Chapter 65 -64: Going to Pick Up Lu Jingqiu

Gao Qing laughed and said, “I’ve been observing you these days, and you haven’t been intimate with any of the female comrades here, but… it’s only with my Qiuqiu that you are discussing problems and giving away book coupons, you’re really attentive in every possible way.”

“I’m not…”

“Don’t deny it, if you like her, just pursue her.”

“…?”

“Jingqiu will never chase after someone in this lifetime, even if she likes them, she won’t. Want to know why?”

“Why?”

Hearing his question, Gao Qing laughed out loud, pushing one hand with the other and pointing at him, “You still say you don’t like her, but you’re so curious?”

“I’m just curious?”

“Likings start with curiosity. But I’m willing to tell you.

You know Jingqiu has been to the countryside for two years, right? That was to follow my brother, my fifth brother, Gao Shu. She has liked my brother since middle school, from middle school to high school, and even when she went to the countryside, she persevered. Unfortunately… my fifth brother’s eyes were clouded, and he couldn’t see Jingqiu’s goodness.

So, Jingqiu came to terms with it after he got married, and now she is working hard to live a better life. Of course, she also wants a good life partner.

I’ve observed, and I’m sure you like her, and she definitely has feelings for you. You don’t know, do you, that she has a photo of you inside her book?”

“Mine?”

“It’s of you on a vehicle, a bus. Do you remember?”

Jiang Nanzhou suddenly recalled the time he went to Ten-miles Village, and on the way back, he ran into Lu Jingqiu on the road. At that time, she didn’t recognize him, and she was holding a camera; he had wondered where their family was going.

“Your expression tells me you remember. Jiang Nanzhou, I think you’re a great match for Qiuqiu, talented and beautiful. You’re single, and Qiuqiu doesn’t have anyone in her heart right now. It’s literally a match made in heaven. Why don’t you give it a try?”

“Being in a relationship and getting married is a serious matter. Comrade Gao, you haven’t considered it properly; you’re being too impulsive.”

“Being in a relationship and getting married should be approached with impulsiveness. If you’re not impulsive, how will you find a partner? Comrade Jiang, think it over when you get back. I can really help you.” Gao Qing looked up at the sky while speaking, then said, “The sky has suddenly turned overcast, looks like it’s going to rain. Qiuqiu didn’t seem to bring an umbrella when she left, and Uncle Lu probably didn’t think of that. Comrade Nanzhou, would you help out?”

“I’m not in a position to.”

“It’s at City No.5 Middle School.”

Gao Qing didn’t insist further, but as she left, she mentioned an address and walked away stylishly.

Gao Qing didn’t know what Jiang Nanzhou was thinking, but her words surely wouldn’t be spoken in vain.

Over here, Jiang Nanzhou glanced at the sky, with no one knowing what was on his mind, and returned to the office building as usual.

Just as he reached the second floor, he saw Officer Lu hurrying out of his office. Jiang Nanzhou quickly said, “Officer Lu, I need to report an issue to you.”

“Regimental Commander Lu, if it’s not urgent, let’s talk this afternoon, I need to step out.”

Lu Xianrun had barely finished speaking and hadn’t even passed by Jiang Nanzhou when the office door behind him suddenly opened, and Staff Officer Zheng called out, “Old Lu, there’s a phone call for you.”

Lu Xianrun paused for a moment, looked up at the sky as well, and pondered before saying to Jiang Nanzhou, “Captain Jiang, if you’re not busy, could you pick up Jingqiu for me?”

Having just refused Gao Qing’s suggestion, he didn’t expect such a coincidence, “Alright, Commander.”

“She had an exam today and didn’t bring an umbrella. I’m worried. She’s at the City No.5 Middle School on Deyu Road.”

Jiang Nanzhou nodded and took the car keys Uncle Lu handed to him.

As he went downstairs, he wondered whether it was really as Gao Qing and Lih Huakun had said—whether this was his destiny.

Of all the female comrades he had met in his life, she… seemed to be the most special one in his heart.

He had not driven far when it started to rain, and it was quite heavy.

When he arrived at the school, he parked the car by the roadside and got out with a large black umbrella.

Jiang Nanzhou looked around, noticing that many parents were already waiting.

Jiang Nanzhou suddenly felt like he was picking up his own child from school, but this sensation didn’t last long before the school bell rang.

One by one, many people came out, with the students at this time being of various ages.

The students who came out were gradually picked up, and Lu Jingqiu, who was preoccupied with thoughts about her exam, forgot to check the weather forecast.

As she was wondering how to get back, suddenly a large umbrella appeared over her head.

The moment she looked up, Lu Jingqiu felt as if a light was shining down on her, and upon a closer look, it turned out to be Jiang Nanzhou. She called out in slight disbelief, “Comrade Nanzhou?”

Jiang Nanzhou nodded and said, “It was Uncle Lu who asked me to pick you up. He wanted to come but couldn’t break away from work.”

At work, Jiang Nanzhou always addressed others by their positions, and in private, by their names or titles.

“Thank you so much, it’s raining so hard, and I was just wondering how to get back.”

Holding the umbrella, Jiang Nanzhou pointed towards the car and led her in that direction.

Once in the car, he finally asked, “How did the exam go?”

Lu Jingqiu replied with confidence, “It was alright, I may not get high marks, but I should pass the cut-off score.”

Jiang Nanzhou smiled, “That’s quite confident.”

“Yes, I’m quite certain of my level.”

Looking at his wristwatch, Jiang Nanzhou said, “Let me take you to dinner first, we won’t make it back to the cafeteria in time for food.”

“No need, I’ll just go home.”

Jiang Nanzhou didn’t listen to her and still took her to the state-owned restaurant.

He ordered her a portion of large meat dumplings.

Lu Jingqiu felt somewhat embarrassed, “I’m already thankful for you picking me up, and now you’re spending money as well, I’m really sorry. When you’re free, come over to my place with Comrade Lih, and I’ll treat you both to dinner.”

Jiang Nanzhou accepted without demur, then added, “Let’s go after you finish all your exams. When is the written test?”

“Early July, there’s still more than a month to go.”

Jiang Nanzhou offered a few words of encouragement, and after they finished eating, he took her home.

Back at home, Lu Jingqiu first held Hua Hua and took a nice nap.

When she woke up again, it was already three or four in the afternoon.

Looking out the window, the rain had stopped.

Lu Jingqiu didn’t go outside but instead tidied up the study on the second floor; just as she took out her own books, her aunt came over.

She even brought her a sweet treat.

“Aunt, how come you’re back at this time?”

“Yesterday, I received a call from your older cousin. He said he wanted both families to meet. Your older cousin and Sining are both too busy, so after discussing it with your uncle, we decided to go over to their place tomorrow.”

“Ah, does that mean the wedding will be soon?”

Her aunt laughed, “That’s uncertain. Your uncle and I will go see what her family is like. If both sides are suitable, we’ll arrange the wedding for them as soon as possible.”

“Right, how many days will you go for, auntie?”

“We’ll be back in four or five days. How did the exam go today?”

“Pretty good.”

“Really? Today a friend told me she saw you at her restaurant, accompanied by a young man. Is that true?”
