The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

u, too, didn’t want Tan Xiaoyan to listen in on their conversation, so she walked in front of Xiao Chengping.

Hearing their conversation, Tan Xiaoyan was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Walking for a little while, Tong Xuelu said, “Now can you tell me what this is about?”

Xiao Chengping lowered his head and looked at her.
“Crybaby, why didn’t you tell me last time that you aren’t the daughter of the Tong’s?”

He had been insanely busy since he had gotten back and only learned that Tong Xuelu wasn’t the Tong’s daughter yesterday.
After asking around, he finally found out that she worked here and hurried over immediately.

Tong Xuelu gave him an odd look.
“Why would I tell you? We don’t know each other that well.”

Xiao Chengping was bothered by what she had said.
“We grew up in the same compound.
How could you say that we don’t know each other well?”

“Alright.
If you say so.
So, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Tong Xuelu still had no idea what he wanted to say.
It’s getting dark, and she just wanted to go home.

Xiao Chengping was even more bothered when he saw her you-are-annoying-and-I-don’t-really-want-to-talk-to-you look.
Pulling an envelope out of his pocket, he handed it over to her and said, “This is for you.”

Tong Xuelu did not take the envelope from him.
“What’s inside of it?”

Xiao Chengping’s neck thickened.
“Just take it!”

But Tong Xuelu still didn’t take it from him.

He scratched his head and shouted, “It’s money! But don’t misunderstand.
I pity you is all, being kicked out by the Tong’s and having a few siblings to take care of.
That’s the only reason I am lending you money!”

“……”

Looking at his I-am-lending-you-money-but-don’t-dream-about-me look, Tong Xuelu felt very speechless.

“Thank you, but I don’t need any.”

She didn’t want to just take his money; besides, she didn’t need to borrow money from anyone either.

Having said that, she walked around him and kept on walking.

Xiao Chengping was anxious.
He chased after her and wanted to shove the envelope into her hand.

Tong Xuelu struggled and refused to take the money.
Suddenly, a warm voice came from one end of the alleyway––

“What are you guys doing?”

Tong Xuelu’s heart moved when she heard the voice, and she turned her head toward it.

She saw Wen Rugui standing at the end of the alleyway.
The orange-yellow colored street light casted down on him, making his shadow very elongated.

He was looking at hers and Xiao Chengping’s hands.
His long eyelashes covered his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Tong Xuelu lifted her brows.

Didn’t he say he wouldn’t have time to return till next month? Why was he here then?
