"You little rascal, you've been plotting against that Zhang guy for a long time, haven't you? You even made up a fiancée? Or do you really have a girl you like?"
Sheng Yi knew he couldn't fool him, so he didn't intend to hide it.
"Yes, teacher, I've really liked that girl for many years."
In the past, for various reasons, I rarely had the chance to see her, and I didn't dare to tell her how I felt. But this time, I said it..."
When Sheng Yi mentioned Zhu Qinghao, his face softened, making it clear to everyone that he was not lying and that such a person truly existed.
"Good! You're a true student! That's how it should be. If you have feelings for someone, you must say it. You can't let them guess."
Good! Good lad! You're not young anymore, and I'm looking forward to your wedding. But before that, if you have the chance, bring her over so we can meet her, okay?
Let me see what kind of girl has captivated our workaholic Dr. Sheng for so many years. But I bet she must be a wonderful girl.
Sheng Yi was initially a little embarrassed by what was said, but all his shyness disappeared without a trace when Zhu Qinghao was mentioned.
"Yes, teacher, she is really a very, very good girl, she has always been since she was little, and she has never changed."
After hearing him say that, Yuan Yue felt that the conversation could no longer continue.
"Alright, alright, don't show off in front of me. You should handle it yourself. By the way, come to my house for dinner tonight. Your teacher's wife is making noodles today. She knew you were coming back, so she specifically told me to invite you over for dinner."
Sheng Yi had always known that the couple treated him very well, so he didn't bother with any pretense of politeness and happily agreed.
"Okay, teacher, I'll be there on time. Remember to ask your wife to prepare a small dish of pickled vegetables for me. Thank you, teacher!"
After saying that, he grabbed his bags of dried meat and left quickly.
When Yuan Yue turned around again, there was no one there.
"Hey! This brat, he's acting like he's afraid I'll steal his stuff..."
As he spoke, he smiled and sat down to get to work.
Sheng Yi returned to his room and began checking his belongings.
Fortunately, there was still more than half of the dried meat left.
It wasn't because everyone didn't have time to eat, nor because they were reluctant to eat, but because Zhang Chunyan didn't share much. She hid the rest in her own box, intending to keep it all for herself.
Having already given away the items, Zhang Chunyan felt embarrassed and ashamed to ask for them back. After stammering for a while, she finally offered to pay compensation.
Sheng Yi glanced at it and saw that it was almost the same, so he only accepted the dried meat and money that Zhang Chunyan returned, without mentioning going after the dried meat.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after he went back and thoroughly checked all his belongings.
Fortunately, the items placed at the very bottom of the bundle, intended as gifts for Mr. and Mrs. Yuan Yue, were not found or damaged.
Before he returned, he knew that his first meal would definitely be at Yuan Yue's house, so he prepared some gifts for the couple.
Besides the dried meat Zhu Qinghao made, there were also two dried rabbits obtained from the black market, as well as some other dried goods.
Sure enough, he had just received Yuan Yue's invitation, which is why he rushed back to see if the things he had prepared were still there. If not, he would have to prepare some new ones.
After confirming that everything was still there, he felt relieved, put the things away, and then returned to his work.
This time, however, he was more cautious and locked all the things he considered important in the cabinet before going off to do his own thing.
