Chapter 511: Envious?

Lu Ye watched Bai Zhi and Shen Qian walking ahead, chatting and laughing, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

He was very happy that his wife had a good friend here to confide in.

That way, she wouldn't be so bored while he was busy with work.

Watching the two girls walk away, Lu Ye glanced at the young man beside him, his tone meaningful, "Actually, Dr. Shen is a really good person, her professional skills are outstanding, and she's beautiful too..."

Ye Qingbai didn't respond at all, only urging, "Hurry up and go."

"What's the rush?" Lu Ye pulled Ye Qingbai back, who was trying to avoid the topic, and squinted at him. "Do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Qingbai shook his head expressionlessly, "I don't understand."

Lu Ye wanted to kick him a couple of times, but he had to hold back because they were on the street.

He patiently said, "Then I'll be blunt. My sister could never have those feelings for you. You should be sensible and stop having unrealistic fantasies."

Ye Qingbai remained expressionless, ignoring his words.

“Look around at your peers. Dr. Shen is a really good person. If you make the most of it, I think you still have a chance.”

Lu Ye talked a lot with Bai Zhi last night. Bai Zhi told him that Shen Qian finally came to her senses and gave up on Xie Zheng, that crooked tree.

Lu Ye was deeply gratified by this.

She should have realized this a long time ago.

Xie Zheng is a playboy; he's not worth her wasting her feelings on.

"Brother-in-law, can you please stop bringing this up?" Ye Qingbai said irritably. "When did you become so nagging? Are you trying to become a matchmaker?"

"I just hope that everyone can be happy."

Having tasted the sweetness of love himself, Lu Ye naturally hopes that everyone around him can find happiness.

Especially their profession, to be honest, is very tough.

They need something to keep them going.

"In fact, when you change your perspective on a problem, you will find that the road ahead is wide. If you keep getting stuck on a rut, you will only make yourself more miserable and also cause trouble for others."

Ye Qingbai rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Let's go, we can't see anyone anymore, don't get lost."

Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, Lu Ye looked up and saw that Bai Zhi and Shen Qian had already disappeared into the crowd of people heading to the market ahead. He was slightly surprised and, without bothering to lecture Ye Qingbai any longer, quickly chased after them.

Taking advantage of my height, I stood on tiptoe and finally caught a glimpse of them.

He squeezed through and grabbed Bai Zhi's hand, saying, "Xiao Bai, slow down."

Bai Zhi was chatting happily with Shen Qian and didn't even notice that the man behind them hadn't followed. She laughed and said, "We're not walking very fast."

"By the way, where are the electronics stores over here?" she asked Ye Qingbai and the others.

Ye Qingbai asked curiously, "Cousin, why are you asking about the electronics store?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Let's go inside and take a look."

Her answer, of course, failed to convince them.

If you go in for a look, you'll probably end up making a purchase.

Of course, they were all aware of Bai Zhi's financial strength.

Buying a TV is as easy as buying groceries.

Ye Qingbai was quite enthusiastic about this; his cousin bought a TV, and he also wanted to take a look.

Ye Qingbai and Shen Qian were very familiar with each other in the county town, and they both pointed in the same direction.

They both said in unison, "It's just ahead, at the left turn."

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, both feeling somewhat awkward.

"Hey, you two are pretty in sync," Bai Zhi said. "Let's go for a walk then."

Lu Ye was afraid his wife would get lost, so he held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

The couple walked ahead, and Ye Qingbai and Shen Qian naturally followed behind.

The couple in front were chatting and laughing as they discussed what they needed to buy for their home.

The two people behind them had nothing to say to each other.

The two of them are single and don't need to buy any New Year's goods; they're just out for a stroll.

"Dr. Shen, how many days off does your unit give you?" Ye Qingbai broke the silence and casually started a conversation.

"I am currently on vacation, and I will be on duty on the third day of the Lunar New Year."

Ye Qingbai said, "Me too. I can rest for two days during the Spring Festival, but all work will continue as usual afterward."

Looking at the loving couple ahead, he sighed, "Our deputy battalion commander is so lucky. He got married, got a house, settled down, and now he can enjoy a warm bed with his wife and kids."

Looking at the two happy figures walking hand in hand ahead, Shen Qian couldn't help but envy them.

I wish to find one heart to share with you, and stay together until our hair turns white.

Of all these people, Lu Ye was the happiest.

Of course, as Bai Zhi said, it is also because he is willing to open his heart and try to understand and accept others.

He is willing to let people into his heart.

"Are you envious?" Shen Qian suddenly turned to look at him and asked.

Ye Qingbai replied decisively, "I can't envy that."

He wasn't so lucky.

Shen Qian didn't know about Ye Qingbai's situation. When she saw that he looked somewhat bitter when he talked about this topic, she casually asked, "Why don't you have a boyfriend yet?"

Ye Qingbai concealed the gloom in his eyes and smiled, "I don't want to look."

Shen Qian's eyes held a deep meaning; she didn't want to find...

Judging from his expression, there seems to be a story behind it.

The two fell silent again and continued walking forward.

Sudden........

An old man carrying a sack walked past them unsteadily. Because of the uneven road, he lost his footing and stumbled, causing the sack to fall from his shoulder and hit Chen Qian on his right.

"Watch out!" Ye Qingbai reacted quickly, extending his strong arm to support the sack and prevent it from hitting Shen Qian.

Of course, Shen Qian reacted quickly. Realizing the danger, she turned to the side and helped Ye Qingbai hold up the sack.

The sack was full of bumps and holes, and it looked like it contained potatoes or something similar.

If it really hit her, it would probably stun her.

She straightened up, tidied her hair, and said, "Thank you."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I almost hit this lady. I didn't mean to. Are you alright?"

The old man, dressed in patched and coarse clothes, got up from the ground and apologized, dragging his disheveled body.

Seeing that the two men were well-dressed, he was terrified, fearing he might offend the city folk.

"I'm fine." Ye Qingbai propped the sack against the wall and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

The old man said, "It's nothing, it's just that the road is uneven, and I tripped over it."

Ye Qingbai said gently, "I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself."

The two people didn't pursue the matter, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief, repeatedly saying thank you.

He helped the old man carry the large sack back onto his shoulder, the weight of which bent the old man's back.

Ye Qingbo couldn't bear to see such human suffering, and he sighed, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Shen Qian looked at Ye Qingbai's heartwarming actions and a hint of appreciation appeared on her face.

After the old man left, the two looked up and found that Lu Ye and Bai Zhi were no longer there.

The two quickly chased after him into the electronics store.

The couple was already strolling around inside.

Sure enough, Bai Zhi was planning to buy a television. "Boss, could you tell us about this color TV?"

The shop owner was surprised to find such a big customer on the last day of the Lunar New Year. He was excited and enthusiastic, saying, "You two have excellent taste. This 21-inch color TV is from Changhong. It's the latest model on the market right now."
