The male educated youths exchanged knowing glances, and Wu Wenwen and the others squeezed into Ye Zhiyu's room.
Li Xi sat stiffly at the dining table, accepting their fleeting expressions of surprise, disdain, contempt, and understanding.
She clenched her fists. What did these people know? You have to give up something to gain something. Just wait and see.
Having just acquired Li Xi, Fu Tingshen was in the prime of his life and therefore paid great attention to her.
Taking Li Xi's hand, he frowned: 'Why are your hands so cold?'
Even though it was almost autumn and the weather was still hot, Li Xi's hands were like ice.
Li Xi kept telling herself that her choice was right.
After composing herself, she lowered her head slightly, looking shy and timid: "Brother Ting Shen, I'm just feeling a little unwell."
Fu Tingshen felt his throat go dry as he recalled the scene of her beneath him.
If I weren't currently at a youth settlement, I would definitely do it all over again.
The two were flirting outside, while Liu Shengnan was gesturing wildly inside.
Ye Zhiyu laughed at her: "What are you doing?"
Liu Shengnan's face turned red as she struggled to speak, wanting to say something but too embarrassed to, and finally managed to utter only a few words.
"Him, the two of them? Huh?" Two thumbs up.
The other four burst out laughing.
Liu Shengnan got anxious: "What are you laughing at? Is that it?"
Li Xi's actions have absolutely nothing to do with wrestling.
After laughing enough, Ye Zhiyu nodded firmly: "That's exactly what you want."
Wu Wenwen sighed and shook her head: "I really don't know what she's thinking. She's not even married yet... Fu Zhiqing's parents already disagreed. What if Fu Zhiqing changes his mind later?"
Everyone except Ye Zhiyu echoed her sentiments, showing that Li Xi was leaving herself no way out.
Ye Zhiyu wanted to say that whether or not that membrane existed was completely unimportant, but considering the conservatism of people at that time, she changed the subject.
"She probably loves it too much."
For the next few days, Ye Zhiyu visited Lu Yun every day, playing with her for a while before letting her go back to her studies.
That day, Xu Fen and Wu Qing came back to cook.
There was a noise at the door, and just then Wu Qing was carrying something, so Xu Fen went to check.
A somewhat ugly and overweight man stood at the door, with a bicycle behind him.
His hair was wet with hair oil, and his squinty eyes were hidden behind his glasses. He pushed up his glasses in a pretentious manner.
Seeing that the conditions were quite good, Xu Fen tentatively asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The man cleared his throat: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Xingxiu, and I'm an accountant. Is Ye Zhiqing here?"
Xu Fen's expression changed instantly; she knew who this person was.
The person who came to propose marriage to Ye Zhiyu a couple of days ago was his mother.
She was filled with envy. Why was Ye Zhiyu so lucky?
One outstanding person after another flocked to her.
Xu Fen's thoughts returned, and a shy smile appeared on her face: "Ye Zhiqing? You're looking for Zhiyu, right? Unfortunately, she's not here."
Looking at the woman's shy eyes, Shen Xingxiu felt a sense of pride. He knew that no woman could resist him.
Ye Zhiyu is just putting on airs.
Xu Fen then asked, "I don't know what you want to see her about, but I can pass on the message for you."
Shen Xingxiu glanced at the items on the bicycle, and Xu Fen followed his gaze: malted milk powder, face cream, and some fruit.
Shen Xingxiu was somewhat disappointed when he didn't see anyone; he had hoped to see the happy look in Ye Zhiyu's eyes when she saw him.
Xu Fen's eyes lit up, and she said, "I remember now, you're the one who had her mother come to propose marriage a few days ago, right?"
Shen Xingxiu was a little embarrassed, then nodded. He had heard that things had turned out quite badly that day.
But isn't he here to make amends?
Xu Fen looked at him with surprise and delight: "Oh my, it really is you! You are such a handsome man! Zhiyu didn't see you, but if she had, she definitely wouldn't want her boyfriend anymore."
Shen Xingxiu raised his chin. "Of course. It was my oversight that day. I should have come in person."
How could a country bumpkin possibly compare to him?
He only heard the gist of what happened that day and had no idea that Lu Chen was many times stronger than him.
Xu Fen smiled slightly: "Here's what we'll do: give me the things, and I'll give them to Zhiyu for you. I'll put in a good word for you, and I'll definitely make sure you two get together."
Hearing her call him "Zhiyu" repeatedly, Shen Xingxiu figured she must be a good friend, so he readily handed her over. He wasn't worried that she would keep it all to herself, and he didn't think she would dare to do so.
Xu Fen instructed him: "From now on, when you come, come to me first. I'll sound out what she's thinking so you won't be at a loss for how to appease her."
"Okay, if we become a couple, I definitely won't treat you badly."
Shen Xingxiu had already envisioned his future life with Ye Zhiyu.
Xu Fen lowered her eyes, picked up her things, and went back to her room while Wu Qing was busy.
Who was that just now?
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Wu Qing asked.
Ever since Xu Fen sent him away last time, almost making him take the blame for stealing, he has been unwilling to talk to her.
Since then, he has had to be careful whenever he partners with her.
Xu Fen brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "It's nothing, I just asked for directions along the way."
Wu Qing glanced at her suspiciously, but he couldn't press her for answers, so he gave up.
The crops in the fields are nearing harvest, and they are changing every day.
Lu Chen returned the day before the grain harvest.
Ye Zhiyu looked at the person in front of her excitedly, "You're back."
With no one around, Lu Chen pulled the person into his arms and embraced them tightly.
Ye Zhiyu was completely obedient, listening to Lu Chen's strong heartbeat and feeling his longing for her.
"You really know how to pick your time. Uncle Lu said that the harvest will start tomorrow, and you're back just in time for the work."
Ye Zhiyu nestled in his arms and teased him.
Lu Chen smiled slightly, "I'm not the kind of person who would cheat or be dishonest."
As he spoke, he pulled a round ball out of his pocket, which Ye Zhiyu found somewhat familiar.
Lu Chen gently tapped the ball, and it instantly emitted a five-colored light.
Ye Zhiyu's eyes widened, somewhat amused. She knew why the face looked familiar.
That's a crystal ball, the kind that lights up when it's hit.
However, the ones made now are not as exquisite as those made in later generations.
I thought it was fun at first and bought several, but they all broke later.
Seeing her smile, Lu Chen felt relieved. "I thought it looked nice, and I bought it because I knew you'd like it."
"like!"
Ye Zhiyu felt that this was the most beautiful crystal ball she had ever received.
He took the items, looked up at Lu Chen, and saw that Lu Chen had dark circles under his eyes and a thick black beard.
He must have rushed back to see her as soon as he got back, without resting for even a short while.
Ye Zhiyu urged him to go back and rest, "Go back and rest now, you'll turn into an old man soon."
Lu Chen wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed his face against Ye Zhiyu's delicate cheek, and gently rubbed it.
Even if I become a little old man, I'll still be yours.
Ye Zhiyu felt a slight ache and tickle from Lu Chen's beard. She tried to move away, but Lu Chen held her waist firmly, so she could only lean back.
Taking a step back, Lu Chen caught up with her.
Finally, Ye Zhiyu couldn't help but laugh and beg for forgiveness, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Lu Chen then released her and went home to rest.
