B5SB -Chapter 65 Suspected Time-Traveler

On the first day of the New Year in 1970, Gu Yihan got up, put on her cotton-padded clothes—it was too cold to cook over the fire.

Maomao, seeing Gu Yihan awake, ran circles around her. She took a few steamed buns and some meat soup from her space and put them in Maomao’s bowl.

Thankfully, she was usually lazy and cooked extra meals, storing them in the space. They ate a simple breakfast.

After finishing, Gu Yihan picked up her shoulder bag and prepared to stroll around the department store—she wanted to buy a wristwatch.

“Maomao, let’s go.”

At the department store, Gu Yihan went straight to the second-floor watch section, looking at the watches in the display case.

The sales clerk noticed Gu Yihan’s thick, neat cotton-padded clothes—without any patches—and warmly brought out a watch to show her.

“Comrade, this is a Shencheng all-steel shockproof ladies’ watch. It only costs 120 yuan. Please take a look.”

Gu Yihan took the watch, tried it on her wrist, found it acceptable, and handed it back: “Issue the receipt; I’ll take this watch.”

The clerk happily said, “Alright, please wait a moment.”

Gu Yihan took out 12 large “Grand Reunion” bills and a watch receipt from her bag and handed them to the clerk, who had already prepared the receipt.

After counting the bills, the clerk handed Gu Yihan the packed watch. “Comrade, the time has been set for you.”

Gu Yihan thanked him, then wandered around casually with Maomao.

“Xiao Han, Xiao Han…”

Li Yajing came running behind Gu Yihan and gave her a smack on the shoulder.

Gu Yihan was startled. Turning around, she saw it was Li Yajing, and rolled her eyes at her: “Yajing, you scared me.”

Li Yajing, seeing Maomao, couldn’t resist petting its head: “I called you several times, but you didn’t respond.”

Gu Yihan saw Maomao giving her a look of resigned annoyance and chuckled: “Yajing, Maomao hates being petted by others.”

Li Yajing withdrew her hand, anxious: “Quick, let’s go, let’s go…”

In the next moment, Li Yajing pulled Gu Yihan along. She stumbled several times before finally stabilizing herself.

“Why are you doing this? You don’t need to pull me, I’ll go with you.” Gu Yihan was a bit confused.

Li Yajing said bluntly: “Just come with me. I’m telling you, my cousin…”

She waved and shouted: “Cousin! Cousin! We’re here!”

It was a holiday at the factory today; families, whether wealthy or not, came to the department store to browse, even if they didn’t plan to buy anything.

Li Yajing’s cousin finally pushed through the crowd to find his cousin.

Gu Yihan looked at Li Yajing’s cousin nearby—at least 185 cm tall, wearing a military uniform, with a straight posture. A soldier? His skin was quite fair too.

Li Yajing pulled Gu Yihan along, with Maomao following closely, afraid of getting left behind.

Gu Yihan wasn’t worried; Maomao was clever.

Li Yajing grabbed Gu Yihan and introduced her: “Cousin, this is my good friend, Comrade Gu Yihan.”

Then, quietly to Gu Yihan: “This is my cousin, Lin Yifei, my mom wants to set him up as a match for you.”

Gu Yihan awkwardly smiled at Comrade Lin: “Yajing is joking, haha.”

She pulled Li Yajing aside and whispered: “I told you, I’m not considering that kind of thing yet.”

Li Yajing whispered back: “This is just keeping good resources in the family.”

After saying that, she grabbed Gu Yihan and walked straight toward Lin Yifei.

Lin Yifei laughed at his mischievous cousin.

He said to Gu Yihan: “Yajing has been spoiled at home since childhood; she speaks frankly. Don’t take it to heart.”

Gu Yihan watched Lin Yifei tap Yajing lightly on the head, looking stern: “Too naughty. When we go back, I’ll talk to your aunt and make sure you behave.”

Yajing didn’t care about Lin Yifei at all, ignoring his words.

Gu Yihan’s gaze, however, was fixed on the cartoon-knitted Mickey Mouse bracelet on Lin Yifei’s wrist, and her body shivered—this thing…

Lin Yifei noticed Gu Yihan’s stare and covered the bracelet with his sleeve.

Gu Yihan pretended to admire it and asked: “Comrade Lin, where did you get this bracelet? It’s so cute; I’d like one too.”

Lin Yifei couldn’t help smiling at her praise. His eyes softened: “My girlfriend gave it to me; it’s not sold outside.”

Gu Yihan looked envious: “So skillful! I can’t even make clothes.”

Lin Yifei said gently: “Her family isn’t well-off; she had to mend and patch things, which made her excellent at needlework.”

“She can crochet all kinds of animals—they look so lifelike.”

It took Yajing a moment to react, then she screamed: “Girlfriend? Girlfriend…” and started pawing at Lin Yifei’s wrist.

Lin Yifei held her hand back, seemingly worried Gu Yihan might actually believe Yajing’s words and think he had no girlfriend.

He said softly to Gu Yihan: “She’s a strong, ambitious, and outstanding comrade.”

Gu Yihan, thinking about other things, looked at Lin Yifei dismissively: “Then Yajing doesn’t need to worry. Congratulations to you both.”

Then she told Yajing to leave them be: “I have some matters at home; I’ll go first.”

Lin Yifei nodded. Yajing was so shocked that her cousin had a girlfriend that she didn’t even hear Gu Yihan’s goodbye.

“Cousin, with your family situation, aunt definitely won’t agree,” Yajing said with glee.

Lin Yifei tapped her forehead: “I’m not marrying your aunt; as long as I agree, it’s fine.”

Yajing looked at him with a “you’re in big trouble” expression.

On the way back, Gu Yihan was distracted, thinking hard about whether she had revealed that she was different.

Maomao sensed her emotional fluctuations and obediently followed.

Gu Yihan could be 100% sure: Lin Yifei’s girlfriend was from the future—a time traveler.
