Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 92 Self-righteousness
When Bi Qiaoan came out of the kitchen, she found that Shen Yanming was the only one left in the living room.
"Where's Zhang Heping? Did he go back?"
"Um."
Bi Qiaoan put two plates of fried buns on the dining table, and Shen Yanming got up and went to the kitchen to get two bowls of seaweed egg drop soup.
"I did a lot today, and I thought Zhang Heping would stay for dinner."
Shen Yanming placed one of the bowls of soup in front of Bi Qiaoan, "You can't always come to our house for free meals, Heping will be embarrassed."
"It's not impossible. We all have to cook anyway, it's just a matter of how much we cook. By the way, can Zhang Heping cook by himself?" Bi Qiaoan knew that Shen Yanming's friends were the kind of people who never went into the kitchen.
Shen Yanming chuckled, “The most common thing in his storeroom is instant noodles.”
"Well, he's also a great guy!"
After the two finished dinner, Shen Yanming went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Bi Qiaoan picked up his phone and sent messages to Song Wenwan and Jiang Shanshan.
Bi Qiaoan: I’ll send you a link, take a look first, and then we’ll talk after you finish watching it!
Bi Qiaoan sent Qing Lishan's profile to the three of them in their sister group, and waited ten minutes before sending another message to the sister group.
Bi Qiaoan: Have you finished reading it? Do you have any thoughts?
Song Wenwan: Are you planning to go here?
Bi Qiaoan: Yes, during the National Day holiday, are you interested in going together?
Jiang Shanshan: I want to go, but the price is too high for ordinary people to afford!
Bi Qiaoan didn't know what to say for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said: The price is a little expensive, but it should be worth it. If you don't consider the price, do you want to go?
Song Wenwan: I want to go, but it will cost me three months’ salary, which makes me feel a little sad.
Jiang Shanshan: It’s even more so for me. My family members haven’t worked for a long time, and I just transferred 5,000 yuan to them.
Bi Qiaoan: Shanshan, didn’t anyone in your family sign up to be a labor worker?
Jiang Shanshan: I did. They were exhausted during this period, but it was a job after all. It’s just that it’s been less than a month and they haven’t received their salary yet.
Bi Qiaoan: So...you're not going? Chen Yanming's classmates will also go, and a few young people from our unit will also go. If you go, you might even catch a glimpse of someone.
Song Wenwan: Xiao Anan, I know you mean well, but your husband’s classmates are so well off that they definitely won’t look down on girls like us from ordinary families.
Bi Qiaoan: Sister Wen Nuan, what are you talking about! You are such a good person, whoever can marry you is blessed. Shen Yanming's friends are really not the kind of people who despise the poor and love the rich. I mentioned it to them privately, and they all have a good impression of you.
Jiang Shanshan: You have become bolder, little girl. You have done so many things secretly.
Bi Qiaoan: I am worried about you too, dear! Have you ever thought that this year is so abnormal, will it be worse in the future?
Song Wenwan: What does this have to do with whether we find a partner or not?
Bi Qiaoan: I think that if I have someone I can trust by my side, I may be more courageous when facing difficulties. Also, if I have a spiritual supporter, I can be more motivated when facing difficulties.
Song Wenwan: But my family is my support. They will give me courage and motivation, and I will work hard for them.
Jiang Shanshan: Yes, Qiao An, finding a partner really depends on fate. Just like you said, Shen Yanming’s friends have a good impression of us, but it’s just a good impression. If you really like someone, how could you not leave your contact information and make a private appointment to have dinner or watch a movie with that person?
Bi Qiaoan looked at the messages between Song Wenwan and Jiang Shanshan and found himself in a misunderstanding.
She and Shen Yanming both have no family, and they are the closest and most trusted people to each other. When she is with Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan feels warm and sweet, dependent and relaxed.
Therefore, Bi Qiaoan never paid attention to the power of her family. She only knew that she needed someone to accompany her in the end times.
Therefore, Bi Qiaoan wanted her good sister to have a partner who knew her and would stay with her, so she wanted to act as a matchmaker, because in Bi Qiaoan's mind, Shen Yanming's friends were trustworthy.
But who can say for sure about things like fate? Just like Jiang Shanshan said, if you are really interested in someone, how could you not even ask for contact information and use her to create opportunities?
After Shen Yanming cleaned up the kitchen, he saw Bi Qiaoan sitting listlessly on the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanming asked as he sat next to Bi Qiaoan.
After Bi Qiaoan handed the phone to Shen Yanming, he turned sideways and hugged his waist with both hands, pressed his face against his solid back, and said in a muffled voice: "I thought you were kind, but it turned out you were just self-righteous."
Shen Yanming quickly finished reading the chat records. "Your starting point is good, and your actions did not harm anyone's interests. After discovering the problem, you also had the courage to admit your mistakes. So I think my Qiao An is a great girl."
As he spoke, Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan in front of him, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "The best thing about my Qiaoan is that she never forces others to accept her values. She has her own ideas, but she can also listen to other people's opinions."
Bi Qiaoan felt a little embarrassed by the compliments, and said to Shen Yanming shyly, "But, I really want to travel with them. Even if they don't have a connection with Zhang Heping and the others, I may not be attracted to other people."
After she finished speaking, Qiao An realized that she had made a mistake again. "Oh, why did I do this again? I, I just want them to be happy."
"I know, but when it comes to relationships, only the person who drinks the water knows whether it's hot or cold. We just need to watch from the sidelines."
"Oh well!"
Bi Qiaoan nestled in Shen Yanming's arms, picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to her sisters group.
Bi Qiaoan: Ladies, are you really not considering going to Qingli Mountain? You have your little An An to keep you company!
The result is predictable. Song Wenwan and Jiang Shanshan refused. They planned to do some laundry and sleep in during the holiday, and then watch a movie and have a big meal together, which could be considered as celebrating the holiday.
Bi Qiaoan sighed: Okay, then I wish you have fun, Yanming and I will bring you gifts.
Seeing Bi Qiaoan put down his phone, Shen Yanming took out a bowl of milk papaya from the space, "Okay, don't be unhappy, eat some fruit."
Bi Qiaoan looked at the big bowl in his hand. The color was very beautiful. "Why do you want to add yogurt to the fruit you mentioned?"
Shen Yanming put his right hand to his lips and chuckled, “In addition to supplementing vitamins, you can also supplement calcium. Haven’t you noticed that you have developed particularly well recently?”
"I, I'm already in my twenties and I'm still not growing at all!" Bi Qiaoan said angrily.
"Whose underwear is one size smaller and needs to be changed?"
Hum, I want to smash the bowl...
