Zhao Qinglan was reborn, returning to the 1970s.
Her body was still healthy and young, and her biological daughter had not yet been lost.
In her previous life, she toiled like an ox for...
During the Christmas Eve gathering, Xiaoduo exchanged contact information with many compatriots, so it wasn't difficult for Lan Song to find her information.
That day, as soon as Xiaoduo finished her class and stepped out of the classroom, she saw Lan Song waving at her with a bright smile.
Seeing Zhou Yunting standing next to her, Xiao Duo felt a little awkward.
These two really are inseparable; no wonder I misunderstood them back then.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as she walked over.
Lan Song wasn't stupid. He simply said, "I just happened to be passing by your school, so I came in to see if it's true, Yun Ting." He nudged his friend.
“Yes.” Zhou Yunting’s lips curled into a smile.
"Shall I show you around the school?"
Lan Song glanced at his watch and suggested, "It's getting late, let's have dinner together."
"Alright then." Xiao Duo wasn't one to be coy.
Their school has a nice restaurant.
Besides coffee and beer, there's also pasta, steak, pies, and the like.
After they sat down, the waiter brought the menu, and Xiaoduo let the two of them order first.
"It's on me, please help yourself."
Neither Lan Song nor Zhou Yunting felt that Xiao Duo was putting on airs.
When they got off the plane, they saw that Xiao Duo was accompanied by two bodyguards.
Someone who can afford to bring bodyguards when studying abroad must come from a well-off family.
After the three of them had ordered their food, they started chatting casually.
"By the way, what about that guy surnamed Han?" Lan Song asked curiously.
I haven't paid attention for a few months, and I wonder if that guy has already won over Xiaoduo.
When Han Yi was mentioned, Xiao Duo's attitude was rather lukewarm. "I don't know either, it's been a long time since I've seen him."
It seems they're not together. Lan Song was happy, and Zhou Yunting breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey Xiaoduo, you're really not being fair. It's been so long and you haven't called me even once."
Hearing Lan Song complain, Xiao Duo remembered that he had given her a business card before, but she hadn't taken it.
Of course, she wouldn't say that now. "Oh, I don't know where I put it and I can't find it now."
Looking hurt, Lan Song could only pull out another business card. "Then you'd better keep this one safe."
Seeing this, Zhou Yunting seemed to have learned something and took out a business card from his wallet, pushing it in front of Xiao Duo. "This is mine."
He already has his own company, so of course he has business cards, he just doesn't use them often.
When he saw his friend pull out his business card, Lan Song looked at him with a strange expression.
If it weren't for Xiaoduo being there, I probably would have pressed for an answer.
Once the food arrived, the three of them started eating.
Xiaoduo had attended several classes and was very hungry. While she was eating, she suddenly exclaimed and put down her fork.
"It's over." She was so busy talking and eating with Lan Song and the others that she forgot about the bodyguards who were waiting for her to come home.
They must be getting really worried about her since she hasn't come over yet.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yunting asked even faster than Lan Song.
"You guys keep eating, I'm going out for a bit. I forgot to tell the bodyguard."
She had barely left when Zhou Yunting chased after her. "Lan Song, I'm going to check on her."
As the two of them left one after the other, Lan Song's eyes widened.
When did Yun Ting become so friendly and enthusiastic? Is this still the Zhou Yun Ting he knows?
He found it strange when Yun Ting took the business card, and now he's so concerned about Xiao Duo. Could it be that his brother has feelings for her?
Thinking that his good brother had finally blossomed after all these years, he sighed.
Although he also thought Xiaoduo was beautiful and cute, if his good brother was interested in her, he would back off. There were plenty of good girls out there, and he could just find another target. It was just that he, being the good guy he was, rarely found someone who could move his heart.
Look at him, how much he sacrificed for friendship.
Feeling self-satisfied, he stuffed something into his mouth.
When Zhou Yunting chased after her, Xiao Duo was quite surprised to be told that he had come out.
"No need, it's not far, I'll just go and let them know." It's not nighttime, and we're at school, so she won't be in any danger. But this person is surprisingly kind-hearted.
"Since I'm already out, I might as well go with you."
"Okay then, thanks."
"You're welcome."
After they finished speaking, the two had nothing more to say and could only walk side by side, the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward.
Xiao Duo was the one who started the conversation first. "So, are you still in school?"
"I'm not going anymore. I graduated a few years ago."
"Oh, that's good."
"good."
The atmosphere became awkward again.
Zhou Yunting remembered Lan Song's words: you must be proactive with girls.
He then tried to make conversation by asking, "So, how are your family members?"
Xiao Duo could only force a smile. "It's fine."
"You seem to have quite a few kids." He remembered seeing two boys calling her "sister" at the airport.
"It's alright, I have one older brother and two younger brothers."
"I am the only child in my family."
Um. "Being alone is sometimes quite nice."
Fortunately, the road wasn't far and they had already reached the parking area; otherwise, the two could have continued their awkward conversation indefinitely.
Seeing that Xiaoduo hadn't come over yet after a while, the two bodyguards were getting anxious. One stayed by the car, while the other ran to the classroom and other parts of the school to search.
Seeing that Xiao Duo had arrived safely, the bodyguards who had stayed behind breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, you scared me to death!"
"Um, I was having dinner with my friends at a restaurant and forgot to tell you," Xiaoduo said, a little embarrassed.
The bodyguard glanced at Zhou Yunting, vaguely recognizing him, and quickly looked away. "Miss, please continue eating. We'll wait here."
"I'll finish eating and come back soon."
After saying that, Xiao Duo and Zhou Yunting walked back.
When Lan Song saw the two of them return together, he gave a meaningful smile.
Fearing that the bodyguards would go hungry while waiting, Xiao Duo quickly finished her meal, packed two sandwiches to go, and then said goodbye to Zhou Yunting and the others.
"By the way, Xiaoduo, what's your contact information? Could you leave one too?" Lan Song said.
Actually, they already knew Xiaoduo's contact information, so why not just ask for it again openly?
Although she didn't know why Lan Song and Zhou Yunting had come to see her, her conversation and meal with them didn't make her feel uncomfortable; the two men had the demeanor of elegant gentlemen.
Although Lan and Song can be a bit frivolous at times, they are generally gentlemen, and the two of them must come from good backgrounds.
After writing down her contact information, Xiaoduo quickly took a car home.
After she left, Lan Song patted his friend on the shoulder.
"I didn't expect that you liked this kind of thing."
Zhou Yunting was taken aback. "You like it?"
Now it was Lan Song's turn to be stunned. Could it be that he had guessed wrong? "If you don't like her, why did you give her your business card and chase after her to fawn over her?"
Zhou Yunting frowned. "I just did it that way."
Lan Song chuckled. "You've obviously taken a liking to him."
Could this be what love is? Zhou Yunting felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
