Chapter 577: Chapter 577: For those in love, no matter how bitter or tired, it is also sweet

Lu Yichen tucked her stray hairs behind her ear, "I called Ji City, and they said you were on the 10 a.m. train. I rushed over as soon as I got off work, thankfully, I made it in time."

After speaking, he glanced around and whispered in Luo Qiao’s ear, "Missed you, missed you a lot."

Luo Qiao’s face flushed red at once, and she remembered Lu Ningzhou had come. When she turned around, there was no one there, but she saw the grandmother and grandson standing ahead. She smiled, ready to leave, when the little boy said, "Sister, that uncle just said he had something else to do, so he left first."

Luo Qiao smiled, "Thank you, got it. Let’s go, we can exit the station together."

In a soft voice, Lu Yichen asked near Luo Qiao’s ear, "Who was he talking about?"

As they walked out, Luo Qiao replied, "Someone I met on the train earlier. His wife was heavily pregnant and about to give birth, and there was no one else around, so another auntie and I helped out."

Once outside, Lu Yichen bumped into an old comrade-in-arms, coincidentally picking up the same grandparent and grandchild that had been sitting with Luo Qiao.

The boy ran over, "Daddy, I missed you so much."

"Daddy missed you too. Did you behave and listen to grandma?"

"Yes, I didn’t annoy grandma and I even helped her out."

At this, the grandmother had also approached, "The boy was good and very sensible."

Only then the grandmother said, "We owe this young lady a lot for taking care of us on the train."

Lu Yichen noticed his comrade looking over and introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Luo Qiao."

Then he introduced to Luo Qiao, "This is my comrade, Wang Haipeng."

They chatted briefly before parting ways.

Lu Yichen had come on his bicycle today, and Luo Qiao, riding behind him, smiled radiantly.

On their way back, Luo Qiao thought of Kong Xiangrui and asked, "How is Kong Xiangrui doing now?"

Lu Yichen reached back and grabbed Luo Qiao’s right hand, placing it on his waist, "Hold on tight or you’ll fall off."

Luo Qiao laughed and punched Lu Yichen hard, feigning annoyance, "Always making trouble, you are."

Lu Yichen wore a look of proud satisfaction and after a while, he said, "Kong Xiangrui’s doing well now. Oh yes, he said he’s almost out of the ointment he was using."

Luo Qiao said indifferently, "That should last him until the end of the month. I really can’t with him; a jar of that medicine costs 160, and I charge him just a bit more than 200."

Lu Yichen commented, "Not much, considering it saved his life."

After a moment, Luo Qiao recalled what she had provided to Kong Xiangrui and spoke up, "With the Nourishing Pills I made, he paid me 230 yuan in total. As for the consultation fee, I didn’t charge him out of consideration for our childhood friendship."

"Okay," Lu Yichen replied, "I’ll go and collect the money from him tomorrow. Plus, I’ll collect the money for this batch he needs and bring it to you as well."

Luo Qiao was returning to the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound today, as the house belonging to her grandparents needed repairs due to a leaky roof. After a family discussion, it was decided to rebuild the house.

As there was a forest behind the grandfather’s house, following discussions with the neighbors, plans were made to construct a three-story building, especially since the grandsons were all grown up and would no longer be able to fit on makeshift plank beds during the family gatherings at New Year’s.

Luo Daoren had only enough money to build two stories, but the sons all agreed that if they were going to build, it should be done properly in one go. Hence, each son contributed financially, and the building was directly constructed with three stories.

Lu Yichen dropped Luo Qiao off outside the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound, "Qiaoqiao, I won’t come in; I’ll find some time to see you tomorrow to get the medicine."

Luo Qiao nodded, saying, "Goodbye, Brother Lu."

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Lu Yichen said, "Qiaoqiao, there’s something I want to discuss."

"What is it?" Luo Qiao asked.

Looking around, Lu Yichen whispered, "Can we change how we address each other?"

Luo Qiao burst into laughter, and it took her a while to stop before saying, "So, what would you like me to call you? Yi Yi, Chenchen, Brother Yi, Brother Chen, or just Yichen or Brother Yichen?"

Checking the time, and with duties awaiting him in the evening, Lu Yichen didn’t linger to consider the matter, "You decide. I’ll check on the result next time I come. I have to go now, I’m running out of time."

Watching Lu Yichen speed off, Luo Qiao called after him, "Be safe."

"Got it!" Lu Yichen called back loudly.

Standing under the shade of trees outside the Machinery Factory Courtyard, Luo Qiao watched Lu Yichen disappear into the distance before turning away. In her past life, she had never experienced romance, though she had seen plenty of TV shows and read numerous novels.

When in love, people want to see each other every moment; no matter how tiring or tough, it feels sweet. Seeing that Lu Yi had squeezed time out of his day to pick her up, and with work still awaiting him in the evening, he really was a fool in this sweltering heat, which made her feel a touch of heartache.

Upon arriving home, seeing that her cousin was there too, she greeted with a laugh, "Cousin, you’re here."

Luo Jialin responded with a smile, "Yeah, I came to check on grandpa and grandma. I just cut some watermelon, come have a slice to cool off."
