……

Aunt Yu and Meng Yue returned to the girls' dormitory together.

After watching Meng Yue's figure disappear into the doorway, Aunt Yu returned to her own home.

When she got home, she found Xia Tian sitting there waiting for her.

"Auntie, you're back!"

Seeing Xia Tian's impatient look, Aunt Yu smiled knowingly.

"how is everything?"

"Don't rush, let me have a sip of hot water first!"

"Auntie, I'll go pour you some!"

Hearing what Aunt Yu said, Xia Tian hurriedly went to pour hot water.

Before long, a steaming cup of water was brought to Aunt Yu's hands.

"Xia, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush!"

"Let me have a sip to warm myself up first!"

After drinking a cup of hot water, Aunt Yu finally spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Xia, let me tell you about Xiao Meng's situation first!"

"Okay, Auntie!"

"Xiao Meng's family consists of only his parents, and he has only one older brother and one younger brother!"

"My older brother is already married, and my younger brother is the same age as our eldest son!"

Aunt Yu told Xia Tian everything she had found out about Meng Yue's family situation.

"..."

Then, Aunt Yu went on and on about what had just happened.

"Although Xiao Meng didn't answer me, I could tell that she has feelings for you!"

Finally, Aunt Yu gave her opinion.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

After listening to Aunt Yu's analysis, Xia Tian thanked her again.

"You silly child, we're family, no need for formalities!"

"If you have any further questions, feel free to come to your auntie!"

"But you'd better watch out, kid!"

"Meng is such an outstanding girl. If someone else beats her to it, you'll have nowhere to cry."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian nodded solemnly.

"Then, Auntie, I'll head back now!"

"Okay, you go back first. I'll go make some more food and take it to Lao Yu!"

"That old Yu, I don't know what he's busy with all day long!"

Aunt Yu also got up, complaining as she began preparing food.

Xia Tian listened to Aunt Yu's complaints about Yu Zhenglai, smiled, and left Aunt Yu's house.

In Saihanba, night falls exceptionally early in winter.

When Xia Tian returned to the dormitory, it was already late at night.

After tidying up briefly in the summer, she lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Looking at Chang Wei lying beside her, Xia Tian's thoughts drifted away.

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory.

Since returning to her dormitory, Meng Yue has been deep in thought.

Even Qin Xuemei's shouts couldn't wake her.

Helpless, Qin Xuemei walked over to Meng Yue and nudged her.

"Ah~"

Meng Yue finally snapped out of her daze!

"Meng Yue, what's wrong?"

"You've been acting strange ever since you came back!"

Seeing Meng Yue finally come to her senses, Qin Xuemei asked her with concern.

"It's nothing, Xuemei, I just thought about some things!"

A fleeting look of panic crossed Meng Yue's face before she began to explain.

Qin Xuemei was still somewhat uneasy after hearing this.

"I'm really fine, Xuemei!"

"Is it really okay?"

Qin Xuemei glanced at Meng Yue with suspicion again.

Although I sensed that Meng Yue was acting strangely, I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong.

You must tell me immediately if anything happens!

"Yes, Xuemei!"

Just as the two were talking, Shen Mengyin pushed open the door and entered.

"Hey, Mengyin, you're on a date with Sui Zhichao again?"

Seeing Shen Mengyin appear at the door, Meng Yue teased her.

He then changed the subject from himself to Qin Xuemei.

"Meng Yue, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Who went on a date with Sui Zhichao?"

Hearing Meng Yue's teasing, Shen Mengyin said coquettishly.

"So you're back in the dorm in the middle of the night, what else could you be doing if you're not on a date with Sui Zhichao?"

"I……"

Hearing Meng Yue's question, Shen Mengyin was speechless for a moment.

"We went there to discuss things related to pests and diseases!"

Fortunately, Shen Mengyin's mind worked quickly, and she came up with a reason that even she herself didn't believe.

"Oh~"

"So, we're going to discuss pests and diseases together?"

Meng Yue deliberately dragged out the last syllable of Shen Mengyin's lame excuse.

"Yes, we're going to investigate pests and diseases!"

Shen Mengyin naturally understood Meng Yue's teasing tone, but she stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Alright, Mengyue, stop talking about Mengyin!"

"If you keep talking, Sui Zhichao might not be able to sleep tomorrow!"

Qin Xuemei looked at Shen Mengyin and said something.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more!"

The boys' dormitory on the other side.

Sui Zhichao suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and then sneezed violently.

"Old Sui, are you alright?"

A sneeze startled Feng Cheng, who was reading a book.

"I'm fine!"

Sui Zhichao rubbed his nose and replied.

"Hey, Lao Feng, when do you think I'll be able to win Meng Yin's heart?"

"Don't rush it, let things take their natural course, and things will fall into place when the time is right!"

Feng Cheng pointed to the small millstone that Sui Zhichao had placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), which was half-finished.

"Do you really think this thing will work?"

Sui Zhichao looked at the millstone on the kang (a heated brick bed) and muttered something insecurely.

Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng shook his head and said nothing more.

The night is getting darker.

Summer, when I usually sleep very well, is unusually sleepless tonight.

Meng Yue was also suffering from insomnia along with him.

Winter nights in Saihanba seem to grow exceptionally long.

Chang Wei, who was lying next to Xia Tian, ​​suffered a lot.

Unable to sleep in the summer, I sat at the foot of the kang (heated brick bed) and kept rubbing his head.

Chang Wei wanted to resist, but was powerless to do so, and could only let Xia Tian grope him.

……

The next morning, Xia Tian appeared in the yard right on time.

Despite not having slept all night, Xia Tian was still full of energy.

After exercising, Xia Tian walked to the cafeteria alone.

I went to the canteen and got a bowl of millet porridge and two steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and water.

Summer casually found a spot, sat down, and started eating breakfast.

Summer had barely sat down when Meng Yue and her two companions arrived at the cafeteria together.

There weren't many people eating in the cafeteria early in the morning.

So Meng Yue spotted Xia Tian sitting there eating right away.

Meng Yue couldn't help but think of what Aunt Yu had said to her last night.

As I was thinking, my mind suddenly went blank, and my steps faltered.

Just as Meng Yue was about to make intimate contact with the ground.

Summer grabbed Meng Yue and caught her.

As she stumbled, Meng Yue's heart sank.

I closed my eyes, bracing myself for falling to the ground.

However, the expected pain did not come.

Meng Yue opened her eyes and saw Xia Tian's familiar face.

"Comrade Xiao Meng, are you alright?"

Summer's familiar voice came, and Meng Yue snapped out of her reverie.

"I'm fine, Engineer Xia!"

Hearing Meng Yue's voice, Xia Tian nodded and straightened Meng Yue's posture.

Then he realized that the position of his hand seemed a little wrong.
