It was almost ten o'clock when assistant Xiao Wang arrived at the scene on the back of a motorcycle taxi, carrying some bags filled with coats and shoes that he had bought on the spur of the moment.
"Boss Xiaozi, there are no taxis here."
The streets and alleys are full of motorcycles, and ride-hailing apps are no more effective than an outstretched hand.
You can't get a car even if you pay for the software, but you can park several motorcycles by just stretching out your hand.
"It's okay. You don't need to get a ticket for the next few days. Just write down the approximate figure and I'll round it up for you."
When she and Qin Yuhuan went up the mountain in the afternoon, their shoes and clothes were soaked, and they were almost swimming in the rain to persevere.
"Take a motorcycle taxi to find Xiao Xue (the driver) and ask him to get you a room. We don't need you here tonight, so go home from get off work."
The assistant responded, got on a motorcycle and left quickly.
Ziyi carried a lot of bags and took Qin Yuhuan from her aunt. "I asked my assistant to buy two sets of light and warm clothes. Go change in the car. I'll wait for you outside."
Qin Yuhuan was not as afraid of the cold as Ziyi. She stared with her eyes and pulled Ziyi into the car after she opened the door.
Posture:?
"Xiao Zi, we can change together. No need to be shy. I don't mind." Qin Yuhuan took the clothes out of the bag, checked the size, and gave a set to Ziyi. She noticed that Ziyi had been staring at her blankly since she got in the car, looking a little dazed and silly. She curled her lips and said, "Or... do you mind?"
"I..." Ziyi avoided Qin Yuhuan's eyes, "It doesn't matter."
"Change it quickly, your hands are cold."
Qin Yuhuan felt extremely guilty towards Ziyi. Ziyi didn't have to share all this with her. They had less than five hours of rest every day, but Ziyi only comforted her and took care of her emotions without even a single complaint.
As if to prove that he "didn't mind", Qin Yuhuan took off his shirt first, pretending to be calm and frank as he changed his wet clothes in front of Ziyi.
Ziyi really thought that Qin Yuhuan had a pure heart. In contrast, the twists and turns that came to her mind for a moment seemed to blaspheme this place where one should focus on one thing.
She felt ashamed and sorry for her thoughts, and changed her clothes as quickly as possible. When she came to her senses, she found that Qin Yuhuan seemed to be staring at her in a daze.
Ziyi: ...
"you……"
"I didn't see anything." Qin Yuhuan looked at his nose and his heart, pretending to be a very serious person.
Ziyi: ...
"Isn't this a bit of a cover-up?"
Qin Yuhuan covered his face in pain. "So it turns out that a guilty conscience is real. No wonder this phrase has been passed down."
Ziyi: ...
A light laugh echoed in the quiet car. "Should I feel honored? It means my body can also attract my sister."
"Ziyi, some emotions and feelings are all-round and cannot be discussed simply by leaving out the body or the spirit." Qin Yuhuan said it with certainty, but after she finished speaking, she quickly opened the car door and ran away.
Ziyi pondered this for a long time in the car, muttering to herself, "Does this mean that her feelings for me are both physical and spiritual? She likes my soul as well as my body?"
That's what I mean...
Qin Yuhuan sometimes speaks in a very tactful way, and it takes people time to think about what he says.
The night grew darker, and it rained several times in a row. The temperature kept dropping. My aunt and several brothers and sisters were playing cards and eating melon seeds in a makeshift shed. Occasionally, someone would go to the coffin to burn incense and paper.
Incense and candles must not be extinguished all night, and must be replaced when they are almost finished.
Ziyi got out of the car and originally wanted to meet up with Qin Yuhuan, but she was stopped by her elder sister just as she took a step forward.
"Xiaozi, thank you for coming here with Huanhuan. Is it hard for her to be alone outside?" The elder sister seemed to want to pull Ziyi aside to chat.
Ziyi nodded, "You're welcome, sister. We're all friends, it's only natural."
"I want to ask, when Huanhuan is out there..." The eldest sister frowned and paused, "Does he ever behave in an extreme way or handle things with low emotional intelligence?"
Ziyi was confused by this. "How could that be? Xiao Qin has a very high EQ and behaves very appropriately outside. Why would he ask such a question?"
"Oh, didn't we want her to get married earlier? But she said she didn't want to get married. There's no room for negotiation. How can we say she doesn't want to get married? She's alone now." The eldest sister sighed, "Mom, auntie and I all want Huanhuan to quit her job in Jincheng and return to Changping. We'll help her find someone in the system so she can get married, have a family, and settle down."
Ziyi nodded in agreement with her elder sister. "I understand. Xiao Qin is fine at this age. She's still a child in Jincheng. Are you urging her to get married now? Besides, her parents are gone, and her brothers have disappeared without a trace. It's like she has no one left in her family. If she meets someone bad, will anyone help her?"
The eldest sister was about to say that they were all her mother's family, but Ziyi didn't give her the chance. "Other people who get married tend to take care of their parents-in-law together. In Xiaoqin's case, getting married means she's completely tied to her husband's family. There's no one in her mother's family to take care of her. And after giving birth and confinement, there won't even be anyone to take care of her. If something happens, relatives may not be able to come in time. Everyone has their own lives to live, and there's so much domestic violence going on these days. It's understandable that she doesn't want to get married. Sister, you're older than us and have more experience than us. Look, isn't that the truth?"
If Ziyi had directly refuted, the eldest sister would have been able to come up with a bunch of words to teach her a lesson, but what Ziyi said... did make sense.
Ziyi continued, "As far as I know, the per capita income in Changping is only 3,000 yuan, and the demand for manpower is basically for factory assembly line workers or low-level clerks. Xiao Qin studied various majors, and it's basically impossible to find a suitable job here. If she quits and changes jobs, her salary will be reduced. This loss is real. And you also want her to repair the house for Qin Yushu. It will cost 50,000 yuan to repair the house. 3,000 yuan, after deducting expenses, will take more than one to two years even if she lives frugally. In Jincheng, she won't even need it for five months."
Eldest sister: ...
She sighed helplessly, "It is said that there are many businessmen in Jincheng, and they are very smart. Huanhuan has a friend like you by her side, and I feel much more at ease. My sister has a very hard life."
"I'm not being shrewd, sister. Marriage isn't something you have to spend your entire life on." Looking into the distance, Qin Yuhuan was hugging her aunt and crying. Her eyes gradually softened, and even her voice was softer. "Xiao Qin has the life she wants. She doesn't have a good family, so at least she should have a complete life of her own. Sister, I know you're all doing this for her own good and care about her. I'll take care of her in Jincheng, you can rest assured about that."
