Chapter 15: Working in a Coal Mine (1/2)



"Are you back? How is Yansheng?" Qin Shuang saw him come back and quickly poured him some boiled water.

Lu Sheng drank a sip of water, his clear eyes shining, "It's over, he's awake, mom is with him, there's nothing wrong!"

"Oh!" Qin Shuang responded, looked at him, and then said, "How about you? Have you eaten? What have you been doing all day? Why did you come home so late?"

"I..." Lu Sheng put down the porcelain bowl, not knowing how to answer.

Qin Shuang saw that he was hesitating, so he didn't ask any more questions. He glanced at the stove and continued, "You must be tired after working all day. I asked Grandma Wang to teach me how to boil water for a bath. Go take a bath and rest early after that!"

After saying that, she was about to fetch water, but Lu Sheng took her hand and led her into the room mysteriously.

"What?" Qin Shuang looked at his actions with some confusion.

He smiled, pushed her to sit on the bed, took out two things from the tool kit and placed them in front of her.

"This is for you!" he said, putting the fan and lotion in front of her.

Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the things in front of him, and then returned his gaze to his handsome face, "Did you buy these?"

"Dang!" He raised his eyebrows and said as he took out a useless power strip from under the cabinet. He then moved a wooden stool and stood on it. He took off the dusty wire cover, picked out a few wires inside, and started to modify it with a screwdriver. "Aren't you afraid of the heat? I just saw this for sale in town, so I thought of buying one for you!"

He skillfully worked on the interface, connected the circuits on the light bulb in series, and connected it to the power strip he had found.

Qin Shuang looked at him repairing the electric wires and felt a little uncomfortable. Yansheng was in this state, but he was still thinking about her.

"Have you pawned your bracelet? How much did you get? Is it enough for the life-extending surgery?" She asked again, looking at his tall figure under the warm yellow light.

Lu Sheng paused, covered the wire cover, lowered his head and got off the wooden bench. After a while, he said, "No?"

"No?" Qin Shuang frowned and looked at him. If he didn't pawn it, where did he get the money to buy the things?

Besides, what about Yansheng’s surgery expenses?

He stared at her guiltily, put down the tools in his hand, plugged in the fan, and the three-blade fan began to turn slowly. A cool breeze blew, dispersing the heat between the two of them.

"I found a job moving bricks in town, the wages were very high, so I thought about not making jade bracelets anymore?"

His vague explanation clearly showed an attempt to conceal the mining.

Qin Shuang stared at his handsome face, feeling somewhat puzzled, "Really?"

"Yeah!" He nodded. Seeing that she was still staring at him without saying anything, he quickly walked to her side and said, "Don't worry, that job was introduced to me by a former classmate of mine. He's very rich and has a very close relationship with me. When he heard that my family was in trouble, he introduced me to the job without saying a word, and the salary he offered me was the highest among all the others. So, I thought, I'll just do it first and talk about it later!"

Qin Shuang looked at his confident face and felt a little moved.

He looked very young, except for his height and figure which had grown into the standard of a mature man. There was a bit of childishness under his resolute facial lines, but the excessive pressure of life had forced him to grow up.

"Will my mother be pleased with you if you do this? And..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" He took her hand and said, "I'm a man, don't I have the ability to make money? Besides, in the future..."

"What in the future?" Qin Shuang asked.

He stared at her deeply, shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing..."

Qin Shuang sighed helplessly, turned his head and said no more, but when he glanced, he saw the deep scars on his arms.

"What is this?" She quickly pulled his hand over to check.

He was startled and quickly pulled his hand back and hid it, "Nothing!"
