Chapter 93: Chapter 91: The Sudden Matchmaking Candidate

"Hey, I still want to attend my cousin’s wedding."

"Jiang Nanzhou talked to me about this, as Dad doesn’t have time recently. On your way back to Capital City, passing through Yangjiang, you and Nanzhou will follow your uncle and aunt to attend your cousin’s wedding. Stay there for a day or two and then head directly to Capital City. Stay in Capital City for two or three days, which should coincide with the start of your school term. The schedule is tight, but both families should meet with the elders."

And just like that, Lu Jingqiu was arranged neatly by her father and Jiang Nanzhou.

She was a bit timid, but her father had pushed her to the front, leaving her with no choice but to go.

Is this what they call a shy bride meeting her in-laws? She needed to prepare herself.

In the evening, she went to her aunt’s place to ask about the departure time, next week.

Her aunt and uncle would stay over there for a week. Lu Jingqiu calculated that they couldn’t stay too long, so they could arrive the day before her cousin’s wedding.

Jiang Nanzhou probably also knew that he was imposing and was afraid that Lu Jingqiu would be angry.

The canteen made particularly delicious sour and spicy shredded potatoes at noon, and he specially saved a portion for Lu Jingqiu. In the afternoon, the canteen made braised eggplant and waited for her to get off work, bringing the lunchbox left over from noon, and took her to eat at the canteen.

"Jingqiu, I really want you to come back with me, and I still have vacation days left. I think summer is the most appropriate time. If you’re angry, you can punch me a couple of times when no one’s around."

Lu Jingqiu glared at him and said, "Why can’t I do it when people are around?"

Jiang Nanzhou paused, lowered his head to think for a moment, then turned his head to check the nearby people, and whispered, "How about now?"

Lu Jingqiu looked at the passersby on both sides and laughed, "Can’t you discuss things with me before you do them?"

Jiang Nanzhou said, "I will, but with this matter, I knew you would hesitate, so I had to push you a bit."

Left without a retort by his words, Lu Jingqiu found herself speechless.

"How is your grandfather doing, and your mother, she..."

"Nanzhou."

Lu Jingqiu hadn’t finished her question when she was interrupted by Lih Huakun from a distance.

After not seeing him for a long time, there was actually a female comrade with him.

Upon seeing the girl beside Lih Huakun, Jiang Nanzhou’s brows imperceptibly furrowed.

Lih Huakun quickly approached, greeting them, "Comrade Lu, long time, no see, you’re here too." Then he turned to Jiang Nanzhou and said, "Nanzhou, look who’s here."

The female comrade beside Lih Huakun was the first to call out, "Brother Zhou."

"Comrade Xiuya, what brings you here?"

Xiuya replied, "Aunt Yang sent me."

Unaware of the situation, Lih Huakun added, "It’s all because Aunt Yang is worried about you being a bachelor. If you don’t show up, they have to send the girl over. Hey, I’ve brought the person, now it’s your turn to host."

At first, Lu Jingqiu thought the person looked familiar, and upon hearing her name, she was taken aback, this girl? After hearing what Lih Huakun said, she became unsettled and somewhat angry, "I suddenly lost my appetite, I’ll go first, you guys chat."

"Comrade Lu, long time no see, shall we have a meal together?"

Lih Huakun had intended to leave space for Jiang Nanzhou and Wang Xiuya, planning to walk away with Lu Jingqiu.

But Jiang Nanzhou suddenly became anxious and quickly grabbed Lu Jingqiu’s hand, "Jingqiu, don’t misunderstand."

Lu Jingqiu pulled her hand away and said coldly, "You deal with it first." After speaking, she turned and left.

Jiang Nanzhou turned to Lih Huakun and said, "You settle Comrade Xiuya first, I will find you later to explain."

After saying that, he rapidly chased after Lu Jingqiu.

At this point, Lih Huakun seemed to have a hunch about what was happening and, being quick-witted, immediately said to Wang Xiuya, "Comrade Xiuya, Nanzhou is a bit busy right now, I’ll take you to get settled first. Enjoy yourself here for the next few days. The scenery in West City is quite nice."

Wang Xiuya, in her twenties, could hardly miss the situation between the two people ahead, and said, "Brother Zhou might have someone he likes."

"Ah,... haha. I don’t know either." Lih Huakun laughed it off; he wanted to know as well.

Jiang Nanzhou caught up with Lu Jingqiu and pulled her into a secluded corner, saying, "Jingqiu, I’ve only met Comrade Xiuya once, and I’ve only discussed our matter with my grandfather; my mother doesn’t know about it."

"Yeah, I know. So you go back and deal with it properly, then come tell me once it’s settled."

"You... don’t be angry."

"I’m not angry."

"Yes, you are."

"I’m not." She truly wasn’t because she knew this Xiuya; in her previous life, Shen Mu had brought her to meet Gao Shu.

She was Shen Mu’s wife, childhood sweethearts with him.

Of course, she was puzzled as to why Xiuya would come here for a blind date with Jiang Nanzhou now.

To say she wasn’t worried would be a lie; after all, Xia Lin’s life trajectory had changed, and she feared that other people and things might change as well.

Jiang Nanzhou knew it was futile to say anything to Lu Jingqiu now.

The most pressing issue was to resolve the matter with Xiuya as soon as possible.

After settling Wang Xiuya, Lih Huakun met Jiang Nanzhou downstairs.

He hurriedly came up and asked, "What in the world happened? I was only gone a few days, and you and Comrade Lu seem different."

"We are in a relationship."

"... Ah, really together now? You moved pretty fast."

"Wasn’t it because of what you said below?"

Lih Huakun said, "When did I?"

Jiang Nanzhou glanced at him irritably and didn’t want to discuss it further, gesturing towards the guest house and asking, "What’s up with her? Did my mom really send her here?"

Lih Huakun said, "Your mom knew I was going, and she notified me half a month in advance that Xiuya would be on vacation, her parents were busy, and it was a good opportunity for her to come here and take a look. She even specifically instructed that after her arrival, you should take Comrade Xiuya around for a good time. Isn’t the intention very clear?"

Jiang Nanzhou frowned and didn’t say a word.

Lih Huakun spread his hands and said, "What to do? I don’t have time to deal with this Comrade Xiuya; I still have to see patients."

"I’ll have Xiao Mu come over tomorrow."

"Your brother, eh?"

Jiang Nanzhou nodded, "Yeah, they’re familiar with each other."

Lih Huakun, looking at the complicated situation, asked, "Are you really dating Lu Jingqiu?"

"Yeah, I think you were right; Jingqiu suits me well, and also, I..."

Lih Huakun watched his friend, shy and inadequate, laughing, "You mean you like her, right? I said it; you’re different with her. Comrade Lu is also different with you. That’s called mutual attraction; once there’s fondness, further interaction leads to liking."

Jiang Nanzhou joked, "You, who’s never been in a relationship, sure know a lot."

Lih Huakun glared at him, "Only you’re always so cold to others, never pondering these issues. Hey, you’d better keep a tight lid on this matter with Comrade Xiuya. It must not reach Army Commander Lu; otherwise, I reckon you’ll get a beating."

Still shaken from the beating he had received last time, Jiang Nanzhou was naturally aware.
