As soon as Chen Yun finished speaking, the scene was quiet for five seconds before returning to life.
His uncontrollable smile with bared teeth and the happy look in his eyes couldn't deceive anyone.
Song Wei didn't expect that Zhen Zhen would gamble so big. No wonder Chen Yun confessed without even resisting.
"That's great. It's a honey trap."
Chen Yun laughed, a little embarrassed. He knew Song Wei would understand. After all, Ye Qin didn't even need to use the beauty trap. He just did whatever Ye Qin asked him to do.
Qian Yuan grumbled at Liu Qing, then looked at Song Wei, and then at Liu Min, who had a calm expression.
"No, are you serious?"
Liu Qing glanced at him and asked, "Why, are you jealous?"
Qian Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect Chen Yun to be so fast. But, "I was wondering why you asked Zhen Zhen to live with you some time ago. Why didn't I think of it then?"
"Hey, we just live in the same dormitory, not the same room. Don't say anything that will affect their reputation."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you. Ahhh, God is so unfair. I want a girlfriend too. I want to get married too! Can you let my second sister-in-law introduce one to me?"
Qian Yuan sat on the sofa and hit himself like a gorilla. Song Qi glanced at him when he came in and said, "Second sister-in-law doesn't have time to introduce you. Find a way yourself."
Qian Yuan didn't dare mess with Song Qi. He was too strong, even bigger than him. "Hey, I was just joking. I'm not in a hurry." After all, Li Jie and Sun Xiangyu were single, Liu Min was also single, and Song Wei might seem to be in a relationship, but in reality, it was no different. He wasn't in a hurry. Let his brothers and sisters find one first.
"You are almost two years younger than Secretary Chen. Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Min said calmly. As the oldest sister here, Liu Min, who was in her early thirties, spoke.
"I was just joking, haha. Come on, do you want to play cards or not?"
"I'm not playing anymore. I can smell the fragrance and my stomach is growling. I'm going outside to take a look." Song Wei stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to see what delicious food Ling Ju was preparing.
As soon as Song Weiyi left, Liu Qing put the cards away and several men went to the yard to smoke.
Tian Mei held Yuanyuan in her arms and coaxed him to sleep in the room. The little guy had just finished drinking milk powder and was feeling sleepy after burping him. Tian Mei put him in the crib and covered him with a quilt.
Ling Ju had stewed the beef ribs since they were bought in the morning. Several young people played cards and chatted for nearly two hours. The beef ribs would be ready after stewing for a while.
Zhen Zhen was chatting with Ling Ju in the kitchen and found that Ling Ju had added a lot of the seasoning "sugar", much more than usual.
“So many oranges?”
"Well, I see that Song Qi and Big Brother have lost weight. Big Brother even has dark circles under his eyes. I guess he's been busy lately and hasn't eaten the food I brought him well. I'm going to give them some nourishment. And you, you've been working for Yin Bolan for a while now and haven't eaten at home. I'm going to satisfy your craving."
"Oranges are so good! Alas, during his time, he always ate dry bread. He couldn't cook Chinese food, so at most he would make instant noodles to satisfy his cravings. When I cooked in my spare time, he ate more than me. At first I thought he didn't like Chinese food, but later I found out he just couldn't cook!"
Ling Ju listened to Zhen Zhen talking about Yin Bolan and suddenly became curious. "After spending some time with him, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Zhen Zhen thought about it carefully. "He's actually quite strange. At first he was quite cold and indifferent, making me feel like I couldn't do anything. But after getting to know him better, I found that he could be a bit of a jerk at times, like a second-rate person, and a foreign second-rate person at that."
"He does look like a gangster, but he's a handsome second-rate guy."
"Yes, and he has many other books that you don't know about. He also reads the I Ching and the Five Elements, but he doesn't even recognize many of the characters in them, and he occasionally asks me questions."
Ling Ju paused while cutting vegetables. "He's reading the I Ching and the Five Elements?"
"Yes, not only that, but also the Tao Te Ching, the Diamond Sutra and so on. He covers a wide range of subjects. He said that it was his hobby, and even though he couldn't understand it, he enjoyed the feeling of not understanding it. Haha, I don't understand it either."
"And doesn't he have four pots of water lilies? I don't know why, but at first I always felt eerie when I saw those flowers, but after seeing them every day, I didn't feel that way anymore. When I had free time, I even helped him water the flowers."
Ling Ju looked at Zhen Zhen and asked, "What does it feel like to be so sinister?"
"How should I put it? I felt like someone was watching me, that kind of feeling. Later he asked me to help water the flowers, and slowly that feeling disappeared. But I don't believe in ghosts or gods anymore, so I just let it go."
Ling Ju turned her back to Zhen Zhen and thought of what Yin Bolan said.
If Zhen Zhen also had a sinister feeling, it meant that there was indeed something wrong with the four pots of water lilies.
And Zhen Zhen’s identity might be what Yin Bolan said.
Zhen Zhen may be from the future, but she may not want to remember or may have lost her memories of her past life.
"Anything else?"
"Other than that, there's nothing much. Oh, he seems to really like Sister Sun Yun. He has a photo of Sister Sun Yun. It was taken when she was just around 20 years old in the desert. I don't even know where he had plastic surgery. He even asked me to keep it a secret, saying that the photo was not given to him by Sun Yun."
"Desert? Desert!" Ling Ju suddenly remembered that Ling Yong once told her that he had met Sun Yun in the northwest before.
"Yes, the desert."
Could it be that this is the period when Sun Yun was in the photo?
"Zhen Zhen, I suddenly feel like we should talk more!"
"I always thought you had no interest in Yin Bolan, so I didn't tell you. But he doesn't have much else to do. Every day he just eats, sleeps, runs the shop, or argues with me. He's actually quite lonely. Oh, and he often sits in the yard with his watch in his pocket and smokes several cigarettes at a time. It makes me feel sick."
"Pocket watch..." Ling Ju muttered to himself.
The last time Song Qi talked with Yin Bolan, there was no progress regarding the pocket watch.
All they could confirm was that the watch did have the same logo, and Shen Chun didn't know anything about it. The two elders of the Shen family were the ones who knew the most, but they were both deceased.
Chen Chun had sealed off the old house of the Shen family's two elders, and no one could get in except her.
The last time Chen Chun went to the old house was probably a few days after Song Xin left home to join the army. Chen Chun stayed at the old house for a day before returning.
Ling Ju has a bold idea. Could there be some secret in the Shen family's old house?
Or about the origin of pocket watches?
She was lost in thought when a broad arm grabbed her shoulder. "What are you thinking about? What can I do? Do you need help? I think the meat in the pot is almost done and should be ready to be served."
Ling Ju turned around and saw Song Qi's broad shoulders and handsome face. "When did you come in?"
"I've been here for a while now. I watched the fire, looked at the meat, and got the basin."
Ling Ju touched his forehead and took a deep breath. "I've been losing my number lately, so I didn't even notice you coming in."
"Are you worried?"
Ling Ju looked into Song Qi's eyes and said, "Yes, I'll tell you tonight."
