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

I held her and put her back on the bed.

In her daze, Lin Qingping murmured, "Gu Juncheng, why have you become so shameless?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

After laying her down to sleep, he lay down beside her.

With the lights off, the only sounds beside me were her even breathing, and outside the window, the chirping of insects could be heard from somewhere.

Gu Juncheng gently put his arm around her and whispered, "Lin Qingping, I'm fine now. The blood clot in my head is gone."

However, Lin Qingping did not hear it.

The next day, Lin Qingping woke up when the factory's pre-work bell rang.

When she woke up, Gu Juncheng was no longer beside her.

If it weren't for his luggage still being by the bed, and the math problems he had helped her solve still lying on the small table beside the bed, she would have thought she had just had a dream, and that he had never been there...

Oh, and her lower abdomen is oily, so it looks like someone has already applied medicine to it.

However, even after someone applied medicine to her, she didn't wake up!

She's sleeping so soundly!

But there wasn't much time for her to daydream; we were about to be late!

She quickly washed her face and ran to the factory area.

Even when I strain, my stomach still hurts, and it seems to hurt even more than yesterday. But I can't worry about that now, I have to go to work!

She ran straight to the garment workshop, where Gu Youlian looked at her in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I come?" This question...

Gu Youlian laughed and said, "I've already asked for leave for you! You two were still talking late into the night last night, I thought you wouldn't be able to get up today!"

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? ?

What? They can hear them talking next door?

Seeing her blank expression, Gu Youlian assumed she was shy, nudged her, and teased, "What's wrong with that? Absence makes the heart grow fonder! You and my brother only see each other a few times a year, it's normal for young couples to be like this!"

No, sis, do you want to hear what you're saying? Can you really hear us talking at night?

"I...we talked about math problems all night!" Lin Qingping tried to explain.

Gu Youlian had a look on her face that said, "You don't need to explain, I understand." "Okay, okay, let's do math problems."

Lin Qingping: ...

Look at how you believe it!

"Sis, we really are just doing practice problems!" Why is it that even telling the truth doesn't earn us any trust? Is there really no sincerity left in this world?

Gu Youlian didn't even bother listening. "Even if it's not about doing homework, it doesn't matter! You're a legally married couple!"

Lin Qingping was speechless. "But we really..."

Gu Youlian: "Alright, whatever you've been doing, you've all worked hard. I've already asked for leave for you, so go back and rest."

"Never mind, I'm already here, I'm not going to rest, I'm going to work!" Lin Qingping entered the workshop.

After working for half the morning, Lin Qingping was asking questions about the cutting of a new sample garment when someone called her, "Master Lin, someone outside is looking for you."

"Looking for me? Male or female?" Could it be Gu Juncheng again?

"female."

"A woman?" Lin Qingping assumed it was Mei Li and happily went out.

As it turned out, the person standing at the workshop entrance was Lu Meizhi.

Lu Meizhi was still dressed beautifully this time, but she didn't wear any of her designs.

She didn't know why Lu Meizhi had come here to find her.

“Sister…” Lu Meizhi said softly.

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? ?

What kind of show is this?!

She really wanted to say, "If you want to act, why don't you just go find Gu Juncheng to act in for you? Why do you always come to her for roles?"

"Sister, I've finally found you..." Lu Meizhi said, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful. "I've come to ask you for a favor. Could you please stop bothering my husband?"

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? ? ?

Never underestimate the influence of gossip in any era.

Lu Meizhi's words were like a bomb thrown into a calm lake; everyone in the workshop who heard them turned their attention to her.

Those who did not hear it also learned about it through whispers and word of mouth.

So, without realizing it, everyone in the workshop quietly moved forward to get the best spots to listen to the gossip.

Lin Qingping laughed, "I don't understand what you mean by that."

Lu Meizhi started sobbing and wiping away her tears, "Sister, you've already divorced Brother Gu, why are you still clinging to him? He's going to marry me!"

This era is actually relatively conservative, and issues related to conduct are very serious problems.

Let alone affairs and mistresses, even divorce can become explosive news.

So, Lin Qingping had already heard the employees behind her gossiping: "What? Master Lin and her husband got divorced?"

"We had no idea! Isn't her husband a soldier?"

Lin Qingping simply smiled, "Oh? I divorced him? When?"

Lu Meizhi cried very loudly, deliberately so that everyone could hear her...

"You got divorced because you thought he was too far away, and because you couldn't stand the loneliness and hooked up with other men! Now, he finally has someone who loves him, and he's about to marry me, and you're clinging to him again. Why are you like this? Can't you just live your own life peacefully?"

"Really?" Lin Qingping asked her with a smile, "I dislike him? I'm with someone else? Who told you that? Did Gu Juncheng tell you?"

"Yes! It was Brother Gu who told me! Brother Gu is so wronged! You may dislike him, but I don't! I just beg you to let him go, okay? He's such a kind person. If you keep bothering him, he won't be able to bear ignoring you. But he's going to marry me!" Lu Meizhi spoke louder and louder, wishing the whole room could hear her.

Indeed, the entire factory was quickly alarmed.

The people in the workshop all gathered around, stunned into silence by this gossip, and people from other workshops in the factory also came over after hearing about it.

As more and more people gathered, Lu Meizhi became increasingly audacious, "Sister Lin, although divorce isn't something to look good on the outside, Brother Gu and I won't tell anyone. Just live your life and don't bother us, okay?"

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? What? You won't tell anyone? Then what are you doing now? The whole world knows! Is it really necessary?

Lin Qingping smiled and looked behind Lu Meizhi, then asked the figure standing there, "What do you say, Gu Juncheng?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Meizhi's expression changed drastically. She turned around abruptly and saw Gu Juncheng standing not far behind her with a gloomy face.

Lu Meizhi's legs went weak and she could barely stand. She stammered, "Brother Gu... what are you... what are you doing here?"

Gu Juncheng walked over step by step, past Lu Meizhi, until he reached Lin Qingping's side.
