Chapter 1430: The Deepest Love, Forty or Fifty Catties

He divided the lightest bag for Gu Yuxin: "You take this one."

Gu Yuxin refused: "I won't! You carry them all."

"Let's go quickly, if we go late, the courier station will be off work."

She swaggered toward the outside, walking quite fast.

Zichen had no choice but to follow, grumbling to himself: "Unreasonable, fierce woman, I curse you to never get married in the future."

The two children left, and the grandfather and grandmother began to comment on Sheng Zichen.

Grandfather felt that this child Sheng Zichen was very good, open and aboveboard, not the kind of person who acts one way to your face and another behind your back.

The old man was advanced in age, his eyes were sharp, and he was very accurate at judging people.

Grandmother also felt that her precious granddaughter treated this boy differently than she treated other boys!

Although her granddaughter had had a willful temperament since she was small, she was not delicate.

She had never seen her let a boy help her carry things; she always did everything she could do herself.

And as for inviting a boy to their home, there had been no one else besides Sheng Zichen.

The old couple felt that their granddaughter's heart had begun to stir, and she was a young woman now.

The old couple approved of Sheng Zichen's character, but they were a bit dissatisfied with his family background!

Sheng Zichen said his family did small business, and his biggest dream for the future was to be a cook.

……

On campus.

Zichen followed behind Gu Yuxin, gradually becoming a bit physically exhausted.

So he protested: "Hey! If you aren't going to carry a single thing, I'm just going to drop them all."

"You dare to threaten me?"

"I'm not threatening you, at least you should be reasonable. You can't just pick on me alone, right? We met several classmates just now, why didn't you let others help?"

On the way the two had just walked, they encountered three or four male classmates who kindly wanted to help, but she didn't allow it!

She said she should do her own things herself.

"Fine, I'll carry one, you're nagging so much, you don't look like a man."

"You look like one!"

While the two were bickering, they arrived at the courier station.

The courier was clearly an acquaintance; seeing Gu Yuxin, he smiled: "Yuxin, are you here again to send stationery to the children in the impoverished mountain areas?"

"Yes, please weigh them for me, these are quite heavy this time."

After weighing them, it became awkward when it was time to pay the postage—there was no money in her wallet!

"Help me pay it for now, I'll pay you back later," Gu Yuxin said to Zichen.

Zichen helped her pay the postage: one hundred and thirty yuan.

The two came out of the courier point, and Zichen began to look Gu Yuxin up and down, looking her over and over, as if he didn't recognize her.

Gu Yuxin glared at him: "What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll gouge your eyeballs out."

"Since when did you start sponsoring impoverished children? I also sponsor a few students, but I just give money; they can go buy whatever they are missing themselves." Zichen discovered another point he had in common with her.

He had been sponsoring impoverished children for several years, but no one had ever known, including his own siblings and his mom and dad.

Because he felt there was no need to go around boasting; it was a good thing to be able to help others, but boasting about it made it seem deliberate, and it was unnecessary.

But he would tell Gu Yuxin because the two had a common "hobby" and could exchange ideas.

Gu Yuxin said: "I don't provide funds; donating money is indeed convenient, but sometimes that money doesn't reach the students' hands..."

She had grown up at Jiang University since she was small, and she had seen students of her parents go to the countryside to teach, witnessing with her own eyes that some impoverished households, upon receiving outside donations, would first buy food and drink instead of buying stationery and books to let the children receive a better education.

Some even compared with each other, comparing who got more and who got less, and then they would start fighting... Zichen had never heard of these things; he was shocked at first, and then wanted to hear more.

And then?

And then?

The two started chatting while walking, and when they got tired of walking, they found a bench to sit and chat, chatting until their stomachs were "rumbling," only then realizing that they had long passed dinner time.

"You treat me to a meal, eat something good, I don't have any money." Gu Yuxin returned to her usual self.

Zichen protested: "Why are you nice to everyone else, but so fierce to me?"

Gu Yuxin: "Got a problem with that? If you have a problem, suck it up. I just like bullying you. Hurry up and treat me to dinner."

Treat her? Fine.

It's no big deal.

The two bypassed the nearby options, leaving the school Cafeteria right in front of them, and instead went to a small shop without even a sign opposite the Normal University to eat sour and spicy noodles.

Gu Yuxin said their sour and spicy noodles were unique, and guaranteed that once you ate them, you would want them a second time.

As a seasoned foodie, it was impossible to refuse anything delicious, so the two went.

It was long past mealtime, but the snack stall was still full.

After waiting for ten minutes, it was finally their turn; each had a bowl of classic sour and spicy noodles, slurping until they were teary-eyed.

"Boss, two bottles of iced yogurt, please."

Zichen asked for the yogurt and handed a bottle to Gu Yuxin: "Drink it, yogurt relieves the spiciness!"

"So spicy, so spicy!"

Gu Yuxin kept wiping her tears and nose with a paper towel.

One hand still had to use chopsticks to slurp the noodles in small bites; both hands were occupied, and she couldn't spare a hand to open the yogurt lid.

"Help me open it and put the straw in, hurry up." She was used to bullying Sheng Zichen and didn't feel there was anything wrong with doing this at all.

Zichen was also used to being bullied by her, and seeing that her state from the spiciness was truly comical, he didn't hold it against her.

He not only considerately opened the lid, but also inserted a straw and handed it to her lips.

So she naturally leaned over and took a deep, large gulp.

It really was useful.

Iced yogurt is great for relieving spiciness!

How had she never discovered this before?

Thinking this, she asked aloud: "I never knew iced yogurt relieved spiciness before; how did you discover it?"

Zichen played mysterious: "If you promise not to bully me anymore, I'll tell you."

"In your dreams, not a chance!" Gu Yuxin rolled her eyes and reached out to pat him on the forehead.

Zichen patted her back indignantly: "Are you ever going to stop? I'm telling you, if it weren't for the fact that you're a girl, I would have fought back long ago. Don't you understand what it means to yield? Don't push your luck."

"I'm pushing my luck, so what?"

As she said this, she took the yogurt in front of Zichen as well; one bottle wasn't enough to drink.

The two of them bickered, enjoying it immensely.

But what they didn't know was that in the eyes of others, this kind of bickering was the same as flirting.

Outside the window.

One girl said to another: "Feifei, let's go, stop looking. A three-legged toad is hard to find, but aren't there plenty of two-legged people? It's just one tall, rich, and handsome guy, don't be sad, I'll introduce you to someone even more handsome and wealthy..."

The girls outside the window left, and the people inside were completely unaware.

One week later.

It was the weekend again, and Gu Yuxin asked Sheng Zichen to go off-campus to eat hot and sour glass noodles; he grabbed his jacket and ran out.

His roommate teased: "Yo, Zichen, you've got something going on; you don't actually like the 'Female Devil', do you?"

"I like her?"

Zichen denied it: "That's impossible, what I like is hot and sour glass noodles, definitely not the Female Devil."

Denying it with his mouth, he ran away at top speed.
