Chapter 945: That Woman Looks So Familiar, Like I've Seen Her Somewhere

~4 min read 730 words

Xiao Fu hurriedly apologized, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you're right. I was just too excited and said the wrong thing. If I try a bit harder, I might be able to gather the three bicycles and one radio; Duan Ruirui would surely be happy to hear that."

Xiao's eldest uncle and his family dared not respond to this, after all, they had promised their third son that they would help him find tickets after he returned.

At this moment, Liu Chuxue spoke up, "Cousin, what tickets are you still missing? Let me see if I can help."

Xiao Wanpeng glanced at her, used the public chopsticks to serve her a portion of food, and said, "Oh, stop it. Your wedding is even earlier than mine; where would you get tickets?"

Liu Chuxue ate the food Xiao Wanpeng had served her and said, "When I got engaged, Fu Yan Cheng had already gathered the three bicycles and one radio and sent them over. I have tickets awarded by the factory; even if they aren't the ones you want, you can trade them with others."

Xiao Wanpeng's eyes immediately lit up, "That's right! What tickets do you have?"

Liu Chuxue did not answer him directly; instead, she asked, "What tickets are you still missing?"

Hearing her words, Xiao Wanpeng was convinced that Liu Chuxue must have more than one ticket, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, brother. I'm still missing a sewing machine ticket."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, "If you don't need it, brother won't insist on the ticket itself; I'll convert it into cash for you later."

Liu Chuxue was amused by his expression, "Converting it to cash is unnecessary. Duan Ruirui is my good friend; consider this my wedding gift to you both."

Hearing Liu Chuxue's words, Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, Liu Chuxue's wedding date had been agreed upon beforehand, but the eldest sister-in-law, to consider the greater good, pushed Wanpeng's wedding date to August. It would be false to say they weren't moved, after all, everyone was somewhat superstitious to some degree.

On New Year's Eve, neither family left; they stayed up with the old man to see in the new year and all rested there. However, there weren't enough rooms, so the younger generation had to sleep separately by gender.

What Liu Chuxue didn't expect was that the next morning, when she went out with her cousin to set off firecrackers, she met Lu Weijun, "Why are you here?"

Lu Weijun stepped forward and saluted Liu Chuxue with a military salute, "Comrade Liu Chuxue, thank you for saving me that day. If you ever need my help in the future, just speak up, of course, excluding anything illegal."

Liu Chuxue waved her hand and said, "It was a trivial matter; no need to dwell on it. Besides, what you do is inherently great and admirable. I am honored to be able to help; I believe anyone else would have done the same."

There were others accompanying Lu Weijun, so he couldn't say much more, "Then you carry on; I have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After walking a considerable distance, the person following Lu Weijun spoke up, "Weijun, why does that woman look somewhat familiar? It's like I've seen her somewhere?"

"Not to mention, that Miss is truly beautiful. I wonder if she has a partner?"

The words had barely fallen when he received a slap from Lu Weijun, "Think less about things that don't concern you. She is already engaged; stop harboring those thoughts you shouldn't have."

"Wait, that's not right, Weijun. Why are you talking so much today? No, no, you are indeed acting strangely today. Oh, could it be that you've taken a liking to that Miss?"

"No, I am definitely sure I've seen that Miss somewhere."

Lu Weijun gave no chance for thought, "Enough. Your brain isn't good to begin with, so stop torturing it. Didn't you say you had something to say? Lead the way quickly."

"Alright, alright, I won't think about it anymore. Let's hurry; they've been waiting for us for a long time."

Near the corner, Lu Weijun deliberately turned his head to look in Liu Chuxue's direction. A fleeting look of affection flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden.
