Thus, Shen Jingjing didn't refuse again: "Then I will thank Miss Ni Man for her kindness."

Ni Man smiled: "You're welcome."

Afterward, both sides said goodbye to each other, and Shen Ci helped her mother walk out of the "Huadu Building" toward the luxury car waiting by the roadside.

Jiang Yuanliang's gaze followed Shen Jingjing as she drifted into the distance, and he didn't slowly withdraw his gaze until she disappeared from view.

"Ms. Shen has a really good personality and is very charming," Ni Man suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Yuanliang and said.

Jiang Yuanliang nodded without hesitation.

The next day, Shen Ci got up early.

"Why not sleep a little longer? Do you have class this morning?"

Shen Jingjing, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

Shen Ci was holding Yoda, preparing to take it out for a walk: "No class. I'm going to accompany my sister-in-law to the hospital for a prenatal checkup later."

"Put Yoda down. I'll take it to the company after I finish eating," Shen Jingjing said, coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming wonton noodles: "Eat quickly."

Shen Ci nodded and was just about to sit down when the doorbell suddenly rang.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, their expressions very surprised.

It was only past seven...

"I'll go see."

Shen Ci walked to the entrance and saw a young man in work clothes standing there through the camera outside the gate, holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hands.

She then opened the door and walked out, heading toward the gate.

From afar, the young man said: "Excuse me, are you Ms. Shen? There are flowers for you!"

"Who sent them?"

"The signature is Mr. Fei."

Shen Ci suddenly realized, a smile naturally spreading across her face. After signing for them on her mother's behalf and thanking the delivery guy, she carried the flowers back.

"Flowers?" Seeing this, Shen Jingjing thought they were sent by one of her daughter's suitors: "Who sent them?"

Shen Ci looked at her mother meaningfully, placed the flowers gently on the table, then took the card off and read it softly: "Ms. Shen, may you have a wonderful day. Wishing you everything as you wish."

She raised her eyebrows; the wording on this card was quite subtle.

Shen Jingjing realized what was happening and hurriedly snatched the card from her daughter's hand: "Who is it!"

Looking closely at the signature—Mr. Fei!

She was stunned. Shen Ci leaned forward and laughed: "Mom, this Uncle Fei is clearly a man of action. You'd better be prepared."

Panic flashed across Shen Jingjing's eyes, clearly showing she wasn't prepared.

"Eat your food quickly."

Shen Ci shrugged and didn't say anything more.

Longda University.

It was only morning today, and the temperature had already reached thirty degrees.

Before military training began, students found shady spots to stand, gathering in groups of three or five to chat and laugh.

"Sang Hui!"

A classmate patted Sang Hui on the shoulder and pointed to a spot not far away: "That person is looking for you!"

Sang Hui turned back to look, and when she saw who it was, the smile that had originally been on her face faded by three points.

The classmate beside her also recognized him: "Isn't that the boy? He even found his way to our class's formation."

Another classmate gave Sang Hui a light push: "Go quickly, don't leave him hanging; it's quite hot."

Sang Hui hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"Classmate, are you looking for me for something?" Approaching, Sang Hui tilted her head slightly and asked.

Guo Yu had his hands in his pockets, his brows and eyes smiling as he tilted his head to look at her: "Didn't I tell you my name is Guo Yu? Why do you still call me 'classmate'?"

Sang Hui pursed her lips and didn't respond. Guo Yu wasn't annoyed and asked again: "Why don't you reply to my messages?"

The two had added each other on WeChat, and Guo Yu had sent Sang Hui messages several times, but Sang Hui had only replied the first two times, and her attitude was very perfunctory.

"We aren't close yet," Sang Hui said bluntly, not being coy.

Guo Yu laughed instead: "We need to chat more to get close..."

As he spoke, he took two things out of his pocket and handed them to Sang Hui: "Sunscreen and medicine to prevent heatstroke. If you take them now, you won't easily get heatstroke later."

Sang Hui looked at his outstretched hand, shook her head, and refused: "Classmate, this isn't appropriate. I can't accept your things for no reason."

"They aren't valuable items."

"That's still not appropriate."

"Then will you accompany me for a walk by the Houcheng River tonight?"

Sang Hui frowned, impatience flashing in her eyes: "That's even less appropriate. You should go back; don't waste your energy on me."

Having said that, she turned and left.

Guo Yu was rebuffed, but he wasn't annoyed in his heart. He just looked at Sang Hui's back and couldn't help but laugh at himself, muttering: "Quite hard to handle."

And this scene happened to be seen by Jiang Ran, who was also in the Department of Architecture.

She would recognize Guo Yu even if he turned to ash.

At noon, just after sitting down in the cafeteria, Shi Jingming gulped down a whole bottle of iced mineral water: "Damn it, I'm about to be baked into an eggplant. Why isn't it raining in this ghostly weather? It's so hot every day!"

"Shen Xing, I saw Guo Yu today!"

Jiang Ran spoke directly, startling Shi Jingming into sitting up straight: "Did he give you trouble?"

Shen Xing's expression also tightened: "You should avoid him. This person is no good."

Thinking of how Guo Yu had made things difficult for him twice, Shen Xing was genuinely worried about Jiang Ran; after all, she was a girl.

"This time it wasn't me, he's pestering Sang Hui!"

As soon as these two words came out, Shen Xing's eyes widened instantly, and Shi Jingming also subconsciously looked at Shen Xing.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xing's hair stood on end, and his scalp went numb.

Jiang Ran told Shen Xing what she saw this morning, and added: "But I saw that Sang Hui's attitude toward him was quite cold, and she didn't take the things he gave her."

Shen Xing felt a blockage in his heart, a feeling he couldn't describe.

Jiang Ran continued: "But Shen Xing, Sang Hui is very popular. Many boys have taken the initiative to approach her. Guo Yu is not an exception. If you really like her, you have to work hard."

As a friend, she naturally hoped Shen Xing could pursue the girl he liked.

Shi Jingming didn't speak, just kept staring at Shen Xing.

Shen Xing lowered his eyes, but his fists were clenched tightly under the table.

After eating, he summoned the courage to find Sang Hui, who was sitting in the shade by the volleyball court with her friends.

He was naturally nervous, but he had no other distractions. He didn't want someone as wonderful as Sang Hui to be stuck to by a dog-skin plaster like Guo Yu, so he had to take the initiative.

He walked up quickly, and only when he walked up did Sang Hui discover it was Shen Xing.

Before she could speak, Shen Xing had already handed a cup of milk tea to Sang Hui, looking directly into her eyes and saying: "Classmate Sang Hui, please have a drink."

The atmosphere stagnated for a moment because Shen Xing's words and actions were truly too clumsy and not natural enough.

The girl beside her laughed out loud first: "Why is it drinking again? Handsome, do you boys have any fresh tricks?"

As soon as she said this, the other girls around also laughed.

Shen Xing's face flushed with embarrassment.

But the next second, Sang Hui took the initiative to reach out and take the milk tea he handed over, looking at him with a slight smile: "Thanks!"

Happy breakup.
