Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 160 Dormitory Night

Qin Xuemei's apology caused a small ripple in the cafeteria.

All eyes were once again focused on her and Feng Cheng.

Looking at the sincere-looking Qin Xuemei in front of him, Feng Cheng felt a mix of emotions.

The swelling and pain in my cheeks seemed to have lessened somewhat due to this sudden situation.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his swollen cheeks made his voice muffled.

Summer watched this scene from the side, her brows furrowing slightly.

He noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere.

Especially Wu Yansheng's furious gaze, which seemed to scorch one's soul.

He knew that this matter was unlikely to be resolved so easily.

"Comrade Qin Xuemei, it's good that you recognize your responsibility in this matter."

Summer broke the brief silence, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable power.

"Feng Cheng is unable to speak for the time being."

"As for whether he accepts your apology, we'll talk about that later."

Xia Tian said something casually to Qin Xuemei.

Then he took Feng Cheng and quickly left the cafeteria.

Seeing that the parties involved and Xia Tian had left, everyone else followed suit and left as well.

Only Wu Yansheng remained standing blankly in the cafeteria.

……

Boys' dormitory.

Fatty Sui Zhichao looked at Wu Yansheng who had returned and began to try to persuade him.

Fatty Sui Zhichao watched Wu Yansheng walk into the dormitory looking dejected, and his heart was filled with worry.

He quickly put down the clothes he was tidying up.

He took a few steps forward and walked to Wu Yansheng's side, gently patting him on the shoulder.

"Yansheng, don't worry about what happened earlier anymore."

"We're all here in Saihanba to do great things. It's not worth getting upset over such trivial matters of love and family!"

Sui Zhichao's tone was full of concern, and the fat on his face jiggled slightly as he spoke.

Wu Yansheng acted as if he hadn't heard, and went straight to his bed.

He plopped down on the ground, staring blankly ahead.

His hands gripped the blanket tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding together, and his chest was heaving violently.

It felt as if a raging fire was churning wildly inside me.

"Tell me, why did you do that?"

Sui Zhichao sat down next to Wu Yansheng and continued to persuade him, "There might really be nothing between Qin Xuemei and Feng Cheng."

"Even if there's something wrong, you shouldn't get this angry over it."

Wu Yansheng finally reacted and turned his head.

He glared at Sui Zhichao with bloodshot eyes, his voice tinged with hysteria.

"What do you know?!"

"You have no idea how I feel!"

“I am Qin Xuemei’s boyfriend. He and Feng Cheng have been having an ambiguous relationship.”

What does she take me for?

"She did it in front of so many people today."

"Why should he apologize to Feng Cheng?"

Sui Zhichao was startled by Wu Yansheng's gaze, but he still forced himself to continue.

"How could I not understand? Matters of the heart are the most torturous."

“But if you keep getting stuck on this, you’ll not only hurt yourself, but it will also affect our whole group.”

"Look how well Commander Xia put it. We're here to turn Saihanba into an oasis, not to cause trouble."

Wu Yansheng snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"summer?!"

"He's just a busybody!"

"If it weren't for him, I would have taught Feng Cheng a lesson today!"

"And Qin Xuemei, she's an utterly ungrateful person!"

“I gave up my job in the capital and came to Saihanba with her.”

"But what about her? How did she treat me?"

"Yansheng, you can't say that."

Sui Zhichao interrupted Wu Yansheng.

"Commander Xia was doing it for our own good."

"If everyone were as impulsive as you, how could our advance team possibly carry out its work?"

"Besides, you can't force feelings. If Qin Xuemei doesn't like you, no matter how hard you try, it won't work."

"I acted impulsively?!"

Why did I act impulsively?

“Sui Zhichao, we were college students who went up the dam together.”

"You not only don't speak up for me, but you're also siding with outsiders?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're just too stubborn."

Sui Zhichao sighed and said earnestly to Wu Yansheng.

"Yansheng, it's because we went up to the dam together that I'm telling you so much."

"If you don't listen to me, there's nothing I can do."

"If you listen to me, I have a plan!"

Wu Yansheng was still angry, but when he heard Sui Zhichao say that he had a plan...

He suddenly perked up and turned his head sharply.

With an eager glint in his eyes, he grabbed Sui Zhichao's arm and asked.

"What's your plan? Tell me now!"

Sui Zhichao was startled by Wu Yansheng's sudden action.

However, after gathering his thoughts, he slowly spoke.

"Yansheng, your impulsiveness will only make Qin Xuemei dislike you more and more."

"You need to change your strategy and take a longer-term view."

Wu Yansheng frowned and urged impatiently.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, what exactly is the strategy?"

“Look, Yansheng.”

"The matter between Qin Xuemei and Feng Cheng is just something you're imagining."

"It's uncertain whether it's true or false, right?"

"Xuemei and Feng Cheng have only known each other for a few days?!"

"Look, how long have you and Xuemei known each other?"

"You've known Xue Mei for so long, haven't you!"

Sui Zhichao looked at Wu Yansheng and analyzed the situation logically.

Wu Yansheng listened to what the chubby Sui Zhichao said and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

"Maybe I'm just being too sensitive?!"

"Xuemei and Feng Cheng have only known each other for a few days?"

"Xuemei isn't such a casual person."

After listening to Sui Zhichao's words, Wu Yansheng began to brainwash himself.

Wu Yansheng nodded as he brainwashed himself.

The anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of hesitation and confusion.

He released his grip on Sui Zhichao's arm, leaned against the bed, and muttered to himself.

"Old Sui, you're right, Xuemei and I have known each other for so long."

"She definitely won't change her mind so quickly. I was really too impulsive just now."

Seeing that Wu Yansheng had taken his words to heart, Sui Zhichao breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"exactly!"

"Yansheng, you can't ruin your relationship with Xuemei because of a momentary impulse."

"You should give Xuemei more trust."

Wu Yansheng raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"Old Sui, tell me specifically what I should do?"

Sui Zhichao sat up straight and said in a serious tone.

"First, you have to change your attitude."

"Stop losing your temper so easily, and learn to control your emotions."

Wu Yansheng nodded thoughtfully, signaling Sui Zhichao to continue.

……

That’s it for today.

It's only past midnight, I'll make up for the missed time tomorrow.
