Chunsheng quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant!"

"The reason I didn't ask you is because your women's bicycle is so rare, I was really afraid it would be stolen if I rode it out."

"If the car were to really be lost, I'm afraid even if you sold me, you wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it!"

Chunsheng's words immediately made Li Yufeng laugh, "Alright! Go borrow it first, and remember to come find me if you really can't borrow it..."

After Li Yufeng left, as soon as Chunsheng returned to the classroom, he immediately went through all the people with bicycles in his mind several times.

However, it turned out that there were very few people he could actually ask to borrow money from, and who were likely to lend it to him.

In the past, apart from his own classmates, he rarely interacted with students from other classes, and had very few close relationships with them.

At this moment, even Chunsheng himself was curious about what kind of person he used to be!

Why did he always keep himself so tightly wrapped up back then, unwilling to have much contact or interaction with the outside world?

Although the main task of students is to study, it is definitely not a good thing to only study and completely ignore or deliberately avoid interacting with others.

The impact on a student at school is not immediately obvious.

However, once you leave campus and enter society, whether you farm in the village or enter the workforce after graduating from university, if you don't like to interact with people and live in your own world forever, it will definitely be a big problem for your personal development.

Either you'll be eliminated by society sooner or later, ruining your family's and your own life.

Either you constantly run into obstacles and things don't go your way, you always feel that the world is unfair to you, and in the end you become the kind of person you hate.

Although every era has its own way of life!

But in an era like ours, where resources are extremely scarce and almost everyone is struggling to get enough to eat, if we don't unite with others and stick together for warmth, even if we don't starve to death, things probably won't be much better!

After thinking things through, Chunsheng immediately made a bold decision.

Starting today, in addition to studying, he will also have to engage in some necessary social activities.

Although I am a good student and always rank first in my grade, no one says that just because I rank first in my grade, I can't socialize and make more friends like those second-rate students.

If I had a wide enough social circle among my classmates on campus, not to mention borrowing a bicycle, it wouldn't be impossible for me to find out who helped Pan Yangyang's father, Pan Zixing, get his job!

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and last-minute efforts are definitely not going to work.

So, when it comes to borrowing a bicycle, he'll probably have to rely on those few people with whom he has a "strong relationship" in the long run.

Second sister's husband, Junwu, the homeroom teacher, Hongqin...

My second sister's husband goes home every Saturday, so he doesn't want to ask for help.

He believed that if he asked his second brother-in-law to lend him a bicycle, he would definitely do so. But in that case, his second brother-in-law would have to walk home and come back on Sunday.

Although the distance from the school to his brother-in-law's village of Zhangzhuang was only five or six miles, he really didn't want his brother-in-law, who had some heart problems, to travel such a long distance back and forth.

Next up were Zhang Junwu and the homeroom teacher.

Needless to say, the homeroom teacher could definitely borrow it if he just asked.

But the homeroom teacher's bicycle was indeed, as he had just said, extremely rare.

Once he rides it out, there's a high chance someone will have their eye on it.

Also, those 26-inch women's bicycles, when he pedals with his two long legs, he has to twist them like a pretzel!

Just thinking about that position makes him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

When he was practicing martial arts in the morning, he originally wanted to ask Junwu to lend him a bicycle, but when he heard that the militia team was going to another village for training on Saturday, he couldn't bring himself to ask.

Hongqin's older brother, Song Hongjun, also owns a 28-inch motorcycle, but he hasn't told Hongqin about it yet, and he doesn't plan to.

He felt it was inappropriate to borrow something from a girl that didn't belong to her.

If Hongqin were to tell her older brother about borrowing the bicycle, his sister-in-law might object, which could put Hongqin in an awkward position. So she decided against it and didn't want to transfer her stress to others.

Chunsheng thought to himself, if he really couldn't borrow it, walking there wouldn't be a problem; he could just treat it as exercise.

He would walk there by himself, but as for his sixth sister, Chunzao, he would just let her stay at home.

However, to Chunsheng's surprise, during evening self-study, Li Yufeng suddenly ran into the classroom and called him out.

"Did you manage to borrow a bicycle?"

Chunsheng smiled awkwardly, "I'm not planning to lend it to you. I'll walk there myself; it should only take me half an hour at most."

"You're so stubborn!"

Li Yufeng smiled and shook her head, then flashed a bicycle key in his eyes. "Here you go! After evening self-study, just go to my dorm and take it!"

Chunsheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Yufeng and said, "Teacher Li, I really don't dare to ride your women's bicycle out!"

Li Yufeng's lips curled slightly, she pulled Chunsheng's arm, shoved the car keys into his hand, and said with a wry smile:

"You're really something... Who said this bicycle belongs to a lady! It belongs to Mr. Zhou from our English department. He sprained his ankle playing ball the day before yesterday, so he probably won't be using these two bicycles for a while."

"You can ride it away tonight, and ride it back to school next Monday. Just drop it off at my door then; his dorm isn't far from me!"

Chunsheng held the car keys that Li Yufeng handed him, unsure of what to say.

He didn't know whether the feeling was surprise or being moved, but the sudden feeling that welled up from the bottom of his heart made him feel both warm and somewhat at a loss.

So he would pick at his fingers for a while, and then scratch his hair.

Seeing his slightly uneasy expression, Li Yufeng joked, "What's wrong? Are you touched?"

Chunsheng laughed awkwardly, then pinched the knuckle of his little finger with his thumb and joked in the same tone, "About this much!"

Li Yufeng looked at Chunsheng's funny face and laughed, "Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. That bicycle by my door with the red cloth wrapped around its handlebars is it. Be careful riding it home tonight!"

That evening, when Chunsheng arrived home with his bicycle, his sixth sister, Chunzao, immediately greeted him. Then, with a pained expression, she said that she couldn't go to her third sister's house with him the next day because she had other things to do.

At this moment, Mother also came out of the house and quickly explained, "Your brother Quan Gang's parents are coming first thing tomorrow morning. They're coming specifically to discuss your sixth sister's wedding date with your father and me!"

"We might have to reduce some items on the betrothal gift list later. This was suggested by your sixth sister, so she needs to be home tomorrow!"
