Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 365 Be a Man!

Lin Qingping glared at him, "You still say you didn't read the letter?" Taking so long to come home, isn't that deliberately delaying?

He continued eating leisurely, saying, "I didn't look, that's all."

However, the kid told him that there were two tickets inside, for going to a concert tonight.

He returned late, so naturally the letter was late too, but it wasn't intentional...

Well, of course it wasn't intentional...

Lin Qingping immediately got up and went upstairs to change her clothes, leaving the letter open and unfolded.

Gu Juncheng swore he didn't want to read it, but the contents of the letter were laid out before him, and he glanced at several lines in just a few seconds.

Comrade Lin, your beauty is like a flower, blooming brilliantly in all four seasons of my life; your radiance is like the moon, giving me a warm glow in my lonely nights…

I can't stand it!

I can't stand watching it at all!

Looking at it again, my teeth are about to ache!

When Lin Qingping came down, Gu Juncheng had already put down his chopsticks.

"You're done eating so quickly?" she said, standing on the stairs.

"It's so sour it makes my teeth hurt, I can't eat it!"

Lin Qingping thought to herself, "What dishes do we have with vinegar today?"

He immediately understood when he saw the unfolded letter, and chuckled, "Yes, such excellent writing, how can it not make people envious!"

Gu Juncheng's face darkened. "You call this good writing?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Qingping smiled. "Oh, didn't you say you hadn't seen it?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

Who would want to see that?

But now, as Gu Juncheng looked up to speak, his attention had shifted from the letter to Lin Qingping's skirt.

She looks beautiful today.

She was still wearing a dress, a light blue one, which looked fresh and serene, making her fair skin appear to glow.

Her hair was tied up, revealing her slender and elegant neck, around which she wore a thin gold necklace that looked completely unfamiliar.

It wasn't him who gave it to me!

The gold necklace suddenly became exceptionally dazzling under the light.

He held back, and remained silent. But his gaze betrayed everything.

"Just say what you want to say, don't act like a man!" Lin Qingping opened the shoe cabinet and started looking for suitable shoes.

This is the second time recently that she has said he's not like a man!

"Lin Qingping, think about what you're saying before you speak!"

Lin Qingping found a pair of low-heeled sandals, tried them on, and thought they looked pretty good. She was about to wear them when she looked up and snorted, "What? You want to hear something even worse?"

Gu Juncheng choked, picked up the ticket, and stood up.

"What are you doing?" Lin Qingping reached out, meaning "Give me the ticket."

Gu Juncheng said, "Two tickets, one for me."

"You're going to see it too?" That's quite unusual.

"Why can't I go? Xiao Lu told me that there are two tickets, and I have one too, so we can go together!" Even though he didn't want to go at all.

That's exactly what Lu Chuang said in his letter.

Lin Qingping nodded, "Okay, let's go together!"

The two took a taxi there. Anyway, throughout the journey, Gu Juncheng kept glancing at Lin Qingping's clothes out of the corner of his eye.

Lin Qingping turned around abruptly and finally caught his gaze.

Their eyes met briefly in the air, and Gu Juncheng quickly looked away.

"Why are you hiding?" Lin Qingping asked. "Do you think my outfit is inappropriate again today?"

Gu Juncheng gave a slight hum and remained silent.

"Why are not you talking?"

Gu Juncheng looked directly out of the car window. "It's fine."

"Ha, you've learned to lie now? Your eyes practically scream 'ugly'!"

"That doesn't look good!"

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? ?

The driver in the cab couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Qingping glared at Gu Juncheng.

The driver then asked with a smile, "Are you two young comrades newly married?"

Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng remained silent. The driver, who was very quick to speak, didn't give them a chance to say anything and started talking on his own, "Young comrade, don't be angry. I'm the same way at home. My wife is always on trend. She gets her hair permed today and cuts it again tomorrow. She wears a dress today and buys a new style tomorrow. We men may not understand, but we like to see our wives dressed up and happy. If she's happy, we're happy!"

Lin Qingping gave a fake smile. Gu Juncheng, is it? Heh!

This driver was quite talkative. He could steer the conversation far and wide without needing any replies, from his and his wife's sweet moments to the tremendous changes in the capital and the happy lives of the people. He talked all the way.

At the entrance to the concert, Lu Chuang had been waiting for a long time, standing on tiptoe and peering intently at the intersection. The concert was about to start. Could it be that Brother Gu and Designer Lin were not coming again?

A hint of disappointment appeared in Lu Chuangba's eyes.

Finally, a car stopped not far away, the door opened, and Gu Juncheng got out first.

Lu Chuang was overjoyed and rushed over to greet him, calling out "Brother Gu, Brother Gu" as if he were seeing his own brother.

Then, without forgetting to run to open the car door for Lin Qingping, her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Qingping come out. "Designer Lin, you look so beautiful today!"

Gu Juncheng silently turned his eyes away.

Lin Qingping readily accepted Lu Chuang's praise.

The three of them went to the ticket checkpoint together.

Lu Chuang was in a good mood today, and feeling embarrassed to keep talking to Lin Qingping, he tried to get closer to Gu Juncheng.

His logic: Women are bound to be shy, so if he gets along with Lin's fellow townsman, then he's getting along with Lin, right?

He felt he was getting closer and closer to his brother Gu, so he proactively poured out all his family's information. He didn't see anything wrong with it; after all, his brother Gu was a soldier, and soldiers were absolutely trustworthy.

"Brother Gu, how old are you?" Lu Chuang said he was nineteen.

"34." Gu Juncheng never felt that age was something that couldn't be mentioned. These days, most people don't even have the idea that it's inappropriate to ask a woman's age.

He was born at the age of 18 (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning).

But after Gu Juncheng finished speaking, Lu Chuang's eyes widened like copper bells, and his mouth was agape.

Gu Juncheng didn't understand what was wrong with him for a moment, and then Lu Chuang started apologizing desperately, saying sorry three times in a row.

"What's wrong?" Gu Juncheng was completely confused by him.

“Brother Gu… no, no, I was wrong again.” Lu Chuang grabbed his hand, looking remorseful. “I should have called you Uncle, Uncle Gu. I’m sorry, I was rude. I’ll change. Please criticize me, Uncle.”

Gu Juncheng: ...

After expressing his remorse, Lu Chuang looked at Lin Qingping and asked, "Comrade Lin, is he from your hometown, or is he your uncle's generation?"

Lin Qingping chuckled as she looked at Gu Juncheng's dark face.

Lu Chuang was even more remorseful. "I made a really stupid mistake, Comrade Lin, please don't laugh at me."

After saying that, he sighed, "I should have seen it earlier. Comrade Lin, you're twenty years old, and Uncle Gu definitely looks like your uncle!"

“Comrade Lu Chuang, I’m 25,” Lin Qingping said with a smile. “You can call him Brother Gu or Uncle Gu, that’s fine.”

Lu Chuang's eyes widened even more. "But you really look only 20 years old." He then laughed, "But 25 is also the best age! I'm almost 20, and my mom is only 5 years older than my dad!"
