> A Romance of the Little Forest Recap
Yu Meiren opened the car door and saw that Zhuang Yu was actually inside. The driver urged her to get in quickly, so Yu Meiren sat in the front passenger seat. Zhuang Yu spoke to her, but Yu Meiren ignored him. Zhuang Yu explained that he saw the last digits of her phone number and it looked familiar, and he didn't expect such a coincidence. Yu Meiren rolled her eyes and said it would be unlucky to meet him.
Zhuang Yu still wanted to call Yu Meiren to have her save his new number, but Yu Meiren refused. Who still makes calls now? She even refused to add him on WeChat, lying that her phone was dead. Yu Meiren told Zhuang Yu not to be narcissistic; she wasn't going to school to find him. He even thought Yu Meiren was going to audit classes, but Yu Meiren just gave him a look of disdain.
Zhuang Yu also brought Yu Meiren a gift. Although Yu Meiren felt a bit soft-hearted, she still refused his gift. She appreciated the thought, but accepting a gift would make her feel obligated, and she didn't want to owe him anything. Zhuang Yu seriously said that he was the one who owed her. Yu Meiren actually really wanted to take the gift but held back. Yu Meiren was walking on the road, and Zhuang Yu kept walking behind her.
Yu Meiren thought he was following her, but actually, their department building was in the same direction. Seeing the breakfast Lv Jian gave her, Zhuang Yu felt a bit uncomfortable inside, but he didn't say anything. He took out the gift and gave it to Yu Meiren, asking her to accept it, and then he left. Yu Meiren quickly took the gift and told him not to think that this small favor had settled everything, and then she left.
Tiantian and Da Mei went to the vineyard together. There was an acquisition meeting. Da Mei also invited her to the Qixi Festival event and introduced her to everything, but she looked distracted and said she had quit this festival. As soon as Zhuang Yu returned from his business trip, his office was piled high with gifts. Moreover, he had given up a lifelong tenure abroad to come back, plus the achievements he had made, everyone praised him endlessly.
Yu Meiren came to class, but only one student was there. She thought she had the wrong date, but the student told her that Zhuang Yu from the Department of Botany had returned today, and all the students had gone to see him. Yu Meiren didn't understand what kind of 'great figure' Zhuang Yu was and what was so interesting about him. Yu Meiren was startled by Lv Jian on her way back.
She specifically told him not to buy so much breakfast in the future; it was a waste if she couldn't finish it, as the country advocated the 'Clean Plate Campaign'. He even pretended to fall to find an excuse to have lunch with Yu Meiren. When Zhuang Yu was eating with people from the lab, he happened to run into the two of them eating and laughing together, and he felt jealous again.
After Tiantian returned, she found that Jin Xi was actually at her house, and he was talking very well with her grandmother. Tiantian immediately wanted to kick him out, but her grandmother kept stopping her and even threw his gift away. Zhuang Yu waited specifically for Yu Meiren at the school gate, but he didn't see Yu Meiren and Lv Jian come out. Yu Meiren saw him off at the car, and then Zhuang Yu chased after her from behind.
Yu Meiren directly rode away on a shared bike. Yu Meiren's parents came from Qingshui Village to see her and coincidentally ran into Zhuang Yu. He specifically brought things up for them, but Yu Meiren noticed that carrying these things seemed to have strained Zhuang Yu's back. However, she didn't dare expose him in front of her parents. Zhuang Yu spoke sweet words, making Yu Meiren's father and mother very happy, and he even cooked for them personally.
Yu Meiren and her parents went to Zhuang Yu's house. Yu Meiren deliberately made things difficult for Zhuang Yu, such as spilling water, deliberately putting the chopsticks in the wrong place, and dropping food on the table while eating. These were all precisely hitting Zhuang Yu's sensitive points. However, her parents kept trying to smooth things over for Yu Meiren and praised Zhuang Yu.
Her mother saw that the two of them had quarreled and told Zhuang Yu that Yu Meiren was just a paper tiger with a bit of a temper. As long as he created more opportunities, took the initiative, and coaxed her, it would be fine. Zhuang Yu smiled and agreed. After Zhuang Yu finished washing the dishes, he specifically put away the things that Yu Meiren might trigger in the future. He also sent Yu Meiren a message reminding her to put away her live-streaming equipment at home.
