Qin Jingru was surprised that Xu Damao would come and take her hand right there.
This sudden action made her blush, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but didn't withdraw it.
Qin Jingru had never experienced love before. When Xu Damao confessed his feelings to her, her heart immediately raced, and her eyes showed a mix of panic and shyness.
Xu Damao's eloquence would make winning over Qin Jingru no problem.
"Brother Da Mao, I'm just a country girl..." Qin Jingru lowered her head, thankfully her grain bag wasn't big, so there was no need to worry about danger.
Xu Damao squeezed Qin Jingru's hand: "Jingru, didn't I just say that you are the destiny I've been waiting for? Destiny is predetermined by heaven, how could I care about your household registration?"
"What I value most about you is you as a person. You are kind, beautiful, and sensible—that's what's most precious, you know?!"
Xu Damao was overjoyed to see that he was about to successfully seduce the shy Qin Jingru.
You stupid Zhu, you're just waiting to eat shit behind my ass!
You even wanted to go on a blind date with Qin Jingru? I'll not only ruin it for you, I'll steal her away too! Just wait and see how disgusting you get!
"How am I supposed to tell my sister when I get back?"
The thought of her cousin Qin Huairu wanting to introduce her to that man made Qin Jingru feel nauseous.
Xu Damao glared at her: "Jingru, you can't bring up your sister's relationship with Shazhu. Oh, by the way, Shazhu is He Yuzhu, whom your sister is going to introduce to you. Everyone in the courtyard calls him Shazhu."
"Is he still an idiot?"
"She's not stupid, but she's not entirely naive either, otherwise how could she have been fooled by your sister all this time?"
Xu Damao got really into teasing Sha Zhu in front of Qin Jingru, saying, "Just tell him that you and I are really compatible, that we've hit it off, and that you want to date me. Just tell him to dump Sha Zhu."
"Also, you'll stay at your sister's house tonight. Tomorrow I'll take you around the city and we'll buy you some clothes. With Jingru's looks, she'll look like a fairy when she's dressed up. She'll make that old hag Jia Zhangshi furious when we get back."
Qin Jingru was furious at the mention of Jia Zhangshi, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Perhaps because her feelings for Xu Damao had grown, Qin Jingru found Xu Damao's long face increasingly attractive.
Half an hour later, the two left the mutton restaurant.
The two walked to the entrance of the alley, and Xu Damao asked Qin Jingru to go into the courtyard first.
Not long after Qin Jingru went inside, Xu Damao heard some noise in the yard, so he strolled to the gate, bent down to unlock the car, and just as he picked up the car, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu returned.
"Xu Damao, where have you been? Have you seen Sister Qin?" Sha Zhu demanded impatiently, almost grabbing Xu Damao by the collar.
They had just heard from Aunt Liu next door that Xu Damao had left with a girl.
At the time, Xu Damao was limping, and the girl was supporting him; their actions were incredibly intimate.
Qin Huairu stepped forward and described Qin Jingru's appearance. Aunt Liu slapped her thigh and realized that it matched up perfectly.
At that moment, not only was Sha Zhu's head buzzing, but Qin Huairu almost fell over as well.
Xu Damao is no good. It would be terrible if Qin Jingru were tricked by him into losing her virginity.
Xu Damao put down his bicycle: "Shazhu, are you out of your mind? Do I need to tell you where I'm going? Besides, I don't know Qin Huairu's sister, how am I supposed to see her?"
"You're talking nonsense."
Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and approached, "Aunt Liu saw you two leave with her own eyes, and she said you put your hand on her shoulder, and you're saying you don't know her."
Xu Damao took a step back, but his imposing manner did not deter Sha Zhu. He was worried that Qin Jingru might come out of the courtyard at this moment and see his weak appearance: "Sha Zhu, I'm telling you, don't lay a hand on me. If you act recklessly again, I won't let you off the hook."
"You say Aunt Liu saw it? Call Aunt Liu over to confront me, and I'll leave alone. What's with all this talk about a girl!"
Just then, Liu Guangtian also ran out of the courtyard.
Upon seeing Qin Huairu, he quickly called out, "She's back! The girl is back!"
Upon hearing that Qin Jingru had returned, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu abandoned their entanglement with Xu Damao and hurriedly ran into the courtyard.
Reaching the door, Sha Zhu turned around, baring his teeth as he glared at Xu Damao: "You bastard, if I find out you've been disrespectful to Sister Qin, I'll cripple you."
"Get lost."
Xu Damao also retorted with a curse.
Sha Zhu glared at her and went after Qin Huairu.
Liu Guangtian sidled up to Xu Damao and asked, "Damao, where have you been? Did you really go with Qin Huairu?"
"What else?!"
Xu Damao grunted and handed Liu Guangtian a cigarette. "What's going on in the yard?"
Liu Guangtian glanced at Xu Damao, unsure if he was telling the truth: "Everyone was frantically searching. My dad organized three groups of people to look for him, but they couldn't find him. Then he came back on his own."
"To be honest, Qin Huairu is quite a looker. It's a shame to introduce her to Sha Zhu. Did you take him away?"
What do you think?!
Xu Damao chuckled and carried his bicycle into the yard.
Qin Huairu was bowing to everyone in the courtyard; some of them hadn't even had dinner yet because they were looking for someone.
"This search operation has once again demonstrated the cohesion of our department. Alright, the person is back, let's call it a day."
Actually, not many people helped. Liu Haizhong didn't even have the energy to speak and just waved for people to go back.
"Qin Huairu, you should take your sister home too, and tell her not to run around anymore."
"Thank you for your help, Uncle and Uncle. We'll head back now."
Qin Huairu led Qin Jingru in front, with Sha Zhu following behind.
With the help of the light, Sha Zhu could see clearly that Qin Jingru looked even better than she did two years ago.
Sha Zhu was secretly delighted. With Qin Huairu's help, this blind date would most likely be successful.
Just thinking about what Aunt Liu said made Sha Zhu feel a little choked up.
forecourt.
Liu Haizhong circled around Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, where have you been?"
"What can an old man do besides drinking and eating?"
Xu Damao parked his bicycle and started offering cigarettes, including to Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng.
Liu Haizhong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and continued, "You've been drinking, why did you leave your bicycle by the door? Aren't you afraid it will get stolen?"
"Hey, I'm not worried about it getting stolen since it's locked. I'm just afraid I'll drink too much and crash the bike, so I brought it back early." Xu Damao had a pretty good excuse.
Yan Bugui, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "Old Liu, I think maybe Aunt Liu is mistaken. That's enough. Da Mao has been drinking, so we won't get anything out of him."
Liu Haizhong rubbed his lower back and went to the backyard with droopy eyelids.
Liu Guangtian and Xu Damao, who was pushing a bicycle, followed silently behind.
