[Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Xiao Shen and I...are not in a relationship]
Seeing that she didn't move, Cheng Liyan felt a little uncomfortable and explained: "The things here are heavy, you can't move them. Go back to the house and clean them up."
"Okay." Shen Yuyao had no choice but to go back into the house and stand by the door watching them move.
Cheng Liyan bought a total of three large items at the commission bank.
They were a camphorwood box, a two-door cabinet, and a double desk that had been discarded by the school.
In addition, he also bought a rack for the washbasin, two tall square stools, and a small wooden stool.
With Lao Zhang's help, the things were unloaded quickly.
Lao Zhang went home and got some tools for repairing furniture and lent them to Cheng Liyan, then hurriedly rode his bike back to work.
The young man from the supply and marketing cooperative also left after unloading the goods.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, the neighbors went home and the yard finally became quiet for a while.
The coal delivery man stacked the coal, and together with Cheng Liyan, moved the cabinet into the house, and then left.
Cheng Liyan was left alone to work outside.
The items bought from the consignment bank are not brand new, and each one has some problems to some extent.
For example, the legs of the two benches were loose and needed to be knocked, and one of the legs of the desk was short and needed to be padded with a piece of wood.
Anyway, they were just minor problems, so Cheng Liyan planned to fix them before returning to the army.
Shen Yuyao didn't go over this time. She couldn't do those things, and going out would only cause trouble.
She stayed in the house to pack up the things the man bought.
At the same time, I watched him quietly through the door.
My mother said that to see whether a man is really good to you, it mainly depends on whether he cares about you in his heart.
Looking at the bed full of things, Shen Yuyao thought - this should be it, right?
He should have his own mind.
When Mrs. Qian came in with the freshly boiled water, she saw the little girl absentmindedly packing her things while glancing outside from time to time.
Outside, Team Leader Cheng was holding a piece of wood in his hand and gesturing with a look of great concentration.
Her heart moved, and she couldn't help but lean over and whisper, "Xiao Shen, are you and Captain Cheng dating?"
This was the second time today that someone had asked her about her relationship with Cheng Liyan.
Shen Yuyao still didn't answer.
She just lowered her head and smiled softly.
That look was shy and timid.
Mrs. Qian immediately understood what was going on and thought the little girl was just shy.
She smiled knowingly and didn't ask any more questions. She left the hot water for Shen Yuyao to fill the bottle and then went out.
She walked to Cheng Liyan's side and couldn't help but move closer.
Asked: "Captain Cheng, are you and Xiao Shen dating? Oh, this girl is pretty good. I have never seen anyone so pretty in my life!
You have good taste, the two of them look really good together."
Cheng Liyan didn't expect that Mrs. Qian would stop and tell him this.
Although he was already a little tempted, he had not reported the matter to his unit yet.
Now he didn't dare to promise anything rashly.
He quickly said, "No, no, sister-in-law, please don't say anything nonsense. Xiao Shen and I...are not in a relationship. I'm just helping to settle her down."
These words startled Mrs. Qian, and she subconsciously looked towards the house.
In the room, Shen Yuyao was tidying up things on the bed with her back to them.
The yard was quiet, and even through the door she could hear the words clearly.
She immediately stopped what she was doing, strode to the door, stood there and looked at Cheng Liyan quietly.
Although Shen Yuyao didn't say a word, Mrs. Qian suddenly felt a little cold.
For the first time she realized—
The girl in the room didn't seem as delicate as she appeared.
She couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Cheng Liyan, not quite understanding what this man meant by what he had just said.
Anyone with eyes can tell that they are a couple!
Could it be that there are other reasons behind this refusal to admit it?
Mrs. Qian suddenly felt that what she had just asked was a bit redundant.
She immediately smiled awkwardly at Cheng Liyan, turned around and went back to her room without saying another word.
Of course Cheng Liyan also felt Shen Yuyao's gaze.
He hammered the last nail in and then went into the house carrying the bench.
He placed the student desks against the wall and then put two benches under the desks.
While doing this, he said to Shen Yuyao: "This room is too small to put a square table. You can use this desk for now. We can find a suitable one later."
After saying that, he went over and adjusted the washbasin rack, and placed the camphorwood box at the head of Shen Yuyao's bed, using it to temporarily replace the bedside table.
He also moved the unused broken bench and the red lacquered cabinet to the door, planning to return them to his sister-in-law after giving her the money.
Shen Yuyao watched him work silently.
It was not until Cheng Liyan had almost finished his work and looked at his watch as he was about to leave that she finally asked, "You're not planning to marry me, are you?"
Cheng Liyan felt embarrassed again.
He had to explain again: "I told you before, I'm a soldier, and marriage needs the approval of the organization. I have to go back and write a report, and then submit it to the higher-level unit for approval, which requires a process. Before the unit agrees, it's not easy to admit this relationship."
Shen Yuyao nodded.
Cheng Liyan did say this.
She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that since it was the rule, she should just follow it.
But just now, when Cheng Liyan denied that he and her were in a relationship——
Shen Yuyao suddenly realized that this seemed to have always been her wishful thinking?
Since they started at the train station, she has been sticking to this man.
She wanted to come with him, she pulled him, chased him, forced him to take her with him...
She was the one who took the initiative in everything, and Cheng Liyan was actually forced to do so.
After figuring this out, Shen Yuyao felt a sense of loss.
A sadness she had never experienced before.
But soon, she took a deep breath and regained her spirit.
She is the daughter of the prime minister and has her own pride.
Since she knew that the other party didn't really want to marry her, she wouldn't force it.
Anyway, now she has a place to stay and is in touch with her father and mother. At least she doesn't have to worry about food and life for the time being.
Shen Yuyao felt that even without Cheng Liyan's help, she should be able to survive in this world.
Of course, she will never forget the kindness others have shown her, and she must repay them.
She will also return what she owes to others as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyao smiled again.
My mother said that you should never show your emotions at any time.
The more unhappy you are, the more you should show your most dignified and best side to others.
She will do it.
She nodded gently towards Cheng Liyan and said, "Thank you. I have caused you so much trouble these two days. Without your help, I really don't know if I can survive."
Cheng Liyan looked at the girl opposite him who was smiling brightly at him, but he did not feel happy.
He always felt something was odd.
The smile seemed to be embedded in her face.
He couldn't help but frown.
Cheng Liyan opened his mouth and wanted to explain a few more words.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuyao no longer paid attention to him, but turned around, took out a jade pendant from her original small package and handed it to him.
The jade pendant was as big as Shen Yuyao's palm. Just a glance at it showed that the jade was crystal clear and moist, and was worth a lot of money.
But where did this thing come from?
Doesn’t she come from an ordinary working-class family? How could she have such a thing?
Cheng Liyan's face suddenly darkened.
