Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 305 Deceiving Feng Cheng

The night was deep and all was quiet, as if the whole world was shrouded in a veil of tranquility.

The wind howled outside the window on the dam, as if telling an untold story.

In the dormitory during the summer, Feng Cheng slept soundly, his snores rising and falling, just like a sleeping pig.

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory not far away, Qin Xuemei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight had not yet fully penetrated the thin mist.

Summer woke up early as usual and practiced Tai Chi in the small courtyard of the dormitory.

Inside the dormitory, Feng Cheng slowly patted his throbbing head and struggled to get up from the kang (a heated brick bed).

His hair was disheveled, and his eyes still held a lingering sense of confusion.

"Who am I? Where am I?"

Feng Cheng's mind was still in a state of confusion, and he couldn't help but subconsciously ask himself two soul-searching questions.

He rubbed his temples hard, trying to clear his head.

After a long while, he vaguely remembered...

Last night I went to drink with Xia Tian, ​​and ended up getting myself drunk again.

He couldn't remember what happened during the drinking session; his mind was completely blank.

While Feng Cheng was still sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), his eyes glazed over as he pondered life.

Summer was over, and I returned to my dormitory with light steps.

He looked at Feng Cheng, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a blank expression.

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she turned and poured Feng Cheng a glass of hot water.

"Are you awake?"

Feng Cheng looked at the hot water Xia Tian handed him, took it casually, and drank a sip.

The hot water flowed down his throat, moistening his dry throat and gradually clearing his mind.

"Engineer Xia, nothing happened after I got drunk last night, right?"

Feng Cheng spoke tentatively, his voice tinged with trepidation.

When Xia Tian heard Feng Cheng's question, she poured herself a cup of hot water.

He took a sip slowly, a sly glint in his eyes.

"What, you don't remember what happened last night?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng shook his head somewhat guiltily.

"Last night, after you got drunk..."

Xia Tian deliberately drew out the last syllable of her name, whetting Feng Cheng's appetite.

"He kept insisting on confessing his feelings to Comrade Xuemei, and I couldn't stop him no matter what I did!"

Xia Tian said in a serious tone, but she was suppressing a laugh.

Feng Cheng stared wide-eyed in horror at Xia Tian's words, his face filled with disbelief.

"Last night, could it really be true?"

His voice trembled slightly, as if he wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

"There was no other way, so I had to accompany you to Comrade Xuemei's dormitory."

Summer continued to embellish her story, her eyes gleaming with even more mischievousness.

"And then, Engineer Xia?"

Feng Cheng was so nervous that his palms were sweating, completely unaware of the mocking glint in Xia Tian's eyes.

His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

"I called Comrade Xuemei out for you, and then you grabbed Comrade Xuemei's hand!"

As Xia Tian spoke, she imitated Feng Cheng's drunken actions.

"I cried as I told Comrade Xuemei, 'I love you!'"

"I...I can't, can I?"

At this moment, Feng Cheng's face turned bright red, and he wished he could disappear from this world immediately.

He imagined Qin Xuemei's expression after hearing those words and felt utterly ashamed.

Seeing Feng Cheng's state, Xia Tian finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you thinking? You're drunk before you've even finished a glass of wine!"

"Sleeping soundly on the table like a dead pig!"

"He's both terrible at the game and loves to play!"

After hearing Xia Tian's words, Feng Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, a flush of embarrassment and anger rose on his face.

"Xia, are you kidding me?"

His voice carried a hint of annoyance.

Summer rolled her eyes and said.

"If you had nothing to hide, would I be able to fool you?"

After hearing Xia Tian's words, Feng Cheng was speechless once again.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Xia Tian anymore.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back to your dorm!"

"I have to go to work in a little while!"

Xia Tian waved impatiently, shooing Feng Cheng back to his dormitory.

When Feng Cheng returned to his dormitory, Sui Zhichao and Na Da Kui had already gotten up.

"Feng Cheng, where did you go last night?"

Sui Zhichao looked at Feng Cheng, who had just returned to the dormitory, and asked him curiously.

He straightened his collar while looking at Feng Cheng with a questioning gaze.

"Nothing much, I just went to talk to Engineer Xia about something last night!"

As Feng Cheng spoke, he walked to his bedside.

"After we finished talking, it was getting late!"

"I'll just stay at Engineer Xia's place!"

After hearing Feng Cheng's explanation, Sui Zhichao had no doubts.

He nodded and continued fiddling with his clothes.

"Alright, let's go to the cafeteria together!"

"Okay, let me get ready!"

Hearing Sui Zhichao's invitation, Feng Cheng touched his stomach and agreed.

He quickly finished washing up and tidied his clothes.

Afterwards, he, Sui Zhichao, and Na Da Kui walked together to the cafeteria.

As soon as they stepped out, they ran into Qin Xuemei and three others who were coming out of the girls' dormitory.

Sui Zhichao's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Shen Mengyin.

He completely abandoned his good brother for the sake of his girlfriend, and ran off to fawn over Shen Mengyin.

Da Kui looked at the four of them and gave them a perfunctory greeting.

He has now come to a complete understanding and has completely let go of Ji Xiurong.

Well, actually he already has a completely new goal.

That was Wang Meixiang, the only girl in the repair team.

Thanks to his senior's connection, he has made significant progress in his relationship with Wang Meixiang.

Qin Xuemei looked at Feng Cheng, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, before silently greeting him.

Her voice was soft, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible tension.

Feng Cheng's gaze darted away, and he couldn't help but recall Xia Tian's words from earlier.

Those teasing words still seem to echo in my ears.

When he faced Qin Xuemei, a strange sense of panic welled up inside him.

He simply nodded hastily in response, not daring to look at Qin Xuemei even once more.

Meng Yue keenly noticed that the atmosphere between Qin Xuemei and Feng Cheng was a little strange.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the two, a hint of curiosity and doubt flashing in her eyes.

Ji Xiurong, on the other hand, was nonchalant and didn't react much.

She was completely unaware of the subtle shift in the atmosphere around her.

"Let's go to the cafeteria together!"

Sui Zhichao, who was fawning over Shen Mengyin, was walking ahead when he suddenly felt an emptiness behind him.

Looking back, they found Feng Cheng and the others standing in the same spot.

So he called out loudly.

"Oh, here it comes!"

Upon hearing Sui Zhichao's voice, Feng Cheng quickly responded.

He then quickly caught up with Sui Zhichao, as if he were running away from something.

His steps were hurried and flustered, as if only in this way could he get rid of the embarrassment and unease in his heart.

As Qin Xuemei watched Feng Cheng's retreating figure, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
