Shen Dong looked at Qiu Xiaoqin in front of him. Although her eyes were filled with anger, there was still sorrow hidden between her brows.

The two had only been in a relationship for a short time when Shen Dong was about to leave for a while, and the girl's sorrow could no longer be hidden.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to see you."

Hearing Shen Dong say such bold words, Qiu Xiaoqin immediately felt guilty and quickly looked towards the door, afraid that someone might have overheard.

"What did you say? If you say another word, I'm leaving." She made a move to get up.

"I didn't say anything wrong. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'll be gone for at least ten days to two weeks. I'll definitely have to see you properly."

Qiu Xiaoqin felt a surge of joy upon hearing this, lowered her head, and unconsciously smiled.

Shen Dong continued, "I must memorize your image so that when I miss you during the day, I can dream of you at night."

As Shen Dong's words became increasingly outrageous, she hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth.

"Stop talking!"

After covering Shen Dong's mouth, she continued, "Shameless!"

Shen Dong smiled and exhaled, and Qiu Xiaoqin's palm immediately became burning hot, so she immediately let go.

Only then did she realize how bold her actions had been, her ears turning red instantly. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that no one had seen her.

Shen Dong, wanting to tease her, deliberately coughed.

Qiu Xiaoqin was startled, thinking that something had happened from covering him up, and quickly patted Shen Dong's back, asking, "Are you alright?"

Shen Dong coughed a few times, cleared his throat, straightened up, and said, "I couldn't catch my breath just now."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being clumsy." Qiu Xiaoqin pinched her fingers, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's alright now. Didn't a pretty girl pat my back just now? See, it's fine now."

Qiu Xiaoqin then realized she had been tricked and angrily raised her hand.

Shen Dong grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him.

The two suddenly became very close.

Qiu Xiaoqin could even feel Shen Dong's breath, carrying his unique scent, hot against her face.

My body temperature rose immediately.

Qiu Xiaoqin tried to pull her arm back, but failed, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shen Dong.

The two remained silent for a long time.

Qiu Xiaoqin, finding the posture somewhat indecent, couldn't help but ask first, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at you, I just said I needed to take a good look at you."

Qiu Xiaoqin gritted her teeth and said, "Have you finished watching? My wrist is about to turn blue."

"Really? Then let me rub it for you."

As Shen Dong spoke, he grasped it with one hand and gently rubbed it with the other.

Seeing him struggling to hold her ten fingers, Qiu Xiaoqin smiled knowingly.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I have so much to say to you, but I don't know where to begin."

Shen Dong's mood became somewhat low as he spoke, after all, he was going to be away for a long time, and she was his first love from both his past and present lives, so he was reluctant to part with her.

"It's okay, we'll have plenty of time to talk when you come back," Qiu Xiaoqin comforted Shen Dong, sensing his reluctance to part.

"Can I hug you?"

Caught off guard, Qiu Xiaoqin quickly jumped away.

"We...we can't right now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Dong's dejected expression and, feeling sorry for him, added, "Well...we'll wait for you to come back..."

"What are we?" Shen Dong asked, looking up.

"Then we can hug!" These words seemed to have used up all her strength. After saying them, Qiu Xiaoqin sat down and gasped for breath.

Shen Dong thought to himself: Hehe, little rascal, you fell for my trick again. So a man's melancholy is always effective. As long as you're melancholy, girls will come to comfort you.

He didn't show any excitement on his face, but continued sadly, "But it's still a long time. I'm worried that I'll be thinking about your hugs every day, and I won't be able to eat or concentrate on my work. I might have to come back early..."

"No, we can't do that!"

Qiu Xiaoqin immediately interrupted.

"But......"

"No buts!" Qiu Xiaoqin thought for a moment and then boldly walked over.

"You...you promise me, just...just for a moment, okay?"

Shen Dong nodded repeatedly.

"You...you turn your head away, don't look at me!" Qiu Xiaoqin instructed shyly.

Shen Dong suppressed a laugh and turned his head away, but his eyes were still glancing at the scene out of the corner of his eye.

Qiu Xiaoqin took one step, then two, and walked over. After a slight hesitation, she gently hugged Shen Dong's waist.

Just as she was about to leave, Shen Dong immediately hugged her.

"Oh dear, didn't we agree it would only be for a moment?" Qiu Xiaoqin said in a low voice, burying her head in her arms when she couldn't break free.

"Yeah, you hug me, I hug you, now it's my turn to hug you."

"You scoundrel, you rogue!" Knowing she was no match for him, Qiu Xiaoqin was so angry she could only grit her teeth and curse.

"hey-hey!"

Shen Dong smiled and set his gaze on Qiu Xiaoqin's ears. It is said that many people's sensitive area is the back of their ears, which will turn red when you blow on them. He wondered if Qiu Xiaoqin was like that and was eager to try it out.

But considering that the two had just started dating and that the current social context did not allow for excessive transgressions, Shen Dong suppressed his thoughts.

"Can you loosen your grip now, you big scoundrel?!"

Knowing he couldn't rush things, Shen Dong loosened his grip on Qiu Xiaoqin's arm and smiled at her.

Qiu Xiaoqin gritted her teeth and stomped her foot on Shen Dong's instep.

"This is your punishment for harboring ill intentions at such a young age; your mind is full of wicked schemes!"

She angrily prepared to leave.

"Ouch, my foot!" Shen Dong exclaimed dramatically.

Qiu Xiaoqin stopped and turned her body slightly to the side, but remembering that this guy had lied to her before, she turned her body back.

"You can't leave. You have to take responsibility for me. My legs can't walk anymore."

Shen Dong hopped out the door on one foot, but Qiu Xiaoqin turned and walked away without stopping at all.

Shen Dong quickly shouted outside, "You have to take responsibility for me for the rest of your life!"

"Okay, Dongzi, I'll take responsibility for you for the rest of my life!" Li Hu said, peeking out from the corner of the wall.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you just finish the meeting? Get out of here."

Shen Dong was furious. This clueless guy had to come and join in the fun at a time like this.

"Hehe, I just happened to be passing by and saw my sister-in-law walk away angrily, so I came over to check it out. Now get lost."

He winked at Shen Dong and then immediately ran away.

Shen Dong said angrily, "None of them are easy to deal with."

With the factory matters settled, Shen Dong packed his bags with peace of mind, preparing for his long journey.

The next morning, Shen Dong, Li Hu, and Accountant Zhu arrived at the county railway station together.

Accountant Zhu was the commune's accountant, specifically responsible for the safekeeping of the drafts and financial seals, as well as supervising and recording the entire process.

This was the first time the Hongqi Production Team had gone to the Shanghai Trade Fair. Yang Yujun also thought that if someone else wanted to go in the fall, this trip to Shanghai could serve as a reference. Therefore, he asked Accountant Zhu to record the entire process.

All three were men, and the temperature in Shanghai wasn't high at the moment, so they all planned to bring two sets of underwear and not change their outer clothes, so they didn't bring much luggage.

The train had already stopped at the platform, and the group boarded after having their tickets checked.

After the train started moving, Qiu Xiaoqin emerged from behind a pillar, slowly watching the departing train, silently praying, "May everything go smoothly, and may you return soon!"
