With a broad smile, Xie Yicheng nodded earnestly in agreement. After glancing around, he couldn't resist stealing a kiss from Yun Shu's lips.

After the New Year, he was busy, and the Yunshu educated youth settlement was also in a mess. The two of them hadn't had a proper time alone for a long time, and they hadn't had this kind of intimate interaction between boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time either. Therefore, Xie Yicheng missed the fragrant and soft object in front of him, which looked like a little snowball, terribly.

Yun Shu hadn't expected Xie Yicheng to be this bold now. This was right at the entrance of the educated youth settlement, not the place where they used to sneak around kissing. What if someone saw them?!

Even if it's a well-known relationship, you can't do this!

Yun Shu immediately covered her mouth, her face turning as red as a ripe cherry or pomegranate. She stared wide-eyed at Xie Yicheng in disbelief, only to be defeated by his silly grin—so unlike the gentle, boyish demeanor of someone who had finally gotten what he wanted and satisfied his craving!

After hesitating for a while, Yun Shu decided to "educate" him.

"You can't do that next time, okay? You can... you can kiss me when no one's around."

"Even though everyone knows we're dating, it wouldn't be good if others saw us."

Yun Shu was trying to reason with him, but Xie Yicheng's mind was filled with nothing but Yun Shu's sweet scent and the soft touch of her lips. His ears turned red, and as he watched Yun Shu blink her bright black eyes, he suddenly swallowed hard.

What lies behind those delicate, fair hands? It's moist, soft cherry lips, and a perfectly sculpted jawline…

"I can't think about it anymore!" Xie Yicheng couldn't help but change the subject and shift her focus, both to defend herself and to fight for her own interests.

"It's okay, I just checked, there's no one there."

"That's not OK!"

"...Okay then, I'll kiss you next time when no one's around."

"Well, just remember it."

"So besides vegetable buns, what else would you like to eat tomorrow?"

"We don't need anything else. Jingjing and I cooked some porridge today, and there are some pickled vegetables she made. Why don't you eat with us tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, then I'll bring vegetable buns."

"Well, it's getting late, let's head back!"

Yun Shu didn't lower her hand covering her mouth; she simply waved goodbye to Xie Yicheng without any hesitation. Xie Yicheng was amused and annoyed by this heartless girl who kept chasing him away, but he couldn't bear to be angry with Yun Shu. So, he gently pinched the tip of Yun Shu's exposed nose one last time before reluctantly turning and leaving.

"Then I'm leaving..."

"Yeah! See you tomorrow!"

"..." Xie Yicheng muttered to himself once again.

……

Xie Yicheng walked quite a distance before turning back, still feeling quite pleased with herself. After seeing Xie Yicheng off, Yun Shu turned around and went back to her room. Neither of them noticed their intimate actions at the door, which were all witnessed by Shen Qingmo in the room next to Lin Jingshu.

She hid behind the door and watched Yun Shu walk past the window. Only when Yun Shu disappeared from sight did she turn around and return to the kang (a heated brick bed) somewhat absentmindedly.

Unlike during the day, at this moment... she felt that she had met another true love in her life.

That's right, it's Xie Yicheng!

Xie Yicheng's gentle smile, his handsome face when he was affectionate, and his coquettish manner as he held Yun Shu's hand and swayed it slightly—all of these were so captivating that she had almost subconsciously put herself in Yun Shu's shoes.

Shen Qingmo thought, how happy she would be if she were the one who had secretly kissed Comrade Xie and lingered at the entrance of the educated youth settlement just now.

Moreover, Comrade Xie also seems to be very capable and outstanding.

But... she also felt that Brother Jiang was very reliable and capable, and was exactly the kind of partner she had always dreamed of.

For a moment, Shen Qingmo was caught in a sweet dilemma. She was torn, unsure which one she liked better or which one she wanted more.

Although the two men hadn't spoken more than three sentences to her combined, didn't even know her full name, and were both either already taken or had someone else in their hearts, Shen Qingmo subconsciously ignored this fact.

She felt like a fairy who lived apart from the world, and that people could never understand the love she longed for. Perhaps she had to go through many hardships before she could find her true love.

Xie Yicheng and Jiang Xiucheng have feelings for each other? That's because they don't understand themselves yet!

The thought process of someone obsessed with love is just that absurd and incomprehensible.

……

Yun Shu was unaware that her boyfriend had already fallen for Shen Qingmo, who seemed to fall in love with every woman she met. The boomerang she had warned her best friend to be careful that afternoon had unwittingly pierced her own heart.

It was getting late. After watching the commotion at the educated youth settlement all day and being bothered for most of the afternoon, Yun Shu was also a little tired.

She opened the window and called out twice. Lin Jingshu also poked her head out of her window. The two sisters talked about the breakfast arrangements for the next day while leaning against the window, before closing the window, drawing the curtains, locking the door, and going back to the kang (a heated brick bed) to prepare for bed.

Shen Qingmo, who was in the other room, naturally heard the noise as well. Coming back to her senses from her reverie, she sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at the wall to her right. Suddenly, she frowned and bit her lip.

The woman in the next room, is she Comrade Xie's girlfriend? The progressive youth Xie Yunshu who was commended?

Shen Qingmo suddenly felt unhappy, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why. Perhaps it was the inability to condescendingly make her rival seem utterly worthless? Or perhaps it was the frustration of being unable to use 'moral blackmail' on someone who was clearly morally superior to her.

Shen Qingmo herself probably couldn't quite explain what she felt for Xie Yunshu right now—confidence? Inferiority complex? Arrogance? Or jealousy? She tossed and turned on the rather uncomfortable kang bed for half the night before finally falling asleep with a furrowed brow.

The next morning, Shen Qingmo, who was feeling a bit unwell, was awakened by the crowing of the roosters from her neighbors. After getting up, she glanced at her bare room and felt quite depressed for a while.

But now, there are no male classmates who used to fawn over her all the time when she was in school, and no female classmates will be criticized by male classmates for not being loved by their classmates and will take the initiative to help her with physical work.

Yesterday, when she went to ask Lin Jingshu to switch rooms, she saw the furnishings of Lin Jingshu's room, which were completely different from hers... Thinking of this, Shen Qingmo disliked the 'cold and unkind' Lin Jingshu even more.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Qingmo changed her clothes and went out to wash up. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xie Yicheng, who was wearing a coat, tall and elegant, with a clear face and a smile, walk past her and head straight for Xie Yunshu's room.

I'm even more unhappy now!
