Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Wu Zhengran’s Request
“Still arguing, who do I think I am? Soone who understands you even better than your mother. Ever since you got scratched by her Hua Hua, I could tell that you treat Lu Jingqiu differently from other female comrades.”
“When you look at Lu Jingqiu, your eyes shine with a glint.”
Jiang Nanzhou was amused by Lih Huakun’s teasing, “Busybody.”
Lih Huakun didn’t argue, “I’m only a busybody with you. You’re twenty-six this year, and I think it’s indeed ti for you to settle down. Uncle Lu’s daughter is well-matched with you in social standing, and Lu Jingqiu is quite good-looking too, very much your type.”
“Firstly, you’re also twenty-six, so if anyone should settle down, it’s you. Secondly, how co she’s suddenly my type? Haven’t you heard the nicknas those soldiers have for ?”
“I’ve always been looking for a suitable comrade in arms, haven’t I? It’s just I haven’t encountered one yet. It’s different for you; you probably haven’t even realized that you’ve recently been paying quite a bit of attention to Lu Jingqiu, even if you’re unaware of it.
Black-faced Jiang, the tough steel man, a sweet and fair girl like that is ant for you, Black-faced Jiang. As a friend, let
remind you, a good partner isn’t sothing you can easily find. If you like her, you should go after her quickly. I’ve heard that quite a few people in the team like Comrade Jingqiu.”
“It’s natural for everyone to like a good girl, that’s normal.”
“Still making excuses, hmm. Let
ask you, how long has it been since you two t?”
“Has it… Does it count from the first ti we saw each other?”
“Yeah.”
“Half a year.”
“In this half-year, how many coincidental etings have there been?”
“…Six or seven tis.”
“Tsk, for two people who aren’t familiar with each other to et up so many tis in such a short period, it’s like heaven is creating opportunities for you. You’d better not foolishly treat her just as an ordinary friend.”
“I haven’t treated her as just an ordinary friend,” Jiang Nanzhou replied subconsciously.
Lih Huakun said, “Oh? So you do like her.”
Seeing his friend start to dig deeper, Jiang Nanzhou pursed his lips and refused to tell him.
Lih Huakun was used to this and didn’t get angry. He continued to analyze for his friend, “Look at , we both ca to West City around the sa ti, and I’ve obviously t Lu Jingqiu fewer tis than you.
I’m very good at reading people, and Lu Jingqiu, this girl, is kind-hearted, virtuous, and not delicate, also she is very steady in her work, very suitable for you. If you think she’s good, you should take action quickly. I’m going back to the hospital now, you think about it yourself.”
“Not staying for dinner?”
“The hospital is short-staffed, and I’m doing the work of two. Sotis I think I might as well have it easier like Hua Hua in Lu Jingqiu’s house.”
Jiang Nanzhou laughed at his words and agreed, “Her cat ranks first in her ho, completely overpowering Commander Lu’s status. I highly agree.”
“If you beca part of her family, you could try competing with Hua Hua for rank.”
“Get out of here.”
Jiang Nanzhou didn’t take Lih Huakun’s words seriously; his feelings for Lu Jingqiu were indeed just care and concern for the daughter of a family friend and his leader’s family mber, without much else on his mind.
…
In the morning, while Lu Jingqiu was picking vegetables in the yard,
Xiao Shun was once again perched on the wall, sharing his joy with a smile, “Sister Xiao Qiu, my mom agreed to let us keep Ah Fu.”
“Really?”
Xiao Shun gave her a thumbs-up with a smile, “My mom said we can keep him, but he’s not allowed to run into the house, only in the yard.”
“That’s great, then take good care of Ah Fu.”
“Yeah, yeah, Sister Xiao Qiu, to thank you, I’ll catch a few more bugs for your chickens this week.”
Lu Jingqiu gave him a thumbs-up; having a little helper like him was certainly better than managing a large group.
When she arrived at the unit, Yang Bo and Luo Xinyue were already there.
The work at hand was still the previous project, and they didn’t start on new tasks.
Therefore, the three of them also got off work a little earlier.
After getting ho, she continued her unwavering studies. Of course, she also kept an eye on Hua Hua’s health these past few days.
By the third day of dication, Hua Hua’s stools had ford properly.
Lu Jingqiu didn’t dare to feed it raw at, seeing that it wouldn’t go out, it also stopped catching mice.
After a week of work, their coordination was seamless, and they completed a small half of the project.
On Friday afternoon, Lu Jingqiu and Gao Qing went to the school together.
On the way back, Lu Jingqiu ntioned Wu Zhengran to her, “He ca to see , and I even accepted his gifts. Do you want to et him?”
“Comrade Jingqiu, are you his friend or mine? You can’t push
away just because of so fruit.”
Lu Jingqiu shook her head, “I just think he’s quite pitiful, he’s about to be heartbroken.”
“Heartbroken? If he has a girlfriend, why is he coming to ?”
“The one he’s heartbroken over is you. In a month, he’s going to Capital City for school, leaving here. Whatever you beco, whoever you date, he can do nothing but watch you drift farther and farther away from him.”
“From what you’re saying, I should et him, comfort his little heart?”
“You can make your thoughts clear to him so he doesn’t get too obsessed.”
Gao Qing sighed, her mind wavering.
“Qingqing, you’re not still thinking about Wei Jincheng, are you?”
As soon as Wei Jincheng was ntioned, Gao Qing’s face instantly brightened with a smile, “Yeah, I asked him out to dinner yesterday.”
“Ah, did you check his background?”
“Not yet, I’ve been too busy to get around to it.”
Lu Jingqiu watched Gao Qing’s triumphant smile and gradually grew worried. If Gao Qing was still entangled with these two n in her life, choosing between Wei Jincheng and Wu Zhengran, she would support Wu Zhengran. At least Wu Zhengran had never done Gao Qing wrong and only ever had Gao Qing in his life.
But Wei Jincheng was different. Although he didn’t like Gao Qing, he had still been ambiguous with her in the beginning, even causing Gao Qing to be unforgettable for a lifeti, which led to her unhappy marriage eventually.
“Since you’ve put it this way, I’ll et him then, make it clear to him, and let him give up hope.”
Lu Jingqiu nodded, but still reminded her, “You should still inquire about Wei Jincheng. If you have fellow villagers, you can ask them too.”
“Qiuqiu, when did you beco such a nag, worse than my mother.”
“Ah?” Had she beco naggy?
“Tell Wu Zhengran, I’ll et him at the park tomorrow afternoon at two o’clock.”
“Okay, but tonight, we still need to study at my place. Have you been studying properly in the dorm this week?”
“I have, I’m so scared they’ll find out, every night I read under the covers with a flashlight. I’ve morized all the key points you marked for .”
“That’s impressive.”
“That’s right, Sister is also capable of studying well. Isn’t there a major exam next month? I specifically sought out a teacher from the troupe, told her I wanted to go to university, and asked for her guidance.
Guess what happened?”
“What happened?”
“The teacher, who usually has the sa expression for everyone, promptly agreed. She even exempted
from rehearsals, calling
to the dance studio every day after class to coach
on dance movents and encouraging
warmly to work harder.” Gao Qing’s eyes glead with joy as she spoke, “Qiuqiu, I had no idea that wanting to go to university would change their attitude towards
so much. You know, they didn’t like
that much before.”
“I told you, teachers and neighbors all like people who are motivated and make an effort.”
“Yeah, the teacher’s encouragent has given
even more motivation. I’m fine with Chinese, but the hardest parts are math and English.”
“Don’t worry, I’m a bit better at math than you, I can teach you. We’ll work together on morizing English vocabulary.”
“Okay, this ti I’ll listen to you.”
Lu Jingqiu went to Wu Zhengran’s house early the next morning—don’t ask how she knew where to go, she rembered everything from her previous life.
Wu Zhengran was so delighted to hear the good news early in the morning that he almost jumped for joy.
Perhaps because Lu Jingqiu was there, he restrained himself, “Old classmate, I really can’t thank you enough. If you ever need help, just ask , and I’ll be there.”
“No need for that, just don’t forget the ti. I’m leaving now.”
“I definitely won’t forget, take care on your way, and I’ll treat you to a al another day.”
“Goodbye.” Lu Jingqiu certainly didn’t dare to let him buy her a al, not knowing whether he would be crying after today.
