Chapter 7 Flirt with Him
If she could pass his test, their engagement would continue.
When he first received her letter, he was deeply impressed by the way she argued for herself in the letter.
Although he had never met her, Shen Jichuan had some impression of his fiancée.
Now that we've met, this impression has become concrete.
I have to admit that she is a beautiful woman with ideas and connotation.
A very attractive woman.
But as soon as she arrived at the hotel front desk, Xia Keqing was stopped.
Xia Keqing looked a little embarrassed.
She forgot the special nature of this era.
Men and women entering the hotel together need to provide a marriage certificate. The Red Star Hotel is a state-owned hotel and men and women are not allowed to stay together without a marriage certificate.
"Can't I just go in and take a look?"
She argued her case.
Looking back, Shen Jichuan's ears turned red.
Xia Keqing found it very interesting. "This comrade, he is my fiancé. As his fiancée, I just want to see what the hotel where my boyfriend lives looks like."
The middle-aged woman working at the hotel reception laughed when she heard this.
"Girl, he is your fiancé, right?"
Xia Keqing nodded, "Yes."
The middle-aged woman looked at Shen Jichuan in his neat military uniform with envy, "The little girl really has good taste."
Xia Keqing felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
"Can I come in then?"
The middle-aged woman refused to budge. "No, we have rules for this. Please don't embarrass me."
Shen Jichuan coughed dryly and said uncomfortably: “Let’s go, I’ll bring you here next time.”
Xia Keqing was stunned for a moment, and Shen Jichuan had already walked out with his long legs.
But he walked very slowly, obviously waiting for Xia Keqing to catch up.
Xia Keqing hurriedly followed.
She took his arm and grasped his with her slender white fingers.
Shen Jichuan froze even more.
In fact, the original owner's hands were not delicate.
She is the eldest in the family. When she was young, she helped her parents with work and took care of her younger brothers and sisters.
Although her family was poor, her parents loved their three children.
After going to college, the original owner had her fiancé Shen Jichuan to support her, so she didn't have to do farm work and had money to buy facial cream for frostbite, so her fingers became much more delicate and tender.
But compared to a man like Shen Jichuan who had been training in the military camp since childhood, the girl's fingers were incredibly delicate.
He had never been so close to a girl before.
Of course, in Shen Jichuan's view, Xia Keqing is not an outsider.
They were engaged and she was his match.
Shen Jichuan has already accepted his future wife as his own.
But such behavior is somewhat too intimate.
But Shen Jichuan was reluctant to let go of her hand, so he had to continue holding it stiffly. Fortunately, he gradually got used to it.
Since they couldn't go to the hotel, Xia Keqing couldn't possibly take Shen Jichuan to her dormitory.
The dormitory she lives in now is a four-person room. Besides her, there are three other girls.
What’s more, she still had something to say to Shen Jichuan, and if she went to the dormitory, her roommate would be embarrassed, so she simply went to the square park.
The park facilities of this era were not as complete as those in later generations, but there were also stone tables and stone benches. Shen Jichuan walked into the park holding Xia Keqing's hand. The two looked like a couple in love in later generations.
Xia Keqing was thick-skinned. Anyway, Shen Jichuan's appearance completely met her aesthetic standards. As the "original wife" of his fiancée, it was reasonable and not against morality.
She just wanted to stick to this man.
If he wasn't afraid of scaring him, he would have wanted to just provoke him and start a big move.
In fact, Xia Keqing felt that he was very restrained, but in Shen Jichuan's opinion, he was quite teased.
He almost forgot the test he had set for his young fiancée.
Shen Jichuan is a very principled man.
He let go of Xia Keqing, and under the latter's surprised gaze, he curled his lips and said, "I'll go buy some sugar-roasted chestnuts."
There were not many pedestrians on the streets in the 1980s, and the occasional passerby was a bicycle, but there were very few cars.
Even if there is, it is the boxy Santana type.
Square Park is the largest park in the provincial capital and is a bit more lively than other places.
They sell sugar-roasted chestnuts, and you can smell the sweet aroma from far away.
There are also people selling cotton candy and candied haws.
There were also some stalls where Xia Keqing had no idea what was being sold.
But you can still see the sign if you get closer.
It’s similar to selling snacks on the street in later generations.
Xia Keqing immediately became greedy, and she smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Brother Shen, then buy more, I like sugar-roasted chestnuts the most."
Shen Jichuan was stunned, "Okay."
Because she said she liked it, Shen Jichuan bought a whole bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Xia Keqing was not polite to him at all.
No girl can resist this sweet and delicious little sweetheart.
She is very experienced in peeling chestnuts.
First, use your fingernails to gently pinch a mark on the thin-skinned chestnut, then pinch it with two fingers. With a crisp "click" sound, the yellow chestnut kernel will fall off completely.
Freshly roasted chestnuts are easiest to shell.
Xia Keqing took advantage of Shen Jichuan not noticing and stuffed one directly into his mouth.
The girl's fair and delicate fingers brushed across the man's warm lips, and Shen Jichuan was stunned.
"you……"
Shen Jichuan's eyes deepened a little. At this moment, he didn't know that the little girl actually did it on purpose.
If you don't flirt with this kind of top-notch man, will you let him take advantage of others?
He gritted his teeth and said, "I have something to ask you."
Xia Keqing was eating sugar-roasted chestnuts, raising her fair face with clear and innocent eyes. Most importantly, she had a roasted chestnut stuffed in her mouth, which was bulging and made her look like a simple little deer.
Shen Jichuan had been to the battlefield, and he had a tough temperament brought from the battlefield, which was completely different from ordinary people.
When he was serious, the look in his eyes went straight into the depths of people's souls, making it impossible for people to lie in front of him.
Xia Keqing also realized what he wanted to ask.
She calmed down and said softly, "Just ask if you have anything to say."
Shen Jichuan asked his doubts again.
"I believe you are a good girl, but I have this doubt in my mind."
"I need a reasonable explanation."
Xia Keqing took a deep breath.
I thought to myself that it had indeed arrived.
She still has to clean up the mess left by the original owner.
So men are rational most of the time, and you can't fool them by acting coquettishly or cutely.
If you can fool people, it means they are willing to be fooled by you and are willing to pretend to be confused.
But it is obvious that Shen Jichuan is the kind of real man who can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
He has his own pride, or you could say he has the most common machismo among men of this era.
He hopes that his wife has a clean heart, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Xia Keqing is fearless. The one who is not clear-headed is the original owner. What does it have to do with her, Xia Keqing?
She looked at Shen Jichuan frankly, "Brother Shen, I'm already engaged to you, and it's absolutely impossible for me to have feelings beyond friendship with other opposite sex."
"I hope you can rest assured of that."
Xia Keqing was silent for a moment.
"But he and I do have a lot of common interests, so it's inevitable that we appreciate each other and are close friends."
After saying this, she laughed at herself, "But I'm probably the only one who thinks so."
"I only now understand that perhaps he had bad intentions from the beginning and wanted to kidnap me."
Xia Keqing put all the blame on the scumbag without any psychological burden.
