Adored Koi in the ’70s

The girl was pretty and dressed very modernly and beautifully. At first glance, she looked like a child from a very good family.

But that wasn't the point. The point was the way she looked at Huo Chi; gaze was too soft, smile was too bright, acted too coquettish, and had an 'I like you' aura all over her body.

This immediately aroused Dai Shu Fang's vigilance.

Dare to covet her son? Not acceptable!

Her son can only be Da Qiao's!

With such a thought, Dai Shu Fang eyed the girl with unkindness in her eyes. Then she turned back and gave her son a fierce gaze.

Huo Chi, who felt innocent, received his mom's glare: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan caught a hint, but the girl didn't do anything. Naturally, they couldn't say anything.

Besides, this kind of thing depended on the man's side.

If the man had a playboy mind, it was useless to tie him with a rope. So following this, it will be up to Huo Chi's action.

Only Da Qiao noticed nothing.

While the few of them exchanged brows and eyes movement, Tang Miao Shan had already walked up to them.

She glanced at everyone. When her gaze landed on Da Qiao's face, surprise and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

She always believed that her skin was already superb and no one around her can compare to her. Never thought this girl's skin was better than hers. She could hardly see a single flaw!

Immediately, she showed a bright smile to Huo Chi, "Classmate Huo, just now, the student union is looking for your help for a matter. But your roommate said that you have a relative coming over to register today. It should be this junior sister, right?"

Huo Chi indifferently nodded: "En. Has student union's matter been resolved?"

Tang Miao Shan saw that he was deliberately avoiding the her question and an unpleasant feeling sprouted in her heart.

But she didn't show it. She smilingly nodded: "It's been sorted. Originally I wanted to go out to buy something. Didn't expect to meet you here. So I came over to say hello to you."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Huo Chi a chance to drive her away. She turned to look at Dai Shu Fang and spoke, "This auntie looked so similar and has quite an aura, you must be Classmate Huo's mom?"

If ordinary people hear others praise their aura, they will be very happy. But Dai Shu Fang was more and more convinced that the other party was scheming.

She pulled the corner of her mouth and grinned, "Thank you for the compliment! But speaking of aura, I don't think anyone in this world can compare to my future daughter-in-law."

Saying that, her tender loving gaze fell on Da Qiao.

Tang Miao Shan followed her gaze and her heart dropped.

Was this girl Huo Chi's fiancée?

Why had she never heard that Huo Chi had a match?

She and Huo Chi were in the same class. Before she came to the school to register, she had heard of his name.

He was the top scholar in their college entrance examination. He heard from her dad that Huo Family was the richest in the country back then. Although they weren't as well off as they used to be, their net worth was something ordinary people can't compare to!

She was always curious about him until the day they came to register. When she saw him for the first time, she was stunned on the spot.

For the first time, she knew people who study well can look so handsome!

Her heart was beating wildly that day, as if it had been contained a lot of little deer.

Later, she tried to attract his attention, but his mind seemed to be unable to see other people except studying. She could only find a way to get closer to him, but the effect wasn't obvious!

As long as he didn't have a match for a day, she felt that she still had a chance.

It was never within her expectation that he would already reach that step. Not only did he have a match, but also a fiancée!

Seeing the other party's dazed state, Dai Shu Fang added a jab: "Chi-er, I'm warning you, you are someone with a match. You mustn't do anything to hurt Da Qiao, otherwise I will be the first to not let you off!"

The cold sweat on Huo Chi's forehead was about to come out: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I do something sorry to Nian Nian!"

Seeing his nervous appearance, Da Qiao hurriedly spoke for him: "Auntie Fang, I believe Elder Brother Huo Chi won't mess around."

Hearing Da Qiao defending himself, Huo Chi felt even sweeter than eating honey!

Seeing the two of them only having each other in their eyes, Tang Miao Shan's heart couldn't be any empty.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's send Da Qiao to her dormitory quickly and get done earlier so we can eat earlier."

Dai Shu Fang glanced at Tang Miao Shan and hoped that she would retreat when it get difficult.

After speaking, the group turned around and left. No one bid Tang Miao Shan goodbye.

Tang Miao Shan's face turned red and white. She felt as if someone had slapped her hard; simply embarrassing to death!

On the way to the dormitory, Huo Chi explained again: "Nian Nian, that girl is my classmate. I'm not familiar with her. I don't even remember her name!"

It was just that she often dangled in front of him, so he remembered her face.

But his heart only ever had her. He had no interest in other girls.

The corners of Da Qiao's mouth twitched and slight dimples appeared, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, don't worry. I believe in you!"

Huo Chi stared at her red lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly turned his head away.

Don't know why he had the urge to gnaw her lips every time he see it.

If Da Qiao knew his thoughts, would she think he was a rascal?

——

Although Jinghua College was a century-old famous college, the accommodation conditions weren't great.

There were three beds in a room of less than ten square meters. It was bunk beds. In other words, there will be six people living together in this room.

Dai Shu Fang frowned when she saw the conditions of the dormitory: "How can people live in such a place? Da Qiao, why don't you apply for a day study with the school?"

In fact, when she was on the farm, she had lived in all kinds of bad environment. But in her heart, Da Qiao was so sweet and charming. Da Qiao should be cared for, doted, and protected. Such a place wasn't worthy of her!

Two people were already in the dormitory at this moment. When they heard this, they were all guessing their identities.

They noticed this group upon their arrival.

The couple who walked in ahead didn't look like city folk. Of course, they didn't look like old-fashioned country folk.

The three people who came in behind made their eyes instantly light up!

Especially the pair who walked in at the back. The man was handsome, while the woman was beautiful. Extremely eye-catching!

Not only did the female have a good figure and a good face, but also looked like a rich person from the way they dressed. What's even more enviable was that she didn't need to hold anything herself. So they knew that she must be very favored!

Truly was comparison make men miserable!

Da Qiao didn't notice other people's scrutiny. Her grandmother, grandfather, and Elder Brother Huo Chi were all helping with the sorting out. How could she stand still and do nothing.

Qiao Xiu Zhi gave one scan and chose the upper bunk by the window for Da Qiao.

The bottom bunk by the window had already been chosen by one of the girls. The other girl had chosen the other bottom bunk in the inside. The remaining one was close to the door.

Although sleeping in the lower bunk was more convenient than the upper bunk, the bed was too close to the door. She will definitely be affected by people who come in and out in the future. Maybe, she would even have to get up to open the door for everyone.

So after the discussion, everyone agreed that it was better to sleep in the upper bunk.

Da Qiao quite liked the top bunk. It meant when her things are placed on the bed, others won't see it at a glance.

The girl in the lower bunk saw them coming over and took the initiative to say hello to Da Qiao: "Hello, my name is Song Yu Lian. I'm from the English department."

Da Qiao smiled at her and spoke, "My name is Qiao Nian Nian, I'm from the Department of Finance and Economics."

Hearing Da Qiao say that she was from the Finance and Economics Department, Song Yu Lian's eyes widened: "Are you, really from the Finance and Economics Department?"

The Department of Finance and Economics only started recruiting students three years ago. Although it hadn't been established for a long time, finance and economics-related major were now popular. The admission score requirement was very high.

In general, girls' scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry weren't very good. Which then lead to dragging down results of the college entrance examination. So the Department of Finance and Economics was also called the Monk Department.

It was heard that in the first year, there weren't a single girl. Last year, there were two. This year, there were as many as three. However, compared with other departments, it was pitiful.

Before she came to register, she had heard that the girls in the finance and economic department were generally not good-looking. Many of them were tomgirls.

She had no idea that a big beauty like Da Qiao was actually in the finance and economic department!

Da Qiao found it amusing: "Can this kind of thing be a lie?"

The girl who slept in the lower bunk on the opposite side interjected: "My name is Chen Xiao Lan, also from foreign language department. I inquired about it before I came to the dormitory. There is only one from finance and economics department in our dormitory."

The other two girls from finance and economic department were assigned to the dorm room next door. Because that side happened to be full, Da Qiao was assigned to this dorm room.

Chen Xiao Lan and Song Yu Lian had the same thought; thinking that she would be a tomgirl. To their surprise, she looked better than they imagined.

With her appearance, it seem that she will soon be selected as the new school flower.

The current school flower was Tang Miao Shan from sophomore year of the Information Department.

She and Tang Miao Shan happened to be cousin sisters. It was just her family was in the countryside. That was why Tang Miao Shan looked down on her.

Tang Miao Shan had been arrogant since young; thinking that she was the smartest and most beautiful in the world. Now it was wonderful. There was finally a girl who can frustrate her!

She was looking forward to that day!

After Da Qiao greeted to Chen Xiao Lan, she left them be and turned around to continue unpacking.

Chen Xiao Lan and Song Yu Lian couldn't help but be surprised again when they saw that her swift and neat movements.

When she came in just now, she didn't hold anything in her hand. They thought she was a delicate young lady sort.

Such people were generally not very good-natured. But now it seem that they thought wrongly.

After packing up, Da Qiao and the group left the dormitory.

Although they had brought things over, they found out that they didn't have everything after unpacking.

But those things weren't urgent. It wasn't too late to buy them after eating.

Before everyone could leave the campus, they were stopped by someone.

It was a man in his forties who stopped them.

The other party had gold frame glasses, combed-back hair, white shirt, and black suit pants. It made him look extremely elegant.

The person he stopped was none other than Dai Shu Fang.

Seeing someone calling her, Dai Shu Fang looked back. She was stunned: "Zhong Kang De? You are Zhong Kang De, right?"

The twinkle in Zhong Kang De's eyes intensified when she recognize him: "I saw someone walking by just now and thought I saw it wrong. Never thought it was really you!"

Dai Shu Fang pushed back her hair at the side with her hand and smiled, "I'm getting old. It's normal for you to recognize wrongly!"

Zhong Kang De's slender eyes looked at her and spoke, "No, you aren't old at all. You are exactly the same as you were back then!"

Dai Shu Fang's cheeks heated up and changed the topic, "Didn't you go abroad? When did you come back?"

Zhong Kang De used to be a neighbor of her maternal family. The two of them grew up together. Later, when the country's circumstance went south, Zhong Family sold their property and tried to find a way to go abroad.

Before leaving, Zhong Kang De had come to persuade them to leave together. But neither her family nor Huo Family consider leaving at that time.

Zhong Kang De had to depart in disappointment. Facts have proved that Zhong Family's choice was the right one!

If she and Huo Zheng Chen had chosen to go abroad back then, maybe they wouldn't have gotten to where they were now.

Zhong Kang De replied: "I heard that the country has settled down. Now there's vigorous economy development, so I returned to the country. I couldn't stand with the country back then. So I hope I can do my part now!"

Dai Shu Fang swept him up and down, her eyes fell on the book in his hand. She curiously asked, "Aren't you teaching here?"

Zhong Kang De merrily replied, "You got it right. I'm currently a professor in the Department of Finance and Economics!"

Department of Finance and Economics!

Dai Shu Fang's eyes lit up. She hurriedly pulled Da Qiao over: "That's perfect! This is a close younger generation of mine. She just applied to your finance and economic department this year. If possible, please take care of her in the future! Da Qiao, quickly greet your professor."

Da Qiao obediently complied: "Hello, Professor Zhong. My name is Qiao Nian Nian. I'm a freshman."

Qiao Nian Nian!

Zhong Kang De raised his brows when he heard the name: "It turned out to be you! Qiao Nian Nian! This year's college entrance examination's top scholar. I didn't expect you to be such a beautiful little girl!"

The gang of wolf (male) students in the Finance Department was estimated to boil!

Seeing that the other party praise Da Qiao, Dai Shu Fang looked proud: "Our Da Qiao is not only smart, but also beautiful. Most importantly, she's kind and good-natured!"

From Dai Shu Fang's point of view, Da Qiao was perfect in every aspect!

Zhong Kang De saw the girl beside her blush from the praise. The corners of his mouth slightly hooked up: "Your character is still the same as before. As long as you think a person is good, you can't wait to bring the best things in the world to them."

It was the same back then. She fell in love with Huo Zheng Chen and thought he was the best man in the world. She could no longer see the existence of other people in her eyes.

Can't even see him, who had been following her since young.

When Dai Shu Fang heard this, the smile on her face withdrew a little: "We still have to go to eat and buy things. Let's talk later when we have time."

When Zhong Kang De heard this response, he immediately regretted what he said.

However, with so many people present, it was difficult for him to explain.

He squeezed out a smile and said: "Okay, we'll get in contact later when there's time."

Da Qiao suddenly found the atmosphere a little strange.

Silently, she looked between Auntie Fang and Professor Zhong. She had a feeling that the two of them... had a story.

But she didn't dare to ask.

As Da Qiao and the group depart, Zhong Kang De stared at the back that was once very familiar and sighed silently.

If he had confessed earlier, would the result have been different?

On the way to eating, Da Qiao leaned over and lowered her voice, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, did you notice the way that Professor Zhong's gaze on Auntie Fang was a little different?"
