Chapter 452: I Really Lost My Head; Why Did I Take On This Job

The two were classmates; when they were working at the commune's office, they had taken good care of Liu Shuqin many times.

He had once secretly liked Liu Shuqin for a while, but unfortunately, Liu Shuqin said she would find someone in the city who ate grain rations, so he gave up on that thought.

It was also because of the things Liu Shuqin did to Liu Chuxue that he held a grudge against her; he never expected the always arrogant Liu Shuqin to end up like this: "Do you really want to apologize to Liu Chuxue?"

"Now everyone in the village knows Liu Chuxue has made something of herself. I'm not going to kill anyone, so naturally I don't want to go against her, but because of what happened before, how could I possibly go to her door? So I came begging to you. You wouldn't refuse to help with something this small, would you?"

Liu Cunyi raised his hand and touched the back of his head: "Alright then, I'll go over tomorrow and pass on the message for you."

Liu Shuqin grew anxious: "That won't do."

Hearing her say that, Liu Cunyi looked suspicious: "Why won't it do?"

Liu Shuqin coughed lightly: "Tomorrow she'll probably be back in the city for work. Who knows when she'll be back again? I don't want to drag this out; otherwise, I'll feel uneasy. Please do me the favor of running over right now, will you?"

After all, they were classmates for several years, plus he had secretly liked her for a while: "Alright, I'll run over for you right now."

Seeing that he agreed, Liu Shuqin's face was full of joy: "When you go find her, don't mention me first. Can you find some other excuse?"

"Why?" Liu Cunyi frowned slightly.

Liu Shuqin put on a pitiful expression: "You know how badly I offended her before. If she knows I'm the one who asked her to come, she definitely won't show up. Just help me out, please."

Seeing her expression was serious, Liu Cunyi reluctantly nodded and agreed: "Alright, I'll run over for you."

Seeing that he agreed, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for her by the small woods in the south of the village. You must find a way to get her to come over."

Hearing that he had to go to the small woods in the south, Liu Cunyi said: "It's just an apology. Why do we have to go all the way there?"

Liu Shuqin spoke with a hint of coquettishness: "You know how proud I was before. Although I want to apologize to her, I don't want anyone to know, so naturally we need to find a place where we won't be disturbed."

Remembering something, she added: "And don't follow me. I'll feel embarrassed if you're there."

Fearing she might slip up, after speaking, she turned and ran away: "I'll be waiting there, so hurry up."

Seeing her run far away, a look of helplessness flashed across Liu Cunyi's face, and he sighed: "I really lost my head. Why did I take on this job? It's so annoying."

But since he had already agreed, he naturally couldn't stand someone up. He slapped the back of his head and scolded himself in his heart: "Letting your rotten kindness get the better of you. It's all your own fault."

He glanced into the courtyard, lifted his foot, and walked toward Liu Chuxue's house at the end of the village, not forgetting to shout into the courtyard: "Mom, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon."

From the courtyard came Uncle Liangzi's loud voice: "Don't go too far. In a while, go with your father to your grandfather's place to dig a cellar."

"Got it. I'll be back very soon. It won't delay anything."

Hearing him run off, Uncle Liangzi said: "That rascal."

All the way, Liu Cunyi thought about how to tell Liu Chuxue. He pulled his hair until it was almost bald, but still couldn't come up with a perfect explanation. Just as he was worrying, he heard children in the distance say: "Hurry up and eat. In a while, we'll go pick up cicada shells."

Hearing this, his eyes lit up. In the past, they had gone out at night to look for cicada shells many times. Without thinking, he quickened his pace.
