Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

73: Chapter 73 Will Not Let Go 73: Chapter 73 Will Not Let Go “I’m full!

Naturally, I can’t eat anymore!

I work at the TV station; if I get fat, I won’t look good on camera!” Liang Manman got up, tossing the remaining food into the trash bin next to the stall.

A pitiful little girl squatting beside the trash bin eyed the food with longing.

When she saw Liang Manman throw it away, she quickly went to pick it up.

Seeing that the food in the bucket was soaked in slop, she stared at it disappointedly for a long time, unwilling to leave.

Qin Jian withdrew his gaze and stood up, saying indifferently, “You don’t have to get so much.

This year has been a year of famine, and the domestic food harvest hasn’t been good…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Liang Manman interrupted him, “Really?

I didn’t know that!

Besides, I just wanted to try a little of everything.

I don’t have to give my monthly salary to my family, and it’s not like I can’t afford it!”

Qin Jian didn’t say anything; he walked over to the stall owner to settle the bill.

“Soy milk is two dimes, eggs are three dimes, and dough sticks are two dimes.

That’s a total of seven dimes.”

Qin Jian pulled out two yuan and handed it to the owner, “Keep the change; use the rest to get something for that little girl to eat.”

The owner took a look and quickly gave a thumbs up in praise, “You’re really a good person!

This little girl comes here every day, always waiting until I close up to give her something to eat.

Yesterday I didn’t open the stall; she must have been starving.”

After speaking, he called the little girl over, “Come here, this uncle has bought you some food.”

The little girl walked over with big, timid eyes and started eating happily when food was served.

Liang Manman got up and walked over to Qin Jian, saying with a giggle, “You’re quite compassionate!”

“It’s what I should do,” Qin Jian replied softly.

Liang Manman nodded, looked around the street, and naturally grabbed Qin Jian’s arm, “Let’s go.

I know a coffee shop where the coffee tastes amazing, I’ll take you to try it!”

Qin Jian looked down and then brushed her arm away, “No need!

Comrade Liang Manman, I think we’re not quite suitable for each other.”

“Why not suitable?” Liang Manman frowned, “I think we’re quite compatible!

I’ve liked someone like you since I was young—smart and with aspirations!

I went through so much trouble to ask Director Zhang to meet you through my dad, you can’t just let it go like this!”

“First, we have different values!

Also, our personalities don’t match, let’s just forget it.

Goodbye!” Qin Jian decisively left those words behind and turned to walk away.

“Qin Jian, don’t go!” Liang Manman became frantic, grabbing onto Qin Jian’s arm, “You can’t just make up your mind after meeting me just once!

At the very least, we have to talk and see!”

She really liked Qin Jian; she had always heard about him from her family over the past few years and was very curious.

She had imagined that this legendary Qin Jian must be a sturdy, muscular man, but she didn’t expect that when she met him by chance, she found him to be so attractive that she instantly fixed her heart on him.

The young girl’s thoughts had been adrift for a long time before she pleaded with her father to make the connection.

She had finally gotten this chance to meet him, and despite having dressed up so carefully, she still couldn’t catch this man’s eye.

Considering her appearance and family background, she was not lacking at all.

How could he not be attracted to her?

“Comrade Liang Manman, please pay attention to your behavior!” Qin Jian said, his head aching.

He disliked this kind of pampered girl the most.

Liang Manman was used to acting spoiled at home and would pout at people at the drop of a hat.

Her aunt also told her that women who could act spoiled could win a man’s heart.

“No!

I won’t let go!”

Jian Ying and Tian Niu, secretly watching from a hidden spot, covered their mouths and snickered.
