Yu Qian, caught in the "vortex," never expected to encounter locust flowers here.
That's why Xiao Dang is so carefree. Last time, Yu Qian asked her out alone, but she ended up inviting Huaihua along the way, which made both Yu Qian and Huaihua quite embarrassed. However, the two got to know each other because of this incident.
Seeing Huaihua crying so pitifully, Yu Qian couldn't help but feel sorry for her: "What troubles you've encountered?"
Huaihua stole a glance at Yu Qian and saw that he was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a slender waist, and had thick eyebrows and big eyes, which was quite fitting.
Her clothes were very appropriate; she was dressed neatly and cleanly, wearing the most fashionable floral shirt and jeans, and leather shoes.
But unlike other young people who wear pompadours and bell-bottoms, he has a very refreshing and capable look.
Yu Qian didn't not want to, but the fat man had beaten up Qinlonghu, who was dressed like that, last time.
While hitting him, he also tried to demoralize him: "Look at you, you're dressed like a moron, with your pompadour, bell-bottoms, and sunglasses. You look like a idiot. Are you going to rap?"
Although Yu Qian didn't understand what rap was, the silly young man could still understand it. When he got home, he quickly hid his bell-bottoms and sunglasses at the bottom of his suitcase and never dared to take them out again.
It's not just young men who like to look at beautiful women; beautiful women also like to look at handsome men.
Huaihua blinked, thinking to herself, "How come I didn't notice last time that he was actually quite handsome?"
Huaihua wiped her face and said, choking back tears, "I'm fine, I just want to cry."
Yu Qian was speechless. Who would want to cry for no reason?
However, he had little experience in interacting with girls and didn't know how to comfort her. He was also worried about what might happen to Huaihua, so he could only keep following her around.
Seeing that Huaihua wasn't heading in the direction of the courtyard house, Yu Qian couldn't help but ask her, "Aren't you going home?"
The mere mention of going home brought back painful memories for Huaihua, and large tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The fat man often says that women are most attractive to men in two ways: when they're languid and when they're crying. But not in a loud, wailing cry; rather, like a locust flower, they should cry quietly, their tears like pear blossoms in the rain…
Yu Qian was gradually drawn to her. He hadn't paid close attention to Huaihua's appearance last time, but now he suddenly realized that she had an oval face, a small mouth, and naturally bright red lips, with glistening teardrops hanging on her long eyelashes.
Huaihua was crying, her eyebrows furrowed, making her eyes appear even more watery; when she noticed Yu Qian staring at her, she cautiously glanced at him, like a frightened yellow muntjac, ready to flee into the deep mountains at any moment, truly a pitiful sight.
Noticing Yu Qian's gaze, Huaihua hastily wiped away her tears and said to him, "I don't want to go home. Come walk with me for a bit."
Yu Qian naturally wouldn't refuse, and the two walked side by side toward Wangfujing.
On the way, Yu Qian kept asking her if she was thirsty and if she wanted something to eat, which made Huaihua want to confide in him even more.
Finally, she couldn't overcome her urge to confide and vent, and poured out all her woes!
After speaking out, Huaihua felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart, and she finally felt relieved.
She felt every pore on her body breathing freely, and without caring that Yu Qian was beside her, she laughed and ran off.
Yu Qian was startled by her, and when he came to his senses, he noticed that when Huaihua ran, a shallow dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Just as Qian caught up with her, he heard Huaihua laughing and saying to him, "Go ahead and laugh at me! I'm a fool, the biggest fool in the world! Why don't I learn from Xiaodang?"
Her mental state was completely off. Yu Qian was very worried about her. He didn't care about whether they were men or women. He grabbed her arm and whispered, "Don't be like this. It's all your brother's fault."
Huaihua suddenly became sharp: "He's not my brother, I don't have a brother like that!"
Yu Qian chimed in, "Isn't that right? There's no such person! A grown man with hands and feet, yet he still asks his sister for money, how shameful! When I first came to Beijing, I didn't even have a decent set of clothes, but look at me now, I earn 1,000 yuan a month."
What? What is that?
Huaihua thought she was hallucinating. She asked incredulously, "Are you bragging? My monthly salary is only 40 yuan..."
Yu Qian got anxious: "How can this be bragging? Even your sister, Xiao Dang, makes 700 yuan a month!"
700? 1000? In that instant, Huaihua suddenly realized that her family and Fatty's family were like living in two different worlds.
The Jia family was still living off her meager monthly salary of 40 yuan, while right across the street, her good older sister, Xiao Dang, was already earning 700 yuan a month…
With a salary of 700 yuan, what kind of life could you live? Even if you ate meat every day, you still wouldn't be able to spend it all in a month.
Suddenly, Huaihua realized that she didn't owe the Jia family anything, so why should she support them all by herself?
She's 22 years old this year, in the prime of her life, and not bad looking either. Why is it that Yu Li can live a good life after marrying a fat man, but she can't?
Back in the 1970s, there was a saying in the courtyard house: "Girls should learn from Yu Li and marry a fat man." How could Huaihua not know this?
Huaihua couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark: "Oh dear, you've really had a laugh at me today."
Yu Qian quickly shook his head: "No, no..."
Huaihua sighed, "Thank you for spending so much time with me, but you should hurry back, or your girlfriend will get angry."
Yu Qian was stunned: "Girlfriend?"
Huaihua stomped her foot angrily: "Little Dang! So you've taken advantage of me and now you want to deny it?"
Yu Qian was speechless: "No, no, that's not how it is... Listen to me, we're just ordinary friends, really, we even had a fight a few days ago."
Huaihua's eyes widened: "Really? You're so good to her, and she still throws tantrums like that. She doesn't know how to appreciate it."
Yu Qian was at a loss for words, his face flushed with anxiety: "I, this, what do I have to say to make you believe me? Your sister and I really have nothing to do with each other!"
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Huaihua looked surprised and said, "Really? Everyone thought you two were a couple."
This really hit Yu Qian right where it hurts. Everyone thought he and Xiao Dang were a couple, but Xiao Dang didn't think so.
She only treated Yu Qian as a buddy, showing no romantic feelings whatsoever, which hurt Yu Qian deeply...
As for Huaihua, after confirming that Yu Qian and Xiao Dangzhen really had no relationship, she was overjoyed and couldn't help but run to the roadside to buy two popsicles. She kept one for herself and handed one to Yu Qian: "This is all I can afford. You won't mind, will you?"
When a girl treats you, what idiot would complain?
