Xu Guiying nodded and pointed to the noodle shop next door, "Oh, I see. It's dark now, I'll take you to eat noodles."
Qian Yu'an quickly waved his hand.
"Auntie, no need, no need. Your foot is still injured. Where do you live? Let me help you home."
Xu Guiying smiled and said, "My home is in Heping Lane, it takes half an hour to walk there. If you take me home, it will be late when you get back."
Qian Yu'an then said, "I live not far from here. I have some medicine for sprains and bruises at home. Let me take you back first. It's only a ten-minute walk."
Xu Guiying: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
"No trouble at all."
The police station is right next to Qian Yu'an's house, so she feels safe. Even if Xu Guiying is a bad person, she's not worried.
If Xu Guiying wasn't lying to her, then Qian Yu'an would consider it a good deed.
Xu Guiying didn't actually sprain her ankle. Pretending to be lame was tiring, and she also had to worry about not actually spraining her ankle.
Qian Yu'an also lived in a small alley, in an even more dilapidated house than her elder brother's.
The yard is very small, and the kitchen room is also excessively small.
Qian Yu'an saw Xu Guiying looking at the sparse tiles, her face slightly flushed, and said, "The rent here is cheap, I'll go find some medicine."
Xu Guiying also saw buckets under the eaves to collect rainwater.
She sighed inwardly. Qian Yu'an placed the medicine on the table and made a gesture as if to apply it to Xu Guiying.
Xu Guiying quickly stopped her, saying, "I can do it."
Qian Yu'an then said, "Then I'll go cook some noodles. Hmm... we've run out of rice at home. I didn't have time to buy any today."
Xu Guiying nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
Xu Guiying continued to look around the room and saw that high school textbooks were still on the small table by the wall.
Qian Yu'an quickly cooked the noodles and brought them out. Only Xu Guiying had an egg in her bowl. Qian Yu'an explained, "I already ate my egg in the kitchen."
Xu Guiying picked up a fried egg and handed it to her, explaining, "I have high blood pressure, so I can't eat eggs."
Qian Yu'an had no knowledge of high blood pressure, so she asked, "Can't I eat it?"
Xu Guiying smiled gently, "Yu'an, you can eat it."
Qian Yu'an said "oh" and ate in small bites.
As Xu Guiying ate, she pondered that she needed to find Qian Yu'an a different place to stay.
