"How could I forget" The shop owner looked at Yan Luoxi with a smug expression. "Your boyfriend comes every time and repeatedly reminds me to be careful about this, careful about that. He even follows me around like he's afraid I might poison you...

Let’s talk about your boyfriend—he’s really considerate of you. Just for one bowl of noodles, he acts as if something terrible will happen if you don’t eat it or if it harms you.

"Yes," Yan Luoxi laughed awkwardly at the shop owner.

"You're truly fortunate, Miss! To have such a good young man. Nowadays, there aren't many like your boyfriend who are so devoted."

"That’s right, you were so sick but he never left your side. You must be good to him or else it would be unjust."

"Girl, know how to appreciate what you have and don’t miss out on him."

...

The few customers in the small shop also recognized Shao Junhe; they were all staunch supporters of his. They joined in with the owner and kept praising Shao Junhe’s virtues in front of Yan Luoxi.

Yan Luoxi was drinking the peanut milk soup, feeling a bit apprehensive. If these people heard what she said to Shao Junhe in the hotel room, would they be angry and attack her

Eating rice noodles, she quickly thought about her situation. It seemed that it wasn't wise for her to stay here any longer.

Her decision to leave this small town quickly was correct. Everyone here supported Shao Junhe; they would likely be united against someone like herself who had forgotten their kindness and was heartless and unforgiving.

Thinking about what might happen, even the fragrant rice noodles in front of her lost their taste. She left half a bowl uneaten and fled amidst everyone's praise for Shao Junhe.

When Yan Luoxi returned to the hotel and passed by Shao Junhe’s room door, she saw that his light was still on from under the door; he must still be in there. She wondered if he had eaten dinner or not since she had said those things about him earlier. She didn’t know if it would make him angry.

Aware of this kind of caring thought popping into her head, Yan Luoxi was startled and took a deep breath. Quickly running to her room door, she opened it and ran inside, slamming the door shut behind her.

Yan Luoxi had just recovered from a serious illness; her body was weak. After such an exhausting day, beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she felt very tired. She thought that she would start a new journey tomorrow, so after taking a bath, she lay down to sleep.

The next morning, Yan Luoxi woke up early. The train left at 9:40 AM, but she didn’t know why she hurriedly packed her luggage and quietly slipped out of the hotel room upon finishing her morning routine.

Passing by Shao Junhe’s door, she did not dare to stop or even say goodbye. She quickened her pace and rushed past quickly.

The streets in the early morning were still quiet. Yan Luoxi noticed that most of the shops on both sides had not yet opened, and there weren't many passersby around. She couldn't help but feel relieved; she wouldn't have to face everyone's gossip and condemnation.

She waved down a taxi and fled as quickly as possible towards the railway station.

Upon arriving at the railway station, Yan Luoxi checked her watch; there were still more than two hours until departure. She wanted to find a nearby restaurant for breakfast but was afraid of encountering people who knew both her and Shao Junhe, who would talk endlessly about how great he is. As such, she could only buy a bottle of water and some bread from the supermarket inside the station to make do with.

During the long wait for the train, Yan Luoxi had thought that Shao Junhe wouldn't give up easily and would come after her; however, much to her surprise, even as she boarded the train and it traveled a considerable distance, his figure did not reappear before her.

Gazing out of the window at the lush greenery flying past, Yan Luoxi let out a sigh, unsure whether she felt relieved or disappointed.

Lǐ An was walking across the vast Mongolian grassland. At this time, wildflowers were in full bloom on the meadows; some flowers were as small as grains of rice, while others bloomed into large areas of eye-catching rose-pink hues.

Up ahead was a shallow lake where unidentified birds were dancing and flying across its surface. The sunset painted絢麗燦爛的晚霞渲染著天邊。天空。

The temperature difference between day and night here was huge; it was as hot as in southern China during the daytime, but abnormally cool at night with many large mosquitoes that required wearing an outer jacket for a stroll after dinner every evening.

Lǐ An had been incredibly busy these days and hadn't had time to take a walk. When he did venture out occasionally, he had to wear long-sleeved tops; the exposed parts of his arms were constantly colliding with large mosquitoes. Any that weren't knocked unconscious would seize the opportunity to bite him.

Brought up in air-conditioned rooms with privileges, Li An had never experienced such treatment. After strolling around for a while, he awkwardly returned to the dormitory.

He crossed through the large lobby on the ground floor, heading towards the elevator and rubbing his arms covered in small red bumps, grimacing in discomfort.

Du Zhijun had just arrived back from the company and was standing beside the elevator. From a distance, he saw Li An's miserable state and knew that he must have been bitten by the area’s notorious mosquitoes. He smiled and pulled out a mosquito repellent spray from his bag, waving it at approaching Li An. "There are plenty of mosquitoes here; I bought two bottles and left them in your office some days ago. You probably didn’t take it seriously."

Seeing Du Zhijun’s reaction to his state, Li An felt a bit embarrassed but merely nodded.

Du Zhijun had already pressed the elevator button and was waiting for Li An specifically; they entered together. She handed over the mosquito repellent spray in her hand to Li An, blinking her clear black eyes, "You know how to apply this, right"

Li An accepted it with a nod and looked at Du Zhijun, who was intently staring at the elevator doors. He thought inwardly, Brother really did pick out an excellent secretary for me.

In these days of working together, Li An discovered that their mutual understanding surpassed most people's; she often prepared ahead of time even before he could voice his needs.

She could discuss business with him in a professional manner and accompany him to banquets. Despite getting tipsy at each gathering, she would stay behind every time after the banquet concluded to check if anyone had left anything behind, especially for their forgetful boss.

Other secretaries might also be capable of doing these tasks, but what made Li An most satisfied about Du Zhijun was her ability to maintain a professional distance despite having more than an eighty percent liking towards him.er. Without thinking, she replied offhandedly, "I came to play with Li An."When He Yufan heard that Yan Luoxi had come to play with Li An, her expression involuntarily changed slightly. She took a dee...
