Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 828

Chapter 828: Chapter 701: Before Departure

Zhou Jiao sent people off, her steps light as she walked back. Lovers finally becoming a couple is one of life’s great blessings, and she counts this as a good deed.

Qiao Na saw Zhou Jiao approaching and ran a few steps forward, "What’s making you so happy? Come quickly, let’s go see the excitement at the school next door."

Hear about excitement! Zhou Jiao quickly retracted the hand she was grabbed by, "What’s happening now? Little stars in the sky blinking endlessly because of my longing?"

Qiao Na let out a light laugh, rolling her eyes at Zhou Jiao, "As if I don’t know you? This time it’s about current affairs commentary. Several school students are giving speeches over in the small woods. I heard they’re top students in literature. How about it, is this worth a trip for you?"

Zhou Jiao looked at the other person with a headache. Compared to current affairs speeches, she’d rather listen to those harmless songs of praise, at least they cleverly flattered those in power aside from expressing longing.

"Hurry up, stop procrastinating, a lot of people have already gone."

Zhou Jiao quickly grabbed her hand, "We have class soon, and we’re setting off in a few days. Isn’t it better to seize the moment for a few experimental questions? When else?"

Qiao Na anxiously stretched her neck to look outside, hurriedly saying, "That’s not urgent, even if we’re late we won’t miss it."

Zhou Jiao immediately knew she was planning to skip class in the afternoon, making it more reasonable.

In a gentle tone, she persuaded, "They’ll surely discuss it when they return, there’s no need to go on-site. Let’s prioritize our studies now, we’ll have another chance to listen in next time."

Qiao Na rolled her eyes, "Fine! Then I’ll first go to the bathroom."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, not bothering to persuade further. When someone’s stubborn, it’s like rain or a bride who wants out. She had done her part, but she wasn’t their parent and couldn’t control everything.

Along the route back to the dormitory building, Zhou Jiao indeed saw some people heading out of the campus. She gave a mocking smile, thinking how unaware they were of the bigger world, even her cousin knows students should study instead of being drawn to nonsense.

At the end, she found Zhang Guoqing waving at her, but she didn’t bring up the matter, fearing that his enthusiastic nature might make him step in and stop them.

"Have they left already? What’s the story?"

With a slight smile, Zhou Jiao nodded slightly, "She’s having trouble letting go of Lin Zi and said she’d go to Hai City."

"That’s great! I’ll inform Lin Zi not to leave school for a short period."

"Remember who that girl is, she has her ways of finding Lin Zi. Just let nature take its course."

As soon as Zhang Guoqing heard, he knew she didn’t favor too much interference, and quickly repeated Yi Jiefang’s words. He also expressed his concerns.

After hearing, Zhou Jiao nodded, "Alright then, give him a tip but don’t let him give random advice. Lin Zi has to find a solution himself. Things easily gained aren’t cherished!"

"Makes sense. Then shall we go upstairs and write a letter?"

Zhou Jiao was looking forward to it, "I’m just about to take a break, call me when it’s class time."

Thinking about recent sleepless nights, Zhang Guoqing sheepishly rubbed his nose. Seeing his wife’s face, aside from a bit of tiredness, everything else was fine, he quickly led the way diligently up front.

In the room, Zhang Guoqing poured hot water for her to wash her face and feet, urging her to get some sleep. Seeing her quietly close her eyes lying there, he finally sat down at the desk to write a letter.

The sound of footsteps in the corridor outside, and voices from downstairs, gathered to make it difficult for Zhou Jiao to fall asleep. Especially before lying down for a bit, downstairs came the yelling voice of Yi Jiefang.

She opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Guoqing gesturing outside the window, laughed heartily, "You go downstairs first, by the way, post the letter. When class time comes, I’ll head straight to the classroom."

Zhang Guoqing hesitated for a moment, then shouted at his mates downstairs, "Wait for me!" His voice probably could be heard even at the school gate.
