"I'm back."

Seeing Qin Zheng enter the room, Ye Yun put down the woolen hat she was knitting and looked at him with a smile.

Qin Zheng hummed in agreement.

He took off his hat and his chilly military overcoat, ran to the stove to warm his hands for a few seconds, and then eagerly went to the kang (heated brick bed) to find Ye Yun.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated, and subconsciously reached out to grasp his hand.

The man's hands were a little cold, and two or three seconds by the fire was not enough to warm them up, so Ye Yun took his hands and tucked them into the warm quilt.

Qin Zheng was still a little reluctant, afraid of hurting her with the cold, but he happily tried to take his hand out.

He said, "My hands are cold."

"It's alright." Ye Yun chuckled, making room for herself on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), and patted the floor with her small hands. "Want to come up and warm up first?"

Qin Zheng shook his head.

"No, I'll prepare some foot bath water for you later. I'll go to my office and call Gu Jin; I have something to tell him."

Gu Jin didn't come to the company today, and he couldn't find her during the day. He was in a hurry to go home, so he couldn't go to Gu Jin's house to look for her himself. He could only call Gu Jin later to talk about work.

However, given Gu Jin's habit of never being home, you might not be able to reach her by phone.

Sigh, Qin Zheng was worried.

Ever since Gu's parents returned, Gu Jin has become this unstable.

Perhaps fearing being dragged back to his parents for blind dates, Gu Jin, who used to be inseparable from him, can no longer be found.

As it turns out, Gu Jin's disappearance was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Gu's father did indeed come to his place several times to look for Gu Jin. After all, no one knows a son better than his father.

After preparing a foot bath for Ye Yun and letting her soak in it, Qin Zheng turned and went to his office.

Soaking her feet every night has become an essential part of Ye Yun's routine. Even if she hasn't walked much during the day, Qin Zheng will habitually prepare a basin of water for her to soak her tendons and massage her ankles to relieve her fatigue from the day.

The room was exceptionally warm.

A moment later, Qin Zheng returned. The water in the basin was still warm. He habitually squatted down and began to massage Ye Yun's slightly swollen feet.

Ye Yun then asked him how Xun Xiangbin was doing.

Qin Zheng said, "I've had Lao Gao take him back. Don't worry, Lao Gao will take good care of him."

Ye Yun nodded.

She told Qin Zheng in detail what had happened that day, saying, "You should tell Lao Gao to be more careful. He's probably been driven crazy by his mother. A madman's thinking is different from a normal person's."

Just like the rumors she had heard before.

There was once a mentally ill mother who wanted to wash her daughter's hair. The child was disobedient and kept moving around, so the mentally ill mother cut off the child's head. After washing the hair, she tried to put the head back on. When she couldn't put it back on, she was puzzled and asked passersby: Why can't her daughter's head be put back on?

This mentally ill mother never realized that she had killed her daughter.

Similarly, in Xun Xiangbin's world, he probably doesn't know what death or danger is. He just wants the people around him to listen to him and cooperate with him.

For example, Xun's mother was locked up.

For example, Ye Yun, who almost couldn't leave today.

"I'll talk to Lao Gao again tomorrow." Qin Zheng was well aware of the danger involved. After saying that, he added, "Don't go out for the next few days. Just stay in the factory. If you want to wander around, go to the workshop. I'll have Erdanzi come back and go with you."

He and Lao Gao have been quite busy lately and can't get away for a while.

Erdanzi grew up with him, and if they were really in danger, he would risk his life to protect Ye Yun just like him.

"Don't worry, honey."

Qin Zheng dried her feet with a cloth, sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), placed her legs on his knees and gently massaged them, his low voice filled with a sense of security as he said:

"Give me at most another week. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll come back and spend every day with you."

Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh at him.

"What are you saying?" She lightly flicked her toe and brushed against Qin Zheng's chest through his sweater.

Recently, Qin Zheng has been busy with matters in the provincial capital. He and Lao Gao have their eyes on a piece of land, but because the location is so good, the competition is exceptionally fierce.

Qin Zheng has been leaving early and returning late these days, mostly spending his time building relationships with Lao Gao and vying for land.

If you think about it carefully, that piece of land has been dragged on for more than a month. Lao Gao and Qin Zheng have finished building their relationship. They only need a few more meals to make that land theirs. They can't give up halfway because of a small matter at this crucial moment.

The next day, Erdanzi returned to the garment factory.

No, it should be called Zhang Wenshun now.

Ever since Qin Zheng arranged a proper job for Erdanzi at the construction company, Erdanzi has rarely used that name anymore and has changed it to his real name, Zhang Wenshun.

Aside from those who came from his hometown and called him by his nickname, everyone else called him by his full name.

Another point is that the nickname "Erdanzi" is really not a good name to be heard in public. After all, the young man is of marriageable age, and it would be too presumptuous to still have this name.

So, Ye Yun is calling out now: Shunzi.

Shunzi said she didn't care and actually liked the name, giving herself the nickname "Six Six Great Success".

That's very auspicious.

With Shunzi by her side, Ye Yun felt at ease and took him for a walk around the factory.

An accident happened while they were out for a walk.

Ye Yunfang had just finished lunch and was walking slowly in the factory to digest her food when she suddenly felt a chill down her back. Turning her head, she was met with a pair of chilling eyes.

From a distance of more than ten meters, Xun Xiangbin clung to the railing, his eyes blazing with murderous intent as he stared directly at Ye Yun.

Ye Yun raised her hand tremblingly.

Erdanzi was slightly taken aback and quickly helped her up. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did your hand cramp?"

Ye Yun silently gestured for him to look towards the door.

Erdanzi glanced at the entrance and saw a man wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, clinging to the railing and peering into the factory like a madman.

"Emma, ​​did something scare you?"

Erdanzi quickly waved to the gatekeeper and shouted, "Sir! There's a lunatic at the gate, aren't you going to chase him away?"

The old man rolled his eyes in the security room.

You young man, you have no sportsmanship. Since you knew the other party was crazy, why did you still let an old man like him go out and fight?

A madman can be deadly when he goes crazy.

Ye Yun pressed down Erdanzi's hand and shook her head, "Never mind, let's go into the factory."

Erdanzi clicked his tongue, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. How could our thick iron gate not stop a madman? You've just finished eating, if you want to take a stroll, let's go. Don't be afraid of him! Besides, I'm here, aren't I? Don't forget my name. With me here, we'll have a smooth journey!"

Ye Yun remained silent: "..."

If you keep bragging like this, things might start to go wrong...
