1970s: I Have an Inter-dimensional Trading System

Graduate student Xia Qingqing was on her way back to school after a job interview when she was struck and killed by an object from beyond the skies, transmigrating to the food and water-scarce 1970...

Chapter 404 Love Ended Before It Even Began

Liu Huimin was definitely going back to her hometown during the winter break. She pouted unhappily and said, "No, no, have you set a specific date yet? I must come to your wedding."

Xia Qingqing immediately raised her hand and said, "I've already gone back to my hometown during the summer vacation, so I don't need to go back for the winter vacation. Sister Qiu, you must remember to invite me to your wedding. I can act as a temporary makeup artist. I have experience in this area, so you must trust my abilities."

"And me, I also have time, I can help too," Chen Xiu also whispered.

A warm feeling welled up in Xiang Qiu's heart, and she said with a light smile, "Don't worry, even if we don't invite others, we will definitely invite you."

"Then Qingqing, I'll book you as my wedding makeup artist in advance, and I'll give you a big red envelope later."

Xiang Qiu didn't really not want her roommates to attend her wedding; she was just worried that her wedding would take up their time.

If all three of her roommates could come to her wedding banquet, Xiang Qiu herself would definitely be the happiest.

"No problem, my makeup skills are absolutely trustworthy," Xia Qingqing said, boasting to herself.

Hearing Xia Qingqing's words, Liu Huimin sighed with regret: "It's a pity I got married too early, otherwise I could have asked Qingqing to be my personal makeup artist."

"Um... well, how about you and your Qi have another wedding for your next wedding anniversary? I'll definitely try my best to make you the most beautiful bride," Xia Qingqing teased playfully.

She remembered seeing a saying online before: the first wedding anniversary is called the paper anniversary, the second year is called the cotton anniversary, the third year is called the leather anniversary, the fourth year is called the fruit anniversary, the fifth year is called the wood anniversary... the 25th year is called the silver anniversary, and the 50th year is called the golden anniversary.

Liu Huimin rolled her eyes at her helplessly: "Thank you for your suggestion, but there's really no need for that."

Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue at her and said ingratiatingly, "Sister Huimin, I'll do your makeup beautifully next time Sister Qiu gets married."

“That’s a good idea,” Liu Huimin gave Xia Qingqing an approving look.

“Me too, I want some too!” Chen Xiu said happily, raising her hand.

"No problem, I'll take care of it all," Xia Qingqing assured, patting her chest.

......

After parting ways with her roommate, Xia Qingqing didn't go straight home, but instead went to find Qin Chuan.

When filling out college applications, Qin Chuan not only applied to the same school as Xia Qingqing, but also chose the same major.

Thanks to Qin Chuan's outstanding looks, Xia Qingqing found him without much effort.

Qin Chu'an was both surprised and delighted to see Xia Qingqing suddenly appear: "Sister Qingqing, what brings you here? Did you come to see me?"

"Who else can I turn to if not you?" Xia Qingqing replied with a faint smile.

But the next second he started to interrogate: "Xiao An, didn't I tell you to remember to come find me when school starts? I've been waiting for days and haven't seen you or Xin Xin."

"Well, Xin Xin and I didn't want to trouble you, so..." Qin Chu'an scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

Then she glanced cautiously at Xia Qingqing's expression, afraid that she might get angry.

Xia Qingqing shook her head helplessly, but there was nothing she could do about Qin Chuan.

After spending the last few years together, she had figured out Qin Chu'an's personality and naturally wouldn't get angry with him over such a trivial matter.

"I have some things to do this weekend, but I'll treat you and Xin Xin to dinner next week when I have time off. Do you still remember my home address?"

Qin Chu'an nodded quickly: "Of course I remember, Sister Qingqing, don't worry, I will definitely bring Xinxin to see you on time next week."

He had originally planned to take his sister to visit the Xia family during his break this week, but since Xia Qingqing said she had things to do this weekend, they could go next week instead.

"Remember what you said, don't say you're sorry to bother me later."

"I promise I won't."

Xia Qingqing inquired about Qin Chuan's university life and left only after confirming that he hadn't encountered any problems.

As soon as everyone left, Qin Chu'an's roommate, Du Peng, immediately put his arm around his shoulder with a look of excitement and asked, "Chu'an, was that your sister just now? She's so pretty. Does she have a boyfriend?"

Du Peng couldn't say whether it was love at first sight or lust at first sight, but from the moment he saw Xia Qingqing, his heart began to beat irregularly.

At that moment, he knew he had fallen in love!

Qin Chu'an glanced at him sideways with her dark eyes: "Does it have a lot to do with you?"

"Hehe, well... if you don't mind having another brother-in-law, it should have a lot to do with me," Du Peng said with a sly smile, his fair face looking lewd no matter how you looked at it.

"Get lost," Qin Chu'an glared at Du Peng.

Du Peng didn't care about his cold attitude at all, and enthusiastically promoted himself with a smile: "Chu An, look at me, I have both good looks and literary talent, I shouldn't be too bad as your brother-in-law, right?"

Qin Chu'an was so angry at his shamelessness that her forehead throbbed: "Stop acting silly. Qingqing already has a boyfriend, and even if she didn't, she wouldn't be interested in you."

Upon hearing that the pretty young lady had a boyfriend, Du Peng's face immediately fell.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'you don't even have a girlfriend and still don't like me'? Am I that bad?" Du Peng muttered in dissatisfaction.

Back in high school, he was quite the star student. Not only was he academically gifted, but he was also incredibly handsome, with female classmates constantly casting flirtatious glances at him.

Seeing that Qin Chu'an ignored him, Du Peng grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently: "Say something, say something! What's wrong with me?"

Qin Chu'an felt dizzy from his shaking and pushed him away with one hand.

Seeing Du Peng looking at her with an accusing expression, Qin Chu'an said helplessly, "I didn't mean to say you were bad, it's just that Sister Qingqing is several years older than us, she wouldn't like a little brother like you."

Qin Chu'an knew that Xia Qingqing had always treated him and his sister as children, so Du Peng, who was the same age as them, must also be a child in Xia Qingqing's eyes.

Not to mention that Du Peng is a hundred times more immature than his peers.

Based on his behavior these past few days, saying he's eight years old is an overestimation; other eight-year-olds are more mature than him.

"Age is not a problem at all in the face of love. I don't mind if my partner is older than me, and my parents don't mind either, because my mom is three years older than my dad. A woman who is older than her husband is like a golden brick..." Du Peng said seriously.

Qin Chu'an rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Big brother, are you deaf? I said Qingqing already has a boyfriend, can't you understand the point?"

Du Peng's face fell instantly: "Oh, I heard you. You don't need to keep bringing up this sad fact."

He had lived for eighteen years and finally developed feelings for a girl, but this damned love ended before it even began.
