To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Department welcome party.

The hosts were Yu Chengzhi and another girl.

He's quite good at getting by.

That's right, it fits his public image.

Lin Qingping and her dormitory classmates sat in their class's area to watch the show. Each classmate had a number to be drawn as a lucky audience member. If you were drawn, you might receive a souvenir or you might have to play a small game. Of course, you would also receive a gift after completing the game.

The party is nearing its end, and this is the final round of the lucky draw.

Lin Qingping never thought she would be the one to win the lottery. In both her lives, she had relied on hard work and diligence. Winning the lottery was something that would never happen to her!

However, unexpectedly, the host loudly announced "number 68".

Lin Qingping didn't even realize that number 68 was her, but her roommate in the next dorm was shouting, "Ah! I'm number 67!"

"I'm 69!"

"Who's number 68? Is it one of us?"

"It's Lin Qingping!"

Lin Qingping then realized that the number looked familiar, and it might really be hers...

She took out the number and looked at it; it really was...

The host on stage asked, "Which student is number 68? Please come up to the stage!"

"Here, here!" Her roommate had already pushed her out.

Lin Qingping was also very happy. She took her number and went on stage. Who wouldn't be happy with such good luck!

And what a load of rubbish she won!

They're actually going to sing a song!

Aren't the lucky audience members all lucky people? Why is there a punishment?

Now that she's on stage with so many people watching, she can't just slink off the stage like that. At the very least, she was a powerful female CEO in her past life, and singing a song at the annual party is a tradition. Whether it's good or bad, the employees will just applaud anyway.

She was just unsure what songs were popular in this era, and couldn't very well sing songs from decades later.

Just to be on the safe side, she sang "My Motherland," a song that, if I remember correctly, dates back to the 1950s.

This is a song that everyone can sing. As soon as she sang the first line, the students below started singing along, and her performance got better and better as she sang.

However, who knew that someone would deliberately cause her trouble at this time!

The host was supposed to be backstage at this point, but Yu Chengzhi actually came to the front to sing along, and he even stood next to her.

At this point, everyone is singing in unison, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to quit singing, would it?

Despite feeling disgusted by the person next to me, I managed to finish the song.

After finishing his song, he put down the microphone and immediately left the stage.

After the performances, there will be a dance party.

As the music started, cheerful classmates went off to dance regardless of whether they knew how or not. Their roommates were also discussing it, with Lu Xiaoxue and Zhong Xiaoxiao saying they wouldn't dance.

Just as Lin Qingping was about to say that she would be their male partner and teach them how to dance, Yu Chengzhi came over.

"Lin Qingping, may I have this dance with you?" Yu Chengzhi bent down and extended his hand, making a particularly gentlemanly gesture.

"Wow! Yu Chengzhi! Lin Qingping, hurry!"

"Hurry up! The most handsome guy in our department wants you to dance!"

The roommates all started to tease them.

That's right, Yu Chengzhi has been promoted to the new campus heartthrob in the past two weeks, but unfortunately, no one knows how filthy his thoughts are beneath that facade!

Lin Qingping didn't want to jump. Her face was cold, and the words of refusal were already on the tip of her tongue when she heard a voice, "Lin Qingping?"

Gu Juncheng's voice!

She turned her head and saw that, sure enough, in the dim light, Gu Juncheng's tall and upright figure was just a few steps away, and he was continuing to walk towards her!

"Why are you here?" she asked happily, running straight towards Gu Juncheng.

Seeing her excited expression as she arrived, Gu Juncheng asked, "Did you have fun?"

"It's alright!" I should be quite happy if it weren't for that fly, Yu Chengzhi.

"Can I go home now?" In the dim light, his expression was unclear.

"Okay! Time to go home!" Lin Qingping turned around and waved to her roommates. "I'm going back now. Have fun."

Seeing Gu Juncheng, she couldn't hide her joy.

After she left, her roommates asked each other, "Is that Lin Qingping's lover?"

"Right? Otherwise, why would you be so intimate?"

Yu Chengzhi watched Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng's departing figures with disdain: I thought they were following someone important! They really are just some dark-skinned peasants!

Gu Juncheng has dark skin, that's a fact. As a soldier born in the countryside and in this simple era, he didn't pay much attention to his appearance, which is why Yu Chengzhi looked down on him.

Yu Chengzhi secretly followed the two to see what was going on, and to his surprise, he saw Lin Qingping walking away with a child outside the auditorium.

Yu Chengzhi sneered. This child is at least five or six years old. Five or six years ago, Lin Qingping was only fifteen years old. She definitely wasn't born to her!

So she really is going to be someone's stepmother?

While sneering, he also felt that Lin Qingping's outcome was somewhat related to him. Back then, he was afraid that she, a country girl, would pester him, so he left without saying goodbye. Lin Qingping's prospects in the countryside must have been bad. What else could she do but marry an old man?

But I never expected Lin Qingping to be so ambitious and actually get into the Capital University for him. How could this old man be worthy of her?

Yu Chengzhi frowned, somewhat troubled. After all, it was his own fault for what he had done, and now she was barely worthy of him...

Lin Qingping had already happily led Gu Juncheng home, completely unaware of Yu Chengzhi's many inner thoughts.

Lin Qingping's second sister had already said she would stay at school today, so the three of them walked home along the road from school to home without waiting for her.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening. A cool breeze was blowing, and the air was filled with the fragrance of unknown flowers, which was very pleasant.

Gu Juncheng kept a straight face and didn't say anything, but Lin Qingping didn't find anything unusual. He's always like this, isn't he?

She was actually quite cheerful. He wasn't talkative, so she chatted with Zhiyuan all the way, chattering away. She was in a great mood. When she saw a popsicle vendor by the roadside, she pulled Zhiyuan to buy one and asked him if he wanted one.

Of course he doesn't want to!

When did he start eating these snacks? Besides, did he look like he was in the mood for snacks today?

However, it seems she was just asking politely, and readily told the old man selling popsicles she wanted two.

Gu Juncheng's expression immediately turned even uglier.

Lin Qingping bought a mung bean drink, and Zhiyuan bought a milk drink. The two walked ahead, eating as they went, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Zhiyuan turned around unintentionally and noticed something was wrong. He quietly tugged at Lin Qingping and said, "Uncle Gu seems unhappy."

Lin Qingping: ? ? ?

Really? It's that obvious? Even the little kids could feel it, how come she didn't?

She stepped back to his side, carefully observing his expression; it was still that same stern, expressionless face.

Is he angry?

She asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Juncheng pursed his lips and remained silent.

Well, it seems like she's really angry...
