Ying Sisi walked towards the access control area.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Qin Yanci standing across the road. In front of him stood a tall girl who looked quite pretty from the side.

Looking at him with a smile.

"Is this what he meant by getting some fresh air? Humph!" Ying Sisi turned around and walked back.

As they climbed the stairs, Qin Yanci's clear voice came from behind: "Wife, are you looking for me?"

Ying Sisi paused, turned around and denied: "No, I went downstairs to throw away the trash. Where did you go?"

Qin Yanci couldn't hide the smile on his face: "I saw you just now, are you jealous?"

Ying Sisi stopped pretending: "Why are you jealous? I'm just worried that if you invite me over, that girl will know I'm your girlfriend and misunderstand that I'm staring at her all day long." She immediately became embarrassed and angry, hitting his arm: "You're trying to trick me."

Qin Yanci hissed, "Can't you be gentler?" It really hurts to hit someone.

"Does it hurt? Then fight back?" Ying Sisi stretched out her arm in front of him.

Qin Yanci: "." How could he bear to do that? "I don't hit women."

Ying Sisi: "..." Who punched Li Yuwei in the eye and blackened it? "Then I won't touch you next time."

A smile played on Qin Yanci's lips. "Yeah." He took the initiative to explain, "The girl just now is from Teacher Jiang's family. I saw her downstairs walking out from the main road. I called her over, and she said she was here to visit her classmates. So I saw her off and we chatted for a while outside."

Ying Sisi nodded almost impassively. "So that's what happened," she asked, "Why don't you invite her to come home and sit down?"

"She was worried about missing the last bus, so she refused."

“.”

The two of them talked as they walked home.

After closing the door, Ying Sisi talked about her experience today and said disheartenedly, "I thought hair growth cream was a niche product on the market and would sell well, but I didn't expect anyone to want it. Besides, out of ten people on the street, nine have thick hair, and the only one with thinning hair is an old man. Most of the young men who are bald work at my father's workplace."

Qin Yanci comforted him, "The hair growth cream road is not easy to take, let's try another one."

"I'm not willing to accept this." Ying Sisi said.

It was a time-consuming and laborious process, and she even learned how to purify and dilute it, mixing the herbs in the right proportions. Giving up would be a shame, so she said, as if making up her mind, "Hold on. Perseverance is victory."

"Is there anything I can help with?" Qin Yanci hoped that he could play a role.

"If you study well, that's your help." Ying Sisi said with anticipation, "In the future, I'll be a big shot in the business world, and you'll be a prominent figure in academia. We'll be a powerful alliance."

Qin Yanci couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll try my best. What would you do if you became the person you want to be?"

"Give birth to a child to inherit the family fortune. I don't want everything I've worked so hard for to fall into the hands of outsiders."

Qin Yanci: "What if the child is mediocre and can't shoulder the responsibilities you give him, or turns out to be a spendthrift?"

Ying Sisi said seriously, "How can you know if your child is mediocre if you don't give birth? And whether a child is a loser depends on how the parents educate them. You see, there are no unruly children in the world, only irresponsible parents."

Qin Yanci was persuaded: "Let's prepare it tonight."

"Not tonight, I'm on my period."

Qin Yanci: “.” Come again?

“.”

The moonlight is hazy.

After finishing her meal, Ying Sisi continued to make the hair growth cream.

When adding the essence of the jasmine flower, she deliberately asked Qin Yanci to go out for a while.

Qin Yanci went downstairs when Aunt Sun called him: "Yanci, is anyone in your family sick? It smells like Chinese medicine."

"My family? No one is sick, and we've never cooked medicine."

"I thought it was coming from your house." Aunt Sun sniffed and said, "Now it's fragrant again."

The wind blows through the corridor.

Qin Yanci smelled the scent of the jasmine flowers and felt like his head was about to split open. He had no choice but to walk away in quick steps.

After Ying Sisi finished filling the bottle upstairs, she put away the hair growth cream, ventilated the room to remove the odor, fumigated it with mugwort again, and went downstairs to find Qin Yanci.

Qin Yanci leaned against a pine tree beside the road, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ah Ci." Ying Sisi walked up to him and said, "It's hot now. You lean against the tree. Aren't you afraid of bugs running over you?" Her sharp eyes spotted a cage on the ground. A closer look revealed a mouse, palm-sized, with yellow and white fur. "Where did you catch that mouse? I've never seen such a cute mouse in my life."

Qin Yanci: "This is a pet rat. The neighbor in the building said it was given to him by someone else. He didn't want to keep it anymore and wanted to give it away. I thought you would like it, so I asked for it."

Ying Sisi was very surprised that mice could actually be pets. "I really like them, but I don't know how to raise them."

"My neighbor said we can eat grass, either dried or fresh."

Ying Sisi gained some experience: "Then I'll borrow a sickle tomorrow and go to the suburbs to cut the crops."

"Um."

Qin Yanci picked up the cage and went home with Ying Sisi. After placing the mouse on the balcony, he returned to the guest room.

Ying Sisi found a piece of cloth and put it in the cage, made a small nest for the mouse, and put water on the side.

"Wife, help me peel an apple."

"Oh." Ying Sisi walked into the kitchen, washed her hands, opened the cupboard, picked out the largest apple, peeled it, cut it into slices, put it on a plate, brought it to the guest room, and when she was about to throw away the core, she thought of the mouse in the cage.

Place the core in the cage.

The mouse ate it with great enthusiasm.

Qin Yanci finished his fruit, put the plate back, and looked at Ying Sisi: "Wife, stop looking and go to bed early."

"Hey." Ying Sisi went back to her room to get some clean clothes and got ready for bed.

I was woken up by a creaking sound in the middle of the night.

Her hearing was already better than that of an average person, and at that moment, the sound seemed to be right next to her ear. "It's so noisy. The neighbors don't want it for a reason."

"I'll put it in the corridor." Qin Yanci pretended to stand up.

Ying Sisi held him back and said, "There are stray cats in the compound. They might be taken away. Leave them at home. I'll take the mice to the courtyard tomorrow. I'll go over there to feed them once a day." It was just in time to see when Lu Yuechun would move out.

Qin Yanci: "I raised mice to entertain you. Now that you've sent them away, what's the point of entertaining you?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we just move back to the courtyard?"

Qin Yanci: “.” She really planned to go back.

But it seems not bad to go back and live there.

Someone cooks the meals and someone cleans the place.

Both his wife and he can free their hands.

Ying Sisi listened to the sounds outside, adjusted her sleeping position, and tried to fall asleep.

When I opened my eyes the next day, my eyes met Qin Yanci's.

She shifted back in shock: "When did you wake up? How long have you been looking at me?"

"I just woke up, can't I watch it?"

Ying Sisi: "Sure, I'll go see the mice." She threw back the quilt, got out of bed and walked towards the balcony.

Qin Yanci: “.” He looked at her, and she looked at the mouse?

I should have known not to bring that rat back.

Ying Sisi walked over to the cage and saw the mouse lying on its side inside, motionless. She was amazed: "Aci, come and see, this mouse sleeps like a human."

After a moment, Qin Yanci approached: "Why does it look like it's dead?" He reached out and fiddled with it, but it was already stiff.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Ying Sisi in surprise.

After a long while, he asked, "Are the animals you raised in the village alive?"
