70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 314: Travel Plans

"Hey, are you a student at Huaxia University too?" Xu Mumu looked at Shu Rong and asked.

"Yes, I’m from the Foreign Languages Institute." Shu Rong said, looking down. She was a bit envious of Xu Mumu, envious that she could be with the one she liked, while she could only be Huo Qingze’s cousin.

"I’m Xu Mumu from the Physics Department. Feel free to come find me and hang out next time." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you." Shu Rong smiled but didn’t take it to heart.

After separating from Huo Qingze and the others, Xu Mumu went to see a movie with Yin Yang.

The cinema was crowded, and some people were even selling sunflower seeds, though discreetly.

After watching the movie, they didn’t plan to go home for dinner. Yin Yang took Xu Mumu and, once again, ran into Huo Qingze and the others, who seemed to have just arrived as well.

"We meet again, it’s really fate." Yin Yang said with a smile.

"Do you want to sit together?" Xu Mumu said, smiling.

"Sure." Huo Qingze nodded.

Since Huo Qingze agreed, Shu Rong naturally had no objections.

"Xu, why did you choose the Physics Department?" Shu Rong curiously looked at Xu Mumu, surprised that a girl would go to the Physics Department.

"I just like these things." Xu Mumu replied with a smile. Shu Rong looked sweet and cute, a bit delicate, like Xu Mumu herself, both possessing a similar white lotus appearance.

"Your interests are really unique." Shu Rong said, twitching her mouth. Not many girls would choose such a major.

"It’s alright." Xu Mumu replied with a smile.

"You and your partner seem really close." Shu Rong looked enviously at Xu Mumu, seeing how Yin Yang poured tea for Xu Mumu earlier; she had to pour her own.

"It’s okay, with your looks, finding a partner shouldn’t be hard." Xu Mumu smiled and said. Shu Rong kept staring at Huo Qingze, which would lead nowhere; she might as well give up sooner.

"I, I’m not in a hurry for now." Shu Rong blushed a bit, sneaking a glance at Huo Qingze, who showed no reaction.

Huo Qingze discussed the tutorial classes with Yin Yang. Although he heard Xu Mumu and Shu Rong’s conversation, he didn’t react, feeling annoyed by Shu Rong’s attention lately.

If she weren’t his cousin, he wouldn’t have held back from saying something harsh, but he only subtly hinted a few times, which Shu Rong seemed to pretend not to understand.

He wished Xu Mumu would talk more to Shu Rong, hoping she’d drop her pursuit.

He had enough to do each day and didn’t have much time to deal with her.

"There’s really no rush. Life is long." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

Soon, the dishes were served. The food at the state-owned restaurant in the Imperial City was quite good.

Xu Mumu stopped discussing those matters with Shu Rong and shifted to talking about school affairs.

Seeing Huo Qingze’s indifference, Shu Rong had no choice but to chat with Xu Mumu, avoiding awkwardness.

The more they talked, the more shocked Shu Rong became, as Xu Mumu knew a lot, even aspects of her major.

By the end of the meal, Shu Rong felt less distant and was willing to befriend Xu Mumu.

She learned that the place where Huo Qingze served in the countryside as a young intellectual was where Xu Mumu’s family was, making it puzzling how Xu Mumu knew so much despite being just a country girl.

After parting from Huo Qingze and the others, Xu Mumu and her friends went to the post office, received some letters, and then headed home.

At home, Xu Mumu excitedly opened the letters. Reading their contents, she smiled lightly, feeling reassured that all was well at home.

Finished reading, she carefully stored the letters away.

"Mumu, is everything alright at home?" Yin Yang asked with a smile, looking at Xu Mumu.

"Everything’s good, nothing to worry about." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile.

"In a few days, we’ll probably have a holiday. Do you want to go out and have fun?" Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu.

"Holiday, what holiday?" Xu Mumu asked, puzzled.

"The college entrance exams are coming up, and our school will be used as a test site, so we get a few days off. Want to go somewhere?" Yin Yang said with a smile.

"I don’t know which places are fun. I haven’t been to the Great Wall yet; let’s go there." Xu Mumu thought for a moment, surprised to hear the school would be an exam site, though happy about the break.

"Sure, but there’ll probably be quite a few people going then." Yin Yang said gently. Lots of people from the Imperial City, especially students, would flock to the Great Wall during breaks.

"It’s fine, we’re just going for a look. I haven’t been yet." Xu Mumu said, unconcerned, thinking the crowds couldn’t be as bad as in future times.

"Alright then." Yin Yang nodded.

"Should we invite Sir Song and the others and take them with us?" Xu Mumu asked Yin Yang.

"No need, Grandpa and the others aren’t in good health, and climbing the Great Wall would be too tiring for them." Yin Yang shook his head, noting the length of the wall, which would be hard for the elderly.

"True, but leaving them at home while we go doesn’t seem right, does it?" Xu Mumu seemed a bit conflicted.

"I’ll ask Yun Hong to drive them to the Forbidden City instead." Yin Yang said with a smile.

"I want to go too." Xu Mumu looked at Yin Yang. She had only seen the Forbidden City on TV in her past life, not realizing it was so close.

"We’ll visit the Great Wall and then go to the Forbidden City." Yin Yang squeezed Xu Mumu’s hand. If she wanted to go, they would, since visiting wasn’t troublesome.

"Okay." Xu Mumu nodded, very pleased.

After planning their holiday activities, Xu Mumu felt uplifted, even managing to converse with Su Yue’e at school.

Su Yue’e didn’t know why Xu Mumu was so happy but took it as a chance to build a good rapport.

However, her plans failed, as Xu Mumu only exchanged a few words with her.

Since spreading the news of Xu Mumu helping her get a job, Su Yue’e’s days hadn’t been great, with the community being more critical of her and trouble finding her now and then.

She suspected Xu Mumu, but dared not confront her, fearing to provoke Xu Mumu further.

Soon, the holiday arrived. Yin Yang was already waiting for Xu Mumu, and as soon as they finished school, they left together.
