Chapter 341: Integrating So Quickly

Song Chu and Huo Yao walked hand in hand, strolling through the department store together.

Now, the degree of openness both domestically and internationally was increasing. Some people in Guangdong Province had opened clothing factories, so many clothes in the Kyoto department store could be bought without needing ration tickets.

The colors were no longer limited to black, gray, and blue as in previous years, but had become much more vibrant.

When the two saw something they liked, they bought it without hesitation, and soon they were carrying several large bags.

At noon, Huo Yao finally said, “The time I arranged to meet them for lunch is almost here. Otherwise, we could have shopped a little longer.”

“It’s fine. If you haven’t had enough, we can come again in a couple of days.” Song Chu said with a light smile, seeing that she still seemed to have more to see.

Huo Yao said playfully, “Chu Chu, you’re so nice. I love shopping with you. Our tastes and preferences are so similar.”

She often went shopping with other friends, but none of them had the patience to wait for her to try on clothes one by one.

And their tastes were a bit different from hers. They would ask for her advice, but might not listen to it, leading to occasional disagreements.

But Song Chu would not only wait for her to try on each piece, but also give great suggestions.

And if she thought something looked good on Song Chu, and suggested it, the other would try it on, and if it looked good, she would buy it right away.

She felt that going out with Song Chu was even more considerate than going out with her male colleagues who were pursuing her.

“If only you were a man, I would marry you,” she said with a giggle.

Song Chu laughed, “If I were a man, my Gu, the Academic God, would be crying.”

“Haha, then let him cry,” Huo Yao laughed, linking arms with Song Chu.

“Let’s put our things in the car first, then go eat,” Song Chu said.

Huo Yao nodded, “Yes, yes, that’s what I was thinking too.”

“You’re so amazing, you can even drive. After shopping, we can just throw everything in the car, so convenient.” Neither she nor her friends could drive, and every time they went out to eat or do something, they had to carry big bags, which was tiring.

Song Chu smiled, “You can ask Brother Huo to teach you in the future.”

“He won’t teach me. He says it’s too dangerous for girls to drive, so annoying,” Huo Yao pouted.

“Actually, as long as you drive slowly, it’s fine. It’s more convenient for girls to learn to drive when going out. As long as you pay attention to the speed, it won’t be that dangerous,” Song Chu supported Huo Yao.

Huo Yao strongly agreed, “Exactly. See, Brother Yue lets you drive. My brother is just too bossy.”

“Chu Chu, after you come to Kyoto, how about you teach me to drive?” She shook Song Chu’s arm.

Song Chu readily agreed, “As long as your family agrees, I have no problem.”

“Don’t worry, with you teaching me, I can definitely convince them. Now my grandfather and parents are all telling me to learn from you more,” Huo Yao said, winking.

Song Chu was now the kind of outstanding junior that the elders liked, so they hoped their own children could learn from her and bring glory to the family.

“Learn what from me?” Song Chu was taken aback.

Huo Yao said, “Because they think you’re very excellent, so they want me to learn this kind of quality from you.”

“After hearing about your recent deeds, I felt very relieved, let alone my grandfather and parents, the older generation,” she said.

Song Chu laughed, “So that’s it. The older generation does indeed value these things more.”

The two put their things in the car and then walked to a Western restaurant on the next street.

Sure enough, most of the people coming and going were young men and women. When they saw Song Chu and Huo Yao, they couldn’t help but look over. The two beauties were too eye-catching.

Especially Song Chu, who had a 100% turn-back rate.

When they went up to the second floor and reached their reserved seats, Huo Yao’s three friends had already arrived.

The eyes of all three were fixed on Song Chu, all showing expressions of shock and amazement.

◈◈◈

Seeing this, Huo Yao smiled and waved at them, “I didn’t lie to you, right? Isn’t my Chu Chu especially beautiful?”

The three nodded in unison, “She is indeed very beautiful.”

What about the ugly and unrefined village girl? Who spread those rumors? They swore they wouldn’t beat her to death if she came out.

If this was considered ugly and unrefined, then they must be even uglier and more unrefined.

They had been saying that there was no way a man as elegant and refined as Gu Yue would find someone ugly, unrefined, and uneducated. That would mean they had nothing in common to talk about.

“You are all very pretty too,” Song Chu smiled generously at the three.

Huo Yao pointed to a long-haired woman with a mature vibe and said, “This is Xiao Xiao.”

“This is Du Tong,” she pointed to a short-haired woman who looked quite capable.

Finally, pointing to a woman with permed hair and a charming demeanor, she said, “This is Fei Ting.”

“Let me formally introduce you, my cousin’s wife, Song Chu. You can also call her Chu Chu like I do,” she introduced, affectionately pulling Song Chu along.

“Chu Chu, you can also call them Xiao Xiao, Tong Tong, and Ting Ting,” she added.

“Hello, Chu Chu. It’s nice to meet you,” the three greeted Song Chu first, knowing from Huo Yao’s attitude that she valued Song Chu greatly.

Song Chu nodded, “Hello, Xiao Xiao, Tong Tong, Ting Ting. It’s nice to meet you too.”

The two sat down, and everyone started ordering.

There were two menus, one in Chinese and one in English.

Now that things were more open, many foreigners were coming. This restaurant was also opened by a Spaniard.

“Chu Chu, I heard your English is very good. Take a look and see what you want to order,” Du Tong handed her the English menu.

She wasn’t trying to make things difficult, she was just genuinely curious if Song Chu could understand it.

Afraid Song Chu might misunderstand, she added, “I can’t understand it at all.”

Song Chu took it, looked it over, and pointed at the menu to order, “I’ll have the pasta, a steak, and a juice.”

As she pointed at the menu, Du Tong also held the Chinese version for comparison. “Wow, Chu Chu, your foreign language is really impressive. You can even recognize the names of the dishes.”

Who said Song Chu was uneducated? That’s completely false.

If Song Chu was considered uneducated, then they must be illiterate.

The other two felt the same way. Song Chu was clearly very educated. The people spreading rumors were too much.

Huo Yao held Song Chu, smiling proudly, “Of course, my Chu Chu is the best.”

“Thank you for your compliments, I like this kind of praise very much,” Song Chu could tell that although these three had different personalities, they were all easy to get along with.

They quickly ordered their food, and then Du Tong and the others noticed that Song Chu’s dining etiquette was even more refined than theirs, and she had an air of elegance that was pleasing to the eye. It was very attractive.

This didn’t seem like a country bumpkin at all. She seemed even more stylish than children from families like theirs.

Song Chu understood girls’ hearts well, so after a meal, she had become close with the three.

At first, the three were polite to Song Chu because of Huo Yao, but now they genuinely liked her, and truly accepted her into their circle.

If others knew that Song Chu had integrated into their circle so quickly, they would be very surprised. These girls were known to be the most arrogant and difficult to deal with among the third generation…
