Extra 43

"Are you still sleeping?" Bai Lin asked, noticing her sleepy appearance.

Qin Anning rubbed her eyes and smiled sheepishly, "I accidentally fell asleep after coming back from the hotel."

As if remembering something, Qin Anning quickly ran back, grabbed her phone, and saw that Xu Meng had indeed sent her a lot of messages.

Qin Anning picked up her phone to reply to her message, explaining that she had fallen asleep in the afternoon and hadn't heard it.

Bai Lin also came in and turned on the lights in the room.

After replying to the message, Qin Anning looked up at the man standing in the entryway. "What are you doing standing there? Come in and sit down. I'm going to wash up."

After Qin Anning finished speaking, she ignored him and turned to go to the restroom.

Bai Lin came to call her for dinner, and as he expected, Qin Anning hadn't eaten yet.

Qin Anning quickly finished washing up and then went next door to call Qin Man, who hadn't eaten lunch and was starving.

She almost burst into tears when she saw Qin Anning.

"I thought you went to eat by yourself again."

"I called you this morning, but you didn't want to go," Qin Anning said irritably.

Qin Man pouted, "I was too sleepy this morning, and I wasn't hungry, but now I'm really hungry, I'm starving."

"Alright, let's go." Qin Anning shook her head helplessly and pulled her out the door.

Bai Lin was waiting for them downstairs. When she saw the white figure, Qin Man sighed, "Anning, I think your cousin is better than your boyfriend."

Qin Anning was taken aback and looked at her strangely, "You've taken a liking to him?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I'm just stating the facts and simply praising him."

"Oh, I thought you were interested in him."

Qin Man pouted, "He's my cousin, you know. Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows. Forget about it not working out, even if we did, my dad would beat me to death."

"So what? They're not my biological children."

Qin Anning knew that Bai Lin was not her uncle and aunt's biological son, but the son of her aunt's classmate. He had no blood relation to her, let alone Qin Man.

Qin Man was somewhat surprised, "What? Really?"

Qin Anning coughed and shook her head, saying, "It's fake, just a joke."

"You scared me." Qin Man rolled her eyes.

Qin Anning glanced at her. "Is this scary?"

Qin Man grinned, "I was just seeing how good he was to you, and when you said that, I started to misunderstand."

Qin Anning frowned. "He's been good to me since we were little, so what's wrong with that? Don't talk nonsense, or he'll get angry."

What will happen if he gets angry?

"Forehead……"

This question stumped Qin Anning. What kind of anger did he have? Qin Anning really didn't know, because she had never seen it.

As the two were talking, they arrived in front of Bai Lin, and naturally ended the conversation.

Qin Man asked, "What do you want to eat? I'm so hungry, don't go too far."

"Let's go to the shopping mall up ahead, it's closer."

Qin Man nodded quickly. All she wanted to do right now was eat. She felt like she could eat a whole cow and didn't care what she ate.

The distance was so short that there was no need to drive; the three of them walked there.

Qin Anning told Qin Man about the trip and asked if she wanted to go. Qin Man naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

"Go ahead, why not? It's boring to death back at the company anyway."

"Okay, it's settled then." Qin Anning smiled.

After finishing her meal and returning home, Qin Anning took out her phone to contact Yang Jingyu, leaving the company matters to him for the time being.

In the past, Yang Jingyu would definitely have complained.

But now that I know she's heartbroken, I thought it would be good for her to go and clear her head, so I readily agreed.

Bai Lin went to his friend's place. He was busy for another day and could leave the day after tomorrow.

Travel spontaneously, without needing to plan ahead; just drive out when the time comes.

The next day, Xu Meng took her and Qin Man to Anshi for a stroll. They visited some tourist attractions, bought some local specialties, and then went home separately.

On the morning of the third day, Bai Lin appeared outside the room on time.

This time, Qin Anning didn't keep him waiting; she washed up and packed her things early.

Qin Man, on the other hand, waited for her for a full half hour. Qin Man even wanted to put on makeup, but Qin Anning simply dragged her away.

Just kidding, by the time she finishes her makeup it will be at least afternoon.

Qin Man didn't want to drive, so she asked Bai Lin to drive. Bai Lin was a kind-hearted person and didn't refuse her request. He told the driver to take his car back and then got into their car to act as the driver.

Qin Man exclaimed, "Cousin, you're such a kind person. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future."

Bai Lin laughed and said, "Is this considered giving out a 'nice guy' card?"

“We’re relatives, how can I give you the ‘friend zone’ card? I’m genuinely praising you. I really think you’re a very good person. You’re the most considerate man I’ve ever met.”

Bai Lin smiled but didn't reply.

Qin Man nudged Qin Anning's arm. "Right, Anning?"

Qin Anning was speechless. This person would say anything to get Bai Lin to be his driver.

But she wasn't wrong either, Qin Anning nodded, "Yes, that's for sure."

Qin Man seemed to suddenly remember something. She leaned forward and asked with a grin, "Cousin, are you like this with all girls?"

Bai Lin countered, "What?"

"It means being responsive, understanding, gentle and considerate."

"In that case, I won't have to do anything else."

Qin Man said "Oh," and added, "That's alright, I thought you..."

She was about to say "central air conditioning," but then she swallowed her words.

"What did you think?"

"It's nothing," Qin Man said with a laugh.

Qin Anning knew about this issue; Bai Lin was polite to people, but not the kind of person Qin Man described as having a "central air conditioning" personality.

She had seen girls ask Bai Lin for his WeChat before, and he would refuse with a smile. He didn't agree to help just anyone who asked.

The destination is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Anshi, and it will take a whole day to drive there.

Qin Anning fell asleep in the car and slept for four hours straight, only waking up when they arrived at the service area in the evening.

Before they even arrived at their destination, Qin Man was already complaining, saying that the car ride was too uncomfortable and that she wished she hadn't come on this trip.

Qin Man was already used to it.

She glanced at the map, sat down next to Bai Lin, and said, "Cousin, it's getting dark. Why don't we get off the highway here, find a place to stay for the night, and then continue our journey?"

Bai Lin nodded, "Okay."

"Then I'll book a hotel." Qin Anning used her phone and quickly booked a hotel.

It takes another half an hour to get to the hotel after getting off the highway. The hotel next to the highway is too remote, and there are cars coming and going, which affects the mood of staying there.

Once we get to the city center, we can still have some fun.

Around 8 p.m., the three of them arrived in the city center, drove to the hotel, and checked in.

Then she went out to explore the city, but Qin Man was too tired to walk any further, so she waved her hand and refused, saying she wanted to sleep.

Qin Anning and Bai Lin exchanged a glance. "Shall we go?"
