Chapter 224 Undercurrents



"I took turns working with another comrade."

Song Lan said, "It turns out that his shift partner had something to do tonight, so he had to ask someone else for help. I happened to be in this situation, and the other person asked me for help. Given this situation, and since we are all colleagues, do you think it would be appropriate for me to refuse?"

"Since the person he found can't work the night shift tonight, why didn't he ask another colleague before leaving get off work? Why did he have to wait until everyone had left to..."

Before Qin Yanzheng could finish speaking, Song Lan's smiling voice came out: "Qin Yanzheng, I know you care about me, but there's nothing wrong with colleagues helping each other. Besides, I'm just switching shifts with the other person, it's not a big deal."

After silently observing Song Lan for a moment, Qin Yanzheng sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "You need to learn to be a little selfish!"

"..."

Song Lan didn't understand what the man meant for a moment. Looking at her, Qin Yanzheng sighed again and said, "Kindness is not wrong, but you don't need to think too much about others."

Simply because he would feel sorry for you—silly girl!

Am I kind?

Song Lan found it somewhat amusing.

If they were truly kind, wouldn't hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of lives, once renowned on the battlefield, have been lost to the Tartars' slaughter?

Qin Yanzheng: How can these be the same?

When dealing with enemies, if you are not careful, you will die at their hands, so naturally you will be soft-hearted!

But they're talking about work now, not fighting on the battlefield.

Moreover, the security department is almost entirely composed of men, and some of them want to work shifts, so they don't mind having their wives as their partners.

Besides, his wife is a lesbian, so what exactly is the other party thinking?

"Qin Yanzheng, don't worry, it's just helping out on the night shift, it's really nothing." Seeing the man's lips tightly pursed and his silence, Song Lan smiled and reassured him, "I'm not kind at all, on the contrary, I'm very protective of my own, and I even hold grudges a bit!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng remained silent.

"I'm not a pushover, so don't think too highly of me. Otherwise, you might be very disappointed when you see me get tough one day."

Upon hearing Song Lan's words, Qin Yanzheng immediately shook his head: "Never!"

"You think I won't go all out?"

Song Lan asked with a smile.

"no."

Qin Yanzheng shook his head again, and then said, "No matter what you say or do, I will not be disappointed."

"you……"

Song Lan paused for a moment, unsure how to respond.

"I know you have to work the night shift tonight, go ahead, but you must be careful!" Qin Yanzheng didn't know what Song Lan meant by that, but he didn't think to ask. He spoke gently and gave her his instructions. Upon hearing this, Song Lan nodded and said "Mm".

"Remember this: to me, nothing is more important than you!"

As soon as Qin Yanzheng spoke the words from Heze, Song Lan's cheeks immediately flushed red. At the same time, her heart raced, and she said, "I have to go to work. See you later."

"What's wrong with him? He suddenly said something like that, and I didn't know how to respond. But isn't his trust in me a bit too much? No matter what I say or do, he thinks it's right."

Is that what it means? He won't be disappointed in me, which means that everything I say and do is right... Qin Yanzheng seems to be a person who is pure of heart, meticulous and serious, proud and aloof, and with a tough personality. How come he is a completely different person in front of me?

Is it possible that everyone becomes different in front of someone they like compared to how they act in front of others?

Holding up an umbrella, Song Lan quickly left the living room.

Little did he know, as Qin Yanzheng gazed at her retreating figure, the tenderness in his dark eyes seemed about to overflow. He thought to himself: That's right!

There is no doubt that he is responding to Song Lan's feelings.

The heavy rain kept pouring down.

"You skipped the night shift last night, so you're not skipping the night shift tonight either, are you?"

With her prominent pregnant belly, Jiang Caiying placed the food on the table and casually asked her husband a question.

“You’re about to give birth, and I was worried about you, so I switched shifts with a colleague.”

He Chunlei helped his wife sit down, picked up a piece of braised pork for her, and said, "Don't worry about my work. Taking care of you and the baby is more important than anything else."

“But didn’t you say that Brother Zhang could only work one shift with you at most? Could it be that you found another colleague…” Noticing that her husband’s expression had changed, Jiang Caiying’s heart skipped a beat. She asked, “Brother Chunlei, you didn’t do something bad, did you?”

"Don't think nonsense. I'm such an upright person, how could I do anything bad? Besides, you're about to give birth, I have to do my best to accumulate good karma for our son!"

He Chunlei's reaction made Jiang Caiying increasingly uneasy.

“My mother told me many times when she was alive that one must live with a clear conscience and never find excuses to go astray. Otherwise, it won’t just ruin yourself, but it could even ruin your whole family. Brother Chunlei…”

Before Jiang Caiying could finish speaking, He Chunlei interrupted her: "Can you say less?" He stood up and rubbed his temples hard. "My head hurts a little. You eat first, I'm going to lie down for a while."

Did they go astray?

Was he going astray? He was just doing someone a favor, and the other party said it was just to scare Comrade Song, that there would be no bloodshed, and that it wouldn't cause any damage to the factory's property, yet he would still get a 500 yuan reward.

It's five hundred, not one or two hundred, and not even a few dozen yuan.

Besides, the five hundred yuan was already in his pocket, so he had no chance to back out!

Well, He Chunlei never intended to back out. After all, 500 yuan was his salary for eight months. Right now, he was just doing someone a favor and getting 500 yuan in return. If such a good thing happened to other people in the security department, many of them would definitely choose to do the same thing as him.

After He Chunlei returned to the bedroom, Jiang Caiying was preoccupied. Her intuition told her that her man was definitely doing something bad behind her back, but he wouldn't say anything. What should she do now?

Perhaps due to the extreme emotional fluctuations, Jiang Caiying suddenly cried out in pain, and then her body swayed, sliding down from the small stool to the ground.

"Brother Chunlei! Brother Chunlei..."

Large beads of cold sweat dripped down her forehead as she cried out to He Chunlei.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Hearing his wife's voice, He Chunlei hurriedly came out of the bedroom and saw Jiang Caiying lying on her side on the ground, clutching her stomach and looking pained. He was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

"I think I'm going into labor, quick... quick, get me to the clinic..."

Grasping He Chunlei's left hand, Jiang Caiying endured the contractions in her abdomen and spoke intermittently.

"But it's raining heavily outside right now..."

He Chunlei was at a loss, but seeing his wife's pained expression, he finally gritted his teeth, got up, found a raincoat, covered Jiang Caiying from head to toe, and then picked her up and rushed out of the house.

He couldn't bear to watch his wife suffer; he was afraid that if he wasn't careful, his wife and unborn child would both die!
