"I have something to discuss with you." Ying Sisi mentioned the request for the betrothal gift and then moved on to learning to drive. "Before I went back home, Dad said that it's been so long and there's no further news. Can you help me ask around?"
Qin Yanci thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask him."
"Dad hasn't finished get off work yet, right? Why don't we talk about it when we go back to the courtyard tonight for dinner?"
"It's inconvenient to go back at night." Qin Yanci's eyes were burning.
Ying Sisi understood immediately, her face flushed with fear: "Will being unrestrained be bad for your health?"
"I know what's going on."
Ying Sisi reached out and tapped his chest, angrily saying, "What do you think? I don't agree!"
Qin Yanci felt a tingling sensation on the skin where she pointed, his brows relaxed. He reached out to hold her wrist, gently stroking it with his fingertips. In an instant, he became anxious and worried: "Si Si, if one day I no longer wear glasses, will you miss wearing them?"
Ying Sisi: “.” Why are you here again?
Wouldn’t it be nice not to wear glasses?
Why is he always confused?
But since he cared, she went along with him.
"Of course." She racked her brains for words of praise: "Glasses make him look gentle and refined. Like a high-level intellectual. Most importantly, he looks good."
Qin Yanci's eyes lit up: "Really? What if I don't wear it?"
"No one dares to mess with him because he's so cold and makes me feel safe."
Qin Yanci's expression darkened. Was it only his appearance that attracted her? And that person occupied her heart. "I'm going back to my room to read." He walked away.
Ying Sisi was confused. Was he angry?
She was sure she had said the right thing.
He followed with big strides: "Aci, aren't you looking for dad?" He deliberately put on a cold face, not planning to help?
Qin Yanci paused, turned around to meet her confused eyes, his heart softened, and he silently reflected on his attitude towards her.
Sometimes hot, sometimes cold.
She was not annoyed at all.
He should cherish such a good girl.
"I suddenly forgot." He said with a smile again.
Ying Sisi muttered softly: I forgot what I just said, I have amnesia.
After Qin Yan left, Ying Sisi prepared dinner.
There was a knock on the door. She thought he had forgotten his key, so she opened the door and recognized the old man downstairs.
"Hello, sir, what's up?"
"Girl, this is what happened. Didn't my house burn down? I have nothing left at home, so I went out to buy something. Those bastards looked at me, an old man from another place, and always gave me less things. I want to have a meal at your place." The old man rubbed his hands nervously.
Ying Sisi was stunned. It was the first time she had encountered such a request. She came to her senses and welcomed the person in: "Okay, please come in and take a seat."
The old man sat in front of the TV and asked, "Can I watch TV?"
"Sure." Ying Sisi turned on the TV for him, tuning it to a channel he liked, then poured him some water and offered him some dried apricots: "Have some tea and some dried fruit."
"Hey." The old man looked relaxed after being entertained. "We have a TV at home too. My daughter-in-law complains about the noise when she comes home from work and doesn't let me watch it. She even asks me why I don't watch it during the day because there aren't many programs during the day."
Ying Sisi was busy with the work at hand and didn't listen carefully, responding perfunctorily.
The old man kept talking, mostly complaining about his daughter-in-law.
For example, she disliked him spitting, not washing his hands and taking off his shoes after eating as she asked, etc.
"Well, I said I would go back to my hometown, but my son disagreed. He said that the happiness here is unrealistic! I don't know any of the neighbors, and when I want to visit, people don't understand me and ignore me, so I can only stay at home. It happened that the unit gave me meat coupons the other day, and the quantity was quite large. I thought that the weather was hot and the meat would not last long, so I smoked it for easier storage. Who knew that the house would be burned down." The old man became more and more upset as he spoke. He wiped his tears and began to wring his nose, shaking it on the ground and wiping it on himself.
