Afraid the other wouldn't have enough to eat, Liu Fei even ordered an eight-yuan large portion of mixed rice noodles for her.
He felt that hearty mixed rice noodles were quite good.
In the end, that girl also finished that portion. After paying the bill, Liu Fei took her for a leisurely walk around campus, chatting.
After chatting for almost an hour, Liu Fei thought of Su Yun who had already taken the campus belle girlfriend out for their honeymoon, and mustered up his courage.
Su Yun could be so determined, that level of courage was definitely greater than his, so he couldn't be a coward either.
So finally, on the steps of the sports field, with the help of the dark night, Liu Fei confessed his feelings to her.
After Liu Fei finished speaking, the girl was silent for a moment, then excitedly responded to him.
She agreed!
And now in class, that girl sat beside Liu Fei. Both of them had average grades, and they listened carefully in class, asking the teacher when they didn't understand.
In order to teach her, Liu Fei listened more carefully than usual and thought about more things.
This way, during those boring computer classes, he would also can't help fantasizing about her wearing black stockings.
But this kind of fantasy gave him motivation to study, fantasizing for just a moment would give him energy.
Although the girl he liked couldn't compare to the campus belle in looks and figure—she was even quite ordinary—in Liu Fei's eyes, her genuine, natural, and gentle personality was the best.
Liu Fei still felt it was Su Yun's techniques that had helped him.
But actually, what Su Yun gave Liu Fei was courage. Otherwise, if a girl really didn't like you, she probably wouldn't even be willing to come to the library, let alone eight-yuan rice noodles.
"I didn't understand this part just now, can you teach me?" After the last class before noon ended, the girl asked Liu Fei softly.
She had been like this all morning, she waited until after class to talk.
"Mm mm, this part, look here." Seeing this, Liu Fei immediately turned around and began explaining to her in great detail.
Liu Fei felt this was the first time he had been so confident.
"Is Chen Tingting here?" Just then, a rough male voice came from the doorway, making them both suddenly look over.
It was just after class, almost everyone was still in the classroom, and Chen Tingting was naturally there too.
Chen Tingting saw that familiar face outside the door and couldn't help trembling.
She knew why he had rushed to the classroom.
"Oh, so you're here, Tingting." Soon, the male outside the door walked in.
He wore a kind smile on his face, appearing to have no malicious intent.
Chen Tingting seemed to shrink back after seeing him.
But this was a classroom full of people—she couldn't hide.
When the outsider said he was looking for Chen Tingting, everyone thought he was Chen Tingting's new boyfriend, so no one stopped him.
"What are you doing here? I already broke up with you!" Seeing Shi Lezhi about to come up and take Chen Tingting's hand, she suddenly shouted loudly.
"?" At that moment, everyone in the class turned their attention over.
They completely believed her words—this man was a scumbag.
"Tingting, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense, there are so many people here. Come on, let's go eat."
"Sorry, I told her some stories, so she's like this." Shi Lezhi smiled and turned to explain to the people in the class.
At this moment, the people in the class changed their minds again, thinking Chen Tingting was throwing a tantrum.
"I don't want to eat with you. You already have a new girlfriend, why do you keep harassing me?"
"Last weekend when you asked me out, you tried to force yourself on me. If I hadn't fought back desperately, I'd probably be in the hospital now."
Faced with her angry accusations, his expression changed at an alarming speed, making even Shi Lezhi's eyes widen.
Damn, I have to hold back.
You fucking bitch, still so good at acting.
"Tingting, didn't you love me?"
At this time, Chen Tingting's roommate also stood up to help speak.
Previously, after Chen Tingting was slapped, she had already told her roommate that she had become a poor girl being harassed by a scumbag ex-boyfriend.
Seeing Chen Tingting's roommate appear, the people in the class also felt this situation was a bit off.
"Hey, this is our classroom." A male with a similar build to Shi Lezhi stood up.
Most of the boys had measurements that fell within the school's admission standards.
Although he looked intimidating at first glance, like a gang member, he was actually a good student.
"Mind your own business, brother, don't interfere." Shi Lezhi was already getting angry and began threatening the person in front of him.
But that guy didn't care about any of this—he only knew that a girl in his class was being bullied by someone else.
He pushed Shi Lezhi with both hands and forcibly drove him out.
"Get lost!"
"..." After being pushed out, Shi Lezhi's whole body trembled.
He stood there, his mouth twisted with rage, looking completely vicious.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life.
But since Chen Tingting knew what he had done, he couldn't be too aggressive and could only endure this silently.
Shi Lezhi clenched his fists and punched the wall with all his strength.
This punch was like a mage fighting a warrior—completely ineffective.
......
......
Near noon, Su Yun's family was at a courtyard in a certain village. They had been searching tirelessly for half the day, and the time had already reached 3 PM.
The ground in this village was all paved with cement, and farmhouses were scattered everywhere on the mountains.
"He'll be back from out of town tomorrow,” Said the old man.
“Good, good, thank you, uncle." Wang Haiyan was now facing an elderly grandfather sitting in a wheelchair.
This was the brother of Su Yun's maternal grandfather, of the same generation, both surnamed Wang.
"I don't need these things." The old man waved his hand slowly, his voice sounding somewhat hoarse and low, and his speech was also somewhat incoherent.
“Don’t you have a grandson? Give it to him,” said Wang Haiyan with a smile.
“Right, brother! Give this to your grandson. It’s really tasty!”
Beside them was Wang Haiyan's father, who like the seated old man, was already white-haired and over 70 years old.
“Thank you.”
The old man finally accepted their gifts.
What Su Fulin’s group brought were essential offerings when asking for help.
However, they weren’t actually that expensive: just four boxes of milk worth around 200 yuan.
But actually, Su Fulin had originally wanted to bring some expensive things to visit, but Wang Haiyan had instructed him not to buy them.
Fortunately, Wang Haiyan's father had come along. With connections, they could easily talk.
This person's son worked at the police station in the county seat. Now that person is on vacation and will be back tomorrow. He was about the same age as Su Fulin. Tomorrow they would bring some good cigarettes and have a good talk—this might provide a solution.
After finding the person, Wang Haiyan's father was also preparing to go home to work.
“Dad, why are you still doing farm work at your age? You should be resting. What if your health gives out?”
Wang Haibin said to his father while supporting him.
“Stop working for now. Let’s go get something to eat together,” Su Fulin said.
“Yeah, let’s eat first, Dad.”
After a day of running around and being quite tired and hungry, Su Yun's family got in the car and drove to town to eat something good.
The distance from here to where Su Yun lived was actually quite far, so they could only send a message on their phone, writing "having lunch" to let them know.
......
......
In the afternoon, Su Yun had already taken Qin Xue out to look for lunch.
There was no emergency because Qin Yuanyuan had also gotten through using the excuse of taking an afternoon nap, so no phone calls were needed.
Su Yun, who went out at this time, was still wearing a dress, just with shorts added underneath.
Qin Xue was wearing the heavy men's clothing she had worn before, wrapped up tightly for warmth.
To be honest, when Su Yun saw Qin Xue wearing her masculine clothes, she felt like the other had really become her girlfriend.
But from an objective perspective, with Su Yun now wearing a dress and Qin Xue dressed in men's coat like this, if they really were a couple, Su Yun would be more like the girlfriend, and especially laying in the bed…
Walking on the road, Su Yun found that the open shops were almost all convenience stores.
"Not many shops are open here at noon. Everyone probably went to work elsewhere."
"Mm, it's fine, we'll look slowly."
Compared to Summer End City where the roads were flashing with colorful lights, Su Yun's place here had few shops open at noon and looked somewhat desolate.
Moreover, there weren't even traffic lights for crossing the road here.
Sparse population, backward transportation—the only advantage was quiet.
Qin Xue had never seen this kind of scenery either and found it quite interesting, looking around curiously behind Su Yun.
