1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 306 Worried
"Sister-in-law, is the girl who came to see you today your college classmate?"

"Huh? What?"

Lu Youyou was reading the latest journal and didn't immediately realize what Song Yunqing was talking about.

Song Yunqing leaned against the window and pointed downstairs.

She and Lu Youyou came back together and ran into Yu Qingtian downstairs. This was the second time she had seen this international student who was also from China.

“We’re not classmates, but we came to the US in the same batch,” Lu Youyou replied casually.

Song Yunqing didn't have any particular feelings towards Yu Qingtian, but she was somewhat curious to meet a girl who was even more outgoing than her and was also Chinese.

Thinking of Yu Qingtian thanking Lu Youyou with a huge stack of newspapers, Song Yunqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, did you teach her how to learn English?"

"Yes, she said she couldn't improve her spoken English and asked me what to do."

Yu Qingtian kept Lu Youyou's words in mind, reading the newspaper every day and speaking boldly. Even though Song Yunqing was fluent in Chinese, she insisted on communicating in English.

Song Yunqing recalled, "It seems to be working. More than half a month ago, she was still stuttering when she spoke to me, but today she is much better."

Yu Qingtian was serious about clinging to his coattails, and she was serious about thanking him. She even gritted her teeth and bought several kilograms of oranges as a thank-you gift.

On the other hand, Li Mingyue was worried about upsetting Lu Youyou, so she didn't dare to be as "clingy" as Yu Qingtian.

She sat on the lawn in front of the library, a book open in front of her, but after a long while she only read half a page.

Yu Qingtian came over groaning, her face scrunched up: "I'm exhausted, it's so heavy, hurry up, hurry up, give me a hand!"

Li Mingyue immediately stood up and saw that a large bag of oranges had been brought back untouched. She asked in surprise, "Didn't Lu want them?"

Yu Qingtian grimaced as she rubbed the red marks on her hands: "She only took two, and we had to eat the rest ourselves."

Since international students are not well-off, Lu Youyou naturally wouldn't accept any thank-you gifts.

Li Mingyue felt helpless. The oranges were bought with money she and Yu Qingtian pooled together. She thought that this would help them get closer, but Lu Youyou was still so unyielding.

"When you arrived, Lu was still in the dorm and hadn't gone out?" Li Mingyue asked casually.

"Yeah, she probably has class this afternoon, and she just came back after having dinner with her roommate."

Li Mingyue lowered her head and remained silent.

Lu Youyou goes to the lab for the first three days of the week, and usually stays at school on Thursdays and Fridays. The man named Lawrence is probably Lu Youyou's colleague in the lab, and he sometimes drives her back if it gets too late.

She had seen him from afar once, and gradually extracted some information from Yu Qingtian.

But how can I get close to Lawrence? He seems to rarely appear at school.

"Mingyue? Li Mingyue?" Yu Qingtian called her name twice without getting a response, then reached out and nudged her. "Want some?"

Li Mingyue snapped out of her daze, took half an orange, and took a tasteless bite.

It's so sweet! She's never eaten such a sweet orange in her life. Why wouldn't Lu Youyou want something so good?

Although I don't know what project Lu Youyou was involved in, it was a Stanford professor's lab, and she went there without hesitation.

They're all international students, so why is Lu Youyou so lucky? Why are the Rockefeller family members so close to her?
“Mingyue, I don’t think Lu Youyou is really interested in the hometown association. Maybe we should just let it go. Asking her again will only annoy her.”

Yu Qingtian quickly finished half an orange, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist peeling another one.

Since I've already bought them, I might as well eat them!

After peeling the second one, Li Mingyue still didn't say a word. Yu Qingtian rolled her eyes and nudged her with her elbow.

"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Did you hear what I just said?"

"what?"

“I said, Lu Youyou probably has no interest in the hometown association, so there’s no need to mention it again.” Li Mingyue fell silent again. She had been subtly urging Yu Qingtian several times, but to no avail, so it was indeed best not to ask anymore.

"Well, let's not ask then. If there's a chance, we can get together with Lu alone, what do you think?"

"I'm fine with it. It depends on the person. Lu is a very busy person. Even if you go to the dorm, she's not always there."

Li Mingyue remained noncommittal. Of course, she couldn't find the person if she hadn't checked the time accurately, but she wouldn't tell Yu Qingtian that.

That day, Lu Youyou received a phone call from Professor Hopkins in her dormitory.

"Lu, there's an academic exchange at UC Berkeley this afternoon. I'll have Lawrence pick you up."

"Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"No need, it's just a simple exchange meeting. Oh, and there's a buffet dinner tonight, so just wear formal attire."

In the dormitory, Song Yunqing was fiddling with hair dye. When she saw Lu Youyou return, she asked, "What color do you think I should change to, gray or light gold?"

"Gray?" Lu Youyou thought the granny gray color was pretty good.

"Okay, gray it is. I don't have class this afternoon, so I'll get it dyed today."

After putting away a bunch of bottles and jars, Song Yunqing suddenly thought of something, turned around and took Lu Youyou's arm: "Why don't you go and get a new hairstyle too?"

"I'm going to Berkeley this afternoon."

"Huh? That's what the phone call was about?"

"Ah."

Song Yunqing pouted and sighed, "Your professor likes you too much; he doesn't give you a single spare moment!"

However, Song Yunqing was also happy for Lu Youyou. Even though their majors were different, she had heard of Professor Hopkins's reputation.

Seeing Lu Youyou standing in front of the wardrobe, she asked curiously, "What, is there a dress code this time?"

"Yes, there's a buffet."

"This one, this one, it would definitely look great with a suit jacket!"

Song Yunqing pointed to a white silk dress in the wardrobe. It was a gift from her mother to Lu Youyou, and she had helped her choose it.

Lu Youyou smiled and said, "Okay, this is it."

The dress is simple and elegant, making it perfect for this formal yet understated occasion.

"It's a pity my cousin isn't here. He'd be wearing a white shirt and you'd be wearing a white skirt, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel good!"

For a CP fan like Song Yunqing, seeing their favorite CP living apart in different places is just not a sweet moment at all.

Just like now, Lu Youyou has already changed her clothes, and she can only imagine Gu Qingye by her side.

Even so, she still enjoyed watching it immensely. There was no way around it; they were such a perfect match from head to toe, she had never seen a couple like them in her entire life.

"Sister-in-law, how about I have the family driver take you there?"

Although Berkeley is not far away, Song Yunqing was still worried.

She stared at Lu Youyou, unable to look away. How could someone wear such a simple dress so beautifully!
The prettier she was, the more worried she became. She had also heard about the time when Lu Youyou was robbed at gunpoint, and her family had repeatedly warned them to be careful.

"It's okay, Lawrence will come to pick me up later."

"Lawrence Rockefeller?"

"Ah."

"That's okay."
