Chapter 360 Love Luck

The new factory building is to the west of the old factory building, and the dormitory building is only separated by a wall. There is only one dormitory building on the new side, so it is divided into the first floor for men and the second and third floors for women.

It was a bit chaotic that men and women lived in the same building. Then, just a week later, a young man went up to the third floor to look for his girlfriend.

The new factory had no management personnel, which made these young men even more unscrupulous.

Today one guy with a girlfriend comes to ask someone out, tomorrow another guy with a girlfriend comes to give gifts, making the dorm building a mess.

Bai Yan also started dating a boyfriend named Lu Teng around this time.

The man had a purplish-red birthmark on his right eye, which was not noticeable unless you looked closely.

This person is not tall, around 1.7 meters. He has yellow skin and is of medium build, neither fat nor thin. His appearance is also very ordinary; the kind that you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

This person has one particularly noticeable advantage: he's very popular. Everyone who has met him even once likes to be his friend.

Another girl in the workshop, surnamed Xiao, took a liking to him and even offered to buy him dinner. However, he refused to accept the money.

When Xiao learned that Lu Teng was dating Bai Yan, she was furious. She went to Bai Yan to provoke her, saying that the two of them should compete fairly for Lu Teng.

Bai Yan wouldn't let herself be led by the nose. She and Lu Teng had already confirmed their relationship, so why should she compete with others? It was truly ridiculous.

Bai Yan ignored Xiao, acting as if nothing had happened. But Xiao kept appearing in front of her from time to time.

One time, they bumped into each other while eating in the cafeteria. Xiao deliberately carried her tray to Bai Yan and Lu Teng's table, slammed it down, and gave Bai Yan a provocative look.

Bai Yan continued eating calmly, not taking her seriously. Lu Teng frowned and said coldly, "Xiao Qiyan, I've already said it, Bai Yan and I are together. I hope you won't bother us anymore."

Xiao's face turned bright red. She suddenly stood up, pushed the plate away, and spilled food all over the table.

"Lu Teng, don't think Bai Yan is so great. In what way do I not compare to her?"

Bai Yan slowly raised her head, her eyes calm yet carrying a hint of authority: "Xiao Qiyan, matters of the heart cannot be forced. If you continue to act so unreasonably, it will be too unsightly."

Xiao was speechless, her eyes reddened, she stomped her foot, and ran out crying.

Lu Teng quickly pulled out a tissue and wiped the soup that had splashed on Bai Yan's body, saying softly, "Don't take it to heart, she's just being silly."

Bai Yan smiled slightly and said, "I won't take her little tricks to heart." The two continued to eat their meal sweetly.

Bai Yan quickly forgot about the incident. However, Xiao Xiao did not give up pursuing Lu Teng.

One day, Bai Yan was working overtime until very late, but she wasn't feeling well and asked for leave to return to her dormitory early.

On her way home from get off work that evening, Xiao Qiyan secretly followed Lu Teng. The other employees were too exhausted to pay any attention to her.

Lu Teng was also very tired and didn't notice that a little tail was secretly following him.

When you get to the corner downstairs from the dormitory building, one of the lights is off, and it's pitch black there.

Lu Teng walked forward dejectedly, when suddenly he stepped on a stone, which hurt his foot. He stopped to check the sole of his shoe.

He glanced at it, saw that the sole of his shoe hadn't been punctured, and continued walking forward. Just then, Xiao Qiyan grabbed Lu Teng from behind and hugged him around the waist, startling him.

He tried to turn around, but the person behind him held him tightly, making it impossible for him to move. Just as he was about to get angry, the woman behind him spoke.

"Lu Teng, it's me, it's me, don't be afraid."

Lu Teng knew from the voice that it was Xiao Qiyan again. He used his large hand to pry open the small hands that were clasping his waist.

Then he turned around and said, "Xiao Qiyan, we're not a good match. Your personality is too unconventional, I don't like it."

Xiao Qiyan didn't sense Lu Teng's rejection; instead, as if guided, she eagerly asked, "What type do you like? I'll change it, okay?"

Lu Teng felt that she either didn't understand what he was saying or was doing it on purpose, so he lost his patience and continued talking.

"I like women like Bai Yan. She is gentle, virtuous, steady, and considerate. She is the kind of woman who is suitable to marry and live a good life with."

Xiao Qiyan roared, "What does she have? She's not as pretty as me, not as interesting as me, and not as young as me. I'm two and a half years younger than her."

Lu Teng felt she was being unreasonable and making a fuss, and he disliked her even more. He thought that if he married such a shameless woman, she would surely turn his family upside down.

Lu Teng didn't give her a chance to continue arguing. He pushed her away and went straight back to his dormitory.

As Xiao Qiyan watched Lu Teng's departing figure, tears blurred her vision.

She was truly heartbroken this time. She put herself in his shoes, but he found it disgusting and annoying. What was she even holding on to? What was the point of continuing?

At that very moment, Xiao Qiyan came to her senses and decided to give up. Suddenly, she realized that letting go of this obsession made her feel much lighter; perhaps she had made a mistake from the very beginning.

Xiao Qiyan slowly raised her head, wiped away her tears, and silently returned to her dormitory.

Back in her dorm, she didn't wash up. She took off her shoes and clothes, lay down in bed, covered herself with the blanket, and cried quietly. She didn't make a sound, but her body trembled and she sobbed.

She needed to cry out her reluctance and resentment; only by releasing it could she truly give up and end it completely.

On the other side, Lu Teng was exhausted after a day's work, but he still went to Bai Yan's dormitory to check on her.

He knocked on the door, and it opened. The other girls in the dorm saw him come in but didn't say anything. Everyone knew he was there to see his girlfriend, and no one was being unreasonable.

Bai Yan's complexion had improved a lot; the reason for her illness this time wasn't something she brought on herself.

I was perfectly healthy before, but now it's almost September and the nights are getting much cooler.

She knew her period was coming soon, but she still took a shower in the bathroom in the middle of the night. After showering, she drank a glass of cold water and went to sleep.

The next morning, she not only had a cold and headache but also a stomachache, and her period started all at once. It was unbearable for her.

After resting for a whole day, Bai Yan's stomachache and headache were gone, but she still felt weak all over, had a sore throat, and a slight cough.

When Lu Teng came to see her, she was in much better spirits and was able to sit up to eat and listen to gossip.

Seeing that her boyfriend had come to see her so late, and that her condition had improved a lot, she felt both touched and happy.

Lu Teng sat by the bed, gently holding her hand, and asked Bai Yan about her condition, whether it had improved.

Bai Yan smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, you're much better now. Rest for another day tomorrow, and you'll be almost fully recovered."

Hearing her say that, Lu Teng wasn't worried anymore. After chatting for a while, he went back. He was also very tired and needed a good night's sleep to replenish his energy and spirit before starting his new job the next day.
