Chapter 3 03 Object

"What? Who?"

Several people were dumbfounded.

Xia Lulu was speechless as she looked at Xia Tang who had a calm face.

Xie Minghui's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Even Qin Yue, who had not spoken just now, raised his eyebrows suddenly, and his black and white eyes widened as he looked at Xia Tang in surprise, as if he had seen the most unlikely ghost in the world.

Quite interesting.

Xia Tang thought anxiously.

In his previous life, Qin Yue almost became a taciturn man.

So much so that she almost forgot how lively and vivid he was when he was in his twenties.

It’s really interesting to see his expression so vividly now.

She simply inserted her hand into Qin Yue's fingers, and when she felt the man's warm palm, her fingers suddenly tightened.

So shy...

Xia Tang felt a little sad, but also a little warm.

Xie Minghui could no longer hold back.

His eyes wandered around Xia Tang and Qin Yue, and finally stopped at the two people's clasped hands.

His face was as dark as ink, and he walked up to Xia Tang:

"Xia Tang, stop making trouble and follow me quickly."

"She won't go with you."

Qin Yue took the initiative to stand in front of Xia Tang, his voice was clear and bright. His thick eyebrows slightly raised, his expression was actually somewhat proud.

Xia Tang stood behind Qin Yue and leaned out to look at him.

"I'm not making trouble."

She looked at him leisurely, her eyes seemed to be looking at him now, but also seemed to be looking through him, at the person in the distant future:

"Why should I go with you? What is the relationship between us?"

The waiter next to them couldn't help but start to make a noise:

"Yeah! Who are you to let the little girl go with you!"

Someone else recognized the great talent Xie:

"Isn't this the famous writer of Yunnan University? He actually came to our factory to ask for a wife! Our factory is really promising!"

"Oh, you can't say that. Xiao Qin hasn't completed the discharge procedures yet. If you break up a military marriage, you'll go to jail!"

Xie Minghui was so angry that he almost burst into tears.

But he couldn't refute a single word Xia Tang said.

Yes, he and Xia Tang were close, so close that they were just one layer of window paper away.

But as long as the window paper is not broken, Xia Tang has nothing to do with him, so whatever Xia Tang does is normal.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt resentment towards Xia Tang.

If her family conditions hadn't been bad, he wouldn't have been hesitant and not confirmed the relationship.

However, his hesitation was one thing. How could Xia Tang look for someone else as a partner just because the relationship was not confirmed?

What's more! That person is Qin Yue!

More and more people came to watch the excitement, and more and more people recognized Xie Minghui.

Xie Minghui stood there with his fists clenched, not knowing whether to leave or not.

Xia Lulu, on the other hand, glared at Xia Tang fiercely and said to Xie Minghui in a flattering manner:

"Brother Xie, I told you they were having an affair! Look at Xia Tang, she admitted it!"

"If you ask me, for a woman as fickle as this, you must..."

"Walk."

"What?"

"I said let's go!" Xie Minghui took a few deep breaths, pulled Xia Lulu up and was about to walk out.

Xia Lulu was confused, but still followed him.

However, after taking only a few steps, he was stopped by someone.

Several men in gray army green overalls blocked the way:

"Who among you is causing trouble in the guesthouse? Come with me to the security department!"

*

All the people present were "invited" to the security department of the machinery factory.

There were many witnesses at the scene, and even if Xia Lulu made a clever defense, she still couldn't stop the public opinion.

You know, in those sensitive years a few years ago, if people from other units came to the factory to cause trouble, it was a big deal. There were even cases of fighting on the spot due to a disagreement.

The chaos has been rectified in recent years and the troublemakers are gone, but considering the severity of the situation, they must be dealt with seriously.

In the end, Xie Minghui's solution was to write a letter of apology to Qin Yue and Xia Tang on the spot, and the head of the security department called the personnel department of Yunnan University.

Because Xia Lulu insisted that she was the mastermind, she not only had to write a letter of apology, but also was fined 50 yuan and had to notify the herbal medicine factory to come and pick her up in person.

Upon hearing the result, Xie Minghui's face turned as dark as ink.

You know, he is now at a critical moment as the deputy director of the Department of Advanced Studies.

Although this kind of punishment was not serious enough to warrant a warning, if it was used as a pretext by others, his chances of promotion would be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, Xie Minghui took the initiative to approach Xia Tang, thinking that if Xia Tang agreed to talk to the machinery factory, then his punishment might be less severe.

But who would have thought that as soon as they got there, they would actually see Xia Tang and Qin Yue huddled together, with their arms and thighs almost stuck together!

Xie Minghui was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and his heart felt like something was stuck in his throat. He just turned his neck and walked away.

Xia Tang had no choice.

Although in the eyes of others, it is normal for young couples to be a little clingy, but only the two people themselves know what is going on between them.

She didn't want to stick to Qin Yue like this, but she really didn't have the strength in her waist. Every time she pulled, she felt numb and sore, and even the roots of her legs felt uncomfortable.

Just when I was feeling uncomfortable, a hand suddenly reached out from behind.

The warm palm with the rope was gently placed on the lower back, and it was rubbed slowly through the clothes.

Then, Qin Lie's sticky voice came:

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xia Tang's face suddenly turned red.

When she looked over to the side, she found that the man's eyes were fixed on her, and the earlobes exposed between his temples were almost red.

Xia Tang's waist straightened up unconsciously.

"Not very good."

Then she saw that the ear had become darker in color.

His ears turned red, but that didn't stop him from using more strength in his hands, and the force made Xia Tang feel very comfortable.

After a while, someone from the security department came to tell Xia Tang that Xie Minghui and Xia Lulu had already written their letters of apology, and asked her to check if there were any problems.

Xia Tang didn't have any objection. She just carefully put away the two copies given to her and put them in her pocket.

Xie Minghui and Xia Lulu had already left after writing their letters of apology.

I heard that when Director Zhuang from the Personnel Department of the medicinal materials factory came to pick up Xia Lulu, Xia Lulu cried so hard.

Oh.

How could it not be tragic?

Xia Lulu loved to play and only graduated from junior high school. She was forced to work in the medicinal materials factory by Xia Dashan and Liu Mei at their expense, and she was only a temporary worker.

After this incident, I don’t even know if I can keep my status as a temporary worker!

It's all done.

Xia Tang and Qin Yue also left the Security Department.

Before leaving, the head of the security department greeted Qin Yue with a smile:

"Young man, I see that you are in good shape and strong. After you complete the discharge procedures and enter the factory, would you consider coming to my place?"

After all, although the security department doesn't make much money, it is also a pretty good idle unit in the factory.

The section chief had the confidence to make the young man agree.

However, Qin Yue pursed his thin lips and answered seriously:

"Thank you, Chief. I still want to go to the machine room."

After saying this, even the section chief couldn't help but be surprised:

"That... is a cold office! And don't think that the mechanical room is just for drinking tea and looking at the machinery on weekdays. Every day, they just put a wrench in their belts and repair the machines. It's busy and dirty!"

Qin Yue's dark eyes were slightly lowered, looking honest, but his words were full of determination:

"Well, I'm mentally prepared."

Xia Tang was listening to him attentively, her gentle almond-shaped eyes slightly curved.

Xia Tang did not go home directly.

That was her uncle's house.

She had always been bullied at home before, and now that Xia Lulu had suffered such a great injustice, she would definitely make a big fuss at home.

If she goes back now, she will just run into a gun.

Since I can't go back home anyway, I might as well stay in a guesthouse and make myself comfortable and clean.

Just after waking up... it was like that. After finally stopping, she simply tidied herself up and pulled Qin Yue to hide in another room.

What followed was another noisy and entertaining show.

When she finally stopped, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Qin Yue also knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, so when he returned to the room in the guesthouse, he searched his luggage for something for her to wash up.

He is a veteran and his living habits have been well trained in the army.

The clothes and towels were neatly stacked in the military green package, making them easy to see at a glance.

It's just... even with his back turned, he could feel Xia Tang looking at him, which made him feel completely paralyzed.

He searched stiffly and handed the item in his hand to Xia Tang.

Xia Tang took it and looked at it. It was a gray-blue towel with very clear fold lines, and a... white shirt?

Xia Tang's eyes could not help but move towards him, but she saw Qin Yue's face flushed red, his eyes moved left and right, but he didn't look at her:

"If you... don't feel comfortable, put on mine first. I'll buy something else and then change into it."

After saying this, they walked out with their hands and feet together.

Xia Tang's face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

She gently put her face close to the towel and shirt that Qin Yue was holding, and could only smell the clean smell of laundry detergent.

*

Qin Yue didn't know what was wrong with him.

Whenever he looked into Xia Tang's eyes, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Seeing Xia Tang's pair of clear black and white eyes fixed on him, even speaking became extremely difficult.

Seeing Xia Tang's fair and slender hands on him, he instantly thought of those fragmented and beautiful scenes.

He felt that he was simply ill.

He had clearly agreed to treat Xia Tang as his sister before coming here, and even before that, he had done a good job.

But once that happened, he was no longer himself.

But is it really like this?

Could it be that in his heart, he didn't even consider Xia Tang as his own wife?

Qin Yue's heart was filled with violent waves again.

In fact, during the years he served in the army, he was thinking about Xia Tang.

In his memory, he has always had this "sister" with whom he had been married as a child. It seems that those boring and difficult days are no longer unbearable.

However, when his comrade died and he adopted Shuigen'er and Niuzi, this thought could only become a thought buried in his heart.

Later, he retired from the army and chose a machinery factory that was closest to her. Seeing that she had a handsome and promising man named Xie Minghui by her side, that thought seemed to be tightly suppressed in the deepest part of his heart and never surfaced again.

But now...

Qin Yue walked out of the factory and went to the department store opposite, and bought Xia Tang the best-looking dacron shirt and a pair of navy blue pants.

The shirt and pants cost him 20 yuan in total, which was equivalent to half a month's salary after he got the job, but he didn't think it was expensive at all.

The shirt was lilac with small yellow flowers on it. The material of the shirt was smooth and better than the one Xia Tang was wearing.

However, the one Xia Tang was wearing was also good. The extra hem was tucked into the trousers, revealing her slender waistline, which looked particularly beautiful.

Thinking of this, Qin Yue couldn't help but stretch out his hand and stroke his face up and down several times.

Qin Yue, you can't control your brain, you are such a beast.

Qin Yue went back to the guesthouse while doing a profound self-examination, his steps unconsciously getting faster and faster.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly found that the person he was criticizing was standing opposite him holding an enamel basin, with his white shirt loosely on his body. His face turned red all of a sudden.

Xia Tang was born beautiful.

She has a palm-sized fair face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes as bright as a deep spring. Even though she dresses simply on weekdays, it still can't hide her superior appearance.

I had just finished taking a shower, and my skin was white and soft.

And the white shirt she was wearing...

Looking at her wearing her best dress, even though the buttons were fastened from the bottom to the top, her slender neck and the skin underneath were still faintly visible, which made people feel their blood boiling at the first sight.

"You're back? So soon?"

Xia Tang didn't see anything. He just looked at Qin Yue in surprise and turned into the small room.

She was wearing Qin Yue's white shirt and felt a little embarrassed, not wanting to stay outside any longer.

Qin Yue hummed sullenly and handed the clothes and pants in his hand to Xia Tang:

"I bought it for you, wear it."

After saying that, he ran out again.

Xia Tang took it with a helpless look.

When my fingers touched the smooth and delicate texture, my heart couldn't help but soften.
