Chapter 154 After All, We Are Friends
"Ah Ci." Shen Yingying on the other end of the video saw Shen Ci's nervous face, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Oh, it's okay, your uncle-in-law was scalded by boiling brine a few days ago. He got a large blisters on his leg and is still in the hospital. He just changed the medicine."
"Burned by brine? How could you be so careless!" Chen Ci was still shocked when he heard this. Burns are the most painful, and changing the dressing is very torturous.
"It's your uncle's fault for being so clumsy. He accidentally knocked it over. The shop is small, luckily I wasn't in there at the time, otherwise I would have been burned as well." Shen Yingying sighed and said, "I was scared at first. Your uncle's calf was completely burned. Luckily the doctor said it was okay and that it would heal after the scab forms. It's not a big deal for a grown man like him to have a scar. He just has to change the medicine twice a day."
Without waiting for Shen Ci to ask again, Shen Yingying brought up the reason why Shen Jingjing had been going out early recently: "Recently, your mother was afraid that your uncle-in-law would be hospitalized and I would be too busy to take care of him, so she came early to help me. When she was not busy at noon, she stayed alone in the store, and I came to the hospital to take care of your uncle-in-law."
When Shen Ci heard this, her worries were dispelled. It turned out that this was the reason why her mother left home early.
But after thinking about it, Chen Ci couldn't help but mutter, "Aunt, you guys have to be more careful in the future. The store is small and the operating space is cramped. I think you should just listen to me and quit by the end of the year. I'll bring you to Longcheng next year and invest in a business for you."
Shen Yingying just smiled and said casually, "Auntie knows you are filial, but our small business is doing well. We make a lot of money every month, so you don't have to worry about it."
"That's hard work, isn't it? You have to get up so early every day and stay in the store every day. Guangrong and Suisui have grown up, and you and your uncle should take it easy."
"How can anyone not have hard work? You have to work hard at everything you do. Besides, your uncle-in-law and I are used to it and don't find it that hard. We've been braising and roasting meat all our lives, and we're very good at it. If you ask us to do something else, we'll be clumsy and uncomfortable."
Shen Yingying's words were quite sincere. She and her husband had low educational levels, and they raised their two children with this one skill. If they were asked to start other businesses, they knew they couldn't do it.
But Shen Ci didn't give in either, she just took a step back and said, "Let's discuss this next year."
Shen Yingying smiled. No matter what, her niece's attitude made her feel warm in her heart.
"Oh, by the way, Ah Ci, don't tell Ah Li and Xingxing about your uncle's injury. Ah Li was very worried when she found out on the crew, and Xingxing has to focus on his studies right now, so don't distract him." Shen Yingying did not forget to instruct Shen Ci.
Shen Ci nodded in understanding, and after hanging up the phone, she transferred another sum of money to her aunt. She didn't dare transfer too much for fear that her aunt would not accept it.
"Aunt, I can't help you much in Longcheng. Please buy some delicious food for your uncle-in-law. He's suffering from the burns. Please comfort him."
Shen Yingying replied, "It's no big deal for a grown man to suffer a little. What's there to comfort him about?"
Having said that, Shen Yingying still accepted the transfer, otherwise it would be too awkward. She knew it was Shen Ci's intention.
"Thank your uncle-in-law for his niece."
Shen Ci looked at the message and smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, Gu Lianxing pushed the door open and walked in: "Dear, Qu Yang is looking for you downstairs. Don't you have WeChat?"
Shen Ci shook his head: “I never took the initiative to add it.”
She didn't take the initiative, and neither did Qu Yang.
Gu Lianxing was a little shocked, but after thinking about it, it seemed quite normal for anything to happen to Shen Ci.
She is a very special person, different from others.
Chen Ci came downstairs to the dormitory in slippers and saw Qu Yang standing under the shade of a tree opposite. She smiled slightly and walked forward to greet him.
"Shao Yu said you've been very busy playing in the college league lately. Are you done with the competition?"
I haven't seen Qu Yang for a long time. He was busy with training and competitions. We didn't have any contact information, so we never had a chance to chat.
Qu Yang looked at Shen Ci and shook his head: "Not yet, the semi-finals are this weekend."
As he spoke, he took out two tickets from his pocket and said, "If you have time, come and watch it with your roommate."
Shen Ci was stunned when she heard this, and hesitantly reached out to take the two tickets and looked at them: "I don't understand basketball, and she doesn't understand it either."
"It's okay, come when you are free, no pressure." Qu Yang said.
When he spoke, his eyes were always looking at Shen Ci, his expression was very calm, and as before, he gave people a very steady and down-to-earth feeling.
But even if he didn't show anything, Shen Ci still keenly felt some of his hidden emotional fluctuations.
"Just watching a ball game?" Chen Ci looked at him and asked tentatively, "Nothing else?"
Qu Yang was surprised at Chen Ci's sharpness, but suddenly he grinned, and his neat white teeth looked particularly beautiful against his bronze skin.
"Yes, there are other things, but I don't want to talk about them now."
It wasn't that Shen Ci was being sentimental. The first thing that popped into her mind at this moment was, "Could it be that Qu Yang wanted to confess his feelings to her after winning the competition?"
However, the next second, Qu Yang seemed to be afraid that Chen Ci would have a psychological burden, and hurriedly explained: "But my invitation to you to watch the game has nothing to do with another matter. I just want you to have the opportunity to watch one of my games. After all... we are friends!"
friend.
This was the first time he had so clearly defined the relationship between the two.
Chen Ci is not stupid. She can see that Qu Yang is "secretly in love" with her, and there are clues in all the details.
Because she knows that when you have a "fireplace" next to you, you will definitely feel the warmth.
So Qu Yang said this in front of her at this time, which shows how restrained and tolerant he is in his love for Shen Ci.
Shen Ci's heart was inevitably touched. She smiled and nodded, and responded calmly: "Since it's a friend's invitation, then I will definitely go."
"Okay, it's a deal. And thank you for the shoes!"
"That's my thank you gift to you, so don't thank me."
Qu Yang resumed his reserved smile, then waved to Shen Ci and turned and strode away.
Chen Ci lowered her head and looked at the two basketball game tickets in her hand again. She still felt like laughing. After all, she really didn't understand the rules of basketball at all.
Those who usually gather at the basketball court and seem to be watching with great interest are actually just looking at the handsome guys.
The only thing I know about basketball is that it is round!
But what she cared about more in her heart was, what exactly did Qu Yang want to say to her but didn't want to say it now?
