Li Chuchu got off work. Shen Yanshan had told her this morning that he would be busy at noon and couldn't pick her up. So she decided to eat out to save the trouble of cooking when she got home.
She thought the noodle restaurant Chen Junsheng had taken her to was quite good. Last time, Duan Jingqi had spoiled her mood. This time, she could enjoy the meal to her heart's content. As she passed by the factory gate, she unsurprisingly heard people discussing today's exchange meeting.
"Those military men are so heroic and handsome! I'm going to marry a man like that in the future. Especially that officer wearing a cadre's shirt. He's such a military officer with a scholarly air. He's exactly my type!"
"Are you getting all love - struck just from listening to the exchange meeting? Do you have a crush on that Officer Duan?"
The girl blushed and turned away, trying to cover it up. "No, don't talk nonsense..."
Li Chuchu felt a bit awkward inside and couldn't bear to listen anymore. She quickened her pace.
"It's a pity, though. Officer Duan didn't show up later. I heard he bumped his face into the door. It's really worrying..."
This guy is really good at making up excuses.
Li Chuchu clicked her tongue twice.
Just as she walked out of the gate, she saw a familiar figure standing under the evergreen tree in front of the gate.
Shen Yanshan was leaning against the tree, his head down as he played with the keys in his hand.
He had somehow got a motorcycle and was half - leaning on it. He was wearing the brown striped shirt Li Chuchu had bought for him before. He had rolled up his sleeves high, revealing a strong forearm, looking extremely lazy.
The metallic luster of the motorcycle behind him made his sense of aloofness even more prominent. His whole body seemed to be shouting "Keep away from strangers".
So even though he attracted a lot of attention, no one dared to strike up a conversation with him.
Some people clicked their tongues when they saw the motorcycle.
In the department store, a motorcycle cost at least 2,500 yuan. According to their salaries, they would have to save for five years without spending a single cent to afford one. If your family wasn't a "ten - thousand - yuan household", you didn't even dare to think about it. And judging from the rare color of this motorcycle, it was probably even more expensive.
This guy is rich!
The moment Li Chuchu looked at him,
Shen Yanshan immediately spotted Li Chuchu in the crowd and gave her a charming smile, as if he had an extra eye on top of his head.
Li Chuchu walked towards him. "Didn't you say you were busy at noon and wouldn't come?"
Shen Yanshan chuckled. "I rushed to finish my work and then came to find you."
As he spoke, he gently rubbed her earlobe with his fingers. It was small, cute, and as smooth as jade.
There were still faint ambiguous tooth marks on it.
Seeing the mark he had left, Shen Yanshan felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
Li Chuchu glanced behind him and raised her eyebrows playfully. "Traded up from a bicycle? How trendy."
Shen Yanshan couldn't help laughing. He casually patted the back seat of the motorcycle and sighed. "Sort of. The chain of my bicycle came off again when I went to the factory today. I thought it wasn't worth constantly fixing it, so I decided to get a new one. What do you think? Does it match your status?"
On the first day he got the motorcycle, of course he had to come and pick up his wife on it so that she could have a look.
Li Chuchu nodded and deliberately kept him in suspense. "It just barely matches. Try to get a car someday."
Shen Yanshan stiffened a bit. He suddenly felt a sense of frustration. This was quite a high demand.
The revolution is far from successful, and the leader is not satisfied yet.
Seeing the slight frown on his forehead, Li Chuchu burst out laughing. She didn't expect to see such an expression on the face of this over - confident anti - hero. It was worth it.
"I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously." In this era, it was not easy to own a car. You might not even see a few on the street in a whole day.
Li Chuchu leaned closer to Shen Yanshan, her eyes sincere. "As long as I'm with you, I don't care what kind of vehicle we're in."
It's like giving a carrot after a stick.
Li Chuchu had really mastered the art of taming a dog.
Shen Yanshan's neck turned slightly red. He turned his head and then stole a few glances at her as if by accident. When he saw her direct gaze, he quickly looked away, and his neck became even redder.
Li Chuchu told Shen Yanshan not to take it seriously,
but Shen Yanshan: took it seriously.
He secretly wondered where he could get a car.
...
It was impossible for two extremely good - looking people standing together not to attract attention.
Some people looked over and recognized Li Chuchu.
One person excitedly pointed at her. "Hey, that's Li Chuchu, the announcer from our factory. She was the one who read the study materials with Officer Duan at today's exchange meeting! I remember."
"They looked so well - matched when they were standing on the stage. I didn't expect she already has a boyfriend. What a pity..."
She felt quite regretful. They had looked really good together on the stage. But this guy seemed nice too. Although his aura was a bit cold, his face was really good - looking.
He was just like a movie star.
Suddenly, the man gave her a cold look. The girl was startled by his gaze and walked away silently.
At this moment, Shen Yanshan's face darkened.
"Officer Duan? That pretty boy?"
Shen Yanshan couldn't remember his name, but he was so sensitive to the surname "Duan" that he would suspect anyone with that surname.
Unfortunately for him, he was right.
Li Chuchu didn't intend to hide it from him. She nodded frankly. "Yes. The vice - chairman asked me to attend the exchange meeting today and share my learning experience on stage. I didn't expect him to be there too."
A person with a clean conscience fears no suspicion.
She hadn't done anything to betray him.
"I made an excuse and left in the middle, but I didn't expect him to come after me..."
Li Chuchu was about to passionately tell him her heroic deeds, but she didn't notice Shen Yanshan's increasingly dark face. His expression gradually turned solemn. When she was halfway through, he suddenly interrupted her. "Let's talk about it at home. What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Li Chuchu: Hmm? I haven't even told you the most important part!
But her mind reacted faster than her mouth. "Let's eat out. I know a really good noodle restaurant. I'll take you there."
Shen Yanshan's expression softened a bit. He got on the motorcycle. "Okay, let's go. You give me directions."
Subconsciously, he didn't want to hear that person's name from Li Chuchu's mouth. After all, the former Li Chuchu had been almost infatuated with that pretty boy. He wasn't sure if the current Li Chuchu didn't have any feelings for him.
It would be best if Li Chuchu could just forget about him
and never mention him again.
Li Chuchu didn't notice the subtle change in Shen Yanshan's expression. She happily got on the motorcycle.
It had taken her quite a while to walk there with Chen Junsheng last time.
Great, she didn't have to walk on her own this time.
