Qiu Yuling judged from the man's posture and behavior that he should be a soldier. Qiao Yue asked a few simple questions and the man roughly explained his background.
"Comrade Qiao, please trust us. Mr. Li needs some translation work done. We'll help you out. We'll coordinate with your company."
The man waited confidently, and Qiao Yue didn't disappoint him. After asking for details, he stood up and said, "Xiao Qiu, I'll be over there for a while. I don't know how long it will take. If I'm not back by the station, please help me carry my luggage."
Qiu Yuling nodded, "Sure, Sister Xiao Qiao."
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women, their backs are pleasing to the eye, but Qiu Yuling is not envious at all.
The train announced that there was only one stop left before arriving in Beijing. Qiao Yue showed no sign of returning, so Qiu Yuling packed all her bags and waited for the train to arrive.
Unexpectedly, just as she had taken both of their luggage to their feet, the man who had gone with Qiao Yue earlier came back.
"Hello, comrade. Which is Comrade Qiao's bag? I've been asked to carry it. She's going to meet an important person with us first, and then go to your unit."
Qiu Yuling didn't get out of bed, just dangling her legs and pointing at another army green handbag. "That one belongs to Xiao Qiao. It's only a few minutes away by car. Please ask her to come by herself."
The man didn't comment, just nodded, picked up his bag and left. Qiu Yuling didn't insist on asking them to send the person back. She was not a local here, but she had to say what needed to be said to avoid being blamed later.
"Dear passengers, please note that the train has arrived at the station..." Qiu Yuling was worried, so she moved to the carriage where the leaders were and gave a brief report on the matter.
"I'm sorry to have worried Xiao Qiu. It's okay. Mr. Li sent someone to tell us, and there are also comrades from the train crew to testify. But it's better to be cautious..." The good baby who did nothing got praised again.
When they arrived at the designated guesthouse, Ji Shulan and Zheng Xiuli both had their own things to do, and there were a few male leaders left. It was not convenient for Qiu Yuling to keep them company, so she was left alone.
Before leaving, Zheng Xiuli couldn't help but worry, "Xiao Qiu, how about you wait for me to come back and then we can go out together?"
Qiu Yuling sent the two female leaders to the door and said, "Just focus on your own things and meet your friends. Don't worry about me. I'm already an adult, how can I get lost?
I've never been here before, so I'm just wandering around outside and will be back when it gets dark."
Although Zheng Xiuli was still worried, she had to be loyal to the person who entrusted her with the task. She reminded Ji Shulan again and again before leaving the house with her.
Ji Shulan asked casually, "Who is Xiao Qiu to you?"
Zheng Xiuli rolled her eyes at the sky. "Who am I? I'm Old Xie's apprentice, our old classmate's apprentice. I thought you knew that from your enthusiasm these past few days?"
"Ah? You didn't tell me, how would I know? Old Xie has been in contact with you since he was transferred to the branch, but he didn't tell me, so how would I know?
...You all have supporters, but I'm the only one doing this alone, and yet you all look down on me. Do I have it easy or did I do something wrong? " Ji Shulan also vented her anger. If they had told her earlier, she wouldn't have bothered to use those rules and regulations to stop her.
"Old Ji, you were the one who was supposed to go to the police station. Old Xie, understanding how difficult it was for you, took the initiative to switch places with you..."
The sounds of the two people's argument gradually faded away, and Qiu Yuling came out from the corner. She really didn't mean to eavesdrop. Who would have thought that the two of them would come around behind them and mention her in their conversation. It was inconvenient for her to go out, so she had to hide and ask them to go away.
However, I also found out that Zheng Xiuli, Ji Shulan, Xie Chunrong and Sun Tianxia were all old acquaintances.
"Hey, what are you doing? Sneaking around."
The sudden sound behind her scared Qiu Yuling so much that her soul fled away and she screamed, "Ah~".
The man hurriedly shouted, "I'm sorry, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me, Li Hongjun."
Only then did Qiu Yuling's heartbeat return to normal. "It's you. Why are you walking without making any sound?" What's wrong with this guy? He has been irritable since he was a child.
"I made a sound. You were so engrossed in what you were looking at that I called you twice. By the way, what were you looking at?"
Qiu Yuling stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me."
Li Hongjun played dumb, "What?"
"Lend me the money. It's just a coincidence. Once you pay me back, you won't have to worry about it anymore."
Li Hongjun touched his head and said, "Oh, I was in such a hurry to leave that I didn't bring any money. Where are you staying? I'll bring it to you later."
Qiu Yuling was so speechless that she felt like she was going through two rounds of rage. If she couldn't tell that he was pretending, she would have lived in vain.
She didn't bother to talk too much and just walked around the man and left.
"Where are you going? I know this place very well. Can I show you the way?"
Qiu Yuling simply stood still and said, "I'm only fifteen this year. You know that I have three older brothers, and my parents raised them to be very promising. It's not an ordinary woman to find a wife for them.
The betrothal gifts are incredibly high, not to mention that I have to send my salary back home. As for my future in-laws, what kind of in-laws they will be, that was all planned by my mother."
Li Hongjun is four years older than Qiu Yuling and has seen girls before, but most girls are hesitant when talking about finding a husband or their own family that has lost status. He has never seen anyone speak so directly.
I was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
Qiu Yuling thought he had heard it, so she didn't stop, walked around the crowd, caught the bus that was going the same way, and sped away.
By the time Li Hongjun reacted, the person had disappeared.
The friend who had been standing by the roadside came up and grabbed his neck, "Brother Jun, is that the girl? She looks like a little girl, she doesn't know anything."
Li Hongjun elbowed the man away and said, "What do you know?" It hadn't even started yet, but it ended inexplicably. He hadn't even said what he felt, but people saw through it. And he still didn't understand?
"Let's go, let's go to the movies. There's The Red Detachment of Women showing today..."
A group of cyclists came rushing over from behind, whistling as they passed by.
"Hey, these bastards, I'm going to catch up with them, Junzi, walk away, don't make any noise..."
Before Li Hongjun had time to savor the specific feeling, he called his companions who came out with him and forced them to get on the bicycle.
Qiu Yuling was in such a hurry that she didn't even look at which bus it was or where it led to. After walking five or six stops, she felt that it was enough and it would be deserted if she walked any further, so she got off with the other passengers.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw a group of mischievous cyclists. She nimbly dodged them, but was met with a jeer from below. She made a quick decision and went back up through the back door. She decided to wait until she was on the road and it was safe before getting off the car.
