Chapter 101: Flirting
"Alright then." Chen Bajin heard Gu Fuqiao say this, so he nodded and was about to head inside when Gu Fuqiao called out to him.
Gu Fuqiao said, "By the way, that Sister Bei today, how long have you known her?"
Chen Bajin, though unsure why she suddenly asked about Sister Bei, truthfully told Gu Fuqiao, "I’ve known her since I started serving in this military district."
It seems Sister Bei has been in this place for a long time, and judging by her accent, she somewhat sounds like she’s from the Capital.
Listening to her stories today, Gu Fuqiao felt a bit sympathetic toward Sister Bei and wondered what she had gone through. No matter the era, it’s never easy for a woman to make a living on her own. "Did Sister Bei ever talk to you about her family?"
"No, I wish I knew." Chen Bajin shook his head and said, "I think Sister Bei is definitely impressive, very mysterious, but she doesn’t want to talk about it, and I feel awkward asking. Besides, she seems to have gone through something... Anyway, it’s not easy for a woman. Even like this."
Chen Bajin leaned closer to Gu Fuqiao and gestured at his own face, indicating that Sister Bei had scars on her face. "Even so, quite a few people like her, like the boss selling pork at the market, but unfortunately, Sister Bei turned him down."
Hearing the word "butcher," Gu Fuqiao slightly furrowed her brows.
