As soon as Liu Yun arrived at the state-run restaurant, she saw Yu Qianhe standing by the wall, who stood out in the crowd.
Upon seeing Liu Yun, Yu Qian felt a sudden light up, as if he could hear his own heartbeat, and his breathing quickened.
"Comrade Liu, let's go. We have braised fish today."
"OK."
"Comrade, one serving of braised fish, steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, loofah and egg soup, and three bowls of rice."
"Wait, we don't need this much, we can't finish it. Take two away, or I'm leaving."
"Okay, do you eat spicy food?"
"eat."
"Comrade, let's remove the steamed pork with rice flour, that's just three dishes. We can't keep making excuses!"
"It's six yuan plus five liang of grain coupons in total."
"OK."
The cooking was done very quickly, in just over ten minutes. Yu Qian was very observant and didn't need Liu Yun to lift a finger.
"Come and try it. The fish cooked by the chef here is superb, with no fishy smell at all."
"Okay, you can eat too, don't worry about me."
Halfway through my meal, a familiar voice rang in my ear, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Yu, you're eating here too? What a coincidence! Are you two on a date?"
"No, no, we just have something to take care of." Liu Yun quickly waved her hand, appearing flustered on the surface, but inwardly she was all smiles. Yu Qianhe also knew Luo Huaying, and he didn't refute her, nor did he show any annoyance on his face; instead, he wore a smile.
Yu Qianhe only said "Hello, Aunt Luo" and then stopped talking. Luo Huaying understood and smiled, "You guys continue eating, I'm going to get some more food."
Looking at the flustered girl in front of him, who was covering her face with one hand and her cheeks flushed, Yu Qian felt a surge of warmth in his heart. "Do you know Aunt Luo?"
"My colleague, we work in the same office."
Yu Qianhe nodded, noticing the girl's discomfort, and didn't ask any further questions. Aunt Luo's words just now probably meant that she didn't have a boyfriend yet!
Do you have any plans for this afternoon?
"No, what's wrong?"
"Would I have the honor of inviting you to a movie?"
"Ah! Sure." Her face was full of shyness, but inside she was thinking, 'No way! No way! How could this be true? Are all the things online real? Are people who get a Pisces' eye on someone usually jerks? God! Help!'
Arriving at the cinema, I saw a film that perfectly captures the spirit of our times: "Little Soldier Zhang Ga." I've seen this movie countless times since I was a child, but I've never seen this version before, and it's quite interesting.
Yu Qianhe, on the other hand, didn't pay any attention to what the movie was about. His mind was entirely focused on the person next to him. In the darkness, his senses of smell, hearing, and perception were amplified, and he could clearly feel his heartbeat getting louder and louder.
Liu Yun observed Yu Qianhe's reactions, as if she didn't need to lift a finger; the prey had already fallen into her trap.
As they walked out of the movie theater, Liu Yun took the initiative, saying, "Alright, we've eaten and seen the movie, we're even. You don't need to feel guilty anymore. I'm leaving now!"
Yu Qian was stunned by these words as soon as he came out, and before he could react, his crush was about to leave.
In that instant, his hand moved faster than his brain, and he grabbed Liu Yun's hand.
Once they realized what they had done, they quickly let go.
"Comrade Yu, is there anything else?"
"No, I just wanted to ask, Comrade Liu, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Ah! No."
"What do you think of me? I graduated from Peking University with a degree in physics. I'm 24 years old this year and currently work as a technician in a machine factory. My salary is 88 yuan a month, but it will definitely increase in the future. My three older brothers are all married and have jobs, and my parents also have jobs. I can apply for housing, and I'm sure I can get one. What do you think of me?"
"Ah! We've only met twice, and today is the third time. Is it that fast?"
"You can think about it; there's no need to give me an answer right now. Are you going home? I'll take you to the station!"
"Whoosh! Done!" Liu Yun skipped home in a great mood. You know, if she met a guy like this in the 21st century, Liu Yun would definitely not have the guts to flirt with him. The reason is that she is insecure and can only follow celebrities or idolize anime characters online.
People really shouldn't be too cocky, or they'll suffer the consequences. After dinner, Liu's mother's gaze fell on her obviously dressed-up little girl.
“Your Aunt Cai said she wants to introduce you to someone. I’ve already inquired about the guy. He works at the grain station and his family is well-off. Do you want to meet him?”
Liu Yun froze upon hearing this. "Mom, forget it, I'm not going."
"What's going on with your boyfriend? What's his family situation?" The Liu family members all looked over when they heard this.
"There's no such thing as a partner."
"You're all dressed up so beautifully today, what are you going to do if not on a date?" Only then did the Liu family notice that Liu Yun looked exceptionally beautiful today.
"It's still far from certain, I'll tell you when it's actually done."
"What does that man do? He needs to be told that clearly."
"I work for a government agency, and I have family members in the military or as police officers. Don't worry, I won't be fooled."
Hearing this, Liu's mother was relieved. She was afraid her youngest daughter would marry a speculator, especially a leader of such a group, which would infuriate her. Why did she have to get involved in speculation herself? Ever since her daughter started working, she's changed. The only thing that hasn't changed is her lack of presence; she's practically invisible now, except when eating or sleeping.
Meanwhile, in the family compound of the municipal police station, Yu Qianhe was being interrogated by his mother. Zheng Mulan, Yu's mother, was stunned when she received Luo Yinghua's congratulations. She thought her youngest son was going to remain a bachelor. When Luo Yinghua came back and told her to wait for wedding candy, she was completely dumbfounded.
