Chapter 40: Pick up someone at the station

"Where are you going? You are dressed so formally."

"In the city."

Xu Muzhou's vacation should be over. Is he coming back today?

Xiao Huaishu saw through it but didn't say anything, "Can you ride a bicycle in a skirt?"

Xiao Qingru gave 놛 a sharp look and said, "What do you care?"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for meddling in your business. I was originally planning to drive you there."

"I just love riding a bicycle. I don't need you to send me there."

Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

It looks like good things are coming.

After learning about Xu Muzhou's family situation, Xiao's father put aside his last concerns.

The Xu family was a simple family, but the two young people stayed in the northwest after they got married, so there was no need to worry about the daughter being bullied in other people's homes.

As for other things, there is no point in thinking too much, just let it go.

After breakfast, Xiao Qingru went out on her bicycle.

Du Wanqiu was also going to the city. On the way, the chain of her bicycle fell off. She was anxious and saw Xiao Qingru.

He waved shyly, "Xiao Zhi, you are going to the city too."

"Hey, wait a minute."

"My bicycle is broken. Can you help me take it to the city? I'll give you money."

Xiao Qingru ignored her words and walked past Du Wanqiu without looking back once.

He didn't leave a single word.

Du Wanqiu could only try to fix the car himself, but he still couldn't solve the problem despite working hard and sweating a lot.

The distances are far both to the city and back home.

The bicycle is too heavy to be carried, but it cannot be thrown on the roadside as scrap metal. What should I do?

He kicked the bicycle hard and cursed Xiao Qingru, who did not help him.

Didn't Jiang Chuan say that she was kind-hearted? He should really let her see Xiao Qingru's current face.

It would have been fine if he didn't help, but he actually ignored her, with his eyes on the top of his head, and had no manners at all.

She is dressed like a fairy, and I don’t know what she is doing!

I scolded him but it didn't change the situation. I could only push my bike back in misery.

It would be great if I could meet a car going back to my family home on the way, and I could even give it a ride.

Xu Muzhou is the arrival station of China.

As soon as I came out, I saw the girl I had been thinking about. She was standing there pretty and waved at me when she saw me.

Xiao Qingru is a dancer. She is tall, has a good temperament, and is beautiful. It is hard not to notice her at first sight.

Xu Muzhou's heart felt as if someone had forced a handful of candy into it, so sweet that it made him dizzy and he even walked unsteadily.

Qingru really came to pick me up.

He stared at Xiao Qingru for several seconds until her face turned slightly red, and then Xu Muzhou came to his senses.

"For you."

A box of chocolates with body temperature was stuffed into Xiao Qingru's arms. She was stunned at first, and then she cursed him as a fool in her heart.

The chocolate must have melted!

"I don't know what you girls like, so I just bought this."

Xiao Qingru was not ignorant of goods. This kind of foreign stuff could not be bought anywhere else except the Friendship Store.

It was not easy to get the overseas Chinese remittance vouchers, and Xu Muzhou put a lot of effort into it.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

"I'm glad you like it. I'll buy you a new one after you finish this one."

"If you eat too much of this, you'll get fat. Don't worry about losing your job."

Xu Muzhou didn't think too much about it. "Then I'll buy you something else next time."

"Um."

Xiao Qingru once said that she would not spend money before the relationship was confirmed.

But this time she nodded without saying anything in rebuttal.

Xu Muzhou's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He took Xiao Qingru to a crowded place and asked solemnly: "Xiao Zhi, are you willing to talk to me about your partner?"

Xiao Qingru imagined the scene of accepting Xu Muzhou's confession, but she didn't expect the location to be in a noisy train station.

"Can't we talk about it somewhere else?"

"Sorry, I can't wait."
