Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: 4 Up 8 Cross

After a few days, there would be a stage set up for theater performances in the suburbs. Gu Lingling had already discussed with He Yue that she would wait for them directly there after school.

Gu Lingling was so excited about this day that she couldn’t sleep well for half the night.

If Grandma Yao hadn’t called her, she probably would have missed the time.

”Have you been waiting long?” When Gu Lingling arrived, He Yue and He Dazui were already there. ”Try my grandma’s stir-fried small shrimp.”

The shrimp were fished from the river by Yao Jingsong and his playmates. Knowing that Gu Lingling would be coming with classmates to see the play in the evening, Grandma Yao specially stir-fried them with lard and sprinkled a bit of salt, making them very delicious.

Of course, Yao Jingsong was quite unhappy about Gu Lingling taking the small shrimp he worked hard to catch, but she ignored him.

”Thank you.”

Gu Lingling was truly different.

This was the unanimous feeling among the girls, who kindly thanked Gu Lingling.

”So tasty, thank you,” He Yue said with a squinting smile, and He Dazui exaggeratedly added, ”Let’s go to the river and catch some shrimp to fry soon, it’s so delicious.”

”Hurry up and grab a seat, I heard Ma Youxian is going on stage today.” After eating something delicious, He Dazui finally remembered the main event and urged.

But Gu Lingling didn’t want to squeeze inside, knowing that there would be chaos soon, and the farther inside one goes, the harder it is to run later.

It’s said that many people got trampled because of this upheaval.

”Sister Big Mouth,” Gu Lingling tugged at He Dazui, pointing inside, ”Why don’t we watch from over there? There are too many people inside, we can’t squeeze in.”

He Dazui wanted to see her idol up close too but glanced inside at the dense crowd, all presumably there for Ma Youxian.

Looking at the other girls next to her, although she could rush in herself, the others...

”Alright then,” He Dazui hesitated but agreed.

Unfortunately, He Dazui was destined to be disappointed. Ma Youxian hadn’t appeared yet, and just as the show was being announced, two gunshots rang out.

”Run quickly,” Gu Lingling urgently pulled the dazed He Yue’s hand and started to run.

Her little friends, upon hearing her warning, also ran in a panic.

”I can’t, I really can’t run anymore.” After running for a while, He Yue stopped, clutching her stomach, panting heavily.

”Over there... bang bang...”

Another two gunshots.

This won’t do, if this continues, they might be mistaken for bad elements and caught before preventing He Yue from meeting Yang Yunhai.

Who would have thought that coming to see a play would turn into a clash between two factions?

”Follow me,” Gu Lingling pulled He Yue towards a small alley. Not many people came this way, so they could hide for a while and come out when the commotion passed.

”I think I twisted my ankle just now,” He Yue said through gritted teeth after taking a couple of steps.

”I’ll support you,” Gu Lingling supported He Yue without hesitation, determined to stay close to He Yue today.

”Thank you.” As they reached the alley, Gu Lingling helped He Yue sit down on a wooden doorstep, while she leaned against the wooden door exhausted.

”No need...” She hadn’t finished saying ”thank you” when the door Gu Lingling was leaning against suddenly opened.

Because she was so tired, she put all her weight against the wooden door.

Then... Gu Lingling felt that this was the most embarrassing event of her two lifetimes.

Why? Just to prevent He Yue from meeting Yang Yunhai for the first time?

But is her sacrifice a bit too much?

Isn’t her image a bit too disgraceful?

Splayed out!

The key thing is, what was Yang Yunhai’s expression? He was actually mocking her!

She did all this for whom? For whom?

Gu Lingling blinked hard, white shirt, navy blue pants, gleaming black leather shoes, coupled with a handsome face, Yang Yunhai’s signature style.

No doubt, it was him!
