CHAPTER 950: CHAPTER 951: TESTING THE WATERS

The registration for the matchmaking event was in full swing, and even Qiulan couldn’t escape her elder sister’s 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 Ge’s background is right there, and he hasn’t done anything for Qiulan, so this girl’s 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. I’ve 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 aren’t married yet. If you fancy one of them, it wouldn’t be a bad match."

Qiulan forced a smile and said, "I haven’t thought about getting married yet."

Cheng Su understood this but said, "You’re twenty now, right? Even if you don’t want to get married, you should find someone. Our youth is limited, so don’t 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, it’s 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?"

Qiulan’s face turned a little pale.

"Go and have a look; maybe you’ll meet your destined one there!" Cheng Su patted her shoulder and said, "It’s just for fun, not like you have to marry the first one you see."

Qiulan didn’t 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 Su’s mind turned, and she smiled, saying, "I have some good news for you, but I don’t know if you’d be interested."

"What good news?" Ying Xiaoya’s eyes widened.

"Well, not exactly big news, but Qi Taiguo’s 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, it’s a good thing. So, I’m asking if you’re interested in joining, and if so, I’ll 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; you’re not getting any younger!"

Ying Xiaoya’s face turned slightly pale; she pressed her lips together and said, "Alright, Susu, help me sign up; I’m 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? I’ll 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 Xiaoya’s 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 couldn’t help but sigh, "Why bother!"
