Return to the 1982 Staff Compound

Chapter 365 Sweet Honey

Director Jiang smiled and said, "I'm on a business trip, so I took the little guy out for a walk..."

Qiu Huoming looked at the cute little girl and said, "Director Jiang, she can't be..."

"My daughter has not yet been registered and her nickname is Dudu," said Director Jiang.

Qiu Huoming was surprised and said, "I thought she was your granddaughter!"

Director Jiang's face darkened. "What are you talking about? The country advocates late marriage and late childbearing..."

"Director Jiang, where is Auntie? Why are you the only one here? Also, why is Dudu in Beijing?"

The little girl called out appropriately, "Dudu is on a business trip..."

Director Jiang touched the little girl's head and glanced at him, "So many questions!"

Not far away, an airport staff member called out, "Old Jiang."

Director Jiang held Dudu in one hand and patted Qiu Huoming's shoulder with the other hand. "I'm a temporary transfer here. I still have work to do. When I leave, remember to write a letter!"

Qiu Huoming looked at his back and muttered to himself, it turns out that he is helping with work here at the airport and can also take care of the children. It must be said that in this society at this time, there is an atmosphere in which everyone is very good to children.

When he was a child, he often went to Qiu Jianshe's office to do his homework. His elder sister and younger sister would sometimes eat, drink, and take a bath at Chen Suniang's textile factory...

Just as I was thinking about all sorts of things, the boarding announcement sounded.

Qiu Huoming turned around and followed the passengers who had already lined up and walked slowly forward...

After getting on the plane, he sat in the aisle this time. He leaned back in his chair and listened to the window passenger exclaiming after the plane took off. Qiu Huoming smiled. This passenger must be taking a plane for the first time...

In such a short time, Qiu Huoming has already taken several flights. This was something he would not have dared to think about before. He still remembers the time when he only had 50 cents in his pocket. In just over a year...

As the plane took off, the pressure in my ears gradually increased.

Qiu Huoming swallowed his saliva and then closed his eyes. He had gone out early in the morning and only now did he feel sleepy.

The plane finally arrived in Guangzhou.

Qiu Huoming walked to the taxi carrying a backpack and two large boxes. Yangcheng has made every effort to ensure that there are always taxis available at the airport, and this policy also benefited Qiu Huoming.

After waiting for just a few minutes, I got on a small red bus.

"South China University of Technology..." Qiu Huoming gave the address skillfully.

As the vehicle drove out of the airport area, familiar scenery came into Qiu Huoming's eyes.

He rolled down the car window, and a wave of heat hit him. Qiu Huoming's mouth curled up. Familiar taste, familiar recipe, tall trees on both sides with tangled roots...

"Handsome boy, are you a college student?" The driver looked at him in the rearview mirror.

Qiu Huoming responded, "Yes, I'm still a freshman."

"It's amazing! You can take a plane in your freshman year..." the driver said enviously.

Qiu Huoming laughed and said, "What's so good about a plane? It's not as good as your car..."

The two exchanged a few sentences, and the driver gradually stopped talking when he saw that Qiu Huoming had no desire to chat.

There was light music playing on the radio.

Qiu Huoming leaned back in his chair with his backpack on his legs, his heart burning with anxiety.

He was about to meet Zhao Jiamin. Her every frown and smile was in his mind, extremely clear...

The car finally stopped at the school gate. Qiu Huoming paid the fare and walked in carrying two boxes.

It was afternoon at this time. The students had finished their meal but had not yet started their classes. There were not many pedestrians on the road. Qiu Huoming, carrying his suitcase, went straight to the North 1 dormitory.

When I got downstairs, I realized that I was still carrying a lot of bags.

He couldn't help laughing, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard someone calling him not far away, "Ahuo?"

Qiu Huoming put down the box in his hand and turned around.

At the nearby intersection, Zhao Jiamin was walking slowly towards the dormitory gate. She was wearing a plain white dress, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and she was holding a popsicle in her hand, only half of it was left.

When Zhao Jiamin saw that it was indeed Qiu Huoming, she screamed and ran towards him holding up her skirt with one hand.

Qiu Huoming stretched out his arms...

He put his arms around Zhao Jiamin's slender waist, "Amin, I miss you so much..." Qiu Huoming whispered in her ear.

Zhao Jiamin's face turned red, and water started dripping from the popsicle in her hand.

Qiu Huoming looked up, took a bite, and put half of the popsicle into his mouth in one go.

The cold popsicle swirled in his mouth, and Qiu Huoming suddenly leaned over...

Zhao Jiamin was caught off guard and was kissed by him.

I don’t know how long it took, Qiu Huoming moved back an inch, and asked, “Is it delicious?” His voice was a little hoarse.

Zhao Jiamin came back to her senses and looked at him angrily, "You..."

"I only know how to bully you..." Qiu Huoming said what she wanted to say.

"After going out, I've learned bad things." The sweet taste of the ice melting in Zhao Jiamin's mouth still lingers in the aftertaste.

Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Amin, I brought you a lot of things..."

Qiu Huoming directly handed her one of the boxes and said, "The things in here are all yours..."

Zhao Jiamin was surprised: "So many?"

"That's right, I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane."

Zhao Jiamin touched Qiu Huoming's forehead with some distress, "Go back and take a shower and rest for a while, I'll come find you after school..."

Qiu Huoming nodded, "Then I'll go back and I'll carry the box up for you."

Zhao Jiamin pushed him and said, "It's just a box. I can carry it. Go back quickly, or I'll be angry..."

Qiu Huoming quickly moved closer to her and kissed her again, then he responded contentedly: "Okay, I'm leaving..."

Zhao Jiamin looked at Qiu Huoming, who seemed to have won the lottery, with a smile on her face, "Be good, go back and have some rest..."

Qiu Huoming carried the remaining boxes and waved at her, "See you tonight..."

Zhao Jiamin nodded and said "hmm".

After she brought the box to the dormitory, her roommate asked her in surprise, "Amin, why is your face so red? Is the box very heavy?"

Zhao Jiamin nodded and said, "It's very heavy."

"Why are your lips so red?"

Zhao Jiamin touched the corner of her lips and said, "I ate a popsicle..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the image of Qiu Huoming biting the popsicle just now appeared in his mind, and his face turned redder.

Fortunately, most people in the dormitory building were resting at this time, and probably no one saw what happened just now.

In the East 2 Dormitory Building, Qiu Huoming packed his things amid the chattering greetings of his roommates. Dandan was jumping up and down, curious about the boxes. Every time something was taken out, he would come over to take a look.

Qiu Huoming also brought some gifts for his roommates this time. Everyone in the dormitory was happy and harmonious. Even Dandan got some dried fish from abroad.

Dandan was biting a piece of dried fish and tearing it hard. Qiu Huoming then took the basin and towel to the bathroom to take a bath.

The bathroom was empty at this time.

The heat wave hit from the window, Qiu Huoming quickly took off his clothes, and the water from the shower head rushed down...

Qiu Huoming felt at ease with everything familiar around him.

I took a shower and washed my clothes, and when I returned to the dormitory, it was almost time for class.

Wen Yuanyi put on his schoolbag, turned around and asked, "Class monitor, are you going to class this afternoon?"

Chen Xi patted him and said, "You're overthinking it. The squad leader must have a good sleep..."

Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Yes, I am not tired physically, but I am a little tired mentally..."

Yang Shijun was the last one to leave and considerately closed the door behind him.

Qiu Huoming bent down, grabbed Dandan in his hands, sat down on the edge of the bed, kicked off his slippers, and lay back...

Dandan called out, and Qiu Huoming reached out and touched its head, "Dandan, have you missed me recently?"

"Meow……"

Qiu Huoming laughed and let go of his hand. Dandan didn't leave either. He just curled up beside him, turned over and snored.

There were footsteps coming and going in the corridor, and soon, everything returned to silence.

Dandan stopped snoring, and Qiu Huoming, lying on his back, had fallen asleep...

The weather was still hot after school. Although the sun was setting, the sunlight was still strong.

Zhao Jiamin said goodbye to her roommates with her schoolbag on her back and walked straight towards the East 2 Dormitory.

As soon as I arrived downstairs of the dormitory building, I saw Qiu Huoming coming out of the dormitory management office.

The dormitory manager was holding a few snacks in his hand and was looking at the two of them with a smile.

"Ahuo." Zhao Jiamin shouted.

Qiu Huoming ran over excitedly. He had taken a shower and had a nap. Although he was young, he didn't look tired at all after such a short while. Instead, he looked so handsome that it was unbelievable.

When Zhao Jiamin looked at him, her heart softened.

Qiu Huoming walked up to her and held her hand. "Amin, are you hungry? Let's go to the Lakeside Hall to eat, okay?"

Zhao Jiamin nodded, "Well, you can eat whatever you want."

Qiu Huoming lowered his head, "Anything is fine?"

Zhao Jiamin stretched out her hand and pushed his face away, "Ahuo! There are so many people here!" She could already hear some anger in her voice.

Qiu Huoming immediately became serious, "I'm just thinking about the menu. Let's go, I'll think while I walk..."

Zhao Jiamin was both angry and amused, and twisted the back of his hand hard.

A pair of young lovers walked away, playing and fighting.

The dormitory manager ate the snacks brought by Qiu Huoming, looked at the young and lively students, and drank a sip of tea leisurely.

This life is so comfortable that even if a god came, I wouldn’t change it.

Time flies by, and it's almost the end of the semester...

Qiu Huoming will take the promotion exam with the sophomores this time. If he passes, he will be a junior next semester...

He had already read through all the textbooks, and he wanted to take the entrance examination directly to the senior year. As soon as he mentioned this to his homeroom teacher, Mr. Xu, he was severely criticized by him, "You have to take one step at a time. It's not good for you to take too big a step. You can skip a grade this time, which is already a special approval. You have to show your results first..."

Teacher Xu looked at him unhappily, "Otherwise, how are those teachers who took responsibility for you going to explain to the other students?"

"By the way, even if you have the ability to graduate immediately, you still have to take it step by step. Have you paved the way for the rest of your life? Don't be impatient..."

Qiu Huoming nodded awkwardly, "Teacher Xu, I understand, I just mentioned this casually..."

Teacher Xu glared at him and said, "If you fail this exam, I will put you back in school and retrain you. You will have to start from the freshman year and all the privileges I gave you will be taken back..."

Qiu Huoming shuddered and said immediately, "Don't worry, we must take the top three..."

Teacher Xu said "hmm" and left with his hands behind his back.

The exam is the day after tomorrow, and Qiu Huoming feels calm inside. He is very sure of the knowledge he has learned that it is his own and he will not lose it.

Feeling relieved, he followed Teacher Xu's example, put his hands behind his back, walked out of the office building and headed towards the Red Building.

In South China University of Technology, Qiu Huoming is a weird existence. His grades are so good that even if someone criticizes him, it will be quickly drowned out by more voices of praise.

Today is the day that Zhao Jiamin takes her art exam. They have been taking the exam at the Red Mansion since early morning, and judging by the time, it is almost over.

Qiu Huoming took big strides and rushed to the Red Building, just when this group of students were coming downstairs.

This group of people had become immune to Qiu Huoming. A few of them glanced at him and left.

Zhao Jiamin was carrying a painting folder on her back and a wooden toolbox in her hands. There was a streak of residual paint on her forehead. The sudden presence of such a mark on her fair skin made her look adorable.

Qiu Huoming walked over and naturally took the toolbox from her hand. "How did you do on the exam?"

Zhao Jiamin smiled and said, "Anyway, it's definitely not the last few..."

Qiu Huoming reached out and touched the paint on her forehead. "It's a little dry, I can't wipe it off..."

Zhao Jiamin exclaimed, turned around and ran into the building, "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already run away.

Qiu Huoming stood there blankly with the box in his hand. Zhao Jiamin's personality has become more lively now. The previous quietness was all an illusion...

Just as I was thinking about something, Zhao Jiamin's figure appeared again from the corridor entrance, and it was obvious that she had washed her face.

The paint was washed off, a few strands of her bangs were wet, and Zhao Jiamin walked towards him with a smile on her face.

Qiu Huoming's thoughts suddenly disappeared, and the girl was the only thing left in his eyes.

Some people say that the best relationship is when both parties can be their true selves without wearing masks...

He stretched out his hand, and Zhao Jiamin naturally took it.

They held hands tightly, "I want to eat popsicles..." Zhao Jiamin suggested.

"Okay, add another portion of red bean paste." Qiu Huoming said with a smile.

"How do you know I still want to eat this?" Zhao Jiamin asked.

"It's me who wants to eat it. Oh, so you want to eat it too?" Qiu Huoming pretended to be surprised.

"Okay, sister is in a good mood today, I'll treat you." Zhao Jiamin leaned on Qiu Huoming's shoulder, feeling the soft touch. Qiu Huoming swallowed his saliva and smiled, "Thank you, sister."

Zhao Jiamin snorted coldly, "For a bite of food, you're even willing to call me sister..."

"If you give me food, I can always call you sister..."

Zhao Jiamin's ears turned red, "I won't tell you anymore."

"Amin, when can we get married?" Qiu Huoming asked.

"At least you have to graduate..."

"I will graduate soon." Qiu Huoming said confidently.

"Then you should get married first. I still have three years..."

"you……"

This was the first time Zhao Jiamin saw Qiu Huoming unable to respond to the conversation. She was immediately amused, her eyes full of smiles. She tightened her fingers around him, "Ahuo, you are all in my heart..."

This was probably the first time she had said something like this.

Qiu Huoming slowed down his pace, something in his heart was melting, sweetness filled his brain and body, he whispered: "Amin, me too..."
