Realizing her thoughts had drifted off, Zhu Qinghao quickly snapped back to reality, shook her head, and cleared away all those inappropriate ideas.
"What are you thinking about? You little brain, aren't you going to order? Aren't you hungry? The waiter will be here to urge us soon."
Upon hearing Zhu Qinghao's words, Si Tian jumped up.
"Okay, can we eat at home today? I have something delicious to eat and I'd like to invite you to eat with me."
After saying that, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhu Qinghao, her eyes full of expectation.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Qinghao couldn't bear to refuse. She glanced at her helplessly and agreed.
When she saw that the other party had agreed, Si Tian almost jumped for joy.
"Wow! Great! I bought something really nice today. I guarantee you'll love it. I'll show it to you when we get home, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone!"
Zhu Qinghao didn't know what Si Tian had brought out again, but seeing that Si Tian herself knew she couldn't tell others, she didn't try to persuade her further and could only smile and agree.
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't tell anyone."
Aren't you going to ask me what I am?
"I won't ask, you won't tell me anyway."
"Then guess what it is, okay? Please, okay?"
"I won't guess, I can't guess."
"Ah, just guess..."
"..."
On the way back to the brigade, Zhu Qinghao glanced around but didn't see Sheng Yi. She frowned slightly, without even realizing it herself.
However, Si Tian noticed it, but she didn't say anything. She just suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to turn up, and only her bright eyes revealed a slyness.
However, Zhu Qinghao's mind was not on her at the moment, because she couldn't help but wonder, if Sheng Yi didn't take the tractor, how did he get back? He couldn't have walked back, could he?
It wasn't until the tractor started and the village women started chatting with them that Zhu Qinghao came back to her senses.
Perhaps because they had done it many times and gained more experience, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian were much more relaxed and natural when chatting with them this time than before.
Most of the villagers were very kind and helpful. Knowing that they were newcomers and didn't know much, they told them a lot about the village.
Besides Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian, as well as the village aunties and grandmothers, there were also several former educated youths from the educated youth settlement on the same bus.
However, the two of them didn't talk to those people at all. They just nodded slightly to the few people who hadn't had any unpleasant encounters yet when they got on the bus, as a way of greeting them.
Wang Lan and Zhou Chunli were also there. They watched as the village women chatted so happily with Zhu Qinghao, their expressions as if someone owed them money.
The more they acted this way, the less willing the aunties and older women were to pay attention to the two of them. They kept talking to the ever-smiling Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian, one after another.
When they arrived in the village and got off the bus, Wang Lan couldn't hold back anymore.
"She's just a vixen, what's there to be proud of..."
Before she could finish speaking, she met Zhu Qinghao's cold gaze, and her eyes kept darting around as she reluctantly swallowed the rest of her words.
