The girl who walked over was about his age, with fair and delicate skin that looked like it could be squeezed for water. Her waist was so slender that it could be encircled by a single hand, and she was more charming than a willow branch in the wind.
What surprised Zhou Zhengqing even more was that Shen Yulan and Shen Jingyan were somewhat similar, both having a pretty oval face and watery doe eyes. She did not have the sharp edge that Shen Jingyan had, and looked more gentle and charming.
Zhou Zhengqing remembered what the nurse had said yesterday; this girl must be Anzi's older sister.
In other words, she is Shen Yuqin's older sister?
Goodness gracious! Girls born from the same mother's womb can be worlds apart!
When Shen Yulan saw Zhou Zhengqing, he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. However, since he was standing in front of Grandpa Qin's ward, he must be a younger relative of Grandpa Qin, so she smiled and nodded.
Such a simple action sparked endless imagination in Zhou Zhengqing.
Is the girl taking the initiative to show him affection?
Zhou Zhengqing, putting on the airs of a virtuous gentleman, stepped forward and struck up a conversation:
"You're Anzi's older sister, right?"
Shen Yulan nodded: "You know An Zi?"
Zhou Zhengqing proudly raised his head: "I was once sent to work in the forest farm in Dalin Village, and I got to know Anzi very well."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yulan suddenly remembered who the man in front of her was.
Isn't this the same educated youth who was once engaged to Shen Yuqin and then ran away in the middle of the night?
That night, she was kicked out of her home by Granny Ding and returned to Dalin Village. Chen Feng cursed her as a jinx and wouldn't let her in. It was Shen Jingyan who led her to her dormitory.
On their way to the forest farm, they happened to run into Zhou Zhengqing on his way out.
No wonder Zhou Zhengqing looked familiar!
"Is this enough to fill you up for breakfast?"

Zhou Zhengqing glanced at the breakfast in Shen Yulan's hand: a cornbread, a white bread, a bowl of millet porridge, two tea eggs, and a small box of pickled vegetables.
Shen Yulan's expression turned much colder.
"I can eat my fill."
Zhou Zhengqing's eyes never left Shen Yulan. The more he looked at her, the more itchy he felt. He really wanted to reach out and touch her slender waist.
"Breakfast needs to be more nutritious. This isn't enough. Come on, I'll take you downstairs to Fudingji for dim sum. Their shrimp soup dumplings are incredibly delicious!"
He thought that Shen Yulan was a rural girl with little education and that she was not easy to fool. How could a rural girl who had never seen the world be easy to fool?
Take her out for a few nice meals, buy her some pretty clothes and jewelry, then go for a walk in the park and see a movie. Wouldn't that be an easy way to win her over?
Little did he know, his actions had already completely revealed his true intentions.
Shen Yulan suddenly realized why Old Man Qin had told her last night that she should come to him if she needed anything.
So Old Man Qin knew Zhou Zhengqing was coming, and he also knew what kind of person he was!

"No need, we're just an ordinary family. We're already very content to have white bread and eggs for breakfast."
Shen Yulan stepped back slightly, putting some distance between herself and Zhou Zhengqing.
Zhou Zhengqing thought disdainfully, "She's acting all reserved now, but once she sees the pretty clothes and jewelry, she'll probably be overjoyed and wish she could strip naked and get close to him."
Isn't Shen Yuqin just that kind of person?
However, Zhou Zhengqing was willing to be patient with such a beautiful girl and pretend to be a gentleman for a little longer.
"It's nothing, it's on me! If you don't want to go, that's fine, I'll go downstairs and buy it, you wait here!"
This time, Zhou Zhengqing was smarter. He not only bought Anzi and Shen Yulan's share, but also Qin Laotou and Feibao's share.
In the ward, Qin Yuehe simply chatted with Old Man Qin about everyday matters and did not mention Zhou Zhengqing joining Professor Xu's group, which made Old Man Qin very happy.
It seems the daughter genuinely cares about her, and isn't pleading for her precious son.
"Grandpa, I bought breakfast. You and Feibao should eat it while it's hot."

Zhou Zhengqing entered the ward and respectfully placed a sumptuous breakfast on the small table.
"Dad, look! Shrimp soup dumplings! Pumpkin porridge! These are all your favorites!"
While helping Old Man Qin set out the table, Qin Yuehe subtly praised Zhou Zhengqing for being sensible and remembering what Old Man Qin liked to eat.
Old Qin had actually had enough of Fudingji, but seeing that Zhou Zhengqing was behaving properly today, he gave him face and picked up his chopsticks.
Before he could even pick up his chopsticks, Zhou Zhengqing eagerly placed another identical breakfast on Anzi's small table, and snatched the cornbread from Shen Yulan's hand, throwing it aside.
"Anzi, Yulan, you haven't tried shrimp soup dumplings yet, have you? And crab roe pastries too, these are Fudingji's signature dishes, come and try them!"
Qin Yuehe didn't see anything amiss at first, simply assuming that her son was kind-hearted and took care of even the poor people in the same ward.
Old Qin saw through Zhou Zhengqing's trickery, and his good mood vanished instantly.
Anzi glanced at Zhou Zhengqing's lavish breakfast, then at her own rather "meager" breakfast, and said with great pride:
"Take it, I love cornbread!"

After saying that, he picked up the cornbread that Zhou Zhengqing had thrown aside, took a big bite, and then stuffed the white bread into Shen Yulan's hand.
"Big sister, you're having white steamed buns today!"
