301 Gifts
Shen Xi seemed to be trying to convince Guan Lei as well as herself. She said with certainty, “So, you were only drunk at that time. When you heard me say that I couldn’t breathe, you thought of doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to save me.”
Shen Xi directly concluded the matter, leaving Guan Lei at a loss for words.
“Let’s go,” Shen Xi said after a while. “Class is about to start.”
Guan Lei nodded, a little dejected. He really wanted to tell Shen Xi that it wasn’t an accident and that it was something he had been thinking about and wanting to do for a long time. He wanted to get closer to Shen Xi and truly wanted to kiss her.
However, Guan Lei didn’t know what to say, so he simply followed Shen Xi back to the classroom.
With physical education class over, students were about to return to the classroom when someone suddenly shouted. “Guys! Someone is driving a tractor into the school. I heard that it’s the parent of a certain student.”
The students became excited and ran over to watch the show.
Shen Xi and Guan Lei exchanged a look and quickly followed.
Sure enough, the man sitting on the tractor was Li Zhe. Next to Li Zhe was Shen Yan, who was driving an electric vehicle.
Shen Xi hurriedly ran over to Shen Yan and asked, “Dad, why are you here?”
“Your mother said that Guan Lei helped us harvest the sweet potatoes yesterday. She asked me to bring some as a token of appreciation,” Shen Yan said with a smile.
After that, Shen Yan carried a sack from the tractor and threw it in front of Guan Lei. “Kd, here’s your reward. You’re in for a treat. I planted them myself. They’re really sweet.”
“It’s fine, Sir,” Guan Lei quickly waved his hand. “I couldn’t accept this.”
Li Zhe immediately stepped forward and said, “Just accept them. It’s his goodwill.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” Shen Yan said politely. “Just have them.”
Guan Lei helplessly took the bag of sweet potatoes, which probably weighed several kilograms, and thought about what to do with them.
Li Zhe, who was at the side, also hurriedly carried down a bag full of carbamide from the tractor and dragged it in front of Shen Xi. “Xi, I also have something for you.”
Shen Xi looked at the bag of carbamide and quickly refused, “How could I accept this when I didn’t contribute anything?”
Li Zhe immediately stuffed the carbamide bag into Shen Xi’s hands and said, “Tsk, didn’t I just say that it’s a gift? Just accept it. Besides, Lei’er has also accepted your family’s gift. Courtesy demands reciprocity, so you should also accept my gift. Take it!”
Shen Xi took the bag of carbamide awkwardly. She was curious about what Guan Lei’s “uncle” had put in it. It was quite heavy, and she almost couldn’t carry it.
Guan Lei looked at the sweet potatoes in his hand and said to Li Zhe, “Uncle, why don’t you take these sweet potatoes home first?”
Shen Yan stepped forward and stopped Guan Lei. She pretended to be serious and said, “Xi’s mother and I are giving this to you. You should bring them back and open the sack yourself. Why’re you trying to give it to someone else? Are you looking down on my sweet potatoes?”
Guan Lei grabbed the sack tightly and explained in a panic, “Sir, you’ve misunderstood. That’s not what I meant. You’re right, I’ll move them back to the dormitory now.”
Shen Yan said in a deep voice, “Now that’s more like it.”
Shen Xi, who was about to pass the bag to Shen Yan to bring home first, immediately gave up and said politely to Li Zhe, “Sir, I’ll take this back to my dormitory first.”
“Go, go.” Li Zhe nodded in satisfaction. “In the future, get along well with Lei’er. If that brat dares to bully you, tell me and I’ll deal with him.”
Guan Lei looked coldly at Li Zhe, who was already addicted to acting like his uncle. His eyes were full of warning.
However, Li Zhe was not afraid. He responded to Guan Lei’s warning with a smile.
Shen Xi and Guan Lei each dragged their gifts back to their dormitory.
Li Zhe and Shen Yan, who were left behind, exchanged a few more pleasantries. Then, the former drove the rumbling tractor and the latter drove the electric vehicle. Under the curious gazes of the surrounding students, they left.
Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan carried the bag from Li Zhe back to the dormitory. The two of them were almost completely exhausted. They didn’t know what was inside that was so heavy.
Shen Xi opened it curiously and found a pile of stones. Liu Cheng and a few other students who were following behind her looked on curiously.
