Chapter 1: Transmigrating To The ’70s
“Shen Yun is closest to me. I was planning to save her first, then go save you.”
“Lu Qiaoge, I’ve been apologizing to you all along. What more do you want?”
516 Military Factory Staff Hospital.
On the hospital bed by the window sat a young woman with half-wet hair. At this moment, she silently looked at the man speaking to her in an impatient tone.
This man was her fiancé Liang Aishu.
And the Shen Yun he mentioned was his neighbor’s younger sister.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t expect that she had transmigrated.
From an apocalypse full of successive natural disasters to the 1970s of the last century.
Just this morning, the original host had quarreled with Liang Aishu and Shen Yun by Hongxing Lake behind the family courtyard. During the tussle, both young women fell into the water.
Liang Aishu jumped in right away, but the first one he saved was Shen Yun.
In the original host’s hazy awareness, Liang Aishu only cared about Shen Yun and ignored her struggling in the water.
It was the military representative Qin Hengzhi who happened to pass by the factory who jumped in and saved her.
Who could have thought that the person was no longer the original one.
“Lu Qiaoge, Xiao Yun is still in a coma. I need to go see her. You rest well.”
After saying this, he turned and walked away without looking back.
“Stop!”
A clear voice stopped Liang Aishu who was about to step forward.
He turned around and said indifferently: “Lu Qiaoge, don’t be unreasonable. I’m very tired today too.”
Lu Qiaoge carefully sized up the original host’s fiancé.
Tall and slender, with refined features.
He was a university graduate, now working as a technician in the factory’s production department, considered a young backbone.
But the original host didn’t like studying and barely made it to the first year of junior high before dropping out.
She was practically half-illiterate and currently unemployed at home.
The gap between them was growing wider.
Their families were the same.
Father Liang and Father Lu had both been workers before, but Father Liang had risen steadily and was now the union vice chairman of the factory.
Old Lu was still just a worker in Workshop One.
The Liang family had good conditions, while the Lu family was getting poorer.
Liang Aishu was becoming more and more impatient with the original host.
But the original host liked Liang Aishu; he was all in her eyes and heart.
Lu Qiaoge ignored his hurtful words and said coldly: “Liang Aishu, I only ask you one thing: before I arrived, what were you and Shen Yun saying by the lakeside?”
Today the original host was supposed to take the neighborhood committee’s recruitment examination, an opportunity Mother Lu had begged for with great difficulty.
But Shen Yun told her that Liang Aishu was waiting for her by the lake.
Shen Yun had gone ahead, and after much hesitation, the original host felt her sweetheart was more important, so she made an excuse and ran to the lakeside.
Thus, the original host saw Liang Aishu and Shen Yun talking intimately. She didn’t know what they were saying, but she saw Liang Aishu wiping Shen Yun’s tears.
In that scene, she seemed to be the superfluous one.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoge clenched her hand.
A pair of peach blossom eyes clear as water, but now full of indifference, and her delicate little face carried a hint of casualness.
She raised her eyebrow: “What, is this question hard to answer?”
Liang Aishu pursed his thin lips and gazed at Lu Qiaoge.
Their eyes met, and he was stunned for a moment.
Why was the way she looked at him full of indifference?
There was no longer the obsession from before?
It was like she had become a different person!
Liang Aishu frowned indifferently and denied faintly: “You’re overthinking it. We didn’t say anything.”
【Hee hee, he’s lying. I heard what he and that woman said.】
A thin voice suddenly rang in Lu Qiaoge’s ear.
Lu Qiaoge’s pupils contracted, then she looked around, shocked as she searched for the source of the voice.
【Hypocritical human, that woman was crying and saying: she loves him so much, and just thinking of him marrying Lu Qiaoge makes her suffer so much she can’t breathe.】
【Can’t breathe? Doesn’t that mean she’s suffocating to death? Sounds like a total lie!】
【But this man believed it. While wiping that woman’s tears, he said: You’re so sad, it makes my heart hurt too. But I’m already engaged, and we might get married soon. Xiao Yun, if there’s a next life, I will definitely marry you as my wife.】
Such a vivid voice—Lu Qiaoge couldn’t describe her feelings at this moment.
She masked the shock in her eyes and casually looked out the window.
Across from the window was a wall.
On the wall was written the slogan: Sailing the seas relies on the helmsman.
On top of the wall squatted a calico cat.
It was lazily looking toward her at this moment.
Almost instantly, Lu Qiaoge was certain it was this calico cat making the sound!
So, she could hear the cat’s inner voice, or beast language?
All these thoughts flashed by in an instant.
Lu Qiaoge suddenly approached Liang Aishu, her eyes seeming to spew fire: “No, you did talk. You confessed your heartfelt feelings to each other like tragic lovers. Shen Yun said she loves you so much, and you said you’d definitely marry Shen Yun as your wife in the next life.”
Liang Aishu was immediately stunned in place, his mind blank for a moment.
He and Xiao Yun were talking when Lu Qiaoge hadn’t arrived yet.
How could she possibly know?
Lu Qiaoge taunted: “You and Shen Yun are in love with each other, so why wait for the next life?”
“Since you love someone else, why not break off our engagement?”
Lu Qiaoge pressed forward step by step.
Liang Aishu, pale-faced, involuntarily retreated backward.
The old Lu couple standing at the doorway endured their anger as they watched the scene.
There were two other people in the ward, who now exchanged a subtle glance.
Liang Aishu denied embarrassedly: “No, we didn’t say those things.”
【Meow meow, even if he doesn’t admit it, it doesn’t matter. Representative Qin and his group of subordinates were ambushed in the grass by the lake at the time.】
Lu Qiaoge looked toward the calico cat. She finally understood why Representative Qin appeared so quickly by the lakeside to save people.
That spot by the lakeside was somewhat remote, and few people went there usually.
But why were they ambushed there?
Could it be they were carrying out a special task?
Obviously, even if it was a task, it had been disrupted by the two girls falling into the water.
Lu Qiaoge approached Liang Aishu again and said in a lowered, meaningful voice: “Liang Aishu, don’t deny it so quickly. Use your brain and think: why did Representative Qin happen to appear by the lakeside?”
As if recalling something, Liang Aishu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Lu Qiaoge continued: “Today I was supposed to go to the neighborhood committee for the recruitment examination, but Shen Yun said you were waiting for me by the lake with something important. Can you tell me what it was now?”
Liang Aishu’s mind was completely messed up, no longer as composed as before.
Today he and Xiao Yun both had the day off, and it was Xiao Yun who said she wanted to go play by the lake.
But who would have thought Xiao Yun would suddenly confess to him.
He had been backed into the wall by Lu Qiaoge and looked very embarrassed.
Liang Aishu couldn’t deny it, nor could he say it was Shen Yun’s suggestion. Most importantly, if Representative Qin had been there the whole time, he definitely heard everything.
So Liang Aishu said nothing.
Saying nothing was tantamount to admitting it.
So everything Lu Qiaoge was questioning was true?
The old Lu couple gritted their teeth, itching to beat up the heartless Liang Aishu.
The other two people in the ward had eyes full of gossip.
Everyone said Liang Aishu and Shen Yun were like siblings, but actually they were love brother and love sister?
