"But you're kind of lovable when you're bad."

This is the second half of Song Qi'an's sentence.

Zhou Sui was taken aback. What kind of contradictory statement was this? Bad people are likable?

And these words don't sound like they came from Song Qi'an's mouth.

Zhou Sui stopped and looked at the person next to her, wanting to confirm if this was really Song Qi'an.

But upon looking at him, she suddenly became lost in thought. It wasn't that she was captivated by Song Qi'an's good looks, but images suddenly flashed through her mind!

The person inside was none other than Song Qi'an, surrounded by many people wearing safety helmets in a very remote place.

Those people had fierce expressions, as if they were about to attack someone at any moment.

“Zhou Sui?” Song Qi’an saw that her eyes were empty and gently patted her shoulder.

The image in her mind vanished without a trace again. Based on her previous two experiences, Zhou Sui knew that this was another hint.

"What's wrong?" Song Qi'an lowered his head slightly, noticing that Zhou Sui's expression was not good.

Zhou Sui shook her head. She was fine, but judging from the hints, it was Song Qi'an who was in trouble.

She was still wondering to herself, thinking that the hints would only be about things related to herself, but she didn't expect that they could also be about other people.

At this point, Zhou Sui hadn't yet realized that there was any necessary connection between the two.

"Song Qi'an, are you still in school or already working?" Zhou Sui asked casually.

"Work." Song Qi'an straightened up only after seeing that her complexion had returned to normal.

"Oh." Zhou Sui nodded, having answered the question, but it seemed to have little effect. "What kind of work do you do?"

"I'm starting a small business with a friend," Song Qi'an replied matter-of-factly. "I heard from your brother that you're going to set up a stall and do business now?"

Zhou Xu can't keep a secret. I bet he went to the Zhao family yesterday and talked non-stop about how he sold clothes and food.

“It’s a small business, nothing compared to what you have.” Zhou Sui could tell that Song Qi’an’s clothes and watch were not cheap.

As for the small business he mentioned that he was doing with a partner, that was probably just him being modest.

"You don't even know what I do, yet you think yours is inferior to mine?"

Yesterday, I heard quite a bit about Zhou Sui from Zhou Xu. It's admirable that a young woman like her has courage, determination, and intelligence.

"So what do you do?" Zhou Sui asked, seizing the opportunity.

"Helping people build houses."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui realized it matched the scene in the video. After carefully considering her words, she subtly reminded him, "Then the people working with you must be big, burly men, right?"

Song Qi'an thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then you'd better be careful. You always have such a dark face. Who knows, someone might take a dislike to you and beat you up."

Song Qi'an couldn't help but laugh. "During my years in the army, I always came in first place in combat assessments."

Zhou Sui hadn't expected him to be so powerful, even though he didn't look particularly fierce.

"Just be careful, don't go to remote places, and it's best not to go alone."

No matter how powerful Song Qi'an is, he can't withstand a large number of people. There's a saying that goes, "Two fists can't beat four hands."

These strange words drew Song Qi'an's attention. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Sui smiled slyly and said half-jokingly, "Handsome guy, I see a dark look on your face. It seems trouble is coming. Be careful."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from the front, "Qi An".

"Mom?" Song Qi'an looked up and saw Zhao Wenxiu walking towards him with a vegetable basket in her hand.

"Mom came to the garden to pick some vegetables, and I didn't expect to run into you here." Zhao Wenxiu spoke softly, and her gaze fell on Zhou Sui as she walked over.

Zhou Sui greeted her politely, "Aunt Zhao."

Zhao Wenxiu looked at Zhou Sui for a while, then exclaimed, "Aren't you the Zhou family's daughter, Sui Sui?"

Zhou Sui was surprised that she recognized her. "Yes, that's me."

Zhao Wenxiu looked Zhou Sui up and down with surprise, "It's been so many years since I last saw her. Sui Sui has grown into a beautiful young woman and is so tall now."

“When you were a little over two years old, your mother took you out to visit relatives. It just so happened that I was going back to my parents’ home, and I was holding you tightly and wouldn’t let go.”

"Back then, she was a chubby, rosy-cheeked little girl, so adorable."

Zhou Sui had no recollection of this; she didn't remember anything from when she was two years old.

“Qi An, you were four years old then. When you saw Mom holding Sui Sui, you threw a tantrum and said you wanted to hold this little sister yourself and let Mom hold you.”

When talking about what happened back then, Zhao Wenxiu's smile deepened.

Zhou Sui and Song Qi'an were surprised. If Zhao Wenxiu hadn't mentioned it today, they wouldn't have known there was such a thing.

"She's grown up so much in the blink of an eye, but Sui Sui is still as beautiful as she was when she was little," Zhao Wenxiu praised.

"By the way, Sui Sui, are you studying or working now?"

Zhou Sui wondered if it was just her imagination, but Zhao Wenxiu seemed unusually warm towards her.

"Aunt Zhao, I'm starting my own little business now."

"What are you doing?" Zhao Wenxiu asked, and Song Qi'an tugged at her.

"Mom, weren't you going to pick vegetables? Come on, I'll go with you." He knew his mother's personality; she would ask all sorts of questions when she met someone she clicked with.

Zhou Sui was clearly taken aback by her enthusiasm; if she continued to ask questions, the young girl might think she had encountered a bad person.

"Yes, your grandma is waiting for my dishes to come back and cook." Zhao Wenxiu then remembered the important matter, but still didn't forget Zhou Sui.

"Sui Sui, let's go to Aunt Zhao's house for a visit."

Zhou Sui declined, saying, "Aunt Zhao, my family is waiting for me to pick vegetables and cook them."

"Please come in and have a seat when you have time. I won't keep you any longer. I'll be going now."

After saying hello, Zhou Sui ran off in a flash. She clearly felt that it wasn't her imagination; Zhao Wenxiu's gaze towards her was burning with passion.

"Mom." Watching Zhou Sui's hurried departure, Song Qi'an rubbed his forehead. "You scared that young girl away."

Zhao Wenxiu glared at her son, "Little girl? Qi An, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming your mother for scaring the little girl away?"

Song Qi'an rubbed his forehead. "Mom, I didn't mean anything by it."

Zhao Wenxiu refused to believe it, "Mom knows you well enough to know you. You always call the girls around you by their first names. When have you ever called them 'little girl'?"

"Qi An, tell Mom, is it... you and Sui Sui..."

"Mom, stop!" Song Qi'an called out urgently, knowing exactly what Zhao Wenxiu was going to say next.

"We just bumped into each other on the street and chatted."

Zhao Wenxiu still looked curious, "Then tell me, how did you meet Suisui? You've never been back to the village before, how did you meet Suisui?"

Song Qi'an took her hand and walked into the vegetable garden. "Mom, let's pick some vegetables first."

If he doesn't pick the vegetables soon, he and Zhou Sui might really end up having an affair.
