The registration for the matchmaking event was in full swing, and even Qiulan couldnât escape her elder sisterâs enthusiasm and was forced to sign up. However, she looked a bit listless and not too happy.
Seeing this, Cheng Su thought, could it be that Qiulan is still thinking about that kid Ning Ge?
Ning Geâs background is right there, and he hasnât done anything for Qiulan, so this girlâs thoughts are likely just wishful thinking.
Cheng Su thought about it and said to her, "Actually, signing up and having some fun is fine too. Iâve heard that among this batch of young men, there are quite a few good ones. Apparently, there are even some platoon leaders and squad leaders who arenât married yet. If you fancy one of them, it wouldnât be a bad match."
Qiulan forced a smile and said, "I havenât thought about getting married yet."
Cheng Su understood this but said, "Youâre twenty now, right? Even if you donât want to get married, you should find someone. Our youth is limited, so donât miss out on a good man."
Qiulan kept her head down and said nothing.
Cheng Su continued, "When a woman marries, she wants clothes, food, and someone who understands her. If you want to marry someone you like, itâs not impossible, but it will undoubtedly be difficult, and you never know if he truly has a place for you in his heart. We women are most afraid of unrequited love. So why waste your youth?"
Qiulanâs face turned a little pale.
"Go and have a look; maybe youâll meet your destined one there!" Cheng Su patted her shoulder and said, "Itâs just for fun, not like you have to marry the first one you see."
Qiulan didnât know what to think, only murmured a low agreement.
Cheng Su was also thinking about Ying Xiaoya, wondering about her progress with Xiao Pinshan, so she went over to the factory.
Ying Xiaoya was happy to see her; it had been a while since she last saw Cheng Su, and she had a lot to tell her!
Seeing Xiao Pinshan there too, Cheng Suâs mind turned, and she smiled, saying, "I have some good news for you, but I donât know if youâd be interested."
"What good news?" Ying Xiaoyaâs eyes widened.
"Well, not exactly big news, but Qi Taiguoâs unit is holding a matchmaking event for bachelors. If we family members have any single and familiar girls, we can sign them up to join in. If you hit it off, itâs a good thing. So, Iâm asking if youâre interested in joining, and if so, Iâll sign you up!" Cheng Su said while watching her, not forgetting to glance at Xiao Pinshan from the corner of her eye.
As expected, their faces changed as soon as she finished speaking.
Ying Xiaoya instinctively looked at Xiao Pinshan, whose smile froze slightly and whose brow furrowed.
"Manager Xiao, what do you think about this event?" Cheng Su probed with a smile.
Xiao Pinshan smiled and said, "Oh, it sounds nice. Xiao Ya should sign up too; youâre not getting any younger!"
Ying Xiaoyaâs face turned slightly pale; she pressed her lips together and said, "Alright, Susu, help me sign up; Iâm going to find a partner!"
The remark was clearly made in anger.
But Xiao Pinshan just smiled, and that smile was exceedingly stiff.
"There should be a lot of girls signing up, right?" Ying Xiaoya asked Cheng Su, and seeing her nod, she then turned to Xiao Pinshan and jokingly asked, "Brother Xiao, what type do you like? Iâll also find you a good girl to snatch from those soldiers."
Xiao Pinshan forced a smile and said, "No need, my family has introduced someone for me!"
Ying Xiaoyaâs smile froze immediately, staring blankly at him, tears gradually welling up in her eyes.
Xiao Pinshan avoided her gaze, saying, "I need to get back to work!"
Ying Xiaoya watched his rapidly departing back, unable to keep the tears from falling.
Cheng Su watched and couldnât help but sigh, "Why bother!"
