Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 109

Chapter 109: He’s Having Such a Hard Time

The braised pork belly with preserved vegetables at this state-run restaurant really does taste great.

Seeing Song Chu enjoying her meal, Qin Qiulan smiled and asked, “Not bad, right?”

Song Chu nodded, “It’s delicious, Little Miss Qin, you really know how to pick a restaurant.”

Qin Qiulan’s smile deepened, “Next time you come to the provincial capital, I’ll take you here again.”

“Sounds good!”

After finishing their meal, Qin Qiulan tugged at Song Chu and asked, “Are you going back tomorrow morning?”

“Yes, we’ll probably leave around dawn tomorrow,” Song Chu said.

Qin Qiulan smiled and said, “Let’s go watch a movie.”

Gu Yue, seeing how she was clinging to Song Chu, said with a bit of a headache, “We should go back to the hotel and rest this afternoon, so we won’t be so tired for the ride tomorrow.”

Qin Qiulan pouted, “I wasn’t asking you, I’m asking Chu Chu to go with me.”

It’s rare to make a friend, how could Big Brother Gu be like this!

Gu Yue: “…”

It was rare to see Gu Yue at a loss, and Song Chu was smiling like a sly fox on the side, even giving him a look that said, “Serves you right.”

Gu Yue was filled with helplessness. He really didn’t understand these two women.

Looking at Song Chu’s expression, the smile in his eyes deepened. This woman was really something, how could she smile so adorably?

Song Chu said to Qin Qiulan, “Let’s save the movie for next time. I’m taking my brother around the provincial capital.”

Qin Qiulan reluctantly said, “Alright then, I’ll write to you, remember to write back. And when you get a phone installed, remember to call me.”

She had already given Song Chu her home phone number at the restaurant.

“Okay, no problem,” Song Chu nodded.

After saying goodbye, Qin Qiulan waved to Gu Yue, “Then, Big Brother Gu, I’ll be going now. Next time, remember to bring Chu Chu to visit me.”

Gu Yue nodded faintly, “Okay.” Please hurry up and leave.

After Qin Qiulan left, Gu Yue raised an eyebrow at Song Chu, “Song Xiaochu, your social skills are quite impressive.”

Song Chu raised an eyebrow back, “Of course, don’t you know who I am?”

“But it’s also because your Little Sister Qin is adorable, otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered,” she added with a smile.

Gu Yue glanced at her, “She’s not my Little Sister Qin, she’s more like yours.”

Song Chu chuckled, “I’m charming, right? I’m very popular with young girls.”

In the past, many girls used to surround her. When she won a big award abroad, there were tons of girls calling her “husband” on Weibo.

Gu Yue was amused, “Yes, you’re charming.”

He thought to himself, it’s better to be popular with young girls than with young guys.

Song Lao Si rolled his eyes, “What’s the use of being popular with girls?”

It’s more useful to be popular with male comrades, then they wouldn’t have to worry so much about her not getting married.

Song Chu glared at him, “Being popular with girls is useful too. Didn’t we just get the phone issue sorted out? I told you to learn from me, why don’t you listen?”

She befriended Qin Qiulan not because of her status or to use her, but because she found the young girl to be pure and fun, someone she could be friends with.

But she wouldn’t refuse help from her either. It would be foolish not to use available resources.

Of course, if the little girl needed her help in the future, she would definitely do her best.

Song Lao Si’s eyes widened, “So it can be like this.”

Then he looked at Song Chu with admiration, “Little Sister, you’re really amazing.”

Song Chu ignored him and walked over to Gu Yue, asking in a low voice, “Gu, the Academic God, you should know where the black market is, right?”

Gu Yue glanced at her, “How do you know that I know where the black market is?”

◈◈◈

Song Chu said with a playful smile, “The things you used in your room in the countryside, you didn’t buy them from the black market? Don’t tell me you brought them from the Capital City?”

She had noticed before that the things Gu Yue used in his room were quite good, and some of them couldn’t be bought in the county town. She didn’t believe it if he said he didn’t buy them from the black market in the provincial capital.

Gu Yue chuckled softly, “You’re quite observant.”

Song Chu pointed at herself, “Well, who gave me such a keen eye for observation?”

Gu Yue’s gaze immediately met her beautiful and lively eyes, and he suddenly felt an urge to pinch her cheek.

But he restrained himself and asked a little unnaturally, “Do you want to go to the black market?”

Song Chu nodded, “Yeah, can’t let this trip be for nothing. We should buy some things to take back.”

“Then I’ll take you there,” Gu Yue said, walking ahead.

The four of them first went to the black market. Gu Yue had his own connections and found the head of the black market here. The goods were also quite comprehensive.

Song Chu bought some refined grains, seeds, malt extract, and other things.

Passing by the department store, she dragged the three of them inside and bought a lot of things, vanishing cream, soap, toothbrushes, silk scarves, and so on.

She bought things that didn’t require coupons freely, and for those that did, she used Gu Yue’s coupons. Song Chu was having a great time shopping.

She used to drag her best friend to the mall to shop when she was in a good or bad mood. She hadn’t felt this way in a long time.

Although there were fewer goods here, and they were far inferior to those in the future, she still felt a sense of satisfaction from buying.

Seeing Song Chu unable to stop shopping, Song Lao Si couldn’t help but look at Educated Youth Gu with a bit of sympathy again.

With his sister’s extravagant shopping habits, could Educated Youth Gu afford to support her in the future?

No wonder the young men in the village didn’t dare to pursue his sister. He wouldn’t dare either. This was practically a good-for-nothing woman.

Gu Yue was very puzzled by the look he was getting. Was there something wrong with Song Lao Si’s brain? Why did he keep looking at him with sympathy?

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

Song Lao Si was startled and said with an awkward smile, “Nothing, just thinking that my sister is so beautiful, it’s necessary for her to use some vanishing cream and stuff, otherwise it would be a pity if her skin became rough.”

Of course, he couldn’t tell the truth. He had to help his sister cover up, even if it went against his conscience. He was having such a hard time.

Gu Yue wasn’t scared by Song Chu’s shopping spree. Instead, he found it a bit cute, “Yeah, it’s good.”

Song Lao Si’s eyes lit up, “Right, right, so whoever marries my sister will be happy for a lifetime.”

He added the last part against his conscience.

Gu Yue noticed that Song Lao Si had said this kind of thing to him twice, “Is your family in a hurry to marry her off?”

Song Lao Si immediately waved his hand, “No, my sister is our family’s treasure, how could we bear to marry her off so early?”

He glanced at the aloof and handsome Gu Yue, cleared his throat, and continued, “Of course, if we meet a suitable and outstanding male comrade, our family will also consider marrying her off sooner.”

Hearing this, Gu Yue felt a strange discomfort in his heart, “She’s still young, there’s no need to rush.”

Song Lao Si thought, “Oh no,” did Educated Youth Gu not want to marry his sister because she was a spendthrift?

He hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, “My sister probably bought so many things because it’s her first time in the provincial capital. She’s usually very frugal.”

Actually, every time he and his sister went to the county town, she also shopped like this. He was having such a hard time…

Gu Yue gave Song Lao Si a strange look. Song Chu being frugal? Was he kidding him?

“It’s normal for female comrades to like shopping.” He suddenly remembered that his mother also used to like shopping and was very fashionable.

Then his eyes and his whole body suddenly turned cold. Although they both liked to shop, how could that woman be compared to Song Xiaochu?

Feeling the sudden chill emanating from Gu Yue, Song Lao Si wanted to cry. Did he just make things worse and make Educated Youth Gu realize that his sister was a spendthrift?

If his mom and sister found out, would they beat him to death?
