person, it's easy to not have any expectations or hopes for him/her.

As for Xu Haonan, his mother died early, and as far as she knew, his father was a high-ranking official in Beijing, but he had ignored him for more than ten years.

Therefore, in Shen Zhizhu's heart, the other party was also a dead person, and her answer was not nonsense.

Seeing that Shen Zhizhu had no intention of blaming him, Xu Haonan stayed quietly by the side, reading the book that Shen Zhizhu brought back.

The woman gave a friendly smile and extended her hand to Shen Zhizhu.

"Hello, comrade. My name is Xu Yunyun. I passed the college entrance exam and am preparing to go to Qingcheng to study. How about you?"

Shen Zhizhu wiped his hands, which were greasy from eating meatballs, repeatedly, but still felt they were a little dirty, so he shook hands with Xu Yunyun through a tissue.

Afraid of being misunderstood by the other party, take the initiative to explain.

"My name is Shen Zhizhu, don't think too much. I was just eating meatballs, and my hands are greasy. I'm afraid I'll get them on you. He's my husband, Xu Haonan, and we're going to Beijing."

Xu Haonan did not shake hands with Xu Yunyun. Instead, the two looked at each other politely and nodded to each other as a greeting.

Xu Haonan thought that he should not squeeze in when they were chatting with other girls.

"Wow, Jingshi, you guys are amazing. You're all so good-looking. As expected, good-looking people are also good at studying."

Xu Yunyun had her hair tied into two braids that hung in front of her chest and wore thick glasses. Although she looked enthusiastic, if you looked closely, you would find that she would easily retreat and deny herself.

I also subconsciously touched my cheek with my hand.

Shen Zhizhu thought she was cute and wanted to compliment her.

"No, learning and appearance are never linked. If you don't do well in the college entrance examination, it doesn't necessarily mean that your life will be bad. It still depends on your choices and efforts. I think you are great."

Xu Yunyun's face turned red from being praised. She lowered her head, pushed her eyes with her hands, and asked in a somewhat uncertain manner,

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Don't be too concerned about your face. You're still young and can grow longer. Besides, freckles are cute and you don't have many on your face. Be more confident. Confidence makes you look better."

Xu Yunyun was stunned. No one had ever praised her freckles for being cute, but this person, whom she had only known for a dozen minutes, was the first one to do so.

"My family always says that I'm ugly and should cover it up with my hair."

Shen Zhizhu looked at the other person's hair. To be honest, she was really envious. The hair was just the right amount and very smooth. It looked like satin under the light. It was so beautiful.

According to her idea, her hair should look like this too.

"To be honest, your hair is so good. I'm so jealous. You should listen more to the compliments and stop accepting the negative comments. You should know that you are much better than most people if you can take the college entrance examination for the first time and get good grades."

"This comrade is right, girl, you have to have some confidence in yourself. Coincidentally, I am also going to Qingcheng, so we can be companions and occasionally go out for a walk or something."

"Really? That's great. I was thinking of asking more to see if there are any friends who want to go to Qingcheng together and we can form a team."

Although Xu Yunyun has some concerns, it can be seen that she is a very enthusiastic and generous girl.

After thanking Shen Zhizhu, she followed the people who had just arrived, saying that there were many people going to Qingcheng there and she could go and get to know them.

Shen Zhizhu then sat down, continued eating her meatballs, and moved to Xu Haonan's side to read a book with him.

She has read this book before, so she is not afraid of not understanding it if she joins in halfway.

"Uncle Li just told us not to talk to strangers before he left, but you forgot about it the moment you left and even comforted them, praising them until they blushed."

Shen Zhizhu chuckled and urged Xu Haonan to turn the page.

"Turn the page, turn the page. Haven't you already read this page? Just by looking at their eyes, you can tell that they are students going to school just like you and me. Most of them are away from home for the first time, and they are full of energy. You can tell at a glance that they are not bad people. Don't worry."

"Also, when their families saw them off, do you think they told them not to talk to strangers?"

Xu Haonan smiled knowingly and turned the pages obediently. He knew what was going on. It was also his first time to take a train and travel far away. To be honest, he was not sure about it.

Don't be fooled by his calm appearance as he was reading a book; he was actually very nervous and excited.

Shen Zhizhu noticed the other person's emotions. After wiping his hands clean, he rubbed Xu Haonan's hair. However, Xu Haonan was wearing a hat, so he didn't touch his head directly.

"Don't worry, I'll be here when you're on the bus. I heard that the school will send someone to pick you up after you get off the bus, in case the students don't know the way and get lost. Just follow them when the time comes. We can meet again after we've packed up."

Xu Haonan did not insist that he was not afraid, but just nodded with confidence to show that he understood.

"Do you want to get some sleep?"

Xu Haonan didn’t sleep well last night, maybe because he was excited or maybe because he was scared. When he woke up in the morning, Shen Zhizhu saw dark circles under Xu Haonan’s eyes.

"I'm not yet...Okay, I'll get some sleep."

He originally wanted to refuse, as he was a little sleepy, but not to the point where he had to sleep. However, he suddenly thought that Shen Zhizhu would definitely go to sleep after nightfall.

If I sleep during the day, Shen Zhizhu can sleep at night.

Shen Zhizhu didn't know what he was thinking, she just thought Xu Haonan wanted to sleep, so she patted her shoulder.

"Lie down. It's not wide enough, but it's not bad. Do you want to use a pillow?"

This frivolous voice made Xu Haonan's ears turn red. He quickly looked around to make sure no one heard it, and glanced at Shen Zhizhu with disapproval.

"Girls, you can only say these things at home. Don't, don't say them outside."

His body was still very honest. He rested his head on Shen Zhizhu's shoulder, closed his eyes, but continued to speak.

"If you are tired, move my head away. If you are sleepy, wake me up and we will switch."

Shen Zhizhu was a little amused and felt that Xu Haonan's reaction really touched her heart. How could a man be so cute? It was simply outrageous.
