"Brother Zheng, I'm planning to send two more packs of cigarettes to Qianqian's brother and ask him if he can help me with the small truck business. Do you have any good suggestions?" Erdanzi wiped away all the melancholy from his expression and looked at Qin Zheng expectantly.
I thought to myself: This is the last time, I'll ask one last time. If it really doesn't work, then I'll just give up.
His repeated defeats and subsequent attempts to fight again and again invigorated Qin Zheng. A faint sense of helplessness appeared in Qin Zheng's eyes. He rubbed his forehead, stared at him for two seconds, and said with a hint of disdain, "Do you want me to help you get married too?"
"No, that would be too unfair to my brother."
Erdanzi was still laughing, completely oblivious to the sarcasm in Qin Zheng's words, and even glanced at Ye Yun teasingly, "Besides, your sister-in-law is still here."
Qin Zheng: "..."
That's great, such a big love-struck brain.
Qin Zheng felt that things were getting a bit tricky.
First, he had never encountered such a thing before; second, he had never encountered such a thing before.
Compared to Erdanzi's bumpy love life, his marriage was incredibly smooth. Thinking about it, he was truly grateful that Ye Yun liked him.
If Ye Yun doesn't like him, then he'll probably be just as overwhelmed as Erdanzi.
Qin Zheng wondered what he would be like now if Ye Yun hadn't stayed on their wedding day and had instead left with Zhao Wensheng.
"Qin Zheng?"
Before Qin Zheng could even begin to think, the woman's gentle voice brought him back to his senses.
Ye Yuntai looked at him with concern.
Looking into the worried eyes of the little woman, he hugged her tightly. Why think about so many troubling things? His wife is right here beside him.
Ye Yun, who was suddenly hugged, stammered, "Uh..."
What happened all of a sudden?
She gently nudged Qin Zheng's shoulder and whispered, "Er Danzi asked you for help; could you keep an eye on him?"
Qin Zheng looked up, displeased.
He met Erdanzi's sullen face.
Erdanzi's face was filled with bitterness, and his tone was aggrieved and dissatisfied: "Brother Zheng, I came to you to complain about my relationship problems, but you hugged and kissed your sister-in-law in front of me. You're really not being fair."
"Did I ask you to come to me to complain?" Qin Zheng retorted, his tone displeased.
Can't he even hug his wife?
Who says you can't hug your wife when you're having relationship problems? Mind your own business!
"Go do what you need to do, don't delay me from getting along with my wife." Qin Zheng no longer pitied Erdanzi, put his arm around Ye Yun's waist and turned to walk home.
Erdanzi quickly grabbed him, "No way, Brother Zheng, are you really that heartless?"
"So what do you want me to say?"
Qin Zheng glanced at him, clearly giving up on giving him advice, and his words carried a hint of displeasure, "As a friend of many years, I naturally hope you can marry the girl you like, but as a man, I don't want you to be too humble. If a girl has no feelings for you and has clearly told you so, and you still try to get her to accept you again and again, isn't that harassment for her? And for you, isn't that just demeaning yourself?"
Erdanzi was stunned.
Ye Yun tugged at Qin Zheng's sleeve, "Don't speak in such profound terms, he won't understand."
Qin Zheng: "Then explain it in simpler terms?"
Ye Yun turned to look at Erdanzi, her tone official: "Your brother Zheng said your behavior is actually very annoying, and that you're despicable."
Erdanzi was dumbfounded.
After a long pause, he said with trembling lips, "Sister-in-law, I understand. You don't need to tell me so bluntly again."
"oh."
"Okay, sister-in-law, you take a rest first." Erdanzi nodded, regained his spirits, and looked at Qin Zheng again, his tone serious: "Brother Zheng, I understand what you're saying, but I'm just an uneducated hoodlum. What great things do you expect me to achieve?"
"Then why did you come looking for me?"
"What if this didn't happen? If it were you, and you liked your sister-in-law and wanted to marry her, but she didn't like you, what would you do?" Erdanzi shouted, his neck turning red with rage.
Qin Zheng's expression suddenly darkened.
Ye Yun quickly reached out and hugged the man's waist, then turned and gave Erdanzi a reproachful look, "You can't talk nonsense like that!"
It could lead to someone's death, right?
"Why can't I say this?" Erdanzi muttered in dissatisfaction, hanging his head dejectedly.
Seeing his pitiful state, Ye Yun sighed and patted his shoulder. "Your brother Zheng is angry that you don't respect yourself enough. You're a person too, and you shouldn't keep degrading yourself to the point of exhaustion just to pursue someone else. He's also angry that your behavior is indeed not a good strategy. Your predicament is indeed difficult to solve. You've gotten stuck in a rut, insisting that you can't do without someone else. But you know that you and Qianqian are not on equal footing, so who can help you when you're down? What's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced. Calm down and think it over carefully, and don't be so persistent."
Erdanzi scratched the back of his head. "I really should think about this."
Ye Yun nodded.
"It's enough that you understand it in your heart. No matter what others say, it's useless. In the end, you have to understand it yourself."
"I see."
Erdanzi answered without hesitation.
Suddenly he slapped the back of his head, "Oh no, it's lunchtime! I haven't seen Qianqian yet today!"
"ah?"
"Qianqian eats in her yard. I can climb over the wall to catch a glimpse of her. I'm off now, sister-in-law!" With that, Erdanzi turned and left, leaving only a hurried silhouette.
Ye Yun, "..."
Goodness.
So all that talk she gave was for nothing?
Is there any hope for this love-struck person?
"It's probably hopeless." Qin Zheng looked in the direction Erdanzi left and scoffed helplessly.
Ye Yun looked up at him.
