Chapter 243 Shen Mengyin Leaves
Xia Tian frowned slightly, turned around, and looked at Shen Mengyin standing behind her.
"Alright, you can go back now. Let me think about it some more!"
Shen Mengyin raised her eyes and looked down at Xia Tian's slightly haggard face.
He hesitated for a moment, then simply nodded and responded softly.
"Okay, Engineer Xia!"
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the girls' dormitory.
My steps were heavy, and my heart was filled with doubt and unease.
She simply couldn't fathom Xia Tian's thoughts and attitude.
Xia Tian watched Shen Mengyin's departing figure, stood for a moment, and then turned and returned to the dormitory.
He knew in his heart that Shen Mengyin would definitely be sent down to the dam.
Although I am a leader, I am by no means an unapproachable person.
How could someone knowingly refuse to grant leave to a subordinate who has a family emergency?
The current problem is how to safely get Shen Mengyin down the dam.
The next truck delivering supplies will probably take another week or so to reach the dam.
By the time we wait that long, the opportunity will be too late.
Summer paced back and forth in her dormitory, her brow furrowed, various solutions flashing through her mind.
After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind to personally escort Shen Mengyin down the dam.
Only in this way can we ensure her safe arrival at the foot of the dam.
That night, the moonlight shone like water, spilling onto the dormitory window.
Xia Tian found Zhao Tianshan and Feng Cheng and earnestly explained the matter to them.
"Old Zhao, Feng Cheng, I need to take Comrade Mengyin down to the dam tomorrow."
"Before I come back, please bear with me during these days of work in Bashang."
Zhao Tianshan listened to Xia Tian's explanation and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, Engineer Xia, just focus on taking Comrade Mengyin back. We'll take care of things at the dam."
Feng Cheng nodded slightly, his eyes filled with determination.
"Xia Gong, you can go with peace of mind."
The next morning, just as the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Summer and Shen Mengyin then embarked on their journey to Xiaba.
After breakfast in the canteen, Sui Zhichao found Zhao Tianshan.
A hint of nervousness and anticipation flickered in his eyes as he asked in a low voice.
"Captain, where did Engineer Xia and Comrade Mengyin go?"
He had been in love with Shen Mengyin even before he went up to the dam.
However, Shen Mengyin's heart was not with him.
Rather, it was in Wu Yansheng, that humanoid creature.
With Wu Yansheng finally leaving, he thought his chance had come.
Just when he thought he was about to win the heart of the beauty.
He was shocked to learn that Shen Mengyin had gone down to the dam with Xia Tian.
Zhao Tianshan shrugged and said helplessly after hearing Sui Zhichao's question.
"I don't know where Xia and the others went, and Xia didn't say either."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Sui Zhichao's eyes.
However, she forced herself to stay alert and chatted with Zhao Tianshan for a couple more minutes before getting up and leaving the cafeteria.
Zhao Tianshan watched Sui Zhichao's departing figure and gently shook his head.
A faint smile appeared on her lips as she thought to herself that this young man had probably fallen in love.
At this moment, Shen Mengyin, who was walking with Xia Tian on Xiaba Road, suddenly sneezed twice.
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian looked at her with concern, her eyes filled with worry for her revolutionary comrade.
"Comrade Mengyin, are you alright?"
Shen Mengyin rubbed her nose, her face slightly flushed, and said softly.
"I'm fine!"
He paused, then said with a hint of apology.
"Thank you for giving me a ride, Mr. Xia!"
Summer waved her hand and said gently.
"It's alright, I also need to go down to the dam to take care of some things."
The two chatted casually as they walked on.
However, Shen Mengyin's physical condition was too poor. She was out of breath after walking for a short while, and her pace became slower and slower.
Although Xia Tian was anxious, she could only slow down and patiently walk with her.
Let's turn our attention back to the dam area.
After leaving the cafeteria, Sui Zhichao did not return to his dormitory, but went straight to the girls' dormitory.
After receiving permission, they entered the girls' dormitory.
He took a deep breath before mustering the courage to speak.
"Comrade Xuemei, I need to talk to you about something."
Qin Xuemei, who was sitting at the table reading a book, looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong, Sui Zhichao?"
Sui Zhichao glanced at Meng Yue and Ji Xiurong in the dormitory.
After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke up awkwardly.
"I want to ask you, where did Shen Mengyin go?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuemei was speechless for a moment, then shook her head and said...
"I do not know."
Upon hearing this, Sui Zhichao's disappointment became even more apparent.
He asked a few more questions, but still didn't get a satisfactory answer.
In the end, he had no choice but to return to his dormitory, feeling utterly dejected.
The next few days, before summer returns.
Sui Zhichao seemed to have lost his soul, listless all day long.
He was constantly torn.
She both hoped that Shen Mengyin wouldn't fall for Xia Tian, yet feared that the truth might actually be as she feared.
He kept reassuring himself that maybe he was just overthinking things.
But I can't help but overthink and feel anxious about gains and losses.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Summer, after a difficult five-hour walk with Shen Mengyin, finally arrived at the Forestry Bureau.
Along the way, he carried Shen Mengyin, his burden.
This makes it really hard to pick up speed in the summer.
Xia Tian found Qu He and explained the situation to him.
After listening, Qu He nodded slightly to indicate his understanding.
Shen Mengyin boarded a train to Beiping that very evening, and then transferred to another train from Beiping back to Shanghai.
However, Quhe at this time had suffered a heavy blow from the food shortage incident.
He seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and his condition was very wrong.
He looked haggard, his eyes filled with deep fatigue and confusion.
Summer watched Qu He grow thinner and thinner, her heart filled with worry.
I wanted to comfort him, but I couldn't think of any good way to help him out of his predicament.
Lunchtime at the Forestry Bureau canteen.
Old Liu was busy clearing the table when he glanced up casually.
Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure walk into the cafeteria, and I was both surprised and delighted.
He had rushed back from Chengde just two days ago because of his nephew.
As soon as I got back, I heard about the thrilling things that happened in Bashang, but thankfully they have all been resolved.
However, he was still worried about Xia Tian and Feng Cheng.
He originally planned to personally visit the two men on the dam the next time he delivered supplies.
Summer saw Old Liu with a big smile on his face.
He knew in his heart that he, like a little butterfly, had unknowingly changed some things.
At least Old Liu won't die in vain anymore.
"Uncle Liu, it's been a long time!"
Summer strode forward and greeted him warmly.
Old Liu quickly put down his work, took Xia Tian's hand, and looked him up and down.
Xia, are you alright?
"I've been thinking about you and Feng Cheng a lot these days. Life in Bashang must be tough, right?"
Summer smiled and said.
"Uncle Liu, everything is fine, so you don't need to worry too much."
