The spring water is clear and transparent, and contains incredible power. It can not only strengthen the body's functions, but also enlighten the mind, making the two young puppies appear particularly smart and clever, and they can always accurately capture every subtle emotion of hers.
Xu Qinghe looked at their contented expressions and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She carefully cleaned the dining table and added fresh spiritual spring water for them, ensuring that their needs were met before taking them to meet their needs in nature.
She did not move away, thinking about the unfinished design drawings in her mind. She knew that her work had to continue and she could not slack off for a moment.
However, fate always seems to like to weave adventures inadvertently.
Just when Xu Qinghe was taking her puppy for a walk, she unexpectedly met Wang Song.
Wang Song never expected that he would be so lucky as to meet Xu Qinghe on such an ordinary evening.
With a warm smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward, trying to break the delicate atmosphere between the two with a casual greeting: "Comrade Xu, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here!"
As soon as Wang Song finished speaking, the two puppies began to bark alertly. Although they were small and not even as high as an adult's knee when standing, their courage to protect their owner was no less.
They stood firmly in front of Xu Qinghe, their small bodies seeming to form an insurmountable wall.
Faced with the puppy's hostility, Wang Song's smile seemed a little forced.
He knew very well that he only needed to give a light kick to make the two little guys retreat, but under Xu Qinghe's gaze, not only could he not do that, but he had to find a way to win their favor.
So he pulled a warm boiled egg from his pocket, slowly squatted down, and tried to use it as an olive branch of peace.
Xu Qinghe observed silently from the side, feeling somewhat puzzled by Wang Song's sudden action, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel curious.
Wang Song skillfully peeled the eggshell, split the egg into two halves, and carefully extended them to the two puppies, hoping that they would accept this gift of peace.
However, these two loyal little guys still stood firm at their posts, standing in front of Xu Qinghe, showing their sharp teeth, and were indifferent to Wang Song's goodwill.
Wang Song seemed confused and embarrassed, and couldn't help asking, "Don't they like eggs?"
Xu Qinghe then spoke slowly, with a hint of pride in his tone: "They won't accept food from strangers casually."
In her opinion, these two puppies had been nourished by her day after day with spiritual spring water and carefully selected food, and had been strictly trained. If an ordinary egg could make them betray their loyalty, wouldn't all her efforts be meaningless?
Wang Song's smile became a little stiff, and he was secretly surprised that these two animals could have such wisdom as not to accept gifts from strangers.
What's more, he thought that he was not completely unfamiliar with Xu Qinghe. After all, they had met several times before.
He tried hard to maintain a friendly appearance, but his words could hardly hide his displeasure: "Oh, look how smart you've made these two little guys!"
Xu Qinghe had sharp eyes and saw through his thoughts at a glance. He said impatiently, "Yes, in that case, what do you want to see me about?"
There was obvious displeasure in her eyes, as if she had already sensed that Wang Song's visit might not have been out of good intentions.
Wang Song noticed Xu Qinghe's dissatisfaction, and the smile on his face froze instantly, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said sincerely, "Actually, I came here tonight specifically to apologize to you. My previous behavior was indeed too impulsive, and I accidentally offended you, causing you unnecessary trouble and annoyance. I have always felt very guilty about this."
Having traveled thousands of miles to this unpretentious little village, I have become an indispensable member of this warm and extended family. You have dedicated so much hard work and perseverance to this village. Your selflessness and perseverance fill me with deep admiration, yet also make me feel immense shame and reflection on my past actions. Therefore, please accept this small gift from me. Although it may be insignificant, it carries with it my deepest apology and respect.
As I spoke, I slowly took out a watch from the depths of my pocket. It was a watch that meant a lot to me. It was a precious gift my dear father gave me on my birthday last year.
For a moment, I felt mixed emotions, a mixture of reluctance and determination, but then I thought, as the old saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it, so I hardened my heart and took out this treasure.
In my opinion, this watch is undoubtedly the key to open Xu Qinghe's heart.
I think a girl who grew up in the countryside and has not seen much of the prosperous world would be very moved by such an exquisite item.
She may not fully understand how to assess its value, not to mention that in such an environment, even if she has money, it may not be easy to buy such a fine item.
The temptation of the watch was undoubtedly irresistible to her.
However, Xu Qinghe's reaction was far beyond my expectations.
She thought I would take out some rare treasure, but it turned out to be just an ordinary old watch. What surprised her even more was that I acted like I was giving it as if it was a gift from heaven.
Little did they know that the watch was already outdated, with frayed edges and the surface covered with traces of time, making it look both old and undignified.
"No reward without merit. I haven't done anything for you to deserve such a reward. You should just take it back." Xu Qinghe said in a flat tone. Her attention seemed to be more focused on the two lively puppies beside her. She just glanced at the watch quickly and paid no more attention to it.
At that moment, my heart was filled with frustration and confusion. This was a watch that I treasured so much, why did Xu Qinghe treat it with such disdain?
Is it because her world is so narrow that she can't even recognize a watch?
Or is it that she actually knows this very well and is just pretending?
To save face, I cleared my throat and emphasized again, "Comrade Xu, you may not realize that this isn't just a watch, but a precious item that's hard to buy even with money. My willingness to give it to you, isn't that enough to prove my sincerity? Are you really going to hold a grudge against me just because of such trivial matters?"
Xu Qinghe almost laughed at my stubbornness when she heard this, but she maintained a serious expression and responded calmly, "I repeat, there is no personal grudge between us. I chose to keep my distance from you purely because I don't want to get too close to the educated youth group and cause trouble."
"As for your suggestion of a watch as an apology, that's totally unnecessary. I already have a watch of my own."
