Chapter 22: First Love in Previous Life
"Look, your words are filled with obvious anger." Qin Xiuming was even more certain of his inner thoughts, unquestionable. "If I were truly a stranger, you wouldn't speak to me in such a tone. You are reserved and introverted, with an indomitable spirit in your bones, but when it comes to me, you're deliberately avoiding me."
"Qin Xiuming, you take yourself too seriously." Su Jiaojiao didn't care what Qin Xiuming said at this age. "I just don't want to have too much contact with boys in society. I don't even know you, what am I avoiding? I'm not a guinea pig, you don't need to study me!"
In her previous life, she liked Qin Xiuming, whose words were full of warmth, and the Qin Xiuming who would fold thousands of paper cranes for her with his own hands.
But it’s not the real Qin Xiuming in front of him.
"Su Jiaojiao, you are indeed a very interesting person." Qin Xiuming smiled. His smile was clean and warm, just like in his previous life, but things and people have changed. Su Jiaojiao is no longer the Su Jiaojiao of his previous life. After having seen the sea, other waters are no longer impressive to her. This sunny boy can no longer impress her.
"What are you talking about?" Fan Jianhua came over with a kettle and poured water for the two of them. Qin Xiuming picked up the cup, blew on it, and put it down again. "We're talking about psychology."
"Oh, stop talking about psychology." Fan Jianhua waved his hand and said to Su Jiaojiao with a smile, "Don't be offended, Xiao Su. He has to analyze everyone's psychology when he meets them. He's like a psychopath."
"I'm not crazy." Qin Xiuming knocked on the table and said unconvincedly, "I'm just telling the truth. When I get into university, I'm going to major in psychology."
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Fan Jianhua raised his hands in surrender and brought the fruit plate over. "During the college entrance examination last year, Xiuming happened to be sick and didn't perform well. He didn't want to go to junior college, so he planned to repeat his studies this year. He's in the three-plus-one school next door to you. You can see each other often in the future."
Su Jiaojiao didn't say anything.
In his previous life, Qin Xiuming failed the college entrance examination and went to Jiali Garment Factory to do odd jobs.
She and he met at the Jiali Garment Factory, and because of Qin Shuang, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Later, he repeated a year and was admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Guangzhou. After he entered university, he began to write letters to her, and he wrote for four years.
These four years were a ray of bright sunshine in Su Jiaojiao's gloomy youth. He would buy her all kinds of small gifts and send them to her, and would also suddenly appear behind her during the holidays to give her surprises.
That era was relatively conservative, and the most intimate time between the two was when they were watching a movie and Qin Xiuming held her hand.
She also worked hard and went to night school to attend adult college, just to be a match for Qin Xiuming and be the tree beside him. She never thought about relying on him in the future.
Later, he learned about his own background, traced his ancestors, and accepted the marriage arranged by his family without hesitation. In front of everyone, he completely denied his relationship with her, saying that he treated her as his sister.
Su Jiaojiao was deeply shocked and it took her more than half a year to get over the shadow of the broken heart.
A year later, Qin Xiuming and his fiancée had a falling out and broke up. He then turned around and pursued Su Jiaojiao madly, even standing downstairs of her building for a whole night, which became known to everyone.
Su Jiaojiao was not the kind of person who could be summoned and dismissed at will, so she rejected him firmly.
Even when Qin Shuang came forward to speak for Qin Xiuming and apologize, she remained unmoved.
In order to pursue her, Qin Xiuming would do almost anything, even using the secrets of Jiahe Group to impress her.
Such people are actually very scary. If they can't get it, no one else can get it either.
She was his sister when he had better options.
When he was dumped, she became his first love, the white moonlight, the sweetheart he could never have.
This is how Qin Xiuming learned psychology.
"She probably doesn't want to see me anymore." Qin Xiuming looked at Su Jiaojiao thoughtfully.
Fan Jianhua laughed and said, "Oh, your psychology is terrible. Xiao Su, don't pay attention to him."
In the yard, Xiao Wu and Liu Ying were also having an awkward conversation.
Basically, Liu Ying asked a question and Xiao Wu answered it.
In the end, Liu Ying simply stopped talking. Xiao Wu kept pouring tea for her, and the tea overflowed.
Wang Lei and Qin Shuang were cooking in the kitchen in the yard while observing the two people's movements. Wang Lei saw Qin Xiuming and Su Jiaojiao go into the house and said meaningfully, "Why do I feel that your Xiuming is interested in that little girl? They haven't come out for a long time."
"Don't talk nonsense, they're still in school!" Qin Shuang didn't care. "They're just giving Xiao Wu and your cousin a chance to be alone. Besides, Jianhua is also in the room!"
She has no objection even if her son is in love with Su Jiaojiao.
She had a very good impression of Su Jiaojiao, as if they were familiar with each other at first sight, and she felt as if she had seen her before.
Fan Jianhua had the same feeling as Wang Lei. He always felt that Qin Xiuming and Su Jiaojiao were the ones who seemed to be in love.
While eating, Xiao Wu and Liu Ying didn't say a word.
Qin Xiuming magically picked a large crab for Su Jiaojiao and put it in her bowl. Even he was surprised. How could he be so kind to her...
Su Jiaojiao gave it to Liu Ying intactly; she didn't need him to do anything for her.
Liu Ying was absent-minded and poked the crab with chopsticks, breaking the crab shell into pieces.
Xiao Wu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took the crab, carefully picked out the crab meat, put it into his own bowl, and started eating it with relish.
Liu Ying and Su Jiaojiao looked at each other at the same time and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
So straight?
"Just try it, and hurry up and help peel the crab for the girl." Qin Xiuming saw it and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder. Xiao Wu finally realized what was going on and blushed again, "Okay, I'll peel it."
Feeling Qin Xiuming's gaze, Su Jiaojiao put down her chopsticks, picked up the tea bowl, and drank the water slowly.
Eye-catching bag!
Qin Shuang, Wang Lei, and Fan Jianhua were chatting about their respective work matters and didn't pay attention to the movements of the young people. Qin Shuang told them, "There's a clothing fair next weekend that will last for half a month. If you have time off, go shopping and buy some clothes. It's near Shuangzhu Park and it's very lively."
Su Jiaojiao remembers that clothing fair. All the styles were popular at that time. She and Qin Shuang also went there. Jiali Garment Factory received several large orders at the clothing fair.
Jiali Garment Factory is a family business.
They have a total of four assembly lines, two of which are specifically used to take on orders that Qimei Garment Factory cannot complete, and they are busy all year round.
The clothes made on the remaining two production lines are sold directly in the store.
There is a row of shops in front of the garment factory, which specialize in selling clothes made in the factory.
There are men's clothing stores, women's clothing stores, and children's clothing stores. In her previous life, she worked in the workshop for a year and was then transferred by Qin Shuang to the clothing store at the door as a salesperson.
Later, Qin Shuang had a conflict with the production director, who was also the chairman's daughter-in-law, and resigned and went to the imperial capital.
Three months later, Qin Shuang came back from the imperial capital and brought Su Jiaojiao with him.
After dinner, Su Jiaojiao wanted to go back to school.
Liu Ying couldn't stand it any longer and rushed to see her off.
Qin Xiuming simply pulled Xiao Wu along: "No. 1 Middle School is not too far from here, so we can just stroll over there. It's just the right time for a walk."
The four of them went out, each with their own thoughts.
All the way in silence.
The karaoke bars on the street are still singing with all their might: ... Tenderness doesn't necessarily mean indifference. You know which words are true and which are false, which words are the condensation of love. Lend me a pair of wise eyes, so that I can see this chaos clearly, clearly and truly...
Touching melody, sad lyrics.
When they arrived at the school gate, Su Jiaojiao said goodbye to them and went into the school without looking back.
Qin Xiuming looked at her back, thoughtful.
Strange, why does her back look so familiar...
After sending Su Jiaojiao back to school, Qin Xiuming and Xiao Wu sent Liu Ying to Wang Lei's house, and then they went their separate ways.
As expected, Wang Lei and Fan Jianhua were sitting in the living room waiting for Liu Ying to come back.
Liu Ying knew that the two men meant well, and she felt embarrassed to say that she didn't like Xiao Wu, so she just said she would talk about it later.
"Xiao Wu is a bit honest, but he's kind-hearted and knows how to save money." Fan Jianhua knew his cousin best and patiently explained to Liu Ying, "He's from the next village, so he's from the city anyway, and he's an only child. If you marry him, you'll have a city hukou and a formal job in the future. You should think about it carefully."
"Yes, when looking for a partner, the main thing to look at is character; appearance isn't really that important." Wang Lei knew that Xiao Wu wasn't that good-looking, so she advised her, "You're young now, and you might still be fantasizing about love, but when you really get down to the nitty-gritty of life, even the deepest feelings will wear out. It's better to just live that way from the start. Look at that Qin Xiuming, he's handsome, but he wouldn't be interested in someone like us, right?"
Qin Xiuming and Liu Ying have known each other for a long time.
But neither she nor Qin Shuang had that idea. It seemed inappropriate at first glance!
Liu Ying remained silent and did not sleep all night.
She is only eighteen years old.
Is it possible that she would change her rural household registration to a non-rural one and marry someone she doesn't like just for the sake of the coveted urban household registration?
She was extremely confused.
