Chapter 176 It’s not good for others to see
As soon as the school bell rang, Ran Qiuye hurriedly packed up her things. She had to go to the steel mill gate early today to help Teacher Li. Teacher Li's daughter was getting married, and she wanted to find a reliable chef to take charge of the cooking. So, she thought of the famous "spoon god" in the factory - Sha Zhu.
Ran Qiuye tightened her cotton jacket, as it was still a little chilly in the early spring evening. When she reached the gate of the steel mill, workers were walking out in twos and threes. She immediately saw the tall figure of Sha Zhu, who was chatting and laughing with a few of his co-workers.
"Shazhu!" Ran Qiuye raised her voice and called out. Shazhu turned around and smiled immediately: "Hey, Teacher Ran, why are you here? What a rare guest!"
"I need your help with something." Ran Qiuye went straight to the point. Before Sha Zhu could respond, a sarcastic voice sounded next to him.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Ran, the cultural figure in our factory? Why did he come to the factory in person to look for someone? Who is it that is so honorable?" Xu Damao, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Ran Qiuye with squinted eyes, with a wretched face.
"What's it got to do with you!" Sha Zhu hated Xu Damao's behavior the most and couldn't help but retort.
"Hey, Shazhu, who are you protecting? Everyone in this factory knows that Teacher Ran likes you. She's always trying to get close to you, and you don't appreciate it?" Xu Damao deliberately spoke very loudly, and the workers around him stopped to watch the fun, and some even joined in the fun.
Ran Qiuye's face turned red, she felt embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at Xu Damao fiercely, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Teacher Ran, don't listen to his nonsense!" Sha Zhu was anxious and grabbed Ran Qiuye's arm, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ran Qiuye shook off Sha Zhu's hand, feeling angry and aggrieved. At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice sounded outside the crowd: "What happened?"
The crowd automatically made way for a path, and a tall figure in a military green coat walked in. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, a playful smile on the corners of his mouth, and a pair of deep eyes like stars in the night sky, which made people unable to help but sink into them.
"Chu...Chu Tian?" Ran Qiuye was stunned. Wasn't this the person she had been dreaming about? How could he appear here?
Sha Zhu suddenly looked up and looked at the person who came, and was shocked. Chu Tian, the most mysterious person in the courtyard, rarely shows up, but there are many rumors about him. Some people say that he is a college student from the south, and later made a mistake and was sent to the steel rolling mill; others say that he is the son of some big shot and came to experience life. In short, no one knows his background, but only knows that he is a loner and not easy to mess with.
When Xu Damao saw Chu Tian coming, he immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Brother Chu! How come you have time to come here?"
Chu Tian ignored Xu Damao and walked straight to Ran Qiuye. His deep gaze stayed on her face for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Long time no see, Qiuye."
Ran Qiuye's face turned even redder, and her heart beat so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Chu Tian, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up after get off work." Chu Tian said as he naturally took the book from Ran Qiuye's hand. His eyes swept across the dark face of Sha Zhu beside him, and a hint of imperceptible mockery flashed in his eyes.
"Pick me up after get off work?" Ran Qiuye looked up in surprise, and the workers around him began to whisper. When did Chu Tian become so close to Teacher Ran?
Sha Zhu felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Chu Tian's cold eyes.
"Let's go, it's getting late." Chu Tian ignored everyone, put his arm around Ran Qiuye's shoulders, turned around and walked out of the factory.
Ran Qiuye was held in his arms, and she felt her body stiff, but she didn't dare to resist, so she could only let him take her away. When they reached the factory gate, Chu Tian suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Sha Zhu, with a playful smile on his face: "Sha Zhu, don't you plan to see Teacher Ran off?"
Sha Zhu gnashed his teeth in anger, but he could do nothing. He could only watch Ran Qiuye and Chu Tian leave side by side, their backs stretched out in the sunset.
"Silly Zhu, they are a talented couple and a beautiful girl, so stop dreaming!" Xu Damao mocked gloatingly.
"Get lost!" Sha Zhu yelled in exasperation and kicked over the trash can next to him. All kinds of dirty things scattered on the ground, causing laughter from the people around him.
He felt extremely frustrated. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been humiliated by a woman, but Ran Qiuye was always so distant to him that he couldn't figure it out. And now, Chu Tian showed up and seemed to have a close relationship with Ran Qiuye, which made him feel even worse.
Sha Zhu took a deep puff of his cigarette and swore secretly in his heart that he must get Ran Qiuye back and not let that pretty boy Chu Tian get away with it!
Chu Tian held Ran Qiuye in his arms and walked out of the factory. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, as if they were coated with a layer of gold. Ran Qiuye moved her shoulders uncomfortably, trying to break free from Chu Tian's arms, but he held her tighter.
"Let me go, it's not good if others see us." Ran Qiuye said in a low voice, with a hint of panic in his tone.
"You've seen it, there's nothing shameful between us." Chu Tian didn't care. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His deep eyes seemed to contain endless tenderness, which made Ran Qiuye's heart tremble.
"But..." Ran Qiuye wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Tian.
"Don't say buts. Why did you come to the factory to find Sha Zhu today? Did he bully you?" Chu Tian stopped and asked with concern, but a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes.
"No, I just..." Ran Qiuye wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it. Should she tell him that she was here to help Teacher Li find a match? Would Chu Tian misunderstand that there was something going on between her and Sha Zhu?
"Just what?" Chu Tian asked, with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
"It's nothing, just a small matter." Ran Qiuye said vaguely, not daring to look Chu Tian in the eye.
Chu Tian naturally saw her evasion, and he was even more certain that there must be something fishy going on. He grabbed Ran Qiuye's hand and said in a domineering tone: "Qiuye, look at me and tell me, what happened?"
Ran Qiuye was startled by his strong momentum and subconsciously wanted to pull back her hand, but he held it tightly. His hand was warm and powerful, as if it wanted to melt her.
"I..." Ran Qiuye's heart was beating fast and her cheeks were getting hot. She didn't know why, but when she faced Chu Tian, she couldn't control her emotions. It was as if there was an invisible force attracting her and making her unable to resist.
"What?" Chu Tian became even more anxious when he saw her hesitate to speak. He pulled Ran Qiuye into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
"Tell me, Qiuye, what are you thinking?" Chu Tian whispered in her ear, his tone so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out.
Ran Qiuye was startled by his sudden action and instinctively wanted to push him away, but he hugged her tighter. His chest was warm and broad, making her feel unprecedented sense of security.
"I..." Ran Qiuye wanted to speak, but found that her throat was dry and she couldn't say a word. She could feel Chu Tian's hot breath spraying on her ears, and his heartbeat was clearly audible.
