After coming back to his senses and thinking about it carefully, Lin Chuanbai felt that he might have overthought it. If she had a boyfriend, she would not have kept it a secret.
But in the future, she might really date someone, and then her focus might be on her family.
Many people are like this.
In that case, some things she would have told me would gradually become things she tells her lover.
In that case, will he slowly lose this friend?
After all, once you have a significant other, you will consciously keep a certain safe distance from other opposite sexes, and slowly you will become strangers.
Lin Chuanbai decided to go and find out the situation.
Rumors are often unreliable.
You have to distinguish the true from the false by yourself.
When Lin Chuanbai went to look for Yu Xiangan, he happened to encounter the scene. From a distance at the factory gate, he saw a young man of about the same age as Yu Xiangan standing in front of him, talking about something.
At the distance they were at, they couldn't hear clearly. There were people passing by, all from the food factory. When they saw the two of them, they smiled and said, "These two young people are dating, right? Look how enthusiastically they are talking."
"It must be a good relationship."
"Yes, yes."
"But you still have to be careful in public."
Now, let alone couples, even married couples have to keep a distance when they are outside. Going shopping hand in hand?
Don't think about it.
Lin Chuanbai's steps towards approaching stopped just like that, as if something emerged from the ground and restrained his steps, preventing him from moving forward.
However, he then saw Yu Xiangan said something with a bad look on his face, and then pushed his bicycle as if to leave.
He was familiar with her expression, and she definitely didn't look happy.
They should not be what others think they are.
Thinking of this, he didn't know where the impulse came from, he walked up quickly and called her: "Xiao An, you are here, I have something to talk to you, I just saw you two talking, is this your friend?"
Yu Xiangan immediately explained the situation, "No, I'm not familiar with this person, he's not my friend."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chuanbai's expression immediately looked better. Chen Jingkun subtly noticed it, activated the radar, and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared.
He is taller than him, but he is not as energetic as he is.
Looking at his clothes, which are patched, his family background should not be as good as his. His clothes only have a patch in a hidden place to follow the crowd. How could such a person want to steal his girl?
Chen Jingkun puffed out his chest confidently.
"Comrade Xiao An, I know you are embarrassed to say it, you can introduce me to your friends openly and tell them who I am to you."
Yu Xiangan smiled: "What eyes of yours are not open and aboveboard now? The fact is, you are not someone I have, just a stranger whose name I know."
Yu Xiangan had a headache: "I've told you many times, did you not graduate from elementary school? Otherwise, how could you not understand what people say?"
Yu Xiangan thought he had a good temper, but when he met someone who only listened to what he wanted to hear and made things develop in the way he imagined, he also felt that he had a bad temper.
It's really not easy for such a person to grow up safely without being beaten to death.
"Comrade Chen, I'll say this one last time. If you suddenly appear in front of me like this again and say these inexplicable words to ruin my reputation, I will report you to the police. I have reason to suspect that you are up to something bad."
When Chen Jingkun heard that he actually said he was going to call the police, he couldn't help it. His suspicious eyes moved back and forth between her and Lin Chuanbai, and his face suddenly darkened. She had never said before that she was going to call the police, but her words suddenly became so intense. Was it because she was in front of him?
Are these two people...
There was anger on his face, as if he had been fooled. "Are you two dating?"
Yu Xiangan: “???”
How does his brain circuit work?
Lin Chuanbai was moved when he heard this. They were dating...
It doesn't sound like it's repulsive at all.
Yu Xiangan was really angry this time: "I have seen today that some people speak based on their own speculations. They have dirty minds and they also look at others as dirty. Come, let's go to the Public Security Bureau and ask them for justice."
Chen Jingkun quickly took a few steps back. He turned around between Yu Xiangan and Lin Chuanbai unwillingly. He finally found such a charming object, but it turned out that she was already taken. He was too unwilling to accept it, so he asked, "I know, I won't look for you again in the future. Do you have any sisters who look similar to you?"
Lin Chuanbai didn't know what prompted him to stand up. "That's enough, comrade. You two are not friends. Don't you think you are asking too many questions?"
The movements of the three of them were also noticed by other people. Seeing his protective actions and Chen Jingkun's retreat, they became suspicious.
Could it be that they really had misunderstood before, and Xiao An's partner was not Director Chen's nephew, but this young man?
Looking at his posture, I guess he heard that his girlfriend was being harassed, so he couldn't sit still and came over. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Some people simply didn't leave and stayed here to see if there was any fun.
Many people were looking between the two people. The young man's clothes were not as bright as Director Chen's nephew's, and he didn't look very energetic, but he was tall enough and his temperament seemed calm. Although his appearance did not quite conform to everyone's aesthetic standards, he was not too ugly and looked like he had a formal job.
What a pity! If it were them, they would definitely choose people who work in pharmaceutical factories because their welfare benefits are the best. There is no other way, they are rich and powerful, so they are naturally more generous to their employees.
His gesture made Chen Jingkun more certain of his thoughts that these two people were a couple.
Others have a partner, so he has been a bit annoying recently. He glanced at Yu Xiangan awkwardly and muttered randomly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you have a partner? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have pursued you!"
Yu Xiangan: “???”
You call this pursuit? You call this disgusting!
And when did she have a partner?
Could it be...Yu Xiangan looked at Lin Chuanbai and felt weak.
Chen Jingkun sighed: "Where is my other half? But I believe that when she shows up, I will know, and then we will get to know each other and be together. I can't blame you for this. You met me later. If you met me first, the ending would definitely not be like this." After saying that, he left with a self-proclaimed cool pace.
Yu Xiangan felt as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out, and he felt so upset.
Looking at Chen Jingkun's back as he left, I felt like I had aged a lot.
If she meets this person often, she will probably age quickly.
Lin Chuanbai asked her, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?" Yu Xiangan asked back.
What was the cause of this incident?
Because of his love at first sight, if he could go back to the past, he would be sure to tell her the time and place when he fell in love with her at first sight, and she would definitely find a way to avoid it.
It is not the case that such a person has reached the point of committing a crime. He just came to confess his love when he was free. He did not break the law or do anything immoral. But for her, she felt that she had been harassed and mentally polluted, and she was very tired.
At this time, Yu Xiangan was in a bad mood and didn't pay much attention to the fact that there were many people around looking at this place. In the past, the two of them would choose the place where they talked.
This was the first time they talked in front of so many people, and the familiarity they revealed was noticed by some familiar people, such as Yan Yuzhen, who felt that the two had a special relationship.
She finished some work and got off work late. As soon as she went out, she saw Yu Xiangan talking to a man of similar age. She looked at the distance between them and the expression on her face. A person's body language and expressions are different when facing familiar people and unfamiliar people. She knew how Xiao An dealt with those unfamiliar people and young men who might have ulterior motives.
This is definitely not the attitude.
This is not her brother either. She has seen her brother before. So the question is, who is he to her?
Recently someone came to her and hoped that she could help to make a connection. She had refused before because she knew Xiao An's attitude. But now she owed this person a favor and couldn't refuse, so she agreed to ask. Now, does she not need to ask anymore?
Thinking of this, she walked over and said, "Xiao An, you are here, why haven't you gone home yet?"
"Well, Sister Zhen, I'm back."
"This is your friend. Where is he from? He looks unfamiliar to you."
Yu Xiangan: "It's my friend, Comrade Lin Chuanbai, he works at the county hospital."
Yan Yuzhen's eyes lit up: "Is he a doctor?"
Lin Chuanbai: "No, I work in a pharmacy."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then you must know a lot of herbs." She looked at him with some admiration.
Those who can save lives and heal illnesses are all amazing people. Although this person is not a doctor, he is half a doctor.
"Have you known each other for a long time?"
Lin Chuanbai, "Yes."
"How do you know each other? Did you go to the hospital for treatment?"
"almost."
Yan Yuzhen asked a few questions and calculated Xiao An's age. He is already 20 years old this year, so it is time for him to take it seriously.
After finding out some basic information, I found out that this person was not bad, so I left. There were a lot of people here, so I would ask him later.
But when asked in detail, Yu Xiangan said that they were just friends, and he said it with full confidence. Yan Yuzhen was skeptical: "Really?"
Pure friendship between men and women?
She knew there was, but the way she looked at the young man, it didn't look like pure friendship...
After that, the rumor that she and Chen Jingkun were a couple disappeared in the factory, but another message appeared, saying that she and Lin Chuanbai were dating and the previous one was a misunderstanding. The evidence was that Comrade Lin Chuanbai came to "warn" Chen Jingkun after hearing the rumor, and Chen Jingkun never showed up again. The rumor was so convincing that if Yu Xiangan was not the person involved, he might have believed it.
Yu Xiangan: These two are misunderstandings. Please focus on your work and don’t pay too much attention to other people’s private lives, okay!
These words finally reached Yu Qingshan's ears, "What's going on?"
The younger daughter found a partner quietly?
What happened is that the previous one was from the pharmaceutical factory, but later it was found to be a misunderstanding, and now it is confirmed that it was from the county hospital. It seems that a lot of things happened in between, but he knew nothing.
Asking others about this kind of thing is not as accurate as asking the person involved.
When Yu Xiangan heard him asking about this matter, she only thought in her heart that as expected, if the news spread widely, it might reach the ears of the Yu family. She could only explain, "It's not good to make things too embarrassing for Director Chen. It was Director Chen who helped me take the exam to enter the factory. We have been neighbors for such a long time, and our two families have a good relationship. This is his nephew. Although he is not very smart, we have to keep it to face." Otherwise, she really wanted to beat him up.
Yu Qingshan coughed softly, "How can you just say that someone's brain is not very good? That's too rude."
Yu Xiangan immediately changed his words, "He is too stubborn, immersed in his own world, and unwilling to listen to others."
"Okay, you have nothing to do with him, but what about the one at the county hospital?"
"We are friends, not dating. If I were dating someone, I would definitely let you know."
"Okay, you said we are friends, so let me ask you, how are you going to calm down? If you continue talking about this, and you are looking for a date in the future, and others find out that you have dated several people, what are you going to do?"
Yu Xiangan: "If he doesn't even have this ability to distinguish right from wrong, I don't think highly of him."
Yu Qingshan: “…”
Speechless.
Suddenly I feel that my little daughter is becoming more and more talkative.
After that, Lin Chuanbai looked for Yu Xiangan more diligently, but he would always choose places with fewer people to avoid the rumors from spreading.
He doesn't really understand what he wants now.
Sometimes, he wondered what would happen if he went looking for her openly, but he would soon regain his senses.
He told himself to follow his heart.
His heart now told him that he wanted to be closer to her and see her smile.
Let's do it.
Gao Yimei is married now and has focused a lot of energy on her own small family. She learned about it much slower than usual. She asked Yu Xiangan, "Which of these two do you like? Make a decision quickly."
Both of them come from decent families, it just depends on which type she prefers.
The man she married was a retired soldier, and the two of them lived a pretty good life. She was living a good life, and when she saw that her younger sister was getting older, she started to care about her.
"Make a quick decision, or those people will gossip about you outside. If the news spreads too much, people who don't know the truth may think you have dated several men. This is not a good reputation." By then, they will label her as a fickle person. They will not care what the truth of the matter is and will only harm the little sisters.
"I have been guiding the comments, but after a while no one is talking about it anymore, and everyone around me knows the truth of the matter."
Having said that, Yu Xiangan also felt a bit of a headache.
Twenty years old is still a very young age, but now, with the age starting from twenty, the pressure to find a partner has doubled compared to before.
It is foreseeable that if she doesn't look for a partner in the next few years, people will probably call her an old aunt.
It will only calm down if she finds a partner.
"So you don't like Dr. Kobayashi either? I feel like you two are a good match, you can talk to each other, and you understand each other."
It was impossible for her to be with Chen Jingkun, but she was thinking of dating Lin Chuanbai. When she heard Gao Yimei say this, she felt something in her heart.
There is no dating plan in her current life plan, but it will be in the future. If she wants to find the most suitable person, there is no doubt that Lin Chuanbai would be the first choice.
Why?
They have all lived in the later world for more than 20 years, and many of their world views are similar. Some problems that seem serious to people of this era are no longer a problem in the later world.
When looking for a partner, apart from hormones, isn't it important to consider the three views?
Yu Xiangan suddenly felt that she was too biased before, and that plans could be changed flexibly. She decided to see if she could have a connection with him tomorrow. If she really didn't, then there was nothing to say, they would still be friends. If she did, they could go from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend... ahem, the single woman who had never been in a relationship was a little at a loss.
By that time, no one would urge her to find a partner and get married. They would have a common goal in the future and go to college together.
The more I think about it, the more appropriate it seems.
The next day she specially made a lava cake. Lin Chuanbai liked sweets, so since she had thought of it, she made something delicious for him.
Looking at him as a future boyfriend, I found that he is actually quite good. First, he is tall. He should be about 1.80 meters tall. I didn't ask before because he was still growing. Now I look up and he is quite tall. I am also tall enough, 1.68 meters now, the height of a goddess in later generations. In this era, and in the south, she is definitely tall. Many men feel intimidated when they see her height because of insufficient nutrition. Many men are only about 1.60 meters tall. Chen Jingkun is already tall, about 1.75 meters.
It was because of his height that he could be so bold in "pursuing" her.
Second, he has a job and hobbies, and his hobbies complement her strengths.
Third, he doesn't have a very good relationship with his parents. She has hardly heard of his parents. If she marries him, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should be very easy, because they may not see each other for several years.
…
Lin Chuanbai was now very sensitive to her gaze. While eating cake, he noticed that her eyes were always on him and suddenly became nervous.
Did he accidentally get some cake on his face? Otherwise, why would she look at him like that?
He swallowed the cake in his mouth and raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"I just want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Does anyone urge you to find a partner?"
"Yes, my grandfather and my colleagues in the hospital would ask to introduce me to someone from time to time, but I always refused."
"You refused, what type do you want to find?" As soon as the words came out, Yu Xiangan felt that his question was a bit too presumptuous, and immediately changed his words: "Hahaha, I was also urged by others. Hey, this question has been asked too many times, so I asked it subconsciously."
Lin Chuanbai pursed his lips and felt that the cake didn't taste as sweet anymore.
He didn't want to hear that.
He looked directly at Yu Xiangan: "Don't care about what others say."
Yu Xiangan met his gaze and said nothing. One second, two seconds, three seconds... Yu Xiangan quickly looked away.
It is said that one way to verify whether you like someone is to look at him or her for more than ten seconds.
Thinking of this, she took a breath, shifted her gaze back, and counted silently in her mind, one, two, three, four, five...
How come I didn’t notice before that his skin is quite good and his nose is high. When the wind blows, his bangs on his forehead rise and fall slightly, revealing his deep eyes.
Finally counting to ten, Yu Xiangan felt his heartbeat quickening and felt a little... panicked.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chuanbai's heartbeat also accelerated. Why was she looking at him like that? He suddenly looked away as if something was wrong. She... was looking at me.
Afterwards, Yu Xiangan chose a strategic retreat. She had to think carefully about what she should do next.
When he returned home, Lin Chuanbai was stopped by Lin Duzhong.
"I received a letter from your father today. There is something I want to tell you."
Lin Chuanbai: "What's the matter?"
He had a distant relationship with his parents. In the original owner's memory, he only added a few words to the letter Lin Duzhong wrote to him: I hope you are safe and don't worry.
"Your father had a comrade-in-arms who died in some unknown mission, leaving behind a daughter and a son. The daughter is about your age, just two years younger than you. She graduated from high school. Your father has met her and she is a good child. He wants to marry you two. If you are destined to be together..."
Lin Chuanbai said without hesitation: "No."
Lin Duzhong: "...You rejected me so quickly. You don't have anyone you like. Wouldn't it be better to meet her first and then confirm it?"
Lin Chuanbai was silent, and turned his head to look outside the door: "...Who said I didn't have it."
Lin Duzhong was surprised. He looked his second grandson up and down and saw his red earlobe.
…This is the disadvantage of having fair skin, it cannot be covered up.
Lin Duzhong suppressed his laughter and said, "Whose good girl is this?"
Lin Chuanbai didn't respond.
Lin Duzhong coughed and said, "If you don't tell me, how can I make the decision for you? Good girls are very popular."
Lin Chuanbai waited until the heat on his face subsided a little before turning his head: "I'm actually not sure either."
Seeing him like this, Lin Duzhong thought of his past. He was also stupid and didn't understand anything.
He stroked an old red band on his wrist, which he had worn for a long time.
If it is broken, repair it and continue wearing it.
This was written by her herself.
"So, imagine that there is a young man like this appearing next to her, being intimate with her, talking and laughing with her, holding hands, and hugging her." The more Lin Duzhong spoke, the uglier Lin Chuanbai's expression became.
He automatically brought in Chen Jingkun's face.
Now in his mind, it was a hideous face.
Lin Duzhong knew what was going on. "Imagine that you appear next to her, go shopping with her, take a walk with her, talk and laugh with her, hold hands with her, and hug her."
This time, Lin Chuanbai's face became redder and redder.
He, who was also single from birth, thought of himself and Yu Xiangan holding hands, hugging, and even...
His face felt a little hot.
"Are you sure?" Lin Duzhong sighed. Young people are so easy to understand.
Lin Chuanbai: “…”
Lin Duzhong did not force him to admit it. Young people are shy. He just said, "Tell grandpa quickly which family the good girl is from. Grandpa will help you propose marriage."
"It's not even time to propose marriage yet. I don't know what she's thinking..."
Lin Duzhong was startled. That girl doesn't like his grandson?
"It's okay. Grandpa will teach you how to please a girl. My grandson is so nice, she must like you. Tell me who it is."
At this time, he had already forgotten the person mentioned in his eldest son's letter.
When you marry a wife, of course you should marry the one you like, otherwise you will just be a resentful couple.
Lin Chuanbai: "...from the food factory." He took a deep breath: "Grandpa, you know, do you remember the girl from the fabric factory? The one who fell into the water and caught a cold and took medicine for several months before she recovered? She had a friend from the food factory who came with her."
Lin Duzhong thought for a while, "...Is it that the girl is coming with her sister-in-law who is pregnant with twins?"
"Yes, that's her."
Lin Duzhong had an impression: "I still remember her. She was an outstanding girl with a harmonious family." He was still quite impressed. It was rare for an aunt and a sister-in-law to be so harmonious.
"What does she like? Do you know what she likes?"
“She loves to cook.”
Lin Duzhong suddenly realized: "Those sauces and braised dishes you bring back every time are made by her?" Then if she comes in, can he eat whatever he wants?
But from this point of view, the grandson has been dealing with her for a long time, and he has kept it secret. He looked at him meaningfully, "She likes cooking, so she should like recipes. I remember your grandmother collected a few handed down books. I'll look for them. You can copy one for her. Don't give it all at once. Do it step by step, okay..."
