Ever since the snow began to fall, Zhang Lei has been taking good care of her. The educated youth had no cars, so they had to carry the firewood they picked up down the mountain by themselves.
The female educated youth carried a large bundle, while the male educated youth carried two relatively smaller bundles. Overall, they carried more than the female educated youth.
Zhang Lei was already carrying two bundles of firewood, but fearing that Luo Xuefei couldn't move, he offered to help Luo Xue carry the firewood.
Luo Xue refused: "Zhang Zhiqing, you've already memorized a lot. I can carry it myself, you don't have to worry about me."
But Zhang Lei saw that Luo Xue was really weak, so even if Luo Xue was weak, he would still help Luo Xue carry her on his back.
"Luo Zhiqing, please don't be polite with me. I'm a man and I'm strong. I can carry four bundles."
"No, no, how can I ask you to carry so much while I have nothing to do?"
"No problem, I'm willing to do it."
He looked into Luo Xue's eyes, seriously. Luo Xue also noticed his gaze, but still shook her head.
Fu Yunqi couldn't help but be attracted to this side. He knew that Zhang Lei liked Luo Xue and he trusted Zhang Lei. He should have been relieved, but he couldn't resist the desire in his heart and glanced over here from time to time.
Seeing Luo Xue and Zhang Lei getting along, he didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, he felt as if he was weighed down by some emotion, and it seemed like he couldn't breathe smoothly.
Seeing this, Chen Dalu said, "Old Fu, didn't you say you didn't like her and were afraid she would pester you? If she were to get together with Zhang Zhiqing, you could completely get rid of her. But I see you don't look happy."
Fu Yunqi turned his head instantly, bared his big white teeth, and smiled, "Why should I be unhappy? I'm very happy. Didn't you see me smiling?"
"Hey, is that a smile? It's uglier than crying. Old Fu, tell me the truth. If you like her, chase her back. Don't wait until she and Zhang Lei are together. It will be too late to regret it then."
Fu Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then said firmly, "I don't like her, not at all. I get annoyed when I see her. She'd better get together with Zhang Lei as soon as possible."
Chen Dalu shook his head. He couldn't figure out what this weird Fu Yunqi was thinking. He lowered his head and continued to pick up firewood. Fu Yunqi's eyes were still uncontrollable. From time to time, he glanced at Luo Xue, observing her and Zhang Lei's situation.
Wang Jiajia was right next to Luo Xue. She was laughing and joking, "Zhang Zhiqing, are you trying to woo Luo Zhiqing? I wonder when we can get our wedding candy."
Luo Xue quickly said, "No, my dear. My relationship with Zhang Zhiqing is the same as your relationship with him. Don't think too much about it." After that, she looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Really, Zhang Zhiqing, you are not pursuing me?"
Zhang Lei was quite excited just now, but now it was as if he was poured with a bucket of cold water, and his face instantly darkened.
His expression froze for a few seconds, and he explained in an unnatural tone, "Yes, I just helped Luo Zhiqing like I would help any other educated youth. I didn't pursue her. Please don't misunderstand me."
Zhang Lei's throat was a little choked, but Fu Yunqi's mood became relaxed.
However, this comfort only lasted for a moment, and he began to hate himself.
It is impossible for him and Luo Xue to be together, but he selfishly hopes that Luo Xue will not get together with others. He hates his contradictory mentality, but he can't do anything about it.
If it weren't for the previous love, he should be able to be with his beloved now. They are in love with each other and run towards each other, instead of having to watch others pursue her while he can do nothing.
The educated youth all carried firewood down the mountain, and Luo Xue also carried her own firewood. She had never done such rough work before, and since she came here, she had to adapt to the life here. She tried hard to put the firewood on her shoulders and walked down the mountain step by step.
She saw Xu Nuannuan and waved to her.
"Nuannuan."
"Xiaoxue."
Seeing Luo Xueruo looking weak, Jiang Ting walked over and said to her, "Sister Luo Xue, why don't you put the firewood on our car and we'll help you pull it down."
Luo Xue rejected her suggestion. "Since I'm here as an educated youth, I have to act like one. Everyone else carries their own firewood down the mountain. I can't be treated specially, otherwise people will say I'm a hedonist."
Mainly, she still wanted to rely on her own strength and didn't want to rely on others for even such a small task as carrying firewood.
"Thank you, Tingting."
"Nothing, in that case, just be careful."
"I will."
Luo Xue left first carrying Chai, and Fu Yunqi followed behind her, only two or three meters away from her.
Jiang Ting turned her head and saw Fu Yunqi's concerned look towards Luo Xue. She quickly understood something.
My heart suddenly felt like it was being cut by a knife.
It’s not that Brother Fu doesn’t like girls, it’s just that the girl he likes is not her.
Since Brother Fu likes Sister Luo, why doesn't he pursue her?
What happened between them? Was there any misunderstanding?
As she was thinking, Fu Yunqi walked up to her and asked her, "Little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Ting raised her head, wanting to ask about him and Luo Xue's relationship, but now was not the time. She looked at the person she loved and shook her head, "No, nothing. Brother Fu, please finish collecting firewood and go down the mountain quickly. We will be leaving soon."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the cart. Fu Yunqi also continued to go down the mountain with the others.
Among these female educated youth, apart from Luo Xue, Lin Ruyan is no less weak.
She was actually a little jealous when she saw Luo Xue having someone to help her.
After Luo Xue rejected the ideas of Zhang Lei and Jiang Ting one after another, she felt that Luo Xue was stupid, but there was not even one person here who said he would help her. If there was, he would immediately let that person take the blame.
At this time, Liu Cuiying was looking at her. She felt sorry for her and wanted to go over to help her carry the firewood.
How could her granddaughter, a daughter of a wealthy family, do such rough work?
She wanted to go over and help Lin Ruyan, but their current relationship could not be exposed. She could only watch her granddaughter suffer.
Seeing that she was looking at Lin Ruyan again, Xu Nuannuan quickly told her parents.
"Look, the old woman has been staring at Lin Ruyan. There's something wrong with her eyes."
