Chapter 168 Sex makes the mind faint
"If she gets snatched away by someone from another company, or marries into a family that's after her job, you'll have nowhere to cry then!"
Miao Shoujun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Comrade Lu, can you accept living apart from your spouse?"
"Sure, why not! It's only a ten-hour drive, you can just sleep it off!"
"No need for Comrade Xiao Qiao to run errands. Lu is a grown man; what's a little tiredness?"
Let's lure them in first!
Miao Shoujun didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it. He found Qiao Manman and told her about it.
Qiao Manman's smile almost split open as she thought to herself, "What on earth is going on?"
If she had known she would run into Lu Yuan in the provincial capital, she wouldn't have told her colleagues that she had a boyfriend.
What does this mean? "Eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot?" Qiao Manman laughed at her own thoughts!
"So, you've agreed?"
The other party was Lu Yuan, and it seemed she couldn't disagree.
He nodded: "Yes, but I don't know what Engineer Lu means!"
"He agreed. He asked the factory manager to mediate. Since you're interested, I'll go ask when the meeting can be arranged. We..."
Miao Shoujun looked Qiao Manman up and down and found that the girl was really pretty. She stood there slenderly, like a little poplar tree.
With her curved eyebrows and red lips, he was lucky to have no son; otherwise, he would definitely have taken the girl back as his daughter-in-law.
"Dress up nicely and seduce that guy surnamed Lu!"
Qiao Manman couldn't help but laugh, laughing so hard she was shaking uncontrollably.
He nodded and saw Miao Shoujun off.
Back in the dorm, he was besieged by his roommates: "Comrade Xiao Qiao, what did your boss say? We could hear you laughing from upstairs!"
Qiao Manman replied dismissively, "My boss said I performed well and is planning to give me a promotion and a raise when I get back."
My roommates, so innocent, looked on with envy.
Seeing that Qiao Manman didn't want to talk to them, they huddled together and started talking about the young people in the factory.
Qiao Manman didn't recognize any of them and was taking a nap in bed. Someone with malicious intent saw that she was asleep and deliberately raised their voice.
Qiao Manman didn't mind and focused her consciousness into the space. She wandered through the dense forest, occasionally interacting with the sika deer.
As night deepened, she emerged from the woods. She opened her eyes in the pitch-black dormitory and amplified the surrounding sounds using the system.
I was hoping to find Lu Yuan, but instead I heard a beeping sound.
Qiao Manman's expression tightened, and she asked the system to help her record the rhythm of the transmitter.
After the man finished fiddling with it and let out a long sigh, he recorded the man's voice into the system, planning to wander around the next day to see if he could find this spy.
Half an hour later, Qiao Manman found Lu Yuan, but he had already fallen asleep.
Her lips curved upwards, and she too drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Qiao Manman deliberately went to the cafeteria during the busiest time for lunch. She wandered around the cafeteria several times with her tray, but couldn't find a seat.
Ultimately, having no other choice, he sat down opposite Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan knew that Qiao Manman hated being squeezed with people, but today, she was clearly acting strangely.
However, instead of asking directly, he nodded gently and buried himself in his food.
Time flew by, and on the day of the reunion, Qiao Manman changed into her dark green woolen coat after get off work and headed to the state-run restaurant.
Lu Yuan was already waiting here, wearing a black overcoat with a black sweater underneath.
He raised his hand and gently pushed up his glasses, making him appear refined and dignified.
Many young women in the state-run restaurant had their hearts pounding and went up to ask, "Comrade, may I sit across from you?"
"Sorry, comrade, I'm waiting for my blind date!" Lu Yuan's words broke the hearts of many female comrades.
Someone tried to persuade her: "How about me? My name is Shi Xiulan, I'm 21 years old, and I work for the provincial government..."
Lu Yuan remained unmoved, said "sorry," and turned his gaze toward the door.
I don't know how long I looked, but I finally saw Qiao Manman's figure.
Lu Yuan stood up: "Comrade Qiao, I'm here!"
Qiao Manman approached with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Lu. I'm sorry I'm late!"
"It's not late, Comrade Qiao, what would you like to eat?"
Qiao Manman glanced at the small blackboard next to the counter and said, "Braised pork, crispy shrimp, cabbage stew with vermicelli, and two bowls of rice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, people around him gasped.
"Lady, you haven't even had a successful blind date yet, how dare you order so many dishes? That's incredibly wasteful!"
The most important thing for us women is to be thrifty and manage the household well!
Shi Xiulan angrily accused him.
Qiao Manman looked at Lu Yuan in confusion, only to see him get up, walk to the counter, repeat what Qiao Manman had ordered, and then add two braised lion's head meatballs.
You have to understand, back then, the average salary was twenty or thirty yuan, and Qiao Manman's order alone cost more than three yuan, plus she needed food coupons.
Anyone else would have overturned the table and left long ago. But Lu Yuan not only wasn't angry, he also indulged her, making Shi Xiulan think that he was blinded by lust.
Her goodwill vanished completely. She glared at the two of them, snorted coldly, and left.
Qiao Manman couldn't help but laugh. Lu Yuan reached out and put a piece of braised pork on her plate: "Eat up!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and inquired about what had happened during this time in the tone of a stranger.
Lu Yuan said everything he could say, but didn't mention anything he couldn't say.
He would occasionally serve food to Qiao Manman, and the two had a harmonious atmosphere, unlike when they first met.
Qiao Manman chatted casually about Yang County and Qingshan Brigade, telling him that she was going to have a younger brother or sister.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Really? That's great news!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "I think so too!"
Those around him, listening intently, thought Lu Yuan had lost his mind.
Instead of finding a wife with a small family burden, he picked someone who has to help her younger siblings. Oh dear, he's not thinking straight.
As if sensing the malice of the onlookers, Qiao Manman deliberately asked, "Comrade Lu, would you mind if I gave my salary back to my parents' home after marriage?"
Lu Yuan could tell at a glance that she was doing it on purpose, and shook his head with a smile: "I don't mind. If my parents-in-law don't have enough to spend, I can take five yuan back home every month to support them."
The people around were in an uproar when they heard this.
She thought to herself, "What an unfortunate bunch! Why didn't they get to marry such a fool?"
Qiao Manman smiled and gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
She picked up two shrimp for Lu Yuan, but he said, "You eat first, I'll take care of the rest."
Wow, where did this wonderful man come from?
Qiao Manman happily ate two shrimp, seven or eight pieces of braised pork, some cabbage, and half a bowl of rice, and was full.
She looked at Lu Yuan pitifully, only to see him take Qiao Manman's bowl without even asking a question, scoop the rice into his own bowl, and eat it without any disgust.
The same goes for braised pork and stewed cabbage with glass noodles; they ate them in big mouthfuls, completely losing their initial refinement.
Qiao Manman reminded, "Don't force yourself. We can take the leftovers home."
Lu Yuan replied, "Don't worry, I can finish it!"
So Qiao Manman sat and watched him eat. Lu Yuan ate quickly, but without being rude.
When only some soup remained on the table, Qiao Manman got up and walked out of the state-run restaurant with Lu Yuan.
