My Beloved Super Fierce Wife

Chapter 409: The most beautiful kid～

Gu Yingzhou paused for a moment upon hearing this, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually deepening.

Crisp and refined eyebrows and eyes as if sketched on countless scrolls.

No one could rival his radiant beauty; truly, he was without peer.

"...Did you smear honey on your lips, or why are they so sweet?" he smiled teasingly in return.

Lin Tang blinked.

Luminous eyes shone brightly, infusing her gaze with color.

"You’ll know if I’ve had honey..." she began, teasingly.

And you’ll find out soon enough.

Before she could finish the sentence, Gu Yingzhou, as if expecting the young girl to say something that would make his heart burst, quickly covered her mouth with his hand.

"Little ancestor, stop talking," he said, his tone full of helplessness.

Being flirty only to end up being flirted with.

It seemed he was doomed to be teased for a lifetime!

Lin Tang removed Gu Yingzhou’s hand and intertwined their fingers.

They would let go when people were around.

And continue holding hands when alone.

Not finding it bothersome in the least.

At this moment, they were as naive as high school students secretly in love.

Their walk wasn’t long, but they made it last, walking slowly.

By the time they returned to the Guest House, dusk had settled.

Lin Tang took the books Gu Yingzhou had bought for her family and said with a smile:

"Alright, you should head back now; you’ve had a long day.

Don’t forget to drink a cup of Medicinal Wine before bed, and you’ll wake up tomorrow looking like a lively young man."

Today was over, and the following days wouldn’t afford them any leisure time.

Gu Yingzhou knew this well.

"Right, you rest early too."

After bidding each other good night, Lin Tang walked towards her room.

Just a few steps away, Qin Suqing’s cheerful voice reached her.

"Tangtang!"

Lin Tang stopped and turned around.

She saw Qin Suqing entering the Guest House, laden with large and small packages.

"Where have you been, and why so many things?" Lin Tang approached and took the largest package from her hands, asking.

Qin Suqing, panting from excitement after spending money, replied:

"I got a little bit of everything. It’s not often we come here, might as well get my money’s worth."

Never say that there’s nothing lacking at home.

To her, as long as she went out, the house was always in need of something.

Just like the clothes and shoes in her room, always missing one item regardless of the season.

Lin Tang indicated that she completely understood.

"Right, no problem."

The regret and pain of spending too much money aside, the act of spending itself was a source of joy.

In the future, the saying ’shopping cures all woes’ would come to be.

Thus, throughout history, this sentiment has remained consistent.

As they talked, the two young girls returned to their room.

Qin Suqing took a special hair clip out of her belongings.

"Tangtang, this hair clip is for you. I picked it out for a while. Do you like it?"

Without any reservation, Lin Tang accepted it, replying with a smile painted on her lips, "I love it, thank you."

The hair clip was delicate and sparkled with a soft silver light, adorned with finely crafted pearls.

Exquisite and adorable.

It was difficult for any young girl not to like it.

Lin Tang, always liking to dress up, was no exception.

Although she needed nothing, a good friend’s gesture meant something different altogether.

This hair clip cost three yuan each – a small luxury in an era where pork was just over two dimes a kilo, and a significant expense for many.

Qin Suqing’s salary of less than thirty yuan a month was not a small sum either.

Having found something she liked, she bit the bullet and bought three.

Seeing Tangtang’s genuine delight, Qin Suqing was over the moon.

"As long as you’re happy."

Lin Tang expressed her gratitude through action rather than words.

She immediately clipped the hair accessory in her hair.

In an era of scarcity, even a red hair tie was a trendsetter.

This exquisitely crafted hair clip goes without saying.

Lin Tang felt that in an instant, she became the brightest kid in Sea City, the kind with a halo atop her head.

"Does it look good?" she asked with curved eyes.

Qin Suqing nodded frantically.

And her eyes sparkled like stars.

"It looks good, especially good."

Back when she was still in school, she had wanted to be friends with Lin Tang, who was the best-looking in the class.

But Comrade Lin Tang was too aloof for her own good.

Always buried in her books.

(ó﹏ò｡)

She could only sigh with envy at Tangtang and curse herself for being academically inept.

Unexpectedly, after starting work, she ended up getting close to Tangtang, becoming good friends.

This friendship, she wanted to maintain for a lifetime!

She hoped when they were both old, they could still stroll arm in arm.

Lin Tang was the sort of person who wanted to return tenfold if someone was kind to her even in the slightest.

She got up and took a small white box out of her bag.

"...This is sunscreen, for you, use it with the moisturizer, it keeps your face neither dry nor oily.

Aren’t you going out for a run? Using this won’t harm your face."

At this time of the year, Sea City was both humid and hot, and today the sun was fierce, her face felt burnt and painful because she had forgotten to apply sunscreen.

Thinking of Qingqing who would be out and about for a few more days, Lin Tang wanted to give her friend a bottle of sunscreen.

When it comes to sunscreen and skin care, it’s never too early to start.

Qin Suqing’s face lit up with a big smile.

She quickly accepted and secured it.

She looped her arm around Lin Tang’s, leaning her head intimately on her shoulder.

"Tangtang, you’re so good to me!"

Lin Tang just smiled without saying a word.

Sincerity begets sincerity, after all.

-

The next day was a fresh new day.

After a day of rest, Lin Tang and the others looked refreshed.

They were all spirited and upbeat.

They arrived on time at the early hour they had agreed upon.

Old Yang, as an experienced elder and the leader of the team,

eyed the group of young people before him, reflecting profound expectation in his gaze.

"All comrades fortunate enough to attend this exposition are the elite of our factory. This is a rare opportunity, so everyone must study diligently.

We, of our generation, know only too well the pain and depth of the principle that if you fall behind, you get beaten. I believe all comrades are holding their breath.

Today, the chance to learn is right in front of us.

As a predecessor, I hope everyone will muster all their energy to study, to learn as much as possible, to observe carefully and study earnestly!"

Everyone should learn a bit more, and when we return, we’ll hold several seminars, turning one point into two, and two into three.

The people from the Textile Factory understood the importance of this and nodded earnestly.

"Old Yang, rest assured, we will," they said.

Old Yang nodded in satisfaction.

Then he turned to Lin Tang, giving her a particular reminder.

"Comrade Xiaolin, it’s your first time here, don’t be nervous, just think of it as a practical lesson organized by the school."

There would be compatriots from all over the country at the expo, as well as foreigners, and he didn’t want to scare the young girl.

Comrade Xiaolin was like a little bud from their factory, needing careful nurturing to blossom.

Lin Tang, with a serious little face, was filled with anticipation.

"...Yes, I will study hard too," she said.

She wanted to see just how advanced the technologies of other countries were, and then consider how to apply her own talents.

Old Yang and the others smiled at the sight of the young girl’s earnest demeanor.

Lin Tang didn’t know what they were laughing about, and her face showed confusion.

But little did she know, the old folks found it even more amusing.

To them, Lin Tang, short in stature with a seemingly smaller face, stood out comically like a delicate bud amongst the ’rough and tough’ crowd.

Eventually, it was Old Yang who smoothed things over, "...Let’s all hurry along."

With that, the group quickly joined the queue, waiting to enter.

Simultaneously, at the Ruan family’s.

Thinking of the big event planned for today, the old Ruan couple rose early.

After breakfast, Madam Ruan opened the wardrobe, starting to rummage through the clothes within.
