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

Chapter 312 Suddenly They Came to the Door

Song Shaoqing was once again "ordered to visit relatives," and took the opportunity to bring Lu Youyou some gifts.
"Brother, brother?" Song Yunqing poked him in annoyance, forcefully bringing his wandering mind back to the right track. "What are you thinking about? I've been calling you for ages and you haven't said a word."

"I miss your sister-in-law," Song Shaoqing replied casually.

Song Yunqing thought she had misheard and could barely speak: "You...you...sister-in-law...you..."

Her gaze darted back and forth between her brother and cousin's wife, and Song Yunqing felt a chill run down her spine. Oh no, her brother has gone mad!
Song Shaoqing looked up and met her horrified gaze. Realizing that his words had been ambiguous, he immediately tapped her on the forehead.

"I was talking about my girlfriend, what are you thinking!"

Song Yunqing covered her forehead and yelled, glaring at him fiercely: "Who told you not to explain clearly!"

She cautiously peeked out and saw that Lu Youyou was still engrossed in writing her report, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily I didn't hear it, otherwise I would have made a huge fool of myself.

Her thoughts quickly returned to her brother's love life gossip. She smiled and squeezed past him, bumping him a few times with her shoulder: "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"

Despite Song Shaoqing's youth, success, good looks, and wealth, he's a total straight man who can't understand why he's upset.

His girlfriend was his childhood sweetheart, and their families were old friends. Although they weren't married yet, the Song family had already accepted her as their granddaughter-in-law.

Song Shaoqing had never experienced heartbreak before, but his girlfriend had a huge fight with him a few days ago and hasn't spoken to him since.

“Say something, did you have a fight?” Song Yunqing poked him again.

Unable to withstand his sister's questioning, Song Shaoqing sighed, "I've already apologized, and it wasn't intentional. Who knew that Li Mingyue would suddenly fall on me..."

"Huh, Li Mingyue?" Song Yunqing took a moment to realize who Li Mingyue was. "What does she have to do with this?"

Then she heard a very melodramatic story.

Last time, Song Shaoqing was ordered to visit his family and brought his girlfriend with him. Everything was fine when he arrived, but a little incident happened when he was leaving.

His girlfriend accidentally spilled her coffee and needed to find a place to wash her hands. Song Shaoqing got out of the car to smoke, and Li Mingyue happened to be passing by.

The greetings and small talk were all normal, but suddenly a bird flew by, and Li Mingyue seemed to be startled, falling into Song Shaoqing's arms in a panic.

As luck would have it, she was also holding a drink, and Song Shaoqing's clothes were soaked through.

"And then?" Song Yunqing could already smell the drama in the air.

"Then Li Mingyue took out a handkerchief to wipe my face..."

"Your sister-in-law happened to see it?"

"Ah."

Song Yunqing rolled her eyes dramatically, really not wanting to admit that this was her biological brother.

"Didn't you back away at lightning speed, firmly refuse, and prefer to stay wet rather than let her touch you?"

"Well, I declined and refused, but Li Mingyue insisted on wiping it. When I blocked her, your sister-in-law came over."

Song Yunqing was certain: "My sister-in-law isn't unreasonable; you must have been doing something else!"

This is what Song Shaoqing couldn't understand: "We didn't do anything else, I was just explaining that we didn't do it on purpose..."

"Wait! Us? Who? You and Li Mingyue?" Song Yunqing was dumbfounded. "You didn't actually defend Li Mingyue, did you?"

Song Shaoqing hadn't expected her sister's focus to be so strange. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I just said, 'Li Tongxue was just being careless,' that's nothing, right?" Sighing, Song Yunqing was truly speechless. She leaned back, feeling utterly exhausted.

"Brother, don't say you're my brother when you leave. I don't have a brother that stupid!"

"What's wrong? What silly brother?" Lu Youyou came out to pour water and happened to overhear the end of the story.

Song Yunqing explained the situation in a straightforward manner, and Lu Youyou understood immediately.

This is a case of someone trying to scam someone, but Song Shaoqing didn't activate his tea-tasting radar, which displeased his girlfriend.

"Brother, you should quickly admit your mistake to your sister-in-law. Just say it like that, blah blah blah..."

Song Yunqing went through the poem and had Song Shaoqing memorize it word for word.

Song Shaoqing hadn't thought about it this way before, but now he finally understands.

He wasn't a playboy at all; Li Mingyue was just a slightly familiar stranger to him. Since his girlfriend minded, he would simply avoid contact with her in the future.

Li Mingyue was unaware that her second target had also failed, but after that incident, she never encountered Song Shaoqing again. The only exception was when she saw Song Shaoqing's car, and when she greeted him, the person inside ignored her.

She even felt that she and Lu Youyou were incompatible, otherwise why would things never go the way she hoped whenever she was associated with Lu Youyou?

Lu Youyou had always known that Li Mingyue had ulterior motives, but she was just too busy. If Li Mingyue didn't show up on her own, she wouldn't even remember her.

Time flies and it's the end of the semester again. There are always a few days when she's as busy as a spinning top. After finishing one exam, she immediately has to go to another building to take the exam for her second major.

That day, Lu Youyou was rushing to the exam venue on time when she suddenly bumped into an Asian man in his thirties.

The man kept looking back as he walked, muttering curses under his breath. Lu Youyou happened to be looking down at her watch when they bumped into each other.

"Fxck!" the man cursed under his breath, then immediately looked back. He saw something, and as soon as he regained his footing, he hurriedly left.

Lu Youyou dodged in time, taking two steps back to avoid being knocked down. As soon as she looked up, she saw Li Mingyue, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She called out a very common foreign name and hurriedly chased after him, while the middle-aged man who had just hit her seemed to walk even faster.

Li Mingyue stopped when she realized she couldn't catch up, and that's when she saw Lu Youyou.

Her face froze for a moment. She opened her mouth and tried to smile, but her lips were dry and chapped, and her face was pale and haggard. Her smile looked worse than a cry.

Lu Youyou didn't have time to pay attention to her, and Li Mingyue seemed to have nothing to say either, so she left in silence.

Before she knew it, it was her final semester in the United States. With graduation theses for two majors in front of her, Lu Youyou was so busy that she was practically invisible.

She was either in the library or in her dormitory, and spent the rest of her time in the laboratory. She did run into Yu Qingtian a few times, but Li Mingyue seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

Lu Youyou had almost erased this name from her memory when Li Mingyue suddenly came knocking on her door.

California winters are neither too hot nor too cold, but Li Mingyue was dressed very bulkily.

She looked worse than when we last met; her face was also a bit swollen, and she looked like she was sick.

"Lu, I'm sorry to bother you, I... I... uh..." She stammered for a long time before she could speak.

"Is there something you need? If not, I'm busy." Lu Youyou wasn't going to exchange pleasantries with her.

"Lu, um, could we find a quiet place? I have something I want to tell you."

Li Mingyue was clearly a little anxious, afraid that she would not have a chance to speak, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull her.
