Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Wu Yansheng stood in front of Qin Xuemei, his eyes full of expectation, and spoke again.

"Xuemei, come with me to the captain's place later!"

As he spoke, he leaned slightly forward.

A strange light flickered in his eyes, a light that mixed with adoration and a hint of cunning.

He eagerly awaited the news that Qin Xuemei would accept his invitation.

"Should I go to the captain and the others?"

Qin Xuemei stopped fiddling with the saplings.

She raised her head and looked at Wu Yansheng with a puzzled expression.

Her eyes were clear and bright, filled with confusion.

In her view, the primary task at this moment was to lead the second group to complete the tree planting task, rather than going anywhere else.

"Yes, Xuemei, the captain and his team are also short of a technician."

Wu Yansheng said urgently.

To make his reasoning sound more reasonable, he deliberately raised his voice.

"They need a technician to guide them in planting trees."

As he spoke, he secretly felt smug.

I think my excuse was very clever.

Little did they know that his little scheme had already been exposed.

His real purpose was to take Qin Xuemei for a drive around Saihanba.

Enjoy the time you spend alone with her, satisfying that little selfish desire deep inside your heart.

"But I myself only have a vague understanding of how to plant trees."

Qin Xuemei looked troubled, gently biting her lower lip and furrowing her brows slightly.

"How should we guide the captain and the others?"

"Besides, I'm the leader of these two groups. What kind of nonsense is it for me to come to your group and give you guidance?!"

Qin Xuemei frowned even more, finding Wu Yansheng's suggestion utterly absurd.

In her heart, she felt that her duty prevented her from leaving her post easily.

Moreover, I myself am not capable enough, so how can I guide others?

"Alright, Wu Yansheng, you should go back now!"

Qin Xuemei was getting impatient, so she turned around.

With his back to Wu Yansheng, he continued to bend down and tend to the saplings.

“Come here. The team leader and his team are short one person, so the tree planting progress will fall behind.”

Her tone carried an undeniable firmness.

Clearly, he no longer wanted to discuss this topic with Wu Yansheng.

Wu Yansheng wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, and opened his mouth.

But he found that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

He watched Qin Xuemei's resolute back and sighed helplessly.

He knew his plan had completely fallen through.

He stood there, stunned for a long while, before turning around to leave.

He was thinking about going back to see what was going on with Zhao Tianshan and the others.

Perhaps he can regain some dignity as a leader over there.

Just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Shen Mengyin not far away out of the corner of his eye.

Wu Yansheng knew perfectly well that Shen Mengyin had feelings for him.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Since Qin Xuemei doesn't appreciate my good intentions, I'll just take Shen Mengyin with me.

Maybe he can make Qin Xuemei jealous and then change her mind about him.

The moment this idea popped into his head, it was like a seed that quickly took root and sprouted in his heart.

Without hesitation, Wu Yansheng immediately mounted his horse.

With a gentle squeeze of its legs, it steered the horse toward Shen Mengyin.

Shen Mengyin has been here ever since Wu Yansheng came.

His gaze was drawn to him as if by a magnet, never leaving him.

At that moment, he saw Wu Yansheng riding a tall horse, looking dashing and heroic as he walked towards him.

Her heart suddenly raced, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

Shen Mengyin threw the sapling in her hand directly to the ground.

She stood up, staring intently at Wu Yansheng, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Shen Mengyin, would you like to come with me and become a technician?"

Wu Yansheng quickly rode his horse to Shen Mengyin's side.

He leaned slightly forward, extended his hand to her, and wore a confident smile.

"I am willing!"

Shen Mengyin agreed without hesitation, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

She eagerly grabbed Wu Yansheng's hand, and he pulled her onto the horse together.

The two of them were piled on top of each other in an extremely ambiguous position.

This scene made Sui Zhichao, who was not far away, grit his teeth in anger.

"Hey, no, where are we going?"

Sui Zhichao put down the sapling in his hand, his eyes wide as copper bells.

It was engulfed in flames of fury, rushing toward this place.

He ran and shouted, but only the howling sandstorms of Saihanba answered him.

Qin Xuemei, who was planting trees nearby, was completely absorbed in the sapling in her hand.

They didn't even notice that Wu Yansheng was taking Shen Mengyin away.

If Wu Yansheng knew that Qin Xuemei had no reaction to all of this, I wonder what he would think.

Zhang Fulin, who was standing to the side, took in everything and gently shook his head.

There was a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He thought to himself.

"These college students don't focus on what they should be doing."

"In this harsh Saihanba, they even played these sentimental games."

He didn't say much, but silently picked up his tools.

He continued to bury himself in his work, and his movements became even faster and more powerful.

Sui Zhichao was so angry that his face turned red, and he was still jumping up and down and cursing.

He waved his hands, as if he could scold Wu Yansheng back.

People around them began to cast strange glances at them.

Some were surprised by his loss of composure, while others were somewhat amused and intrigued.

Sui Zhichao, however, disregarded this entirely, feeling that his dignity and feelings had been severely trampled upon.

Who among the college students who went up to the dam together doesn't know this?

Shen Mengyin was Sui Zhichao's target.

In his view, Wu Yansheng was deliberately provoking him and openly trying to steal his man.

At this moment, Shen Mengyin nestled tightly in Wu Yansheng's arms.

Her cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded even harder.

She felt Wu Yansheng's broad and warm chest.

An unreal sense of happiness completely enveloped her.

Throughout the journey, Shen Mengyin was immersed in this sudden happiness.

Her hands gripped Wu Yansheng's arms tightly.

She would occasionally look up at him with an expression of adoration.

It was as if he was his whole world.

Wu Yansheng thoroughly enjoyed this admiration and dependence, his face beaming with a smug smile.

Wu Yansheng led Shen Mengyin on a leisurely ride through the woods for quite a while.

Finally, Wu Yansheng started walking in the direction of Zhao Tianshan.

However, when Wu Yansheng arrived at Zhao Tianshan's place, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

Summer was standing there leisurely, her arms crossed over her chest.

She was looking at him with a half-smile, her eyes seeming to see right through him.

The fear of being dominated by summer in the past suddenly surged into my heart.

Wu Yansheng felt a chill run down his spine.

I didn't know what to do with my hands and feet.

He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

……

That's all for today's update. Goodnight everyone.
