Setting: Fictional parallel universe, please do not reference historical events!
Bai Fumei Su Qingci, who managed a farm in modern times, was sent to the 1970s as a young educated youth by Ce...
Su Qingci kept fanning herself with her small hands, "Hehe, it's quite hot."
Song Jingzhou stepped to the side, blocking Su Qingci, his face directly facing her, his eyes dark.
"Is it hot? I don't feel it."
Su Qingci leaned against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.
She was too close; the other person's M-shaped red lips seemed to expand infinitely in her eyes.
She's actually quite sexy.
An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air between the two.
"Qing porcelain, Qing porcelain~"
The calls from outside the door brought Su Qingci back to her senses.
She cupped her hands and pushed forward against Song Jingzhou's chest.
Taking advantage of his retreating step, she hurriedly fled towards the side door in a disheveled state.
"Yes, someone is looking for me."
Song Jingzhou watched the other person's departing figure with calm, dark eyes.
The way she blushed just now...
His hand unconsciously touched the chest where she had pushed him, and he felt a surge of excitement.
Su Qingci's fingers curled involuntarily.
It feels pretty good.
"Sister Chuntao?"
When she got to the door, she saw that the person who had called her was Shen Chuntao, with whom she had just completed a transaction not long ago.
"Qingci, I've come to return your bicycle!"
Shen Chuntao, carrying a huge basket on her back, parked her bicycle at the door.
Then he took another bag out of the basket.
"Here, take this."
Su Qingci looked down and saw that the sack contained two pieces of cured meat, a sausage, some fruit candy, and a handful of noodles.
She quickly declined, "Sister Chuntao, what are you doing? Hurry up and put it away."
"I have a job now, so it's much easier for me to eat something nice than for you."
"You should save it for extra meals. Look at you, you're so dark and skinny, and you do such tiring work. Stop thinking about others and be kinder to yourself!"
Looking at the smiling woman in front of her, Su Qingci couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After receiving the grain, the other party immediately thought of giving it to them.
However, she ended up swindling a huge sum of money from the other party.
With a broad smile, Shen Chuntao leaned close to Su Qingci's ear and whispered, "Hurry up and put it away, don't let anyone see it."
"I have more, this is for you."
"I have a way to get it. I'll bring it to you after you finish eating."
Shen Chuntao's gaze passed over Su Qingci and warily looked at the figures inside the security point.
He carried the bag and stuffed it into Su Qingci's hands.
"This stuff isn't easy to find these days, so eat it discreetly. Don't share it with others just because you're shy."
"Saving face is not as important as eating it yourself."
"Everything in this world can be taken away, except your own body."
"Take it quickly, don't be so polite with your older sister!"
Su Qingci felt it was too hot to handle and quickly pushed it back.
"Sister Chuntao, I'm not lying to you. On my first day at work, the security team killed a stray dog. It weighed thirty or forty pounds. I even got a sore throat from eating it."
"Just yesterday, they somehow got hold of a pig's head."
“I really don’t need any oil or fat. You can keep it for yourself. You said it yourself, only what you eat is truly yours.”
Su Qingci understood that Shen Chuntao was wholeheartedly good to her, so she didn't care about her feelings and reached into the bag to grab a handful of fruit candies.
"Okay, I'll take these fruit candies, you can take the rest back."
Shen Chuntao stared intently at Su Qingci's face.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Really? You're not just being polite with me?"
"Really, Sister Chuntao."
"You feel sorry for me, and I feel sorry for you too."
Su Qingci pinched her cheek. "Look, I've gained weight recently."
As he spoke, he pressed the bag into Shen Chuntao's arms.
She waved the hand holding the candy, saying, "I just want this handful of candy."
I appreciate your kind intentions.
"Wait here for me a moment, I have something for you too."
Su Qingci turned and went into the security checkpoint, then opened her cabinet and pretended to rummage through it.
He quickly came out with something in his hand.
"Sister Chuntao, this is a face cream I brought back from the county town. It smells wonderful, so I'm giving it to you."
Shen Chuntao stared wide-eyed at the Ya Shuang brand snow cream in her hand.
It's still in a box.
This brand of face cream is very expensive; it's a luxury item among face creams.
She had heard from others that it cost more than ten yuan a box.
For the women in their educated youth settlement, being able to use Friendship brand face cream for one yuan was already considered very fashionable.
"No, no, this is too expensive, I don't need it."
"You should keep the Qing porcelain."
"I'm digging in the ground all day, so wiping it on won't help."
"Besides, I'm a widow now, so let's not waste this good stuff."
Su Qingci pushed it into her hand; this might be a luxury for others.
But in her hands, it could only be used to wipe her feet.
After all, her farm has a lot of big-name skincare products on the market.
This face cream was something I grabbed casually when I killed that hundred-man killer; it's completely useless to her.
Shen Chuntao always thinks of her when she gets something good, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't touched.
Furthermore, I felt a little guilty for taking advantage of her in the transaction.
"Just take it, I have more!"
"You're allowed to be nice to me, but I'm not allowed to be nice to you, is that it?"
"Then I'll return this candy to you."
Unable to refuse, Shen Chuntao hugged the face cream to her chest with red eyes.
A glint of light flashed in her lowered eyes. "Qingci, you're so good to me."
"I was thinking of giving you something, but I ended up taking your things instead."
"Sister Chuntao, look at what you're saying. People are all reciprocal. I know in my heart how good you are to me."
"These days it's so hard to get a bite of meat, and you're the only one who's been so kind to me, bringing it to me like this."
The two chatted at the door for a while, then realized it was getting late.
Shen Chuntao left, carrying her basket on her back, turning back every few steps.
Su Qingci watched the other person's departing figure, a hint of doubt flashing across her face.
That basket was filled with over 100 pounds of flesh.
Looking at Shen Chuntao now, she seems to be carrying a light load, as if her body is empty.
Where did she take that basket of grain in such a short time?
Was what she was carrying in her hand something she had specifically saved for herself?
She didn't even keep one for herself, but thought of saving one for her?
There is no such thing as good without a reason.
Why is Sister Chuntao so good to her?
Just because I helped her a few times after she gave birth to Yan Yan?
He shook his head, trying to shake off the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
People are very pure at this time; maybe I'm just overthinking it.
She turned to go inside, but hesitated, the scene inside making her a little scared.
Standing at the door, thinking of the person inside, I felt a mix of timidity and a little excitement.
She's not emotionally clueless.
She thought that perhaps she had fallen for him.
Su Qingci's eyes showed a hint of awkwardness.
Hmph~ I can't let him find out.
Otherwise, he would definitely think he is very handsome and charming.
