Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Weren’t You Supposed to Like Me?

Qin Qiulan took Song Chu’s arm as they walked.

She said, “In the future, if they ask you to hang out, don’t bother with them.”

Song Chu asked with a smile, “From the looks of it, you must be quite familiar with them.”

Qin Qiulan pouted, “Who wants to be familiar with them? We just live in the same residential compound.”

“Song Zhi and I have never gotten along.”

Song Chu chuckled softly, “So you often go and tell on him?”

Qin Qiulan said with a grin, “Yes, every time I tell on him, that guy gets beaten by his dad.”

Song Chu felt that these two were a pair of bickering lovebirds, “You’re quite something.”

“Just so-so.” Qin Qiulan felt a little embarrassed to hear her praise.

The three of them returned to the machinery factory together. Gu Yue had also finished his guidance and was waiting for them in Factory Director Zhou’s office, drinking tea with Song Lao Si.

When he saw Qin Qiulan walking in arm in arm with Song Chu, chatting and laughing, he was stunned.

What was going on? They just went out for a bit, and they came back so close?

Song Lao Si was also stunned. How did Little Sister get mixed up with this woman?

Walking in, Qin Qiulan even pulled Song Chu to sit beside her.

Factory Director Zhou was also a little confused. If he remembered correctly, this little ancestor was previously giving Comrade Song the cold shoulder, so what was the meaning of this intimacy now?

“Brother Yue, let’s go eat.” Qin Qiulan looked at the time.

Factory Director Zhou said with a smile, “How about eating in the canteen? I’ll have them make a couple of special dishes.”

Qin Qiulan shook her head, “No need, I’m taking Chu Chu and the others to eat something delicious.”

Factory Director Zhou didn’t insist, “Alright, then I’ll treat you next time.”

Gu Yue’s gaze fell on Song Chu, “Going to eat?”

Song Chu nodded generously, “Of course, this is Little Qin’s treat, you can’t waste it.”

Qin Qiulan agreed, “That’s right.”

Gu Yue: “…”

Little Qin, Chu Chu, what exactly happened between these two just now?

The two of them ignored him, said goodbye to Factory Director Zhou, and pulled Song Ping out of the office again.

Gu Yue and Song Lao Si exchanged a glance, feeling both bewildered and helpless, and quickly followed them.

Qin Qiulan took them to the best state-run restaurant in the provincial capital. She was obviously a regular here, and the usually arrogant and indifferent waiter was particularly enthusiastic towards her.

“What would Comrade Qin like to eat today?”

Qin Qiulan asked with a smile, “What do you have today?”

“Braised pork, Mei Cai Kou Rou, hot and sour fish, and dumplings.” The waiter said.

Qin Qiulan said generously, “One of each, plus a stir-fried cabbage and egg drop soup.”

“Alright, please have a seat and wait a moment.” The waiter smiled and went into the kitchen.

Song Chu was a little speechless. When she just entered, she heard someone ask if there was any Mei Cai Kou Rou left, and the waiter said very impatiently that it was sold out. Now, a different person asks, and it’s available.

In this era, the seller was indeed king.

After sitting down, Qin Qiulan pulled Song Chu and said, “This place has the best Mei Cai Kou Rou, you should try it.”

Song Chu nodded with a smile, “Okay, it seems you know a lot about food.”

“I like to eat, but no matter where I go, it’s always the same few dishes. I’m a little tired of it.” Qin Qiulan said, losing interest.

Song Chu generously coaxed her, “My second older brother makes pretty good food, and he can make different dishes. Come to my house as a guest someday, and you can order whatever you want to eat.”

Song Lao Er had been going to the cowshed almost every day recently to learn cooking and had learned many dishes.

Qin Qiulan’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

Song Chu looked at her bright, shining eyes that looked like a little mouse’s. She found it somewhat adorable and playfully pinched her cheek. “Of course, it’s true. It’s absolutely delicious.”

◈◈◈

“Great, then I’ll come find you in a while.” Qin Qiulan was already looking forward to it.

Seeing the two of them huddled together, talking and laughing intimately, and Song Chu even going so far as to pinch the other’s face, while the usually arrogant Qin Qiulan allowed her to do so, Gu Yue felt that he might have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today.

“Okay, write to me before you come, and I’ll have my second older brother prepare something delicious.” Song Chu nodded.

Qin Qiulan asked, “Don’t you have a phone over there? Writing letters is too slow.”

“We haven’t installed one yet. It seems quite troublesome to install a phone in the village now. I do want to apply for one.” Song Chu felt that not having a phone was inconvenient. She wanted to install two phones at the pig farm so that it would be easier to contact businesses in the future.

But when she asked about it the other day, she found out that installing a phone not only required an application and a certificate, but also waiting for approval.

Because they needed to lay the lines, they might not even come to do it, so she didn’t know if the application would be approved.

Qin Qiulan thought for a moment and said, “This is easy. My aunt works at the post and telecommunications bureau. Give me the specific address where you want to install the phone, and I’ll ask her to help.”

That way, it would be much easier for her to contact Song Chu.

Song Chu didn’t stand on ceremony with her. She took out paper and pen from her bag and wrote down the address for her, “Then thank you in advance.”

Qin Qiulan waved her hand with a smile, “No need to be polite, it’s a small matter.”

“Little Qin is so kind. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me.” Song Chu pinched the girl’s hand.

Qin Qiulan smiled brightly, “Okay, how about I write to you first? Remember to reply to me.”

She had never written to anyone before. It seemed like it would be quite fun.

Song Chu nodded, “Alright, I’ll definitely reply to you.”

The two of them huddled together again, talking and laughing, leaving Gu Yue completely bewildered.

Although he was relatively cold and distant towards Qin Qiulan, he knew that this girl was usually quite arrogant due to her good family background, and she didn’t seem to have many friends.

He really didn’t expect that after just going out for a while, Qin Qiulan would be so thoroughly won over by Song Chu, even taking the initiative to offer help. It was too unscientific.

“What did you two do just now?” He couldn’t help but ask.

When Qin Qiulan heard him ask, she chattered on about how great Song Chu was, “I took Chu Chu skating. Brother Yue, you didn’t see it. Chu Chu is amazing at skating. She even took me along…”

Gu Yue finally understood how Song Chu had managed to win over and coax Qin Qiulan.

He gave Song Chu a meaningful look, “You can skate?”

How many more unknown sides did she have?

Song Chu nodded, “Yes, I’ll take you to play sometime when we have the chance.”

Gu Yue: “…” That wasn’t the point.

Song Lao Si, however, said excitedly, “Little Sister, take me to play.”

Song Chu gave him a side-eye, “I don’t have time to take you to play. Stay out of it.”

Song Lao Si: “…”

This was differential treatment. Was this really his own sister?

Gu Yue listened to their conversation, and his originally uncomfortable mood brightened a lot, “Alright, let me admire your skating skills another day.”

Song Chu hooked her lips, “Then don’t be captivated by me.”

Gu Yue chuckled, “I don’t think that will happen.”

Qin Qiulan disagreed, “How could it not happen? Chu Chu is amazing and beautiful when she skates. I was captivated by her, and so were Song Zhi and the others. You will be too.”

Gu Yue: “…” Weren’t you supposed to like me???

I have a cold and feel uncomfortable. I’m not in a good state. I’ll eat something and then go take some medicine and sleep. I’ll write the next chapter around 4-5 PM. XOXO~
