Ziyi was like a slippery loach. The elder sister was humiliated by her, but when she was asked about herself, she was able to make an excuse. The elder sister felt that Ziyi was too clear-headed and there was no way to persuade her.
While Ziyi is promoting new ideas and perspectives among young people, Qin Yuhuan has started to make his parents' deeds known to the public.
When Ziyi went to listen, she found that most of the things were what Qin Yuhuan had told her, about how her mother favored Qin Yusu and Shi Nianzhi, and how her father didn't take care of the family. In comparison, among the five people in the family, Qin Yuhuan was the least troublesome.
Everyone listened to the story as if it were a story, and after hearing the end, it was difficult for them to make any more requests to Qin Yuhuan.
It really is...
Shameless.
Wearing a mourning hat and a black dress, her watery eyes made her look pitiful when she looked at people, and she looked so distressing no matter how you looked at her.
Qin Yuhuan was helpless, "Xiaozi, I just look like a pitiful little thing."
It doesn't mean that she is a weak person who needs sympathy.
"I know you're not, but you can't stop me from feeling sorry for you, right?" Ziyi also had a point, "I also promised Big Sister that I would take care of you."
Qin Yuhuan: ...
"My attitude was indeed a bit tough before," she admitted. "Whenever the topic of marriage came up, I would argue back firmly. At that time, we weren't close or familiar with each other. I just thought they had too much free time. But now I think it was the only solution they could come up with for me. In an environment that values men, getting married means you're an outsider in your parents' family. My father's affairs were all indirect. And because of this patriarchal mentality, women think the only way to change their tragic fate is to get married. Marriage means they have someone to support them. Look at my youngest sister. She's only 24 years old and already a mother of three children."
In the past, I was angry because I couldn't understand the idea of tying my life to another person, but now I can be calm and composed because I suddenly understand them.
"Of course," Qin Yuhuan paused, then turned sideways and noticed that Ziyi was listening intently. He couldn't help but smile. "If you're lucky, you'll find support to keep you safe from the wind and rain. If you're unlucky, the wind and rain are all brought about by support. Obviously, I've always had bad luck, and I have a bad temper, so I might even break the support."
Ziyi smiled and reached out to grab a strand of Qin Yuhuan's long hair that fell on her chest. "Then will I be the support that is easily broken?"
"You are not," Qin Yuhuan grabbed Ziyi's hand and said seriously, "You are the treasure I want to protect. I am not that fragile and can withstand the wind and rain."
"Very direct," Ziyi raised her eyebrows, and pulled her hand out of Qin Yuhuan's hand. Her fingertips passed through her hair and landed on her chest, tapping it lightly, bringing up the past again. "I've never seen you so direct before, a straight girl, huh."
Qin Ganggang was about to exert his strength when he heard Ziyi sigh, "Don't fight me, and don't pass the blame. Baozang won't take the blame."
Qin Yuhuan: ...
"Okay," she squinted her eyes and gave Ziyi a new title, "Miss Treasure."
"So poor." Ziyi suppressed a laugh. "Another comics class?"
"No, I came up with it myself." Qin Yuhuan confessed honestly, "So it's not romantic, a bit... rustic?"
"Okay," Ziyi turned her back. She couldn't help but laugh, as it wouldn't be a good influence if others saw it. "Your original, earthy love talk is actually quite nice, but why are you suddenly... talking about family matters?"
"I didn't say anything before, but now I find myself taking all the blame." Perhaps it was because Ziyi was by her side that Qin Yuhuan's mood changed. The heavy shackles felt a little lighter, and even her thoughts began to change. "Now that I think about it, why didn't I say anything? I didn't exaggerate what they did, I only told a small part of it truthfully. Everyone thought I was the one who was wronged the most, but before, they thought my family had spent all their money to raise me to be a college student, so I deserved the reward."
"My mother does support me in my studies. She loves children very much. If there is only one room with sunlight in the house, that room must be mine."
For the past twenty years, Qin Yuhuan had never thought that her family was a hard-hit area for favoring boys over girls.
Her mother was the biggest victim in the disaster area. In order to get more praise from her grandfather, she could buy a house for her eldest uncle's daughter, build a house for her younger uncle, give money and things to her grandfather, and bear all the medical expenses of her grandmother. She lived her whole life for her brothers and father, even her death... was for her brothers and father.
In comparison, what Qin Yuhuan received was the most insignificant and meager love. It was also because of this that Qin Yuhuan's clarity of mind regarding her mother caused her great trauma, which almost broke her down.
"You know, in the notebook that Xiao Xue (the driver) found, I also saw a love letter my father wrote to my mother. I believe he loves my mother. The fact that my mother moved so much money to her parents' home without a single complaint shows that he and my mother are just as paranoid. My mother is obsessed with her parents' home, and my father is obsessed with my mother. In the end, neither of us ended up well."
Unfortunately, people are so contradictory. If they don’t know how to cherish things during their lifetime, they will have no way to pursue them after they die.
"So Xiaozi."
Qin Yuhuan stopped and looked at Ziyi quietly under the light.
She hummed a "hmm" from her nose, and when she raised her eyes, her eyebrows and eyes inadvertently revealed an unconscious charm, "Want to say some cheesy love words again?"
The relatives in the distance were playing cards and chatting, and when they got excited they burst into booing.
Qin Yuhuan took Ziyi's hand and said, as if to assure her, word by word, not fast but with a firm conviction: "No, I just want to tell you, don't be afraid, I will learn from my parents' lessons and become a very good and qualified lover."
The noise and silence blended perfectly in this night. He embraced Qin Yuhuan with all his might, raised the corners of his lips from an angle that Qin Yuhuan couldn't see, and jokingly said with malicious intent: "So, sister?"
Qin Yuhuan: ...
“So…” She hesitated, her fair face flushed red. She said “so” several times before she spoke in a low voice: “Xiaozi, you… do you want to… give me a chance?”
Knowing Ziyi's thoughts, but still afraid of hearing her say "no", Qin Yuhuan hurriedly added, "You can check the goods first, and you can return them without reason."
"Qin Yuhuan." Qin Yuhuan heard a low laugh. She couldn't hide her carefree smile, and her usual carefree expression flowed between her eyebrows. "You're so stupid. It's obviously me who should ask you to give me a chance, but... I can't return it, and I have a lot of things to do."
"I won't return it, Xiaozi." Qin Yuhuan hurriedly took out her phone and opened her shopping app. The after-sales section was empty, with nothing in it. "Look, I don't have a history of returns."
Ziyi: ...? ?
