Chapter 91 Chu Song Meets a Love Rival
Chu Song looked at Lu Minglin with pity.
Either he has a brain problem or his sense of taste is abnormal. I don't know which one he is.
Lu Minglin realized his forced praise was too obvious, so he abruptly changed the subject, "My mom also likes to try delicious food. If you knew her, you'd definitely have a lot in common."
"oh?"
Lu Minglin nodded seriously. He was right. His mother really liked food from all over the world. If she met Chu Song, she would definitely like her.
Chu Song lifted his chin. "After all this talk, you want to take me to meet your parents?"
Lu Minglin was stunned for a moment, and a suspicious blush quickly appeared on the tips of his ears. He hurriedly picked up a piece of cucumber to hide his discomfort, but ended up tasting a lump of undissolved salt on the tip of his tongue, which was so salty that it tasted bitter.
"I-that's not what I meant."
He regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth, and his hesitant look made him look like a guilty thief.
"Then what do you mean?" Chu Song suddenly leaned closer, his nose almost touching his nose. The ends of his hair on his forehead brushed across Lu Minglin's eyes, making him close his eyes subconsciously.
"Speak, what do you mean?"
Lu Minglin: "Xianxian, I..."
"I understand. So you don't want me to see your mother."
"Of course not!"
"Neither this nor that, Brother Lu, what exactly do you mean?"
Lu Minglin knew Chu Song had asked this on purpose, out of prank, simply to tease him. But he happily accepted it, enjoying being teased by her.
"Xianxian, my mother will definitely like you."
"Of course." He was the only one left in the usually bustling dormitory for educated youth, with the not-too-ignorable Chu Song sitting next to him. Although Lu Minglin didn't have any dirty thoughts, it was still difficult for him to stay calm.
He could smell a strange, faint scent of cold cream that did not belong to the educated youth dormitory, mixed with the bitter aroma of herbs. It almost wove a fine net in this small space, trapping him tightly inside.
Chu Song vaguely felt that the atmosphere was becoming ambiguous. She turned her head and saw Lu Minglin still pretending to be a gentleman, sitting upright at the desk.
You are really good at pretending.
Chu Song deliberately moved his position, moving his knee forward half an inch, and his kneecap hit Lu Minglin's thigh through the fabric.
Lu Minglin couldn't help but straighten his upper body. Chu Song could see his fingers suddenly tighten, but he didn't say anything and didn't give any additional reaction.
"Brother Lu, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Chu Song was definitely not satisfied with his current reaction, and there was a hint of mischievous smile in his voice.
She poked Lu Minglin's cheek. Chu Song was very good at using such ambiguous tricks, which always worked. Brainless men could not resist them at all.
This is how all her predecessors fell victim.
As expected, Lu Minglin immediately turned red from head to toe, and his whole body seemed to be burned.
He felt that patch of skin burning instantly, and then he could clearly hear his own accelerated heartbeat, like a drum held in someone's palm, banging against his ribs.
"No, I didn't think anything."
Chu Song tilted his head to look at his red ears, "Brother Lu, if you really don't have anything to think about in the future, think more about me."
Lu Minglin looked at her in astonishment and failed to catch this straight ball.
"What's with that expression on your face? Can't you?"
Lu Minglin suddenly felt his throat dry, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, "I...actually, I was just thinking about you."
"Then from now on, you can't think of anyone else except me."
The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves outside the window inexplicably overlapped with the rhythm of Chu Song's fingertips tapping lightly on the table, and then turned into the thumping drumbeat of a heartbeat.
Chu Song was quite proactive, "Brother Lu, close your eyes."
Lu Minglin guessed what she was going to do, and his ears turned red again. Although he was extremely shy, he still closed his eyes obediently, silently waiting in his heart.
"Open your mouth."
A bitterly salty piece of cucumber was stuffed into his mouth.
Lu Minglin: “…”
"Brother Lu, what do you think it is? You are not thinking wrongly."
Lu Minglin helplessly watched her use one evil trick after another, her stomach filled with pure black sesame filling.
Chu Song: "Brother Lu, the kind of thing you want, it's not right for a girl like me to take the initiative, right? I would be shy too."
Lu Minglin's mind is in a mess now. He is completely led by Chu Song and he does what he says.
He looked at Chu Song's amused expression and thought to himself that he didn't see any sign of shyness in her. She was clearly excited and eager to try...
Chu Song looked at Lu Minglin with a smile, closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.
Lu Minglin's heart skipped a beat, and then he took two seconds to admit the fact: he was indeed a dirty person.
Lu Minglin plucked up his courage and tentatively leaned close to Chu Song's forehead. Kissing is the most primitive way for humans to express love.
Chu Song didn't know when he opened his eyes, looking at him with a smile, but at the last moment he put his index finger against it and shook his head.
Lu Minglin's heart sank, thinking that she still couldn't accept him.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Chu Song pinched Lu Minglin affectionately, and in his lost eyes, he took the initiative to lean over and kissed him twice.
"Brother Lu, I usually don't take the initiative because I like you too much."
What does it mean to have great mood swings?
This is called ups and downs!
Lu Minglin felt that he had suffered enough stimulation tonight. He was on the verge of being unable to bear it and was at risk of losing control at any time.
"Xianxian."
Lu Minglin only felt that Chu Song could control his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness at any time, and every move of his affected his heart.
Of course, there is a more fashionable way to say this, which is dog training. Chu Song holds the leash in her hand, so naturally everything is under her control.
Lu Minglin spoke gently, "Then we should..."
This is asking for status, which is not a good habit.
Chu Song quickly skipped over this dangerous topic, "Brother Lu, have you ever heard the saying, 'Look at a beauty under a lamp, look at flowers under the moon, the more you look, the more beautiful they become.'"
"Brother Lu, I now declare you the most handsome boy in the Luhua Brigade!"
Lu Minglin knew that she had an eccentric personality and was led astray by her for a while. When he mentioned her beauty, he couldn't help feeling jealous.
"Compared to Liang Jiayao?"
Chu Song shook his head.
Lu Minglin felt a little relieved, but then he heard her continue, "Liang Jiayao doesn't live in Luhua Brigade, so he doesn't count."
Lu Minglin: “…”
He suddenly felt some sympathy for Ye Xiuzhi. Chu Song had his own way of making people angry, but you couldn't say anything.
Chu Song consoled him thoughtfully, "Brother Lu, don't be jealous. No matter how handsome the boys out there are, I'll just look at them. It won't hurt. Wildflowers are beautiful, but what if they're poisonous? Besides, Brother Lu is so handsome, he's no match for anyone!"
Although he didn't know how much truth there was in these words, Lu Minglin did feel better and was completely coaxed into submission.
"Xianxian, when this year is over and Chinese New Year is coming, I'll take you to meet my parents, okay?"
Lu Minglin admitted that he was a little anxious, but everything tonight was more like a dream. He was afraid that he would wake up in the next moment and Chu Song would become the Chu Song who didn't take him seriously at all.
Meeting his parents... Chu Song calculated the time carefully. In a few months, the country will issue a notice announcing the resumption of the college entrance examination. Policies are changing rapidly, and this year's New Year may not be too peaceful.
"Okay." Thinking of this, Chu Song agreed very easily, because she had never thought about the future.
She will definitely take part in the college entrance examination. Not only that, she will also take advantage of this period of time to secretly study and make a splash.
Pretend to be big!
"Really?" Chu Song agreed too quickly, rarely giving him a hard time. Lu Minglin was a little uncomfortable with this and even asked childishly, "Am I dreaming? I imagined everything tonight."
Chu Song pinched him harshly without any hesitation. The soft flesh around his waist was the most painful when it was twisted.
"Does it hurt?"
Lu Minglin groaned, "It hurts."
"It's okay if it hurts. It hurts because it's real."
Lu Minglin stared blankly at Chu Song, and after a while he suddenly laughed to himself, "Xianxian, I really hope time will stay at this moment forever."
"Idiot." Chu Song poked his forehead speechlessly, smiling like a fool, worthless, not even the handsome boy he used to be.
The "idiot" looked at her and could only smile.
Chu Song hadn't had dinner yet, so Lu Minglin finished a whole plate of cucumbers and sweet potatoes mixed with salt. He was very considerate and took out all the snacks in the cabinet to fill Chu Song's stomach.
"My grandma sent this to me some time ago. Take it home. It's delicious whether you add it to rice or stir-fry."
Lu Minglin was holding a bottle of hot sauce, which had not been opened yet. The packaging was very simple, and you could tell at a glance that the chilies were pickled by the old man himself.
Chu Song accepted it without hesitation. Judging from her sharp eyes, the taste of this bottle of hot sauce must be good.
"grandmother?"
"Well, my grandma lived alone in the countryside, not with my parents. When I was a child, she loved me the most."
"You'll definitely like me more in the future. I'm the best at coaxing old people."
Lu Minglin agreed. Not only the elderly, but anyone could be persuaded by her as long as she wanted.
Isn't it yourself?
-
Cen Zimu and the other educated youth did not return until almost eleven o'clock in the evening. They were all very tired, but after hearing about the wild boar pit accident, they all pulled themselves together and came over to express their condolences.
Lu Minglin answered each question gently, looking as cheerful as if he had just experienced something bad, but rather as if he was in high spirits and happy.
Cen Zimu stared at him strangely. Others didn't know, but they had been friends for almost twenty years, and he could tell at a glance that Lu Minglin was not in the right mood. "What happened? Why are you laughing so... uh, so lascivious?"
Lu Minglin was in a good mood and didn't argue with him. "It has nothing to do with you. Go to bed."
Cen Zimu curled his lips secretly. Who couldn't guess it? It was obvious that Chu Song had exerted his strength again. I don't know what kind of sweet treat he gave to make things turn out like this.
"Lu Minglin, Lu Minglin, before, the opposite sex would only affect your sword-drawing speed. Look at you now, even if a little village girl stabbed you twice, would you still praise her swordsmanship?"
"Don't make such meaningless assumptions. She wouldn't stab me twice for no reason."
Cen Zimu curled his lips again. He couldn't stand people showing off their affection like this.
Wait a minute, "So what you're saying is that even if she stabbed you twice, there must have been a reason, and you can't blame her?"
"What else?"
Cen Zimu: "What if I stab you twice?"
Lu Minglin: "Have you thought about how you want to die?"
Cen Zimu: "...Can't I have my own reasons?!"
"Just because you have your reasons doesn't mean I will forgive you."
"Where's that little village girl?!"
Lu Minglin frowned, "Don't call her that, she has a name."
"It's a nickname, don't you understand?" Cen Zimu was the only child in the family. He simply saw Chu Song's interesting personality and treated her like the girl next door. "Besides, didn't she give me a nickname too? She's even worse!"
Lu Minglin now sees everyone as a love rival. Even though he knows that Cen Zimu has a crush on someone he has been secretly in love with for many years, he can't help but feel jealous. He can't help but remind her, "Men should also observe male ethics and keep their distance."
Cen Zimu: "...You haven't answered my question yet!"
"She's different from you."
"What's the difference?"
"Even if she has no hardship, I will forgive her."
Cen Zimu: "..."
He thought it would be better for him to take a shower and go to bed now, otherwise he would be too angry to sleep later.
——
The speed at which gossip spread in the Luhua Brigade was second only to the spread of light and sound. In just one night, almost everyone knew that Chu Song had fallen into the wild boar pit.
It would be embarrassing if this kind of thing were to be spread, but as the only top star in Luhua Brigade, there was no way around it. Chu Song's every move was closely watched, so these days, wherever Chu Song went, he would be paid attention to.
Compared with Chu Song, Lu Minglin, who had an ankle injury, was less talked about.
In Chu Song's words, this is the difference between top streamers and non-top streamers.
"Mrs. Li, I'll go deliver this batch of food first."
"Go ahead, be careful on the road, and don't take shortcuts anymore."
Chu Song: "...Don't worry, this time, my legs will be welded to the road!"
It’s been so many days, and it hasn’t passed yet!
Chu Song sighed helplessly. Fortunately, she had a good attitude and could take jokes. Her sisters-in-law and aunts had no ill intentions and were just joking.
After hearing about the accident, Chu Yaoguo didn't say much, but quietly changed Chu Song's work area. The distance was longer than before, but it was a flat trail and he no longer had to go around in the mountains.
The people who were crying out for food were also replaced by a new group. Before, Lu Minglin was on the mountain, but this time, it was Fang Qingrong.
...As the saying goes, if you have enough fish, you will never be lonely wherever you go.
This time, Chu Song pushed the cart to deliver meals as usual.
The sun was blazing overhead and it was lunchtime, so everyone was hiding in the shade of the trees waiting for lunch.
From a distance, Chu Song saw a young girl surrounding Fang Qingrong. The girl was dressed fashionably and beautifully, and was leaning close to Fang Qingrong, saying something.
Chu Song didn't think much about it. She was not the kind of person who would get jealous.
Fang Qingrong has always been a lonely person. It was rare for her to have a "beauty" by her side, which immediately caused others to talk a lot. They didn't dare to say it in front of Fang Qingrong, but it was inevitable that it would reach Chu Song's ears.
"This kid from the Fang family is really lucky."
"That's right. The girls in the city come to see him every day and even chase him here."
"If it were me, I would have obeyed long ago, hehe."
His companion laughed at him, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you think you are worthy of it?"
"Tsk, what if?"
Chu Song then frowned, feeling a little unhappy. This unhappiness came from the fact that the "toy" that she was quite satisfied with suddenly became dirty, which made her so annoyed that she wanted to throw it away immediately.
If I'm a step late, I'm worried about getting my hands dirty.
Fang Qingrong was also in a terrible mood. He didn't know this person at all. He didn't know when she suddenly became obsessed with him, and her words and actions showed her infatuation with him.
Moreover, no matter how you try to chase him away, he won't leave. He's like a dog-skin plaster and can't be driven away. He won't listen, and he won't attack anyone.
For a moment, Fang Qingrong was really at a loss as to what to do with her.
Seeing Chu Song coming, Fang Qingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and said expressionlessly, "I want to eat now. I don't want to hear you say any more. Stay away from me. Stay away from me from now on."
Young girl: “…”
I have never seen such an unromantic person, she secretly complained in her heart.
If money is hard to earn, then what is hard to eat!
