The early summer evening breeze is cool.
A suppressed silence fell between the two.
After a while, Zhou Yubai whispered, "I won't let go until she lets go of my hand."
"Zhou Yubai, if Ah Li is willing to go with me, will you let go?" Gu Qichuan looked at Zhou Yubai, as if to confirm the truth of his words.
Zhou Yubai folded his hands at his side and nodded, "Yes."
Gu Qichuan relaxed, "Ali will come with me."
Zhou Yubai glanced at Gu Qichuan. He had no chance of winning against Gu Qichuan.
From what Gu Qichuan said, it was not difficult to tell that his family must be very well off.
He looks good, at least better than me. If I didn't have the scar on my face, I could be better looking, but... he is disfigured.
Gu Qichuan and Shen Qingli were childhood sweethearts. They had feelings for each other, and it had been a relationship that had lasted for many years. He and Shen Qingli had only been together for one night and today.
However, he still agreed somehow.
He thought that if Shen Qingli was really willing to stay with him, his life would belong to her and all his principles could be changed for her.
If Shen Qingli really wants to go with Gu Qichuan, he will let her go. The worst that can happen is that he will return to his previous loneliness. It's not like he hasn't been lonely before.
When Zhou Yubai returned to the room, Shen Qingli was still sleeping. She seemed to be sleeping very uneasily, with her brows furrowed. As soon as Zhou Yubai approached, Shen Qingli dived directly into his arms, raised her hands to hug his arms, and then her brows relaxed.
The peace of mind that comes with relying on someone makes Zhou Yubai’s tense heart slowly relax…
Early the next morning.
When Zhou Yubai woke up, Shen Qingli was still asleep. She was too weak, and after so many things happened yesterday, she suddenly relaxed, as if she was swept over by fatigue.
Zhou Yubai got up quietly, went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, moved the firewood into the kitchen, and filled the water tank before going to work.
When Shen Qingli woke up, it was already past nine o'clock.
She sat up, in a daze for a moment, before slowly coming to her senses and remembering the reality that she had traveled through time and was very weak.
Shen Qingli got out of bed, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt her legs were extremely weak. What was going on? She clearly didn't make any sauce last night, so why were her legs still weak?
After a while, Shen Qingli's stomach started to growl.
Shen Qingli: It turns out that my legs were weak from hunger. Hehe, I misunderstood.
kitchen.
Shen Qingli looked around her kitchen. The adobe house was very old, with marks on the walls and some traces of cigarette ash, but no spider webs.
It can be seen that Zhou Yubai is very clean.
The pot was covered. She opened it and found a bowl of rice porridge, two eggs, and a steamed bun inside.
Shen Qingli felt warm in her heart, as Zhou Yubai gave her only the best food.
He is raising her very carefully.
Shen Qingli curled her lips and tested the temperature. It was still hot. She was too lazy to take it out, so she just moved a small stool and sat by the stove to eat. She ate half a bowl of rice porridge, an egg, and was full without taking a single bite of the steamed bun.
After eating, Shen Qingli tidied up the kitchen, opened the cupboard and looked at what other dishes were inside.
A piece of pork belly. She remembered that there were vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard of the house. At noon, she could make a braised pork, stir-fry some vegetables, and then bake a few cornmeal cakes.
Cornmeal is also delicious, but the current grinding technology is not good, and the cornmeal is full of grains, which makes your throat hurt when you eat it.
Shen Qingli was wondering how to grind the cornmeal again.
If only her space was there.
People in the last days all have the habit of hoarding supplies. Her greatest achievement was occupying the largest comprehensive shopping mall in Continent Y, which sells everything from furniture and building materials to screws, nails and sewing needles.
The amount of food stored in the underground supermarket is also astonishing.
pity……
She had tried, and she couldn't open the space.
Shen Qingli sighed twice again. Alas, maybe her ability attribute was too low. Maybe after she upgraded, the space could be opened.
Let's take it one step at a time.
Shen Qingli had just tidied up the kitchen and was preparing to go for a walk at the foot of the mountain. She had practiced her wood-related abilities there last time and felt very good about it.
As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, the gate to the yard was pushed open.
A middle-aged woman with a pale face and thin body walked in. Seeing the displeasure on Shen Qingli's face, the woman did not hide it, "Shen Qingli, you are a jinx, a lowly bastard."
"How dare you try to alienate him from his own brothers, you shameless thing."
Shen Qingli recognized the woman in front of her, she was Widow Zhou, Zhou Yubai's mother.
The corners of Shen Qingli's lips twitched. She couldn't call her mother no matter what. "I didn't instigate Zhou Yubai and Zhou Sicheng to quarrel. It was Zhou Sicheng who took the initiative to come to my house and provoke them."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch! How dare you talk back to your mother-in-law?" Widow Zhou got furious instantly. She looked around, trying to find a suitable guy, but the yard was empty.
Widow Zhou simply raised her hand and greeted Shen Qingli in the face.
With Shen Qingli's own skills, she could easily counterattack, but now she was dragging her frail little body, how could she possibly be a match for a village woman who had been doing farm work all year round.
Since I can't beat him, I can only run away.
Shen Qingli dodged and ran out.
Widow Zhou never thought that Shen Qingli would dare to hide. Whenever a mother-in-law in the village scolded her daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law would just sit there quietly and accept the beatings and scolding!
"You little bastard, you're a burned fox, and you still dare to run? I'll beat you to death!" Widow Zhou was furious. She chased after him quickly, picked up a stick from the side of the road, and hit Shen Qingli with it.
Shen Qingli didn't run fast. She was panting heavily after just two steps. She originally thought that she would be able to see people after leaving the yard, but in her hurry, she forgot that her home was at the foot of the mountain.
This place is far away from other houses and far away from farmlands.
Widow Zhou hit Shen Qingli hard on the back and she fell forward uncontrollably. The dirt on the ground went into her throat, causing her to cough violently.
Widow Zhou raised the stick and hit him a few more times, "You little bastard, you think you can bully others just because you married Zhou Yubai. I tell you, he is my son, whether we split up or not, he is still my son. You are my daughter-in-law, and I can beat you however I want!"
"Even if I beat you to death, Zhou Yubai wouldn't dare to say anything!"
Shen Qingli was so angry that she wanted to explode, but she was too weak to fight back and spat out blood all over the floor.
Widow Zhou stopped beating him, "Don't pretend, I'm telling you, I know that you vomit blood every now and then, and it's definitely not me who beat you."
Shen Qingli only felt her chest surging and her internal organs were shaking. She spat out mouthfuls of blood. She looked extremely pitiful, as weak as if she was about to die at any moment...
"Ari!"
