Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Friendship Can Be So Simple

Song Chu skated two laps and got the feel for it.

She had always been fond of various sports and was quite skilled at both ice skating and skiing.

Seeing Qin Qiulan standing there stunned, looking at her, she curled her lips and skated over.

She grabbed Qin Qiulan’s hand, “Come, Big Sister will take you for a spin.”

By the time Qin Qiulan reacted, she was already spinning rapidly around the rink, feeling as if she might fly off at any moment.

“Ahhh!” She couldn’t help but scream, not out of fear but excitement. It was so thrilling!

Seeing her excitement, Song Chu took her through even more difficult moves, the speed terrifyingly fast.

This caused those who were about to enter the rink or were already skating to stop and stand by the railing, watching the two of them.

Song Chu led Qin Qiulan through various cool skating moves, making the onlookers excited.

“Who is that beauty in the white dress? I’ve never seen her before. She’s amazing.”

“I don’t know. She must be new here. Otherwise, I would have remembered such a beautiful female comrade.”

“She’s even prettier than the factory flower at our factory. I’ll ask where she’s from later.”

“Her skating skills are insane. It’s the first time I’ve seen anyone skate like that.”

“It looks so exciting. I want to be taken for a spin too.”

The onlookers grew more and more envious of Qin Qiulan, who was being led by Song Chu.

Especially when Song Chu flung Qin Qiulan out and then pulled her back safely, executing a series of graceful and difficult moves, it dazzled everyone.

At first, Qin Qiulan was indeed scared, thinking she was going to be thrown off. Her face almost turned pale.

But when Song Chu pulled her back and continued skating, her heart settled, and she thought how incredibly fun and exciting it was. This woman was so good at this!

Her gaze towards Song Chu was no longer filled with the initial disdain and hostility but with a hint of sparkling admiration.

She had been skating for over two years, but she had never seen anyone as unrestrained and skilled as Song Chu.

Most importantly, Song Chu’s technique was superb. No matter how difficult or dangerous the move, she could handle it, and Qin Qiulan felt completely safe.

Especially as more and more people gathered around to watch, casting envious glances at her, she couldn’t help but feel even more excited and proud.

She completely forgot that her initial intention in bringing Song Chu here was not to let her show off but to let the country bumpkin see the world.

After a dozen laps, Song Chu gradually slowed down and stopped beside Song Ping.

Qin Qiulan’s face was flushed with excitement. She panted as she looked at Song Chu, “You’re really amazing at this.”

Song Chu leaned against the railing casually, exuding a kind of confidence and ease that other women lacked, “I think I’m pretty good at this.”

This was nothing. She used to do a lot of truly thrilling extreme sports.

Qin Qiulan didn’t expect Song Chu to be so immodest and boastful, but she found this straightforwardness refreshing.

“Take me for a few more laps?” She tugged at Song Chu’s hand.

Song Chu reached out and playfully tapped her chin, “Little lass, you’re quite brave.”

As if being teased, Qin Qiulan’s face turned even redder, but she didn’t shy away and lifted her chin, “Of course.”

“Not bad, little girl. I like you.” Song Chu said, then took her back onto the rink.

Qin Qiulan was having the time of her life, she hadn’t had this much fun in a long time.

After a while longer, Song Chu noticed that Qin Qiulan was getting tired, so they skated back.

Compared to Qin Qiulan, who was flushed and panting, Song Chu wasn’t even out of breath. She smiled and asked, “How was it? Fun?”

Qin Qiulan still held her hand, “Fun, so much fun.”

“Chu Chu, can we come again tomorrow?” All thoughts of rivalry were gone. She suddenly felt that she kind of liked this country girl, and her way of addressing her changed.

◈◈◈

Of course, this liking was purely platonic.

Song Chu smiled, “We’re going back tomorrow. I’ll take you again next time I’m in the provincial capital.”

Qin Qiulan was a little disappointed, “Can’t you stay for a couple more days?”

“We can’t. We have a lot of things waiting for us back home.” Song Chu was telling the truth. They had been away for several days already.

Qin Qiulan pouted, “Alright, but you must find me next time you come to the provincial capital.”

Song Chu found her pout adorable and pinched her cheek, “Okay, Little Qin.”

Qin Qiulan glared at her playfully, “Why are you calling me Little Qin? It’s so corny.”

“It’s not corny. It’s as cute as you are.” Song Chu liked these budding little girls. Being with them made her feel young and vibrant too.

It was the first time Qin Qiulan had been praised like this, and her face turned red again, “Really?”

“Absolutely. I’m not lying.” Song Chu was good at sweet-talking girls.

Qin Qiulan’s smile widened, “Alright, I’ll believe you this time.”

They were tired after skating for so long, so the three of them changed their skates and prepared to leave.

“Qin Qiulan, is this your friend?” A few young men walked over, their eyes on Song Chu.

This female comrade was even more beautiful up close. Her skin was fair and delicate, her features exquisite, bright and beautiful.

Seeing their eyes practically glued to Song Chu, Qin Qiulan stepped in front of her, glaring at them, “What’s it to you?”

The leading young man smiled, “Why so tense? We’re just asking. We saw her skating so well and wanted to make friends.”

Qin Qiulan rolled her eyes, “Chu Chu doesn’t want to be friends with you.”

The young man whistled, “So her name is Chu Chu.”

Hearing this, Qin Qiulan’s face turned even redder with anger, but she didn’t know how to retort. These shameless guys! “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tell your dad tonight.”

The young man said nonchalantly, “Go ahead. You’ve told on me plenty of times. I’m not scared.”

“Chu Chu, let’s be friends.” He looked at Song Chu, stepping past Qin Qiulan.

Song Chu raised an eyebrow, “Sure, but you can’t call me Chu Chu. Call me Comrade Song from now on.”

She could tell that these young men meant no harm. Their eyes held only admiration and curiosity, not lewdness. Otherwise, she would have started a fight already.

Song Zhi was taken aback, then smiled, “So you’re also surnamed Song. We share the same surname. My name is Song Zhi.”

Song Chu nodded casually, “Alright, I got it.”

Then she took Qin Qiulan and Song Ping’s hands and prepared to leave.

Song Zhi couldn’t help but step forward, “Won’t you stay and play a while longer?”

“No, we have things to do,” Song Chu said.

Young people these days weren’t as bold and forward as those in later generations. Hearing her, he could only stop, “Alright, let’s play together next time.”

Song Chu smiled, “Okay, see you next time.”

Then she left the skating rink with Qin Qiulan and Song Ping.

Once outside, Qin Qiulan naturally linked arms with Song Chu, like best friends. Sometimes, female friendships can be so simple.
