Thinking of Lin Yanbai, Gu Xingfan was distracted slightly. Although it was only for a moment, it was still noticed by Grandpa Gu who knew him well. This kid seems to have some problems!
Gu Xingfan knew Grandpa Gu, and similarly, Grandpa Gu knew him very well. He was 100% sure that this kid must have some feelings about the girl at noon.
"At noon, a colleague from the factory came to see me about something." Gu Xingfan explained.
"Oh~ colleague! When will you bring her back so that grandpa can meet your female colleague?" Grandpa Gu deliberately emphasized the word "female".
Facing the teasing gaze from his grandfather, Gu Xingfan shook his head helplessly and walked straight to the sofa.
"Grandpa, I also think something is wrong with Brother Fanzi. He seems very happy today!" Li Mingcheng also joined in the fun.
Gu Xingfan looked at the two people who were talking happily, and sighed helplessly, what a pair of funny guys.
As for Lin Yanbai, who returned to the factory, she saw Lin Qingfeng waiting for her. Seeing her return, Lin Qingfeng anxiously came to greet her.
"Yan Bai, I heard from your mom that you moved to the dormitory? Why so sudden?"
Looking at Lin Qingfeng's anxious face, she said cruelly, "Yes, I think the dormitory is more convenient. There's a bed available, so I'll move in!"
"Yan Bai, how can the dormitory be as convenient as home? Besides, your mother and I are worried about you living in the dormitory. Be obedient and go back home to live."
"Dad, don't think too much. I just think it's more convenient in the dormitory. Besides, Lin Wan and I always quarrel at home, so I thought it might be better to move to the dormitory!" Lin Yanbai made an excuse.
Lin Qingfeng sighed. It seemed that Lin Yanbai was determined to move into the dormitory. He wasn't a fool; he knew exactly why Yanbai had moved out. It was just that... they had their own strengths and weaknesses. He and Liu Mei had truly let this child down.
Lin Qingfeng left dejectedly. Perhaps when they sent Xiao Yanbai to the countryside, they lost their daughter forever, and he was just deceiving himself.
After Lin Yanbai returned to the dormitory, she found that everyone else in the dormitory had already returned. What she didn't expect was that Xu Jiaqi, who was on secondment to the Propaganda Department with her, was also in this dormitory. When she saw Lin Yanbai, she was stunned for a moment, and then rushed over happily.
"Yan Bai, so the new comrade who moved in is you? What a coincidence! This way, we can be together tomorrow morning!"
"Yeah! I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!" Lin Yanbai said as he walked towards his bed.
As soon as she approached her bed, she sensitively sensed that something was wrong. Someone had moved her curtains, and Lin Yanbai's expression turned slightly cold.
She turned to Xu Jiaqi and asked loudly, "Jiaqi, did you see who touched my bed?"
As she spoke, she observed the expressions of the others. Only the girl sitting on the bed by the window showed a trace of guilt on her face when she heard her question.
"Well... Yanbai, I just came back and I'm not sure who touched your bed!" As he said that, Xu Jiaqi winked at Lin Yanbai secretly.
When the two of them went to the bathroom to fetch water, Xu Jiaqi revealed the truth: "Yan Bai, I really didn't see anyone touching your bed, but I guess it was Zheng Xinxin. She loves doing this the most!"
After saying that, he looked around and whispered quietly, "You have to be careful with her. She is notorious for touching other people's things and often uses other people's things carelessly. Anyway, you'd better put your valuables in the cabinet and lock it up."
Lin Yan understood. It seemed that the girl sitting by the window was the Zheng Xinxin that Xu Jiaqi mentioned.
She inexplicably felt that the days ahead in the dormitory would not be too peaceful!
Looks like she needs to save money and buy a house soon! Oh my god, I didn't expect that housing would be her biggest worry in modern times, and it was still the same in the 1970s!
"Xiao Qi, can I draw a house through the system?" Lin Yanbai said with despair.
Xiao Qi: “…”
What Gu Xingfan said turned out to be true. Two days later, Lin Yanbai saw Gu Xingfan in the factory.
She was sorting documents at the time. Xu Jiaqi came over and told her that someone was looking for her outside. She walked out confused, and then saw the young man standing under a tree with his hands in his pockets.
Seeing her come out, Gu Xingfan waved to her. She walked closer and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Maybe I'm here to tell some young comrade that I'm here to work!" Gu Xingfan joked.
Seeing Lin Yanbai speechless, he laughed out loud: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" He raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist and continued: "It's almost time to get off work, let's go to the cafeteria together?"
Lin Yanbai hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! Then wait for me for a moment, I'll go in and tell them!"
As soon as she returned to the office, Xu Jiaqi came up to her and said, "Yan Bai, who was that handsome guy just now? Is he your boyfriend?"
"No, don't talk nonsense, he's my friend!" Lin Yanbai said as he sorted out the documents on his desk. "Oh, by the way! Jiaqi, I won't be having lunch with you today! I have an appointment!"
Xu Jiaqi understood and said, "Oh—that handsome guy outside, right? Don't worry, go ahead and try to take him down!"
Yan Bai said a little depressedly: "We are really friends, and it's just a meal, don't think too much."
Looking at Xu Jiaqi's expression that said "I understand everything", Lin Yanbai held her forehead with her hand. It seemed that she couldn't wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
The fact is, Xu Jiaqi was not the only one who thought so. When Lin Yanbai and Gu Xingfan appeared in the cafeteria and had lunch together, the rumors about them quickly spread throughout the textile factory.
That afternoon, Lin Yanbai felt the power of the masses. No matter where she went, she would be asked about her relationship with Gu Xingfan.
If she refutes, the other party will look at her in disbelief. If she remains silent, the other party will look at her as if it were her expectation.
Lin Yanbai finally understood that no matter what era, people's gossipy nature will not change.
Even Liu Mei heard the rumor, and only left worriedly after Lin Yanbai repeatedly assured her that it was just a rumor.
Why is Liu Mei worried? This has to do with Gu Xingfan's family background. Lin Yanbai finally learned about Gu Xingfan's background from Liu Mei.
Gu Xingfan's maternal family, the Shen family, was a wealthy and powerful family in Yanjing at that time. Not to mention far away, the textile factory where Lin Yanbai is standing now is his mother's family's property.
However, after the movement began, most industries were acquired by the state, including the textile factory. Even so, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Many of the old employees of the textile factory, even Director Zhong, were once capable people of the Shen family.
These people were very grateful for the kindness of the old master Shen at that time, so they were more tolerant towards Gu Xingfan.
