"Yes, I just came out of the convenience store and saw that idiot from afar. I saw him walking towards me, so I quickly ran back." Zhou Cailian had just gone to the convenience store to make a phone call. Huang Xiaomei had called the convenience store earlier, and they came over and told them to answer the phone in ten minutes, so she called directly.
As a result, she ran into that idiot as soon as she came out of the convenience store, which is why she was so scared that she ran back.
"You'd better be more careful when you go out in the future. That family is really something. That idiot keeps harassing women like that, how could they let him out?"
Qin Yang overheard a bit, but didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that Zhou Cailian was alright, he left.
After he left, Zhou Cailian asked, "Mom, why did Officer Qin come?"
"He came to tell us about dinner this Saturday."
"Oh, where are we eating? Not at his house, are we?"
"No, it's Kangji Restaurant on North Street."
Zhou Cailian was actually a little reluctant to go. "Mom, maybe I shouldn't go that day..."
"Go ahead and go. It's all agreed upon, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just be natural." Yu Qiuying knew that Cailian was afraid of feeling awkward and didn't want to go, but that day, people specifically asked Cailian to come along. It was all agreed upon, and it wouldn't be good if Cailian didn't go.
"Oh, okay." Zhou Cailian sighed helplessly. She definitely couldn't be as poised and confident as her mother had described; even just facing Qin Yang, she couldn't speak fluently.
She was always afraid of interacting with other people, especially men.
Qin Yang not only has the identity of a police officer, but he is also a very serious person. This is the third time I have seen him, and I have never seen him have any other expression on his face, let alone smile.
Moreover, Qin Yang's eyes were as deep and cold as a still pool; when she looked into them, she always felt a chill run down her spine.
Yu Qiuying had no idea what Zhou Cailian was thinking. She asked Huang Xiaomei what she wanted to talk about when she called.
Remembering the important matter, Zhou Cailian hurriedly said, "Mom, Aunt Qiu said that Caixiang was frightened by someone while sleeping last night. Caixiang went to Aunt Qiu's house this morning. She said that she doesn't want to go home during holidays and wants to stay at Aunt Qiu's house instead. Aunt Qiu called us just to tell us that Caixiang can come to her house during holidays. She didn't say anything else."
"Alright, let her stay at the Qiu family's house." Yu Qiuying really hadn't thought about whether Zhou Caixiang, a girl, would be safe at home. After coming here, she completely forgot about Zhou Caixiang at home.
Although she didn't want to care about Zhou Caixiang anymore, she didn't want anything to really happen to her.
Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye. The lunch appointment with the Qin family was at noon, and Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian both wore new clothes today.
Looking at Zhou Cailian's unchanging two braids, Yu Qiuying said, "Cailian, don't wear your hair in two braids anymore. I'll give you a bun."
Cailian's skin has gotten a bit fairer recently. After not working in the fields all winter, her skin isn't as rough anymore.
The saying "fair skin covers a hundred flaws" is really true.
Cai Lian used to have dark, rough skin. She didn't dress up and looked very ordinary, and she was also a bit dull.
Now her skin is less rough, and her complexion is fairer. In addition, after being out for so long, she has seen more of the world and met more people. She seems to have gained a kind of spirit, becoming more vibrant and lively.
But her two braids really make her look a bit older.
Zhou Cailian herself didn't seem to mind, saying, "I'm used to it..."
Yu Qiuying styled her hair into a bun, combed up her bangs, and secured them with small black clips, making her look instantly younger.
She handed the mirror to Zhou Cailian, "Look at yourself, you look better without bangs. This way of tying your hair makes your neck look longer."
Zhou Cailian felt a little uncomfortable, but she also felt that her hairstyle looked much better than two braids, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Seeing her somewhat awkward and uncomfortable look, Yu Qiuying straightened her back and made her look directly in the mirror. "We dress up not to show off to others, but to make ourselves happy. Our family didn't have the means to dress up before, but now that we do, we should learn to dress ourselves up. Look how beautiful you are."
