Chapter 245 A Heart Full of Sorrow
Chapter 245 Affection Fades
After much thought, I decided to focus on developing the romance storyline first.
……
Five days later.
Summer returned to this familiar yet challenging place once again, riding in a supply truck.
The wind on the dam still carried a bit of sand and dust, blowing in his face as if welcoming his return.
It was lunchtime, and the canteen on the dam was filled with the aroma of food.
Sui Zhichao found Xia Tian and hurried over to her.
"Engineer Xia, where is Comrade Shen Mengyin?"
Sui Zhichao cautiously asked Xia Tian, his eyes filled with anticipation and unease.
His hands unconsciously gripped the hem of his clothes, and his voice trembled slightly.
Xia Tian looked at Sui Zhichao, who appeared in front of her, and understood his thoughts, so she answered.
"Shen Mengyin has gone home!"
"Oh, Shen Mengyin is home?"
Upon hearing this news, Sui Zhichao was first taken aback, then a complex expression appeared on his face.
"What happened?"
He breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing from Xia Tian that Shen Mengyin had returned home.
As long as he didn't elope with Xia Tian, that's fine.
The thought flashed through his mind, and even he found it somewhat ridiculous.
However, Sui Zhichao immediately became nervous again.
After all, his feelings for Shen Mengyin made it difficult for him to let go of his heart.
"I'm not sure about that!"
After thinking it over, Xia Tian decided to keep Shen Mengyin's secret.
After all, this is a matter of privacy, though not insignificant.
He felt it was his responsibility to protect the privacy of his comrades on the dam.
"Then, is Shen Mengyin coming back?"
Sui Zhichao couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that concerned him the most.
If Shen Mengyin never returns, then his love story will end before it even begins.
If that were the case, he felt he would be too sad to eat.
He had been suffering from lovesickness these past few days and simply could not bear this outcome.
"Of course we're coming back!"
Xia Tian couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to Sui Zhichao's question.
"Shen Mengyin had some family matters to attend to and asked for leave to go home!"
"It's not like Yan Xiangli, who was transferred to another place!"
After hearing Xia Tian's words, Sui Zhichao breathed a long sigh of relief.
For the past five days, he has been like a lost soul, unable to eat or sleep properly.
Every day, I was filled with anxiety and fear, and Shen Mengyin's image kept appearing in my mind.
Now that he's back in the summer, his biggest question deep inside has been answered.
He felt he had rediscovered the joy of life, and even felt he could eat three bowls of rice.
Looking at Sui Zhichao's pathetic state, Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
Sui Zhichao truly loves and is deeply in love with Shen Mengyin.
In this respect, no one in Saihanba can compare to him.
This pure affection is especially precious in the harsh environment of Bashang.
Life on the dam returned to its usual tranquility.
Besides Sui Zhichao's daily longing for Shen Mengyin.
The only novel thing was Ji Xiurong's relentless pursuit of Wei Fugui'er.
Since that day, Ji Xiurong has been charging forward for love.
She relentlessly pursued Wei Fugui, finding various excuses to approach him every day and helping him with his work.
Da Kui saw all of this, and he was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Da Kui had always been in love with Ji Xiurong, but could only watch helplessly as Ji Xiurong fawned over Wei Fugui.
"Old Wei, what are your thoughts on Ji Xiurong?"
That day, Wei Fugui found Xia Tian and poured out his grievances.
Summer listened to his complaints, but she could hear a hint of Versailles in them.
"I really don't have any feelings for Xiao Ji."
Wei Fugui sighed helplessly.
"He's a top student who graduated from a vocational high school, while I'm just a cook."
"The older sisters in other families all married college graduates."
"If Xiao Ji were to marry a cook like me, what would her family think?"
Wei Fugui'er harbored a deep-seated inferiority complex; he felt from the bottom of his heart that he was not good enough for Ji Xiurong.
He always felt that his identity and status were vastly different from Ji Xiurong's.
I didn't even dare to hope that we could have a further relationship.
"Old Wei, let me give you a piece of advice: Comrade Xiurong is a good girl!"
Xia Tian confided something to Wei Fugui.
He could tell that Ji Xiurong genuinely liked Wei Fugui'er, and he hoped that Wei Fugui'er could cherish this relationship.
Perhaps this feeling wasn't pure at the beginning; it was mixed with some gratitude.
"I just know that Xiao Ji is a good girl, so I can't hold her back."
"Such a beautiful girl, it would be a waste for her to marry me!"
Wei Fugui gave a self-deprecating laugh, his expression dark and unreadable, his heart filled with helplessness and pain.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Xia Tian looked at Wei Fugui'er and asked another question.
He knew that Wei Fugui was conflicted and wanted to help him find a suitable solution.
"I would like to ask you, Engineer Xia, to help me mediate and persuade Xiao Ji to give up this idea."
Wei Fugui looked at the distant sand dunes and spoke.
"If it really doesn't work, we'll just have to put it off."
"Drag it out until Xiao Ji forgets about me!"
A resolute look appeared in his eyes, as if he had already prepared for the worst.
"Alright then, as long as you keep that in mind!"
Xia Tian chatted with Wei Fugui'er for a while before getting up and returning to the dormitory.
He was truly powerless to help with the relationships between men and women in Bashang.
He was the leader of the dam area.
We must pay attention to our comrades' learning progress, and also care about their living conditions.
He also has to study and do experiments every day.
There are so many things to do every day that I simply don't have time to deal with relationship issues.
Besides, he hasn't even resolved his own relationship problems.
When he last went to Beiping, his aunts asked him when he was going to start dating.
Moreover, she was very proactive in arranging blind dates for him.
However, he used work as an excuse to postpone it in the summer.
In the girls' dormitory, Shen Mengyin had gone home, and the dormitory felt somewhat deserted without her cheerful laughter.
Ji Xiurong was carefully dressing herself up, preparing to go find Wei Fugui'er.
She was carefully combing her hair, a happy smile on her face.
It was as if she could already see the bright future she would have with Wei Fugui.
Meng Yue sat on the edge of her bed, intently writing poems for her boyfriend.
Qin Xuemei sat at her desk, holding an English dictionary.
He frowned as he looked at the densely packed notes in front of him.
She is trying hard to learn English, but the results are not very satisfactory.
The complex grammar and vocabulary were like insurmountable chasms, leaving her feeling extremely frustrated.
After thinking it over, she decided to ask her teacher for advice.
"Feng Cheng, are you there?"
Qin Xuemei arrived at the boys' dormitory, clutching her English notes.
Her voice trembled slightly, her heart filled with both anticipation and nervousness.
