Guide to Happiness for a Supporting Female Character in the 1970s

At the first thunderclap of Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects), Chu Xia unexpectedly learns that she is a lovestruck supporting female character in a male-centered period novel, doomed to spend her ent...

Chapter 134

Chapter 134

In the novel, Su Yun gave birth to her own child after returning to the city, and Han Ting was not aware of this.

As for how she secretly gave birth to the child and who gave the child to raise, the article does not explain.

It was only later that Han Ting achieved success in his career and became famous.

Su Yun suddenly appeared with her child, and the child, whose eyes and eyebrows looked very similar to Han Ting, recognized Han Ting as his biological father.

If reality is the same as the novel, and this child still exists, then Su Yun can only have given birth to the child in the countryside this time, and in secret.

The reason she gave birth secretly in the novel was that she was single.

In the reality they are living in now, if they give birth secretly, it is naturally to avoid affecting their return to the city.

If she and Han Ting had married openly in the countryside and had a child, according to the policy, they would most likely not be able to return to the city.

Even if they could return to the city, they would have to divorce and abandon their children who were registered in the countryside.

So no matter how you look at it, this child is going to be a big trouble when he's born.

If she accidentally got pregnant like in the novel and had to give birth to a child, it would be best to give birth to the child secretly without telling anyone and not let anyone know about the child's existence.

Of course, these are all associations that Chu Xia made when she heard the conversation between Su Yun and Gu Yuzhu.

Whether Su Yun secretly gave birth to a child or not, Gu Yuzhu and Li Qiao who lived in the same dormitory with her didn't know, so it was even more impossible for others to know.

If Chu Xia didn't know the plot of the original novel, she wouldn't have associated these things with Gu Yuzhu's words.

After all, Gu Yuzhu and the others watched Su Yun gain and lose weight, and did not associate her with pregnancy and childbirth.

Besides, whether Su Yun was pregnant or not, gave birth or not, it had nothing to do with Chu Xia.

In the novel, Chu Xia, as Han Ting's virtuous and good wife, has to be a scapegoat and help him raise his illegitimate child. But now she doesn't have to do that anymore.

So Chuxia didn’t care much about this matter. She just thought about it for a moment and then didn’t take it too seriously.

We chatted for a while and the meal was almost finished.

After having a satisfying meal and drinking, and having a very enjoyable conversation, everyone stood up together to toast Secretary Liu and Liang Youtian with a final glass of wine, to thank the brigade for taking care of the twelve educated youth during their years in the countryside.

After drinking this last glass of wine, except for Lin Xiaohan who did not drink due to injury, everyone else felt a little dizzy.

He wasn't drunk, but he was more relaxed and spoke without any politeness or restraint.

It is always easiest to make friends at the wine table.

Wang Xiangqian put down his wine glass and looked at Lin Xiaohan and Chu Xia and said, "Deputy Director Lin, Section Chief Tang, you are going to have a wedding soon. Will we, the old classmates from the educated youth camp, have the honor to attend?"

Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan did not mention this.

We didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, and I never even thought of bringing this up.

But now that Wang Xiangqian had taken the initiative to bring it up, they naturally couldn't say anything else.

Chu Xia smiled and continued: "If you can come, then of course we will be very happy. If you are free at that time, please come over."

Gu Yuzhu replied without hesitation: "Then we will all go. When you have decided on a date and a place, please let us know."

Chu Xia smiled and nodded at her again, "Okay, I'll tell you everything."

Gu Yuzhu looked at Chuxia and finally couldn't help but say, "Hey, I still want to ask, how did you become so beautiful? I only admire your ability for you to be admitted to university and become a state official, but I am so jealous of you for becoming so beautiful."

After drinking in early summer, I felt like everyone else, and I couldn't help but let go.

She smiled and looked at Lin Xiaohan and said, "Maybe... people in love are beautiful..."

Gu Yuzhu raised her hand to stop Chuxia from talking any further. "I just asked this one question. You two are almost making our teeth fall apart tonight. Stop it quickly and save it for the wedding day."

Chuxia suddenly felt embarrassed again and laughed out loud.

Others also laughed in this atmosphere.

That’s about it for now.

Everyone stood up one after another, and after going out they all rushed to pay for tonight's meal. In the end they listened to Secretary Liu and Liang Youtian and divided the meal money into two parts, with everyone contributing a portion, with everyone's thoughts put into it.

Because they had been drinking, Secretary Liu and Liang Youtian no longer had many reservations when talking.

After leaving the restaurant and going outside, Liang Youtian suddenly became emotional again and talked about the past: "I won't hide it from you. When we had twelve of you in our team, you were always sneaky and causing trouble everywhere. You were thick-skinned and disobedient. We were really troubled. But later on, you all settled down. Now you have grown up and are better. You are all great!"

Li Qiao heard this and said, "Captain Liang, you said we were right, but we can't bring Deputy Director Lin and Section Chief Tang with us. They have never caused you any trouble."

Liang Youtian nodded again: "Yes, they are both very good children and have made a lot of contributions to the team."

After standing outside and talking about this for a while, everyone went their separate ways.

Chaozi and Guogai were still responsible for Secretary Liu and Liang Youtian, and sent them to their residence, while the others returned to their respective homes.

After we separated, we still went our separate ways just like we did back then.

Su Yun walked alone, Gu Yuzhu, Li Qiao and Chen Sisi walked in a group, Hu Yang and Wang walked towards the four boys in a group, and Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan walked in a group.

After they separated, Hu Yang and Gu Yuzhu's groups did not go home immediately.

After all, the feelings in their small group are better and deeper. It is a rare opportunity to get together again, so naturally they want to stay longer and talk more.

When talking in private, naturally everything is said.

Chen Sisi said aloud: "I really didn't expect Han Ting and Su Yun to get divorced. At that time in the countryside, they had such a good relationship under such difficult conditions. How come they got divorced after returning to the city to get married?"

Gu Yuzhu said, "Back then, having enough food to eat was a good life. But it's different after we returned to the city. We, the educated youth who returned to the city, didn't have jobs, so how could we have a good life? Everyone around us lived better than we did, so we must have felt bad. Look at what Su Yun is wearing now. Do you think Han Ting's family can allow her to live like this?"

Li Qiao continued, "I think it's not entirely because life is not as good as others. Maybe Han Ting doesn't know how to live after marriage. When I was young and ignorant, I thought that guys like Han Ting were cool and handsome, and they were always in the limelight. They were also glorious and prestigious when they were in love. After getting married, I realized that it was all fake. To get married and live a life, you still have to find a down-to-earth man. If you want to save face and be in the limelight all day long, and your mind is settled, how can you live a good life?"

Gu Yuzhu smiled and said, "Tang Chuxia is quite good at choosing men."

Li Qiao agreed with this and nodded, "Not only can he choose, he can also train."

Who would dare to touch a man like Lin Xiaohan?

Tang Chuxia not only touched him, but also changed all his stingy, mean and arrogant bad habits, turning him into a good man for her.

The three of them walked side by side in the night.

With the adult mentality that is now different from before, we talked about the past things again.

***

After Lin Xiaohan separated from the others in early summer, he didn't hang out outside for long.

The two of them happened to stop a taxi on the side of the road and took it home.

The two of them continued to talk about the past as they sat in the car on the way back.

My mood is different now, and when I talk about the things in the past, I feel different too.

We chatted until we got off the bus and felt particularly relaxed.

Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan walked side by side in the night breeze, and Chu Xia asked Lin Xiaohan again: "So when I was in a bad mood because of Li Xisheng's matter, you didn't just happen to run into me when you passed by the lotus pond that night, but went out of your way to find me, bring me snacks, and play music for me?"

Lin Xiaohan looked at Chu Xia and replied, "Well, since you haven't returned to the educated youth center, I went out to look for you."

Chu Xia looked at him and smiled, then said, "I still remember the song you played for me that night."

As she spoke, she started singing to Lin Xiaohan.

Because they had drunk some wine, they sang in a wild and cheerful manner.

I sang all the way home, washed up and went back to my room, still feeling as happy as a little bird.

Under the influence of alcohol, Chu Xia's behavior was bolder and more unrestrained than usual. After going to bed, she did not sit side by side with Lin Xiaohan on the head of the bed, but sat directly astride him.

Seeing her sitting down, Lin Xiaohan instinctively raised his hand to hold her waist.

After Chu Xia sat down, she put her arms around Lin Xiaohan's neck.

Looking at him, he said, "Tell me anything else I don't know."

Lin Xiaohan thought about this.

Then he thought while looking at Chu Xia and said, "The first time I asked you to stay away from me, I felt something was wrong when I saw you really didn't follow me. I thought you were using me as a substitute for Han Ting, and I was very unhappy."

"One night you and Han Ting had an argument by the river. You told him you liked me and that you were crazy. I was by the river at the time. Even though I knew you were lying, my heart still skipped a beat."

"I also told Han Ting and the others that you are mine."

"That time I fed you candy and stuffed you with so many snacks in front of them, it was because they said I looked down on you."

"I don't want to shake your hand because I'm afraid I'll really get caught up in it..."

As Lin Xiaohan was speaking, Chu Xia looked at him and suddenly said, "You are so beautiful."

Especially now that she was sitting on him, her line of sight was higher than his, and she was looking down at him a bit. His eyebrows, nose, and lips that opened and closed all looked very attractive.

Lin Xiaohan: “…”

He raised his head slightly and looked at Chu Xia, "You're not listening to me?"

Chu Xia didn't answer him, but lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.

Lin Xiaohan paused for a moment, then raised his head.

Early summer kissed deeply.

He slowly tightened his hands on her waist, holding it and rubbing it gently.

After kissing for a while, Chuxia couldn't keep up with the breath.

She let go of Lin Xiaohan's lips and kissed him on the ear again.

Feeling that Lin Xiaohan's hand on her waist was getting stronger and stronger, she raised her head and did not move, just looking at Lin Xiaohan with lowered eyebrows for a long time.

Lin Xiaohan looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

She just looked at Lin Xiaohan and said, "I've never seen you like this."

He just let her kiss him, his eyes filled with love, like a bottomless pool.

The look in his eyes and the expression on his face at this moment were things she had never seen before.

She still has the nerve to say that.

Lin Xiaohan raised his hand, grasped the back of her neck, and pressed her in front of him.

"There are many more sides of me that you haven't seen yet."

He tilted his head back and kissed her on the lips.

"Okay, I'll show you enough..."
