Back to the prime of life

Chapter 45 Xu Qiuxue's Gift
All the roommates in 407 knew that Yin Anyan had gone out to deliver gifts today, so after she came back, An Yihuan and a group of people surrounded her and asked her about it. Now Yin Anyan was the only one in the whole dormitory who was a little gossipy.

She didn't disappoint her roommates and thought for a moment before answering, "He seems quite happy."

"Really? Really?" Tian Ruoxue and others stood up from their seats.

An Yihuan said, "Look, I told you he must have some interest in it. They even gave each other gifts on Christmas Eve. What else could it mean except that he likes you?"

Ai Mai, the Xinjiang girl, also squeezed over and asked, "Hey, did he confess his love to you?"

"No."

Gu Huimin interrupted and said, "What does this Lu Changge mean by just doing things without saying anything?"

An Yihuan said, "Using Cheng Yongyi's words, Lu Changge doesn't seem quite like a young man. A nice way to put it is to say he's mature and steady, but a less nice way is to say he's old-fashioned. Confessions are something young people do, so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer before asking him to do it."

"Can we ask Cheng Yongyi to make some more efforts?" Li Xiaojun also began to give suggestions.

Yin Anyan wasn't actually that anxious. She felt fine now. "Are you guys also thinking about this too quickly?"

Tian Ruoxue smiled secretly and said, "How are you fast? Compared to Yihuan, you and Lu Changge are much slower. You haven't even held hands yet."

An Yihuan didn't mind being teased, instead she showed some sass. "What's the matter, what's the matter, you little slut, are you thinking about it too? Don't be shy, you have a boyfriend now anyway, just give it a try with him, you'll know how it feels after you try it."

This was too bold a statement, 407 told her to call out in a continuous manner.

But An Yihuan didn't stop and said to Yin Anyan, "I've observed it. You can tell a man's beauty by looking at his nose. Lu Changge has a big nose, so he must be strong. Don't worry, An Yan."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what nonsense! Why are you getting more and more off-topic? I didn't think about those things." Yin Anyan covered his ears with a red face.

"Alas, we girls have to suffer this kind of embarrassing loss. For me, it's too late to regret it now."

Under An Yihuan's dirty talk, the tone of the conversation had completely changed. Everyone's heartbeat quickened, and in the end, explicit chatter came one after another.

……

……

When Lu Changge arrived downstairs of the dormitory, he received a message from Zuo Shuya.

She said she had already received 2 orders tonight and would keep working hard.

Seeing this, he smiled slightly and felt relieved.

As long as Zuo Shuya is really attentive, there is nothing to worry about.

This is how it is in the real workplace. The leader will only feel at ease if he has pua you.

However, Lu Changge did not use any very unethical tricks. He just took advantage of people's simple psychology. In the end, Zuo Shuya also made considerable profits.

When he reached the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory, the dormitory manager called him.

"Lu Changge, right?"

"Oh, yes. Auntie, do you still recognize me?"

"I know you. You're the one the senior girls in this building are looking for."

Well, the others are really disappointing.

Auntie took out two wooden paper bags and said, "Here, they were delivered by express. They are all sent by the little girl, right? I see there are some from Jinling too."

When the old lady said this, Lu Changge didn't feel any happiness, but only felt embarrassed.

"The one in Jinling is my sister."

After explaining this, he quickly slipped away.

It was indeed a Christmas gift from Xu Qiuxue. It wasn't expensive, just a set of black and white cotton gloves, but this was the first time Xu Qiuxue bought something for him.

But he has been too busy recently and forgot about Xu Qiuxue.

So he quickly made a phone call and the two of them chatted about their recent situation.

Lu Changge hadn't told anyone else what he'd been up to lately, but he did tell Xu Qiuxue about it. He didn't exaggerate, saying he'd made over three thousand yuan. Xu Qiuxue was surprised and delighted, "You're making so much, are you working part-time to support your studies?"

“I guess so. Actually, I opened a Taobao store.”

"That's pretty good. Is this for a month or how long? Will there be more later?"

The feeling of family members is different from that of outsiders. When Xu Qiuxue asked about income, he felt very natural.

"It's half a month. I guess it will be more next month."

Xu Qiuxue was half-lying on the bed with her hair loose. Upon hearing the news, she sat up in surprise. "Wow, you're really impressive now! You'll be a small millionaire soon."

"Haha, I hope so. Are you short of money? I'm a little better off now, so I'll send you a thousand."

"No, no. You worked so hard to earn this money, and I didn't do anything. I feel bad charging you money."

She made this call in the dormitory, and when she said this, a roommate with long black hair turned to look at her.

"It's different. I'm your brother. As your brother, I can enjoy the best food here, but I can't ask you to eat coarse food every day."

"How can I live on coarse grains?" Xu Qiuxue laughed. "I don't lack anything now."

"Really? Didn't you brave the cold winter wind to tutor people? Didn't you find a part-time job at the campus canteen?"

When Lu Changge said this, Xu Qiuxue was shocked.

She never told him these things about herself, how did he know?

"Are you a criminal police officer? You've investigated everything?" Xu Qiuxue asked in surprise. "No, how did you know?"

Of course I knew. More than ten years later, their conversations also touched upon their college days.

Due to difficult conditions, Xu Qiuxue had been working part-time throughout her school years. She had definitely worked as a tutor and in a convenience store. Lu Changge remembered it very clearly.

The key is that Xu Qiuxue has very high demands on herself, and these part-time jobs are squeezed out of her studies.

Try to study and make money at the same time and you will understand. Not to mention how tiring it is, but it is certain that you have to sacrifice one or two hours of sleep on average every day.

For example, if she goes out to tutor, she can't afford to take a taxi, but how long does it take for the bus to go there and back?

"Don't worry about how I know this, just tell me if it's true."

Xu Qiuxue was really puzzled. "It's true, it's nothing. It's not as hard as you think. But why can't I earn as much as you? You make over 3,000 a fortnight, so shouldn't that be 5,000 or 6,000 a month?"

"So, I'll send you a thousand. At least it will save you some time to study. And I'm not asking for anything. You have to call me brother."

"Hahaha." Xu Qiuxue chuckled, "Why are you still thinking about this? I won't scream, or you'll be pissed off. Besides, are you older than me? I've never asked."

"Of course I'm older than you."

Lu Changge was quite happy chatting. He thought about it carefully and decided that if Xu Qiuxue just didn't tell him the card number, he could still ask his grandmother, who would also send him money regularly.

Since her grandmother is biased towards her, she probably won't tell anyone else about this.

After hanging up the phone.

The roommate who had just seen her asked curiously, "Qiuxue, who is that? You seem so happy chatting."

"It's my elder brother." Xu Qiuxue was indeed in a good mood. She got out of bed, stretched, and chatted with her roommate in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

"The one in Jiangzhou?"

"Yes."

"Is he going to give you money again?"

Xu Qiuxue didn't reveal too much about this, and only replied, "I didn't ask for it."

"Is that so?" The girl simply nodded, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
