The young couple lingered at the door, not saying goodbye or goodnight. Lin Jingshu had already complained that she couldn't stand it anymore and went back to her room.

Later, Yun Shu was worried that this would have a bad influence, and felt that if things continued like this, it wouldn't just be affectionate but disgusting. So she pushed Xie Yicheng home to rest, since he really had to go to work the next day.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. You too, working in the security department is not without its dangers, so you have to be extra careful."

"We'll see each other again tomorrow night, it'll be so soon, won't it~"

Xie Yicheng, who felt like she was being pampered like a child and was even somewhat disliked, said: "…………".

But thinking about it, it's true. If even that heartless guy has come to this conclusion, anything he says will seem pretentious.

So, with a hint of annoyance, Xie Yicheng ruffled Yun Shu's hair, then hid behind the door and gave Yun Shu a hard kiss on the lips before finally leaving the educated youth settlement, turning back every few steps.

Lin Jingshu suddenly appeared behind Yun Shu, put her arm around Yun Shu's shoulder, and exclaimed, "I can't stand it, I can't stand it anytime, anywhere!"

Yun Shu blushed and turned bright red. She broke free from her best friend's hand and ran back into the house.

……

Yun Shu slept soundly through the night without any dreams.

Xie Yicheng left for work at 6:30. Yun Shu was still asleep at that time. Having gotten to know his girlfriend's personality over the years, Xie Yicheng didn't think about asking for a good morning kiss.

Yun Shu also said that the young man was very sensible.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yun Shu, along with her best friend, three male educated youths, and Du Yujiao, who insisted on joining them with a very flimsy excuse, went up the mountain to pick persimmons.

……

The persimmons here aren't the bright red tomatoes, but rather the pure, sweet persimmons that grow on trees, with yellow flesh, green stems, and a frosty appearance.

These persimmons are excellent whether eaten directly or used to make dried persimmons. Yesterday, when we went up the mountain, Xie Yicheng led her to a good spot with two trees that no one had picked from. So today, Yun Shu decided to go and collect them all.

As for knitting scarves, hats, sweaters, etc., don't rush it, put it aside for now.

……

There are few activities in Northeast China in autumn. The most important event is the autumn harvest. After the harvest, there are basically no large-scale collective activities.

The reason why Fengsheng Brigade sweeps the mountain is because Fengsheng Brigade is located at the foot of Langqing Mountain. Due to its special terrain, only Fengsheng Brigade among the surrounding brigades can receive the gifts of nature from this mountain.

Unlike the rivers used for winter fishing, which flow through more than a dozen production teams and even county towns, these rivers are the only place where most people obtain fish resources in winter.

For rural people in Northeast China, the most common adjectives to describe autumn and winter are harvest and leisure.

So Yun Shu activated the God's-eye view warning function, taking precautions against all sorts of snakes, insects, and rodents that might appear in the mountains, and then went with her friends to enjoy the joy of the harvest.

……

The place wasn't easy to find, but it was precisely because of its remoteness that it became Xie Yicheng's secret haven.

Fortunately, Yun Shu had a map, and her boyfriend had brought her here yesterday, so the journey for the group went smoothly without any unexpected incidents... except for that Du Yujiao.

At first, Yun Shu didn't quite understand why Du Yujiao insisted on forcing herself into the group of five, despite the awkwardness. Later, she saw her lean on Chen Ming when she fell, throw herself at him when she was scared by a bug, and tug at his sleeve when she was tired from walking... She also had a silly and clueless side, even when she tried to be clever.

This left the four people, except for Chen Ming, somewhat shocked.

After a rare and long-awaited exchange of glances, Jiang Xiucheng and Pei Wenyuan remarked that Du Yujiao had been making her presence felt by Chen Ming's side ever since the day before yesterday.

The methods were varied and the techniques were unexpected, which even Chen Ming found difficult to handle.

Anyone with eyes could see that Du Yujiao was interested in Chen Ming, but Chen Ming himself hadn't moved on yet, so how could he start a new relationship so quickly? Therefore, he politely rejected Du Yujiao, hoping she would back down.

But Du Yujiao wouldn't listen! She pretended not to understand.

Because in her heart, Chen Ming's love interest was already taken, and no matter how much Chen Ming liked Xie Yunshu, he was destined to be unrequited. So, dwelling on it was better to let go sooner rather than later. If she could just start by diverting Chen Ming's attention, she would definitely achieve her initial goal.

So no matter what Chen Ming said, Du Yujiao did not back down.

Two days was enough for Du Yujiao to achieve the initial goal of making Chen Ming ignore her. He couldn't drive her away, and he couldn't scold her. The key point was that although she had been following him, she hadn't done anything excessive and was particularly concerned about Chen Ming. Therefore, Jiang Xiucheng and Pei Wenyuan didn't even have the right to help Chen Ming stop Du Yujiao.

Hence the scene today.

……

Seeing Chen Ming's somewhat flustered back and Du Yujiao's relentless pursuit, Yun Shu and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

But Yun Shu noticed a crucial issue: throughout the day, with Du Yujiao by his side, Chen Ming no longer looked at Yun Shu with the same melancholy and sorrow as before.

Perhaps, Du Yujiao is really special to Chen Ming?

This idea was obviously approved by others, and even the most meticulous Pei Wenyuan felt that it was not a bad thing.

So in the days that followed, Du Yujiao, who appeared carefree but possessed both a reckless spirit and meticulous care, launched an even more intense offensive, bringing meals in the morning and washing dishes in the evening, offering warmth and concern at all times.

She forcefully and undeniably squeezed into Chen Ming's life, gradually making him adapt to her presence, even though everyone in the Fengsheng Brigade was gossiping behind her back that Du Yujiao was throwing herself at him, that she lacked self-respect, and that it was a matter of conduct.

Even Yang Yue, who had a grudge against Du Yujiao, went to great lengths to frame Du Yujiao and smear both of them, and would occasionally drag Yun Shu into the mess. But Du Yujiao remained true to her original intentions and forged ahead relentlessly.

Gradually, Chen Ming's attitude softened considerably.

The real progress in their relationship was catalyzed by an unexpected event later on.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

However, Du Yujiao's sudden emergence has unexpectedly eased the tension within Yun Shu's five-person team.

Everyone had their own perspective and biases when things started, so even though they said they would stay together but not break up before parting ways, the five of them still became quite estranged from each other.

But unexpectedly, Du Yujiao's appearance acted as a glue, bringing the five people who had been working side by side since they went to the countryside back together once again.

Yun Shu, Jing Shu, Pei Wenyuan, and Jiang Xiucheng, who was eager to win Jing Shu's favor, spent their days eating, drinking, playing, and watching Chen Ming's 'jokes'.
