University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
The strong perfume made Qin Xiaoyu sneeze loudly, and she patted her hat with concern.
"Alex, your little one is so cute!" Third Sister praised Qin Xiaoyu without reservation.
"I think so too. Your hat is very beautiful. Where did you order it?" Fifth Sister was more interested in Qin Xiaoyu's hat.
I made it myself.
"Wow! This little thing is amazing! Can you make one for me?" Third Sister covered her mouth in surprise.
"No problem," Qin Xiaoyu replied with a sweet smile, but inwardly she wanted to curse. *You're the little thing! Your whole family are little things!*
The group entered the show venue, and A Lei led them to the front row. Some people were already seated. Qin Xiaoyu tried her best to control herself, but her eyes couldn't help but light up. How could she possibly control that?!
Who is that elegant gentleman? Is it Leslie Cheung? And is that stunningly beautiful woman with the afro, Anita Mui? Is that tall and slender Chow Yun-fat?
Good heavens, what kind of era is this?
Even after Qin Xiaoyu sat down, her eyes remained fixed on the person opposite her, unable to look away.
"Wipe your drool, don't look so pathetic," A Lei reminded her.
Qin Xiaoyu obediently raised her hand, only to realize that she had been tricked.
"I love them so much!"
"Shall I take you to get an autograph later?"
"Okay!" Qin Xiaoyu smiled so hard her eyes narrowed, then sniffed and moved closer to A Lei.
"Don't try to seduce me." A Lei remained unmoved.
Qin Xiaoyu suddenly remembered her decision from that morning, felt a little disheartened, and silently sat up straight.
"Is the cake good? I miss it so much."
"It misses you too." Qin Xiaoyu said, then regretted it a little, as if she didn't need to express the cake's feelings for it.
Do you know why I like cake?
"have no idea."
"It looks a lot like you."
"Am I that dark-skinned?" Qin Xiaoyu exploded again.
"……woman."
They were having a perfectly good chat, but they were completely on different wavelengths.
The fashion show began, and the models filed out.
Qin Xiaoyu was instantly captivated. It's said that fashion goes through a cycle every thirty years, and it seems that's really true.
Thirty years later, in 2016, she and her classmates went to an international fashion show to help their senior. The dazzling show was strikingly similar to the one in front of her, giving her a sense of time travel.
This similarity does not refer to being completely identical, but rather to the interpretation of fashion and the combination of trendy elements.
Qin Xiaoyu regretted not bringing a camera with her, and could only watch helplessly as the flashes went off one after another, feeling incredibly jealous.
When the fashion show ended, Qin Xiaoyu said goodbye and ran outside.
"Don't you want to sign anymore?"
"No, I want to go back to the hotel!"
"Little one, let's go get a drink," the third sister called after them.
"Thank you! I need to go back and draw!" Qin Xiaoyu had just opened the car door and was about to get in when A Lei pulled her back.
"How many drawings do you need? I'll make them for you. Just come with us."
"Really? Okay!" Qin Xiaoyu knew he meant what he said, so she adjusted her little hat and kept up with A Lei's pace.
"Your little girlfriend is so cute, no wonder Grandma said she likes her!" Third Sister was extremely satisfied with Qin Xiaoyu.
At first, Qin Xiaoyu thought they were going to a bar, but when they arrived, she realized it was a private club.
The owner is a socialite. Judging from her appearance, she is a local. She has a very good figure, light brown skin, and a cool and elegant makeup.
"Alex!" she exclaimed, rushing over to give Alex a kiss on the cheek.
"Emma, you're amazing, you brought him here."
"No, it's not because of me, it's because of this little thing." Third Sister pulled Qin Xiaoyu out of the crowd and shoved her in front.
"What an exquisite little thing! This hat is so stylish!" Lin Yaofangfei immediately took a liking to Qin Xiaoyu's hat.
"Thank you." Qin Xiaoyu tried to stand on tiptoe. She wasn't much shorter than Lin Yaofangfei, so why was she called "little thing"?
“Alex! Mr. Cheng is very angry. You refused to take the case he asked you for last time, and now you’ve taken a small case.” Lin Yaofangfei abandoned Qin Xiaoyu and suddenly attacked A Lei, still in English.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. The case is minor, but the client is the little guy’s nephew,” Third Sister immediately spoke up for A Lei.
"So that's how it is. It seems that A Lei has really fallen for the little thing."
"Let's see what this little guy is capable of; keeping him by your side is a real skill."
"It's been over a year, hasn't it? That's quite a while."
"Are you really tired of playing? Do you want to take a break for a while?"
"Men are never satisfied, don't worry."
"This little thing looks delicate and weak, but it's very capable."
"This is no ordinary person; don't underestimate him."
"I heard he's from a small city in northern China?"
For some reason, they were convinced that Qin Xiaoyu couldn't understand English, and they started criticizing her right in front of her.
However, they spoke really fast, and with accents, that if Qin Xiaoyu hadn't been fluent in English, she probably wouldn't have understood them at all.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyu's increasingly grim expression, A Lei, who had been watching the commotion, finally stepped forward.
“That’s enough for you guys, her English is really good.” A Lei grinned mischievously, and the women all shut up.
Qin Xiaoyu had already squeezed into the crowd and walked away on her own.
"I didn't expect to run into you here." A familiar voice came from inside, and Qin Xiaoyu looked up and met Boss Zhu's clear eyes.
"It really is Director Qin. I thought it looked like him, but I was still a bit dazed and couldn't quite recognize him."
"What a coincidence. Is Boss Zhu here to perform?" Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously.
“No, I rarely perform; I mostly travel around. I’m not as dedicated as my junior apprentices. Life is short; career is one thing, but life is another.” Boss Zhu smiled.
"What Boss Zhu said makes me ashamed. I am a workaholic." Qin Xiaoyu laughed as well.
"It's a bit stuffy in here, let's go upstairs for some fresh air." Boss Zhu was obviously not a first-timer, and he led Qin Xiaoyu up the stairs, where it turned out to be a large platform.
This is a sea-view room, overlooking the sea and feeling the sea breeze. Standing on the railing, Qin Xiaoyu's earlier gloom was swept away by the sea breeze.
"I heard from my junior apprentice that your business is very successful. I admire independent and opinionated women like you." Boss Zhu was praising her. Xiao Mengting was right; he had feelings for her.
"You flatter me. I just like to work hard and don't want to follow the crowd," Qin Xiaoyu said with a faint smile.
"You make it sound so easy, but I can only imagine how hard you've worked on your journey." Boss Zhu's words were so warm that Qin Xiaoyu was a little overwhelmed.
It turns out she really wanted someone to tell her, "You're tired, take a rest."
"I've been a bit tired lately, so I need to spend some quality time with my family when I get home."
“That’s not what I meant. Director Qin, there’s more to life than just family.”
Qin Xiaoyu was a little flustered. What was going on?
Holy crap, is he going to confess his feelings?
