Don't understand

Wu Mei came to close her stall and go home. She carried the cake into the house and looked around, but couldn't find Liu Guiyan.

"Did he go to buy groceries?" Zhou Qianling guessed.

"No way. We come back around this time every day. She should know. I'll call and ask."

I dialed the number and heard a voice outside the door saying, "I can't escape from this colorful world..."

Then she turned the handle and walked in with red eyes. Seeing the two of them, she frowned, then forced a smile and said, "I didn't cook today, so I packed a few dishes." She waved the plastic bags in her hands.

Seeing the big box in Wu Meilai's hand, she asked, "Did you order takeout?"

"No, I passed by a cake shop and remembered that today was your birthday, so I bought one."

Zhou Qianling looked at her and chuckled. He had been thinking about her since morning.

Seeing the mother and daughter standing there motionless, Zhou Qianling stepped forward and took the things in their hands onto the table. As he opened them, he said, "Then let's finish the cake first and then have dinner?"

"Celebrate my birthday?" Liu Guiyan reacted and looked at the two girls lighting candles with mixed feelings.

After she left the market, she sat in front of the banyan tree for a long time.

It's a huge joke that a woman likes another woman. How can a woman like another woman?

How could she not know about the daughter she gave birth to? She was normal from childhood to adulthood, how could she become abnormal?

It must have been transmitted by Zhou Qianling!

But, could it be a misunderstanding? They just have a good relationship and can get along well.

"Auntie, please make a wish."

Liu Guiyan came back to her senses and felt a little uncomfortable facing Zhou Qianling's gentle and respectful gaze.

"Why celebrate a birthday when half of the body is buried in the ground?" She sat down uncomfortably, and imitated the people on TV by clasping her hands in front of her chest, muttering to herself: My daughter is normal.

If it wasn't her birthday today, she might have been overwhelmed with emotion, but now she was just confused.

After quickly finishing the cake, Liu Guiyan went into the house and lay down on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Zhou Qianling cleaned up the debris and said to Wu Meilai, "I can clean it up by myself. It seems that Auntie has encountered something. You go and ask her."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"You told me it was hard work." Zhou Qianling wanted to kiss her but held back.

Liu Guiyan was also awake, staring blankly with her eyes open.

She really couldn't understand how a woman could like a woman.

When she heard the door open, she didn't turn around and continued thinking about something.

"Mom, did anything happen to you today?"

Hearing this, Liu Guiyan slowly looked at her with a complicated look in her eyes.

After a while, she almost pleaded, "Little one, let's go home. It's time to harvest the corn at home."

"Let Dad beat you. I guess you farmed all these crops by yourself. It's just a matter of a few plots of land." Wu Meilai asked again, "Is this what you were thinking about today?"

Liu Guiyan shook her head. She looked at Wu Meilai carefully. No matter how she looked at her, she looked the same, a normal girl.

"Little one, I want to ask you something. Tell me the truth. I heard others say that you..."

Liu Guiyan couldn't say it.

Otherwise, what if the two of them were just good friends, and then they told them about it, letting them know that there were girls together, and then they gave it a try out of curiosity...

She turned her back and asked, "Are you really not going home?"

"No."

"Then I won't go back either. I'll stay and take care of you. When we make some more money, we can rent a place of our own. It's not a big deal to live in someone else's house all the time."

Wu Mei is here to block me, how can I still fall in love if I stay here...

"Mom, why didn't you come home suddenly?"

Liu Guiyan replied half-seriously, "I don't want to go back. Your dad likes to beat people."

Wu Meilai had nothing to say. No one wanted to go back after leaving Chaoxiong.

——

Zhou Qianling felt that Liu Guiyan was a little strange.

After going to the bathroom in the middle of the night yesterday, I saw Liu Guiyan sitting quietly on the sofa, staring at me.

"Auntie, are you awake?"

"Well, I can't sleep when I'm old."

"Then I'll bring a box of milk tomorrow so you can replenish your energy."

"Why are you so nice to us mother and daughter?"

Zhou Qianling paused as he pushed the door open and replied, "My sister is my friend, and her mother is my mother."

Wu Meilai sat on a small stool picking beans and explained, "My mother has never met any good people in her life. Plus, she's so poor that she has to think about the motives behind any kindness and not overthink it."

Zhou Qianling flipped the fried egg, his expression serious, "Does she know something?"

"No way, haven't we tried to avoid even physical contact?"

Speaking of this, the two sighed together.

Zhou Qianling looked back at the living room, bent over while flipping the pot and said, "It's been a long time since we kissed." After that, he closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

Wu Meilai chuckled, looked back, stood up and quickly touched her mouth, then sat back on the stool.

Just a small touch, and both of them smiled as if they had eaten candy.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Guiyan weighed some fruits and brought them up. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the two of them looking at each other and smiling brightly.

Dazzling.

That feeling of panic came back.

"Make some bean stewed noodles."

Wu Meilai misunderstood, but Liu Guiyan didn't ask any further questions. She squeezed in between the two of them, carrying an apple. After washing it, she smiled at Zhou Qianling and said, "Qianling, go eat some fruit first. Leave the cooking to me and my sister."

"……good."

Before turning to enter the living room, she heard Liu Guiyan say, "I've been walking around the area for the past two days and found a few that are suitable in terms of price and lighting. Let's go take a look after dinner."

"We live well here, don't we?"

"Then how can I live in Qianling's house forever?"

Zhou Qianling turned around and explained: "It's okay, it's more lively with more people."

"You can't always live in someone else's house, that would be embarrassing!"

The room was silent.

Wu Meilai frowned and said in a reproachful tone, "Qianling means well, why are you so angry at her?"

"I'm angry? I want to ask you, why are you so reluctant to move?"

Wu Meilai was speechless and stammered, "How could I not be reluctant?"

"If you're not reluctant, just move!" She softened her tone. "My dear, if you're worried about the rent, I'll pay it. I've actually saved some money secretly over the years. If it's not enough, I'll work in the factory to pay it for you."

Wu Mei came to look at her, and then looked at Zhou Qianling.

"Listen to your aunt, we can visit each other in our spare time." Zhou Qianling smiled. She was almost certain that Liu Guiyan knew about it.
