Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1108: Agreement Reached

First update is here.

--------------------------

"Do you think I’d joke about this kind of thing with you?" Yun Doudou rolled her eyes at Luo Xiaoqiong in annoyance. "Being able to become friends means our tastes have similarities. Is it really surprising that we’ve both taken a liking to the same person?"

Luo Xiaoqiong returned a roll of her eyes: "Come on, every time I think someone’s not bad, you always joke about my poor taste. Up till now, Qi Jie is the only one we’ve both agreed on."

Chuxia’s eyes also lit up: "If you both think he’s nice then he must be right. By the way, have I met him? What did he do before coming to school?"

After thinking, Luo Xiaoqiong said: "You probably haven’t met him. We usually visit you, and the few times you’ve been out, where would you have had the chance to meet others? Qi Jie used to work at the People’s Hospital, Sister Yuan Hui should know him pretty well. If necessary, why not go back and ask Sister Yuan Hui?"

"Alright, it’s prudent to ask about it first."

Liu Meijun felt a bit overwhelmed—was what they were talking about really related to her? The problem was, as the person involved, she hadn’t said a word yet and they already had everything decided?

"Meijun, what do you think?" Chuxia’s inquiry startled her, followed by a wry smile, "How should I answer when you ask me like this? I don’t know the slightest bit about the person you’re discussing, and besides, those who go to study are all the elite of each department. Would they even be interested in me?"

"Let’s not focus on if he’d fancy you for now. The current issue is your opinion; if you agree, I’ll ask Sister Yuan Hui to help look into it. If he seems suitable, we’ll ask Sister Yuan Hui to probe Qi Jie’s thoughts.

At the very least, we need to know if he has a girlfriend, even if he doesn’t have one now, we should ask if he had before. If he did, why did they break up, and are they still in touch?

This is especially important; the most annoying situation is when things should have been over, yet there is still lingering contact, meeting up occasionally to chat, it’s utterly bothersome..."

Luo Xiaoqiong interrupted Chuxia with a laugh: "Are you thinking about Ye Meiru?"

"Yes." Chuxia admitted frankly, "Although Zhou Mikang never had the slightest longing for her, nor has he ever provoked her, he can’t stop her from constantly bothering me. She keeps making trouble, never getting tired; it annoys me to death. If she really succeeded once, I guess I’d lose more than half my life. Jealous ex-girlfriends can be truly terrifying creatures!"

"Hearing you say this, I think it is a big deal too..." Luo Xiaoqiong said while patting her chest, "So it seems like I’m really lucky, both of you have encountered this situation, but not me."

Yun Doudou chuckled and teased her: "Does Zhong Hongying not count?"

"She doesn’t really count, but..." Luo Xiaoqiong sighed, "Even not counting her, it’s already annoying enough. I heard she’s out now, but I don’t know where or what she’s doing.

Looks like I’ll have to be more cautious when going out in the future? What if she bears a grudge against me, and now plans to take revenge, wouldn’t that be troublesome?"

"According to what you’re saying, the person who should really be afraid is not you, but Liu Zhenqiang. Without Liu Zhenqiang, she wouldn’t end up like this. Yet, for people like her, you can’t judge them by common sense, so being careful is always better. You definitely shouldn’t go out alone anymore..." Chuxia pondered a bit more and added, "It’s also fortunate that you live in Capital City now, so she probably can’t find you."

"But what about in the future, I won’t always live in Capital City, no way..." Luo Xiaoqiong grabbed Chuxia’s arm pleadingly, "You have to help me find out where she is, know yourself and know your enemy, and you’ll get through a hundred battles unfazed, otherwise, I’ll feel too unsettled."

"Alright, I’ll get someone to help you find her." Chuxia agreed, the people under Zhou Mikang’s employ are skilled in this area, locating Zhong Hongying should not be difficult for them.

"Okay, okay, we were talking about Meijun, but ended up on me..." Luo Xiaoqiong turned to Liu Meijun, "Meijun, if you have any questions, now is the time to ask. We’ll need to research thoroughly before deciding whether to meet."

"I don’t know what to ask." Liu Meijun laughed awkwardly, "The proposal isn’t even off the ground yet, to start asking here and there sounds ludicrous. In any case, I’m not young anymore, and to put my parents at ease, I really shouldn’t stay single all the time. So, I’ll leave it up to you all to check him out.

If he seems suitable, I’ll follow your guidance, but before any meeting, it’s best to find out whether he minds taking on the future responsibility of supporting my parents.

I’m an only child, so if he can’t accept that, there’s no need for us to meet. Of course, this decision shouldn’t be made solely by him; it’s best if he discusses it with his family. That’s my only requirement, as long as his character is good and our personalities match, everything else is fine."

"Alright, it’s indeed something to ask about." Chuxia agreed. In the future, a woman supporting her parents would become a somewhat common thing, yet many families might still be hesitant about it, especially in current times, so clarifying this is definitely necessary.

Since she’s closest with Yuan Hui, she’s suited to inquire about this matter. Regarding a matchmaker, Yuan Hui should take on the role, although Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou are classmates with Qi Jie, they’ve met him just a few times, so it’s rather abrupt for them to introduce a girlfriend.

"I’m constantly troubling you..." Liu Meijun apologetically smiled at them, "and I can’t help with anything. Being friends with me is your biggest misfortune."

"What are you talking about?" Luo Xiaoqiong gave her an annoyed look, "I really hate when you’re so polite like this. If friendship had to be treated like this, then I’m definitely done. If it weren’t for Chuxia, could I be where I am today? If I were to constantly bring it up, do you think Chuxia would still want to associate with me?"

"Isn’t that different?" Liu Meijun sighed, "You two have been friends since childhood and mutually helped each other out, naturally feeling more at ease. But for me, ever since I met you, I’ve basically been a burden. Every time I have trouble, it’s you who come to my rescue. Even if I have thick skin, there are moments when I can’t take it anymore..."

Chuxia interrupted her: "Are you hinting you want to distance yourself from us in the future?"

"No." Liu Meijun quickly shook her head, "I need you for my lifelong matters, how could I ever distance myself? I’m just reminding myself to work hard."

No matter if my partner is willing to help me support my parents, I must ensure I can take care of them myself, so I feel at ease, and my parents feel at ease too."

"I support you in that..." Chuxia paused briefly, "But just don’t be overly polite because of it, and don’t refuse help from your partner. Also, don’t exhaust yourself, do things within your capacity, if you are comfortable, your partner will be comfortable too. That’s my two cents."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Liu Meijun nodded, "To be honest, all this time I’ve been looking forward to your return. Without your presence, I have nobody to confide my inner thoughts to.

All the stress was bottled up, and my mood worsened, lowering my work efficiency. My parents told me that seeing me being gloomy makes them worried.

They couldn’t find even a hint of youthful vitality in me; they felt they were a burden, which added more pressure, so our time together as a family is truly tense now.

I know this state is wrong, but I just couldn’t unlock myself. Sharing with you all today, though not pressure-free yet, my heart really feels much lighter."

"I’m sorry..." Zhang Erniu, who had been listening quietly, blushed, "I’m too clumsy. Actually, I noticed you were feeling down, but didn’t know how to comfort you, fearing I’d annoy you. So even when meeting, I dreaded speaking too much..."

Liu Meijun interrupted her with a smile: "Erniu, how can you take responsibility? It’s my own issue, unrelated to anyone else. If you feel guilty, I’ll really feel ashamed."

"I..." Zhang Erniu tried to explain further but worried about not expressing it well, which made her face even redder.

Feeling empathy for her future sister-in-law, Luo Xiaoqiong glared at Liu Meijun: "This is solely your responsibility, we told you to keep in touch with Erniu more, you know she’s genuine. If you confided your troubles to her, she’d definitely uplift you and never leak a secret. Not trusting such a friend, it’s no wonder you’re feeling down."

"Yes, yes, it’s all my fault..." Liu Meijun sincerely admitted her mistake, earnestly looking at Zhang Erniu, "Erniu, I’ll share everything with you from now on, advise me freely based on your own thoughts, okay?"

"Okay." Zhang Erniu nodded, expressing seriousness, "I would never flatter you with lies!"

Luo Xiaoqiong spread her hands: "See? That’s how genuine people are. Whatever you say to her, she’ll take it seriously, so you must trust her."

"Definitely." Liu Meijun nodded, "The main reason was that I had limited interaction with Erniu previously, so I felt embarrassed to speak up. Now that we’ve opened up, I won’t hesitate anymore."

"Stop talking and start eating..." Chuxia picked up her chopsticks, calling everyone’s attention, "These dishes here are super nutritious but won’t make you gain weight, so eat more and make yourselves beautiful."

"Now that you mention it, I’m actually hungry." Luo Xiaoqiong leaned forward slightly, just about to reach for the chopsticks when Longlong woke up, kicked his little leg, and started crying loudly.

"Damn it!" Luo Xiaoqiong lamented, clutching her head, "Why do you pull this trick right when I’m about to eat? Are you letting me eat or not?" (To be continued.
