Chapter 1: A Bunch of Brainless Idiots in A y...

Because I love you. The moment she heard those words, the puppet-like Lou Yaoyaopletely copsed. Tears began to fall like a broken string of pearls, unable to stop. Across the ss, Qin Zhi felt pain as he saw the tears fall from her eyes. He ced his hand on the ss window, wanting to wipe her tears, yet it was all but futile. In the end, he said with an aching heart: Yaoyao, dont cry. But, how could she stop the tears? Lou Yaoyao cried until she almost fainted. Separated by the ss, Qin Zhi continued to console her in a gentle voice. That voice made her think back to a time where as long as she cried and make a scene, he would drop everything, no matter what it was, ande to apany and coax her with that same gentle voice of his. She had been a fool to have believed that they had only had siblings affection. She had been a damn fool to have caused him take the me for her. Qin Zhi, why didnt you tell me earlier? Lou Yaoyao asked tearfully. Qin Zhi just smiled. He didnt give her an answer as she knew what the answer was. Even if he told her, it would have been useless. Because at that time she had been obsessed with Chen Hao. In her eyes, there was no one else but Chen Hao. Having understood this, Lou Yaoyao cried more tears. The guard urged Lou Yaoyao away as the prison visiting hour was over. Qin Zhi called Lou Yaoyao. Lou Yaoyao held the receiver and leaned towards the ss crying and gasping for breath. She braced herself to hear what he had to say. Yaoyao, I cannot be by your side to guard you anymore. You must take good care of yourself. Dont be so willful anymore. Do you understand? Yes, yes. Lou Yaoyao nodded absentmindedly. Yaoyao... Yes, yes. Dont marry Chen Hao. Find a man who will truly love you. When you do find him, be good to him, and live a good life, understand? Yes, yes. Qin Zhi continued to speak endlessly. This was the first time in Lou Yaoyaos entire life that she didnt find his lecturing annoying. She earnestly responded, even though she didnt hear a single word. This trantion belonged to otomeruri.wordpress please do not host it elsewhere. The guard warned them to speed it up. Qin Zhi finally gave Lou Yaoyao a profound nce, put down the receiver, and finally got up to leave. Lou Yaoyao suddenly stood up and started hitting the window hard, despite the guards warning. She pointed at the receiver. Qin Zhi sounded an apology to the guard and, once again, picked up the receiver. Lou Yaoyao looked at Qin Zhi through the ss. This once handsome man had always paid attention to cleanliness, but after some short months, that man was no more. He had stubble that he seemed to have missed while shaving hastily. His face had be yellowish and unusually haggard, except his eyes. His eyes were still as brilliant as they were before. It seemed like the hardships of life had not affected him. As Lou Yaoyao looked, she felt a burst of sadness. Qin Zhi opened his mouth to hurry her up. Then, Lou Yaoyao said in unswerving arrogance, Qin Zhi, you know that I am willful and selfish, therefore indulge me once again for thest time. Wait for me okay? Im not asking you, Im ordering you. You wait for me, or else dont even think about having a good life after. You know that I can make ones life a living hell! She was always a vicious woman. Forcing people to do the things and never knowing how to repent, nevertheless, she was proud of it. At the beginning, Qin Zhi had not understood what she was speaking about. When he had figured it out, Lou Yaoyao had smiled, put down the receiver, and gone out. At first, Qin Zhi did not understand what she was saying. When he finally understood, Lou Yaoyao had smiled at him as she. He put down the receiver and walked away. After staring nkly at nothing for quite a while, Qin Zhi finallyughed. If she wanted him to wait, then he would wait. He resigned himself to the fact that in this lifetime, his life had fallen into this womans hand. Lou Yaoyao cried for a long time until both her eyes were swollen like peaches. As she walked outside, the sunlight gave her a temporary ckout of vision. Yaoyao. Chen Hao, who was waiting outside, called out to her. He threw away the cigarette butt and smiled as he walks toward her. He wore a white shirt with a pair of white tailored trousers. His handsome and delicate face carried a faint smile. Walking in the sunlight, the golden ray behind him looked dazzling. Lou Yaoyao opened her eyes wide to face this man, she had looked at him many times, but this was the first time she seriously looked at him, thoroughly looked. Chen Hao reached for her hand, but Lou Yaoyao shook it off with disgust and walked straight to the side of the car. Chen Haos face stiffened but quickly resumed his smiling expression. He walked to the side of the car and considerately assisted her in opening the car door. Once Lou Yaoyao sat in, Chen Hao circled to the drivers seat and started the car. Lou Yaoyao looked out of the window in a daze, as Chen Hao used the side mirror to look at her expression. Lou Yaoyao, looking impatient, turned her head, sneered and said, Chen Hao, you must truly despise me? Right? Yaoyao, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Chen Hao was apparently surprised at what Lou Yaoyao had said as his face filled with astonishment. He turned his head to look at her with eyes overflowing with gentle helplessness. Eyes of a man who was helpless against the willfulness of his girlfriend. Lou Yaoyao, however, wasnt deceived by him, so she minded her own business and said, How can you not despise me. I killed your beloved woman and child. How can you not despise me? Chen Hao knitted his brows and snarled: Lou Yaoyao, what kind of nonsense are you talking about! I talk nonsense? You know what clearly happened. At the time, all three of us were there at the scene. You know how Lou Qingqing died, dont you? The one who killed Lou Qingqing was me, not Qin Zhi. After Lou Yaoyao said everything on her mind, she dropped another bombshell, Im going to turn myself in. She had been muddle headed before, but after crying in the prison, her mind unexpectedly became very clear. She must not let Qin Zhi take the me for her. Qin Zhi was now 32 years old, the prime of mans lifetime. To serve ten years in prison in this rapidly progressing era meant that when he came out, the world would be like another universe. Although she was selfish, she would not let Qin Zhi ruin his whole life because of her. He deserved to have a much better life. Chen Hao was shocked by what Lou Yaoyao had said and stared at her in surprise. He was in shock for quite a while. He looked earnestly at her and found that she was serious. His eyes shed with a hint of fury, but soon put himself under control. Using a gentle voice, he said, Yaoyao, we are going to get married next month. Dont speak of this kind of nonsense. You and I are going to get married. Lou Qingqing and I are of no importance. There wont be a wedding. Lou Yaoyao didnt bother paying any attention to Chen Haos excuses. She mockingly said: Arent you happy? You will finally get rid of me! Chen Hao was enraged by her speech, with a look of affectionate and wounded, he said: Lou Yaoyao, in the end, how can I convince you of my sincerity? Lou Yaoyao just felt disgusted to the point of wanting to throw up, just not so long ago, she had because of an argument with Lou Qingqing identally killed Lou Qingqing as well as Lou Qingqings unborn child with her own hand, one corpse with two lives. However now, this man was actually talk about sincerity to the killer of his own child? Lou Yaoyao felt disgusted to the point of being nauseous. Not too long ago, shebecause of an argumenthad killed Lou Qingqing and Lou Qingqings unborn child by ident, one corpse with two lives. However, this man was seriously talking about sincerity to her, the killer of his own child? Lou Yaoyao suddenly felt sad for Lou Qingqing. They were sisters of the same father but different mothers. They had fought over such a disgusting man for more than ten years. Oh Lou Qingqing, if you were to look at this man now, would you crawl out of your grave? Perhaps... Chen Hao never loved Lou Qingqing? The more she thought, the more disgusted she was. Lou Yaoyao really didnt want to look at this mans face at the moment, Stop the car! How could Chen Hao stop the car? He looked over at her with his face still filled with great sadness, Yaoyao, I know that you and Qin Zhe have always had a good rtionship, so good in fact that it even makes me jealous. But that does not mean you can take the me for Qin Zhes crime. I love you so much. Where do you ce me in your heart? Have you ever even thought about my feeling? Lou Yaoyao was dumbstruck. F***! She should have figured out a long ago that this man simply had a problem within his brain! Stop talking. You make me feel disgusted! My brain must have been flooded with water to be in love with a man like you! Lou Yaoyao was about to burst with rage. She looked at Chen Hao with hatred, I will say it one more time. Stop the car! Chen Hao, of course, would not stop the car. The fair and handsome face twisted with pain and was on the verge of tears: Yaoyao... Looking at Chen Haos face, Lou Yaoyaopletely broke down, Please stop talking. Whenever you open your mouth to talk, I just want to throw up! Chen Hao seemed repulsed by the blunt remarks. Thus, he forgot his pretense and looked at her with wide eyes and a stiff face. Hed heard about Lou Yaoyaos vicious mind and malicious speech. However, Lou Yaoyao had always been fond of him so, naturally, she would not speak to him with such foulnguage. Now he had just discovered that this woman had such a vulgar mouth. Lou Yaoyao was the kind of person that when she liked you, she would hold you up to the sky, but when she hated you, this woman would lose her mind! If she had been smart enough, she would not have had such a bitter falling-out at this time. If she had been smart enough, enough to endure patiently, she would not... The two of them were at a deadlock. Lou Yaoyao was not in the mood to look at him. Chen Hao took a few deep breaths and managed to calm himself down with great difficulty. He turned his head to show affection when the sound of a horn and the sudden screeching of brakes were heard. At the corner of the mountain road ahead, a heavy loaded truck crashed straight into them. The moment the steel reinforcement bar shed against the forehead, time stopped. Twenty seven years of Lou Yaoyaos life shed before her eyes. An indescribable thought crossed her mind: This is such a tragic fairy tale with an extremely weird ending. Cindere, the heroine, was stabbed to death by her vicious stepsister and then the fickle and heartless prince was about to live a happily ever after with her vicious stepsister. Unexpectedly, the prince and the stepsister were killed in a car ident. Furthermore, they died without a corpse intact! The situation was indeed a melodramatic (dog-blood) fairy tale! Before she closed her eyes, Lou Yaoyao thought of her unwillingness and regretted everything: Poor Qin Zhi, it seems that you will have to wait for me until the next life! Chapter 2 - Return to 20 Years Old Again… Chapter 2: Return to 20 Years Old Again... Lou Yaoyao looked in disbelief at her own unfamiliar yet familiar pair of hands. The hands were unfamiliar because the back of her left side hand previously had a shallow scar. Although her wound had been treated promptly, the injury had been too deep and in the end, left a small scar. They were familiar because how could they not be? Regardless of the palms size, the fingers length, or the lines of palms, they were all the same as before. Lou Yaoyao was a little confused about the current situation. When she opened her eyes, she found herself inside a hospital ward with a slight disinfectant smell. Wasnt she supposed to be dead? As she closed her eyes, she could see the scene of the crash. The reinforcing steel bar shing against her forehead appear before her eyes. That kind of fear and dread she felt at that moment, she never wanted to recall. But, if she had died, then how could she be in this hospital? Lou Yaoyao touched her own face in fright. She sighed a breath of relief, it didnt have any scars or any bandages on, she wasnt disfigured. However, this absolutely didnt make any sense. The puzzled Lou Yaoyao sat on the bed for a while. The nurse on duty saw that she had woken up and immediately called for the doctor toe. Lou Yaoyao still not understanding the current situation had to cooperate with the doctors examination while answering the doctors questions. Eight out of ten sentences the doctor said didnt get inside her head. After determining that Lou Yaoyao was healthy, the doctor gave out the diagnosis. Miss Lou, congrattions, you may do the procedure for discharge today. However, you have been unconscious since yesterday, I suggest that you stay in the hospital another couple days for observation. Thank you. Lou Yaoyao politely expressed her gratitude. As soon as the doctor and the nurse walked out, Lou Yaoyao immediately rushed into the washroom, she was staying in the private ward with washroom. Looking at her face in the mirror, Lou Yaoyao was taken aback. As she expected, this was her face, onlypared to her face then, which had been poisoned with cosmetic and was extremely pale, even though this face was fair, but appeared with healthy blush, and the most important was that this face was a lot younger than her own, it seemed to be only eighteen or neen years old. Lou Yaoyaos heart was throbbing fiercely, but there was also a rise of overwhelming joy from the bottom of her heart. Although she didnt watch television much, she knew some hit dramas with transmigration themes, theres also drama with rebirth to childhood and go back to the past. And even in web novel nowadays, the rebirth and transmigration theme was prevalent everywhere. In that case... with her current situation, she also went back to the past? Yaoyao. Didnt know how long she had stayed, Lou Yaoyao heard a voice from the room. She quickly repressed her happiness and sadness, and left the bathroom. After looking at the person in the room, Lou Yaoyao convinced that she must have gone back to the past, if not, how could she see Aunty Liu? Both Aunty Liu and Aunty Lu were the familys housekeepers, they were responsible for the familys daily life. They had been working for the family for more than ten years. However, Aunty Liu had retired to live with her sessful twenty five years old son. At that time, Lou Yaoyao had been reluctant to let her go. Aunty Liu put down the things she carried in and looked at Lou Yaoyao for a while. Seeing that Lou Yaoyaosplexion and mental state was perfect, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, It seems to be nothing. Yaoyao ah, havent Aunty told you before? Next time, by all means, dont be so impulsive. If something terrible ever happened to you, your mama would be devastated ah! Listening to Aunty Lius attentive words, Lou Yaoyao was moved. Ever since she was a child, she was not close to her Papa, and her Mama was a workaholic, so she used to spend more time with both of the aunties. Looking back, since Aunty Liu had followed her son to move to another city, they hadnt met for two years. Although previously she took Auntys concerned words as being troublesome, this time, she didnt want to refute. Lou Yaoyao fawned as she smiled, I know Aunty, you dont have to teach me. Its good for you to know. Aunty Liu also didnt repeat it, too far is as bad as not enough, and also their statuses were different. She took out the toiletries from the bag that she brought and waited for Lou Yaoyao to finish washing her face and brushing her teeth. Then she handed over a small thermos box to Lou Yaoyao, in it was lotus seed congee that she had cooked. Lou Yaoyao was sipping it obediently. too far is as bad as not enough (idiom, from the Analects): too much is as bad as too little; excess is just as bad as deficiency; to overreach the mark is just as bad as not reaching it. lotus seed congee lotus seed congee Aunty Liu opened up all the windows to let the air in, then went to the bathroom with the bag. After a while, she came out with a te of cleanly washed fruits while informing Lou Yaoyao that thepany had an important meeting today; therefore her Papa and Mama could only visit her after they had finished. Lou Yaoyao looked at the busy Aunty Liu, only felt that the congee in her mouth was particrly sweet. As for the matter of her Papa and Mama hadnt visited her, she didnt really care. She already had been used to, hadnt she? After hesitating for quite a while, Lou Yaoyao finally still asked: Aunty, how could I be in the hospital? Looking at the current situation, she really did go back to the past, but she really didnt remember being hospitalized at the age of eighteen or neen at all. Listened to what that doctor had said, she had lost consciousness for a day since yesterday. This kind of important matter, however in her memory, there wasnt any impression at all. Furthermore, after she had awakened, beside from being hungry, she also didnt feel any unwellness. Since there was a question, then ask it. In any case, she really was Lou Yaoyao, she didnt have to worry about her identity being exposed and so on. Aunty Liu also didnt think that something was amiss, said: Yaoyao dont remember? Yesterday, you were having dispute with Qingqing, fell down from the stairs and lost consciousness. Qingqing, thats exactly Lou Qingqing, her older sister of the same father but different mothers. Lou Yaoyao hanged down her eyes, her heart felt somewhatplicated. She hade back to the past, in that case, this time, Lou Qingqing naturally hadnt died. Oh dear, Yaoyao, are you feeling any unwellness somewhere? Does your head hurt? Looking at Lou Yaoyao who bowed her head, Aunty Liu anxiously asked. Lou Yaoyao quicklyforted her, and told her the result of the doctors examination from a moment ago while at it. Aunty Liu, only then, felt relieved. Yesterday, after Lou Yaoyao had lost her consciousness, full-body examination had immediately been done, there had been no abnormality found. Although the doctor had persuade her that its okay, but Aunty Liu thought that the doctor was right, its better to stay in hospital for observation for several days. As soon as Lou Yaoyao finished drinking the congee, once again talked a few words, Aunty Liu told her to rest more, put the things back in. At home, there were still a pile of things needed to be done, the most important was to make lunch for Lou Yaoyao. The ward once again returned to stillness, Lou Yaoyao walked to the side of the window and looked outside. This was the city where she grew up, yet now it seemed somewhat unfamiliar. She unconsciously touched her left wrist, to find that her wrist didnt have anything on. Thats right, she still hadnt worn that thing, that chain bracelet that got her and Lou Qingqing into dispute. In her memory, the dispute with Lou Qingqing and then fell from the stairs, this time as a matter of fact this matter was rted to Chen Hao. She remembered that soon after, it would be Chen Haos birthday. She had spent some thought trying to find jewellery as a special gift. After she came back, she immediately put it on the dressing table in her room. In the end, as soon as she finished eating dessert, she went back to her room, but to find that wrapped gift box had disappeared without a trace. Both Aunty Liu and Aunty Lu had been downstairs watching soap opera, at that time hadnt been on the upper floor. In that case, surely it had been taken by Lou Qingqing who was upstairs. She got extremely angry and quickly went to question Lou Qingqing. Both of them were having dispute on the staircase, some kind of pushing and shoving each other, in the end, both of them fell down the stairs together. Fortunately, to avoid any injury, the houses staircase had all been covered with thick wool rug, both person had nothing wrong. However, different than that first time, this time, she actually lost her consciousness. Lou Yaoyao thought that it might be because of her rebirth. After recalling the past matter, Lou Yaoyao also knew the exact time of now, only several months ago, she just had her twentieth birthday. Twenty years old, the already twenty seven years old her, had actually gone back to twenty years old. She didnt know whether she should be happy or sad, being rebirth, before everything had happened, being rebirth, she could no longer see Qin Zhi any more, that Qin Zhi who was willing to take the me for her... As the matter of fact, she was also stupid. At that time, she shouldnt have a bitter falling-out with Chen Hao at such time. However she had umte several months of guilt feeling, that sense of guilt led to inadequate rest, thus she had been on the verge of breaking down. She, herself, hadnt known what she was talking about at all. Although she hadnt been stupid enough to grab the steering wheel from Chen Hao, yet she had made Chen Hao distracted from driving the car, to the extent that the car crash had happened. They said that the woman in love had a decrease in IQ. Lou Yaoyao found that after she was no longer infatuated with Chen Hao, her mind unexpectedly became a lot more brighter. However, she should be grateful to Chen Hao, If not because of Chen Hao, she also wouldnt go back to her twenty years old. Only, after many sadness, she hade back, what about Qin Zhi? Would he continue to take the me for her? She had said, demanded that he wait for her. She didnt expect that her thought before facing death would actually came true. She had thought then, Qin Zhi might have to wait for her until the next life, and now, look, was this not exactly the next life? Lou Yaoyao, for a moment, didnt know what should she do... Did she love Qin Zhi? She was also unclear, she had been fighting with Lou Qingqing over Chen Hao for more than ten years. In the end, after looking clearly at how he had conducted himself, her heart just felt disgusted, didnt feel any sadness at all. But on the contrary, looking at how Qin Zhi had been suffering on her behalf, her heart ached that she almost wanted to die. Therefore, she actually did love Qin Zhi, right? To think carefully, she didnt remember deeply about her emotion at that time toward Chen Hao, but on the contrary, she remembered very clearly about her fight with Lou Qingqing very clear. In the end, did she love Chen Hao, or did she merely want topete with Lou Qingqing? That was no longer important. Being rebirth, everything had been reshuffled, all those tragedies still hadnt happened, theres still time to change. She would not once again wasted all of her youth for Chen Hao that g man, also would not once again be incited by Lou Qingqing and identally killed Lou Qingqing, and even more would not let Qin Zhi took the me for her. Lou Yaoyao also thought about the words that Qin Zhi had said, he said that he loved her... At that time, although she felt grieved and sad, her heart yet felt slightly happy. However did the current Qin Zhi truly loved her? If did not love then? Lou Yaoyao suddenly wanted to make a telephone call to ask about this matter in detail. However, holding a cellphone, she didnt dare to press the button for quite a while, the cellphone had several missed calls and a couple text messages, all were sent out from yesterday and this morning by Qin Zhi. Lou Yaoyao opened thest one: Yaoyao, I will be back tomorrow, what kind of present do you want? Thats right, this time, he was on business trip abroad. In the past, everytime Qin Zhi had gone on business trip, she would have asked for a great pile of gifts. He had never broken his promise. As long as she asked for, he would buy for her. Qin Zhi treated her very good, had always been very good. Therefore, she didnt know at all, when he had fell in love with her. The difference of age between them was five years, both of them had grown up together as childhood sweetheart. For her, Qin Zhi had been no more than like a blood rted older brother. These years, he had been taking care of her in every possible way, a lot of more carepared to her parents. Many years of habit let her to never think about their rtionship could be more. asionally, someone would envily praised her for having this good older brother. After being pleased with herself, she would soon forget. Their pattern of getting along had never seemed to change. In that case, was she allowed to believe that at this time, Qin Zhi also had feeling toward her? Even if there was no feeling, she would also let him fall in love with her! He must take responsibility for the words that he had said! Even if everything still hadnt happened! Lou Yaoyao stayed happy and sad at the same time for quite a while, until finally made a tyrannical decision. Anyway, wasnt she a very selfish person? She didnt dare to make a telephone call, afraid that she would be found abnormal. After hesitating for quite a while, she sent a text message. Ill be waiting for you toe back Yaoyao. Chapter 3 - “Exceptional” Cinderella…

Chapter 3: Exceptional Cindere...

T/N: The word here could also be a ng that meant to be used sarcastically (ironically) to point out something that is outrageous, annoying to the extreme, gross, or lousy. I didnt know which word I am supposed to use, so I just went with the literal one. Lou Yaoyao waited in anticipation for quite a while. In the end, this text message was as if throwing a stone and saw it sink without trace in the sea. To throw a stone and see it sink without trace in the sea (idiom): to elicit no response Obviously, that previous text message was just shortly before. In the end, after a moment of nkness, she once again went over thest text message, unexpectedly it hadnt been noticed? Had it not been seen, or was he currently busy? If he had seen but not replied, then did it indicate that Qin Zhi didnt want to reply her text message? Lou Yaoyaos heart was mixed with all kinds of vours. If it were before, had she made a telephone call, regardless whether he had been working or at the meeting, he would have had to pick up her call! However, wasnt that a little unreasonable? The had been unreasonable for many years Lou Yaoyao, for the first time had a self awareness. Remembering her best friend had once persuaded: Unreasonable woman is indeed despicable, but if there were no one who indulged her unreasonableness, in that case, she is not only despicable but also pathetic. Lou Yaoyao only now thought herself both despicable and pathetic. Not even the deepest love can survive being worn away, like that time she liked Chen Hao, chased after Chen Hao, because he had always taking the attitude of not epted nor refused, drifting between her and Lou Qingqing, she had forgotten entirely, when she had lost the feeling of love, yet she hadnt wanted to give up, also couldnt have given up, because she couldnt let it went ording to Lou Qingqings wish! The thing she couldnt obtain, Lou Qingqing was also not allowed to want it! Carrying this kind of thought, she had fought to the death with Lou Qingqing to the end. Finally she had won, but also lost. She had seeded in getting engaged with Chen Hao. However this pair of couple had been using couldnt tell her, afraid of hurting her reason, secretly dated for five years! The whole five years, she had been like an idiot, being fooled by them this pair of couple. How idiot she had been, to never have found out? If her best friend had not told her, that she saw them this pair of couple together went to meet gynecology, she would had always beenpletely in the dark. In the end, what had she, Lou Yaoyao, done wrong? This pair of couple acted this way toward her, one person was the fianc she was about to marry, the other was her blood rted older sister of the same father but different mothers, had they treated her as dead? In the end, what had they wanted? Most possibly, if she hadnt found out, Lou Qingqing would have attended her wedding ceremony with a baby bump. Before getting engaged, her mama had already persuaded her, that Chen Hao would want to marry her, entirely because the crisis in Chen Haospany. He urgently needed arge sum of funds. Before he had already requested help to Mama several times, but the business is business Mama had refused. However, once he became son-inw, in any case, she wouldnt let her daughters husband went bankrupt, would she? At that time, although she had been hesitated, but how could she let go of this opportunity topletely defeat Lou Qingqing! Lou Yaoyaos Mama, Fang Xilei was a workaholic, although she was beautiful, but she had no interest to look for her own boyfriend. After enduring her fathers repeated prod, finally she chose the also workaholic Papa, Lou Yuanzhi, who worked at thepany. At that time, Lou Yuanzhi already had a live-in girlfriend. Between the gentle and lovely live-in girlfriend, and the domineering rich female superior (boss), Lou Yuanzhi concealed the truth about former and chose thetter. Man climb his way up, is not altogether unjustifiable. Only, at that time, the live-in girlfriend had already been pregnant, she secretly gave birth to a child. For all those years that woman hadnt sought for Lou Yuanzhi, Lou Yaoyao was unaware. She only knew, after her maternal grandfather passed away when she was thirteen years old, the next year, that woman took Lou Qingqing to their house. To say, she was also pitiful, hadnt been able to endure until the legitimate wife died, she had been knocked down by cancer first. Facing the woman who was kneeling down and kowtowing, and Lou Yuanzhis plea, although Fang Xilei was very disgusted with this matter and also very disgusted with Lou Qingqings existence, she was also not hardhearted to drive Lou Qingqing out. But because of this, her marriage with Lou Yuanzhi soon worsened to the freezing point. These years, they had been cold toward each other. Others said that Lou Qingqing was the return to rich and powerful Cindere, and she was the vicious younger sister who wasnt able to tolerate the older sister, fighting over everything with the older sister! At the beginning, she had liked this older sister. She had been the only child, and suddenly she had an older sister, how could she not curious nor like? Initially, everything had been great. The older sister had also been quite modest toward her, had yield to her for everything. However, she soon found out that her father, who had always been stern and cold-hearted toward her, unexpectedly was extremely kind and loving toward her older sister. Almost everything she asked for, her older sister had never fought against her, had never snatched from her. Because so long as her older sister didnt fight nor snatch, father wouldpensate her older sister tenfold, hundredfold! How could Lou Yaoyao not hate, how could she not jealous? Yes, she was jealous! She was selfish! You wanted to yield, then you didnt want anything? Gave everything away! You wanted to be virtuous? Then you continued to be virtuous toward me! Until Chen Hao appeared. The elder sister who had never argued with her, never fought with her, unexpectedly told Lou Yaoyao that she had feeling toward Chen Hao. Others said she was vicious, not only she had snatched her older sisters things, but she also snatched even her boyfriend. Obviously... obviously... she was the first one to take fancy of him! At this point, Lou Yaoyao became thoroughly distorted! Therefore, regarding Lou Yaoyaos change of personality to be this kind of unpleasant, it was also rted to Lou Qingqing. In the end, Lou Yaoyao had also walked the same old path as her mama, if hadnt been exposed, perhaps many yearster, that child would be brought to live in her house too, and so would Lou Qingqing! This was exactly the kindheartedness and modesty of her Cindere older sister! If before she had merely hated and disliked Lou Qingqing, at that moment she wished that Lou Qingqing would drop dead! Lou Qingqing indeed died, died under her own cleverness. Yaoyao, sorry, we did not deliberately hide it from you. I knew you like Chen Hao, you will not be able to endure this shock, we only hid this matter because we didnt want you to be hurt. Yaoyao, Chen Hao, he loves you, you rest assure, I will take this child away from here, we will never appear in front of the both of you! This trantion belonged to otomeruri.wordpress please do not host it elsewhere. .................. Ha ha, so what? I indeed did it on purpose. You are as disgusting as your lofty yet lowdown Mother. Aside from snatching others boyfriend, what can you both do? I will never abort the child. Lou Yaoyao, even if you marry Chen Hao, then what? I will forever be your and his thorn. Whenever you see Chen Hao, you will think of me,ter when you both have child together, you will think of my child! Ha ha, Lou Yaoyao, do you think you have won? No, you lose. You could only live under my shadow for your entire life! There will never be an opportunity to turn the table anymore! Lou Qingqing became mad, she also became mad. She picked up the fruit knife which she didnt know how it could get to be in her hand, and charged into Lou Qingqing. Afterwards, both of them tussled with each other. Her physical strength was not as good as Lou Qingqing, naturally was no match for the other. She could only passively push and shove Lou Qingqing. After being pushed for quite a while, Lou Qingqing lost her footing and fell down on the floor. It could be said that Lou Qingqing was out of luck, Lou Yaoyao hadnt held back her strength and somehow fell on Lou Qingqings body. That knife, somehow stabbed her. Lou Qingqing who had been performing a show for quite a while, didnt count that on that day, arge-scale traffic ident happened. Chen Hao, who should have arrived at the earlier time, was stuck on the road, had been missing this most wonderful show. Then, afterwards... Lou Yaoyao frantically dialed the telephone to call Qin Zhi. Although Lou Qingqing had identally died, but she should also die contently. After all, when she had been alive, she hadnt let Lou Yaoyao have an easy time, then even after she had died, she also didnt let Lou Yaoyao have an easy time. Until there was a text message notification on the cell phone, Lou Yaoyao only then recovered. She touched her face to find that her face was covered with tears. She had cried... cried? Why should she cry? These two were absolutely unworthy of her tears! Lou Yaoyao didnt bother to wipe her tears, she opened the text message in her cell phone without dy, it was Qin Zhis reply. It merely had a word okay, it didnt even have any punctuation mark, but Lou Yaoyao was still very much satisfied. She looked at it over and over again and somehow still hadnt seen enough. When Chen Hao and Lou Qingqing opened the door and came in, they saw Lou Yaoyao stood by the window with a face like an idiot, yet still had tears on her face. The two of them were frightened, had Lou Yaoyao gone mad? Lou Qingqing suppressed the joy in her heart, called to probe: Yaoyao. Lou Yaoyao only then notice the two persons, she frowned, drew out tissue to wipe her tears, and observed this two persons with disgust. The seven years younger Lou Qingqingbed her hair in a ponytail, she wore a in and simple gray checkered blouse and a washed white jeans, with a pair of white fabric shoes. She looked like a vige girl, in and simple as if her whole family had abused her, not like the several yearster alluring and beautiful her. And Chen Hao wore his trademark white shirt and white tailored pants, full of sunshine and handsome as always. Lou Yaoyao rolled her eyes: Lou Qingqing, dont call me like that, Im not familiar with you. Yaoyao, I know youre still angry with me, still me me, but I really didnt take your thing. The thing that you look for yesterday, Aunt has found it. It was you who carelessly let it fall under the table. Fang Xilei never hid her disgust toward Lou Qingqing, naturally she would never let Lou Qingqing called her mother. Listening to Lou Qingqings aggrieved voice, Lou Yaoyao felt sick. Fell under the table? Were her eyes made of stic, that she couldnt see that big of a box?! Fine, the misunderstanding is resolved. Looking at Lou Yaoyaos face getting more and more bad, Chen Hao took out an item: Yaoyao, you must be hungry, I brought you your most favourite strawberry cake. Lou Yaoyao didnt feel like looking at them, directly send them off: The doctor said that I need a quiet rest, please go! Chen Hao thought that she was still angry, moreover he had came together with Lou Qingqing, Lou Yaoyao must be feeling jealous. He revealed an understanding smile and said in appeasing manner: Yaoyao, no matter how angry you are, you also shouldnt harm yourself, be obedient and eat your breakfast first! Be obedient? Screw you! Lou Yaoyao almost couldnt restrain herself from smashing her cell phone on his face. Because she hated to part with the text message inside the cell phone, she endured this impulse. She let them leave, precisely because she was worry that she was unable to control her anger and took a chair to smash their face. She certainly didnt want the opportunity to start over once more, that was earned with great difficulty, yet was crushed to death because of these two and lost in vain! Chen Hao almost thought that his eyesight had blurred, what did he seen? The one that had always obedient with him; the see, hear and obey Lou Yaoyao; with that pair of eyes that had always carried in admiration and longing, were filled with undisguised disgust, no, not just disgust but also hatred. to see, hear and obey (idiom): have always listened to sb.s words and epted his advice Chen Hao was without the slightest doubt that she wanted toe over him and strangle his neck! Yaoyao... Before he even said anything, Lou Yaoyao had grabbed the pillow on the bed and pounded the two with it: Get out, please get out, I dont want to see you two, this pair of cheating couple! Whether Cindere or the Prince, they were none of her goddamn business, whether they want to y with love or with mud, sorry, but I wont keep youpany, you have fun on your own! y with love or with mud: the former implied that they were just ying at being with love, while thetter mocked them for being childish. Fang Xilei came in and directly saw such a scene; at the wards door, Chen Hao was shielding Lou Qingqing, the two sorry figures were dodging, while Lou Yaoyao were holding a pillow and viciously pounding their head and face! Fang Xilei raised her eyebrows, without a word,pletely didnt have any intention to intervene, until Lou Qingqing finally saw her and screamed: Aunt Fang! Lou Yaoyao turned her head to saw her own Mama stood on the side, she also didnt know how much her Mama had seen, she suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed, a moment ago, she had been readily pounding like a shrew, (Im) done for... Chen Haos clothes waspletely messy, although he was quite in sorry state, yet he was unusually calm and greeted: Aunt Fang. Lou Qingqing, who stood by his side, pulled the corner of her clothes, with the appearance of a bullied young married woman, who felt anger from being wronged yet didnt dare to speak. In contrast, it made the fierce Lou Yaoyao who was holding the pillow to look unreasonable! Fang Xilei unperturbedly asked: What is going on here? Aunt Fang, we came to visit Yaoyao, but Yaoyao, she... Lou Qingqing didnt continue to speak, but also didnt need to. Well, both of you go back first, I will speak to Yaoyao. Fang Xilei didnt change her expression. Chen Hao looked at Lou Yaoyaos face then tactfully left, he was very puzzled; after hadnt met for a day, how could Lou Yaoyao change into that way? Lou Qingqing was also equally puzzled, yet also had no choice but to leave. She was always obedient in front of Fang Xilei, and also she didnt want to destroy this impression. Seeing them had left, Lou Yaoyao obediently called: Mama. Yes. Replied Fang Xilei, she was dragged into the the ward by Lou Yaoyao, while she was still thinking of how to exin the reason of Lou Yuanzhis absence, that wouldnt let her be very sad. Looking at her Mother frowed her eyebrows and not speaking, Lou Yaoyao nervously said: Mama, are you angry? Fang Xilei was taken aback: What am I angry for? Lou Yaoyao wanted to say something but then hesitated. Fool, I am your Mama, I would never help an outsider to bully my own daughter. Fang Xilei had understood at the first thought, her heart somewhat ached, her daughter was said to be vicious and fierce by the outsiders, yet in front of her and Lou Yuanzhi, the outsiders were very careful and cautious, afraid to provoke their hatred, especially toward Lou Yuanzhi. As for the matter of hitting people? If she wanted to hit then let her hit, they werent good persons anyway! Listening to her Mama to speak like this, Lou Yaoyao once again broke in tears, couldnt help but to throw herself at Fang Xileis embrace. She was very fortunate, both having this kind of Mama who doted her, and having that kind of Qin Zhi who indulged her. Fang Xilei was taken a back all of the sudden, sensing her daughters grievance, although she didnt know the reason, but very quickly tightly embraced Lou Yaoyao, patting Lou Yaoyaos back to appeased. She was usually very very busy at work, rarely at home, had felt somewhat estranged from her daughter, her daughter was also closer to her Papa, therefore she still had not much experience at understanding Lou Yaoyao. Smelling the faint body fragrance of her mother, Lou Yaoyao inhaled through her nose: Mama. Yes. Mama. Yes. Mama, I will not not listen to you anymore. Whether it was having had a big quarrel with her mama due to the problem at Chen Haospany, or her engagement with Chen Hao despite her mamas objection, she couldnt change what had happened, but the one that still hadnt happened, would never happen again! Fang Xilei felt her eyes were also a little moist, she lightly pat her daughters back, did not speak, whether it was true or false, its already good that she could speak that way. Chapter 3.1 - To be a Childish Woman…

Chapter 3: To be a Childish Woman...

Lou Yaoyao was immediately discharged from the hospital on that day. Since there wasnt anything wrong with her body, she rather not stayed in the hospital. Although Fang Xilei did not approve, but she also couldnt persuade Lou Yaoyao, so she had to consent, thus Lou Yaoyao being discharged was unavoidable. The first thing to do after go home was to take a bath. As for Lou Qingqing who was doing household chores in the lounge with hesitant eyes, Lou Yaoyaopletely ignored her existence, Lou Qingqing had better not provoke her, or else she would let Lou Qingqing experience what was called truly vicious! In the past life, precisely because she had cherished her reputation too much, although there were a lot of cursing, but beside from quarrelling and throwing some sarcastic words, she basically hadnt done anything excessive. Other people assumed that she treated her elder sister like servant, secretly beating her. However in reality, how could that happened? Lou Qingqing had her Papa who cares so much about her. Beside... She was no match for Lou Qingqing... Embarrassedly speaking, Lou Yaoyao who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood and didnt like to do exercise was only one metre sixty two tall, whereas Lou Qinqing was one metre sixty eight tall. Even if the height didnt matter, their figures were also quite different. Lou Yaoyao wasnt an airport runway(t-chest), she could also be a little proud of, butpared to Lou Qingqings magnificent shape, it wasnt worth a thing. 1,62 m is about 54 and 1,68 m is about 56, I think? (Sorry if Im wrong. I too, use metric system.) After Lou Yaoyao finished her bath, she stood dejectedly in front of a mirror with bath towel wrapped around her body. She couldnt help but to look at her own feet. Her toes were round as pearl and glossy as jade, the skin was also tender and smooth. In the past life, in order to not to be inferior to Lou Qingqing, she had always worn more than ten centimetres high-heels. Not to mention that she had to endure hardship, her pair of feet had also due to long term of not being let out changed their shape. 10 cm ~ 4 inches? Lou Yaoyao couldnt help but to be somewhat grateful, now it wasnt too early nor toote. If it had been two yearster, Lou Qingqing would had been graduated to be independent, she would had transformed from the in and simple style of dress in her school period, to the sexy White Bone Spirits look, dazzling men with allure. Everyone said that was because she had broken away from the family who had been mistreating her, and thus turned over a new leaf. White Bone Spirit: shapeshifting demoness from Journey to the West. For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baigujin Jealousy made people crazy, especially when you found that the one that had always been inferior to you, was leaving you far behind. That taste was suffice to wipe out reason and rationality. Lou Yaoyao pushed open the bathrooms door, her bare feet stepped on the soft woolen rug, her toes werepletely stretched out. As that soft and wonderful sensation was transmitted to her brain, all of her worries seemed to bepletely away. Lou Yaoyao slowly walked step by step and for the first time thoroughly observed her own bedroom. The snow white soft woolen rug was on the floor, the light blue curtains were hung by the side of the french window. Arge bed, which was enough for her to roll ten times on it without even falling down, was arranged in the middle of the room. The pink bed drapes were hung above, the bed sheet was pink, the quilt was pink, the pillow was pink, and there were even a pair of human-sized pink bunny dolls at the bedside. This was probably the princess bedroom in a little girls dream. Lou Yaoyao sat on the bed, she was feeling nostalgic about these bunny dolls. It was very hard to imagine that this kind of cute arrangement was done by her stern old-fashioned Maternal Grandfather. By the time Mama had been born, Maternal Grandfather had been nearly fifty years old. Its reasonable to say that when elderly gains a daughter, its normal to be extremely doting. But Mama, who had lost her mother just after she had been born, had been raised and educated like a son by Maternal Grandfather. He had been extremely strict, because he had known that he had been old, that he wouldnt have been able to protect her for many yearster. He had been worried that after his death, his daughter would be bully by others. Therefore, he would have rather endured his daughters resentment, and had ruthlessly alienated his daughter. But perhaps in order to make up for never being close to mother, the extremely strict Maternal Grandfather had been tremendously doting to Lou Yaoyao. He seemed to had given everything to Lou Yaoyao, what he originally hadnt been able to give to Mama. Lou Yaoyao thought that perhaps this bedroom, was what Maternal Grandfather had wanted for Mama. However this dreamy bedroom, was entirely rearranged by Lou Yaoyao two yearster in a fit of rage. A twenty two years old woman yet still lived in a sparkly pink princess bedroom, she would be ridicule by mature woman, because this was very childish! Over the years, Lou Yaoyao had missed more than once, missed her princess bedroom, missed her childishness. Only after ones had be grown up women did they understand that that kind of childishness that they had always wanted to grow up when they were little was what they heavily yearned for now, but wasnt able to get. Because they were already a grown up woman and these kind of childish things were belong to little children. A little girl who wore princess dress was forever innocent and adorable. A grown-up women who wore princess dress, even though it was just a slightly cute, a little immature dress, were a fake who pretended to be pure! Heaven knows how Lou Yaoyao had wanted to do it all over again! But she hadnt been able ah, because she had not wanted be inferior to Lou Qingqing ah, she had not wanted to be said by others that she was unfeminine ah, she had not wanted to be said that she had not have any sex appeal ah! Just for these not wanted tos, those years, her life had been extremely tiresome. The moment she saw this bed, Lou Yaoyao decided that this time, she would carefully treasure each and every of these, she wouldnt let anyone change these! As for other peoples opinions? In those years, beside being ridicule, what else had she gotten? Keep onughing, ok? I will treat them aspliments and receive all of them! With a sharply risen good mood, Lou Yaoyao was cheerfully and lightheartedly pacing, walking back and forth inside the room. The kitten shaped dressing table, the cosmetics werent in disorder, thiss really good! The clean and neat dressing room, didnt have any dress that was too open nor too sexy, all was cute, thiss really good! Each and every furnitures was painted with sparkly pink, this was indeed very good! To be a childish woman, its really good! Lou Yaoyao was almost going crazy, up until Aunty Liu knocked on the door to remind her that she should have dinner, only then did she reluctantly came out of her pink bubble. She was choosing in the dressing room for quite a while, hesitating to decide for quite a while. She wanted to wear every dress, it was really very difficult for her to choose. Finally, without any better option, she closed her eyes and randomly picked a set of dress. After properly changed her clothes, Lou Yaoyao sat at the dressing table to arrange her hair, but she caught a sight of a familiar blue box on the table. She took the box withplicated mood and opened it. In it,y two in and simple bracelets. The bracelets wereposed of blue square-shaped beads, however the corners and edges were grinded to be smooth and round so that one didnt have to be worried about being pricked on the wrist. They felt ice-cold, like a jade but not a jade, like a stone but not a stone, the beads had some vein lines in them, they looked very much in and simple. This was the birthday gift which she had prepared for Chen Hao, one was to be given as present for Chen Hao and the other was for her to wear. Chen Hao had never been seen wearing his, but she had been wearing hers for seven years. This one looked like a in and simple gift, yet she had spend a lot of thought on it. Perhaps because it was too in and simple, Lou Qingqing only then thought that it wasnt worthy of being destroyed, after had taken it away, she also returned it back again. If this not the case, Lou Yaoyao could ce the me on Lou Qingqing. Anyway, Lou Yaoyaos unreasonable tantrums were well-known, she didnt care of how much dirty water would be sshed on her again. To ssh dirty water: nder This bracelet naturally wouldnt be gifted again, however... she hated to part with it. After all, she had spent a lot of thought on it. She also not used to. After had been wearing it for so many years, her wrist felt empty, her mind felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, Lou Yaoyao opened the left side drawer and found a bussiness card from the inside. Hello, greetings, is this Lins Jewellery Store?... I am Lou Yaoyao. Last time, I ordered a pair of bracelet to be made in your store. ... No, I dont have any question, but I want to order another pair to be made. ... Not the same, change one of the name... Lou Yaoyao put down the telephone, searched for a pair of scissors, cut both of the bracelets, and then throw them into the dustbin without any reluctance. Whether it was gift or good feeling, both should be given to a person who would cherish them. This secret, Chen Hao hadnt found it after so many years, how could he found it now? No longer thinking about this issue, Lou Yaoyao took something from her right side drawer and went downstairs. This trantion belonged to otomeruri.wordpress please do not host it elsewhere. Except for Lou Yaoyao, Lou Yuanzhi and Fang Xilei as well as Lou Qingqing had been waiting at the dinning table for a while. Seeing Lou Yaoyao went down, Lou Yuanzhi who had been talking andughing with Lou Qingqing pulled a long face and sternly looked at Lou Yaoyao. Lou Yaoyao did not care at all, she trod down the stairs joyfully,pletely ignoring Lou Yuanzhi. Fang Xilei saw Lou Yaoyao and hinted to Aunty Liu that dinner could be served now, but she was stopped by Lou Yuanzhi. He stared at Lou Yaoyao with a cold face: Dont be in a hurry to serve. First, Yaoyao, I have something to say to you. Lou Yaoyao had just walked to the table, cordially said Mama for her greeting, and then pulled away the chair to sit down. Then she tilted her head to look at Lou Yuanzhi. She had to admit that this man was undoubtedly quite handsome. Time seemed to be especially good toward this man. For a man who was over forty years old, yet he only appeared as if he was in his early thirties. Probably because he normally behaved too gentle, even when he showed his cold face, he appeared very kind as well, harmless. It was said that the appearance stems from the mind. Lou Yaoyao once had believed that he could only had this cold face and warm heart, onlyter had she found out, that he merely had pretended to forget how to express his anger. Lou Yuanzhi was slightly displeased by his daughters observant gaze, his face became colder: Yaoyao, I have told you so many times, to not act carelessly. And when you make any mistake, the first thing to do should be to introspect yourself, not to blindly me others. This time you lost your thing because your own carelessness, and you put all the me on your elder sister. How do I normally teach you? Should my, Lou Yuanzhis daughter falsely use a person? Im sorry, Papa, I know it is wrong. Just when everyone thought that Lou Yaoyao would angrily refute, Lou Yaoyao obediently lower her head and sincerely admitted her mistake. Lou Yuanzhi was taken aback, he looked at Lou Yaoyao with a little more inquiring eyes, his tone was a bit softer: Its good that you know your wrong. Yaoyao, apologise to your elder sister. Everyone was waiting for Lou Yaoyao to blow up. Fang Xilei was already very displeased. Although, there was nothing wrong with Lou Yuanzhis words, but if her daughter then said anything excessive due to anger, she would turned a deaf ear, because she would not let her daughter be bullied. Elder Sister, Im sorry. said Lou Yaoyao, her big eyes looked pitifully at Lou Qingqing: I shouldnt be stingy like that. I obviously knew that your cellphone was broken, yet unwilling to lend you one. Lou Yaoyao put the thing that she had been holding in her hand on the table and pushed it to Lou Qingqing. It was naturally just an 80% new cellphone. Changing the topic of the conversation, Lou Yaoyao opened her big eyes and rather pitifully asked: However, Elder Sister, that cellphone that you had taken from my bedroom yesterday, is a present from Qin Zhi to me, although I dont use it now, but I want to keep it as a memento. So, can Elder Sister return that cellphone to me? Moreover, that cellphone is already quite old, Elder Sister had better use this one. Lou Qingqing was dumbstruck, she had been well prepared to be showered in curses severely, she didnt expect that what came around was this one. Having heard her daughters words, Fang Xilei knew that things had changed, she promptly asked ahead of Lou Yuanzhi: Yaoyao, whats the matter? Didnt you say that you lost the present that you prepared for Chen Hao? Why are you talking about cellphone? The gift for Chen Hao? It wasnt lost. Yesterday, after I came back, I thought that I didnt like it, so I just threw it on the floor. Elder Sister, this is about the cellphone, isnt it? With a puzzled face, Lou Yaoyao threw the question at Lou Qingqing. Lou Yuanzhi also asked a question: Qingqing, whats going on? Why are Yaoyaos words different from yours? Papa, its not... Papa, Elder Sister was probably embarrassed to tell the truth. Its actually like this, Elder Sisters cellphone was identally broken by me two days ago, however Elder Sister is currently working in student union, its quite inconvenience without a cellphone, therefore Elder Sister wanted me to lend her a cellphone and nned to return it back to me right after she get her next months allowance. However, at that time, I was annoyed with Elder Sister, therefore I did not agree. Yesterday, after I came back, I found out that a cellphone was missing, then I had a quarrel with Elder Sister. Now after I carefully thought about it, I think that this matter is my fault. I have so many cellphones, yet refused to lend Elder Sister one. I was too stingy. Im sorry, Elder Sister. I give this cellphone to you, no need to return it back. Lou Qingqing always spoke with a soft voice, she was not Lou Yaoyaos opponent, her voice was overshadowed by Lou Yaoyaos at once, then Lou Yaoyao noisily threw out a bunch of sentence. That tone and the meaning of the words, rather than admitting mistake, this was called to show off! Suffered from injustice, Lou Qingqings eyes immediately reddened: Papa, it isnt like this. Aunty Liu and Aunty Lu can testify that what Yaoyao said is not true. Lou Yuanzhi had a bit of a headache. The one on his left showed repentance and looked at him sincerely, the one on his right side had a anxious red eyes, seemed to had suffered from enormous injustice. Lou Yuanzhi looked impatiently across the kitchen door, waiting until both of these housekeepers toe out to serve: Yesterdays matter, how much did you hear? Immediately, everyones eyes were gathered on these housekeeper aunties. Both of the housekeepers exchanged a nce. Aunty Liu smiled at Lou Yaoyao and then stated: We were downstairs, didnt hear it very clearly. But we indeed have heard cellphone and present, this two words. Aunty Lu also nodded and agreed. Lou Qingqings eyes widened, with a face of disbelief and hurt. She regarded herself as being normally respectful toward this two aunties, so much that she even had helped them do household duties. Compared with Lou Yaoyao who often asked them to do this and that, and even shouting everywhere, hers was a lot more respectful. She didnt understand why they would partnered up to frame her! Looking at Lou Qingqings expression, Lou Yaoyao smiled. She had always been a person who understood very well how to make use of her own advantages. Lou Qingqing would never understand that she was, after all, an outsider to this family. Moreover, did she naively thought that both aunties were indulging Lou Yaoyao, merely because they were this familys housekeepers? No, not only because of this. Now, in this era, if one dislikes their job, one could just leave. They were indulging Lou Yaoyao, because of affections ah! From the beginning, as she had started to form memories, she had always been with this two aunties. Their affections were, so to say, half of close rtives yet not overstepping boundaries. Lou Qingqing who tried to squeeze in halfway, wouldnt possibly understand! Lou Qingqing had looked at her arrogance and despotism, but had never looked at what let her became arrogant. In the past life, she was very stupid. Otherwise, with everything she had, could Lou Qingqing still be able to jump around? Stop dreaming! Well then, this matter stop here! Lou Yuanzhi looked at both of the housekeepers with anger in his eyes. He even had some resentment against Lou Qingqing, because she had embarrassed him, but this moods must not be shown at his face: Let the dinner be served. Papa... Lou Qingqing felt that today was extremely surreal, her brain was a little dull. Why was after she endured injustice, Papa didnt redress it? Why did he let it be like this? However she had been wronged, she didnt understand why she did not get the slightest response! Lou Qingqing didnt know, but Lou Yaoyao knew, its because Lou Yuanzhi had a taboo, which was, must not talk to him about money! If not because being reborn again, she probably wouldnt know that her own Papa had such interesting secret! Beside, whether this matter was true or fake, would one be able to investigate it? How many cellphones she had not used and thrown away, she herself didnt know. Not to mention the cellphones that Mama had bought for her and the ones she had bought herself, even just the ones that Qin Zhi had bought for herself were quite a lot, if one or two were missing, who would have known? Who could testify? It was as if dead men tell no tales! If they couldnt find any cellphone in Lou Qingqings bedroom, hey, who knew where she was hiding it? Lou Yuanzhis weakness was money, Lou Qingqings weakness was also money. How was it? Its good enough that mother as the mistress of the house did not drive you out, did you still expect the mistress to give you money? Dont be ridiculous! Also, for some reason, Lou Yuanzhi would not give Lou Qingqing a lot of money. In fact, Lou Qingqings cellphone had indeed been broken by her, Papa and Mama also knew about this matter. Only, Lou Qingqing hadnt borrow a cellphone from her! But, so what? She wanted to reverse right and wrong C ck and white, who did care? Even if her lies were found out, who would testify? Although a lie was a lie, but a lie that let others became dumbstruck and unable to reply was the proof! She should be grateful to Lou Qingqing, it was Lou Qingqing who had taught her this truth! Lou Yaoyao was eating her dinner as she delightfully humming a song, without the slightest regard of the other twos moods. Regarding her daughters graceless conduct, although Fang Xilei felt it was a bit unsightly, but she didnt want to destroy her daughters rare good mood. Lou Qingqing grit her own teeth as if she wanted to break them all into pieces! When had she suffered this much humiliation? For the first time, in confrontation, Lou Qingqing waspletely defeated, she even didnt know why she was defeated! This was only the beginning! After dinner, Lou Yaoyao who was rolling on herrge pink bed shouting in her heart: The feeling of being childish, its really good ah! Chapter 4 - [To be a naive woman] Chapter 4 [To be a naive woman] Lou Yao Yao left the hospital on the same day, because her body basically had no issues. Going home was better than staying in the hospital and feeling useless. Even though Fang Xi Lei didnt agree, she was unable to change Lou Yao Yaos mind and could only agree. Naturally, the discharge could not be avoided. The first thing she did after returning home was to take a bath. As for Lou Qing Qing, who looked like wanted to speak out but couldnt, was doing housework in the hall. Lou Yao Yaopletely ignored her. Lou Qing Qing had better not provoke her; otherwise she would experience what true viciousness was like. During her previous life, she cherished her reputation too much. Although there were many people insulting her behind her back, outside of quarrelling and sarcastic words, she basically hasnt done anything excessive. Other people had the idea that jiejie was treated as a servant and beaten. In reality, how could that ever happen? Lou Qing Qing had a father who cared so much about her.... Besides... she was unable to defeat Lou Qing Qing. A disgraceful thing was that Lou Yao Yao, who was pampered from childhood and disliked sports, was 1 meter 62 centimeters whereas Lou Qing Qing was 1 meter 68 centimeters. Even if they dontpare heights, their statures had a great deal of difference. Lou Yao Yao wasnt t as an airport; she could be proud of what she had. Howeverpared to Lou Qing Qings bountiful stature, hers was unsightly. After Lou Yao Yao finished her bath, she wrapped a towel around her and looked in the mirror. She sighed with discouragement. She couldnt help but look at her feet. Her toes were as smooth as jade. Her skin was tender and glossy. In her previous life, in order to not be inferior to Luo Qing Qing she continuously wore 19 centimeter high heels. Not to even mention her suffering, her feet changed shape because she wore heels for too long without removing them. Lou Yao Yao couldnt help but rejoice. The time she arrived was not too early nor toote. If it was two yearster, Lou Qing Qing would have graduated and gained independence. She hadpletely changed her in and simple style of dress she wore to school for a sexy, seductive style. She was enchanting and dazzling. Other people all said it was because she left the family that mistreated her. Naturally she would be reborn. Jealousy makes people crazy. Especially when you discover that the person who you thought was continuously inferior to you is now far above you... that taste is enough to obliterate all rationality. Lou Yao Yao pushed open the bathroom door and stepped barefoot onto the soft wool carpet. Her toes were fully syed out. The soft and wonderful sensation transmitted itself to her brain. It seemed as though all her worries left her. Lou Yao Yao slowly walked step by step. For the first time she seriously sized up her own room. On the floor was a soft, snow white woolen carpet. At the sides of the French window were light blue curtains. In the center of a room was arge bed which she could roll around over 10 times without falling off. The curtains around the bed were pink as were the bed sheets, quilt, and pillows. There were even two bunny dolls that were as big as a half a person at the headboard of the bed. This was the princess room that all girls dreamed about. Lou Yao Yao sat down at the head of the bed and touched one of the bunny dolls reminiscently. It was hard to imagine that such cute decorations came from her severe, old-fashioned maternal grandfather. Her mother was born when her maternal grandfather was nearing 50 years of age. Reasonably speaking, (its expected that) a girl born in the autumn of onester years to be exceptionally spoiled. However mother, was brought up in an exceptionally severe manner simr to a boy by maternal grandfather since she had lost her own mother. This severity was because he knew that he was old and wouldnt be able to protect her for many years. He was worried that when he passed away other people would bully his daughter. Thus, he would prefer that his daughter resented him and cruel-heartedly estranged his daughter. Perhaps in order to make up for not being intimate with her mother, maternal grandfather iparably doted on Lou Yao Yao despite being excessively strict. It seemed as though he wanted to give to Lou Yao Yao everything he hadnt given mother. Lou Yao Yao thought, perhaps, this room was what maternal grandfather once wanted to give to mother. However, this room that was filled with the atmosphere of dreams was destroyed by Lou Yao Yao in a rage two yearster. She was already 22 years old but still lived in a pink princess room. Mature women would sneer at the childishness. Over the years, Lou Yao Yao reminisced many times on her princess bedroom and her own naivety. Only a woman who was old would know to long for this naivety. When one is young, they want to grow up. But after they do grow up, they learn to yearn for this past naivety. However, it was impossible to have as they have already be a mature woman. Naivety is for small children. A young girl wearing a princess skirt will forever be naive and lovable. However, an adult woman wearing a princess skirt, although she might be a little cute and delicate; she is actually artificial and pretending to be pure. God knows how much Lou Yao Yao wanted to be artificial once. But she couldnt. She didnt want to be inferior to Lou Qing Qing. She didnt want people to say that she wasnt feminine or to say that she didnt have sex appeal. These things, she doesnt want them now, in these past years living has made her iparably tired. In the instant her gazended on the bed, Lou Yao Yao resolved this time she would cherish everything, not allowing anyone to change it. As for the publics view, in those past years, other than being a joke what has she gained? Let other people continue tough; she epted it and would turn theirughter into praise. Lou Yao Yaos mood rose as though she was walking on clouds. She wandered around her room. Her small cat shaped dressing table did not have clustered cosmetics anymore. This was good. Her clean and neat dressing room was full of cute clothes and devoid of sexy clothes that was unattainable for her. This was wonderful. Every piece of furniture was covered in pink frills. This was marvelous! Being a naive woman was truly great! Lou Yao Yao was simply enchanted. It was only when Aunt Liu knocked on the door to remind her she should eat dinner that she struggled out of her pink bubble. She was in her dressing room for a very long time choosing what to wear. She hesitated, unable to choose. She wanted to wear every piece of clothing. It was really too hard to choose so she decided to close her eyes and randomly take a set of clothing. After changing, Lou Yao Yao sat at her dressing table to tidy up her hair. But then, she saw a familiar box on top of the dressing table. After a while, Lou Yao Yao took the box and opened it in aplicated mood. There were two simple chain bracelets lying in the box. The chain bracelet was made of square blue beads with a few veins running through them. The corners of the bead were rubbed round so that it would not prick ones hand. It was ice-cold to the touch. It resembled jade but wasnt jade; It resembled stone, but wasnt stone. She had prepared it for Chen Hao to wear as a birthday gift and had nned to give to Chen Hao one day. She herself had worn the other pair. Chen Hao had never seen her wearing it but she had worn it for 7 years. It was a simple gift but she had spent a lot of thought on it. Perhaps the gift was too simple Lou Qing Qing disdained to destroy it. She carried it off only to return itter. Otherwise, she would have had to make up for it. Anyway, Lou Yao Yao was notorious for causing trouble intentionally. There was no need to throw filthy water on her reputation twice. Naturally, Lou Yao Yao would not gift the chain bracelet again. But... she wasnt able to give it up. After all, she had spent so much thought on it. Nor was she used to the feeling of emptiness on her wrist. After thinking for a while, Lou Yao Yao opened a nearby drawer to find a business card. Hello, is this Lin Jewelry Line? ............ I am Lou Yao Yao. Last time I custom ordered a pair of chain bracelets from your store. .............. No, there arent any problems. I would like to order another pair................ Not the same pair. I would like to change one of the names. Lou Yao Yao put down the phone and found a pair of scissors. She cut the two chain bracelets and threw them in the trash with no regrets. Gifts were good. Regard was also good. But they should be given to people who would treasure them. In all those years, Chen Hao hadnt discovered this secret. Would he now discover it? Instead of thinking of this problem, Lou Yao Yao took one of the many simr shaping objects from the right drawer and went downstairs. Other than Lou Yao Yao, Lou Yuanzhi, Fang Lei Xi and Lou Qing Qing had been waiting at the dinner table for some time. Looking at Lou Yao Yao, Lou Yuanzhi who was originallyughing and talking with Lou Qing Qing, his face immediately sank.... Lou Yao Yao didnt care at all. She went down the stairs with joy,pletely disregarding Lou Yuanzhi, as if he were nothing. Fang Xi Lei looked at Lou Yao Yao and hinted to Auntie Liu to serve dinner. However, Lou Yuanzhi blocked her. He looked coldly at Lou Yao Yao, dont rush to serve the food. Lou Yao Yao, I have something to say to you. Lou Yao Yao had just arrived at the table. She shouted mother warmly, then pulled out a chair and sat down. Then she leaned to look at Lou Yuanzhi. She couldnt help but admit that this man was undoubtedly quite handsome. It seemed as though time was particrly kind towards this man. He was already in his 40s, but looked like he was in his early 30s. He normally showed excessive mildness. Even when putting on a cold face, he still seemed amicable, without any killing power. It is said that a persons face is shaped by their heart. Lou Yao Yao once believed that he was cold on the outside and warm-hearted inside. Only afterwards did she learn that he was just pretending to have forgotten how to express himself, his anger. Regarding his daughters examining look, Lou Yuanzhi was somewhat displeased. His face became colder by two points. Lou Yao Yao, how many times have I told you? When doing things, dont be careless. If you make a mistake, the first thing you should do is analyze yourself. You shouldnt blindly push your own mistakes onto someone else. This time because of your own negligence you lost something but you pushed all the me on your jiejie. How do I usually teach you? Could it be that my, Lou Yuanzhi, daughter can only falsely use people? I am sorry, Father. I know Im wrong. When everyone thought that Lou Yao Yao would get angry and retort, Lou Yao Yao obediently lowered her head and honestly admitted her wrongs. Lou Yuanzhi stared nkly. Seeing that Lou Yao Yaos expression was somewhat inquiring, his mood softened a little. Knowing your mistake is good. Yao Yao, give your jiejie an apology. Everyone waited for Lou Yao Yao to blow up. Fang Xi Lei was already greatly displeased. But, there was nothing wrong with what Lou Yuanzhi had said. However, if her daughter blew up and said something excessive, she would treat it as the wind blowing past her ears. There was no reason to let her daughter be bullied. Jiejie, sorry, when Lou Yao Yao was speaking, she looked at Lou Qing Qing miserably with big eyes, I shouldnt have been so stingy. Despite knowing that your cell phone was broken, I didnt want to lend you a cell phone. Lou Yao Yao ced the thing in her hand on the table and pushed it near Lou Qing Qing. It was probably a new cell phone. Shifting to a new topic, Lou Yao Yao opened her eyes piteously to say, But jiejie, that cell phone model you took from my room yesterday is a gift from Qin Zhi. Although I dont use it now, I want to keep it as a memento. Therefore, can jiejie give me back that cell phone model? In addition, that cell phone model is already old. Jiejie, why dont you use this model? Lou Qing Qing was dumbstruck. She had already been prepared for the torrent of scolding that was sure to happen. She hadnt thought that it would be like this. After listening to her daughters words, Fang Xi Lei knew that things had turned for the better. She immediately rushed to ask before Lou Yuanzhi. Yao Yao, whats going on? Didnt you say that the gift you prepared for Chen Hao was lost? What does a cell phone have to do with this? The gift I was going to give Chen Hao? After I took it back yesterday, I didnt like it. I conveniently discarded it on the ground. Jiejie, wasnt the matter about the cell phone? Lou Yao Yaos face was bewildered; she flung the issue back to Lou Qing Qing. Lou Yuanzhi also asked a question, Qing Qing, whats the matter? Why is that Yao Yaos ount is different from yours? Father, the matter isnt....... Father, jiejie might be embarrassed to tell you the truth. Actually, its like this: two days ago I wasnt careful and broke jiejies phone. But, jiejie works with the student association so its inconvenient for her not to have a phone. Therefore, jiejie wanted to borrow a cell phone and return the phone when she got next months living expenses. However, at that time, I was squabbling with jiejie so I refused to agree to this. Yesterday, when I returned, I discovered that I was missing a phone so I quarreled with jiejie. Today, I carefully thought it over. I was wrong in this matter. I have so many phones, but I refused to lend one to jiejie. I was being petty. Im sorry, jiejie. Ill give you this cell phone model. You dont have to return it. Lou Qing Qing always spoke softly. How could she be Lou Yao Yaos match? Lou Yao Yaos voice drowned out Lou Qing Qings. Afterwards, Lou Yao Yao let out a flood of words. The meaning of her tone and those words, rather than saying it was to admit her wrongs, it was to show off. Lou Qing Qing was used falsely, instantly the rim of her eyes turned red, Father, it isnt like that. Auntie Liu and Auntie Lu can testify. What Yao Yao said isnt true. Lou Yuanzhi had a bit of a headache. On the left, Yao Yao was wearing a look of sincere repentance on her face. On the right, Qing Qings anxious eyes were red; she looked as if she was bearing an enormous grievance. Lou Yuanzhi short-temperedly looked at the two housekeepers standing at the kitchen doorway, waiting to serve the food, Yesterdays matter, how much did you hear? Immediately, everyones gaze turned toward the two housekeepers. The two housekeepers nced at each other; Auntie Liu smiled at Yao Yao and then said, We were downstairs. What we heard wasnt very clear; however, we did really hear the two words: phone and gift. Auntie Lu also nodded. Lou Qing Qing stared with wide eyes, she looked wounded and as if she couldnt believe her ears. She resigned herself to be especially respectful towards the two aunts, to the point that she even helped them with the housework. Compared to Lou Yao Yao, who was always requesting this and that and even shouted and quarreled with them, she treated them much better. She didnt understand. Why did they help Yao Yao frame her? Looking at Lou Qing Qings expression, Lou Yao Yao smiled. She was always a person who understood how to make use of ones advantages. Lou Qing Qing could not understand. After all that is said and done, she was an outsider to this household. Besides, Qing Qing naively thought that the two aunties indulgence to her was merely because they were the housekeepers of this household. No, no it wasnt like that. In this age, if ones job wasnt satisfactory, one could definitely leave. Their indulgence of her was because of their deep affection towards her. From the very beginning of her memories, she was with these two housekeepers. To say her rtionship with them was like half a family member wouldnt be overboard. Lou Qing Qing who came in halfway, how could she understand! Lou Qing Qing saw her as arrogant and despotic. She hadnt seen what made her so arrogant! In her past life, she was too stupid; otherwise, with everything she had, how could Lou Qing Qing rise up? Stop dreaming! Ok, this is the end of this matter. Lou Yuanzhi looked at the maids with concealed rage in his eyes. He was even a little resentful toward Lou Qing Qing because she made him lose face. But he couldnt show his mood on his face. Come serve dinner. Father... Lou Qing Qing thought today was too much like a fantasy. Her brain seemed a little insufficient. Why did father not help her redress her grievances when she was treated unjustly? Why did it easily pass over? She didnt understand. Her grievance hadnt gotten the slightest response. Lou Qing Qing didnt know but Lou Yao Yao did. It was because Lou Yuanzhi had a taboo. One couldnt discuss money with him. If she hadnt rebirthed, she probably wouldnt have known that her father had such an interesting secret. Also this matter, how could they figure out whether it was true or false? The number of phones that she discarded in the cell phone drawer, even she didnt how many there were. Not to mention the ones mother bought her or the ones she bought. Even Qin Zhi bought her many phones. If one or two were missing, who would know? Who could testify? Basically, no one would ever be able to tell. If the phone couldnt be found in Lou Qing Qings room, who knew where she had concealed it? Lou Yuanzhis weakness was money. Lou Qing Qings weakness was also money. What? The fact that his wife hadnt driven away the illegitimate child was already good! Could one expect her to give money as well? Dont make meugh! But for certain reasons, Lou Yuanzhi wouldnt give too much money to Lou Qing Qing. As a matter of fact, Lou Qing Qings phone really had been broken by her. Both father and mother knew about it. It was just that Lou Qing Qing had never asked to borrow one of her phones. But so what? She wanted to inverse right and wrong, ck and white, who can stop her? Even if someone knew that she is telling a lie, who can testify? Although a lie is a lie, a lie that can make people be at a loss for words, this is proof. She should thank Lou Qing Qing. Qing Qing had taught her this truth. Lou Yao Yao ate dinner while delightfully humming a tune, not caring in the slightest about the mood of the two other people. Although Fang Xi Lei couldnt really bear to watch her daughters indecent behavior, she didnt want to destroy one of her daughters rare happy moods. Lou Qing Qing grinded her teeth. When had she ever been so humiliated? This first confrontation, Lou Qing Qing waspletely defeated. She was even unable to make heads or tails of her defeat. However, this was only the beginning! After dinner, Lou Yao Yao who was rolling on top of her pink bed, howled inside of her heart, This childish feeling is really good! Chapter 5 - [A heavy burden but a long road] Chapter 5 [A heavy burden but a long road] The next day, Lou Yao Yao woke up early. Yesterday night she was too excited, she tossed and turned about, but was unable to sleep. Afterwards, she pulled out a photo album and looked at for a long time. While she was looking at it, she unknowingly fell asleep. Even though she didnt sleep long, the insufficient amount of sleep didnt lead to exhaustion. Her entire self was refreshed; it seemed like she as an inexhaustible amount of energy. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Lou Yao Yao leaned forward to look at her university schedule lying on the dressing table. As a sophomore student in university, she still had to attend sses. However, she would only attend professional courses that called roll. She basically wouldnt go to the normal elective sses. She spent a long time pouring over her ss schedule. Shepared the schedule with the rm clock on the headboard. Today was June 20th, a Sunday. There were no sses today. There were also no important sses tomorrow, she could skip. However, on Tuesday there was apulsory course by the dean. After determining she could stay at home these two days, Lou Yao Yao decided what to do these two days in her heart. She must meet Qing Zhi! This was what she had nned yesterday evening. In order to give Qing Zhi a pleasant surprise, she especially endured not calling or sending a text message to Qin Zhi. She didnt know Qin Zhis arrival time, but she could guess it. Father had scolded her because she had quarrelled with Lou Qing Qing and fallen down the stairs. Thus, she quarrelled loudly with father. Afterwards, she had hidden in her home for two days until Qin Zhi returned. When he returned, she grabbed him andined to him until her mood turned better. At that time, the sky wasnt yet dark, but Auntie Liu asked them to eat dinner in the evening shortly after. Therefore, Qing Zhi must have arrived at her house around 5 to 6 oclock. It took one hour to go from the Southern airport to her house so Qin Zhis flight must havended at 4 oclock. There was, at most, around 1 hour difference. She praised herself for her cleverness in her heart. Then, Lou Yao Yao changed out of her pajamas, then went downstairs to eat breakfast. It wasnt yet 7 oclock, but Fang Xi Lei and Lou Yuanzhi were already downstairs reading the newspaper. Hearing the sound of hering downstairs, Fang Xi Lei nced up but Lou Yuanzhi didnt even lift his head. The two aunties were in the kitchen making breakfast. Lou Qing Qing had grabbed a dishcloth and was cleaning the table. nting her eyes, Lou Yao Yao walked past her. Before long, from the kitchen came the sound of Lou Yao Yao acting like spoiled brat. She wanted to eat this. She wanted to eat that. She demanded a lot of many things. The two aunties good-naturedly agreed. Lou Qing Qing lowered her head and cleaned the table in silence. The whole family ate breakfast in silence. Fang Xi Lei said a few words to Lou Yao Yao, then went to work with Lou Yuanzhi. What about Lou Yuanzhi? That petty man didnt even nce at Lou Yao Yao from beginning to end. Lou Yao Yao also didnt pay attention to him. Lou Qing Qing rushed to clean up the table and wash the dishes. The two aunties didnt prevent her from doing so. The two women who were past fifty, what havent they experienced , what kinds of people havent they met? Old people could see people clearly. Those who were mothers, even if theycked the ability to raise their child, who didnt want the best future for their child? They werent like Lou Yao Yao. They could see the deeper things in a matter. Giving birth to a child, who was she putting on a y for? The small tricks that Lou Qing Qings mother was up to, could it be that they werent able to see through it? As for Lou Qing Qing doing a little bit of housework, did she really think that she was genuine eldest youngdy? Was doing a little housework seem like a grievance as big as the sky? Wasnt this clearly making them look useless? In the case of a master who was didnt understand, wasnt this fastening on them thebel of mistreating guests? However, the master Fang Xi Lei said to let her do what she wanted. No one waspelling her to do the housework. If she was expecting Lou Yuanzhi to speak out for her, wasnt that being a little too naive? Auntie Liu and Auntie Lu leisurely cracked open melon seeds while chatting with Lou Yao Yao and watching a drama. The three people nestled in the sofa and talked merrily, the atmosphere was very cozy. Lou Qing Qing clenched her teeth while washing the dishes. She listened to the sounds of happiness andughter outside and so angry that her liver went bad. Those two ungrateful old goods! Lou Qing Qing stubbornly washed serveral tes for an hour. When she came out, she had cramped hands, and aching waist and a sore back. Lou Qing Qings idea, Lou Yao Yao wasnt inclined to stop it. She was busy chatting with the two aunties. Speaking of which, she hadnt seen them for sometime. After Auntie Lius son came to take care of her in her old age, Auntie Lu was lonely by herself. Before long her son also picked her up. In fact, ording to the two peoples ages, they should already have retired. However, the work in the Fang household was very easy. They just had to buy the groceries and cook three meals every day. A part-timer came to do the other housework. Lou Yao Yao went to school and they also took turns to return to their homes every two days. Their family member werent greatly opposed to them working even in their old age. Secondly, they couldnt bear to give up Lou Yao Yao whom they had watched grow up. In Lou Yao Yaos memory, the most intimate people were, firstly her maternal grandfather, secondly Qin Zhi, thirdly the two aunties, and her mother Fang Xi Lei was fourth. Thus, their rtionship not so good. Lou Yao Yao apanied the two old women watch TV all morning, ate lunch, and then rested a little. At exactly two oclock, Lou Yao Yao rushed to the airport. Lou Yao Yao had obtained her drivers license. However she never drove. This was because she was toozy. She couldnt remember the roads and she didnt like being tired. Also, after that matter, Lou Yao Yao was a little afraid of riding in a car. When she closed her eyes, she thought a steel bar would fly towards her. But this time, she could she really walk rather than ride a car? Lou Yao Yao encouraged herself and thought of her task for a while. Only then was she able to tremblingly hold out her hand to g a taxi. Lou Yao Yao informed the driver of the address then sat stiffly on the seat, not speaking. Probably because of her extremely nervous expression, the taxi driver jokingly said, Youngdy, are you going to the airport to meet your boyfriend? Lou Yao Yao shifted a little of her attention to him, and despondently replied, He isnt my boyfriend yet. The driver looked at the back mirror and wanted to continue on to say something that would make this youngdy less nervous. In the end, Lou Yao Yaos eyes filled with seriousness stopped him from saying what he was going to say, Mr. Driver, please pay attention to the road, dont speak with me. Seeing that Lou Yao Yaos expression and tone were earnest, the driver didnt speak so that his good intentions didnt ruin things. After waiting an hour, Lou Yao Yaos body was already rigid, lost its consciousness. She got out the car tremblingly with the driver looking strangely at her. She took her phone out her bag to check the time. It was 3:10. She shouldnt havee toote. She ordered a cup of hot milk at the airport. After she drank several cups, she finally felt like she was alive again. Her life was over. How should she live in the days after this? Lou Yao Yao drank the entire cup of milk, depressed. Then she looked for Qin Zhis exit. It had been so many years, she didnt really remember where Qin Zhi went or which ne he took. However, her seats position was very good. She could look at the entire situation. She could see every person exiting from the airport. Lou Yao Yao bought a magazine to look at. From 3:00 till 4:30, she drank many cups of beverage and went to the bathroom several times. Finally, she saw a familiar person in the crowd. Lou Yao Yao stood up excitedly. Looking at him through the crowd, she was stunned. It was definitely Qin Zhis face but she felt it was very unfamiliar. He was not the same as thest time she had seen him nor was he like the person in her memory. When shest saw him, his face was haggard but his eyes were clear and not desperate. In her memory, he always had a serious, straight face. His handsome face was gloomy. Only when facing her did he have a few happy expressions. But those happy expressions never reached his eyes. The current him was when his business just started. His entire person was high-spirited, glowing with health and vigor. Lou Yao Yao had forgotten. He was once used be to be bright, even his smiling face made people feel warm. Lou Yao Yao already hadnt seen for that kind of smile for a long time. She had even forgotten from when he had started stopped smiling. In the end, what had made him change so much, Lou Yao Yao couldnt figure it out. Then Lou Yao Yao saw that woman. The woman whose beauty made people envy her in her memories. He was smiling at her with the expression that he only showed her in her memories. Lou Yao Yao was suddenly unable to hear anything. She stared nkly at the two people standing next to each other speaking and smiling while going out of the airport. Then a beautiful woman wearing a professional suit waved at them and naturally took the luggage in Qin Zhis hand. Lou Yao Yao watch the three of them sit in a car and leave. She even forgot to stop them. Lou Yao Yao suddenly felt very confused. She wanted Qin Zhi to love her, but on what basis? If one randomly pulled out one of the women by his side, she would be more outstanding than her. What did she have? She wasnt a beauty that would turn heads, nor was she the type of beauty where the more one looked the more beautiful she seemed. The only good thing about her face was a pair of overly big eyes. At first sight, it frightened people. But her sole presentable point was her pampered white skin. This let her face look very exquisite. But itpletely didnt have any sexy beauty. People most often said she was cute. This face waspletely destroyed by her because of her over usage of cosmetics. Her face had made people confused as to whether she was a person or a ghost. Lou Yao Yao suddenly realized with horror, Qin Zhi saying that he loved her, could it have been to console her? This was very possible. How could the matter turn into this! Why did her pleasant surprise be a scare!? Putting aside Lou Yao Yao who was in a daze, the female assistant asked Qin Zhi if he wanted to return home or go to thepany. Qin Zhi chose to go a different destination. Originally the assistant and the secretary were still talking andughing, but when they saw their boss was daydreaming, they tacitly agreed to stop speaking. The car silently heading toward a vimunity and stopped at a three story vi. Auntie Liu and Auntie Lu were in the middle of watching a drama. They heard the doorbell ring and opened the door. When they saw Qin Zhi, instantly their faces broke into a smile. Qin Zhi saw Lou Qing Qing seriously mopping the living room floor behind the two aunties. He smiled and asked, Auntie, is Lou Yao Yao at home? Yao Yao went out after eating lunch, Liu Auntie happily said, Qin Zhi, quicklye in and sit down. We havent seen for some time. Today you should remain here and eat dinner. Auntie will make you a tableful of good dishes. You can just ask for whatever you want to eat. How about next time, Auntie Liu. I just came to give Yao Yao something. I still have to go to thepanyter. Qin Zhi smiled as he refused. Then he took the things in the trunk of the car and handed to the two housekeeper aunties. There were a lot of things, the two people had to go back and forth several times. Taking advantage of thisbor, Lou Qing Qing put down her mop, wiped away her sweat and walked towards them. She bashfully said,Qin Zhi gege. Qin Zhi politely but distantly nodded at her. He didnt show much expression, nor did he even nce at her. Lou Qing Qing blinked and used an extremely regretful tone to say, Qin Zhi gege came back today. Why didnt you tell Yao Yao ahead of time? If she knew that youing back today, she wouldnt have gone out with Chen Hao. Qin Zhi nced at her meaningfully, but still didnt respond. He handed over thest bag of things to Lu Auntie, then said goodbye and left. Sitting in the car, Qin Zhi closed his eyes and rubbed his dully aching temple. His originally radiant face instantly became depressed and full of exhaustion. How could he not be tired? He hadnt had a good nights sleep for two days. The assistant and the secretary silently nced at each other and reached a consensus. The assistant started the car and began heading toward Qin Zhis apartment. After a while, Qin Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the road. He said, Go to thepany. But boss....... Go to thepany. Dont make me repeat it a third time. Qin Zhi closed his eyes again. In order not to be fired, the female assistant very resentfully changed routes. Really, good intentions are not rewarded. In her heart, she thought bitterly, Who said this position was the best? This damn assistant position, who wants it! This kind of boss with his vtile temper, who wants him! Second Boss, you helped Big Boss find such attractive secretaries, its simply wanting to kill us. Second Boss, every debt has a perpetrator. Dont fire our pitiful group of female staff. Chapter 6 - [Let’s Go on a Date] Chapter 6 [Lets Go on a Date] When Lou Yao Yao struggled free from her delusions and climbed out of the taxi, the sun had already almost set. Auntie Liu who opened the door was jumped in fright because of her haggard face. She hurriedly pulled Lou Yao Yao inside the doorway and looked her over. Seeing nothing unusual, she rxed slightly and asked, Yao Yao, what happened? Was there someone who bullied you? Lou Yao Yao tilted her head to look at her, and saw a familiar person. Her grey and defeated eyes recovered a little bit of spirit. She grabbed Auntie Liu s shoulder and jumped and called out, AHHHHHHHH! All the people in the house were frightened by her mournful yelling. Auntie Lu quickly stopped her work in the kitchen and went out. Lou Qing Qing who was upstairs also came down, interested in Lou Yao Yaos new situation. How is Yao Yao? Auntie Lu rubbed her hands and asked Auntie Liu. Auntie Liu shook her head at a loss. She was a little giddy from Lou Yao Yaos shaking. Auntie Lu hurriedly went over to pull off Lou Yao Yao and said in a rebuking tone, Yao Yao, if you shake her again, your Auntie Liu will fall apart. Lou Yao Yao was pulled off, and realized that Auntie Liu was old. Auntie couldnt withstand her shaking Auntie like that. She started shouted Ahhhhhhh and running around the living room like crazy. It seemed like only this way was she able to vent the resentment in heart. The shiny floor that Lou Qing Qing had cleaned this afternoon was ruthlessly ruined by her. Seeing her so energetic, jumping there, Auntie Lu said hello to her and let Auntie Liu take care of her. She proceeded to go in the kitchen and continue to cook. Lou Yao Yao could still call out and jump. It proved that there was no problem. Lou Yao Yao was tired of running, she fell onto the sofa and feigned death. Auntie Liu walked over and stroked her head and her neck. She felt that it was slippery and hit Yao Yao once, Quickly go take a bath and change your clothes. How can you lie there? Youll catch a cold tomorrow. I dont want to! Lou Yao Yao refused to listen. She rolled over and turned her back to Auntie Liu. Auntie Liu also knew that this girl was open to persuasion but not to coercion. Thus she sat at Yao Yaos side, Yao Yao, tell Auntie whatever unhappy matter that is troubling you. Let Auntie give you some advice. Girls this age, their greatest worry was nothing else than love. Even if I say it, you wouldnt understand. Lou Yao Yao agonized over her worry, kicking her legs, Auntie, I suddenly think this world is full of despair. Pah. What kind of nonsense are the kids in every family saying. Auntie Liu pinched her humorously, Yao Yao, Ill say some fair advice. Chen Hao, that kid, doesnt suit you. I see that Qin Zhi isnt bad. When he returned from a business trip far away, the first thing he thought of was you. He has his heart set on you. Other than Qin Zhi, where can you find someone else like that? Auntie, did Qin Zhi visit? Lou Yao Yao who was feigning death, turned her head toward Auntie. Her pair of eyes were red like a rabbits. People who saw her would feel pity. He didnt stay, but he brought you a lot of things. Auntie put it all in your room. Upon hearing her words, Lou Yao Yao immediately leapt up from the sofa. Behind her, Auntie Liu in a good mood called out to her humorously, Yao Yao, change your shoes! {People in China usually have a pair of indoor shoes that they wear inside the house} Lou Yao Yao stopped and hastily tore off her shoes and tossed them on the floor as if she were on fire. She went up the stairs barefoot. Lou Qing Qing was standing on the stairs. Seeing Lou Yao Yao, who hadnt even nced at her from start to finish,rush past her upstairs, she suddenly had a strange feeling. When they brushed past each other, it as if she didnt exist in Lou Yao Yaos world. She couldnt help but look in the direction of the housekeeper auntie who was currently in the process of putting Lou Yao Yaos shoes back in the shoe cab. She wasining about Lou Yao Yao with her mouth, but her tone was very doting. It was always like this. It was always like this! Her good, her efforts, they could never see it. But Lou Yao Yao who had never done anything, who was so arrogant and unruly that it would make people loathe her, they looked at her but didnt see her ws. They only saw her good points. Finally, Lou Qing Qing loosened her tightly clenched fist. She quietly went in a room to clean. She took hold of a mop to mop the floor. Afterpleting this, Lou Qing Qing went upstairs to her room. She and Lou Yao Yao both lived on the third floor. When she passed by Lou Yao Yaos room she stopped her steps. Her mood was mixed with all kinds of feelings when she saw this room. Once, she had also lived in this room, that dreamy room that made people unable to extricate themselves. Until, her rtionship with Lou Yao Yao was broken and Lou Yao Yao drove her away. These years, she would often dream about the past. That girl hiding behind her mother looking curiously at her. That girl who smiled widely at her and called her jiejie. That girl carried on her back who naively told her, Jiejie, I like you the most. They appeared in her dreams despite her wishes. Afterwards, when she woke up, she discovered that she had cried. No, that their rtionship had became like this, it wasnt her fault. She also wanted to be a good jiejie. It was Lou Yao Yaos envy that made everything shatter! Lou Yao Yao had no idea that there was someone outside her door, being the doorkeeper for a long time She was going through the things that Qin Zhi gave her, ted. Then she got out her cell phone. When she had reacted, she had already dialed his number. Before she could hang up, the other side had already quickly picked up.Hello, Yao Yao. Hello Lou Yao Yao originally thought she wouldnt know what to say, but after hearing that familiar gentle voice with a smile, her years of habit, already made her instinctively blurt out what she was thinking. Qin Zhi! Why didnt you wait for me! Lou Yao Yao felt in her heart. Ahhhhh! Obviously she had firmly resolved to change her obstinate image in Qin Zhis heart. How did her first words turn into a interrogation!? This deadly habit! Regarding Lou Yao Yao creating trouble then ming the victim, Qin Zhi was already used to it. Sorry, Yao Yao. I just came back today. Thepany still has some work left to process so I couldnt wait for you. ording to Lou Yao Yaos beforehand temper, she would definitely teach Qin Zhi a lesson, then seize the chance to force Qin Zhi to sign innumerable unequal pacts. Lou Yao Yao used lot of energy to force down the desire to take advantage of this opportunity to ckmail Qin Zhi. She made her tone as gentle as possible, Okay, I forgive you. Are at thepany right now? En. It is convenient for you to answer the phone right now? Lou Yao Yao who asked this sentence, didnt have a consciousness that cared if other people were inconvenienced. Yes, today is only handing over the business trip rted assignments. There is nothing important. These words made the employees in the conference room, waiting for the boss to follow-up, stare with big eyes. On the other side, Lou Yao Yao was already firing offints, Yourpany really isnt humane. You still have to work overtime in the weekend evening. Qin Zhi, who had called the employees over to work overtime during the weekend, answered without a hint of guilty conscience, Yes, it really isnt humane. Yao Yao, where did you go out today? Lou Yao Yao was lying down on the bed and answered while swinging her feet, I went out on a stroll. She naturally wouldnt say that she had gone to meet his ne but lost him because she was in a daze, that kind of stupid matter. Oh, so its like that Qin Zhis tone became somewhat pale, but Lou Yao Yao didnt notice. She thought of tomorrows n, Qin Zhi, do you have to go work tomorrow? He definitely had to, after all he even had to work overtime on weekend evening. There was no reason to give a holiday on Monday, thepany really was inhumane. He had obviously just returned from a business trip, but thepany went so far as to not give him any resting time. It seems that her n would copse. Qin became aware of the anticipation in Lou Yao Yaos tone, With more than dozen employees staring at him, their eyes like knives, Qin Zhi replied, I dont have to go work. Since I just returned from a business trip, thepany gave me two days of vacation. The employees raged inside their hearts: When did ourpany have the welfare of giving two days of break after going on a business trip?! Why dont we know about this?! When Lou Yao Yao heard that he didnt have to go to work, she immediately became very happy. She pondered over how she should say it. Because she was silent too long, he already asked, Yao Yao, do you have something nned tomorrow? Lou Yao Yao took a deep breath. She resolved to use her frankest tone to say her thoughts, Qin Zhi, lets go on a date tomorrow! Qin Zhi who had been prepared for all kinds of sudden urrences, but hadnt expected this, was shocked. He was silent for too long, to the extent that Lou Yao Yao asked, Qin Zhi, are you listening? Her tone was little annoyed and unhappy. Qin Zhi restrained his mood and got up from his chair and walked in front of the window, Im listening. Qin Zhi, lets go on a date tomorrow! On the other side, Lou Yao Yao used a very cautious tone to repeat that sentence. Qin Zhi held the phone with one hand and opened the window with the other. He looked down at the very dream-like city covered with bright lights. He said somewhat jokingly, Okay, I certainly have no objections. Im just afraid that youll stand me up. How could I! Lou Yao leapt up from the bed and shouted in excitement, Whoever I stand up, it definitely wont be you! Regarding this issue, Qin Zhi didnt take her seriously. Rather, he shifted the topic, Then what time do you want me to meet you. Lou Yao Yao thought a while and said, In the morning. Its agreed. You have toe! En, Qin Zhi ignored his best friend and partners ridiculing look and said, Then, Ill first hang up. Im still busy with something here. Okay. See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. When he determined that the other side had hung up, Qin Zhi closed his phone. This was Lou Yao Yaos demand. He couldnt ever hang up before her, because hanging up was her special authority. Ruan Si Nan folded his hands over his chest and leaned on the conference table. He mockingly said, Some people, despite knowing there is a pit in front of them, proceed with hesitation to jump in. Do you think these kinds of people are stupid? Qin Zhi didnt pay attention to him. Returning to the seat in the middle, he said, Todays meeting ends here. I hope that at Tuesday morning I can see a concrete proposal that can be implemented. All right, end the meeting. After finishing speaking, Qin Zhi didnt change expressions at the looks of resentment on his employees faces and went out of the conference room. Everyone looked at the vice-president. Ruan Si Nan shrugged, Tut tut, what are looking at me so resentfully for? It wasnt me that made you work overtime. What? You dont want to go? Thats all right. Well keep on working. If we dont fight until dawn, no one can leave. Hearing that, the group of employeespletely scattered like birds in flight. Ruan Si Nan stopped a young assistant who wanted to flee and grabbed her shoulder. He teasingly said, Young assistant, seeing you worked hard today, second boss will treat you to a meal. The young assistant endured the humiliation and suppressed the urge to p him. For this generous sry, she would endure. In the final analysis, she was only a recent graduate. Being a assistant to the general manager, this was the only ce with such a good job. Although she was doing two jobs, not only did she have to work hard for big boss, she had to endure second bosss sexual harassment. Ruan Si Nan patted secretary Zhou Yun Ruis shoulder. She had been left waiting for Qin Zhi in the conference room. Junior, you can get off work now. You dont have toe to work tomorrow, either. Your boss saw that you worked so hard, so he gave you a day of break. You need to try harder. If you cant grasp such a great opportunity, it seems that I can only recruit someone else. However, Zhuo Yun Rui had already ordered food. Why did boss who originally seemed like he was going to work untilte at night, after a while, vanish? Listening to Ruan Si Nan teasing words, Zhuo Yun Rui pretended not to understand. She overtook one of the employees inside conference and asked for a long time. Then she finally understood that, originally, boss had a date tomorrow, so even this meeting was abandoned. It was that woman again! Zhuo Yun Rui clearly understood her own goal. Seeing the recruitment notice for female employees, she knew her opportunity came. Relying on her rtionship with the vice-president as former schoolmates, she triumphed over all the other job applicants. After winning this position, it was different from her expectations, the boss wasnt a lecher. He even ignorant of the scheme. It was all the vice-presidents plot. But so what? Her goal absolutely wouldnt change. Besides, she still had the vice-president as a powerful backer. Even though she was fully aware that the vice-president was making use of her, in order to achieve her goal, she could ignore everything else. It was just that it was very difficult to surmount Lou Yao Yao this mountain in front of her. The big mountain Lou Yao Yao didnt know there was someone who wanted to surmount her. After calling Qin Zhi, she was immersed in excitement. In fact, it seemed that though she had never had a appointment with someone before. What should she do? As for the afternoons mishap, she quickly forgot about it. She, Lou Yao Yao, wasnt woman that would never give up. The word give up didnt exist in her dictionary. If something she wanted wasnt hers, then she would snatch it. Was the number of things that she had snatched over these years small? Which thing had she not been able to get? Even Chen Hao, that dregs male, in the end, hadnt she snatched him? In this world, there wasnt anything that she couldnt snatch! Most importantly, when thinking that Qin Zhi was someone elses, she felt as though the world was filled with despair. Because, Qin Zhi made her feel as though she was not without merit. She hadnt been knocked down by despair, at least there was still someone willing to love her. No one knew, in that ck nightmare, how much despair she had been in. Returning back 7 years, it seemed that though nothing in the past could harm her. Actually, her self-confidence, her uncaringness, her new life, everything was because that person had supported her. It was okay even if she was loathed, she must live by Qin Zhis side even if she was being totally shameless. She would never waver. Nobody better think that they could rob him from her hand! All the women with impure intentions wouldpletely be driven out. Even if Qin Zhi didnt have any feelings towards her, if he couldnt choose anyone else, he would only be able to see her. If it was anyone else, she probably wouldnt do anything like this. However, towards Qin Zhi, she had an inexplicable confidence in her heart. Also, it seemed that she had the precedent of driving away all other females by Qin Zhis side. She even suspected, if Qin Zhi hadnt deceived her and he really did love her at that time, would it be because he basically had no other choice than loving her? Haaa, if this theory was true, then didnt Qin Zhi have a masochistic tendency? In any case, no matter what...... the date was first! Her feelings towards Qin Zhi were based on cant lose it. Whether or not there was actually love, she hadnt determined yet. But if there was no love, then she could develop feelings. After all, she had been prepared to rely on the other party for a lifetime. Besides, if she changed too much and scared Qin Zhi away, that wouldnt be good. They both needed to adapt. Slowly, bit by bit, she would change. One day, Qin Zhi would discover her regard for him. Before sleeping, Lou Yao Yao send Qin Zhi a SMS saying good night. After receiving a reply, Lou Yao Yao climbed into bed, satisfied. Seeing the light in the room go out with only a little bit of dim light left, the green light from his cell phone screen obscured his face. He stared nkly at the window for a while. Qin Zhi then closed his phone and silently started his car. Chapter 7 - [Two Razor Knives] Chapter 7 [Two Razor Knives] The next day, when Qin Zhi arrived, Lou Yao Yao was still sleeping. Auntie Liu pulled her up from the bed. She saw Qin Zhi eating breakfast with her parents and ignored Lou Qing Qing. Unconsciously, Lou Yao Yao slowed down and stepped lightly. Suddenly, she thought that this moment was very quiet. It was so quiet that she could hear her heart beating faster and faster. Her vision was the same as if had been handled by a movie effects designer. Her parents faces were blurred like the background. Lou Qing Qings face was blurred with mosaics. Only Qin Zhis face was in high definition. A 25 year old man had just stepped onto the phase of maturity. Men before 25 years still had the vestiges of naivety left. At that age, they are energetic but often get carried away. Their own feelings were the most important. Men over thirty were too sophisticated. Although they had experienced a great deal of hardships, perhaps they already understood how to treasure a woman. But they didnt have much youthful fervour left. Their feelings had mainly stabilized. But being just this age was good. There was still some passion and fervour remaining from youthful days. They could begin to understand how to treasure a woman. No matter if it was love or marriage, both were their first priority. If before 25 years old was the growth period of men, then from 25 till 30 was the time where mens character was set. Therefore, thats what people were. In short, men at this time were like a slowly ripening fruit. They were at their most attractive time. Their each and every move carried an attraction that was difficult to put in words. Qin Zhi had put on a blue shirt today. His shirt sleeves were rolled up his arms. Only two buttons on his cor were buttoned, revealing part of his corbone. To Lou Yao Yaos eyes, every movement of Qin Zhis head, every time he raised his hand, was full of allure. Perhaps it was because the two of them knew each other too well, those changes that had umted over time had been overlooked. In her memory, Qin Zhi seemed to have skipped over the growing period. Suddenly, he had grown up. In thest moment he was still the little gege who lead a group of buddies to hit people until they were badly bruised. In the next moment, he had already turned into a cold and gloomy business elite. Lou Yao Yao suddenly felt a sense of loss because she had missed all it. Her eyes felt astringent. She wanted to cry a little. Yao Yao, He raised his head to see her standing on the staircase. He was slightly surprised, then grinned at her. Lou Yao Yao blinked at him, then blinked away her tears. Their familiarity with each other had already prated to their bone marrow. Actually, there was no uneasiness. There were alsoints ingrained in their bones, Qin Zhi. Why did youe so early? Fang Xi Lei heard her words, and frowned, Yao Yao, how can you be so impolite? She also looked at Qin Zhi somewhat apologetically. Qin Zhis expression had no change. He even smiled toward Fang Xi Lei, showing that he didnt mind. Lou Yao Yao was taught bewilderedly. She felt wronged and nced towards her mother. Then she said to Qin Zhi, You only just arrived yesterday. Why didnt you rest a little bit more? How could youe so early? It definitely isnt good for your health. Its my fault. If I had realized this earlier, then we could have met in the afternoon. The people who were already expecting for Lou Yao Yao toin to Qin Zhi that he came too early and harmed her to not be able to sleep in were all a bit stunned. It was very unusual. In the past when meeting Qin Zhi, when had she not woken up veryte? Even when she finally climbed out of bed, she stillined about Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi still managed to replied quickly, No problem, I already slept on the ne yesterday. Moreover, I havent seen uncle and auntie in a long time. Only if Ie early, can I catch uncle and auntie before they go to work and chat a while. Lou Yao Yao saw that hisplexion looked very good without any signs of exhaustion. She took it to be true and didnt pursue this line of questioning. She thought she was a little hungry so she went to the kitchen to pester the aunties to make breakfast. After she left, Lou Qing Qing who had been continuously lowering her head to silently eat breakfast asked Qin Zhi, Qin Zhi gege, you want to go out today. Since Lou Qing Qings father was on the scene, Qin Zhi politely replied, En. But, isnt Yao Yao already going to out today......... When Lou Yao Yao came out, she saw Lou Qing Qing speaking with Qin Zhi. Her heart was full of anger. She deliberately pulled out a chair, making a ear-piercing nose. She sat down and blocked Lou Qing Qings line of sight so that Lou Qing Qing could only see the back of her head, Auntie is baking egg tarts. Do want to eat a little more? Okay. Qin Zhi naturally didnt refuse, although he was already full. But he showed absolutely no interest in what Lou Qing Qing was going to say afterwards. Lou Qing Qing grinded her teeth, and lowered her head to eat breakfast. She who was always a good student, unexpectedly hadnt gone to ss today. Also what she was wearing wasnt as in as before. She had changed into a exquisite white skirt and her hair was also down, softly hanging on her shoulder. Fang Xi Leis attitude toward Qin Zhi wasnt too intimate. There was more of a mothers examination and observation. She asked a few questions about his parents recent situation and was concerned about his recently startedpany situation. She didnt say much, then she went off to work. Lou Yuanzhis attitude toward Qin Zhi was somewhat cold. Actually, he was cold towards everyone except Lou Qing Qing. In this persons bones, there was an inexplicable feeling of superiority. It was ridiculous and pitiful. After eating breakfast, Lou Yao Yao dragged Qin Zhi to the garage. Seeing the bicycle in the corner, Qin Zhi had a few doubts. Lou Yao Yao excitedly asked him, How is it? Can this bike be ridden? When Lou Yao Yao went upstairte yesterday night she thought she seemed to have a big adverse reaction to riding cars. Tomorrow, she had a appointment, if she rode a car then she would be half dead. That would be too disappointing. Sote at night, she stole off to the garage to find this bicycle. To be carried by ones beloved person, at any age, would be a romantic and fortunate thing. However, after Qin Zhi had graduated from university, she had never been carried again. These years, she had ridden in many luxury cars, but the most fondly remembered time was the time when she sat in the backseat of a bicycle, feeling the breeze. It was a free and rxing feeling. Besides, to just arrive at ones destination, it would affect the mood of the date. Ill look, Qin Zhi crouched down and looked at the bicycle. The body of the bicycle had already been cleaned and tires had also been pumped by Lou Yao Yao. He tried the pedal and pinched the wheel tires. He found the bicycle pump and pumped the tires once more, then said to Lou Yao Yao, Try sitting on it. Lou Yao Yao obediently sat in the back. Qin Zhi sat on the front seat. He pedaled twice. The tires sticity was very good; it didnt leak any air. However, it had been put away for many years, how long the bicycle wouldst was impossible to tell. How is it? How is it? Lou Yao Yao hugged his waist and excitedly asked from behind. Qin Zhi got down from the bicycle and looked at Lou Yao Yao, It can still be used. Then lets use this bicycle to go out today, okay? Lou Yao Yaos eyes were very big. When she intentionally opened her eyes wide at someone, sometimes it was frightening. However, this time, you could clearly see yourself in her eyes. It gave one the illusion that she was very dedicated towards you. She looked at Qin Zhi like this. For a moment, he was absent minded, only when Lou Yao Yao asked again did he recover. He smiled and nodded. Lets go out quickly. In a while, it will be very hot. Qin Zhi naturally had no objections. He went out to park his car in Lou Yao Yaos garage. Lou Yao Yao pushed the bicycle out of the garage and waited outside for him. Lou Yao Yao leaned on the bicycle and looked in the direction of the garage to wait for Qin Zhi. She unexpectedly heard someone call out to her, Yao Yao. That voice made people feel it was a spring breeze. Before, she had been aware of the the breeze from a car driving past and the sound of the car braking. She hadnt cared. In thismunity, which family didnt have a car. She hadnt thought that the cars owner would be familiar with her. She looked back strangely. She saw the person who she didnt want to see the most in this life, Chen Hao. Chen Hao saw her look back. His look was gentle with a little bit guilt, Ive made you wait for a long time, Yao Yao. Im sorry. Its because I promised to pick up Lin Fei first so I waste. Lou Yao Yao basically had no idea what he was talking about. Her previous good spirits waspletely gone. She looked at him coldy and replied, What are you here for? Lou Yao Yao, wasnt it you who asked him to pick you up? Who are you pretending for? Lou Yao Yao looked at the woman sitting in the passenger seat of the car, bewildered. She saw that Lou Yao Yao was looking at her and coldly turned away. It was evident that she loathed Lou Yao Yao. Lin Fei, how can speak like to Yao Yao. Chen Haos smiling face receded. The feeling of protection was obvious. This sentence seemed to enrage Lin Fei. She opened the car door and mmed it shut forcefully. She said angrily, Chen Hao, Make it clear, who is actually your girlfriend!!! This woman was very beautiful, a morbid beauty. Her personality was very rude and unreasonable. Chen Hao looked helplessly at Lin Fei and then looked at Lou Yao Yao. He seemed very awkward, Lin Fei, Ive said many times that Yao Yao is only my junior. Junior! Do you dare say she doesnt have any intention towards you!!! Lou Yao Yao leaned on the bicycle and looked coldly at the two people. This kind of childish scene already didnt make her feel anything. This y, they were still working hard to perform, but she already had retreated behind the scenes secretly. It was well-known that Chen Hao had a childhood sweetheart. Although Chen Hao didnt like her, this girls health wasnt good. She was always attempting suicide. Thus, Chen Hao had toply to be her boyfriend. Everyone could very clearly see his helplessness. So, even though he rejected Lou Yao Yao, Lou Yao Yao always thought his feelings towards her were different from his feelings toward other people. He never rejected her being near him. His expression when looking at her was different than when looking at others. Even when she quarrelled with Lin Fei, he always protected her. Now looking at all of this, it looked like a joke. Actually, he was the same towards every single girl, so gentle that it would let people be addicted. Actually, he, Chen Hao, was proud of himself watching a group of women fight for him. The feeling helpless him was definitely was contented with himself. The reason that Lou Qing Qing and she had been treated specially, was probably because they were a pair of sisters. Perhaps, this let Chen Hao feel a morbid state of achievement. Chen Hao, this person, using the hypothesis from several yearster had Wangzi Bing. From when he was small, he fantasized that he was a prince. After he grew up, he really though he was a prince. This sickness must be treated. It was pity that Lin Feis life was so short. Otherwise, this woman, who frequently cut her wrists and swallowed sleeping pills, could be with Chen Hao who fantasized that all women liked him, this mentally ill person, forever. It was also a pretty good ending. Thinking about all the kinds of things that happened in the past, Lou Yao Yaos heart was like there was a raging beast inside. A ck shadow shrouded her. There was a strong desire to erupt. Suddenly there was a person who gently held her hand. He gently but with strength, pried opened up her hands. Her fingernails had been digging into her flesh. His palm was very warm. It seemed to disperse all the coldness in her heart. Lets go, Even thought it was a statement, it contained several points of inquiry and uncertainty. Lou Yao Yao looked up at him. He was also looking down at her. Facing him, Lou Yao Yao showed a smiling face and nodded, En, Lets go out. They ignored the other people and got on the bicycle, passing by Chen Hao and Lin Fei. Lou Qing Qing who had been standing, waiting in the doorway, finally showed some movement. She pursued them calling in a loud voice, Yao Yao, arent you going to Chen Haos birthday party? Lou Yao Yao was taken aback. She finally remembered that today was Chen Haos birthday. No wonder Chen Hao would lead Lin Fei to make her feel stifled early in the morning. This wasnt her fault. Although, she knew Chen Haos birthday wasing, they liked to celebrate the lunar birthday. The date changed every single year. Who would be able to remember the date seven years ago. But.......If she had forgotten, then she had forgotten, it was already no longer important. Lou Yao Yao didnt pay attention to Lou Qing Qing. She firmly embraced Qin Zhis waist and leaned her face on his back. She felt his steady heartbeat. She closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt very relieved. For the rest of her life, she was content to be with this person. Lou Qing Qing, when you no longer make me envy crazily, when Chen Hao no longer brings me suffering, without these two sharp des, you, what can you still use to harm me? Lou Qing Qing, when the two beautiful sisters has been short of one, the power is also cut in half. Without me, such a vicious woman, to set off your, the pure womans good-heartedness, Chen Hao, would he still have liking for you? Lets wait and see. A bicycle naturally wasnt as fast as a car. Even though, Chen Hao and the other two wasted some time, they still quickly overtook Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi. Near the road, Lou Yao Yao poked Qin Zhis back. Qin Zhi helplessly said something to her. One of his hands held onto the bicycle, the other hand moved her hand away. Since her hand was taken away, she used her other hand to keep on poking him. They were having fun. Finally Qin Zhi had to use his hand to skillfully trap both of Lou Yao Yaos hands in front of him. Lou Yao Yao scratched his palm and tickled his belly. That pink womans bike steered by Qin Zhi went forwards, crookedly. People who saw it would want tough. The moment in which they brushed past each other was enough to let the three people in the car hear Lou Yao Yaough. Theugh contained a little girls unique taste; it was willful and open. From beginning to end, the two people didnt even nce at them. It was like they had agreed on it beforehand. Chen Hao continuously looked at the reflector, until it wasnt possible to see those two peoples form again. Chapter 8 - [Can’t Walk Out] Chapter 8 [Cant Walk Out] Before Lou Yao Yao went to middle school, she always lived in her maternal grandmothers house. To say that her maternal grandfather brought her up wouldnt too excessive. The Fang ancestors were in the silk business. After hundreds of years, the family moved down. They had gone through prosperous times and been in dire straits until they reached Lou Yao Yaos grandfathers generation. In his generation he was the only scion of the family left. Old people especially long for the past. They were not used to the tall high-rise buildings nor did they like the foreign vis. Until his death, maternal grandfather had always lived in the Old Town in a SiHeYuan {a courtyard house, type of Chinese residence}. Most of the the houses in Old Town were green brick and tile houses. Old Town could not be said as luxurious or possessing an imposing style. However, it did have the ancient charm that only old houses had. The people who lived here were also old people who were nostalgic for the past. When the city started development, Old Town was the first ce that was to be torn down, but the overseers were unable to endure the old people threatening death. Furthermore, the people who lived there, if they hadnt been in business for generations, then they had engaged in cultural activities. War hadnt made them fall. Neither had revolutions. Now, they naturally could not fall now. Luckily, the developers finally left go of Old Town. Nowadays, Old Town was a well-known cultural preservations district. Lou Yao Yaos favorite thing to do when she was younger was to go to each and every house and family with her maternal grandfather. Her mouth was sweet and coquettish. She coaxed all those old people into wishing they could treasure her in the palm of their hands. Whether in eating or ying, they were lenient with her. At that time, Qin Zhi was the king of the children in Old Town. His courage was big. He fought viciously. He was practicallywless. Until he met his natural enemyLou Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao pretended to be clever in front of the adults, but actually did many things behind their back. It had be famous. The number of times that people came to her school entrance to threaten to beat her up wasnt just two or three times. The boys in the Old Town helped her fight. They were at the front and were badly bruised. She was with the girls behind the boys, with her hands on her hips, trading insults with them. When she was tired of scolding, she would p her hands and go home to eat dinner, leaving a ce filled with wounded soldiers. Afterwards, when people saw her they would flee. The person who wanted to hide the most was actually Qin Zhi. However he couldnt. His paternal grandfather and Lou Yao Yaos grandfather were best friends. Lou Yao Yao was also aining expert. In his childhood and youth, he was brutally devastated by her. After being tormented for so long, he resigned himself to it. At that time, he was the beck and call of Lou Yao Yao. He was the little gege who was full ofints he couldnt voice them. Qin Zhi was forced to circle half of the small town by Lou Yao Yao. They returned to Old Town. The worlds development was too fast. They had to adapt. They had to move forwards. There was no time to look back and one would forget to look back. Thatpounds tall wall that seemed to have no end, now was only a square centimeter. One only needed to stand in a slightly tall area, and one could look at the end of it. Qin Zhi pushed the bike with Lou Yao Yao on it around Old Towns river. With the demise of the older generation, the younger generation left this ce in search of wider skies. All the people on the road were tourists or possibly a drama team filming a period drama. On the street corners were a few booths selling unique snacks or vintage jewelry and clothing. They asionally met a familiar face from the past, yet there were only casual hellos. Afterwards, they turned around to leave. Neither warmth nor intimacy was there. The vour from the past was gone. Qin Zhi asked Lou Yao Yao if she wanted go to the house to look. Lou Yao Yao shook her head and refused. She was like a child who threw away a treasure. Afterwards, one day, she remembered it. Finally after finding it, she discovered she wasnt the only one who lost the treasure. However, the other people didnt want to find the treasure. Lou Yao Yao thought she suddenly understood a little of the those old peoples hearts. This let Lou Yao Yaos mood be a little stuffy. At noon they ate a few kinds of fine and beautiful food. However, the vor was more like unauthentic unique pastries and snacks. She was like a person who was reminiscing. She was stepping on the footprints that she left in the past. She searching for the past. Everything she thought she had forgotten slowly came back. It was as clear as if it had all happened yesterday. Qin Zhi was holding Lou Yao Yaos hand. They were slowly walking, like they used to many years ago. In the past, she was veryzy. Whenever she walked, it was like she didnt have any bones. She always dawdled. She always wanted him to pull her. Everytime they were going back to Old Town from school it was like dragging an old, rampaging cow. Everytime he was so tired that he was half dead. He would angrily scold her, Troublesome essence! Nuisance! She would sit on the ground and refuse to walk. No matter if he was so anxious that he stamped his feet, she wouldnt get up even if she died. In the end, he had to ept his fate and shoulder this troublesome essence. Afterwards, she would pull at his ear in self-satisfaction and yell,Who is the troublesome essence! I am the troublesome essence! Who is the nuisance!? I am the nuisance! The rest of the kids in Old Town wouldugh at him for having no backbone. The kids mocked them by echoing and modelling their actions. At this time, he would put her down, overtake them and hit them. The group of little devils would cry father and yell mother. Behind him, she wouldugh and cheer him on. After hitting them, he still had to go home with this troublesome essence on his back. Lou Yao Yao smiled after thinking of this. Qin Zhi asked her what she was smiling about. She didnt reply, but continuously looked at him and smiled. Qin Zhi didnt care. He just helplessly looked at her. She smiled. Then, she cried. She was very strong in the past. She wouldnt cry even if she quarrelled or fought with people. Even if she was defeated miserably, she was like an arrogant queen. Actually, from when she was very small, she could see peoples attitudes toward her. Her father didnt like her. She also never acted like a spoiled child towards him. Whoever loathed her, whoever was tired of her, she pretended not to care. Afterwards, she wouldnt approach them again. She rarely cried in front of people because she knew even though she cried, those people wouldnt care. The people who cared about her and the people who didnt care about her, she had originally been clear about it in her heart a long time ago. Envy makes people crazy. Because of envy, she had be someone she didnt know. It was like she was having a very very long nightmare. Suddenly, one day she woke up. She inexplicably cried. Qin Zhe was scared. He hurriedly found a tissue to help her wipe her eyes. Her tears kept on falling; he kept on wiping endlessly. It wasnt like in the past. Before, when she cried, he wouldin Girls are so much trouble while crudely using his sleeve to wipe off her tears. Afterwards, they slowly drifted apart. Unless, there was a troublesome matter, she wouldnt think to go find him. But now, when he was lowering his head, his expression was very dedicated and very earnest. His action of wiping of her tears with the tissue was also very gentle and soft. He softly absorbed those falling tears with the tissue. It seemed that he was probably afraid of hurting her. He had changed. He had became so strange. She asked him, What to do? I cant walk out. He was moving forward. They were all moving forward. Only she was looking back. Only she was standing still. She was reluctant to leave everything in the past. She was immersed inside those memories. She couldnt walk nor was she willing to leave. Only, he kept on walking further. Finally one day, she wouldnt be able to see him again. The reason her overbearingness and inability to reason with became famous was actually because she was a coward. She was afraid of rejection so she was overbearing. She was afraid to lose so she resorted to all means............ In the final analysis, she had no confidence. But unfortunately, she also wasnt very intelligent. She was fooled by people every time. Qin Zhi stopped for a moment. He looked at pair of eyes that were filled with sorrow. He unhurriedly lowered his head to continue wiping her tears. His voice was soft, almost like it didnt exist, Its all right. I will apany you. Lou Yao Yaos eyespletely filled with tears. She wasnt able to see his expression clearly, but her heart was calmed down by his words. Lou Yao Yao cried very quickly. She also very quickly kept on walking. Before long, she pulled Qin Zhi along to stroll. It seemed as if she had not just cried. Qin Zhi also avoided discussing the topic. They went to the school they once attended. Lou Yao Yao incessantly kept on talking on the way. It was mostly amusing things that had happened in the past. Qin Zhi asionally echoed her. Most of the time, he was simply silently listening. After removing a youths impatience, his personality was even more calm. It was even a little taciturn. At the barbecue stall in front of the school entrance, Lou Yao Yao ordered one of each kind of MaLaTang. But, she only ate one. The rest went in Qin Zhis mouth. Finally, other than a bowl of hot and sour noodles, Lou Yao Yao didnt eat a lot. But ,Qin Zhi ate until he was stuffed. The food here wasnt the most delicious nor was its quantity the greatest. However, this was absolutely the ce where eating had the most feeling. Nowhere else couldpare.{Link to see MaLaTang} It was time for school to end. The students started to file out. A long line of cars appeared on the road one after the another. The pink bicycle that with Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yao on it was mixed in with the group of students. It was like a a crane in a flock of chickens {way above themon} . A male student said to a female student, Haha, that man is pretty foolish. The female student pped him, Youre foolish. Despite the strange looks from the students, Lou Yao Yao was overjoyed. Qin Zhis face was ck. He tried to ignore the sound of the students discussions and Lou Yao Yaosughter as much as possible. When she had finished ridiculing him, Lou Yao Yao made Qin Zhi send them to the movie center. Although she had only done half of what she had wanted to do with Qin Zhi in the town, she hadnt forgotten that she hade to have a date with Qin Zhi. Something every date must have waswatching a movie. Today, there were several blockbuster showing; however, Lou Yao Yao had already watched them. Naturally, she wasnt interested in watching them again. Qin Zhi went along with her in everything. It took them a long time to decide what to watch. Eventually, they choose a rtively unknown literary romance film. The plot was very simple: In the time of the Republic of China, a young couple were unable to be together for various reasons. They experienced misunderstandings and mutually injured each other. After going through pain and resentment, they were finally happy and walked together. The actors acted very well. Their actions and expressions were also very moving. It was a good romantic movie. When watching the movie, the mood of the girls in the movie theater, fluctuate up and down along with the plot. However, in contrast, ruining the mood, once in a while there were kadakada chewing sounds. In the sad parts, when everyones tears were falling, there was a pupupu sound. {sound of escapingughter} After being red at again, Lou Yao Yao bit into a a hamburger and looked innocently at Qin Zhi, Dont you think its really funny? Qin Zhi totally ignored her. Only she couldugh when a group of women were crying their eyes out. Actually, you couldnt me Lou Yao Yao for this. Using a seven yearster perspective, this ys plot was too pale and the dialogue was way too hrious. Sheined to various gods. Unfortunately, even if she said the reasons for herughter, other people wouldnt be able toprehend them. Lou Yao Yao also didnt want tough, but she was unable to bear it. After seeing the ending, Lou Yao Yaos expression had a change. On the ck and white screen, the figure of the male and female leads when they were young emerged. He was carrying her through a peach forest where the peach blossoms were in full bloom. In the next scene, they were both old. His feet was no longer nimble. He wasnt able to cycle any more. So she carried him. Passing by the ce where peach forest formerly was, the peach blossoms were no longer remained nor did the peach forest. Only the old them remained. The old couple smiled, hand in handThe End. Going out of the movie theater, many people were silent. Lou Yao Yao was no exception. Qin Zhi retrieved the parked bike. Lou Yao Yao sat and hugged his waist. Qin Zhi, right now you are carrying me. When you are unable to walk, Ill carry you. Qin Zhi was amused by her, Why not now? However, at that time, you wont be able to carry me. Lou Yao Yao twisted the flesh on his waist, Are you asking for a fight? Youre an idiot. Whether or not I can carry you is of secondary importance. The important thing is my regard for you. My regard! Do you understand!? Okay. Okay. Okay. Whatever you say is right. He thought she was just being unreasonable again. Lou Yao Yao was very angry, but she didnt n to continue speaking about this topic. Therefore, she used all her strength to twist his flesh. However, her little bit was strength wasnt enough to hurt him. Lou Yao Yao twisted for a long time, but saw he had no response. So she changed from twisting to tickling. Qin Zhi wasnt afraid of anything else, but he was afraid of tickling. Stop it. Im riding a bike. Lou Yao Yao naturally didnt listen and continue to tickle him. Lou Yao Yao, Im going get angry. Haha, go ahead and get angry. Be angry. Its just a paper tigers anger. Im not at all afraid. Come, meow for me. Lou Yao Yao! The two peopleughed as they made their way to the hermunity. When they arrived at themunity door, Lou Yao Yao didnt want to part so quickly. Therefore, she made Qin Zhi stop at the door. The two people walked back with Qin Zhi naturally holding her hand. The two people didnt think there was anything wrong with this. It had be a custom that had prated to their bones from the time when Qin Zhi pulled her hand when she had a runny nose with mucus hanging down. Lou Yao Yao opened his hand and intertwined her finger with his. She looked straightforward, pretending not to see his suspicious look. Lou Yao Yao was afraid so she didnt dare speak. Qin Zhi also didnt speak. However, Lou Yao Yao could feel that he had been continuously looking at her. The night was very quiet. The two people were silent, but they didnt feel ufortable. Lou Yao Yao even felt her heart was a little indistinctly leaping for joy. However long a road was, it had toe to an end sometime. Despite knowing clearly that there were many days in the future. Despite knowing that there were many times they could see each other. Lou Yao Yao felt that she was reluctant to part. But Qin Zhi didnt live in thismunity. Themunity he was living in was very far from here. It wasnt good for Lou Yao Yao to continuously keep him here and not let him go home. Qin Zhi started his car and leaned his face towards her. She leaned over and kissed his cheek. Then she turned her face to the side, Good night. Good night. His expression was a little helpless, but his eyes contained a smile. Lou Yao Yao who obtained a good night kiss wanted to watch him leave. But Qin Zhi used his actions to represent his meaning. If she didnt go in, he wouldnt leave. In the end, Lou Yao Yaopromised. She walked a few steps, then suddenly ran back, Qin Zhi. En. If you hate me, you have to tell me. Okay. Her tone and expression showed that she was being serious. Qin Zhis happy expression didnt change. He didnt show a tiny bit of curiosity on his face nor did he ask her why. He just agreed earnestly like every single time she had been unreasonable in the past. Lou Yao Yao stood in the room and watched Qin Zhis car leave. Qin Zhi. Even if I am scared. Even if I am rejected. I wont give up. Even if, the conclusion...........is that you hate me. Only, if........you hate, please tell me. That way, although I still wont give up. But I do my utmost to let you hate me just a little less. Chapter 9 - Friends Chapter 9 Friends Compared to Lou Yao Yao who was pleased with her date, Luo Qing Qings was simply a tragic sight. Not even mentioning when she returned homete at night she had a head of shiny ck hair that was full of cream, when Lou Yao Yao saw her today morning, her left cheek was still swollen. On her corbone, one could faintly see several terrible scratches. Regarding this situation, Lou Yao Yao rejoiced in other peoples misfortunes a little. If she was said to be arrogant and unreasonable, then Lin Feis reputation in their circle was something even she had to look up tolunatic! In the previous lifetime, Lou Yao Yao was in front going against Lin Fei. All of Lin Feis resentment shed against Lou Yao Yao. However, other than her mother as a backing, Lou Yao Yao had that group of childhood friends represented by Qin Zhi. Lin Fei still had a little intelligence. Although, she was angry enough to die, she didnt dare do anything too excessive. However, she could obstruct Lou Yao Yao with petty tricks. People say when beating a dog, one must look at its master. As long as she, Lou Yao Yao, was there, it was Lou Qing Qings best backing. Although, she didnt wish for it, as long as Lou Qing Qing remained in this family, she was under her wing of protection. But this time, without Lou Yao Yao to draw the fire, ording to Lin Feis personality, how could Lou Qing Qing have a good end? Just by looking at Lou Qing Qings current distress, one could imagine how miserable she was yesterday. Sitting in the car her mother was driving, Lou Yao Yao unkindly thought that without her participation, she didnt know how splendid the y with the three people Chen Hao, Lou Qing Qing, and Lin Fei would be? However, no matter how splendid, it had nothing to do with her. Of course, she could watch for fun. Perhaps it was rted to the person driving, sitting in the car her mother was driving, Lou Yao Yao didnt feel unwell at all. Conversely, she felt at ease. Fang Xi Lei was a very strict person. She didnt have much of a females softness within her. Other than at dinner parties, in her day-today life she never wore skirts. Her hair just came to her ears. Her pair of phoenix eyes were exceptionally fierce and severe. She was a severe, old-fashioned woman. When she drove, she didnt chat. It could be said she was fully concentrated on driving. Before, Lou Yao Yao didnt like her mother. Other people by her side spoiled and pampered her. When facing her alway icy faced mother she always felt depressed. However, blood is thicker than water. Fang Xi Lei didnt not love her. It was just that her love was too forbearing. Before, Lou Yao Yao was baffled as to why parents who were only children didnt give birth to another child. {If you dont understand. Look up China One Child Policy}. Afterwards, she knew why. It wasnt that she couldnt give birth, but Fang Xi Lei didnt want to. As for whose sake it was, it goes without saying. Actually, in herst lifetime, that she would have such an ending, it had a lot to do with Fang Xi Lei. This woman had too much arrogance in her bones. The education she received made her continuously frank and upright. She scorned those despicable methods. Regarding those twisted and curved, cunning plots, she knew very little. She didnt drive out Lou Qing Qing nor did she maltreat her. Except for the guilty conscience for breaking up other peoples happy union, she disdained to use these kinds of methods. As for her daughters choices, she didnt interfere much because she respected her daughter. When she was young, she was once a rebel. But her father taught her that everyone, whether their age was big or small, had to pay for their decisions. Unfortunately, Fang Xi Lei miscalcted. The route that Lou Yao Yao chose exceeded the scope of what she could bear. Understanding her mothers love towards her, Lou Yao Yao was much more intimate to her these days. She asionally disyed a little temperament and acted like a spoiled child to her mother. This let Fang Xi Lei feel a little strange, but she didnt think it was annoying. Actually, in this world, what parent would hate their child acting coquettishly toward them? Today she sent Lou Yao Yao to school because Lou Yao Yao entangled her until she had no choice but to agree. She, who was previously neverte and always early, unexpectedly made an exception for Lou Yao Yao. Lou Yuanzhi and Lou Qing Qing thought it was inconvievable. On the contrary, the two aunties full of joy when they saw it. However, there was something disappointing. It wasnt just Lou Yao Yao and Fang Xi Lei in the car. Lou Qing Qing was also there. After sending off her daughter, Fang Xi Lei frantically hurried to thepany. This made Lou Yao Yao speechless. Lou Yao Yao had mixed feelings while walking in the school while carrying her backpack. She was studying administration in a business university. As a fine arts students who doesnt love learning and takes shortcuts, to be able to test into this university, she had spend a great deal of energy. In senior year, she grabbed onto Qin Zhi so he would tutor her. Both Qin Zhi and she lost weight for it. Originally, she should have studied fashion design. Although choosing studying administration in order to take over her mothers industry in the future would be the best, her personality basically wasnt suitable for it. She had an active personality. She didnt like studying. She couldnt eat bitterness {In China, bitterness also means the hardships of life}. Listening to the teacher lecture was the same as listening to mumbo-jumbo. Retaking an exam was very normal for her. After studying design, being able to understand those design drafts was already good. No one really expected her to be able to administer her familyspany well. Certainly, at that time, she wouldnt care about these things. The reason she was so dead-set to go to this university was because Chen Hao went here. Lou Qing Qing also went to this university. However, what she chose to study was finance and economics. Lou Yao Yao didnt remember what she studied in university. Her deepest impression was retaking exams. After graduating, she worked as her mothers assistant. Whether she went to work or not depended on her mood. She simply the model of someone who did not attend to their proper duties. Naturally, since she returned, she wouldnt waste her youth again. Regardless of whether she could understand it, she would carefully listen to the sses. Because, after graduating she wanted to help mother by sharing her burden and relieve the pressure on her a little. Then, when she had timeter, she could go over to arts faculty and attend the design ss. There was fashion designing sses over there. It was better than nothing. As for her art skills, there was no need to be worried. She still had her foundation and she wasnt trying to be an artist. If she could draw an design draft, it was good enough. In her head, she had several design drawings from a few yearster. She just had to legitimately study, then she could draw them. Lou Yao Yao walked in front with Lou Qing Qing following behind her. Acquaintances that they encountered on the road all looked withpassion at Lou Qin Qing. Lou Yao Yao didnt have any feelings toward this. Being misunderstood, she was already used to it a long time ago. In the past, those misunderstandings always made her feel sad and angry, but now? She didnt care about the thoughts of irrelevant people. Once they left this campus, it was possible they would never see each other again in this lifetime. Bing angry? Was it necessary? The two people were in different faculties. Once they arrived at a crossroads, they parted ways. Lou Yao Yao didnt go directly to the ssroom, but went to the dormitory to get her books. Although she had graduated for many years, these buildings hadnt changed. She didnt get lost and found her dormitory very quickly. A rush of fragrance assailed her nose. Lou Yao Yao knitted her brows. She was very familiar with this fragrance. It was the body wash that she often used. Just that how much of this body wash did one have to use for there to be such a strong smell when she opened the door. ncing at the closed bathroom door, Lou Yao Yao mockingly hooked up the corners of her mouth. Other than the person bathing, there were two other people in the dorm room. One person was sleeping. The other person was sitting at a desk, reading a book. Hearing the door open, the sleeping person didnt move. The person who was reading lifted her head to look at her. She showed a faint smile, Yao Yao, good morning. Good morning, Tang Qin. Lou Yao Yao returned a sincere smile. After Tang Qin had greeted her, she looked down to continue reading. Lou Yao Yao walked over and ced the bag of milk and sandwiches at her desk. Afterwards, to Tang Qins doubtful look, she said, I brought you breakfast. Thank you, Tang Qin lightly thanked her, then decorously ate breakfast. The female who just walked out of the bathroom saw this and happily shouted, Yao Yao, youre finally back! Compared to the others partys enthusiasm, Lou Yao Yaos attitude could be said as cold. She just used a cold voice to reply. Yao Yao, I knew you were the best. Wheres my breakfast? Im so hungry! She spoke while ncing at Lou Yao Yaos hands. But she discovered to her disappointment that Lou Yao Yaos hands werent carrying any bags. The bag she was carrying was also looked empty,pletely seemed like there wasnt anything inside. Lou Yao Yao shrugged her shoulders and said expressionationaly, Sorry, there isnt any for you. Then, she didnt pay any more attention to the stunned female and lowered her head to ask Tang Qin, ss is going to start soon. Why dont you eat and walk at the same time? Okay, Tang Qin swallowed the food in her mouth and grabbed the professional book on the desk. Lou Yao Yao found her own books and ced them in her bag. She very naturally took Tang Qins books so that Tang Qin could have her hands free to eat breakfast. Totally disregarding the other female, Lou Yao Yao and Tang Qin went out the dormitory together. This isnt like you. Did she make you angry? Im not an idiot. Towards the kind of people who eat and use your own things, then say malicious words behind your back, if I am good to her again, then I am sick. I thought you didnt know. Tang Qin just smiled and didnt speak again. Lou Yao Yao smiled bitterly. Didnt know? Indeed, at this time she hadnt known, however, that didnt mean she didnt knowter. Although she was selfish, she wasnt stingy in the aspect of using money. When she yed with that group of boys in Old Town, they used money together. Whoever was had money paid and whoever didnt have money just followed along. This cultivated habit madeLou Yao Yao be very generous towards her friends. Of the three people in her dormitory, Tang Qin treated her neither coldly nor warmly. The other two people were much more intimate towards her, seeming like they wished they could dig out their lungs to give to her. As a famous troublesome essence, Lou Yao Yao didnt have any female friends before she came to university. At that time, females with a lot of male friends were isted. When she attended university, she finally had two friends. Lou Yao Yao was very generous towards her friends. Seeing that her two friends familys circumstances werent as good as hers, she paid every time they went out to eat or shop. She also paid for all the products in the bathroom. Every time she returned home, she would share all the snacks that Qin Zhi bought her with them. Even if she hadnt dug out her lungs for them, at least she hadnt treated them unfairly. Finally? They ate her food, used her things, and said a great deal of unbearable words behind her back. She was a self-righteous rich daughter. She was a prodigal female. She fooled around with guys all day long, never returning to the dormitory. These were not the most vulgar remarks. Before Lou Yao Yao never understood, she wasnt in school very long, she could almost im to be invisible. How had her reputation be so bad? When she heard it with her own ears, only then did she finally understand. Was she sad? Definitely. Was she hurt? Definitely. They righteously considered Lou Yao Yao a spendthrift to butcher. On one side, they were happily butchering her, on the other side, they were happily scolding her. Actually, Lou Yao Yao didnt have as much money as other people thought. Those parents who gave their children lots of money regardless of anything was merely a fantasy. It was basically impossible to exist in reality. Parents had experienced society for so many years and knew about the attraction of money. If it was their own child, what parent would give their childrge amounts of money without cause or reason so they would be corrupted by bad examples. It was impossible. The children of wealthy overseas even had to work part-time jobs for their spending money. Although domestic parents would spoil their children a little, they wouldnt go too far. Lou Yao Yao truly did have more money than other people, but it was very limited. Besides, her mother was so strict. Her only advantage was that she had one of Qin Zhis credit cards. Otherwise with her extravagant personality, she normally wouldck money morepared to the average person. However, fortunately, although she had lost two unworthy friends, she had gained a genuine friend, Tang Qin. Her rtionship with Tang Qin had always been neither hot nor cold. Until one night several months ago, she had been burning up with a high fever. She didnt even have the strength to grab her cell phone and call. She called out weakly for a long time, but in the end those two people were sleeping like logs. Perhaps they had heard, but didnt want to pay attention. When she wanted to give up in despair, Tang Qin discovered she had a fever. She got up to help Lou Yao Yao change her clothes and carried Lou Yao Yao on her back to the infirmary. At three oclock in the wintry night, there wasnt a shadow of anyone else. The dormitory auntie had left them to go sleep. That night, Tang Qin carried Lou Yao Yao on her back through half the campus. It was difficult to imagine how Tang Qin was able to carry Lou Yao Yao, who was of simr height with her, so far. She almost fell a few times. Lou Yao Yao also realized at that time that a genuine friend wasnt someone who just said nice words but was someone who was willing to pull you along when you met misfortune. Afterwards, she continuously stuck to Tang Qin even though the opposite partys attitude to her was consistently neither hot nor cold. But Lou Yao Yao slowly discovered that her personality was always like this. She was neither hot nor cold to everyone. However, she was especially patient to Lou Yao Yao. After graduating, they maintained contact with each other. If they werent busy, then they would meet up. Tang Qin was probably one of the only three people who would answer her phone at three oclock at night and listen to herin without hanging up. It was difficult to imagine that she the virulent women who was continuously loathed by people, unexpectedly had friend who was so sincere to her. Because of this, Tang Qin had not been short of people saying that she climbed high using ones rtions. Lou Yao Yaos temperament wasnt good. Sometimes, she was persistently unreasonable or was angry without reason or cause. So she was also somewhat puzzled as to why Tang Qing would continue to be her friend. Tang Qins familys circumstances were good nor did she need Lou Yao Yao to do anything. Later when Tang Qin told her she knew why. I just thought that that girl who was easily moved to tears, even if she was bad, she wasnt a very bad person, Besides, I knew if an emotional person said she wanted to be friends, then it would be for a long time. Thinking of this, Lou Yao Yao foolishly smiled towards Tang Qin. Tang Qin saw this and revealed a light smile on her delicate face. It was the most beautiful smile that Lou Yao Yao had ever seen. As for the other two people? They could go to hell. She had to help her Qin Zhi save money. She didnt have time to raise idlers. FirePegasus:[I have highschool so my trantions in the future will most likely be pretty slow since I am taking 3 APs. ] Chapter 10 - What are you doing? Chapter 10 What are you doing? All the people could feel that the Lou Yao Yao who always read magazines in ss and went window-shopping right after ss ended had changed. First, not even mentioning that she no longer talked with the two other people in her dormitory, she seriously attended ss without being absent. She didnt care about the long distance and traveled halfway across the campus to attend other sses. After school, she went to the library. She was simply the model of a improving student. To everyone that was watching, it was an inconceivable matter. Regarding the students of the administration faculty, Lou Yao Yao practically half an invisible person. Normally, if one wanted to find her, then they would have to find her in apulsory ss. At other times, one basically couldnt see her shadow on the campus. However, there were of all kinds of high-profile rumors about her flying about. Today evening, Lou Yao Yao was with Tang Qin in the library studying, as usual. She had missed so many sses and was separated by so many years from her time as a university student. Frankly, she only had a smattering of knowledge left. However, this didnt obstruct her from listening in ss with great eagerness. Perhaps it was became of her change in attitude, the business anecdotes her teachers cited were particrly interesting. The experience she gained by working as her mothers assistant all those years in herst life allowed her to harvest greatly. Lou Yao Yao didnt understand the theories that she saw in the brick-like books in the library. However, many books would have some example insides. Like this, she could this guess at the general meaning. She took out her phone to check the time. It was almost 9 oclock. Lou Yao Yao looked the number that she knew by heart and sent a SMS. Have you finished work? En. Im on the road. Youreter than yesterday by an hour! En. Nangua, this narrow-minded, gossipy male! Does he dare not let you not work overtime!? pumpkin is the literal meaning. It is insulting nickname for Ruan Si Nuan. Thepany is still at its beginning stage. Its normal to be so busy. Theres no way around it. Sheined about the chief criminal Si Nan Ruan who made Qin Zhi work overtime to him, then suddenly remembered that Qin Zhi was driving. Consequently, she remedied this by sending a short text message. Youre driving, right? Dont reply back. Just focus on driving. Sure enough, Qin Zhi really didnt reply back. Even though she was the one who made him do that, Lou Yao Yao thought that she felt lonely and at a loss. She propped up her chine and stared piteously at her phone. That appearance, in other peoples eyes, was particrly cute. Although she wasnt the sexy, morous type, her face and skin were delicate like a dolls. These days, girls that were the foreign doll type were also very popr. Although these kind of girls were very troublesome, most people were unable to bear their personality. However, at that moment, her snow-white glossy skin was bright under the fluorescent light. It was so white, it was almost translucent. Looking at it, she was very beautiful. Several males sitting at a table had already looked at her for a long while. Is that sophomore Lou Yao Yao? What, do you want to pursue her? Im thinking about it. She doesnt seem to be like the rumors. She looks like a very pure girl. If you want to poke a hos nest, go ahead and pursue her. Oh? I say, you seem very familiar with her. How can not be I be familiar? Laozi was in the same school as her all of elementary, middle school and high school. In those years, I dared to write her a love letter. I was tormented until I couldnt live. I, your father (in anger, or out of contempt) Wasnt the school you went to a very famous private school? Does this Lou Yao Yao have a big background? What background? Her family opens a apparelpany. However, her friends arent simple. What do you mean? You arent from here. Not knowing is very normal. You know in this city, there is Old Town. The people whoe from there are particrly xenophobic. That female is the only female in that circle. You should think it over carefully. If you arent careful and pursue her but dont let it go, then you would be finished. Your fate would be to wash your neck and wait for death. wash your neck-for the executioners de Damn, then isnt that just hanging myself. The the administration facultys peoples families to some extent all had some property. Otherwise without any property, what would they administer? Even if other bigpaniescked a talented manger, there were many people with diplomasing abroad from N country to struggle for a job. How could it be the turn of these people were without solid foundation or training? One had to choose ones major correctly, otherwise, after graduating, one would continue to do odd jobs as before. As amercial metropolis that kept up with the times, H city had countless foreignersing in. There were innumerable people trying to establish apany, but the businessmen of H city were xenophobic. As a result there was Old Town, foreign businesses, and local businesses, these three factions. Among these the one whose power was greatest yet was also the most difficult to integrate into modern society was Old Town, the conservative faction. They had started early so their foundation was steady. A slight move in one part may affect the situation as a whole, it was very difficult to deal with. At that time, when Lou Yao Yao killed Lou Qing Qing, there werent just a few doubtful points in the case, but in the end Qin Zhi was quickly sentenced to be punished. For this to happen, the people in the other two factions contributed greatly. Certainly, Lou Yao Yao, this single-celled organism, didnt know anything about this. Right now, she was just a female student distressed because of love. In situations that Lou Yao Yao didnt know about, her hidden pursuers lifted their feet in order to step on the path to pursue her one moment, then decisively retracted their foot. In fact, Lou Yao Yao seemingly had never been pursued from when she was small till when she had grown up. Love letters, these kinds of things, were just an existence in a fable. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chen Hao to confuse her until she was head over heels in love. Moreover, the time that Chen Hao appeared was too opportune. Her youngest ymates were all at least two years older than her. At that time, they had all graduated. Otherwise, how would it be possible for Chen Hao to jump up? When her ymates discovered her affair, it was already toote. However, although Lou Yao Yaos backer kept off some troubles for her, it also simted several conceited men looking for novelty. This made Lou Yao Yao vexed. Not mentioning being stopped in ss, but she also frequently received iprehensible things. Also there were chance encounters in various ces. Unexpectedly, the other party would also give all kinds of invitations with a face like he was bestowing a great honor. This wasnt in the script! Lou Yao Yao was utterly speechless. Howe she didnt know she was so attractive? In her past life, there was basically no one pursuing her! Actually, that was because other people basically werent able to meet her. Even if people wanted to give her a love letter or go on a date, with those two roommates, how would the letters or information be able to reach her? Furthermore, after walking out of the previous lifes haze, Lou Yao Yao had an indifference towards people and matters that she didnt realize. After experiencing the extreme madness, very little was able to enrage her now. She lost her thorns and her appearance wasnt ugly. Her character appeared to be cold and somewhat a challenge. Having people pursue her was very normal. However, Lou Yao Yao didnt like this at all. She currently had no interest in anyone other than Qin Zhi. Only, when she stated she already had a boyfriend, the pursuer, whose name she didnt remember, unexpectedly didnt give up. His mouth was full of flowers that would annoy people to death. Today, he followed her to the ssroom. Full of flowers- honey-tongued/smooth talker If it wasnt for the fact that there was a required ss with roll-call tomorrow, she would want to skip ss. However, tomorrow was Friday, she didnt need to be tortured again. She disgustedly red at the male student sitting in front of her. Lou Yao Yao also didnt have to mood to listen to ss. She grabbed her phone to send Qin Zhi a text message. What are you doing? She waited a little for the other side, and received two characters back, Meeting. In Chinese, this is two characters She frowned andy down her phone. She propped up her chin for a while but was unable to resist sending another message. What are you doing? The reply was quicker this time. It was the same two characters as before, Meeting. This let Lou Yao Yao be a little amazed. As a result, she asked, You can send messages when youre in a meeting? The other side was silent for a long time, then replied, I can. Ah-Nan is in charge. I just have to attend. Ah is used before names for people who you are close to After receiving this answer, Lou Yao Yao with a clear conscience started to send over innumerous messages with both hands flying over the screen. Sheined about this, thenined about that. All of it wasints. Looking at the messages that Lou Yao Yao was sending, Qin Zhi knit his browns. He stared at the screen for half a day {figurative}, then realized there wasnt any sound in the conference room. He raised his head to stare at the standing male employee and said, Continue. That employee was stunned and said with a bitter face, Boss, I already said it twice. Qin Zhi was also stunned, then turned his head to look at Ruan Si Nuan. Ruan Si Nuan had lowered his head and was flipping through an entertainment magazine. Once in a while, he wouldugh. He totally wasnt paying attention. The response of the assistant on his right was quick. He pushed his own notebook over to Qin Zhi at once. ncing over at lightning speed the records written down, Qin Zhi calmly said, This proposal, does anyone have an objection to it? Who would dare to have an objection? The employees were silent. Seeing that no one voiced an objection, Qin Zhi made the final decision, This being the case, this proposal is unanimously put into action. Then starting from today, the technology division will implement it. Can the technology division achieve making the end product within a month? No problem. The technology divisions head pushed up his sses. He cast a nce at the Ruan Si Nuan who was still reading the magazine. Okay. This is the end of the meeting. The meeting which was originally supposed tost several hours, was decided by Qin Zhi in a few short minutes. He then single-mindedly started to apany Lou Yao Yao texting. The speed at which she sent messages was too quick. He hadnt even finished reading one message, when the next message was already sent. After waiting for thest employee to leave, the still reading magazine Ruan Si Nuan closed his magazine. He smiled disquietingly, I guess that they must definitely want to changepanies. The assistant who was still tidying up the boss files nodded in his heart: Nonsense, can they not want to change jobs? This is a newly emergingpany. The vice-president is someone who ignores ones proper upation. Never mind. Now even the workaholic CEO is starting to daze off when working. That can also be ignored. But, he unexpectedly sent text messages during a meeting. He even concluded an extremely important meeting early so he could be at ease to sent text messages!! Thispany..........is going down, going down, going down!!! The words that the young assistant roared inside his heart, other people were naturally unable to hear. Qin Zhi nced at Ruan Si Nuan. He didnt pay attention to Ruan Si Nuans words and said, During period of time, go and help the technology division. Ruan Si Nuan shrugged. He didnt express an opinion and stood up to depart. In the middle of leaving, he turned around and said, Right, Dong Dong came back yesterday. Bring Yao Yao over to meet up in the weekend. Ill pass on the message. Qin Zhi didnt lift his head. Ruan Si Nuan left halfway. Suddenly he came back and sntached Qin Zhis phone. He swiped at the phone screen and nced at it once, and was able to see nearly all of the messages on the screen. He took advantage of the time that Qin Zhi wasnt yet angry to give him back the phone. Ignoring Qin Zhis eyes filled with anger, Ruan Si Nuan was without a bit of pressure as he said to the assistant, Young assistant, do you know the meaning of a female asking a male what he is doing? I dont know, the assistant rolled his eyes and continued to pack the things. The meaning is that the girl is thinking of the boy. However...... Ruan Si Nan ran his fingers through his hair. He walked while speaking, It could be because she was too bored. She couldnt wait for the person whom she was waiting for so she could only find someone else to kill time. Women. After saying these baffling words, Ruan Si Nan walked off. This guy was as before, like a meddling woman. Qin Zhi could help but agree with Ruan Si Nans evaluation. The assistant packed up everything and left. In such a big conference room, there was only Qin Zhi left. Lou Yao Yaos messages were incessantly being sent. The beep of a text message being sent never stopped. But Qin Zhi didnt look at any of the messages. What Ruan Si Nan said, how could he not understand? Lou Yao Yao also sent him messages in the past. However, after he replied, the other side had no response for a long time. After a very long time, there was finally a sentence : Im chatting with Chen Hao, lets speak next time. Lou Yao Yao somewhat unusual these days. In normal circumstances, only when Chen Hao didnt reply to her would she message other people out of boredom. Unfortunately, he was the one who would reply to her message at any time. He knew. He knew everything. But what could he do? Ignore her? If he could do that, he would have already done that earlier. The other side continuously sent a lot of messages. But, possibly discovering that he hadnt replied, she stopped bombarding messages at him. After a while, she sent a message. Qin Zhi opened that message : Yi, Why arent you replying? Are you busy? Yi- exmation of surprise He didnt think and automatically sent a message : No, the meeting just adjourned. Im packing up. Lying would became a habit. Saying it once. Then wait a while and one would be unable to bear saying it a second time. Not waiting for Lou Yao Yao to reply, Qin Zhi sent another message. Should I pick you up tomorrow afternoon? Okay, Ill wait for you. Ill wait for you........It was this sentence again......... Qin Zhi expressionlessly scrolled through the chat record. In these messages, 50% were asking him what he was doing. What are you doing? Im thinking of you. When could he reply like that? Chapter 11.1 - No need to be ambiguous Chapter 11.1 No need to be ambiguous Eventually, thest ss of the day ended. Lou Yao Yao ced the books she needed to read over the weekend in her bag. The other books that she didnt need, she handed over to Tang Qin, so Tang Qin could help her bring the books back to the dorm. Tang Qin was packing up two books when she suddenly smiled faintly and pushed Lou Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao turned her head over to look. She saw a young male student standing at the ssroom door with both hand in his trouser pockets. He was leaningzily on the wall. His hair was longer than most male students. His tight-fitting ck shirt made his waist seem slender. Two of his buttons were undone. In addition, he had a handsome face. His entire person seemed sexy and charming. Several female students who were confused by his beauty went up to talk to him. That person had a good personality and apanied them in talking, making several female students continuouslyugh tenderly. Lou Yao was annoyed and wrinkled her brows, Really is haunted by a ghost. unwilling to leave Havent you made it clear to him? Tang Qin actually thought it was very interesting. I did, but his head has a problem. Its not at all clear to him. Speaking of this, Lou Yao Yao was somewhat vexed. She had no idea how she had provoked such a troublesome person. Towards this, Tang Qin was also powerless. She joked, Why dont you give him an opportunity? I already have someone I like. Lou Yao Yao firmly refused. Tang Qin also had heard about the person that Lou Yao Yao liked, school leader Chen Hao in junior year. It was said that these two people were formerly in the same high school. However, the school leader already had a childhood sweetheart who studied in the next-door art school. Thus, Tang Qin thought that Lou Yao Yaos hope wasnt very big. Moreover, Tang Qin didnt like the school leader after several meetings. He was too perfect; on the contrary, it made it seem artificial. The most important thing was that Tang Qin thought he had some other objective for approaching Lou Yao Yao. She forced down those ideas and didnt speak again. She stopped joking. That male student didnt suit Lou Yao Yao. Then again, even if he did suit, she couldnt try to control Lou Yao Yaos thoughts. The road to go the dormitory and to leave school were different. Lou Yao Yao and Tang said goodbye and separated at the ssroom door. The male student waiting in the doorway saw them and pushed his way through the crowd of female students. He blocked Lou Yao Yao and started to walked alongside her while inviting her, Senior, can you give this junior the chance to have dinner with you? Lou Yao Yao nced at him, This junior, am I very familiar with you? We arent familiar. The man smiled, his entire person looked like demonic evil, However, feelings can be slowly nurtured. Even if we arent familiar right now that doesnt represent that we wont be familiar in the future. It means something like he looked demonically handsome, but the literal trantion is the above. Feelings really can be slowly nurtured, but you still have to see if the other party is willing. Lou Yao Yao sent Qin Zhi a text message to let him know that she had already finished ss. Only then did she raise her head to continue speaking, I thought I had already been clear enough. I already have a boyfriend. Until you arrive at the end of a rtionship, no one can rashly draw any conclusion. You should give others an opportunity and give yourself an opportunity. ording to your theory, isnt that the same as saying that Ill prepare a mistress in advance for when I might divorce? Your girlfriend or wife is really pitiful. The male student was stunned for two seconds by Lou Yao Yaos argument. Then he immediately recovered and pursued her, Senior, youre deliberately twisting my meaning. Marriage and love arent the same. Lou Yao Yao didnt deny it, It really isnt the same. But the two-timing nature is the same. You cant believe that just because you havent gone to the marriage stage, that two-timing is correct. Moreover, if you love for loves sake, then I love for marriages sake. There are many people willing to apany you to y these love games, but I am not one of them. Is that so? The male shrugged and showed a very worried expression, What should I do? Because of your words, unexpectedly, I dont want to give up more and more. Lou Yao Yao stopped walking and looked straight at this young man whose name she didnt remember, Whether you give up or not is your business. But what I want to say is that you doing this is making me sick of you and my feelings toward you are starting to be loathing. Moreover, when I see you, I have an impulse to p you. Really is ruthless...... The male student shook his head and made a expression that showed nothing could be done, Even if you arent interested, you dont have to speak so heartlessly. Actually, you are the first female student to reject me. That is because you havent confessed enough times. If you confess to one hundred female students, there will definitely be a few that will reject you. Lou Yao Yao good intentionally gave a suggestion. The man unexpectedly thought it was interesting and said, Another day, Ill try it. Lou Yao Yao rolled her eyes and didnt pay any more attention to him. She avoid him and continued walking. In her eyes, this was just only one grown young male student, she didnt need to care too much. Wait. That person pursued her, Okay, since you are so determined, Ill draw back one step. Can you give me the opportunity to just be ordinary friends? Ordinary friends? Lou Yao Yao didnt think and refused, No. No? We cant even be friends? Having such an outstanding pursuer as a friend is very enviable. In order to support with his argument, he pulled up his cor and changed his expression. His entire aura transformed. In a moment, he changed from a slovenly delinquent to a mature, serious, aspiring man. This man was really an evildoer. She estimated that he couldpete with Nan Gua. But, Lou Yao Yao didnt have much feeling toward him, Sorry, my boyfriend is enough. I dont need to draw legs on a snake. The most important thing is that I dislike being ambiguous with someone the most. meaning enchanting/ makes many girls fall in love- not the english definition of evildoer to ruin the effect by adding sth superfluous Ambiguousness? In herst life, she was harmed greatly by ambiguousness. Between a male and a female, could there really be a chaste friendship rtionship? Perhaps there could be. However, a friendship that had love pulled in was not pure, even more when a confession had already happened. In her previous life, her entire youth was harmed by Chen Haos ambiguousness. Qin Zhis life had also beenpletely destroyed by her ambiguousness........ Wait....... What had she just thought............ Her ambiguousness........ Her ambiguousness........ Lou Yao Yao stopped, dazed. Just then a light had gone off in her head, making her feel that she had faintly grasped a important idea. But when she wanted to understand it deeply, the idea became more and more indistinct. I can understand why you hate ambiguousness. Is Senior afraid that Ill swoop in? Looking at the face that suddenly approached, Lou Yao Yao was so startled that she stepped back. That sh of light was gone before she could consider it deeply. She frowned, annoyed at this male student who believed he was infallible. Her patience had already been worn down. Even if he was a small child, she didnt want to endure any further. What gave you such confidence? I am not one of those girls who can only cry and not do anything. If you provoke me, I will use my fist. A virtuous woman? Sorry, she was never that. After speaking, Lou Yao Yao didnt look at him again. She had been dyed by this guy. FirePegasus: Because the chapter are too long, from now on, I decided to divide the chapters into two. Ill also try to post a part of chapter every Monday. Please have mercy if I forget to. Chapter 11.2 - No need to be ambiguous Chapter 11.2 No need to be ambiguous She hadnt even finished walking halfway when she felt a few drops of rain fall on her face. She hadnt even walked very far. Junes weather constantly changed. One moment the weather would be good; instantly, the next moment would be a downpour. Lou Yao Yao hadnt responded when pitter-patter, raindrops fell on her body. She was instantaneously wet. When Lou Yao Yao responded, she immediately broke into a mad dash. She ran a while before she found a ce to shelter her from the rain. Finally when she had run over, she saw that guy who had endlessly pestered her also run over. When he approached, he saw Lou Yao Yaos unhappy vision. He flung back his hair and smilingly said, Senior, I didnt pursue you here. There arent any rules that say I cant take shelter from the rain here. Other than him, there were many students who ran here to take shelter from the rain. After all, this downpour was too sudden. Lou Yao Yao hugged her bag to her chest, walked away a little and ignored him. Today, she had let down her hair. The rain had stered it all over her face. Even without looking, she knew she looked very distressed. She pushed the wet hair that was blocking her line of sight out of the way. Then, she idly looked at the rain. The entire curtain of rain seemed like it had turned into lines of rain. It was a rather magnificent scene. The bean-sized drops of rain pounded pitter patter on the ground. The wind brought a slight chill to blistering hot summer. But, the wind was really too strong. The small trees by the roadside were all bent in the middle by the wind. It was good that she hadnt worn a skirt today. Lou Yao Yao extended a hand to feel the raindrops. The raindrops falling in her palm were a little ticklish. In her mind, she estimated that Qin Zhi would quickly arrive, so she wasnt worried at all. This was the only ce to go in and out of the school. When Qin Zhi arrived, he would definitely be able to see her. While she was waiting for Qin Zhi, Tang Qin called to ask her whether or not she needed a umbre. Lou Yao Yao refused gratefully. That small male student actually tactfully didnt disturb her. He just continuously stared at her, seemingly pondering over something. However, Lou Yao Yao didnt have the least desire to know about it. Suddenly, an umbre extended over Lou Yao Yaos head. Lou Yao Yao who was in a daze, realized that her surroundings had be darker and raised her head. Youve waited a very long time. That voice sounded like a gust of cool breeze. Because of this voice, her heart which was somewhat restless because of the muggy weather, suddenly calmed down. Lou Yao Yao seemed as if she had not heard the voice. This curtain of rain was very familiar. In the summer of her 17th year, it had also rained like this. She had been standing in her schools entrance, waiting for Qin Zhi to pick her up. She had idly looked at the rain scenery in a daze. Suddenly, this person crashed into her world like this. She had waited for 10 years because of him. It was because she was too young at that time. Her head was filled with too many fantastical dreams. It was obviously a very simple scene, but it had been automatically processed by her impossibly stupid brain. In that moment, it seemed as though she couldnt hear any sound. Rain was falling very slowly. She could see the path of every raindrop falling. She raised her head to see the person who had ced the umbre over her head. That feeling, using a rather literary sentence was: It seemed as if the entire world had changed colors. Now remembering it, it had all been in her mind. Looking down, Lou Yao Yao tauntingly thought that perhaps this was fate. From where everything had first started, now it would end. The male student who was looking at Lou Yao Yao in a daze, frowned at the male student who had suddenly appeared. He raised his voice to ask, Senior, is he your boyfriend who lets you have no need for pursuers? He was just ordinarily handsome and wasnt as handsome as him. The smile on his face was extremely fake, did he really think he was a prince? He was somewhat disappointed. He didnt think that the Senior who he had settled on would like this kind of man. Chen Hao nced at him. He didnt agree but nor did her deny it. His impregnable gentle smile still hung as before on his face. Lets go, Yao Yao. However, Lou Yao Yao didnt move. She looked at him, seemingly looking through him. She was looking at a more distant ce. Afterwards, she looked at ce very far away from him. A person was opening an umbre and slowly walking towards here. It was too far away. His appearance wasnt very clear. However, to Lou Yao Yao who was very familiar with his every move, it was exactly the same as before. However, this time, she hadnt forgotten that there was still a person waiting for her. Lifting her head, Lou Yao Yao looked straight into Chen Haos eyes. She showed a mocking smile and spoke unhurriedly, clearly despising him, Him? He doesnt match me! ! After finishing speaking, Lou Yao Yao, despite the heavy rain, ran into the rain. Very quickly, she had run in front of that person. Qin Zhi frowned and pulled her underneath the umbre. He followed her nce to the two males at that side. Then, he lowered his head and looked rebukingly at Lou Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao grabbed his arm and smiled tteringly at him. He helplessly helped her tidy up her hair. He embraced her shoulders and blocked the rain falling on the other side. Then he slowly took her to the entrance. Lou Yao Yao huddled into his arms and raised her head to look at his face. She had finally moved away from that day. That fictionalized day. Qin Zhi, this time I wont let you wait in vain. In this world, always, there was never a one-sided ambiguousness. Unfortunately, she understood that toote. Fortunately, the Heavens gave her a chance to remedy this. It looks like both of us are eliminated. He saw the person whom he wanted to see. The male student shrugged his shoulders to Chen Hao and strolled into the rain. Frankly, he hadnt been joking. Although, he started to endlessly entangle this Senior out of curiosity, and afterwards, her refusal had stimted his conquering desire, he finally discovered that this Seniors speech was very interesting. Perhaps being together would be very interesting. Suddenly, he wanted to be serious once. But the other party said she loathed him. There was no need to go again to court a rebuff. She really was heartless to tell a pursuer that she loathed him. She basically didnt leave any leeway. Besides........he reckoned she hadnt even remembered his name. Reallymentable, he had unexpectedly been passerby A in someones life. Chen Hao didnt pay attention to him. He just looked at the back of those two people getting further away. His face still had that gentle advertising-type smile on. It was just that the hand holding on the umbre had fierce blue veins sticking out. Actually, that wasnt the first time they had met. He and Lou Yao Yao had attended the same private school. They had been in the same school from elementary to middle school. It was just that she had never seen him. He had even greeted her many times at gatherings. That small female student who was pampered by that group of male students. She always shrank behind Qin Zhis back. She never paid attention to anyone outside of that group. That day, he saw her standing beneath the eaves waiting for someone. Unexpectedly, she was looking at him with an unfamiliar look in her eyes. Yet, that look was also familiar. That kind of look, he had already seen it in many female students eyes. It was a shocked, infatuated look. This is our first time meeting. I am Chen Hao, a junior in ss 3. Ill send you home by car. Thank you. Hello, I am Lou Yao Yao, a sophomore in ss 3. First time meeting.......He didnt know why he had said such a lie. Because, that wasnt their first time meeting. But, she believed it. Then, the matter started to develop in another direction, in the end, who was more sorrowful? Chapter 12.1 - You dare not provoke Chapter 12 You dare not provoke When they arrived at the apartment, Qin Zhi forced Lou Yao Yao to enter the bathroom. When Qin Zhi graduated from university, he rented a single-person apartment in a block of apartments not far from the university city. There was one bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom as well as a balcony. It was only a few tens of meters big. However, in a single mans point of view, this kind of apartment was absolutely perfect. After he was making money, he brought this apartment. He seemed to favor this apartment as it was the first one he himself had bought. Even if he had to drive half an hour to go to work, he never thought of moving out. This was convenient for Lou Yao Yao. A ten minute journey couldnt be regarded as far away. Thus, after attending university, when she didnt want to go home during the weekend, she basically stayed here. Lou Yao Yaofortably took a bath. When she came out with a wrapped around her, she didnt see Qin Zhi. However, she didnt think it was strange. She took the fruit te to the table. She forked a Hami Melon and ate it. Oh.......it wasnt sweet. When she had just eaten two pieces, she heard the doorbell ring. Lou Yao Yao put down the fruit te and walked to the door while eating a Hami Melon. She thought it was Qin Zhi who had forgotten the key. However, when she looked through the peephole, she saw a female. Hesitating a while, Lou Yao Yao opened the wooden door, revealing only a crack. She looked at the woman through the metal door. Some houses in China have two doors: one metal, other wood. That female saw Lou Yao Yaos head through the crack and was slightly stunned. Then she raised her head to smile pleasantly and asked, Hello, is this Qin Zhis house? Lou Yao Yao raised her eyebrows and pretended to ask, En, Who are you? Actually, she definitely already knew this female. She was Zhou Yun Rui, Qin Zhis secretary. However, at this time, they definitely didnt know each other. As a expert in the affairs of love, how would Zhou Yun Rui be unable to sense Lou Yao Yaos hostility. However, she still maintained her smile and said, I am Qin Zhis secretary, Zhou Yun Rui. Is Qin Zhi at home right now? No, he isnt here. Although it wasnt polite, Lou Yao Yao had no intention to open the door to let her in and speak. Why are you looking for him? Zhou Yun Rui raised a briefcase, Qin Zhi forget to take home a document so he had me bring it to him. Lou Yao Yao was about to say to give the document to her so that she could pass it on, but the words hadnte out when she suddenly changed her mind. Come in and sit. Hell be back soon. Finished speaking, she opened the door. Then she let in this woman who coveted her Qin Zhi. Zhou Yun Rui originally thought the other party would ask for the documents. Then she would speak righteous words of rejection. She had been prepared to been locked out by the other party. She wanted to use this to gain a little bit of sympathy. In the end, she was allowed in. Aftering in, she saw Lou Yao Yaos state of dress and was stunned. Lou Yao Yao, however, hadnt noticed this point. She took a pair of shoes from the shoe cab and ced them on the ground. She pointed at the shoe cab, ce the umbre there. Come in and sit first. Ill go and change my clothes. Finished speaking, she didnt mind Zhou Yun Rui and entered the only bedroom and gently shut the door. One hand was holding the bag with the documents, the other hand was holding the umbre still dripping with water. Zhou Yun Rui was still staring at the shoes on the ground in a daze. Afterwards, she ced the umbre ording to Lou Yao Yaos instructions and wore the shoes. Then she proceed to start looking at this small apartment. The kitchen entrance was in the hallway. The small kitchen had all kinds of cooking implements. Looking at the where they were ced and how old they were were, they should be used often. The living room was separated into two by two fully-packed bookcases. On the outside wall, there was a set of cabs. In the middle were four sofas and a ss table. Inside the bookcase, against a floor-to-ceiling ss window, there was arge double sofa. On the sofa was a snow-white nket that made people want to go up and roll about. There were also two pink cushions on the sofa. Opposite of this was aputer table. There were also a few exquisite small objects. Considering Qin Zhis present circumstances, living in this kind of apartment was a little shabby. However, to a pair of ordinary sweethearts, this was a simple but warm ce to live together. Zhou Yun Rui ced the briefcase on the sofa. She took a closer look at the decorations of this apartment. These decorations were intensely telling her a fact : There was already a mistress here. Feminine objects could be found everywhere in the room. The most conspicuous thing was therge ss schedule pasted behind theputer table. It was clear it wasnt Qin Zhis. Lou Yao Yao didnt make Zhou Yun Rui wait too long, she changed clothes and came out. However, what she wore made Zhou Yun Rui be more speechless than when she wrapped a bath towel around herself. She wore a shoulder-less pink top and small white pants only a few inches long. She saw Zhou Yun Rui standing in front of theputer and showed a artificial smile, What are standing here for? Please sit. Do you want to drink anything? It was the hostess manner. Zhou Yun Ruis eyes shed. She sat down at the sofa where she had ced the briefcase. Clear water is good. Lou Yao Yao handed her a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. Then she ced the fruit te on the table. She retreated into the sofa opposite of Zhou Yun Rui and ate fruit. She asked Zhou Yun Rui if she wanted some. When Zhou Yun Rui said she wasnt going to eat, she ate fruit while looking at Zhou Yun Rui who was lost in thought. Zhou Yun Rui felt a great deal of pressure under thoserge, blinking eyes that were attentively watching her. She thought she had nowhere to hide under the vision of the opposite party. That pair of snow white thighs lying on the sofa was especially ring. The matter waspletely unlike what she had thought! Ruan Si Nan, this swindler! Didnt he say Qin Zhi had no girlfriend?! Didnt he encourage her to pursued Qin Zhi?! Didnt he say that other than Qin Zhis childhood friend, he didnt have anyone he liked?! But now looking at it, itpletely wasnt like that! FirePegasus: Good job Yao Yao. Establish your ownership of Qin Zhi!! Fighting! ?? Chapter 12.2 - You dare not provoke Chapter 12.2 You dare not provoke Qin Zhi walked through the door with an assortment of bags. He saw Zhou Yun Rui sitting on the sofa and looked at her somewhat surprised, Why did youe here? Zhou Yun Rui stood up and said in a pleasant voice, Manager Qin, I came to give you the documents. Didnt I say I would get the documents tomorrow? Why did youe to deliver them? Qin Zhi looked at Zhou Yun Rui, a little disgruntled. Today, he had left thepany early to meet Lou Yao Yao, and hadnt finished all of his work. He knew very clearly the thoughts of this woman. However, half of the decision-making power was in Ruan Si Nans hands. So, providing that she didnt touch his bottom line or make any mistakes in work, he couldnt do anything about her. The most important thing was if Lou Yao Yao misunderstood, what was he supposed to do? That thought shed through his mind, beforepletely vanishing. How would Lou Yao Yao be concerned enough to misunderstand? Zhou Yun Rui stammered and didnt know what to say. Lou Yao Yao watched enough of this y. She acted as peacemaker, with no sincerity, whilst eating Hami melons. Okay, she helped you by bringing the documents, out of good intentions. Dont put on a scary face, Qin Zhi. Im hungry. She then turned her head towards Zhou Yun Rui, Its still raining outside. Why dont you stay and eat dinner with us. Thanks. Zhou Yun Rui naturally didnt refuse. Qin Zhi knitted his brows and looked at Lou Yao Yao, but didnt say anything. He put the things in his hand down, before finding a nket in the room, and cing it on Lou Yao Yao. He took the fruit te in her hand and said, Dont eat too much. Youll ruin your appetite for dinner. Then, he took the fruit te and entered the kitchen. Soon, one could hear the sound of chopping vegetables. Waiting for Qin Zhi, who wore a cartoon illustrated apron to serve three dishes and one soup, Zhou Yun Rui was very disillusioned. This family man, was he really that cold faced boss who kept his promises in thepany? This meal was very stifling. Other than Qin Zhi asionally giving Lou Yao Yao some food, the three people didnt speak. The food Qin Zhi made was very delicious, however Zhou Yun Rui felt it was vorless. During this period of time, Lou Yao Yao ate in an unrestrained manner, while observing the expressions of the other two people. She looked for a long time, before finally feeling rxed. Fortunately, they werent dating. She remembered in herst life, in these two months, she had heard from Ruan Si Nan that Qin Zhi had a girlfriend. This girlfriend was Zhou Yun Rui. Later, she stirred up a big scene. However, looking at the expressions of these two people, Zhou Yun Rui really did nurture evil intentions, but Qin Zhipletely didnt have any abnormalities. He hadnt even nced at Zhou Yun Rui. Moreover, if she wasnt wrong, then Qin Zhi should like herself. Then.......why would Qin Zhi have a change of heart in such a short amount of time? Thinking of this, Lou Yao Yaos look towards Zhou Yun Rui became very bad. It wouldnt be because she used extreme methods, would it? After finishing dinner, Zhou Yun Rui helped Qin Zhi clean up the table. She wanted to help wash the dishes as well, but was rejected by Qin Zhis cold, Please, go sit. In the end, she hadnt even settled in her seat, when Lou Yao Yao said in a loud voice, Ah! Are you going to go? ............Why dont you stay awhile? ........Oh, you have a date with your boyfriend ........Then, since its like this, I wont detain you. Have a safe journey. .................. No words could express Zhou Yun Ruis current feelings. Towards Lou Yao Yaoscently smiling face, she simply wanted to throw a shoe at it. Lou Yao Yao got the result she wanted and waved her hand goodbye. Sorry, but making bogus usations, this type of thing, Im rather good at it. Zhou Yun Rui naturally didnt want to go, but with Lou Yao Yaos big voice, Qin Zhi, who was in the kitchen, had definitely heard it. Could she disregard her face and stubbornly refuse to leave? Or quarrel with Lou Yao Yao? Get into a fight? Lou Yao Yao sent a furious Zhou Yun Rui to the door, smiling and waving her hand. Thank you for your hospitality. When Zhou Yun Rui said this sentence, she gnashed her teeth. Youre wee. Lou Yao Yao beamed and then beckoned with her hand. Seeing that Zhou Yun Rui didnte over, she was forced to move over to the others ear and said, Say, if you were expelled from thepany for failing to seduce your boss, whatpany would dare to use you? You..... Zhou Yun Rui didnt dare to believe what she heard and opened her eyes wide. Lou Yao Yao innocently looked at her, Didnt anyone tell you? There are some men you can provoke and then there are some you cant. Sorry. My man, you cant afford to provoke him. Speaking thest sentence, her face was alreadypletely cold. Her cold expression made people cold to the bottom of their heart. She had already died once so what did she have to fear? Whoever dared to snatch whats hers, she would dare to go all out. With a bang, the iron gate forcefully closed, really close to Zhou Yun Ruis nose. Zhou Yun Rui recovered after a while. It seemed that she really had provoked a man that she shouldnt have...........Ruan Si Nan was simply digging a pit for her to jump into! Which part of this girl showed that she disliked Qin Zhi!? Lou Yao Yao basically regarded him as her own exclusive property. She wasnt able to tolerate other people coveting him. From chapter 12.1, the iron door that Lou Yao Yao looked through Lou Yao Yao turned her head and saw Qin Zhi standing at the kitchen entrance, looking at her. Because he stood with his back to the light, his face was covered with a shadow; she wasnt able to see his expression. He heard........ He definitely heard........Lou Yao Yao no longer had the imposing manner from a moment ago. Her heart was beating quickly; she opened her mouth, but didnt know what to say. This wasnt the first time doing a misdeed or threatening people, but she had never been so anxious. Atst, she wrote herself off as hopeless and resolved to act recklessly. Qin Zhi........I C Dont just stand there. If you wear so little during such a heavy rain, youll catch a cold. After Qin Zhi finished speaking, he turned around to enter to kitchen. It seemed that he probably hadnt heard her words just then. Lou Yao Yaos fire had been totally extinguished by Qin Zhis sentence. She rushed up and kicked him with her foot, Qin Zhi, youre simply a pig! Qin Zhi, who had been kicked for supposedly no reason, looked speechlessly at the enraged Lou Yao Yao running away. How did he offend her? When Qin Zhi cleaned up, it was still raining. Lou Yao Yao, who had taken a hot bath earlier, fell asleep on the sofa; satiated with food and drink. Just like a small cat, she shrank into a small ball on the sofa. Her small nose was wrinkled, as if there was something troubling her. Other than the chest area of her strapless blouse, the waist areas material was nearly transparent. The originally short pants, because she was curling her body, looked even shorter. Vast expanses of her snow-white skin were on disy. She slept in front of him, like this, without any defenses. She acted as if she wasnt aware that she was a girl. Could it be that she had never thought of how dangerous it would be, to be in a room with an ordinary, single guy? Its probably because she was too reassured towards him. Or, more likely........that she basically didnt see him as a man. Qin Zhi bitterly smiled and stooped down to pick up Lou Yao Yao. His hands felt a soft and smooth sensation. He forced down the strange thoughts that were arising. Qin Zhi ced Lou Yao Yao on the bed and covered her with a light nket. During this time, Lou Yao Yao hadnt woken up. When she was ced on the bed, she bent her body and shrank into a ball again. Qin Zhi stood by the head of the bed and looked at her sleeping face. He couldnt help but recall the sentence she had recently said, What can I do? I cant walk out. Actually, he also couldnt walk out. But, he was really very tired. He didnt want to pretend anymore. Should he say that she was too heartless, or that he was too na?ve? He, unexpectedly, had believed the words of a twelve-year-old. Furthermore, he seriously kept her joking words within his heart. I, Lou Yao Yao, will definitely be Qin Zhis woman. So, until I grow up, you cant have any girlfriends. Otherwise, youll regret it. I am the girl doomed to defeat them. Haha, then Ill wait. Look, he really was too naive. Nothing but a joke and he had remembered it for so many years. At the age of 17, Lou Yao Yao had ced him in a corral. He stood in the corral, waiting for many years. In the end, he finally discovered, Lou Yao Yao had never enclosed herself inside. From start to finish, it was just an enclosure for him alone. FirePegasus: Sorry for posting sote. I had a lot of homework yesterday and totally forgot to post. Chapter 13.1 - Green Plums and Bamboo Horse {Childhood Sweethearts} Chapter 13 Green Plums and Bamboo Horse {Childhood Sweethearts} Lou Yao Yao started a cold war with Qin Zhi. However, this was only within Lou Yao Yaos mind, as Qin Zhi simply didnt know what she was angry about. Frankly speaking, the number of times Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi had quarreled was certainly not small. For any young male student, let alone a young Qin Zhi, the experience of having a tail following him wherever he went was a kind of torture. Heaven knows that, on countless asions, he had almost sumbed to impulse and thrown this shadow into the river. In memory, the most serious quarrel they had was when he was in high school. It was a time when youths started to be interested in the opposite sex, interested in female students. In the end, each and every time, before he had even started to love, the possibility of a rtionship would be destroyed by Lou Yao Yao, this light bulb. Qin Zhi became rebellious and angry. He had once resolved to hide far away, and no longer pay attention to this troublesome devil. Finally, Lou Yao Yao didnt say or do anything. She just opened her pair of big eyes to look at him, silently crying. As a result, his earlier determination disappeared into thin air, and so he had no way out. Therefore, the feeling of being childhood friends was the most helpless in the world; one cannot give it up, nor can one throw it away. The sentiment from childhood; the one who was ruthless enough to suppress their heart was the winner. Qin Zhi wasnt ruthless enough. Thus, Lou Yao Yao won. He couldnt throw his feelings away, thus, he could only acknowledge the reality and ept his fate. In fact, there was evidence that having Lou Yao Yao as a girlfriend was actually quite good. Though she may be unruly and willful, but she wasnt inherently bad. She was very easily enraged, but at the same time, she was also very easily moved. In addition, she always only had him in her eyes. As a man, this made him rather vain. His friends teased him many a time because of this matter. They all said he was shameless for bearing toy his hands on her, even though she was so small. He didnt think it was embarrassing. On the contrary, he treasured this sentiment more and more. His attitude towards Lou Yao Yao changed day-by-day. The initial impatience slowly transformed until he could bear any hardship withoutint. If a man started to learn how to treasure a woman, then he had really grown up. If nothing had changed, Qin Zhi would probably have spent his life like this, with Lou Yao Yao, until he died. However, a variable had unexpectedly appeared. Lou Qing Qings appearance took away most of Lou Yao Yaos attention. Perhaps, it was because she was too lonely. Although she always yed with that group of boys, and was not short of friends, Lou Yao Yao, whocked femalepanionship, really liked this half-blood jiejie. She was just like a tigress, protecting her timid and weak jiejie. Unfortunately, this sentiment of being sisters didntst very long before it burst. Then there was also Chen Haos sudden appearance. Since that time, Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi walked farther and farther apart. The promise from so many years ago, Lou Yao Yao seemed to have forgotten it. But he could only pretend it had never urred, like everything was just something he had imagined. Ruan Si Nan said to either stake everything on a single throw of dice, or give up. Unfortunately, neither was an option for him. Thus, the situation remained at an impasse. A cold war. It seemed that there hadnt been one for many years. Qin Zhi drove the car while thinking. Lou Yao Yao, sitting in shotgun, turned her head to look outside. She didnt even nce at him. This situation had already continued for an entire day, and Lou Yao Yao knew that she was being unreasonable, but she couldnt help feeling angry. How could there be such a stupid man in this world? What was his mind thinking? If he had confessed, would the ending of her previous life have been different? Would it have been different? Lou Yao Yao vaguely knew the answer in her heart. The more she knew the answer, the angrier she was at herself. She was the one who was really stupid. How could she have never discovered Qin Zhis feelings towards her? She had always believed that Qin Zhi thought of her as a younger sister..........because, starting from when she was twelve, there were no changes in their interactions. Therefore, in her previous life, when Qin Zhi had confessed his love, she didnt know when he had fallen in love with her. Originally........he had always acted the same, so she had never discovered it. This really was a truth that made people want to go crazy. They were surely a pair of silly fools. The two fools sat silently in the car, both thinking of their own matters. They had to attend a gathering now. Originally, it was supposed to have been held yesterday; it had rained so the time was rescheduled for today. The meeting ce was a bar that one of the members had opened. Compared to the innumerable styles of all the other nightclubs, this bar was purely a ce to sip wine and chat. The staff were very familiar with Qin Zhi, as he was a frequent visitor. After handing the car key to a parking attendant little brother, Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yao entered together. Although the bar was decorated luxuriously and was very refined, it didnt quite measure up enough for the high and sessful public figures. Youths, with their abundant fervor, also didnt like this kind of reserved ce. So, although it was the weekend, there werent very many customers, so Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yao easily found their group of friends in the corner. The two of them seemed to have arrivedte. Dong Dong had the most active personality, and when he saw them, he shouted at the top of his lungs, Over here. There were 7~8 men while Lou Yao Yao was the only female student. She casually selected a ce to sit down, then listened to them chat. The one who spoke the most was Dong Dong. He was also the main reason for the meeting today. Actually, Dong Dong was very interesting. He probably was the most useless person in this group. When they were small, he had had an impressive appearance whilst fighting. However, in the end, he would be beaten up, with snot and tears running down his face. But, he was someone who liked to stir up trouble and was always taught a lesson (punished) every other day. He was simr to Lou Yao Yao, this troublesome soul (spirit). Unexpectedly, he was rather good at ying the piano. Coupled with his delicate and fine face, he could deceive many young female students. Afterwards, as he grew older, he would, more often, put on airs. He left the country to study at a music university. When everyone thought that he was going to be a musician, and his family had also prepared to send him further abroad to continue his studies, he suddenly stated that he wasnt going to study. He found someone to repair a broken RV, and went travelling all over the nation with this RV. He had already been traveling for a year now. Afterwards, as he grew older, he would, more often, put on airs. He left to study at a music university in a different part of the country. When everyone thought that he was going to be a musician, and his family had also prepared to send him abroad to continue his studies, he suddenly stated that he wasnt going to study. He found someone to repair a broken RV, and went travelling all over the nation with this RV. He had already been traveling for a year now. FirePegasus: Im sorry. Im really forgetful about updating. Also, I forgot to do sost time so Id like to announce that I now have a editor, Rhith. Thanks to Rhith I think my trantion quality is much better than before. Chapter 13.2 - Green Plums and Hobby-horse {childhood sweethearts} Chapter 13.2 Green Plums and Hobby-horse {childhood sweethearts} Seeing that Lou Yao Yao was watching him, Dong Dong revealed a mouthful of white teeth, Jie, what are you looking at? Lou Yao Yao red at him; she was toozy to look away from him. She was the youngest within this group, but she was always called Jie. The reason behind this was because, when she was younger, she had loved to excessively stir up trouble. This group of guys had been tossed around until they were all tired. She couldnt remember who had said this sentence, Youre my Jie. Please Jie, you old woman, dont keep troubling us! It is a term of respect saying she is their respected elder. She was very pleased with herself when she heard this. Every time this group of older boys called her Jie, she would be a little more honest. Afterwards, when they had all grown up, Jie became her nickname, but for the boys, it still meant troublesome spirit. Thinking about it now really made one smile. She had really thought it was praise. Dong Dong didnt have snot and tears dripping from his face anymore; he no longer paid attention to how he dressed, whilst pretending to be a mncholy prince. He now wore flowery shirts, short pants and had on a pair of flip flops. His head of hair was a mess, just like a birds nest. His skin was tanned by the sun and as he sat amongst this group of beautiful youths, he looked like a dreadful uncle. He really stood out. Lou Yao Yao looked at the others in the group. The person, who had yed the most wildly, to everyones shock, had entered a government branch. He now wore sses and had a serious face. It seemed that his daughter was three years old. The one, who had the shyest personality, was now a well-known singer. He now had the loudest voice. Dong Dong, why were you willing toe back this time? There was no other solution. In a few days, it is grandfathers birthday and a military order was handed down. If I didnt return, then he wouldnt recognize me, this grandson. Oh, by the way, why didnt you bring your wife? She couldnte because the young devil in my house was fiercely tossing her about. I really didnt think you be the first to marry. I always thought that Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi would be first down the aisle. Who said it wasnt? Oh yeah, Qin Zhi, when are you two marrying? Lou Yao Yao sprayed out her drink. Qin Zhi hurriedly pulled out a tissue and gave it to her. Perhaps he saw that Lou Yao Yaos expression was too shocked, as Dong Dong shifted the topic, I reckon well still have to wait two years. Lou Yao Yao is still studying. Right, wheres Nangua? I just called him. He said he was bringing someone. Bringing someone? A girlfriend? Crap. This development is really quick. Hes already leading her to see his family. Many people seemed to realize the indiscretion of thest remark, so with just a few words, they started to talk about another topic. Lou Yao Yao held her cup, in a little bit of a daze. Originally, everyone had seen very clearly. Only she was in the dark. Qin Zhi listened to the group talk, but didnt participate. Only when someone asionally asked him a question, would he reply with a few words. Most of the time, he was observing Lou Yao Yaos face. Her expression was calm. Other than the surprise at the beginning, she didnt have any other change in expression. If she had shown anger, then he could still say that they were joking. But, Lou Yao Yaos expression was too tranquil. Hepletely didnt know what was going through her mind right now. Perhaps, she simply didnt care. But such a peaceful Lou Yao Yao made him feel nervous. He had a bad premonition. What do you want to eat? Qin Zhi asked as he leaned down next to Lou Yao Yaos ear. She hadnt eaten much during dinner; she was definitely hungry. Lou Yao Yao shook her head. After sitting for a while, one would discover that Lou Yao Yao was abnormally silent. Everyones conversation gradually started to die off. Knowing she was affecting the atmosphere, Lou Yao Yao said she would go and sit at the bar. Qin Zhi originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by Lou Yao Yao. Seeing Lou Yao Yao leave, Dong Dong was baffled and pushed Qin Zhi, Yao Yao doesnt seem like herself, did you two fight? It should be so. Qin Zhi wasnt very definite. What should be so? Dong Dong stared at him, How long are you two going to y around? You still haventid your cards on the table? Qin Zhi wrinkled his brows, annoyed, and said, Later, dont mention these things in front of Yao Yao. Crap, whats the matter with you two? Dong Dong, let it rest. Another person, who was clearer about the situation, held onto Dong Dong and exined the circumstances to him. Qin Zhi looked at Lou Yao Yao sitting at the bar. Listening to his own story being told by someone else, he felt, even more, that hecked willpower. Having fled that lively atmosphere, Lou Yao Yao was sitting at the bar. She turned her head, and happened to meet Qin Zhis eyes. Qin Zhi was taken aback, before moving his gaze away. What would you like to drink? A gentle and maic voice awoke Lou Yao Yao out of her daze. Lou Yao Yao turned her head and politely addressed, Ruan dage. En, why are you sitting here by yourself? Did you fight with Qin Zhi? The one speaking was the boss of this bar, and was also Ruan Si Nans older brother, Ruan Wen Yu. Compared to enchantingly handsome Ruan Si Nan, Ruan Wen Yu was the same as his name. He appeared elegant and gentle. The feeling he gave people was like a warm piece of pure jade. No, Im angry at myself. Ruan Wen Yu, because of his age, didnt y with Lou Yao Yao and their group, but had a different circle of friends. However, because his temper was good, Lou Yao Yao often visited his bar and she especially liked chatting with him. Ruan Wen Yu started to give her a ss of wine with very low alcohol content. Suddenly he stopped, thought for a moment, then changed the ss of wine and pushed the new ss in front of her. Try it. Its a new blend. Lou Yao Yao obeyed his words and sipped. The wine was light and didnt taste of alcohol. She drank the rest before pushing the ss towards him for a refill. Why are you angry at yourself? Ruan Wen Yu poured her another ss. Im just thinking that Im so foolish. You really are a little foolish. Defying Lou Yao Yaos angry glower, Ruan Wen Yu smiled, and peacefully said, A girls tears and her anger have the same effect. Lou Yao Yao rolled her eyes at him. For a guy who cares about the girl, both emotions will cause him to feel sad. So an intelligent girl knows when to be angry and when not to be. After saying his piece, Ruan Wen Yu turned around, and continued mixing cocktails. (Editor Note: For whom? Me, I hope! Not that I can drink it T-T) As expected from the brother of that gossipy guy, Lou Yao Yao thought to herself. She pondered over his words; however, she just didnt understand. The advice seemed to be very reasonable, but she couldnt exin why. For a period of time, Lou Yao Yao sank into her own thoughts, when suddenly, that side became very lively. She turned her body to have a look. She saw that Ruan Si Nan had arrived when she hadnt noticed and he had brought along a petite female student. Lou Yao Yao thought the girl seemed familiar. The group was causing a ruckus. Ruan Si Nan was protecting that female student and saying something. Lou Yao Yao couldnt help but think of when she had first started to hang out with this group of friends. Qin Zhi had also protected her like that. She was the only female student among them, and her position had been rtively unusual. To be able to make a group of male students ept an intruder, especially since she was very troublesome, Qin Zhi naturally had to have put in a lot of effort. She hadnt thought of it before, but now she was at a loss. Seeing them, she kept on thinking of how Qin Zhi had always taken the me for her. How that group of male students would always indulge her, or scold her with anxious eyes. However, not a single one of them forced her to turn herself in. They clearly knew what had actually happened, but they still chose to protect her. They were her childhood friends. Despite however many wrongs she mightmit, they were always willing to be her support. But........in her heart, they had been unimportant to her. Because of a single Chen Hao, she had gradually be alienated from them. Until subsequently, there was almost no contact. Now she was.............ashamed. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. Tears fell down, pitter-patter. Dong Dong, who had juste out of the bathroom, saw this scene. He got scared and hurriedly rushed over to her, Jie, how are you? Did Qin Zhi bully you? Dong Dong, am I really annoying? Dong Dong tilted his head and thought a while. He solemnly nodded his head, You really are very annoying. Scram! What she thought was one matter. What other people said was another matter. Lou Yao Yao used her foot to kick him. (Looked up Chinese insults and the closest would have been about mothers... so not appropriate. The one I have put in is the next closest. Dont have to use it but I think it flows better and makes more sense) Hey, stop! Jie, youre the one who asked. Cant people speak the truth? Then why ask? Brothers, do you think Lou Yao Yao is very annoying? Do you even need to ask this? I havent seen a girl more annoying than her! A girl? Saying that shes a girl is too insulting towards females! Other than Qin Zhi, everyone stated simr opinions. Okay, why did she even bother feeling ashamed? Get the hell out! Lou Yao Yaos temper ignited. This group of scoundrels, would it hurt them if they didnt speak the truth? Would they die?! Quickly, the bar was in chaos. However, it was basically just Lou Yao Yao hitting while the others were hiding. An intelligent female would know when to be angry. An intelligent male would know when to enrage a female. FirePegasus: Maybe I should just change my posting time to Tuesday. Although I said I was going to post on Monday, I seem to never actually do so ?? Sorry. Chapter 14.1 - This Man is Already Mine Chapter 14.1 This Man is Already Mine Lou Yao Yao was sweating all over. The result was that she hadnt hit any of them once. On the contrary, she had tired herself half dead. She sat by herself, directing a killing re at them. That group of thick-faced guys naturally didnt care. They quickly put together two tables, then drank alcohol and yed mahjong 1. Qin Zhi and Ruan Si Nan were being isted at one side. However, Qin Zhi didnt say anything and sat by Lou Yao Yaos side, apanying her. In any case, whenever there was a party to y around, he never part of it. He was already used to it. However, Ruan Si Nan who was being being isted for the first time was very unsatisfied. In taunting mode, he mocked all of the people. The result was that all the people paid no attention to him. Perhaps she was ufortable being with a group of men. After looking all around, the girl that Ruan Si Nan brought along came over to sit by Lou Yao Yao. Qin Zhi saw this and conscientiously went away to leave some space for the two women. This woman was quite beautiful. Lou Yao Yao thought she looked quite familiar so she took the initiative to ask, What is your name? Qi Bei Bei. Her voice was soft and glutinous. It was very nice to listen to. Lou Yao Yao tried to remember where she had seen her before. But she felt sorry for her, unexpectedly having a boyfriend like Ruan Si Nan. As a result, her favorable impression of Qi Bei Bei shot up, Im Lou Yao Yao. Lets sing together. Qi Bei Bei naturally had no objection. The person stationed to sing recognized Lou Yao Yao and knew she was the boss friend. Therefore, (s)he tidied up her things and left her seat. Lou Yao Yao flipped through the electronic list. After flipping through for half a day, she asked, What do you want to sing? This song. Qi Bei Bei randomly chose a song. Lou Yao Yao looked and saw that she could a song she could sing. It was one of the ones she had added to the list. The guys only liked to sing a few songs. Every time they went out to y, it was Lou Yao Yao dominating the mike. Her personality was overbearing. When she sang the songs she had chosen, it was off-tune, causing that group of guys to mock her. She still sang with gusto. She had actually managed to train some knack for it. The songs that all girls choose were emotional love songs. The first song that Qi Bei Bei chose was Dont wait until I left to say that you love me. The singing of the two girls each had their own characteristics. Qi Bei Beis voice was gluttonous. Lou Yao Yaos voice was bright. Their voices blended together, enhancing each others singing. It was very euphonic. Lou Qing Qing wasnt a good female friend. In the past, when she had take Lou Qing Qing out to y, Lou Qing Qing was too timid. Forget singing together, whenever she spoke, she kept on stammering. This was her first time singing together like this with a female. After finishing the song, the two women nced at each other and smiled. Afterwards, they continue to sing, this time a song that Lou Yao Yao picked, A pity it wasnt you. However, the singing felt wrong. The listeners clearly heard the sadness in the singing. If one didnt know, then they would think that the two young women had been flung and were heartbroken. Not mentioning Lou Yao Yao, even Qi Bei Bei didnt appear to be in love! Qin Zhi and Ruan Si Nan suffered through countless nces as sharp as knives. It was depressing, listening to two sorrowful women sing. It would be better to watch two women drink wine. The two women were enthralled with singing, singing one song after the other. A song that Qi Bei Bei didnt know appeared, so Lou Yao Yao took the microphone to sing by herself. The sky started to clear, the clouds started to disperse, I cry in your embrace. I am prepared, my heart must shatter. Watching you leave helplessly......... This man was once mine. In the end, he belonged to someone else. I am willing to give you all, already you dont require it. I can feel that you have changed and be unhappy. This man was once mine........ This man was once mine........ Lou Yao Yao was singing this song with a wooden face. Rather than saying she was singing, she was reading the lyrics out loud. Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao heard someone call her, but she didnt know who called her. Her eyes were very clear but the faces of the people around herpletely didnt match up with her brain. What happened to her? Nothing, she just drank two cups of Sober. Shes likely to be drunk. Sober? No wonder! You let her drink that thing!? So noisy. Too many people were talking. Lou Yao Yao wrinkled her brows and looked all around. She didnt recognize any of them. Starting to be a little confused, she grasped the microphone in her hand and probingly shouted into it, Qin Zhi, where are you? Yao Yao, Im here. Lou Yao Yao was embraced by familiar arms. Her heart calmed down. Looking at Lou Yao Yao who was nested in Qin Zhis embrace and looking at them like strangers, Dong Dong said, Qin Zhi, go first and take her home. Qin Zhi nodded and held onto Lou Yao Yao while going outside. Seeing the two people leave, many people continuously praised Ruan WenYu for his great idea. Afterwards, they bet on whether Qin Zhi would be a animal2. Half of the people bet that he would, and the other half bet that he wouldnt. Like that they passed the time. Not in the mood to drink and chat, they decided to go eat a midnight snack. Ruan Si Nan didnt go and brought along Qi Bei Bei who had also decided to leave first. FirePegasus: Do you think Qin Zhi will have enough restraint to not do anything? Answer in thements. Chapter 14.2 - This man is already mine Chapter 14.2 This man is already mine Qin Zhi fetched the car. Lou Yao Yao absolutely refused to let go of him. Because of the alcoholic intoxication, Yao Yao heard everything he said but refused to listen to anything but what she wanted. Qin Zhi knew it was because of Sober. Sober was that bars specialty drink. The vor was light and it seemed to have none of the taste of alcohol; however, its kick was strong. After one got drunk, it would seem as though one had entered a dream. You could see, hear and think. She knew what she was doing, but she would only do what she desired to do. She couldnt control herself. Anything anyone else said to her would be of no use. Lou Yao Yao kept on agreeing, but she absolutely refused to let go of Qin Zhi. The staff saw this and approached to politely ask if he needed a recement driver. Qin Zhi was just about toply when Lou Yao Yao suddenly said, Qin Zhi, carry me. Perhaps, because she was aware of her bodys condition, her face continuously had a dull expression. After waiting a while, she didnt hear Qin Zhi reply. Lou Yao Yao uncertainly looked around everywhere, Qin Zhi. Sighing, Qin Zhi handed over the car key to the staff and said that he woulde tomorrow to retrieve the car. He bent down. Lou Yao Yao used her hands and feet to crawl on and held on tightly to his neck. Qin Zhi was having troubling breathing. He tried quite a few times; finally, Lou Yao Yao loosened her hold a little. 12 oclock had just passed. The streets were very peaceful. Going home, it seemed as though there were no pedestrians. Qin Zhi carried Lou Yao Yao on his back while slowly walking. The streetlights had cast their shadows very far. She ced her face by his neck. asionally, her face bumped into his skin. QIn Zhi thought that his self-control was good, but in this time it was hard to avoid indulging in fits of fancy. It was easiest to get an intoxicated person talking. But in the end, he didnt ask anything. Lou Yao Yaoy prone for a while, then started singing. She sang, This man was once mine. Singing on and on, her voice became lower and lower until she was inaudible. After a while, Lou Yao Yao said, I let him wait for me. Even though I deceived him, he definitely is still waiting for me. The words were clearly sad, but her tone waspletely serene. Lou Yao Yao thought aloud, Chen Hao deceived me. Lou Qing Qing also decieved me. Theyre all deceiving me. Qin Zhi understood little of it. He didnt know what she was referring to. Qin Zhi, do you still remember that you promised to wait for me to grow up. Lou Yao Yao moved around on his back. Qin Zhi hurriedly stabilized her, then said, I remember. Swindler. After saying this word, Lou Yao Yao didnt say anything else. Qin Zhi also didnt know what to say. A swindler? He truly was a swindler, but the only person he was deceiving was himself. Qin Zhi. En. Can you deceive me once again? Qin Zhi was silent. Qin Zhi, say that you wont wait for me. Yao Yao. Say you wont wait for me. After finishing saying this sentence, she cried. One by one her tears were falling down from his neck down to his chest. The tears were boiling hot. His voice became hoarse and he once again obeyed her wish. Alright, Yao Yao, I wont wait for you. Lou Yao Yao.........It this what you want? In the end, we havee to this? Lou Yao Yao didnt detect the difference in Qin Zhis voice. After hearing a satisfactory answer, she only replied, Really good. You wont wait for me. Yes. its really good. Qin Zhi unconsciously echoed her in a low voice. Louo Yao Yao heard him say this and softlyughed. She heard it. She really heard him say that he wouldnt wait for me. That was good. Qin Zhi, afterwards, Ill be with you. What? It was probably his delusion. You said you would wait for me to grow up. I already grew up. Why arent you saying anything? Qin Zhi started to suspect if Sober had a problem. In the past, he had always borne everything patiently, but now at this moment he had impulse to throw her off1. Qin Zhi, why arent you speaking? What do you want me to say? Say you like me. His mood was already fluctuating wildly because of her. Qin Zhi gave up in despair and went along with her, I like you. Ok, why was he being serious with a drunkard. When she woke up in the morning she would have forgotten everything. So, sometimes saying the truth would hardly matter. Really good. Lou Yao Yao smiled on Qin Zhis back, You cant renege on a debt. I wont renege on my debt. Qin Zhi, Ill sing for you. After Lou Yao Yao finished speaking, without waiting for him to answer, she started singing by herself. A man was once mine, he is still mine, in the future he will still be mine...... Her singing was off-tune and in a mess. However, her singing was very cheerful. She kept on repeatedly singing the lyrics that she had changed on the road. Qin Zhe expended a great deal of energy to carry her. A half an hours distance, even if Lou Yao Yao was light and he usually exercised, he was unbearably tired. Once he was at his home, he ced Lou Yao Yao down on the sofa. Lou Yao Yao was still singing that song. He helped her take off her shoes and brought a hot towel and cleaned her face, hands and feet. He also found pajamas, but then didnt know what to do. The shirt didnt need to be changed, but her pants had to be changed. Lou Yao Yao had worn jeans today. Sleeping in jeans would definitely be ufortable. He thought a while, then gave Lou Yao Yao the pajamas so that she could change herself. Lou Yao Yao listened for long time without perceiving anything he said. Just when he had decided to give up, Lou Yao Yao suddenly took off all her clothes then took the pajamas and put them on. Her speed was too fast. Qin Zhi didnt even have time to block her. Looking at Lou Yao Yao who was singing softly while lying on the sofa, Qin Zhi didnt know what to say. After entering the bathroom to change clothes and freshen up, Qin Zhi wanted to carry Lou Yao Yao into the room. In the end, when he had carried her there, Lou Yao Yao wasnt willing toe down. She held his neck tightly while wrapping her legs around his waist. Whatever, he did, she refused toing down. He could pull her down with brute force, however, he wasnt able to use force on her delicate arms and legs. Finally, he used sweet words to persuade her, Yao Yao, be good. You need to sleep. First, why dont you let go of my hand? En. En. Sleep. Lou Yao Yao nodded, but didnte down. Twice, they had reached a deadlock. Lou Yao Yao suddenly moved close to Qin Zhis ear and breathed out a warm breath, Qin Zhi, I already grew up. Her cheeks were dusted with red. Herrge pair of eyes blinked at him, looking shy and full of expectation. Qin Zhe was dumbfounded........Was this.........an invitation? Qin Zhi thought that his mouth was parched. Do you know what youre saying? The inside temperature was higher than the outside temperature, even the air seemed to be hot. Lou Yao Yao was so hot she felt ufortable. Her body seemed to be on fire. She twisted her body back and forth. Then she looked at him with moist eyes that looked at him piteously, Qin Zhi, Im ufortable. His reason finally copsed. He hugged her and fell on top of the bed. His body fit snugly with hers. Her legs were wrapped around his waist. Feeling the difference, they twisted around his body. The friction brought about a pleasurable sensation that made Qin Zhi gulp in a breath of cold air. Looking at Lou Yao Yaos misty eyes, Qin Zhi gulped in two deep breaths. However, he immediately was aware that that was bad decision. His body was so close to hers. When he was breathing, his chest was sticking even closer to hers. Was he an animal or even worse than a animal, this really was a problem....... When he was enduring silently with all his might, Lou Yao Yao suddenly moved closer and dropped a kiss on his lips, QIn Zhi, you are mine. Her expression that was half drunk and half sober was enchanting and charming. At that moment, he heard thest thread of reason in his head snap. FirePegasus: Sorry this chapter is sote. I was really busytely. First I was sick, then I had to take the ACT, finally I had finals. I only the chance to post this chapter now. Chapter 15.1 - Your Ending, My Beginning Chapter 15 Your Ending, My Beginning Lou Yao Yao seemed to have had a very good dream. When she woke, she felt content because good dream. However, no matter how hard she tried she wasnt able to remember what the dream was about. Her brain was in a state ofplete rxation. She rolled over twice on the bed. Her consciousness was gradually awakening. Immediately, she became aware that her body felt sticky. It must be because she hadnt washed. Originally, she wanted to sleep a little more. However, the feeling of stickiness was too much to bear. Lou Yao Yao rolled over twice. Only then was she willing to get up. The rm clock at the head of the bed read a little over 7 oclock. Lou Yao Yao got off the bed and searched around the bed for half a day, but wasnt able to find slippers. As a result, she was forced to walk on the floor barefoot. The ice-cold touch of the floor transmitted itself to her brain, letting her waking her up a little. Perhaps it was because it was too early, it made her step softly. She quietly opened the door. Sure enough, she saw Qin Zhi sleeping on the two-person sofa. He was still wearing yesterdays clothes which were now very disheveled. Two buttons on his shirt were unfastened, revealing his chest and the distinct muscles of his abdomen. Dawn came early during the summer. Despite lying in front of the window with curtains drawn closed, the sunlight was still ring. Perhaps, because he thought that the sunlight was ufortable, he used his arms to shade his eyes from the sun. He was obviously was the owner, but he was reduced to sleeping on the sofa. Lou Yao Yao noticed that he didnt have anything covering him. So she quietly crept back into the room and fetched a thick nket to put over Qin Zhi. After finishing this, Lou Yao Yao entered the bathroom. She didnt notice that after she had entered the bathroom, Qin Zhi removed the arm that was blocking his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, clearly he hadnt slept all night. After adjusting the water temperature, Lou Yao Yao took off her clothes. When she took off her nightclothes, she was shocked. Although the traces were very light, her shoulder had very distinct red marks. It wasnt just her shoulder, her corbone also had red marks. Lou Yao Yao was rmed and hastily removed all her clothing. Finally she discovered that she had red and purple traces all over her body, even the inside of her thighs had light marks. Lou Yao Yao stood in front of the mirror in a daze. Her skin was very tender. Normally, even if one used a little strength to pinch her, her skin would be red for a long time. There werent a lot of traces on her body, but her neck was full of red marks. With one look, one could tell they were hickeys. Last nights memory was slowlying back to her. She seemed to still feel the hot breath breathing on her neck and his warm lips licking and biting her. Dammit! Lou Yao Yao shivered and ran underneath the shower, letting the warm water wash away the strange feelings in her heart. The reason that Sober was called sober was because even though you were drunk, you were just half drunk and half sober. It wouldnt affect the thoughts and memories of the intoxicated person. Therefore, although the event ofst night were blurry, she hadnt forgotten them. She remembered that she sang with Qi Bei Bei. She was gradually immersed in her own thoughts. At that time, she was in a very strange state of mind. She was able to hear and hear the people next to her, but it was like being in a dream. She knew what she was doing, but she wasnt able to control any of her actions like in a dream. In a dream, when one was responding to people, their words and actions were the most honest. When Qin Zhi asked her if she knew what she doing; actually, she ........... was sober. She knew what she was doing and knew what she wanted to do. At that moment, she was prepared to face anything. Finally, Qin Zhi stopped shy of the very end. She didnt regret her decision. If she had to choose again, she would still choose to entrust herself to him. Lou Yao Yao discovered her heart was more honest than her. When she was still conflicted over the issue of her whether she loved him, her heart had already made the decision for her. Now, if she was still conflicted over the issue of whether she loved him or not, then she would think she had a problem. Wasnt toote to consider if she loved him when she had already entrusted herself to him? No matter the final conclusion, at the beginning, any girl wished that the first person she was with was the person she would hold hands for the rest of her life. Lou Yao Yao was no exception. Even she had some purity in her love. She had loved Chen Hao those many year, but she had never done anything improper. This was because from the beginning what she had wanted was one person for a lifetime, not strong emotions. Everyone said that distance led to one beautify the other person. She was too distant with Chen Hao so she was unable to see the facts and had thought that he would be her husband. Actually, if Lou Qing Qings ident hadnt happened, then it was possible that she would have be a runaway bride. Initially her heart only moved for a moment, it wasnt enough tost for a lifetime. Being in a daze and washing, unknowingly her shower had taken up half an hour. The skin on her fingers started to wrinkle. Lou Yao Yao turned off the shower and took a dry towel and started to dry herself. Looking at the various traces, she was getting more annoyed the more she dried herself. Didnt men think with their bottom half? How was he able to bear this? Was Qin Zhi a monster? Lou Yao Yao absolutely didnt acknowledge that she was frustrated. Actually.......if he had really done it, would shein that Qin Zhi didnt treasure her enough? Women were contradictory like this. Lou Yao Yao dried off all the water, only to notice that she had forgotten to bring a change of clothes. She could just wrap a towel around herself and go to the room to change clothes like she had done in the past. However, this was to be so awkward, especially when she had marks all over her. If he say them, what should she do? Okay. she was being unreasonable. She looked around in the bathroom. Other than a towel and the nightclothes she had just worn, there was nothing else to wear. Because of the weather, the bathrobe had already been put away. After dillydallying for a long while, Lou Yao Yao finally decided to go out with the towel around her. When she opened the door, she almost hit Qin Zhi. Lou Yao Yao panicked; her first instinct was to close the door. Qin Zhi was also scared by her. He realized that Lou Yao Yao hadnte out for a long time and decided to wait outside the door for her. When he was hesitating on whether or not to knock, Lou Yao Yao had opened the door. From his elevated angle, he could clearly see one side of of her snow white chest. He was a bit uneasy. When he saw that Lou Yao Yao was closing the door, his hand moved faster than his brain to block her. The two people stood in silence for a moment, not knowing what to say. It was Qin Zhi who moved first, moving his body so that Lou Yao Yao could get out. Lou Yao Yao saw this and practically fled to the bedroom. FirePegasus: My inte failed me so I was unable to post yesterday. Ill post two chapters today. Chapter 15.2 - Your Ending, My Beginning Chapter 15 Your Ending, My Beginning Seeing her reaction, Qin Zhi could guess that she already knewst nights matter. Originally, he had wanted to hide the truth from Lou Yao Yao. He hadnt realized that he had made so many traces. A moment ago, he had clearly noticed the traces on her neck and corbone. It was impossible for her not to have noticed. It seemed that the worst possible scenario had urred. Qin Zhi closed his eyes. A momentter he entered the bathroom as in the past and changed. After quickly showering, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. As a man, moreover a man pampered by his family, when he first moved out he didnt know how to cook. The first day of his move, Lou Yao Yao hade over to cook something in celebration. Not even mentioning the entire kitchen made into into a total mess by her, the food she made was inedible. Afterwards, Lou Yao Yao researched how to make food. In the end, Lou Yao Yao didnt know how to make anything; on the contrary, he had single-handedly improved his culinary skill. Actually, was that Lou Yao Yaos genuine goal? Qin Zhi couldnt help but smiling at the thought of Lou Yao Yaos small thoughts. Lou Yao Yao searched a long time for clothes. Finally, she found a high-necked shirt. In this weather, wearing this would be foolish, but she couldnt afford to worry about that. After wearing the clothes, she quietly opened the door and stuck her head outside the door to peek outside. Only when she discovered that Qin Zhi wasnt there was she reassured enough to walk outside. When she heard the sounds in the kitchen, she guessed correctly that Qin Zhi must be making breakfast. Lou Yao Yao peeked inside the kitchen and saw Qin Zhis back busily making breakfast. In the past she hadnt thought so, but now she thought it was sweet. Seeing Qin Zhi suddenly smile, Lou Yao Yaos heart impulsively made her act. Being suddenly hugged from behind by Lou Yao Yao, Qin Zhi was in daze, Yao Yao. En. Lou Yao Yao tightened her hands. Although it was spur-of-the-moment, once she had hugged him, she didnt want to let go. Qin Zhi drain the oil from the half-ripe egg and set it down on the te. He turned of the fire, then pulled off Lou Yao Yaos hands. Good, lets go eat breakfast. His body was warmer than hers. The scorching temperature of his hand on her made Lou Yao Yao unable to help but rememberingst nights events. She couldnt help but be a little shy. But she didnt want to let go, Let me hold on a little longer. QIn Zhi was silent, but didnt try again to pull off her hands. After a while, he said, Yao Yao, I dont want to continue on like this. What? Immersing herself in the sweetness between lovers, Lou Yao Yao was startled by him. Qin Zhi pulled off her hand and looked straight into her eyes, Yao Yao, lets talk about this. His expression was too calm. There was no trace of the expression of someone who was in love. Qin Zhi pulled her out of the kitchen. They sat at the two extremes of the two-person sofa. Qin Zhis expression was calm while Lou Yao Yao was confused. What this was about? Qin Zhi saw her confused expression and was somewhat unable to be cruel enough to do this, but he forced down his heartache and said what was on his heart, I didnt sleep at allst night because I was thinking a lot. I thought if you forgot, then I would pretend that nothing had happened. I havent forgotten. Lou Yao Yao unconsciously replied. Yes, you havent forgotten. Qin Zhi continued to speak. Sorry, Yao Yao. I cant continue to pretend nothing had happened. Last night you were really drunk, but I wasnt. I am very clear on what I did. What do you actually want to say? Could it be that him liking her was just her own self-delusion? But it didnt seem like to be like that. Lou Yao Yao was unsure. Yao Yao, perhaps you really think of me as a older brother, but I never saw you as my sister. I cant continue to deceive myself. Ah? Lou Yao Yao blinked her eyes. What situation was this? Perhaps you wanted to act as if nothing happened, but I cant. Lou Yao Yao, the next time something likest night happens, I wont be able to stop myself. Yao Yao, I dont want to deceive myself and apany you y this game of brother and sister together. In fact, when he left yesterday night, he regretted it. All night long, he had been struggling with himself. Lou Yao Yao continued to be stunned. After he had said everything in his heart, Qin Zhi felt more rxed. It could be finished with this. Lou Yao Yao was struck dumb for a long time, then finally said, You mean you thought that I wanted to act as ifst night never happened? Qin Zhi replied with silence. Lou Yao Yao was really angry. She raised her hand, but was unable to hit that silent face. She coldly said, Then what are you nning to do? We can maintain some distance afterwards. If you have something you can still look for me, but not as an older brother. It seemed to cost Qin Zhi a great deal to say those words. After he said this, his upright body seemed to suddenly lose all strength. He exhaustedly leaned back on the sofa. Pu In front of Qin Zhis questioning eyes, Lou Yao Yao couldnt help butugh. She wasughing and crying. Yao Yao. Qin Zhi wanted to approach, but in the end didnt move. Sorry, I was just too happy. Lou Yao Yao wiped her eyes, looked at Qin Zhi whose entire face was full of doubt and said, Have you finished saying everything? Then its my turn to speak. You think that I still like Chen Hao, right? Although Qin Zhi didnt reply, his expression showed his answer. Lou Yao Yao frowned, unsure of how to exin. You might not ept what I say. However, currently I really dont like Chen Hao. What I said yesterday night is true. I also knew what I was doing. Qin Zhi, I want to be together with you. I want to be your girlfriend. Lou Yao Yao finished speaking and waited for Qin Zhis reaction. However, his reaction was too calm. He was basically just expressionless. Lou Yao Yao couldnt help but be worried. She stared widely at him, looking straight into Qin Zhis eyes. You dont believe me? Believing her was a little difficult. After working so hard for so many years, to suddenly encounter a favourable turn of events so easily; rather than being pleasantly surprised, he was shocked. It made him unable to believe. However, Lou Yao Yaos expression and words were both serious, making him unable to help but want to believe. Seeing his indistinct look of hesitation, Lou Yao Yao clenched her teeth and suddenly pounced on Qin Zhis body. She held onto his neck and yelled, Arent you going to take responsibility for me? Ive been touched, hugged and kissed by you! What are you still thinking for? Qin Zhi, listen up. I like you! I like you! I like you! Lou Yao Yaos rage finally made Qin Zhi recover. He looked down at the girl in his arms with his face full of shock and joy, Yao Yao, was what you said real? Its fake! Lou Yao Yao tly denied it. She unexpectedly said she liked him, even if it was false, he still wanted to believe it. Qin Zhi really thought so at that moment. Looking at Lou Yao Yao pouting and had a face full of grievances sitting in hisp, Qin Zhi heart was mixed with all kinds of feelings. Was this finding a way out of an impasse 1? If he had known earlier, than he would have fallen down sooner. The look in his eyes was too overt, Lou Yao Yao felt ufortable because of his very grant stare. However, she had always followed her heart. After a moment of hesitation, she expectantly closed her eyes, tacitly epting his kiss. Her eyshes faintly trembled, tickling his heart. Qin Zhi caressed her face, lightly kissing her. Actually, in the past, when Lou Yao Yao was asleep, he had secretly kissed her many times. However, this was his first time kissing her when she was awake and sober. The taste was much better than in his imagination. She just gently pushed twice. She didnt stop him or reveal a expression of loathing. She even jerkily returned his kiss. He finally started to believe that she wasnt joking with him. Lou Yao Yao, I love you. If this was a dream, then he never wanted to wake. FirePegasus: So sweet~ They finally get together after so long. Thest sentence really touched my heart. Chapter 16.1 - Why bother making things difficult for yourself Chapter 16.1 Why bother making things difficult for yourself Their rtionship seemed be unexpectedly smooth. There was none of the setbacks and trials that they had anticipated. Everything went smoothly The two people mutually liked each other, making everything simple. However, perhaps it was too satisfactory, it made Lou Yao Yao who had great difficulty in love previously be anxious. After confirming their rtionship, other than the two people asionally engaging in intimate activities, they didnt progress any further. Their behavior wasnt very different from what it had been in the past. Perhaps it was because it was Lou Yao Yaos first time taking the initiative, when they interacted, Qin Zhi seemed to be the passive party. Even when they kissed, he first ascertained that Lou Yao Yao was willing. The feeling of being respected was good, but she always felt that it felt a little too good. Oh. Lou Yao Yao couldnt help but heave a sigh. Oh. Probably because she had heard Yao Yao sigh too many times, Tan Qin who was sitting next to Yao Yao couldnt help but sigh, Lou Yao Yao, if you have the time to sigh, you might as well focus on ss. Lou Yao Yao looked at the textbook that hadnt even been opened on the table. She propped up her chin, depressed, Tan Qin, Im quite worried. If you dont want to be even more worried, then you should concentrate on your textbook. Tan Qin was fully concentrated on the teacher on stage. The multitasking Tan Qin wrote notes while talking, Lou Yao Yao, have you forgotten that we have a test next week? What? Lou Yao Yao was somewhat shocked. Tan Qin finally nced at her. She speechlessly said, You unexpectedly actually forgot. She had thought that the reason that Lou Yao Yao studied so hardst week was for the test. Lou Yao Yao face-palmed. She really had forgotten. Thesest few days her brain was just filled with Qin Zhi Qin Zhi. Today, she didnt really want to go to ss. God! She was definitely going to fail. Seeing Lou Yao Yao pitifully lying down on the table, Tan Qin smiled, These next two weeks, take my notes and study hard. You probably wont be able to get a good grade, but passing wont be too difficult. Tan Qin, youre definitely my savior! Lou Yao Yao happily threw herself toward Tan Qin. Tan Qin held out a finger to repel her face and pushed her away. She used her eyes to indicate the teacher on top of the stage. Lou Yao Yao hurriedly behaved and sat properly. In the end, after behaving for a while, she started to be lost in her imagination again. Atst ss finished. Although it was already lunchtime, the burning hot weather made people lose their appetite. Walking along the sidewalks under the shade of a tree, it was hot enough to make people faint. The two people ultimately decided to go to a cold drinks shop inside the school and have desert. They looked for a vacant two person table and ordered two coconut milk tapioca pudding 1. Lou Yao Yao scooped out a spoonful and ate it. The coolness simply prated her heart. It was extremelyfortable. Although Tan Qin was also hot, her behavior wasnt as exaggerated as Lou Yao Yaos. She ate a little by little, slowly. It looked very refined. Lou Yao Yao gulped down a few spoonfuls to chase away the heat, then started to eat slowly. She suddenly thought of a problem. After finishing the sophomore year exams, it was time for internships. That was to say that she could enter her motherspany ahead of time. That was good. She was still worrying about studying clothing design. Entering thepany to study was definitely the best choice. The two people quietly thought about their own concerns. Tan Qin suddenly said, Yao Yao, are you in a rtionship? Lou Yao Yao blinked, How did you know? Tan Qin naturally touched the side of her neck. Lou Yao Yao immediately blushed. The hickeys on her neck had mostly vanished, there were only a few very light traces left. One could only see them up close. Seeing her expression, Tan Qin knitted her brows. Yao Yao, can I ask who you are seeing? Qin Zhi. Have you seen him? Toward her best friend, Lou Yao Yao didnt want to conceal her rtionship. Then again, she didnt need to hide it from anyone. She looked forward to marking Qin Zhi as hers. Tan Qins expression rxed, Ive seen him. What do you think hes like? She didnt know if it was her misconception, but Tan Qin felt like Lou Yao Yao had quickly praise him written clearly on her face. Tan Qin thought a while, but didnt know how to praise her good friends boyfriend. She couldnt bear to disappoint Lou Yao Yaos hopes so she said, He looked like a really good man. And then? Hes very good to you. Anything else? Hes very handsome. Tan Qin sighed. Her personality was indifferent. She was a little unable to bear Lou Yao Yao love-struck face. Originally, ording to her temper, she wouldnt say too much about her good friends love. However, she was worried that Lou Yao Yao was associating with Chen Hao and would be hurt by him so she asked. Now because of she had questioned Lou Yao Yao closely, she immediately regretted speaking too much. She immediately shifted the topic, Were you worried about this today morning? Yes. Is your rtionship not going well? No, its going too well. Lou Yao Yao propped up her cheeks with both hands. Tan Qin was somewhat puzzled, Then what are worried about? I think the development is too slow. Slow? Lou Yao Yao wasnt a loose girl. However, she thought that she had confirmed her rtionship with Qin Zhi. From the beginning, she had wanted their rtionship tost a lifetime. Qin Zhi wasnt a irresponsible person. So it would be fine to progress a step further. It was no embarrassment to think of this. It wasnt strange to have a need as a physically mature woman. But every time he teased her, he stopped short of thest step. It really made one spit blood2. . Why would she spit blood? She still slept apart from Qin Zhi. Did he have any awareness that he was her boyfriend? Could it be that she had to do a night assault!? Was what wrong that her need was unsatisfied? But, this type of thing could it be that she, a girl, had to start it? Was that being in too much of a hurry? Certainly, this kind of private matter, it would be better not to to tell Tan Qin. Although she had the tender skin of a 20 year old, her heart was already approaching 30 years old. It would be better not to poison another familys girl. Seeing that Lou Yao Yao didnt answer, Tan Qin didnt ask again. Originally, she wasnt curious about this. FirePegasus: Merry Christmas Eve. My Christmas Eve was somewhat boring and lonely as my dad is away. Hes with my grandfather who is ill and was on the verge of life and death. Luckily, my grandfather recovered, but my dad is going to be with him for some time. ?? I really miss him. How was your guys Christmas Eve? Chapter 16.2 - Why bother making things difficult for yourself Chapter 16 Why bother making things difficult for yourself After eating the coconut milk tapioca pudding, she really thought that sitting here toofortable. Lou Yao Yao didnt really want to leave so she ordered double skin milk1. Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao propped up her chin and had half-closed her eyes. She was lost in thought, when she suddenly heard a voice call her. She lifted her head to see a woman she didnt want to see at all. Lou Qing Qing who dressed simply and presented herself as she was2, said with a light smile, Originally you were here. I looked for you a long time. Her tone was exceptionally amiable. It seemed like the two people were close friends. It seemed as though their fight and being ndered by Lou Yao Yao not too long ago had never happened. Why are you looking for me? Lou Yao Yao raised her head and looked at her. Her face didnt have any expression. Lou Qing Qing appeared to not feel her indifference. She still smiled mildy and said This weekend you didnt return home. So Auntie had me deliver a package. ncing at the package that Lou Qing Qing ced on the table, Lou Yao Yao indifferently said, Thank you. Lou Qing Qing seemed very shocked that she would say thanks. The mask on her face even cracked for a moment. She looked at Lou Yao Yao with some astonishment. Lou Yao Yao took the package on the table then said to Tan Qin, Lets go. Okay. Tan Qin tidied up her books and politely nodded to Lou Qing Qing as she got up. Then she left the cold drinks shop with Lou Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao didnt care about this meeting. Because to her, Lou Qing Qing was an immaterial person. The gratitudes and grudges from her previous life had already died along with their deaths along with her feelings towards Lou Qing Qing. She didnt think of her as a older sister any more. There was nothing else than loathing. There was no need to continuously remember the people one loathed. Then one wouldnt be able to find ones own happiness. As her old rival, Lou Qing Qing could clearly sense Lou Yao Yaos change. She looked at the two girls holding hands and leaving with her fingernails practically buried in her palm. She suddenly felt like her heart was empty, as though something were important was slowly leaving. Tan Qin turned her head to nce back at her and saw Lou Qing Qing looking lost, standing there looking at them. Showing a faint smile, Tan Qin retracted her gaze. Women would forever understand each other better than men. Men would look and see her delicateness, her grievances. Tan Qin looked and saw her scheming, her idiocy. She provoked Lou Yao Yao to anger in order to make her look unreasonable and unruly. What seemed like a few idental sentences vaguely disclosed some information. That Lou Yao Yaos reputation was so notorious was not unrted with Lou Qing Qing identally disclosed words. Yet, Lou Qing Qing thought of herself as clever. Actually she was very stupid. If it was her, in such a family, she would do her best to maintain her rtionship with Lou Yao Yao. She wouldnt try to use her inferior status to try to enter social circles that were many levels higher than her. Draw back a step, even if she didnt have a good rtionship with Lou Yao Yao, with her grades, why should she stay in the student association to gain a good reputation? With that time she could have multiple jobs. Wouldnt that let her live innumerable times better than she did now? Besides, it would also pave the road for her future career. To say it coarsely, with her face, she didnt have to worry about food or clothing. But, to the contrary, she refused to let go of her hatred of Lou Yao Yao. What importance did it have? To make things so difficult for herself, what advantage did it have? Tan Qin lowered her eyes. She truly treasured her pure friendship with Lou Yao Yao. Originally, she was worried that Lou Yao Yao would be nned by that woman. Now she saw that Lou Yao Yao wouldnt be. In fact, recently Lou Yao Yao had changed greatly. However, being like this was good. After all, her family wasnt in this city. After graduating, she wouldnt have many opportunities to meet up with Lou Yao Yao. At that time, even if she wanted to help she would be unable to do so. Now that Lou Yao Yao herself could see through people, that was the best result. Besides..........Tan Qin looked at the person beside her whose face always seemed to have her emotions written on her face. Lou Yao Yao did what she pleased. In her heart, she envied that a little. Besides, at her side, she had one, one person who never abandon her. Moreover, they seemed to have a result. Would being a naive woman be more happy? Perhaps. However, innocence wasnt something every woman could have. Because, undoubtedly, behind every naive woman was a courageous man giving her naivety. FirePegasus: Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all enjoy your Christmases. Chapter 17.1 - Nobody loves you more than I do Chapter 17 Nobody loves you more than I do When Ruan Si Nan wandered past again, even Qin Zhi whose patience was astoundingly strong was irritated. The entire afternoon, this guy seemed like a fly. He buzzed and circled restlessly nearby. What do you want? Qin Zhi closed the document and leaned back into his chair. Ruan Si Nan continued to circle very seriously. When Qin Zhi was already full of impatience, he finally said, Say, why would a woman who clearly likes you reject you? You bothered me this entire afternoon for this? Qin Zhi had a headache and pressed his temples, Dont you always brag that you understand women the most? Why would you ask me? This. Cant you see that Im very worried. Youre my best brother1, unexpectedly, youre so indifferent to your best friend. Arent you ashamed of yourself? Qin Zhi wasnt even a bit ashamed. He just expressionlessly looked at Ruan Si Nan. Ruan Si Nan reluctantly spread out his hands, Forget it, I also didnt expect you this blockhead, toe up with anything constructive. Come on, apany your frustrated brother in drinking. Qin Zhi lifted his hand to check his watch. When he looked at his left wrist and the string with blue stones on it, he suddenly remembered that he didnt have a wrist watch. This bracelet was exquisite and attractive, but on a mans wrist it was unavoidably a little odd. But because it was Lou Yao Yao who helped him wear it, even if he faced everyones astonishment and mocking gazes, he still wouldnt take it down. Drawing his shirt cuff up to obstruct the bracelet from view, Qin Zhi looked up to see the clock on the wall. Then he said, I cant today. Later, I have to go pick up Lou Yao Yao. Pick up Lou Yao Yao....... Ruan Si Nan stroked his chin and looked at Qin Zhi oddly, Say, recently when you leave thepany early, it wouldnt be to pick her up? Qin Zhi was disinclined to care about him. He continued to read documents. Thats not right. It isnt the weekend. Why would you pick up Lou Yao Yao? It could be that......you guys are living together? Ruan Si Nans expression was a little shocked. He looked at Qin Zhi like he couldnt believe this, It couldnt be that something happened between you two that I dont know about? Seeing that Qin Zhi wasnt paying any attention, Ruan Si Nan stroked his chin and pretended to be a detective. Although in thest meetup, Lou Yao Yao was drunk and their crowd of friends had created a disturbance to bet whether Qin Zhi would be a beast; actually, they were just messing around. They all knew in their hearts that Qin Zhi absolutely wouldnt do anything. Because with, Lou Yao Yaos personality, if something ured when she didnt want to do anything, then she would definitely hate Qin Zhi, hate him forever. How could Qin Zhi do anything that would make Lou Yao Yao hate him? But, the event that could let the feelings between the two elerate, the greatest possibility was......normally living together. In any case, they already lived together during the weekends. There was nothing strange about them living together when it wasnt the weekend. Actually those two were reallyughable. They had already lived together these many years; however their rtionship was unexpectedly chaste. If it was said out loud, who would believe it? If Lou Yao Yao was unable to see clearly, then Qin Zhi was pitiful. That was because everyone knew that the only reason that Qin Zhi lived there was so that it would be more convenient for Lou Yao Yao. When Qin Zhi first moved in there, they called that ce Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yaos sweet nest. Wasnt it Lou Yao Yao who initially said that as it only had one bedroom, friends wouldnt be able to disturb them? Those two were a perfect match. One obviously had someone she like, but she refused to let go of him. One was suffering to the point of death, but refused to voluntarily let go of her. That Lou Yao Yaos personality changed to be like this had a lot to do with Qin Zhis indulgence. Heavens! Ruan Si Nan face-palmed. Why did couldnt he help gossiping when he saw other people matters, but didnt want to understand his own matter. Seeing Ruan Si Nan leaving the office with a face full of bitterness, QIn Zhi finally rxed. Why did he have such a friend? However, this woman who clearly didnt like you, but insisted on associating with you, why was that?2 I think this is typo. In the beginning it said like, but now it says doesnt like. Im not sure which is correct. Perhaps it wasnt wanting to understand, but wanting to know an answer. After packing up everything, Qin Zhi took his car key and left the office. Hispany was located in the 27th floor of thismercial building. The time riding in the elevator wasnt short. It was good that it wasnt the peak time, moreover, he used the high-level special-purpose elevator. At this time, the possibility of bumping into someone was low. However on the 15th floor, he unexpectedly encountered someone. Qin Zhi distractedly waited for the 15th floor person to board the elevator. He saw the opposite party and was surprised. Chen Hao quickly curbed the surprise on his face. He hung a warm smile on his face and said, Qin Zhi ge. En. Qin Zhi nodded his head. His expression was as cold as before. In a single elevator, were the two men that to a certain extent understood each other the most. Their encounter seemed to be very ordinary with no great waves, but their confrontation had never stopped. Only they were clear in their heart specifically how they dueled. Suddenly a ring broke the silence, singing the cover song, This man was once mine. Chen Hao eyes shed. He was very familiar with this sound; it was clearly Lou Yao Yaos. Qin Zhi took out his phone. When he looked at the familiar name, his constantly ice-cold face finally had a happy expression, Hi, Yao Yao. Qin Zhi, are you still at thepany? I am at home now. Why dont you pick me up after dinner? Okay. Thats settled then. See you this evening. See you in the evening. After the phone call, the elevator fell into silence again. After going down a floor, Chen Hao went out of the elevator first. Then he discovered that Qin Zhi hadnt gone out of the elevator. The elevator doors closed with a ding. The other partys cold indifference unconsciously made Chen Hao clench his fist. It was always like this. That crowd of guys who considered themselves infallible always regarded him as a clumsy mischief-doer. A foreign businessman. A rich upstart. Those twobels were like two immovable mountains, exerting a killing pressure on him. Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao revealed a neurotic smile. Even if they were even more arrogant, what use would it be. Ultimately they would all be defeated at his hands. Continue to pretend, one day, you must kneel on the ground and beg me. Actually, overthinking was a sickness. FirePegasus: I think Chen Haos sickness is beyond curing. But its okay. He can get together with Lin Fei and they can just infect each other. Chapter 17.2 - No one loves you more than I do Chapter 17 No one loves you more than I do Taking out his phone, Chen Hao dialed that phone number. However, it was the system message, Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unable to meet your call. Please dialter. Chen Hao clenched his fist with a cold face and his phone produced a kaka sound. On the other side, Lou Yao Yao hung up and opened her cklist. When she saw the series of identical phone number, she couldnt help revealing an expression of loathing. It was really hrious. In the past, he had called her on his own initiative just a handful of times,but these few days the number of times he had called her was equal to the number of all the previous times. She put down her phone and continued to sort out her clothes. After determining her rtionship with Qin Zhi, she usually lived with Qin Zhi. Finally, she discovered that she didnt have enough clothes to wear in the closet, so she chose a day to go back home and pick up some clothes. After filling two suitcases, she unwillingly called a stop. It wasnt that she wasnt willing to take more, but Qin Zhis house didnt have enough space. However, she didnt want to move. After all, they had lived there so many years. Also, although a big house was good, it wasnt as warm as a small house. When Fang Xilei and Lou Yuanzhi entered the house, they saw two suitcases next to the shoe rack. Lou Yuanzhi had no reaction, but Fang Xilei frowned. Lou Yao Yao was apanying the two aunties by watching television. She saw her parentse back and beamingly greet them. After dinner, Fang Xilei called Lou Yao Yao upstairs. Whats with the two suitcases downstairs? The mother and daughter pair sat on Lou Yao Yaos bed. Lou Yao Yao leaned her head on her mothers shoulder, Mom, I want to move out. Move out? En. Mom, I want to live with Qin Zhi. When she said this, Lou Yao Yao was somewhat nervous. Fang Xi Lei wasnt actually surprised. She pulled Lou Yao Yao upright, looked at her daughter and said, Yao Yao, are you dating Qin Zhi? En. Thick-skinned Lou Yao Yao blushed under her mothers gaze. Even if a woman skin was thick, when discussing emotional matter with her mother, she would always be shy. Fang Xilei sighed and brushed Lou Yao Yaos bangs off to the side. Yao Yao, have you truly decided? Lou Yao Yao bit her lip and said, Mom, are you going to stop me? If you are determined to do this, then mom wont stop you. But I still dont want you to do this. Mom, I know you worry for me, but....... Lou Yao Yaoy in Fang Xileis arms and said softly, I believe that in this world, there wont be another man who loves me like Qin Zhi Fang Xilei had known Qin Zhi as long as Lou Yao Yao. You could say that she had watched the two children grow up. She was very clear how Qin Zhi treated Lou Yao Yao. Yet in matters of love, no one could rashly surmise the ending. Perhaps, their rtionship was good now, but it didnt represent that their rtionship would be good in the future. Moreover, her daughter was just 20 years old. There still many days awaiting them, how could she give up her daughter to a man. Even if the other party was even better, she still wouldnt be willing. However, her daughter had grown up. She already had her own determination. It was impossible to continue to prevent her daughter from loving. Furthermore, Qin Zhi was someone that truly let one be reassured. Fang Xilei couldnt help but remembering another person. If it was Chen Hao, she definitely wouldnt agree. The mother and daughter pair spoke of intimate matters in their little nest. Lou Yao Yao originally wanted to ask about her mothers feelings toward her father, but, after all, Lou Yuanzhi was her father. Other than his personality having a problem, he hadnt done anything too excessive. On what basis could she criticize her parents sentiment. Ultimately, Lou Yao Yao swallowed a lot of words down. Her mother wasnt a small child. She knew what to do. ording to her mothers personality, if Lou Yuanzhi ever did anything unfair to her mother after their marriage, then wouldnt they have already divorced? Furthermore, if her parents broke up because her father was indifferent to her, wasnt that too presumptuous of her? In the final analysis, Lou Yuanzhi was very good to Fang Xilei. He probably wasnt satisfied that Fang Xilei gave birth to a girl. In the end, Lou Yao Yao told Fang Xilei about her desire for an internship. Fang Xilei listened to her reasoning and didnt hesitate. She agreed to let her enter the design department. When Qin Zhi came it was already close to eight oclock. Qin Zhi helped carry the suitcase to the car trunk. Lou Yao Yao sat in the passengers seat and waited for Qin Zhi. In the reflector, Lou Yao Yao saw Fang Xilei and Qin Zhi standing by the car trunk and saying something. Their voices were too low, she wasnt able to hear anything. She waited for Qin Zhi to board the car and smilingly asked him, What did you talk about with my mom? Why dont you guess? Perhaps because his mood was too good, Qin Zhi unusually cracked a joke. Seeing Qin Zhis smiling face, Lou Yao Yao moved over and kissed his face, Humph, now youre finished. If you dare have illicit rtions but abandon meter, then Ill stay at your familys house and refuse to leave. Later, you wont be able to do anything. Then I need to hurry and inform my mother not to let you in the next time she sees you. Haha, your mother wont refuse to let me in. Lou Yao Yao was like the second child in Qin Zhis family. She was treasured. If the two of them quarreled, it was uncertain who would be refused to be let in. Qin Zhis mother longed for her to marry into their family. Thinking of this, Lou Yao Yao was dazed. In fact, probably everyone was aware of their feelings, only she didntpletely understand. Seeing that Lou Yao Yao suddenly fell in a daze and stopped speaking, Qin Zhi also didnt speak again. He always thought it was a little unrealistic. Lou Yao Yao truly wanted to live together with him. She wasnt jesting or cracking a joke? He couldnt help but remember the words that Fang Xilei had just said. I originally didnt approve of Lou Yao Yao moving out. However, Lou Yao Yao that in this world there wont another man who loves her more than you do. Do you think you can live up to those words? Of course. How could there be someone who loved Lou Yao Yao more than he did in this world? Qin Zhi was very self-confident regarding this point. Lou Yao Yao, there isnt anyone who loves you more than I do. Qin Zhi couldnt help smiling. Regardless what had brought on Lou Yao Yaos change, he had to treasure this opportunity. He would hold on to it. He wouldnt drop it. FirePegasus: So sweet. Qin Zhi, I believe you. No one will ever love Yao Yao like you do. Chapter 18.1 - Banquet Chapter 18 Banquet Lou Yao Yao stood in front of a floor-length mirror. She tried to pull up the zipper at her back for an age, but finally failed. She lowered her head and looked at her belly. Ever since she had fully moved in with Qin Zhi, she had eaten various kinds of delicious foods every day. Unknowingly, she had ate until she was a little fat woman. The dress that she had bought a few days ago, was now unexpectedly a little tight. She put down her hand, discouraged. Lou Yao Yao pouted and raised her voice to call Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi who was standing outside waiting for her, walked in baffled. Lou Yao Yao hurled an usation at him, Its your fault! See how fat Ive be. Qin Zhi sized her up and down. Finally his line of sight fell on Lou Yao Yaos back. The zipper was only half-way closed, revealing arge expanse of snow-white flesh. He seemed to be able to imagine that wonderful feeling. Qin Zhi coughed, then said, How are you fat? I dont see any difference. Lou Yao Yao raised her arm without the slightness awareness of being taken advantage of, then held his hand and pressed it on her belly. Feel it. Theres so much fat. How am I not fat? Qin Zhisrge palm was pressed onto Lou Yao Yaos belly by her hand. He pretended to touch her two times. With his expression unchanged, he said, It seems that it is a little fat. Lou Yao Yao raised her arm and pinched her arm saying, Look, there is lots of fat here too. Then do you want to lose weight? Qin Zhi asked her. Actually in his heart, he didnt have the slightest desire for her to lose weight. He has nurtured the meat on her body with great difficulty. It would be a great pity to lose all of it. Girls always loved being thin, however, he prefered Lou Yao Yaos plumpness. It was reallyfortable to hug. Lou Yao Yao stared at Qin Zhi, wavering between thinness and delicious food. She asked him, If Im fat will you not want me? Of course not. Qin Zhi denied. Lou Yao Yao turned her head back to look at the female in the mirror, satisfied. Her original sharp chin had turned round. With her pair ofrge and round eyes, her entire face had be round and plump like a white baozi1. However, it looked better than that thin and sharp face in her memory. It seemed that it was okay to not lose weight. Forget it, she could just eat lesster. Lou Yao Yao dispelled the idea of losing weight and prompted Qin Zhi to help her. Help me pull up the zipper. A little unwillingly, Qin Zhi removed his hand that was on her belly. He helped her zip up the back of her formal dress. After getting ready and bringing the gifts they had prepared beforehand, the two set out. Today was Dong Dongs grandfathers 80th birthday. Old people always liked peace and quiet so in previous years, his birthday had been celebrated by invited a few close friends to his house to eat a meal. Perhaps because he was getting old and his old friends were all leaving this world one after the other, unavoidably, it seemed quiet and lonely. Therefore, he didnt stop his children from preparing arge party. Lou Yao Yao had lived in her grandfathers house more than she had in her parents house when she was young. Although she was mischievous, she would acted like a spoiled child. She was quite liked by these old people and was frequently praised as betterpared to their own grandchildren. Because of this, girls that were the same age as her didnt like one iota. Other peoples children are always better than their own. Actually, Lou Yao Yao was innocent. If it wasnt your own familys child, then who would worry about that child. On one hand, these old people liked Lou Yao Yao being so lively and stirring up trouble, but on the other hand, they strictly enforced adys education for their own girls. If those girls really were like Lou Yao Yao and behaved like a monkey, jumping up and down, then they would presumablyin that their granddaughter wasntdylike enough. However, Lou Yao Yaos grandfather didnt care at all if his granddaughter was notdylike. In the end, Lou Yao Yao grew up being both envied and despised by those girls. Dong Dongs grandfather was 80 years old this year. He was hard of hearing, but refused to use a hearing aid. In order to speak with him, you had to raise your voice for a long time, only then would he understand. When Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi arrived at the hotel hosting the birthday banquet, they saw a female speaking with Dong Dongs grandfather. The result was that Dong Dongs grandfather turned his back on her. This female was familiar person. It was Lin Fei, Chen Haos childhood sweetheart. Lou Yao Yaos ill-intentionedughter caused Lin Fei to re. Lou Yao Yao was toozy to care about her. She and Qin Zhi walked up together. Dong Dongs grandfather was at the head seat and was still talking with his old friends. They were all elderly people and easily drowned out the sound of birthday wishes by speaking loudly at the top of the voices. Lou Yao Yao bent down and tilted her head to enter his line of sight and yelled, Grandfather.2 When Dong Dongs grandfather saw Lou Yao Yao, his elderly face immediately creased into a smile, Oh, its Yao Yao yatou.3 Grandfather, happy birthday. Lou Yao Yao took a few steps back and said a few stereotypical birthday congrattions. Dong Dong grandfather seemed to have not heard clearly. He opened his eyes wide and looked nk, Ah? Yao Yao yatou, what did you say? Although the elders who came first didnt care, the girls who were the same age and had previously lost face looked at Lou Yao Yao mockingly. Lou Yao Yao seemed to have not seen the ridicule of those people. She patiently repeated again her words in a loud voice. Dong Dongs grandfather seemed to not have heard clearly, so Lou Yao Yao repeated her words once more. Her clear voice spread throughout the entire hall. Haha, good child. Come and sit with grandfather and chat. Dong Dongs grandfather had the waiter add a seat beside him. Without refusing, Lou Yao Yao rolled her eyes and sat next to him. Chapter 18.2 - Banquet Chapter 18 Banquet Waiting for Lou Yao Yao, Dong Dongs grandfather seemed to have just discovered Lin Fei and said indifferently, Oh, its the yatou from the Lin family. This attitude was vastly differentpared to how Lou Yao Yao was treated. Although Lin Fei was arrogant, in front of Dong Dongs grandfather, she didnt dare re up. She offered birthday congrattions again in a soft voice. Dong Dongs grandfather nodded his head without much expression on his face. After Lin Fei left, Qin Zhi went up and said a few sentences to Dong Dongs grandfather. Because Qin Zhi was someone he had seen grow up, Dong Dongs grandfather was kind and didnt make thing difficult for Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi said hello to Lou Yao Yao, then went down from the table first. Lou Yao Yao poked Dong Dongs grandfathers arm and muttered, Grandfather, you did it intentionally just now. Dong Dongs grandfather continued to pretend to be deaf, Ah, Yao Yao yatou, what did you say? Several old people around them allughed. Lou Yao Yao also couldnt helpughing. How was Dong Dongs grandfather unable to hear? He was doing it deliberately. Although old people were old, their hearts was clear. Who was sincere and who was fake, he could see it all clearly. Seeing Lou Yao Yaoughing happily in front, the girls below all hated her even more and gritted their teeth. After that, Lou Yao Yao sat at the head table and apanied the old people, chatting. Several old people deliberately pretend to be hard of hearing. She didnt care and shouted while speaking to them. If this was before, she probably wouldnt have done this because she was afraid of people ridiculing her. But she had been reborn, at first raw,ter ripe1. She was willing to keep on talking with them. If her losing face made these old people a little happier, then why not do it ? Moreover, facts have proved that those who spoiled her like her. They wouldnt stop spoiling or liking her because of rumors so why care. With this mentality, Lou Yao Yao won more favor from the old people. As for these girls who were trained as sessful public figures and were educated as a virtuous woman from a young age, to make them talk to the old people in a loud voice so that their faces were red from effort was probably too difficult for them to do. Thus, without a doubt, Lou Yao Yao became an alien. Bootlicker! Lin Feis sentence met with countless girls approval. Other than ttery, what could Lou Yao Yao do? However, even if they were blue with anger it wouldnt have any effect on Lou Yao Yao. Nearly all the guests had arrived and begun sitting. With Lou Yao Yaos ranking in seniority, even though her rtionship with Dong Dongs grandfather was good and she wouldnt be relegated to another hall, she could at most only have a seat in the main hall. In the end, she was dragged to a seat at the host table by Dong Dongs grandfather. Lou Yao Yao was not pretentious. If he wanted her to sit, then she would sit. Before the banquet started, everyone first ate a bowl of longevity noodles2. Only after eating the noodles could the banquet start. The noodles were in a clear soup with some chopped green onions. The taste was very nd. After waiting for Dong Dongs grandfather to pick up his chopsticks and have the first bite, Lou Yao Yao who had been long been hungry quickly ate up the long noodles. Because all the people at her table were old people, the food was all light nutrients with easy digestion being the focus. What Lou Yao Yao ate recently was all oily foods, she was unused to such light dishes. Seeing Lou Yao Yao moving her chopsticks only a few times, Dong Dongs grandfather said, Yao Yao yatou, you spend a day with us old men. You must be bored. Go downstairs and find Dong Dong and y with them. This floor was filled with middle-aged or old men taking advantage of the banquet to talk about official business or private matters. They wouldnt leave the table in a short period of time. Lou Yao Yao was still young and couldnt bear such stiff atmosphere. After thinking about it, she didnt refuse. After arranging a time to go to Old Town and visit them, Lou Yao Yao left the table. After she left, one old person said, Yao Yao, this yatou, I havent seen her for some time and shes be a lot steadier. It really it so. What a pity. That Qin familys boy getting a bargain3. Dong Dongs grandfather said this very indignantly. In the beginning he had favored Lou Yao Yao and Dong Dong being together. However Dong Dong failed to live up his expectations and gave his granddaughter-inw to another person. Qin Zhi saw Lou Yao Yao leave the table and left with her. WIth a natural expression, he held her hand and asked, Are you going back? Lou Yao Yao touched her t stomach, Going downstairs to the ball to eat something. I havent eaten anything. Qin Zhi naturally had no objections. Dong Dongs family invited a lot of people for this birthday banquet. There was even a ball set up downstairs for the young people. The senior generation were basically all upstairs while the younger generation were basically all gathered downstairs after offering birthday congrattions. Lou Yao Yao wore a natural and simple white princess dress today. She didnt need to change clothes again. Qin Zhi didnt need to change. Being male was much more convenient, just by wearing a suit, they could go to nearly any banquet. While waiting for the elevator, Lou Yao Yao suddenly pinkie-promised and said, Qin Zhi, if one day I be hard of hearing, you cant feel its bothersome. You should say what you want to say a few more times. Dont ignore me because I cant hear you. Like Dong Dongs grandfather, though he wasnt actually hard of hearing, he just wanted people to apany him to talk. Unfortunately, those people were all too impatient. Qin Zhi looked at her thoughtfully, then lowered his head to kiss her forehead. He smiled as he said, Then you cant think Im bothersome in the future. Okay. Lou Yao Yao nodded with a smile. When they went downstairs, they found a seat in the corner. Qin Zhi had just give Lou Yao Yao a te of snacks when he was dragged off by Dong Dong and the others to be interrogated. Lou Yao Yao sat in the corner by herself, slowly eating the snacks. She ignored the various gazes fixed upon her and ate her snacks in satisfaction. After finishing thest snack and wiping her mouth, she saw a hand in front of her. This beautiful youngdy, are you willing to dance with me? Perhaps it was because of the light, Lou Yao Yao felt that the scene in front of her was dazzling. He bowed and extended his hand toward her with that gentle smile that once made her be infatuated with him on his face. She had once lost to that smiling face. He was not very handsome, but his smiling face made people captivated. Lou Yao Yao had never seen anyone whose smiling face looked better than him. But that day at Lou Qing Qings funeral, he also smiled like that. It was absolutely horrifying. FirePegasus: Chen Hao is really terrifying. To be able to smile the same way at his own lovers funeral. She was even pregnant with his child. Doesnt he have human feelings? Chapter 19.1 - Three Slaps Chapter 19 Three ps Lou Yao Yao lowered her head and concealed the loathing in her eyes. She ced her hand in his hand. Its my honor. It was indeed an honor. To be remembered by such a man. When Chen Hao led Lou Yao Yao onto the dance floor, the originally lively dance floor became silent in an instant. All the people who were enjoying the show looked at Lin Fei sitting at the side. Lin Fei didnt disappoint their expectations and rushed over immediately. However, her two friends who by her side stopped her. After all, if Lin Fei made a scene at this asion, as her friends, they would also lose face. However, they, who were thinking like that, didnt realize that tugging and pulling at Lin Fei also made them lose face1. Dong Dong and the others who were questioning Qin Zhi also fell silent. All the men simultaneously looked at the dance floor. Qin Zhi notected their change and also looked over. His face originally still had a small smile on i,t but that smile faded. Looking at this scene, everyone had different thoughts. When the two people entered the dance floor, thest song had just ended. When they got into position, Lou Yao Yao stepped on Chen Haos foot. Then she said in surprise and apology, Im sorry. I didnt mean to step on you. Did I hurt you? Its fine. Chen Hao pulled a face and wondered if it was just his imagination that Lou Yao Yao had used all her strength to step on him. Quickly, he discovered that it wasnt just his imagination. Lou Yao Yao didnte to dance. She made itpletely clear that she came to step on him. Almost every other step, Lou Yao Yao stepped on Chen Haos foot. Her expression was apologetic and innocent, but she used all her strength when stepping on him. This scene was seen by everyone. Imperceptibly, more and more people left the dance floor. There was soon a vacuum around Chen Hao and Lou Yao Yao. Even if it was a mistake, it was impossible to step on his entire foot, right? Chen Hao frowned and almost failed to maintain that perfect smile on his face. He finally couldnt help but asking, Yao Yao, did I make you angry? You should ask when did you not make me angry. Lou Yao Yao blinked herrge eyes at him and smiled. Is it because I didnt pick you up at the appointed time on my birthday? Chen Haos expression was somewhat helpless. He smiled bitterly, You know Lin Feis temperament. If I dont pick her up first, who knows what she will do? If you hadnt mentioned this, I would have forgotten about it. Lou Yao Yao sneered, Chen Hao, dont you think you are being ridiculous? Lin Fei is your real girlfriend. Why are you exining to me? It was always like this. He revealed a helpless and forbearing expression. It made people unconsciously sympathize with him. Then he began to speak but hesitated, so that she always felt that she was different. Otherwise, why would he exin things to her again and again? With Lou Yao Yaos pride and self-esteem, originally, she wouldnt have liked a man with a girlfriend. However, everyone could see that Chen Hao wasnt with Lin Fei voluntarily. Like the other girls deluded by Chen Hao, Lou Yao Yao felt that Lin Fei wasnt worthy of Chen Hao. If it wasnt for Lin Fei forcing him with the threat of her death, why would he be together with her? Their rtionship was destined to be short. Chen Hao also once vaguely said that he wished Lin Fei to find someone who really loved her. That was why Lou Yao Yao was willing to wait. This waitingsted for two years. At the cost of her own life, Lin Fei ended her rtionship with Chen Hao. Thinking about it now, it really wasnt worth it for Lin Fei. Perhaps, even Lin Fei was just a tool for Chen Hao. A tool to make him look better. Look, that obstinate girl named Lin Fei repeatedly attempted suicide for him. Look, that arrogant and wilful girl named Lou Yao Yao is hanging on to him despite him having a girlfriend. Look that weak girl named Lou Qing Qing unexpectedly dares to rob her meimei2, who always bullied her, of her man. One woman after another had be his decorations. People would think that he must be an excellent man for so many girls to chase after him. It was their group of foolish women who created this outstanding man who could confuse tens of thousands. In Chen Haos life, Lou Yao Yao was just a supporting role. Even without her, there would still be other Lou Yao Yaos. One should say that in Chen Haos life, there was no heroine. Everyone was a supporting role. Lin Fei died. Lou Qing Qing died. In the end, even she died. Had this kind of man ever really loved anyone? Right now the only thing Lou Yao Yao was rejoicing about was that in Chen Haos show, she was just a dispensable supporting role. Lou Yao Yao lowered her head and hid her expression. Therefore, Chen Hao didnt know what she was thinking about at that moment. He thought she was just spitefully saying angry words. After he heard her word, with a mncholy face and faltering voice, he said, Yao Yao, I........ I.........I what? Lou Yao Yao came back to herself and ruthlessly trampled on his foot. Look, this was the man she once loved. Once, he only had to show such a helpless expression and she couldnt help but be tender-hearted. She couldnt but keep on finding excuses for him. He couldnt bear to shed all pretense of cordiality with Lin Fei. Lou Yao Yao thought he was very kind. He took care of every single girl. Lou Yao Yao though he was just too much of a gentleman. Really was...........Thinking of it made one be crazy. That she had once liked such a man, she was also crazy! Chen Hao, I dont care what cheap tricks you use. From now on, I dont want you toe bother me again. I have no interest. After speaking this sentence, Lou Yao Yao stepped back and looked at him coldly, Thank you for dancing with me for this dance. This is a gift for you. After that, she raised her hand and ruthlessly pped Chen Hao. From now on, this person had nothing to do with her. He better not provoke her. Otherwise, with the resentment from the past life, she would let him go to hell. Her p didnt just stun Chen Hao; it stunned all the party guests. The dance hall was silent for an instant. Very quickly, it became lively again. Those talking went back to talking; the dancers went back to dancing. It was as though Lou Yao Yao pping Chen Hao hadnt ever urred. There was only the asional scornful gaze toward Chen Hao. That this strike water right and left3 man finally fell into a womans hands, wasnt it interesting? FirePegasus: Im sorry its so dyed. I thought I posted it, but apparently not. I have no idea what happened. I remember posting the page, but now its not here. Confused~ Chapter 19.2 - Three Slaps Chapter 19Three ps Lou Yao Yao finished pping him and left very naturally. Looking at her back, Chen Haos face was pallid. The way she had just looked at him was like looking at a stranger. It seemed like the admiration of the past never existed. When he first saw her, she was a little girl, leaning on Qin Zhi and acting like a spoiled child and driving away all the woman who tried to approach Qin Zhi. Her arrogance and haughtiness was just like a little queen. He asked someone, Who is that girl? Youre talking about Lou Yao Yao? Shes the little princess of Qin Zhis family. You better not have any ideas about her. Be careful that your teeth dont break. At that time, Lou Yao Yao was a small chili pepper. Everyone who came near would be choked and half dead. There were still some people who were curious and wanted to subdue her. However, they didnt even have the opportunity to approach her. Qin Zhis group protected her too well. Besides, how could you capture a womans heart when she wasnt even interested in looking at other men? Atst, Lin Fei who got past her friends hindrance rushed over. Because her friends were blocking her line of sight, she hadnt seen Chen Hao being pped. When she came over, she was full of resentment, Chen Hao, what do you mean by being together with Lou Yao Yao, that woman? Dont try to deceive me by saying you are just ordinary friends. Chen Hao, what do you take me for? Chen Hao looked at Lou Yao Yaos back in a trance, seemingly not having heard Lin Feis interrogation. Seeing this, Lin Fei was bursting with rage. She reached out to grab Chen Hao, but didnt think that she would be coldly repulsed by Chen Hao. This action thoroughly infuriated Lin Fei. She was furious. She raised her hand and pped Chen Hao. But unexpectedly, Chen Hao who had always helplessly indulged her, immediately returned her p. The sound of the p Pa resounded through the entire hall. You actually hit me! Lin Fei covered her face and looked at Chen Hao as though she didnt dare to believe it was him. She looked as though it was her first time seeing him. Chen Hao looked at his own hand and also somewhat didnt believe himself. Only when Lin Fei covered her face, crying as she ran off, did he recover and pursue Lin Fei. When he did, he couldnt help but turn his head to look at Lou Yao Yao. In his heart, he sighed, Failed......Replicas Lou Yao Yao who was leaving the dance floor, heard the loud p behind her, but didnt even have enough interest to look back. No matter how wonderful the y was, it already had nothing to do with her. Let that fake prince and Lin Fei who opened fire on every single woman toss each other about. Separated from the crowd, Lou Yao Yao saw Qin Zhi and revealed arge smile. Qin Zhi, you should believe me. Seemingly aware of her thought, Qin Zhi who was on the opposite side of the crowd, returned her smile, lowered his head to talk to Ruan Si Nan and the others, then came over to her. After her fierce foot-stepping exercise, Lou Yao Yao was a little tired. Just now, she had eaten snacks, but she hadnt drunk anything. She had forgotten to drink when Chen Hao, that g man, interrupted her. Now, she felt very thirsty. After looking around and seeing a seat, Lou Yao Yao turned around to go there. When she had just turned around, she bumped into someone. The cup fell to the ground and made a clear sound as it broke. Today evening was so wonderful. We can see another wonderful y. This was probably was everyone was thinking. Lou Yao Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at Lou Qing Qing in front of her. What was happening today? The things that she found unpleasant were alling to her. Lou Qing Qing was also wearing a white dress. Different from Lou Yao Yaos lovableness, the two qualities of purity and enchantingness were perfectlybined on her. Together with that alluring face that didnt have any makeup yet was still iparably beautiful, it was the ultimate charm and beauty. At this moment, that pure-white dress was sshed with a red stain. Those pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak piteously looked at Lou Yao Yao and she said while weeping, Im sorry Yao Yao, I didnt mean to. I just wanted to bring you a ss of red wine. Heavens, this seemingly delicate and weak rabbit could soften the heart of nearly every single man. Lou Yao Yao wasnt a man, so she wouldnt be soft-hearted. She just looked around coldly. The young masters and youngdies who were always observant still continued with their own matters. It seemed like they hadnt seen this ur. However, looking carefully, it wasnt hard to discover that they kept on ncing here out of the corner of their eyes. What would she do? Swear like a shrew? Or p Lou Qing Qing in anger? This was something that she would do before. Despite clearly knowing the consequences, despite clearing knowing this was just a trick to provoke her anger, she still couldnt help but get angry. Lou Qing Qing was aware of this and thus did this. But no matter which one, it would make her seem unruly and unreasonable. As always, those people waited, waited for her to lose face, waited for her to make a fool of herself, to let them have another opportunity to despise her. As to why Lou Yao Yao would bump into Lou Qing Qing, they were not fools. However, they didnt care what the reason was. But contrary to everyones expectations, Lou Yao Yao smiled. She said in her heart. Lou Qing Qing, thank you for giving me a bad reputation. Chapter 20.1 - Viciousness Chapter 20 Viciousness There are many kinds of smiles: sad smiles, happy smiles. Behind each smile, there is a hidden emotion. Lou Yao Yao smiled. Some people thought she was angry and smiled. But Lou Qing Qing who knew her knew that it wasnt an angry smile. She smiled like this when she was happy. Yes, happy. Lou Yao Yaos expression, eyes, everything told her that that right now, Lou Yao Yao was happy from the bottom of her heart. It was preposterous, but it was true. In front of Lou Qing Qings frightened eyes, Lou Yao Yao raised her hand and snapped, Waiter. The waiter, who was continuously paying attention in order to clean up the mess, quickly put down the tray in his hand and hurried over. He politely asked, Youngdy, what can I do for you? Bring a tray of wine over, wine. Lou Yao Yao still stared at Lou Qing Qing and smiled. Listening to this strange request, the waiters expression didnt change. He didnt reveal the slightest doubt on his face and bowed slightly, Alright, please wait a moment. At that time, Qin Zhi had already passed through the crowd. He cast a doubtful look at her. Lou Yao Yao didnt say anything and just smiled at him. So he also smiled and stopped doubting. He just stood quietly to one side, waiting for her to deal with this matter. Whatever she did, he just needed to stand by her side. When she needed him, he would lend her a hand. That was enough. This man was the courage behind her willful behavior. Lou Yao Yao turned around and continued to watched Lou Qing Qing, smiling. Lou Qing Qing was a little scared by her stare. She found thatpletely couldnt understand what Lou Yao Yao was doing and thinking at this moment. Lou Yao Yaos world was white and ck. There were people she liked and people she didnt like. Her likes and dislikes were always expressed directly. She might be stupid or she might disdain to act, but she had never learned how to act. When she liked you, she could raise you up to heaven. When she disliked you, she could trample down to hell. Every time Lou Qing Qing provoked her, she clearly knew the consequences but she was unable to stand still. With this, Lou Qing Qing made Lou Yao Yaos image be worse and worse. Every time, Lou Yao Yao was angry or flipped out, Lou Qing Qing would soon be very happy because she finally tore apart that false mask. Look, this is Lou Yao Yao. She was so obstinate, capricious and unreasonable. It was just, why couldnt they see it? Lou Qing Qing looked at Qin Zhi. In her heart, she couldnt understand why he couldnt see it. The girl he liked was such a bad person. Why did Qin Zhi who had clearly seen her dark side still choose to stay by Lou Yao Yaos side. Did this man have any brains? There were so many girls in this world, why did he just stick to Lou Yao Yao? The waiter quickly brought over the tray. Lou Yao Yao used three fingers to gently twirl the ss. She swayed the ss gently. The brown **[I would assume this is wine/] was moving inside the transparent wine ss. The color was iparably mesmerizing to people. After swaying the ss, Lou Yao Yao ced the ss below her nose for two seconds. She was then satisfied and ced the ss to her lip for a small sip. Her movements were perfectly elegant. Lou Qing Qing only noticed Lou Yao Yaos pair of hands: slender, tender and white. This pair of hands, even if women were to see it, they couldnt help but gasp in admiration. They were too beautiful. Every time she saw Lou Yao Yao, it was her habit to look at Lou Yao Yaos hands, then she would think of her own hands. When she was sent to her father by her mother, she was already 14 years old. Her hand shape was already fixed and her bones were short and thick. There was also a thinyer of calluses on her hand. She had never done any household chores, but her hands had ayer of calluses. No matter how she maintained her hands, thatyer of calluses continued to be there. On the first day in her fathers house, she had slept with Lou Yao Yao on the same bed. She had stealthily held Lou Yao Yaos hand; that hand that waspletely different from hers. It was as smooth as silk and bonelessly supple. She would probably never forget that feeling. This was the eternal pain in Lou Qing Qings heart. At night, she couldnt help but thinking if there was not Lou Yao Yao. If there was no Lou Yao Yao. She had ced her hands on Lou Yao Yaos neck, wishing to strangle her more than once. But she didnt dare. She was afraid to lose everything she had now. She humbly bore everything, regarding herself as Lou Yao Yaos shadow. But Lou Yao Yao wasnt satisfied. Lou Yao Yao clearly had so much, but she even wanted to snatch what she had, her fathers love. Clearly, everything that her father had given her, she already generously gave Lou Yao Yao. She had even spoken good words about Lou Yao Yao in front of her father. But Lou Yao Yao wasnt grateful; she just wanted to embarrass her. She even wanted to snatch her man. Lou Yao Yao clearly knew that she had a crush on Chen Hao, but she wanted to rob Chen Hao. This woman named Lou Yao Yao, her heart was so vicious. Why couldnt other people see it!? No, she wanted to expose her true face. Let everyone see it. Sooner orter she would find herself utterly isted! FirePegasus: I apologize for the veryte update. Because of school, from now on I think my updates will be very irregr as I concentrate on APs. Chapter 20.2 - Viciousness Chapter 20.2 Viciousness Lou Yao Yao amusingly looked at Lou Qing Qings constantly changing face. She took a sip of the wine, then smiled and said, Lou Qing Qing, do you really know what viciousness is? Viciousness? Immersed in the sadness of the past, Lou Qing Qing looked at Lou Yao Yaos hand and murmured unconsciously. Lou Qing Qing, let me tell you what is actual viciousness. After saying this, Lou Yao Yao poured the wine in her onto Lou Qing Qings face. Then she put down the wine ss and took another ss, one ss after another. Six entire sses of wine were all poured onto Lou Qing Qings face. She held an empty ss and raised her chin and looked and Lou Qing Qing. She was like a queen, arrogant for a lifetime. Everyone was shocked by this scene. They thought that Lou Yao Yao would roar and get angry, would hit people, only they hadnt thought that she would use this method to take revenge. Lou Yao Yao looked around, sneering. All the people whom she looked at turned their heads. But the people who didnt evade Lou Yao Yaos look, leisurely smiled and raised their sses in toast to Lou Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao turned back, satisfied. She looked at Lou Qing Qing smilingly, Lou Qing Qing, raise your head and look around. Look at the expressions of these people. Drops of wine slipped down her cheeks. Lou Qing Qing looked as though she had taken a wine bath. She was in a terrible state. Listening to Lou Yao Yaos words, she instinctively raised her head and looked around. These people seemed to not feel anything toward what had just happened. Clearly, Lou Yao Yao had just done such a vicious deed, but no one said a word of rebuke to her. Even the man that invited her to the dance had his back to her and was with a beautiful woman. It seemed that he hadpletely forgotten about her. Unexpectedly.......not a single person came to help her. Why was this? Seeing Lou Qing Qing looking at her nkly, Lou Yao Yao moved closer to her and whispered, Did you really think that your little tricks could injure me? Did you really think that they were just ridiculing me alone? No, youre wrong. They wereughing at both of us. Did you think they wouldnt be able to see through your petty thoughts or that I wouldnt be able to? Do you why I clearly know the way they look at me, but still do it anyway? Its because I know their thoughts cannot cause any substantive injury to me. Lou Yao Yao stepped back and her gaze turned sharp as she said, Lou Qing Qing, you saw me beingughed at by people. However, you never saw that were alsoughing at you. Enjoy the taste of being ridiculed. Even though she had once cared about the opinions of others, after experiencing death, why would she still care about irrelevant opinions? In this world, there was nothing more painful than hearing Qin Zhi say that he loved her during her past life. Not paying any more attention to Lou Qing Qing, Lou Yao Yao turned around said to that man who was always waiting for her, Are you willing to apany for a dance? He didnt say anything, only bowed like a gentleman and invited her dance with a slightly doting smile on his face. Lou Yao Yao ced her hand in his hand and held it tightly. Many men will fall in love with a woman because of her kindness. However, very few men, after discovering that the woman he loved was a cruel, vicious woman, would continue to choose to love her. If you run into such a man, please use all your strength to treasure him. Because if you missed each other once, perhaps in this life and in the next, you might forever and ever never be able to meet again. With their departure, the people who had lowered their voices and pretended to be conversing suddenly raised their voices. Countlessments flooded Lou Qing Qing. They openly looked at her. The looks of despise and ridicule that were originally given to Lou Yao Yao were now all shifted to her. Get out of the way. Someone used his or her shoulder to forcefully knock into her. Lou Qing Qing stumbled a few steps and almost fell down. Not so long ago, she had said bad things about Lou Yao Yao with a sympathizing face to her. Now, she looked at her as though looking at a bug on the ground, full of disgust. Lou Qing Qing hugged herself tightly. She felt like icy water was what had been poured onto her head; otherwise, why would she feel so cold. Some people seemed to be talking to her, but she couldnt hear anything. There was the sound of various kinds of ridiculingughter in her ears. Everyone was looking at her with those kind of vicious eyes. The good-intentioned waiter ced a towel on Lou Qing Qings body, but it was fiercely pushed away by her. Lou Qing Qing muddleheadedly left the banquet hall and walked into the corridor. The tears that she had suppressed kept on falling. She held on tightly to the towel on her body and squatted on the floor, crying bitterly. It was all because of Lou Yao Yao. If it wasnt for Lou Yao Yao and Fang Xi Lei, how could she not have a father since young? When Lou Yao Yao lived in big house and wore beautiful clothes, she could only wear a bleached white school uniform and hide in a corner to peek at her father. Suddenly, all the pain of the past poured out. When Lou Qing Qing thought that she would die of the pain, everything in front of her became ck and her vision blurred. A man squatted down in front of her and gently used his fingers to wipe away her tears. He said sadly, Why are you by yourself, crying? Have you be lost? Let me send you home. At that moment, Lou Qing Qing thought she was saved. Chapter 21.1 - Growing Up Chapter 21 Growing Up Do you think I went too far? Seeing Lou Qing Qing leave looking as though she had lost her soul, Lou Yao Yao leaned on Qin Zhis bosom and said quietly. Qin Zhi asked her, Do you think you went to far? Of course not! Lou Yao Yao passionately denied. Considering everything Lou Qing Qing had done to her, how could this repayment be counted as too excessive? In the beginning, if she knew that Lou Qing Qing and Chen Hao were together, then she wouldnt have involved herself again. It wasughable. She was stupid to the point that she actually believed that Chen Hao felt guilty about Lin Feis death and remained single for many years because of this reason. If those two hadnt joined together to deceive her, then she wouldnt have remained ignorant for so many years. However, all of this had already passed. Although she hated and regretted, she was fortunate to have this man in front of her. In that case, theres no need to ask me. Qin Zhi smiled and said. This was excessive tolerance of Lou Yao Yao; even though, he clearly knew what the other party was doing was wrong. Lou Yao Yao looked up at him. Her heart felt sour and sweet. He was probably the real fool. She help but recalling when she was a child, whenever she did something wrong, Qin Zhi always took the me. Although he wouldnt expose her, afterwards, he would grasp her and spank her until she screamed in pain. Every time, he went out with his friends, he disliked her for being troublesome and thought of various ways to ditch her. Thinking of this, Lou Yao Yao asked in curiosity, Qin Zhi, you disliked me when we were young, right? Qin Zhi was stunned by her question, then honestly answered, I disliked you. Lou Yao Yao choked at his honesty. Although she had asked this question, she still pinched him and asked angrily, Then why do you like me now? Lou Yao Yao didnt really understand this either. Although she wasnt willing to admit it, if she was in the same situation and grew up with a troublemaker, she would avoid him at the earliest opportunity when she became an adult. How could you continue to masochistically continue to remain at the troublemakers side? And he even fell in love with her. Besides, she wasnt an unrivaled beauty. Nor did she have outstanding talent. Thirdly, her personality could even be called bad. Okay......Thinking about like that, she didnt seem to have a single strength. Thinking about it made one disheartened........... Seeing Lou Yao Yao hanging her head in depression, Qin Zhi felt a little funny and a little heartache. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He smiled and said, Its probably because I spoiled you. Im afraid, other than me, no one else will want you. So I have to take responsibility. Hearing this, Lou Yao Yao opened her eyes wide. What did he mean nobody dared want! She had been confessed to a short time ago! Then what about you? Why did you go out with me? Qin Zhi didnt give her the opportunity to get angry and tossed out his own question. He believed that Lou Yao Yao genuinely didnt like Chen Hao. She was never a woman who was good at camouge. She never had reason to go back on her words. Qin Zhi waited for her reply. He couldnt understand why. He knew if he asked, then Lou Yao Yao would tell him the truth. She wouldnt deceive him. But, he was still unwilling to ask and hear an answer that he didnt want. However, after dating, he could feel Lou Yao Yaos sincere devotion. Perhaps, it wasnt just his own wishful thinking. After asking, it felt like a boulder that had been pressing down on him had suddenly been removed. His heart immediately felt lighter. Lou Yao Yao rolled her eyes, I thought you would never ask. It is probably because in this world, there is no one that would treat me better than you do. Besides, you already spoiled me. If I dont make you take responsibility, then who else would be responsible for me? Lou Yao Yao returned the words that Qin Zhi had just said. If Lou Yao Yao said she was dating him because she loved him, Qin Zhi might notpletely believe it. But if she said that it was because he treated her well, Qin Zhi didnt have any reason to disbelieve it. Where could you find a man that treated Lou Yao Yao better than he did? From this point of view, Qin Zhi was a narcissist. He didnt think that this was bad or regretful at all. Maybe some people thought that a heart-throbbing love was real love. However, dating because one felt moved wasnt real love. Rather than the sudden heart-throbbing love, he thought that this kind of love was longersting. Moreover, it wasnt like Lou Yao Yao didnt know what he paid. In the future, he would be even better to her, so that she wouldnt leave. This woman will belong to him. From the moment he epted his fate, he never thought of giving up. The person who was actually unwilling to give up was actually him. It wasnt so much love was between them as an inextricable, inescapable fetter. Lou Yao Yao was somewhat embarrassed by Qin Zhis fiery gaze. Did she say something wrong? Being stared at, she was distracted and twisted her ankle when she carelessly stepped back. When she was stepping on Chen Haos feet, it was very enjoyable, but her feet were tired. Although her foot wasnt hurt, she couldnt ce too much weight on it. Qin Zhi didnt miss her carelessly twisting her foot. Without waiting for her to speak, Qin Zhi already said, Go rest. En. Lou Yao Yao naturally didnt have any objection; she didnt want to stay here any longer. Although now she didnt care what people thought of her, she didnt want be surrounded by people ncing strangely at her. Im tired. Lets go back. Okay. Qin Zhi left the dance floor with Lou Yao Yao in his arms and greeted Dong Dong and the other people. The two people left the dance, and went outside. Seeing that there were no people on the path, Qin Zhi squatted down in front of Lou Yao Yao and stretched out his hand to gently massage her ankle. He was squatting too close. Lou Yao Yao could even feel his breath on her calf. Immediately, her face flushed. Out of embarrassment, she grew angry and pushed him, What are you doing? My foot is fine. After saying this, she left by herself. After being given a hard push, Qin Zhi fell to the ground. Although his good intentions were being regarded as evil intentions, he didnt care. He was unbothered as he rose from the ground and slowly and leisurely followed Lou Yao Yao from behind. FirePegasus: My school is currently suddenly on break because of air pollution. The city I live in is currently number 1 in the worlds top most polluted cities. Im really excited that I dont have to go school, but the reason makes me feel..... I thought when I moved from China I moved away forever from air pollution. In the end, the city I lived in while I was China is way less polluted than the city I currently am in. Im struck speechless. Literally the air above my city is just smog. When I went outside yesterday, I almost thought the pollution was fog. It was literally that dense. I really dont know what to say. In any case, because of the unexpected vacation, I have more time and released another chapter. Chapter 21.2 - Growing Up Chapter 21 Growing Up Afterwards, the two people walked on without speaking. When they took the elevator, Lou Yao Yao even turned her head aside. Qin Zhi looked at her facial expression with great interest. He had seen her angry. He had seen her curse at people. But, he had seldom seen her shy. Lou Yao Yao thought she was only flustered by the heat. This was probably all the wines fault. She had low alcohol tolerance. She only had to drink a little to be drunk, so she normally didnt drink. When they arrived at the underground parking lot and the elevator doors closed, Qin Zhi suddenly grabbed Lou Yao Yaos hand, pressed her against the wall, and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Lou Yao Yao opened her eyes wide. As she was staring, Qin Zhi raised his hand to cover her eyes. At the same time, his tongue slipped into her mouth. Having been blindfolded, Lou Yao Yao felt that her other senses be more sensitive. She moved her teeth and bit the chaotically moving tongue in her mouth. In the end, she couldnt bear to bite harder. After a gentle bite, she let go. That tiny bite roused the Qin Zhis wild side Men seemed to have more talent at being predators than women. In this plundering kiss, Lou Yao Yao was the passive party. Simple kisses didnt really bring much pleasure, but that numbness that came from the bottom of her heart and spread out in her body made her befuddled. Lou Yao Yao wrapped her hands around Qin Zhis neck. She ced her whole weight on his body. She really felt like she was drunk. Qin Zhi had to stop kissing Lou Yao Yao who was confused by passion. He really regretted kissing Lou Yao Yao in this situation. Otherwise, it wouldnt have stopped at kissing. He left Lou Yao Yao and helped her tidy up her not very messy clothes. Although he was very aroused, he didnt forget where he was. Other than that fiery kiss, he didnt do anything else. Not only did was Qin Zhi not satisfied with this kiss, Lou Yao Yao also wasnt satisfied. She wrinkled her small nose and her watery big eyes looked at Qin Zhi. Her small round face looked pleadingly at him and her lips were even more beautiful. Lets go. After determining there was nothing inappropriate, Qin Zhi pushed down his diposure and reached out his hand to lead Lou Yao Yao. But Lou Yao Yao rejected his hand. Qin Zhi, who knew he was in the wrong, thought that she was shy. He couldnt helpughing and followed behind her. When they returned home, it was alreadyte. Lou Yao Yao took a bath andy on the sofa and read notes. In a few days, she would have a test. She still had a lot of things to memorize, but now she totally wasnt in the mood to study. The door of the bathroom was closed and she listened the sound of water running. She couldnt help but thinking of those dirty matters. How could she read, let along sleep? Lou Yao Yao felt that time was passing very slowly. She felt that Qin Zhi was taking a very long bath. When she heard the door open, Lou Yao Yao who had been lying of the sofa, continuously staring at the door, immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Qin Zhi dried his hair as he went out of the bathroom. He saw Lou Yao Yao had already closed her eyes and gone to sleep. He was helpless. She was so mindless. How could she just go to sleep? He put down the towel and bent down to pick her up. In the end, he discovered that she was stiff in his arms. How could he not guess that she was faking sleep? However, Qin Zhi could only pretend not to know. Like usual, he brought Lou Yao Yao to the bedroom. After he put her down and had just turned around, the corner of his clothes was grasped by Lou Yao Yao. Qin Zhi turned his head to look at her. She flinched and avoided his eyes, but the hand that was grasping his clothes didnt loosen at all. There was no intention of retreating. Yao Yao. She lowered her head and didnt look at him. Heaven knew how much courage she had to muster up to hold him. Even though she was said that there wasnt anything wrong; in the end, she only had theoretical knowledge. She was still young without any practical experience. At thest moment, she was scared. Perhaps because she had waited too long, Lou Yao Yaos hand began to loosen her strength. Once you summoned courage once, it was difficult to do so again. Using this reason, Qin Zhi persuaded himself. If he dared refused this time, it would probably be a thorn in her heart. In the future even when their affections were stronger, it would be difficult for her to take the initiative. If he missed this opportunity, then he really didnt know what he was waiting for. Moreover, Qin Zhi had waited too long for this moment. Before, if he hadnt been afraid that Lou Yao Yao wasnt willing, how could he have continuously endured it? In everything where water flows, a canal is formed[when conditions are right, sess will follow naturally/]. The two rookies slowly fumbled about. All of Lou Yao Yaos courage seemed to have been used up just now. She continuously dodged and hid, not looking at Qin Zhi. However, because of Qin Zhis provocations, she quickly focused on it. When all of the obstacles were removed and his hand touched her thigh, the innocent Lou Yao Yao shrank in fear. But when Qin Zhi indicated he would stop, her bashful sentence, I want to be your woman. drove him insane. The two peoples first time, because of their coordination became very smooth. Other than Lou Yao Yao crying noisily in the beginning,ter, the two, man and woman who first tasted love, werepletely immersed in another world. He waited 8 years until finally his girl grew up. In the future, he would be her man. FirePegasus: Finally, they are actually together! It took them long enough. But, it is so sweet. Chapter 22.1 - Will be better EVWNALM ch 22.1 C Will be better C Trantor: alliephant There is a kind of person, the better you treat her, the more shell not be satisfied and the more she will want[1]. No one has elucidated this sentence more perfectly than Lou Yao Yao. An hour ago, Qin Zhi called her to wake up. She said to give her another five minutes. Half an hour ago, she said to give her another five minutes again. When he heard Lou Yao Yao asking for another five minutes, for the third time, even Qin Zhi got a little irritated. Just a few days ago was the end of the examinations, so it was okay to bezy for a few days. However, today was Lou Yao Yaos first day at work, and if she dilly-dallied more, she would bete. Fang Xilei had a swift and resolute character. Thest time, Lou Yao Yao just conveniently mentioned the matter about the internship, and so, right after the examinations were over, the internships date was arranged. Lou Yao Yao felt that she had unspeakable bitter suffering. Originally, she nned to go travelling with Qin Zhi for a while, but now, they could only put this n on hold. She originally slept very earlyst night. But you cant count on the mischievous Lou Yao Yao to really behave and fall asleep. Looking at Lou Yao Yao curled up and acting dead on the bed, Qin Zhi who has not had a temper for many years really freaked out a bit. He coaxed and persuaded Lou Yao Yao to wake up, but the result was that Lou Yao Yao half-opened her eyes and pitifully said, Tired. Tired? Whose fault was it? Who asked her to sleep without behaving herself! Advertisements In the end, there were no other options, Qin Zhi had to hug Lou Yao Yaos waist and carry her up. Lou Yao Yaos hands and legs weakly hung down, as if she had no bones, just softly hanging on his hand. Qin Zhi saw and felt both angry and amused. Carrying Lou Yao Yao to the bathroom, and cing her in front of the sink, he put both of his hands surrounding her chest to prevent her from falling. Afterwards, he squeezed the toothpaste out onto the toothbrush, and discontentedly said, It cant be that youll even make me brush your teeth? Ah. Lou Yao Yao opened her mouth with her eyes closed. Qin Zhi directly put the toothbrush into her mouth, and then supported her body: Brush it yourself. Lou Yao Yao took out the toothbrush in her mouth, and had a miserable look on her face. She quickly picked up the cup of water to rinse her mouth. It was really too disgusting to have a mouthful of toothpaste. Seeing Lou Yao Yaos contorted expression as she continuously rinsed her mouth, Qin Zhi knew that she hadpletely woken up now. He let go of her and went out of the bathroom. She made a funny face towards Qin Zhis back and started to slowly brush her teeth. Okay, in fact, she woke up very early. Although she was still a little sleepy, it was not till the point of being unable to get out of bed, but she just wanted to tease Qin Zhi. Being used to seeing his serious appearance, she always felt that his aggrieved look when he was angered but could only sulk and bear with it himself, was particrly amusing. She seemed to be a little addicted, and always wanted to see him angry. When he was angry, she became so excited. Qin Zhi did not know her bad thoughts, and worked hard to find the clothes she wanted to wear, and fried two slices of ham and an egg for her, and also warmed a cup of hot milk. When he finished all this, Lou Yao Yao was already dressed properly. She was wearing a womans suit that she matched herself today. On the top half of her body, she wore a white semi-V-neck shirt, and on the bottom half, a ck western skirt. It looked exquisite and simple. Her long hair wasbed neatly at the back of her head. Her way of dressing was entirely like that of a skilled professional woman. However, the style was very different from her cute and lovely face. How is it? Do you think I became mature? Lou Yao Yao turned a circle in front of Qin Zhi smugly. Saying words against his conscience, Qin Zhi did not know how many times he had already said so to Lou Yao Yao, but this time he really did not want to say such words. He still had some grievances currently, so he did not cooperate and said: I cant tell. Lou Yao Yao bared her teeth to him. The mature and intelligent temperature of a professional woman waspletely ruined. Qin Zhi knocked on his right wrist with his left index finger: Give you another ten minutes. Lou Yao Yao snorted, and sat down for breakfast. She brushed her teeth again after finishing her breakfast, and the time was just right, just a little bit more to ten minutes. Qin Zhi first sent Lou Yao Yao to themercial street before driving to work. The Fang family upied a whole building in themercial street. Several floors at the bottom were the store and the floors above were office space. Their main business was clothing and, of course, matters rted to fashion were also slightly involved. Fang Xilei, as the boss of thepany, naturally would note to pick Lou Yao Yao up in person, but sent a female secretary Lin to pick her up. Advertisements This middle-aged secretary naturally knew the identity of Lou Yao Yao, and was quite enthusiastic towards her. She gave some advice to Lou Yao Yao, apanied her toplete the procedures to officially join as an employee, and sent her to the design department. Alliephants corner: [1]ôߨC idiom: win an inch, want a foot Decided to pick up this side project cause i thought it was quite a nice read & having a public holiday now so able to work on it~ c: yey and of course, more time to chill at home. Also, not entirely sure if the trantor has dropped this or just on hiatus... so will just post a part of it. Let me know... if anyone knows! ?? (will stop if original trantor is continuing) Chapter 22.2 - will be better EVWNALM Ch 22.2 C will be better C Trantor: alliephant The design department is just at the front. I can only apany you till here. Miss Lou, Fang CEO told me to tell you, although she agreed to let you enter the design department, whether you can stay depends on your own efforts. Lou Yao Yao politely said: Thank you. After saying goodbye to Secretary Lin, Lou Yao Yao opened the door to the design department. Regarding the arrival of an outsider, the people of the design department did not have much curiosity. They just took two nces and then continued busying with their respective affairs. Lou Yao Yao found the department heads office room, took a deep breath, and knocked twice on the door rhythmically, neither too light nor too heavy. Pleasee in. To be honest, Lou Yao Yao was a bit nervous. In her past life, she also interned at the motherspany, however, she was doing odd jobs at the logistics department. She appeared whenever she liked, and her absences were more than the number of times she went for work. She relied on the identity of being the bosss daughter, and never cared about other peoples opinions. But now, she didnt want to be a useless vase anymore and also didnt want to let her mother lose face again. The design departments department head Wang was a young woman in her early thirties. She received a notice from Fang Xilei a few days ago, saying that there will be a new person in the design department. If she felt that the person was ipetent, she could refuse her. However, the boss already called personally, how could she refuse her? Nevertheless, although it couldnt be refused, there were many kinds of job assignments in the design department. Specifically, whether it was a job to assist the designer, or doing odd jobs and collecting information, or even doing nothing and sitting on the bench, she had all the say. When she saw Lou Yao Yaos resume, she already felt that she would let the person sit on the bench and do nothing. Anyway, the person was justing to beautify her own resume, if she really arranged for the other party to do things, conversely, she will be resented on. However, after Lou Yao Yao entered the office, Department head Wang found that the other party was very serious in her words and deeds, and even revealed some feelings of tension. Closing the resume, Department head Wang considered and said: You have written on your resume that you have a lot of drawing experience. Yes, before I was in college, I always specialised in art. After entering college, I also didnt give up on drawing. Lou Yao Yao sat perfectly upright opposite her. Although that is so, not everyone who draws can draw a design draft. After all, you have not learnt orthodoxly in this area. Department head Wang said bluntly: I have met many people like you, thinking that they had a little art foundation and could then draw a design draft. But these people eventually left. In ourpany, there is an entry test to enter the design department. Usually, I will not ept those who fail the test. Of course, you are different, even if you do not participate in this test, I will also let you stay in the design department. If it werent for her tone and expression that was too dull, Lou Yao Yao would probably think that she was ridiculing her, but Lou Yao Yao could feel that she was just telling the truth. Compared to those who liked to beat around the bush, Lou Yao Yao preferred people who were so straightforward. I am willing to take part in the test. Regarding Lou Yao Yaos choice, Department head Wang did not feel surprised. She stood up and said, Come with me. Department Head Wang left the design department with Lou Yao Yao, and came to a drawing room. Department head Wang pointed to the five disy models arranged in a row and said: I will give you one day. After work, hand over four copies of drawing drafts for each disy model, so a total of twenty drawing drafts, to my office. After that, she gave Lou Yao Yao a set of drawing tools, and exined some other details, and left. One disy model, four drafts, front and back, and two sides, shrinking it by ten times in proportion and drawing it down. Lou Yao Yao felt that there was not much difficulty in this, but also felt that it should not be so simple. She did not rush to start drawing, but she sized up the five disy models seriously. Soon, she found an opening. Five disy models of varying height and size, five pieces of the same colour, and the styles of the clothing were almost the same. Just a small change, a pleat pattern, the length of the clothes, difference in the small embellishments, made the five disy models have a different feeling and temperament. Enchanting, pure, strict, casual, cute, fivepletely different styles, furthermore, these five styles of clothing werepletely tailored ording to the qualities of the disy models figure. But what Lou Yao Yao had to do, was not only to draw out these five models, but also to draw out the five styles and temperaments they had. Drawing was not just an art, but also a way of expression. Even if you had the perfect thoughts of it, and the quality of drawing was superb, if you could not express it well, it will just be empty talk. Lou Yao Yao thought that this was not just a test of drawing, but also a test of keen eyesight. Understanding this point, Lou Yao Yao started drawing and did not dare to underestimate the test anymore. Previously, she thought that having a little foundation in drawing would be enough to qualify for this job. Now, it seems that she was too na?ve. Chapter 22.3 - will be better EVWNALM ch 22.3 C will be better Trantor: alliephant Once Lou Yao Yao started drawing, she was so focused that even lunch was ordered in by thepany. At the end, when it was nearing the time to knock off, she handed in her sketches. At that time, she already drew till she was muddled. Every piece of drawing looked the same, and she was not satisfied with any. At first, she re-drew many times, but when it was getting closer to the time of submission, she could only summon up courage and submit them. Department head Wang epted her drafts and then told her that the second step of the test will be carried out tomorrow. Walking out of thepany, confused Lou Yao Yao was brought home by Qin Zhi. Her whole head was filled with those five disy models. She was used to beingzy, and such a long period of high concentration only happened two years ago during the college entrance examination. Still, she felt that it was not bad. The feeling of doing something with all her heart, unexpectedly felt very good. After Lou Yao Yao left, department head Wang took the drafts she had handed over and looked at them for a long time. She also found the scraps discarded by Lou Yao Yao. There were countless drafts but department head Wang was able to keenly distinguish which draft was drawing which disy model. She had to say, Lou Yao Yaos drawing ability was really good. But it was obvious that her foundation in 3D Drawing was not high, her drawing style was too aesthetic, she even drew out the models wig and added colour to it. Can tell that this girl pursues perfection. However, taking everything into ount, she was still a gem that can be polished. On this day, Lou Yao Yao was truly tired. After she ate dinner and took a bath, she went to sleep. She did not even do her nightly homework C seducing Qin Zhi in the middle of the night. The second day, Lou Yao Yao went to work with a high morale, her serious appearance made Qin Zhi felt a small sense of being cast aside and a little lost. As expected, Department head Wang did not let her down on this day. She firstmented tly on her yesterdays drawing drafts and then, gave her the second test: draw yesterdays five disy models from memory and only their front side, in her office. Regarding this request, Lou Yao Yao was not surprised. After testing her drawing ability, the next would naturally be to test her designing ability. After one night, no matter how clearly she remembered yesterday, it was also impossible to meticulously remember every pleat. Drawing from memory was the surface, but instead she was testing her ability to be creative on the spot. Five different styles of clothing, if she was tested this yesterday, she would probably have directly copied some of the design drafts she has seen in her previous life. But with yesterdays experience, using the original clothing as foundation, Lou Yao Yaobined yesterdays style of clothing and added some ideas of her own. This time, she drew very fast, and still had all kinds of defects. After going through all of them, Department Head Wang whom had a straight face throughout finally showed a smile. She reached out her hand towards the front of Lou Yao Yao and said: Congrattions, Miss Lou, from now on, you are officially a member of the design department. Thank you, department head. Lou Yao Yao held Department head wangs hand in surprise. To be honest, she really wanted to thank her, if not for these two tests, she would probably have always looked down on designing. Even if her brain was filled of clothing design drafts from her previous life, aside from whether she could draw it or not, ultimately, she was only a giarist. And there wille a day where she will have exhausted all the ideas in her brain. However, now, she seemed to have another way out. Also, she really liked that feeling, being serious, and the feeling of wanting to be better and better. She didnt want to be a giarist, she wanted to be a real fashion designer, a dream that she had once forgotten about. Next, Department head Wang alsomented on the defects of Lou Yao Yaos two times of drawing and assigned her a job: In this period of time, you will be my assistant first, and follow me to learn the basics. When is it that you can serve out your apprenticeship will have to count on your own skills. After handling the job entry procedures, it will be nearly noon. Lou Yao Yao ran to the bathroom at the first opportunity, and called Qin Zhi. Then, she rambled on and told him the news of her sessfully being epted into the job. Although she did rely on her personal connections and went through the back door, but wasnt it also because of her ability that she was epted? Lou Yao Yao absolutely could not suppress her excited feelings. She used to be called a flower vase {useless} in her previous life, ridiculed and looked down upon. Now, she was really happy; happier many more times than expected. After sharing her joy with Qin Zhi, Lou Yao Yao again dialled the phone to call Fang Xilei. Yet, she did not know what to say after the phone got through. Not knowing why, she just really wanted to cry. Her tears, not listening to hermands, came rolling down continuously, until Fang Xilei puzzledly pressed her to talk. She wiped her face and said, Mama, lets go have lunch together. She said to herself in the mirror: Lou Yao Yao, dont cry, you will be better in the future. Chapter 23.1 - Contentment EVWNALM ch 23.1 C Contentment Trantor: alliephant I heard that an outsider came into the design department, and became the department heads assistant straight-away. Really, then wouldnt she be a designer of ourpany the moment she bes official? The woman who spoke first raised her hand and admired the crystal nails that was just done yesterday. She said sourly: We have no choice, since she has a backing. Department Head Wang has always been famous for being thorough. Even if people had backing, she might also not be interested. In the end, she should still have some skill. Alright, whether she has backing or not, has nothing to do with us. Lets do our own duties first. Another person who had more power to speak mediated and blocked this topic. She said to the new person who was sitting at the side sorting out materials: Lou Qing Qing, send this parcel to the design department. Lou Qing Qing put down the work in her hand, and respectfully replied: Ok, team leader. When the woman who loved to gossip saw Lou Qing Qing holding the parcel and leaving, she immediately pulled the colleague beside her and said: Have I said that the neer with the backing in the design department is called Lou Yao Yao? Lou Yao Yao? It sounds quite simr to Lou Qing Qings name. It cant be that they have some connections? The colleague quickly responded. Of course, there is a connection. Then she grabbed her colleague and went through the whole gossip, andpletely exined the identities of Lou Qing Qing and Lou Yao Yao. Hearing such interesting gossip, the people in the whole office came to surround her. When the logistics department was busy, they were so busy that their feet could hardly touch the ground. But when they were free, they had nothing to do all day. Originally, they were already a rtively idle group, and the work was not a lot. Add on the fact that the new intern Lou Qing Qing snatched everything to do. So, they were even more free. After hearing the gossip, the youngest one sympathetically said: Cant tell that Lou Qing Qing is actually so pitiful. Yeah, it must have been very difficult for her in the past few years. It is rare that she can still be so optimistic. Another colleague continued saying. Soon, a gossip meeting became a sympathy meeting, and everyone was partial towards Lou Qing Qing. Besides, receiving benefits will make them soft to that person[1]. Since Lou Qing Qing came, they were a lot idler, so their words naturally leaned towards Lou Qing Qing. Most importantly, this Lou Qing Qing is actually Lou CEOs daughter. Coming to the grassroots level this time was just to train her ability, right? Promotion was only a matter of time. Only a few older staff secretly curled their lips in disapproval and did not join the conversation. Based on their experiences, they naturally looked farther than the young people. How was a discontented woman pitiful? Moreover, this woman actually came to work here at thispany. It seems that she couldnt figure out the situation and probably doesnt know who the real voice of thispany is. If she thought she could rise up all the way relying on her father, then she was destined to be disappointed. Talking about this, CEO Fang was really too kind. She should have chased such an ill-intentioned person as far away as possible. But the way CEO Fang handled things impartially was also very admirable. Lou Qing Qing took the parcel to the design department. It was different from their groups small dark office, as the design department upied a whole floor, with sufficient light and luxuriousyout. Working in such a ce, just thinking about it, made ones mood better. After exining her purpose ining to secretary Wen at the door, the other party rushed to Lou Yao Yaos office and shouted: Lou Yao Yao, theres a parcel for you,e and sign to receive it. Okay,ing. Just listening to the voice, you can feel that the owner of that voice was in a good mood, revealing a cheerful spirit. Lou Yao Yao came out of the office and saw that the person delivering the parcel was Lou Qing Qing. She was dazed for a moment, and took up the pen to sign. After signing, she said naturally: Thank you for sending the parcel over. Her attitude towards Lou Qing Qing was like that of a stranger, neither hot nor cold. Secretary Wen came over and looked at it: Yao Yao, what is in this parcel? It was teacher who helped me order some introductory books. She despises that my foundation is too bad, and I am too stupid. So, she doesnt want to teach me anymore and lets me read first. Lou Yao Yao stuck out her tongue. Said teacher was the design departments Department Head Wang. Department head Wang was very strict, and had no mercy when she taught Lou Yao Yao. Adding on that Lou Yao Yaos foundation was basically zero, she naturally could not avoid reprimands. Recently, when you passed by the door of her office, you can often hear her roaring voice and Lou Yao Yaos voice of acknowledging her mistakes. Alliephants corner: [1]Literal trantion is when you eat that of others and receive their means, the mouth is soft-spoken Chapter 23.2 - Contentment EVWNALM ch 23.2 C Contentment Trantor: alliephant My condolences. Secretary Wen patted Lou Yao Yaos shoulder sympathetically. Dont think that just because one was the department heads assistant meant that one could show-off. Department head Wangs strictness and justness was well-known. Without a strong heart, one could not possibly persevere till the end. Those who were scolded till they cried and then quitted were not just a handful. When Lou Yao Yao returned to the office, Wen secretary then discovered that Lou Qing Qing had not gone yet: Hey, why havent you left, is there anything else? No, I am leaving now. Lou Qing Qing walked away and at the door, she couldnt help but look back at the closed office. Also a neer to the newpany, she could only be in a dark office with a group of people, but Lou Yao Yao could have a separate office to herself. When she returned to the office, the colleagues who had always ordered Lou Qing Qing around took the initiative to talk to her. Their words revealed various kinds of probing and ttering. Lou Qing Qing worked hard to maintain a smile on her face, but she felt iparably tired in her heart. She couldnt help but think of the Lou Yao Yao she had just seen. The exclusion and gossip that she would have encountered in the design department would definitely not be any lesser. Why did she seem so lively and happy? The woman seemed to always be so happy, even if she was angered to the extreme at one moment, but in the next moment, she could be teased toughter by a trivial little thing, and then the previous moment seemed to have not existed. On what basis does Lou Yao Yao get to be so happy, but she {LQQ} has to be repeatedly tortured by those things! Lou Qing Qing felt tired for the first time. She felt that she could not persist any longer. Just now, Lou Yao Yao treated her like a stranger andpletely did not put her in her eyes. She suddenly felt that everything she had done had lost its significance. Perhaps, she really should not let her life be destroyed by Lou Yao Yao, she should walk out of Lou Yao Yaos shadow and start her new life. She suddenly remembered the man who she happened to meet at the banquetst time, and a tinge of sweetness surfaced in her heart. Regarding the meeting with Lou Qing Qing, Lou Yao Yao did not put it in her heart. Rebirth made her realize a truth. Others could make you unhappy, but you cant make yourself unhappy, because if even you let yourself be unhappy, who else could make you happy? When she thought like that, she felt that there was nothing that will make her unhappy. Tomorrow is the weekend, and Lou Yao Yao was giggly sorting out the things to bring home, and found that the carton was packed full. Including the parcel sent by Lou Qing Qing earlier, she totally could not move it. Eventually, she called Qin Zhi who was waiting downstairs and asked him toe up to help her with the books. Concerning her request, Qin Zhi would naturally not deny her. However, when Qin Zhi came up, his facial expression was cold, and after he picked up the two carton boxes, his face looked worse. Not realising Qin Zhis bad mood, Lou Yao Yao happily shared with him the interesting things that happened today. Qin Zhi was cold and indifferent the whole time, and only responded with one sentence after a long time. Lou Yao Yao didnt feel bored, and cheerfully talked non-stop by herself. In the end, Qin Zhi was defeated by her and failed to maintain his cold face. While sitting in the car, Qin Zhi asked about Lou Yao Yaos arrangements for the weekend. Lou Yao Yao expressed that during the two days of the weekend, she would be at home. After hearing that, Qin Zhi began to put on a cold face again. The dense Lou Yao Yao read her book and totally did not realise the change in Qin Zhis facial expression. Seeing that Lou Yao Yao was holding a book and being fascinated with it, Qin Zhi couldnt help but sigh. Probably, the trait of a workaholic was inherited. He heard that when Fang Auntie was young, when she was absorbed in her work, she was busy until she almost dropped dead. Although Lou Yao Yao was not as exaggerated as her, but was also fully devoted to her work. Qin Zhi could feel her concentration, her enthusiasm, but ... he still didnt feel good! In the past, when Lou Yao Yao was glued to him all day, he sometimes felt annoyed and tired. But now that Lou Yao Yao was cold to him, he felt lost. In fact, it is not that he has never been ignored by Lou Yao Yao. In these two years, because of Chen Hao, the times that Lou Yao Yao ignored him were not little. But, how was it the same as now. Now, she was his girlfriend alright, and shes actually ignoring him! Can he say that he was jealous, can he say that? Alliephants corner: Thanks for your ko-fi donation, mochakat9! (?? ??`) ? advance release for this and bonus LGC ch~ Chapter 23.3 - Contentment EVWNALM ch 23.3 C Contentment Trantor: alliephant Regarding this awkward thinking of Qin Zhi, Lou Yao Yao did not know it at all. She was originally the kind of person who, once determined her goals, would then devote herself entirely to it. This time, she made up her mind to go all out to achieve sess and would then naturally work exceptionally hard. After eating dinner, Lou Yao Yao was lying on the sofa again. Qin Zhi, who was left out, could only poke at the keyboard to y game. At eight oclock, Lou Yao Yao was present, and Qin Zhi poked at the keyboard listlessly, and looked at Lou Yao Yao from time to time. At nine oclock, Lou Yao Yao was present, Qin Zhi mopped the floor till one could see their own reflection, and looked at Lou Yao Yao from time to time. At ten oclock, Lou Yao Yao was present, and Qin Zhi reorganized the house, and looked at Lou Yao Yao from time to time. Seeing that it was 10:30, Lou Yao Yao was a little tired. Looking around, she didnt see the figure of Qin Zhi in the living room, and suddenly felt very strange. Its no wonder that she kept feeling that something was missing this evening. Qin Zhi didnt even say a word to her for the whole night! After looking around in the house, she found Qin Zhi in the bed. He lied down facing the inside, motionless, as if he had already fallen asleep. Upon seeing this, Lou Yao Yao gave birth to a feeling of grievance. He actually went to sleep alone and didnt call her! She frustratingly went to wash her face and brush her teeth, then she turned off the lights, and lied on the other side on the bed, very far away from Qin Zhi. After sleeping for a while, Lou Yao Yao couldnt stand it anymore. She moved to Qin Zhi little bit by little bit, and finally hugged Qin Zhis waist from the back and softly called: Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi seemed to really be asleep, and there was no reaction at all. However, Lou Yao Yao was obviously not so easy to be dismissed, as her two small hands scratched and scratched at Qin Zhis chest. The moment this trick came out, Qin Zhi who was ticklish quickly broke his stance. He turned around and pressed on top of Lou Yao Yao, pushing down both of her hands above her head. The look in his eyes as he looked at Lou Yao Yao was like that of a wolf at night, emitting a green light. Lou Yao Yao wrongfully said: Qin Zhi, you have been very cold to me recently. Everyone says that men are fickle, when they were chasing women, even if it was the stars in the sky, they will find a way to get it down for her, but once they managed to chase the woman, they will then not care about her anymore. Lou Yao Yao carefully thought, and found that Qin Zhi had rarely talked to her recently, and even did not do it for a few days. Sure enough, she was a treasure when she was pursued, but when she was in his hands already, she was grass. Hearing Lou Yao Yaos words, Qin Zhi almost vomited blood. Have you ever seen such an unreasonable woman? Obviously, she was the one who was very cold to him recently! Qin Zhi grinded his teeth and looked at her: Cold? Lou Yao Yao nodded undoubtedly, and she felt wronged till she could drop tears. Qin Zhi was angered. He was not the kind of person who was very eloquent, nor was he good at arguing with Lou Yao Yao, so he straightforwardly used his actions to exin. Soon, Lou Yao Yao lost her helmet and armour under his attack. Usually, Qin Zhi always yielded to her to take care of her feelings. But this time, he was probably really riled as hepletely charged around violently, tormenting Lou Yao Yao till she was miserable. Bottling up for a few days, was it easy on him? This woman really was unable to differentiate good from bad, and med it on him. Didnt know who it was that slept like a dead pig every night! No matter how she was tossed, she also didnt wake up! In the beginning, Lou Yao Yao was still enjoying it, but at the end, she could only beg for mercy. Do you still feel that Im cold? Qin Zhi whispered in her ear and asked softly. Lou Yao Yao shed tears and said: Not cold, not cold at all! In the end, Qin Zhi softened as she was crying, and let this woman, who deserved a lesson, off. Being preciously hugged in Qin Zhis arms, Lou Yao Yao was still thinking before she fell asleep, look, when she was in his hands already, she was like grass. Not gentle to her anymore. The next day, early in the morning, the Lou Yao Yao who was still crying her heart out yesterday, was full of energy as she sat on the floor and drew her design draft. Qin Zhi woke up with empty arms, and sighed weakly. He suppressed his vexed feelings and got up from the bed. After making breakfast, washing the clothes, Qin Zhi opened the floor-length windows and went out to dry the clothes. The summer warm air blew the curtains and they fluttered in the air. The design drafts on the floor were blown everywhere. Lou Yao Yaoid on her stomach on the floor, shaking her two white and tender ankles, softly humming a cheerful tune. Qin Zhi looked back to take a nce and saw that Lou Yao Yao had just looked up and looked out of the window coincidentally. She showed a big smile on her face to him. Perhaps she was blown by the wind till she felt veryfortable and her mood couldnt help but feel good. Although Qin Zhi wanted to ignore her, but in the end, he could only curve his lips to reveal a smile. Forget it. Contentment; this woman was already his, what else could he be unsatisfied with?

Chapter 24.1 - Jealousy is a poison EVWNALM ch 24.1 C Jealousy is a poison Not everyone wasfortable with maintaining status quo. For some people, another meaning of contentment was that they were not enterprising. As an ambitious person, how could you be contented? Chen Hao was not a person who was willing to be contented, and he was fighting for more his whole life. If you talk about what was the most contented thing for him so far, then it would be making Lou Yao Yao fall for him. There was no woman in the world that he couldnt get. He was like a hunter lying in wait in the jungle. Although he was quiet and not moving, his trap had already been set earlier. All he had to do was wait for the prey to be hooked. Whether it was Lin Fei or Lou Yao Yao, they slowly fell into his carefully arranged trap, step by step. Their every mood, and every change of mind, was within his control. They probably didnt know that all of this was what he deliberately wanted. He loved this feeling of when everyone was drunk and only he was sober. Standing on a high tform, looking down on these stupid women from Gods angle; even when he was dreaming, he could awaken withughter. Lou Yao Yao falling for him was an ident, but it was a beautiful ident. Then, what he had to do was to let this ident continue. Some people may say that he was too stupid, and did not know to seize the opportunity to fully capture this woman. No, the ones who say that he was stupid were, in fact, stupid. Such a woman should be strung along in his hands; not letting her get it, yet not letting her lose it. In this world, the most unstoppable love was one that you couldnt get. Chen Hao was very self-aware. He knew that what Lou Yao Yao fell for, was only an image that she imagined. Therefore, he never got close, and the distance created an illusionary beauty, and also implied a loss. Moreover, the most important thing was that only by stringing along this woman, could he then make another person unable to let gopletely. Have to say that, men understood men the best. Chen Hao had thoroughly understood Qin Zhis mentality. If he really made his move towards Lou Yao Yao, then Qin Zhi will either give up in despair, or cut off ties. The former was too cheap on Qin Zhi, and thetter would cause both sides to suffer. Therefore, it was the best choice to keep stringing Lou Yao Yao along and make Qin Zhi suffer but unable to let gopletely. Moreover, Qin Zhi knew his mentality exactly and was even more unable to let go. It was a pity that Qin Zhi was too concerned about Lou Yao Yao, so even if he knew the purpose of Chen Hao doing this, he was not willing to let Lou Yao Yao be in pain. He could only keep it in his heart. Furthermore, ording to Lou Yao Yaos resolute attitude, she would probably think that Qin Zhi was sowing discord? How interesting. Qin Zhi, you have beaten me in everything, but only lost because of a woman. The Chen family were foreign businessmen who made a fortune in real estate in this city. Therefore, local businessmen could not stand the Chen family. In the first ce, if they wanted to develop and expand, it should also be done by their own people. Where was there any room for outsiders to share a piece of the cake? Chen Hao thought that that was simply a facy. This bunch of people were short-sighted, and didnt know how to seize business opportunities, yet they med others? What kind of logic was this! When Chen Hao was a child, he could never find an answer. He clearly treated those people very well, but in the end, he was always isted. Later, he figured out the reason and felt very disgusted with the local businessmen. From young, Chen Hao waspared with Qin Zhi and those group of people,paring their strengths against his weaknesses. How could Chen Hao be convinced? Living in the shadows of those people, Chen Hao naturally looked upon Qin Zhi and those group of people with hatred. Among them, whom he hated the most was Qin Zhi, who was always self-righteous and had always considered everyone else beneath him. Now, with an opportunity to make Qin Zhi suffer, how could Chen Hao give up. Everything developed as expected, and Lou Yao Yao was trapped in his hands and could not escape. However, not long ago, Lou Yao Yao suddenly changed, and he was caught off guard. But, he had already expected this day and thought about the countermeasures. Eventually, this woman will not be able to escape from his hands. He did not go and pester her, but he made other arrangements. He believed that with his understanding of women, Lou Yao Yao was just showing a little temper, and her purpose was only to test his intentions. In the full bloom of the fireworks, he knelt on the ground covered with roses and pleaded with her: Yao Yao, please give me a chance to protect you forever. He revealed a confident smile. He knew the answer without even listening. Lou Yao Yao held onto Qin Zhis hand and walked slowly down the road of the countryside. At the beginning of July, the Fang familys clothingpany held arge-scale designpetition. The huge sum of prize money made countless people flock to thepetition. As an assistant to the design department head, Lou Yao Yao was naturally requisitioned to dobour. For the whole half a month, she was so busy till her feet hardly stood steadily on the ground. She looked at design drafts until she wanted to vomit. The small fats on her that was originally grown by Qin Zhi was shrunk quickly, and her fleshy chin became a sharp chin, making Qin Zhi feel so sorry for her. alliephants corner: Chen hao is really so horrible ...! Chapter 24.2 - Jealousy is a poison

ch 24.2 C Jealousy is a poison


After the busy period, the dense Lou Yao Yao finally realized that she seemed to have deserted Qin Zhi, and felt a bit guilty. She specially took a few days off and the two of them went to the holiday vige outside the city to enjoy a world for themselves. The deserted Qin Zhi was naturally very happy. Unfortunately, Ruan Si Nan learnt of this news, and forcefully changed their two-people world to a many-people world, angering Qin Zhi. On this day, as usual after eating dinner, the few of them walked along the river to digest their food. Ruan Si Nan and the others were not so extreme, and only followed behind from a distance, leaving space for the young couple. In recent years, the city had developed rapidly. Although they have realized that the environment was important and had begun to make the environment greener, but after all, it has lost a natural atmosphere. Breathing in the countrysides smell of mud and grass, and listening to the sounds of the insects in the grass, Lou Yao Yao felt that her state of mind was very peaceful. She said to Qin Zhi: Staying here feels sofortable, I almost dont feel like going back. Advertisements Qin Zhi smiled and said: Didnt you just despise the food for being bad to eat? Lou Yao Yao pounded him: Cant you just agree with me! Okay, then lets stay here for a few more days. Qin Zhi reallyplied. Lou Yao Yao pouted: No we cant, I only took three days off. Plus the weekend, its only five days. Qin Zhi suggested: Then when you have time next time, I will apany you toe here again. Okay. Lou Yan smiled and nodded. As Lou Yao Yao walked, she swung her hand that was held by Qin Zhi, thoroughly enjoying herself. After walking another stretch, she saw a faint light on the river surface. Lou Yao Yao went closer to see, and saw a few delicate papernterns floating on the river. The wick should be a light bulb, and the colours were all different. Floating on the river, it looked very beautiful. Lou Yao Yao pulled Qin Zhi along and quickly walked up towards the upstream of the river. She was very curious and wondered who would set off so many lightednterns onto the river. The more they went up, the more papernterns they could see. Going up further, she saw the opposite side of the river filled with lit candles. After seeing the words formed by the candles, Lou Yao Yao was in a daze, because the words formed by the candles consisted of two letters, one symbol and one Chinese character. The first letter was I, the third was U, in the middle was a heart shape and inside it was a Yao word. Lou Yao Yao was stunned and she covered her mouth as she looked at Qin Zhi: Did you make this? The look she had, had a little bit of surprise, and a little expectation. Although he did not want her to be disappointed, ultimately, Qin Zhi said regretfully: Its not me. Lou Yao Yao wrinkled her small nose and looked behind her. She found that they had already lost sight of Ruan Si Nan and their group of people, so she smiled: It must be Nan Gua {pumpkin} and Dong Dong ying with us. Only those two liked to fool around. Qin Zhi responded with a sound ambiguously, not knowing if he was agreeing or disagreeing with her. The two continued to walk along the river, there were papernterns on the river, and there were candles on the opposite side. They were beautiful and dazzling. Lou Yao Yao kind of wished that it was Qin Zhi who did it already, but since Qin Zhi denied it, it must not be him. So, Lou Yao Yao continuously rebuked him and said that he was not romantic at all. Therefore, Qin Zhi conveniently pulled out a wild flower from the ground and gave it to her. Lou Yao Yao chased him for a round of beating, but did not throw away the wild flower. When they walked to the end and saw Chen Hao standing on the bridge, Lou Yao Yao should have been surprised, but her heart was very calm. Qin Zhi looked at her from the side. Lou Yao Yao smiled at him, then broke away from his hand and walked to the bridge. Both sides of the wooden fence of the wooden bridge was filled with pink candles and there were various colourful papernterns floating on the river. The words of confession on the river bank were formed by candles. Walking on the wooden tformid with a thickyer of roses, it was like the most romantic confession in her dreams, beautiful and unreal. When she walked to the front of Chen Hao, he held a bunch of colored ca lilies, meaning eternal, and knelt on a single knee in front of her. At the same time, countless fireworks burst in the sky. In the midst of the splendidness, he said as if swearing an oath: Yao Yao, please give me a chance to protect you forever. In this situation, Lou Yao Yao couldnt help but cover her mouth and tears fell. She waited for so many years, but yet what she waited for at the end was her death. Now, this was all ced so simply and easily in front of her, really, how ironic. Chen Haos friends were across the river bank and incited: Lou Yao Yao, quick promise Chen Hao. Promise him, Lou Yao Yao. He smiled at her and waited for a reply. Lou Yao Yao wiped her tears and revealed a smile. When Chen Hao thought she was going to agree, Lou Yao Yao asked: Chen Hao, why? Why did she chase for so many years and did not get results, and now she has given up, but he chased over to her so easily? He certainly does not love her, then why? Yao Yao, I finally figured out my mind during this time. I cant lose you, because I love you. What about Lin Fei? Yao Yao, dont worry, I will tell her clearly. The cost, she reckoned, was to let Lei Fei die, Lou Yao Yao lifted her lips in mockery. As expected, this man was really fickle. Lou Yao Yao looked behind. Qin Zhi stood under the bridge and looking at him, hisplexion was pale as shone by the candlelight. Seeing her look over, he revealed a thin smile. This smile made Lou Yao Yaos heart cannot help but to ache. Turning around, Lou Yao Yao received that bouquet of ca lilies, and before Chen Hao could rejoice, she smashed them on his head. Then, she smiled and said: What a shame, unfortunately, I dont like you anymore. After that, she turned and left. Lou Yao Yao walked to the front of Qin Zhi and stuffed her hand in Qin Zhis hand. While holding Lou Yao Yaos hand tightly, Qin Zhi used his other hand to gently wipe off the remaining tears on her face. Chen Hao looked nkly on as the two people left hand in hand. She threw away his carefully prepared bouquet, but she held a stalk of vulgar wildflower, that did not even have any flowernguage to it, tightly in her hand. Chen Haos expression was as if the sky had fallen. He couldnt understand what exactly went wrong. Qin Zhi, I think its so strange, why will Chen Hao confess to me? Probably, he really found that he liked you. Thats definitely not it. He, that kind of selfish person, wont truly like anyone. Lou Yao Yao retorted disgustedly. Qin Zhi just smiled and said nothing. The truth was actually very simple, just because of jealousy. However, Lou Yao Yao did not need to know all that. He should be d that Chen Haos confession was toote, and be thankful that Lou Yao Yao was willing to turn around. This time, this man will really be out of their lives. Moreover, he will never let him have a chance toe back. Chapter 25.1 - Will you die without love

ch 25.1 C Will you die without love


This night, Lou Yao Yaos sleep was very disturbed. The scenes of her past life kept appearing in her mind. Lin Fei died so quietly. That woman was making a ruckus her whole life and everything she did had to be high-profiled. Every time she made noise wanting tomit suicide, it was like filming a drama; she had to let everyone know, so the attempts were always not sessful. In the end, sheid on the bed covered with rose petals and quietly slept. Her face had a smile and she left behind the words, please dont forget me. And then, she never woke up again. It seemed that not many people felt sorrowful over her death. The Lin family had many children and did not feel her loss. As for the bunch of love rivals, of course, they were only eager for her to die earlier. Advertisements Lou Yao Yao, however, felt that Lin Fei was fortunate, because even if she died, there was Chen Hao to remember her. All those years, Chen Hao never had a girlfriend and he once said that he was afraid she would be unhappy. Lou Yao Yao was once very touched by those words, and from then on, she even more so believed that Chen Hao was a good man that was hard toe by. His grief-stricken expression and sorrowful words then, ovepping with the man whose face was filled with deep affection yesterday, made Lou Yao Yao feel extremely ironic. As it turns out, she had never understood this person. Hate? Of course, she hated. But she hated herself even more for being ignorant and not seeing through people clearly. Lou Yao Yao knew that she was in a dream, yet still couldnt help but to feel sorrow and anger. Her emotions were infinitely magnified, and she couldnt help but to think of Qin Zhi again. Was he living fine by himself? Without her, will he have a better ending? Without the person that he needed to bear the me for, the originally wed criminal case would definitely be turned over. He was still young, maybe after a few years or a decade, eventually, there would be a woman who could help him walk out of his wound. She did not wish for anything else, she only hoped that this man was able to forget her, because only in this way, her heart could feel better. She owed him too much, but had no chance to repay him. Going back to the past, there was then a chance to start again, but everything that had happened before, had already left a deep mark in her heart. Those regrets, will after all stay as regrets. Irreparable. However, those regrets, yet point her towards the direction to advance, preventing her from making the same mistake, preventing the same regrets from forming. Lou Yao Yao kept tossing and turning, stirring awake and falling asleep. Perhaps, realising that her sleep was not peaceful, Qin Zhi who was originally a light sleeper, hugged her tightly.As if consoling a child, he patted her back lightly. Lou Yao Yao in her dream seemed to have felt it and finally quietened down, falling deeply and peacefully asleep in his arms. When she woke up in the morning, Lou Yao Yao forgot almost everything that happened in her dream. Nestled in Qin Zhis arms, she rubbed her eyes and mumbledzily: Why was it so noisy yesterday? Someone lit candles on the grass and the grass caught fire. The firefighting operation was a little big. Lou Yao Yao opened her eyes wide and lost all sleepiness. She said, in shock: Dont tell me it was Chen Hao? Besides him, who else would be lighting candles on the grass? Qin Zhi responded softly: Mm. Haha, then how is he now? Lou Yao Yao felt a bit likeughing at his misery. Of course, he was taken away by the police. The two exchanged nces, and found out that the other party was also secretlyughing, and couldnt help but feel happier. Thats why you cant ask for romantic things, look, it caused a problem. Lou Yao Yao thought heartlessly, and totally forgot that she was one of the main causes of it happening. If Chen Hao knew that what he had painstakingly arranged became the two persons joke material, dont know how would he feel. Of course, his mood now was definitely not good. Not just his confession was unsessful, he was even taken away by the police. Committing arson in a nature conservation area, a huge sum of fine will definitely be expected. He had to be the most useless confessor ever. After snickering for a while, Lou Yao Yao patted her head, and said in annoyance: Before I slept, I was still thinking that I wanted to do something after I wake up. But I cant remember it now! Is it very important? Very important! Well, in fact, she was not clear. When she was dreaming, her emotions were always infinitely magnified. Sometimes, she just dreamt that she had fallen, and felt like she had suffered a huge grievance. She cried and was in a total mess after she woke up, and only after crying did she realise that she was being ridiculous. Qin Zhiforted her: Think slowly, dont hurry. Lou Yao Yao racked her brains and thought for a while, and found that she still could not remember it. She tossed the thought aside and was intimate with Qin Zhi again for a while, and got up. Chapter 25.2 - Will you die without love EVWNALM Ch 25.2 C Will you die without love The air of the mountains in the morning was the freshest. Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling the turbid energy of the night, her whole person felt refreshed. Taking the opportunity as it was still early, Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yao, the two of them, behaved like thieves, and left the small wooden house, for fear of attracting Ruan Si Nan and those other light bulbs. After walking a distance and confirming that they did not alert anybody, Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yao then exchanged nces and smiled, taking a slow and leisurely walk. When they walked to yesterdays river path, they found that the grass on the opposite side was thoroughly burnt, and the whole ground was ckened. Days in the summer were originally dry, and when the night wind blows, the fire would naturally spread faster. Chen Hao and those people were actually lucky that they did not get burnt. Feeling that the time was still early, Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi decided to go to the mountain opposite to walk. When they walked to the foot of the mountain, they found that on the top, there was a person sitting on the edge of the cliff. They couldnt see who it was, but could tell that it was a woman. The two slowly climbed to the top of the mountain. At this time, the sun was just rising. Bathed in the morning sunlight, the chill of the early morning was dispelled, and the whole body felt warm. Originally, sitting on the edge of the cliff to watch the sunrise should be a beautiful thing. But, it has already been upied by someone, so the two of them did not go over. They looked for a big rock to sit down and rest. The person who was sitting still, heard the noise from their movement, and looked behind. And then, she turned back again. But this turning of her head was enough for Lou Yao Yao to see her face. She was momentarily surprised and said: Lin Fei! She finally remembered what she had forgotten. Yes, before she woke up, she had wanted to look for Lin Fei. No one in this world was utterly and hopelessly bad. She shouldnt die because of a man like Chen Hao. Hearing Lou Yao Yao call Lin Fei, QinZhi nced at the edge of the cliff. Then, he frowned. Anyone sitting on the edge of the cliff could make people think that she was watching the scenery, except for Lin Fei. Even Qin Zhi instinctively thought that she wanted tomit suicide again. The two looked at each other and Lou Yao Yao said: Im going over to take a look. Be careful, dont go too close. Qin Zhi urged her. God knows if that woman will pull Lou Yao Yao down to apany her in death. But since they already saw her, they also could not ignore her. Lou Yao Yao carefully walked over there, and finally sat down at the ce four or five meters away from Lin Fei. She did not dare to put her feet dangling over the cliff, but sat at a distance away from it. Qin Zhi stood not far away, paying attention to the situation here. Lin Fei saw that Lou Yao Yao came over to sit, and after making sure that the other party was far away from her, she was then toozy to pay heed to her. Lou Yao Yao followed her line of vision, and saw the patch of ckenednd. Then, she asked: You saw it all? Lin Fei did not answer. Lou Yao Yao also did not know what to say to her. The two, in fact, did not have much interaction. Every time they met, in her memory, aside from quarrelling, it was still quarrelling. Thinking about it, she really knew not much about Lin Fei. She thought and said: You lower your head and look down. If you jump down from this distance, you will definitely not die for a while. If you jump in this position, you will certainlynd on your face. At that time, your pretty face would be like a watermelon, smashed to smithereens. However, since you wont be able to die for a while, your hands and legs will be unquestionably brokenpletely, and your neck will also be broken, and even if it was so painful that youd want to die immediately, you wont be able to move at all and can only wait painfully for death. Let me guess, you would die in one minute, or die in ten minutes, or half an hour, or even longer. Lou Yao Yao, you are disgusting! Lin Fei, who was disgusted by her, turned and red at Lou Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao blinked innocently: But Im not lying. If you really jumped, your dying appearance will definitely be even more disgusting than what I said. Lin Fei lowered her head and looked down. It seemed like she was thinking whether she would die immediately if she jumped. She had never jumped down before, of course, she wouldnt know. After a long silence, Lin Fei said sarcastically: Lou Yao Yao, wont you be satisfied when Im dead? Whether you die or not, its none of my business. Lou Yao Yaos temper was also roused. Then why did youe over? Lou Yao Yao smiled and said: I just dont want to dream of you falling to death everyday. Its too scary, I will not be able to sleep. Chapter 25.3 - Will you die without love

ch 25.3 C Will you die without love

She was really asking for a beating, Lin Fei really wanted to rush over and beat her up. But she thought, if she herself saw such a scary appearance of a dying person, she would also certainly not be able to fall asleep. Thinking that she had to die in such a posture, she was a bit unwilling. Even if she was going to die, she also wanted to die beautifully. Lou Yao Yao did not speak. The duration that Lin Fei sat here for should not be short. Not jumping after such a long time, her heart must have some hesitance. After a long time, Lin Fei said: Lou Yao Yao, I dont need your sympathy. You should have promised him yesterday. Havent you been waiting for this day? You think I refused Chen Hao because of you? Lou Yao Yao was surprised. Lin Fei was silent. Lou Yao Yao suddenly smiled: How could that be, I have never sympathised with you. I refused him because I didnt like him anymore. The reason she asked Chen Hao how was he going to deal with Lin Fei yesterday, was because she wanted to see the extent of his heartlessness, and not because she felt that Lin Fei was pitiful. Moreover, Lin Feis undaunted temper also made one unable to sympathise with her. Hearing this, Lin Fei looked seriously at Lou Yao Yaos expression. Lou Yao Yaos expression was very calm, and did not look like she was lying at all. She could not help but think of the rumours that she and Qin Zhi were dating. It seems that it was not just a rumour. Lou Yao Yao suddenly asked: Lin Fei, will you die without Chen Hao? Lin Fei retorted: Lou Yao Yao, will you die without Qin Zhi? Lou Yao Yao became silent. Just thinking about it, she felt suffocated, but she knew that she will not die. Perhaps, she might suffer for a lifetime, but she will not think of dying. She has already died once, and now she cherishes her life extremely. Even if she was in pain, she would still live to feel it. When youre dead, nothing has any meaning anymore. Lin Fei said, one word at a time, very seriously: But I will. Lou Yao Yao, you dont understand. Chen Hao is my courage to live. I understand. She certainly understood. Because Qin Zhi is also her courage. Lou Yao Yao looked at Lin Feis pale face that had no pink tinge to it, and said as seriously: Since you cant live without him, then dont let go. If you die, Chen Hao, unfortunately, will be very happy. Because he has another reason that would make people feel that he is deep in affection. Those who like him will be even happier, because there would be no more obstacles. Lin Fei, is this what you want? Using your death to please other people, this is your meaning for your only life? Lin Fei was spoken to till her face was even paler, because she knew that what Lou Yao Yao said was not wrong. Her death would only please other people. Whether it was her rtives or her friends; who was not fed up with her temperament now? When she died, who would care? From young, her mental state was not very good, often going crazy and violent, unable to control herself at all. It has not improved after all these years of taking medicine. People around her all kept their distance, but only Chen Hao did not care about these and was willing to apany her. Even if she knew that he had motives, she also could not let go, and was reluctant to part with the warmth of his person. However, after a long time, she would also feel tired. She often thought, if she just slept quietly, and never woke up again. Especially after seeing the scenest night, she was even more tired, because that was what she once mentioned to Chen Hao, the confession scene that she wanted. But in the end, he gave her dream to others. At that moment, she was heart-wrenched till she felt numb. However, once she thought of the situation after she died, that itd be the way Lou Yao Yao depicted, she felt very unwilling. Bathed in the morning sun, Lin Fei experienced this warmth, and her heart felt even more reluctant. Sitting for a while more, Lin Fei got up from the ground. She looked up and dered arrogantly: Lou Yao Yao, I will not let all of you have your way! After saying, she did not pay attention to Lou Yao Yao anymore, and staggered down the mountain. Seeing her go, Lou Yao Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wanting to get up from the ground, she realised that because she was too nervous and maintained the same sitting position, her legs were numb. Qin Zhi walked over, and squatted down to help her massage her legs. He massaged till Lou Yao Yao hissed in pain and in the end, she simply hung on Qin Zhis back, asking him to carry her down the mountain. Resting on Qin Zhis back, Lou Yao Yao looked, ahead of her, to the tottering figure of Lin Feis back. She revealed a smile, and wrapped her arms around Qin Zhis neck. Breathing in the smell of her beloved one, she closed her eyes and hoped that this moment will be eternal. That woman who lived for love, also seemed to not be as nasty as in her imagination. Will you die without love? Perhaps. Chapter 26.1 - Surprise

EVWNALM ch 26.1 C Surprise


Coming out from the hospital, holding that piece of test sheet, Lou Yao Yao was somewhat at a loss. The origin of this matter had to be exined from three days ago. Because of a problem with thepanys partnership project, Qin Zhi went overseas on a business trip. So, Lou Yao Yao moved back to live at home. Not sure what went wrong, but those small desserts made by the nanny auntie that were her favourite, unexpectedly became difficult to swallow now. She also did not much have appetite during meals, and sometimes she even felt like vomiting suddenly. Initially, she didnt care about it. The summer weather was hot and originally already affected the appetite. In addition, she might have been used to Qin Zhis dishes and her taste changed, so she did not put it to heart. Advertisements In the end, auntie Liu saw such a reaction from her, and jokingly said it cant be that youre pregnant right. She was originally joking, and the one who said it did not mean it but the one who heard it found meaning in it. Lou Yao Yaos heart thumped, because she suddenly remembered that her period seemed to be dyed for half a month and had yet toe. Speaking of it, she and Qin Zhi have not taken any protective measures. Firstly, both of them did not like the feeling and secondly, they have never thought about contraception. Lou Yao Yao totally did not think about this problem and Qin Zhi also did not mention this matter. Once this thought surfaced, it then took root in Lou Yao Yaos mind. After thinking and hesitating, she apprehensively went to the hospital to check. She did not know how other people thought when they faced this problem, but she only knew that she felt excited and afraid at the same time while waiting for the results. She even wanted to turn around and leave, and to not face that result. When the result was out, instead of saying surprise, it would be better to say it was scary. If she was really just a 20-year-old girl who had gotten pregnant because of negligence, she reckoned she would have secretly aborted the baby, and then use this as a lesson and prevent it from happening again. And her boyfriend would probably be at a loss, or not want to take responsibility, and in the end, without much of a struggle, he might support her decision to abort the baby. However, the fact was that although she had the appearance of a 20-year-old, and perhaps still na?ve and innocent, but her psychology was indeed that of a 27-year-old woman. Qin Zhi was also not that kind of infatuated small boy, but was already 25 years old, capable of facing any idents. At his age even, he should have thought about having a child. Therefore, Lou Yao Yao was caught in a dilemma. The 27-years-old her would definitely not abort her child, but her current body was only 20 years old. This ident came too suddenly, so she did not have any mental preparation. This was probably the reaction that every woman will have after they were pregnant. She was clearly still a child herself, so how did she suddenly be the mother of a child? She hadnt thought about how to take care of her child, how to educate her child, and how to make her grow up healthily. She hadnt done any preparation, and waspletely caught unaware! Lou Yao Yao sat on the bench outside the hospital for a long time. She urgently needed someone to share the news with, but did not know who to tell. Qin Zhi? He would probably immediately run back. Mama? It seemed that she couldnt really say it to her. As for others, it looks like there were nobody that she was very close with. The aunties at home were also not suitable conversation partners, if she told them, she reckoned that everyone else would know the news soon. After eliminating everyone, Lou Yao Yaos conversation partner was left with her good friend, Tan Qin. Taking out her mobile phone and dialling the number, Lou Yao Yaos first reaction was actually: I have to touch the mobile less in the future. Hi, Yao Yao? Mm. Lou Yao Yao breathed in. Perhaps, noticing that Lou Yao Yaos mood was somewhat not right, she quickly asked: Whats wrong? Lou Yao Yao felt a bit difficult to open her mouth but thankfully Tan Qin on the other side was patient enough. After hesitating for a long while, Lou Yao Yao said: I am pregnant. Upon hearing such news, Tan Qin was still very calm: So, what do you want to do? That tone was like asking, what do you want to eat at night? Lou Yao Yao was stumped by her words. If she knew what to do, she would not have called her. Lou Yao Yao honestly said: I dont know. Then abort it. Tan Qins tone was still very calm. Without even thinking, Lou Yao Yao vetoed it: No! Oh, then congrattions to you, you are going to be a mother. Lou Yao Yao was freaking out a bit: But I am not ready at all! Chapter 26.2 - Surprise

ch 26.2 C Surprise


There was a silence on the other side for a while, and she seemed to be thinking about her wording. After a while, she said, Lou Yao Yao, what do you think you should prepare? What to prepare? Lou Yao Yao had never been a mother, how would she know exactly what she needed to do? She only knew that she had to give the child the best environment for growth, the best education, and to let the child grow up healthily. And after that, she was not clear. Lou Yao Yao, there is no mother who ispletely prepared because she has a child. Advertisements I seem to not have told you about my mother. My mother is a very weak woman. If you just talk to her a little louder, her eyes cant help but redden. She is also so stupid, whenever she buys somethings, she always gets cheated. She does not dare to talk loudly to people, always agreeing with what others say and does not even dare to refute them. When I was young, I hated her. Why were other mothers able to bravely find the other party to deal with them when their child was being bullied, but she could only hide and cry? Even afterwards when my father had an affair and wanted to divorce her, she also did not dare to tells others. Even the assets she has now from the divorce were all what I fought for. But, does she not love me? No, she loves me a lot, loves me more than anyone. She has always been working hard to make herself stronger, although the result is not big. Not every woman is born to be a good mother. Before they have children, they were also spoiled, they were also scared of the dark or scared of bugs. They will also be angered to tears by others words and feel wronged because of various little things. They could still be the same even after having children, just that they will not dare to cry in front of their children, thats all. Could it be that because of these, they are not good mothers? It is natural that mothers love their children, and also natural that children love their mothers. Lou Yao Yao, working hard is enough, dont shrink away because of your own weakness. This seemed to be the first time that Tan Qin said so many words. When she talked about her mother, her tone was very gentle and even had a tinge of pampering. If her mother was really like what she said, then who was the mother and who was the child, was really a bit difficult to say. Its no wonder that Tan Qins temper had always been so good. With such a mother, it would definitely train her patience and temper. Lou Yao Yao thought, if she met with the same situation, she would probably also be unable to truly hate such a mother. At most, she would resent her for being lesser than an average mother! Not every mother could be as strong as Fang Xi Lei, and even if they were as strong as Fang Xi Lei, it does not mean they would be a good mother. When Lou Yao Yao was a child, she had once hated her because of her busyness. But ultimately, she still loved her mama. Tan Qin, thank you. If it was not tofort her, with Tan Qins personality, she would probably not take the initiative to talk about these. Tan Qins tone remained calm: Mm, is there anything else? Lou Yao Yaos mood improved a lot, so she did not continue to bother Tan Qin and let her go. Who said that when youre a mother, you cant continue to be childish? She thought, if her child were to despise her in the future, shell beat him up! Speaking of it, in some aspects, she is very simr to Tan Qins mother. She still had this much of self-awareness. However, she was not timid, but she was wilful and childish. After thinking it through, Lou Yao Yao touched her still t stomach and went home by cab. Although she really wanted to tell Qin Zhi, but he should not be free at this time. It would not be good if she were to held up his work, so she decided to tell him at night. When she got home, she happened to meet Lou Qing Qing who she hadnt seen for a long time. She was pulling a few suitcases of luggage, looking like she was moving out. There was a car waiting at the door, and when the man waiting in the car saw here out, he came down and helped her with her luggage. Lou Yao Yao stood and looked from the side. She felt that this man looked very familiar. He was probably in his early thirties, he was not very handsome nor was he ugly, but his temperament added a lot of colour to him, giving others the feeling of gentleness and humility. That man noticed that Lou Yao Yao was sizing him up and he smiled and nodded at her. Lou Yao Yao just scratched her face, waiting for the two to finish moving their things, and gave way. Watching Lou Qing Qing almost getting on the car, Lou Yao Yao suddenly said loudly: Lou Qing Qing, you watch out for yourself. Chapter 26.3 - Surprise

ch 26.3 C Surprise

Lou Qing Qing was puzzled and looked over, but the man quickly started the car, and so her doubts were not answered. Actually, Lou Yao Yao was also not sure. She just thought that that man looked a bit like a certain man she had seen in the news in her past life. This man was born in a wealthy family, had money and was idle. He often travelled all year round among different cities, so not many knew that this man was a marriage maniac. In ten years, he had married nearly ten times, almost once a year. He was a man who was romantic to the bones, and when he loved a person, he was absolutely wholehearted and pampered the person to the skies. However, his love was always short-lived. A few yearster, because he abducted a minor, he was sued in court as that girls family had quite a background. So, it was quite sensational back then. Lou Yao Yao did not know how Lou Qing Qing became connected with this man, but perhaps it could be that she recognised the wrong person. Furthermore, for her to go advise andfort Lou Qing Qing, she was also not that generous and could pretend that the things in the previous life did not exist. A sentence, watch out for yourself, was already the best she could do to help. Tossing aside the matter of Lou Qing Qing, Lou Yao Yao started to act foolishly again and touched her small tummy with pleasure. After all, she was already twenty-seven years old, how could she not want a child? Fang Xi Lei and Lou Yuan Zhi did note home for dinner because they had a dinner gathering with a client. This made Lou Yao Yao breathe a sigh of relief, as she still had not thought about how to tell her mother, or she should wait till she discussed with Qin Zhi before telling her. Although she did not have appetite, Lou Yao Yao still forced herself to eat as much as possible and avoided those forbidden dishes. After eating, Lou Yao Yao bathed carefully, and she did not even dare to touch her abdomen. She even walked as lightly as possible. Although she knew that this was not right, but she had no way to let herself be less nervous. While waiting, she thought of Qin Zhis reaction when he knows about this matter countless times. He would be very happy, right? But when he heard the sound of the ringtone belonging to Qin Zhis phone call, she had a tinge of worry. Perhaps, he still didnt want children now? After all, he was still young, and its only been a few months since they confirmed their dating rtionship. If they really wantd this child, then they would have to get married, but what if he was not ready yet? After answering the phone, Lou Yao Yao went straight to the topic: Qin Zhi, I have a surprise for you, but I dont know if youd like it. Really? It just so happens that I also have a surprise for you. The cheery mood from the other side could be felt through the phone. Lou Yao Yao pressed her lips together: You say first. Open your window ande to the balcony. Lou Yao Yao followed his words and opened the window. Standing on the balcony and looking down, she found that there was a car parked on the driveway downstairs, and Qin Zhi was currently leaning on his side against the car. Seeing here out, he raised his hand to signal to her. Lou Yao Yao covered her mouth in surprise. He originally still had several days before he was supposed toe back, but he actually came back secretly! This was indeed a surprise! I have already give you my surprise, what about your surprise? Lou Yao Yao took in a deep breath, and said in the most serious tone: Qin Zhi, I am pregnant. This was probably the second-best news that Qin Zhi has heard in his past 25 years. The other news was when Lou Yao Yao said that she wanted to be with him. However, Qin Zhi did not let the joy go to his head, and calmly asked: Yao Yao, do you want to keep this child? His tone was so calm that she felt a little scared. At this moment, a lot of thoughts shed in her head, and she finally said: That would have to see if the childs father is willing to keep him. Ok, take back the sentence just now, joy haspletely overtaken his head! Qin Zhi who heard her sentence, was dazed for a long time. When Lou Yao Yao almost wanted to cry from waiting for his reply, he suddenly threw away his phone, and dashed around on the road. Lou Yao Yao stared nkly at him running here and there, not knowing what he was doing. After running for a long time, Qin Zhi then ran back and shouted to Lou Yao Yao standing at the balcony: Lou Yao Yao, do you want to marry me? This was probably the least romantic proposal, Lou Yao Yaoined in her heart, but replied cheerfully with her mouth: Okay! Upon hearing the reply, Qin Zhi stupidly stood for a while, turned around and ran like mad again. This time, Lou Yao Yao finally saw through his actions. He probably expressed his joy in this way. She couldnt help but touch her belly and giggled: Baby, your father is a fool! But, he is the cutest fool in the world. Chapter 27.1 - ch 27.1 – Lou yuan zhi

ch 27.1 C Lou yuan zhi

If this moment means surprise to Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi, then to Fang Xi Lei and Lou Yuan Zhi, it would purely be scary. Take a look at what they have seen and what they have heard! After a long day of work and dragging their exhausted selves home, they saw the Qin boy downstairs their house running around like a fool. Just when they were looking and unable to make heads or tails of it, he actually shouted in an earth-shattering voice: Lou Yao Yao, will you marry me? Just as Fang Xi Lei was beginning to question whether this reckless boy was a good match for her own daughter, she heard her stupid daughter shout back in the same way: Okay! Okay... What okay! Fang Xi Lei lived for so long and this was the first time she felt so angered, she simply wanted to swear! Lets not talk about the reckless proposal, but the one who was being proposed to replied so recklessly back as well? Fang Xi Lei felt her face burning up so badly, how did she give birth to such a stupid daughter? The two of them talked so loudly, it naturally caught the attention of their neighbours. Fang Xi Lei already saw a few of their neighbours looking around. Look at the neighbours living around here, dont talk about tomorrow, just tonight this news will be wide-spread. At that time, even if it was just the two kids ying around, this matter also wont be cleared up! Thinking of this, Fang Xi Lei opened the car door and stepped out of the car. She looked a little annoyed at the reckless boy who had tarnished her daughters reputation: Qin Zhi! Auntie Fang...... Qin Zhis expression looked a bit embarrassed. Getting caught on the spot by the girls mother at the proposal scene, this was probably Qin Zhis most embarrassing moment in his life. Feng Xi Lei said coldly: Come with me. After saying this, she turned around and went inside the house. Qin Zhi raised his head and looked up towards Lou Yao Yaos room. Lou Yao Yao, who had hidden her head inside when she saw her mother just now, now behaved like a thief and craned her neck to take a look outside. Realising that her mother had already returned to the house, she immediately stood up. However, she did not dare to shout loudly so she extended her hand to point at Qin Zhi. Then, she used both hands to pat at her chest. Lastly, she helplessly spread out her hands, disying an appearance of having the heart but not having any power, asking him to count on himself and hoping that hed be fine. Although he knew at this moment he should have a serious attitude, but Qin Zhi still could not help butugh because of her. When he entered the house, he did not see Fang Xi Lei, but the two nanny aunties were standing at the side, holding up their fists to show a cheering gesture. Qin Zhi smiled gratefully. Because Lou Yuan Zhi had to park the car at the garage, he came in a step behind the two people. Uncle Lou. Mm. Lou Yuan Zhi gave a neither warm nor cold response. He took a nce at the two nanny aunties standing at the side, and said imposingly: Wont you all go and brew tea for the guest. Yes. The two aunties replied and went to the kitchen to brew tea. After Lou Yuan Zhi sat down on the sofa, he told Qin Zhi in a dignified owner-of-the-house manner: Sit. Qin Zhi followed his words and sat down. Lou Yuan Zhi coolly observed this man who had just proposed to his daughter. He sat upright, and had a small lukewarm smile on his face, not overly cautious and not pretending to be ignorant. Lou Yuan Zhi couldnt help but remember of the scene when he first came to the Fang house 22 years ago. Fang Xi Leis father was a rigid, strict and imposing elder. He did not have to speak, but just using those pair of powerful eyes to look at you for a while, a person with lesser courage couldnt help but to perspire and be timid. Furthermore, at that time, Lou Yuan Zhi was perturbed in his heart, so he was even more nervous. Sitting opposite Fang Xi Leis parents, his whole person was stiff. Comparing the uneasy and nervous him at that time and the Qin Zhi now, one could immediately see who was better and who was worse. Auntie Liu made tea for the two of them, and Qin Zhi naturally and politely thanked her. Lou Yuan Zhi picked up the tea cup and tilted the lid to reveal a gap. He continued to observe Qin Zhi through the mist of the hot tea. Throughout this whole process, Qin Zhis expression remained very calm. After the two men sat quietly for a while, the mother and daughter pair, Fang Xi Lei and Lou Yao Yao, then came downstairs, both in their own thoughts. Auntie Fang. Qin Zhi immediately stood up and his expression finally revealed some nervousness. This made Lou Yuan Zhi, who had been paying attention to his change in expressions, feel unhappy. Qin Zhi, youe with me. Fang Xi Leisplexion was somewhat ashen, and nced at Lou Yao Yao: You stay here. After saying that, she brought Qin Zhi to the study room upstairs. Chapter 27.2 - Ch 27.2 – Lou yuan zhi Ch 27.2 C Lou yuan zhi Lou Yao Yao, who had already confessed and told the truth, stuck her tongue out at her mother, and then huddled on the sofa. She listlessly called out to Lou Yuan Zhi: Papa. After calling, she turned her head up and looked upstairs. Her big eyes spun around, not sure what ns were she cooking up. Yao Yao, when youre sitting, you have to have the proper sitting appearance. Look at your appearance, sit properly. Lou Yuan Zhis displeasure deepened. She obediently put her legs, that were on the sofa, down. Lou Yao Yao responded absent-mindedly: Yes, papa. However, after behaving for not long, Lou Yao Yao could not sit still anymore. She wanted to find someone to talk to. She looked at the two aunties who were standing far away because Lou Yuan Zhi was here, and then looked at Lou Yuan Zhi. She could only abandon her idea of finding someone to talk to. Eventually, she really could not sit still any longer, and decided to go against her mothers words, sneaking and tiptoeing upstairs to eavesdrop. When he saw Lou Yao Yao going upstairs, Lou Yuan Zhi furiously smashed the teacup on the floor. These people, did they even treat him as the head of the family? His daughter got proposed to, and the boyfriend did not treat him seriously, his daughter had matters in her heart but rather speak to the servants instead of him, her father. His wife handled matters independently, and never sought his opinions. Was there even a meaning in him being the head of the family? He looked again at the two nannies at the side, and the fury in his heart worsened. Even the servants didnt treat him seriously! He tugged on his tie agitatedly. Lou Yuan Zhi was unwilling to continue staying in this house. He took his car keys and went out. Lou Yuan Zhi was born in a poor mountain ditch and his parents were honest, uneducated farmers, and named their son with an extremely in and easy-to-understand name C Yuan Zhi, implying a lofty ambition. They hoped that when their child grew up, he could have a lofty ambition. However, they passed away prematurely before they could see their child grow up to be a sessful person. But, this name that carried their good wishes, invited countless ridicule to Lou Yuan Zhi. He studied hard in his teens, and took the first ce every year during examinations. His ssmates would say sourly: No wonder, since he has such a lofty ambition. Initially, he considered it as praise, but afterwards, the more he heard it, the more it didnt feel good. He worked hard, he made progress, what did it have to do with his name? They had no talent and could only say things about his name! He waster called a phoenix man, and felt even more resentful of his name. But, he could only pretend not to know, and could not even change his name to avoid being called petty. Finally, he married Fang Xi Lei, and was ridiculed in many ways: It turns out that being a little pretty face was his lofty ambition. Ive really broadened my horizons! These kind of words, he has heard them till his ears could grow calluses! Its not that he had never thought of divorcing Fang Xi Lei, but in the end, he was unwilling. In the beginning, getting married to Fang Xi Lei was not because of this womans background, but he was attracted to her talent. Compared with Lou Qing Qings mother, that kind of gentle woman, Lou Yuan Zhi preferred the strong and independent Fang Xi Lei, and the two could have moremon topics. Its just that Fang Xi Leis character was too proud and too independent. After interacting for long, hed feel tired. Everyone thought that he marrying Fang Xi Lei was like the equivalent of marrying a gold mountain. But who could know that after so many years of marriage, he was more and more hard up. Fang Xi Lei, with that character of striving for self-improvement, everything that she had now was what she worked hard and earned for. Want money? Sure, earn it! Fang Xi Lei never short-changed her husband for food, clothing and things. But, treating others ording to her own values, she also never gave Lou Yuan Zhi a single penny. Of course, if Lou Yuan Zhi wanted, she would give it. However, Lou Yuan Zhi could not afford to lose face. After more than 20 years of marriage, the money that Lou Yuan Zhi had, was just his monthly sry. As a general manager of a clothingpany with some poprity, how much sry could he earn in a year? 1 million? Two million? Or more. It sounded like a lot, but if you divided it out, it was around 100,000 to 200,000. This sum of money was naturally enough for ordinary people. But, to Lou Yuan Zhi, it waspletely inadequate. At their level, meeting with clients and eating a meal would easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. That little bit of money was not even enough to squeeze into the gaps of your teeth! Imagine how hard up he has lived all these years. No wonder others called him a miser. In the beginning, it was not that he did not love Lou Yao Yao, nor did he not want to be close to her. But he simply could not afford the things that she wanted. Furthermore, she was the same as Fang Xi Lei, too proud, and was the sweetheart of everyone. So many people cared for her and pampered her, and she did not even bother to act spoilt to her biological father. Chapter 27.3 - ch 27.3 – Lou Yuan Zhi ch 27.3 C Lou Yuan Zhi It was only with the appearance of his other daughter, Lou Qing Qing, and when she looked at him with such timidity and admiration, that Lou Yuan Zhi experienced the pride of a father. That child practically took him as a god. Therefore, even though he clearly knew that his wife would not be happy, he still suggested to keep Lou Qing Qing. Its just a pity that as a father, what he could do for this daughter was very limited. Even her monthly allowance, was just barely enough, but its a good thing that his daughter was understanding, she just thought that Fang Xi Lei was being hard on her and did not want to give her more. The more understanding his daughter, Lou Qingqing, was, the more embarrassed and guilty he felt. At the same time, he also had some resentment towards his wife for being too heartless. She {LQQ} was also his daughter, but his wife actually did not care about his daughters life and death, and gave her not a cent. This was rather too unreasonable and unfeeling, of course, he only dared to think these thoughts in his heart. But now, this house was getting more and more unable to stay in. His wife, daughter, daughters boyfriend, servants, no one paid any attention to him! What the hell was he regarded as in this house? When he thought of his daughter, Lou Yao Yao, looking at him with sarcastic and indifferent eyes, and he could not see the past expressions of anger but anticipation in her eyes anymore, Lou Yuan Zhi felt unable to breathe, and his heart ached! Lou Yuan Zhi felt very tired, and he had never felt so tired before. What did he even get, in this past 40 years? He never even had a son, and the passing on of the Lou family from generation to generation, will end in his hands! Lou Yuan Zhi asked himself in his heart, again and again! On the other side, Fang Xilei, after talking to Qin Zhi, drove Lou Yaoyao and Qin Zhi out, and stayed alone in the study room to think. She rubbed her forehead, and was a bit tired inside. She always dealt with matters resolutely and independently, but this time she couldnt decide because it involved her beloved daughter. Every time if it involved Lou Yao Yao, she had totally no idea what to do. This was probably her only weakness. Though the two childrens attitude was firm, but Fang Xi Lei, as a mother, had to think more for her daughter. She was only 20 years old and her temperament was still undefined. Perhaps, she might soon regret her sudden impulse, just as she did. But marriage was not a childs game, and even more so with a child, she has to consider more. When they are dating, they can part without hard feelings, entirely based on ones feelings. But, its not possible for marriage, once they are married, its no longer the matter of just the two people. Fang Xilei felt she should find someone for some ideas. The first person she thought of was her husband, Lou Yuan Zhi. But after looking around, she couldnt find him at home. In the end, she was told by Auntie Liu that he went out soon after arriving home. When she heard this news, anger sprouted in her heart. Her daughter had such a big matter, and as a father, he actually didnt care about it? Before marriage, she still thought that he was a very upright and motivated person, but she had never expected that in the years after their marriage, Lou Yuan Zhis temperament had be more and more entric! Carrying her exhausted heart, Fang Xi Lei arrived on the third floor. Lou Yaoyaos door was half-opened, and Fang Xi Lei standing at the stairwell could hear the two people inside talking. Dont worry. My mom will surely agree. So sure? Of course, dont look at my mothers serious look, she actually loves me the most. Oh yeah, Qin Zhi, your proposal just now doesnt count, there was no mood at all, too unromantic, its a big loss for me. If you want me to marry you, then you have to propose again! As long as youd marry me, I can propose 100 times. This is what you said, let me think of what kind of romantic proposals there are. In the future, you have to make up for it, if you dont propose a full 100 times, then I wont marry! Okay, however many times you say, Ill do it however many times. Listening to these childish words, Fang Xi Lei helplessly smiled and left. No matter what, first give Qin Family a call tomorrow morning. It is not just one familys decision after all. Even though, with this phone call, the matter will basically be confirmed. Qin Zhis mother seemed to also know that the two children were dating, and there have been numerous veiled references recently to getting Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yao married early so that they could have their grandchildren. Furthermore, looking at Qin Zhis manner of spoiling Lou Yao Yao,paring with her, it was rather Qin Zhi who was more like Lou Yao Yaos mother than she, herself. So, for the time being, lets just trust these two children? Chapter 28.1 EVWNALM ch 28.1 Opening the first page of the photo album of Time. The little baby in the photo sucked its thumb, looked at the camera, and smiled in a silly manner, showing a pair of big ck shining eyes. The second one was a little boy holding a just-turned 1-year-old baby. With crafty-looking eyes, his big mouth bit onto half of the babys face. The third picture was a baby with a face full of slobber, tears running down, and pping the boy with its small meat w. Turning over the first page, the two-year-old baby girl, was resting in the arms of a seven-year-old boy, wiping her tears and snot on the other partys clothes. The little boy was disgusted and his whole face changed. Lou Yao Yao saw till here, snorted with a pu chi sound and then continued to look at the photos behind. Still the same boy, seven years old, carrying a blue bag to go to school, and the little girl was sitting on the ground, holding his leg and not letting him go. The boy had an agonised look on his face, and was anxious till his tears almost fell. After that, there were a lot of photos of the two ying around. The photographer taking the photos was very good at capturing the scenes. In each photo, the bitter face of the little boy was in close-up, and Lou Yao Yao wasughing in amusement. Turning over a few more pages, this photo was a bit dark. The little girl who had gotten older was wearing a pink pointed hat, and was blowing a candle on a birthday cake. There was a boy in the corner of the photo who also had his mouth perked to blow out the candle. Afterwards, the second photo was the scene where the little girl red at the boy with her big eyes in anger. It was not hard to guess that she did not blow out the candles. It was followed by a series of photos documenting the process, from the little girl putting her hand on the cake, then to her grabbing the cream and smearing it on the boy, and then it was a mess. The two, along with some other children, started a cake fight. Thest photo, was the scene of all the children who attended the birthday party, extending their chubby hands covered with cream towards the camera. The closest hand was almost touching the camera lens. It was conceivable that the person who took the picture would eventually be drowned in cream. Flipping to here, Lou Yao Yaos hand paused, and her heart was mixed with happiness and sorrow. This photo was taken by none other than her grandfather. She didnt even know that her grandfather had taken so many photos and even kept them so well. Before he passed away, her grandfather feared that Lou Yao Yao was still young and would lose the photos, so gave this album to Fang Xilei, and instructed her to take out this photo album after Lou Yao Yao got married. This album full of photos, was all of grandfathers love, Lou Yao Yao was dazed for a while. She blinked her slightly sour eyes, and flipped to the next page. A photo album as thick as a palm, recorded the growth of Lou Yao Yaos first thirteen years. She shook her feet as sheid on Qin Zhis back. She was causing a scene, sitting on the ground, and Qin Zhi looked helplessly at her by the side. She sat on the back seat of the bicycle and scratched Qin Zhis waist, and the bicycle twisted and staggered while moving forward. A group of children set off firecrackers together in the New Year, and she was chased by a spinning gyro fireworks till she almost cried. The young Qin Zhi was very bad, during mealtimes when grandfather picked out the garlic and put it on the table, she thought it was for her to eat, so she grabbed it and put it in her mouth. Qin Zhi saw it, and mischievously picked out all of the garlic and ced them in her bowl. Her small rice bowl was full of white garlic. Lou Yao Yao wrinkled her nose, no wonder she now wanted to vomit when she eats garlic, all because of Qin Zhi this bastard! At the end, there were a lot of pictures of Lou Yao Yao crying. Every photo had Qin Zhi inside. As a baby, when she cried, Qin Zhi also had a face of wanting to cry. When she was an infant, she dragged him unreasonably to not let him go, and he had a face of irritation but also helplessness towards her. When she was in her childhood years, he anxiously helped her to wipe her tears, with very coarse movements, and both of her eyes were rubbed red. Finally, at the age of thirteen, they stood under the old pagoda tree at grandfathers house, with the fallen white Sophora flowers covering the ground. Her tears fell silently as he took her into his arms and gently patted her back, his expression was of pampering and helplessness. This photo album not only recorded the growth of Lou Yao Yao, but also indirectly recorded the growth of Qin Zhi and his change in mentality towards Lou Yao Yao. No wonder grandfather said to give it to her when she got married. It turned out that grandfather had long expected the ending, but unfortunately, a variable cropped up in the midst. This was not the first time she saw this album, but every time she saw it, she would feel sad. Lou Yao Yao wiped away her tears, closed the album, and flipped opened another album. Influenced by that photo album, after their marriage, Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi dug out all of their photos together, and took a lot more photos and put them in. Chapter 28.2 After flipping through the second album for a while, Lou Yao Yao suddenly got up and turned on the TV. She found a video disc in the cab and put it into the DVD yer. Soon, words appeared on the TV. Director cum producer cum maker: Ruan Sinan. Actors: Qin Zhi, Lou Yao Yao. Dubbing: A group of SBs. Title: The poor Qin Zhis one hundred times of proposal. Seeing this, Lou Yao Yao once again cursed Ruan Si Nan, this idiot! Because of a certain womans unreasonable request, our poor Qin Zhi needs to propose to a certain woman for a hundred times. Now, the first marriage proposal begins. After the subtitles were frozen in frame for ten seconds, the screen lit up. In the video, Qin Zhi stood on the bungee tform, and the whistling wind blew his hair into a mess. He looked down and looked a little hesitant. Soon, someone handed him a bunch of roses and said, Bro, dont be afraid, just close your eyes, grit your teeth, and thats all to it, go! Whose idea was this? Qin Zhi took the bunch of flowers, gritted his teeth and looked at the camera. Dongdong! Hey, dont put the me on me, okay? Its obviously her idea, what does it have to do with me! Whatre you hesitating for, if youre a man, just jump. The camera swayed, and Qin Zhi seemed to have been kicked by someone, and reluctantly fell from the tform. Qin Zhi, which was tied to the rubber band, dropped down and was pulled up again. This was repeated, as he held the bunch of flowers in his hand. In this way of up-and-down, the rose petals fell one by one. After bouncing for a few times, Qin Zhi seemed to have adapted, as he shouted whilst suspended in the air: Lou Yao Yao, please marry me! Shouting it over and over again, it sounded somewhat like a ghost crying or a wolf howling and was a very sad and shrilling sound. Qin Zhis image was all ruined! Laying on the bungee tform and looking down, he patted his chest: Oh my, his shouting sounds so miserable. What proposal is this, so extreme. Only Qin Zhi can stand Lou Yao Yao. If my future wife also wanted such a proposal, then Im not marrying! You are finished, it is still recording, wait for Yao Yao to see, lets see how you die! Oh shit! Nan Gua {Pumpkin}, Quickly turn it off! Dream on, whatre you doing, go away! Quickly pull him away! The camera was swaying again, and Dongdong who was putting up ast-ditch struggle and shouting, was sandwiched and dragged away by the arm. Qin Zhi was still sounding like a crying ghost or howling wolf, while the girl standing belowughed like a flower. The first proposal was over and the screen ckened. Then, a line of subtitles appeared. Devoting my deepest sympathy to Qin Zhi, and at the same time, admiring Qin Zhis self-dedication spirit! Next up is the second marriage proposal! Lou Yao Yao, in her heart, once again cursed Ruan Sinan. The screen lit up again, this time it was below Lou Yao Yaos house. It was night, but the lights were very bright. Qin Zhi was wearing a somewhat tight high school uniform, holding a guitar standing below Lou Yao Yaos room balcony, strumming the guitar to test the sound. At this time, dongdong and the others walked over as one of them was dragging a hose, Qin Zhi looked at them with a helpless expression: What is this for? To add some atmosphere! Then, Dongdong and the others turned on the faucet together and squirted masses of water onto Qin Zhi. In an instant, Qin Zhi was like a drowned rat, and his whole body was soaked. He finally couldnt help but rebuke: You bunch of rascals! Ha ha! Dongdong and the othersughed heartily. Soon the camera was directed at Lou Yao Yaos room, and it turned out that the female lead had alreadye out. Lou Yao Yao leaned over with both hands on the balcony railing and looked down. Qin Zhi began to y the guitar and sing. Whether it was his guitar sounds or his singing, it was both off-key and out of tune. He was really not good at singing. Dongdong and others held up the hose to simte a heavy rain, in an attempt to make Qin Xiao look a bit more forlorn. He was singing Outside the Window[1], my dream girl, I have quietly loved you for many years, but silently walked away again and again, I am leaving tomorrow, if one day I cane back, then I wille to your window again to pour out my love towards you. Singing to the end, he, standing outside the window, looked up and asked: My dream girl, would you be willing to marry me? She in the window, cried and said, I am willing. One hundred different marriage proposals, there was one in the water tank of the sea aquarium, there was a simple presenting of flowers and kneeling down, and there were many simtions of various movie and television proposals. Although it had been a while, Lou Yao Yao remembered them clearly. The video of a hundred marriage proposals was very long and you would have to watch it the whole day. After Lou Yao Yao picked out the ones that she liked and watched them, she then skipped to the behind-the-scenes. The following is our first reactions when we heard about the two of you getting married. The screen showed a group of young people staring at each other. Finally, Dongdong started first: Okay, let me talk about it first. When I heard you two wanted to get married, I was really surprised, but my first reaction was actually, was Yao Yao at the age to get the certificate? Thats what I thought too, I always thought that Yao Yao was not of age yet. At that time, my first impression was: Qin Zhi was too much of a beast! Qin Zhi Qin Shou {beast}! No doubt! Hey! You bunch of SB, this is in the video! Damn! Re-record, re-record! Wei Sinan was indifferent and said: No problem, after recording, its just a matter of cutting out this part. its the same if we just continue now. Is that true? I cant trust Nan Gua {pumpkin}s character! Yeah, cant trust +1. Ruan Sinan raised his eyebrow and said, You guys are off-topic! Finally, Dongdong walked to the front of the camera, then the screen was ck, and when it was lit up again, everyone was sitting well-behaved, and one by one spoke about their thought of when they heard the two were getting married. Without exception, they were all surprised to death, and even half of them thought that Lou Yao Yao and Qin Zhi were pranking them. In the end, everyone made eyes at the camera and said a wretched sentence to end the video, Yao Yao, when youre bullying Qin Zhi, go lighter on him. Chapter 28.3 The Lou Yao Yao in front of the screen was both amused and exasperated. Taking out this video cassette and searching in the video cassette container for a while, she took out the wedding video and started to watch happily again. When Qin Zhi carried the Qin Xiaobao, who cried till he was out of breath, she had already fallen asleep on the sofa. The six-month-old Qin Xiaobao saw her mother and stretched her small meaty ws to her mother. Qin Zhi hesitated a little but finally didnt have the heart to wake her up. Now, Lou Yao Yao in her fourth-year in university, was very busy with her studies. Although she had already be a designer in thepany and could work from home and not have to go to the office often, but she still had to take care of the little devil at home. It was pretty tiring. Qin Xiaobao yelled, Ah ah ah. As he shed tears, he pulled on his fathers clothes to express that he wanted to go to his mother. Finally, Qin Zhi put Qin Xiaobao on the inner side of the sofa. The Qin Xiaobao who had finally touched his mother stopped crying. He climbed up and down on the sofa as he grabbed onto his mothers clothes to y. Seeing that Qin Xiaobao was quiet, Qin Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was a crybaby. He recognized people and except for his mom, dad, paternal grandparents and maternal grandmother, he didnt let anyone else hug him. He cried when others hugged him and really tormented the family. Since she knew that Lou Yao Yao was pregnant, Qin mama did not allow the two children to nest in the small apartment anymore, but let them move home. When the Qin family was buying their house, they bought two houses opposite each other. One for themselves to live in and one for their sons house after marriage. After their marriage, the two have been living in this house, convenient for both of their mothers to drop by. Fang Xilei now also bought a house here, living alone. Qin Zhi stayed by the sides of the mother and son pair for a while, and saw that the TV was still ying a video. He was about to turn it off, but he found that it was the images of his and Lou Yao Yaos marriage. Their wedding was held at the seaside. The current image was of the bridge speaking. Wearing a white brides dress, Lou Yao Yao smiled sweetly and just finished shyly saying I am willing. Qin Zhi did not have time to be happy and was immediately lifted up by several friends, and thrown into the sea. She leaned sideways, held a bouquet of flowers in one hand, and held onto her hair on the forehead which was blown messy by the sea wind. Her eyes squinted into slits, as sheughed with happiness. Qin Zhi pressed the pause button. He looked at the blissful Lou Yao Yao in the screen, and looked back at his wife sleeping sweetly and his son who was very happy amusing himself. His heart could not help but fill with satisfaction. Qin Xiaobao found that his father was watching himself, he opened his mouth wide, showing his missing front teeth and half of the small incisors. Giggling, his whole chin was filled of saliva. Perhaps, his whole face had saliva and hence was notfortable, Qin Xiaobao lowered his head and leaned on his mothers chest, wiping his saliva. Looking at his na?ve and innocent appearance, Qin Zhi couldnt help but be tickled by him. Coming back to his senses, he took out the video disc and put it back in the box. While doing so, he found a new disc inside, with a sticker pasted on it, and a smallbel called, A gift for Baobao. Suddenly, curiousity arose. He took the disc out and put it in the DVD yer. After watching it for a while, he found that it was a record of Baobaos life. There were scenes of them helping him to take a bath, changing his clothes, and changing his diapers. At that time, Qin Xiaobaos arrival, really tormented whole family. Just for him to take a bath, the whole family was like going through a war. They were so flustered and busy that the sweat they produced was enough for Qin Xiaobao to take a shower with. They were also very careful when wearing clothes for him as they were afraid that they would hurt those small little arms and calves of his. Lou Yao Yao was even more tortured to death by the changing of his diapers. On the screen, Lou Yao Yao was pinching her nose in one hand, and holding onto a piece of diaper on the other hand, scrunching up her face, saying: Oh my god, disgusting! Then, she leaned in front of the camera and said, Look, Baobao, this is your diapers, your diapers! Baobao, now, every day you are wetting the beds! Every day! The lens went back a few steps and Lou Yao Yao red: What are you retreating for! You are Baobaos father, how can you find baobaos stool disgusting! After she spoke finish, she carried the diapers and chased the camera. The camera rocked here and there, and finally, the diaper was smashed onto the camera. The Qin Zhi could no longer take it and said: Lou Yao Yao, thats enough! Oh, Baobao, You are finished, you made your father angry! Lou Yao Yao! Ha ha ha! It was unknown what happened after, and only Lou Yao Yaosughter and Qin Zhis bellowing could be heard. In front of the screen, Qin Zhi face-palmed helplessly. As the party involved, he certainly knew what happened after. Lou Yao Yao threw the diaper onto his hair! He suspected, with his wife saving this video, and when his son sees it in the future, he will probably be angered to tears. How can there be such a mother who is so unreliable! After taking out the video and turning off the TV, Qin Zhi looked back and saw his son lying on his mothers chest and rubbing himself on her. A few of the buttons on Lou Yao Yaos chest were tugged off by the little devil. Qin Xiaobaoid there, his expression was very confused as if he did not know how to start eating. Qin Zhi picked him up, and Qin Xiaobao called out, ah ah in his arms, and he gestured with his ws and mouth, mouring for food. Qin Zhi pinched his little fat face and looked down. He found that the skin on Lou Yao Yaos chest was full of saliva and a little reddish tooth mark. He red at his son and pinched his sons face again. Then, he took a paper towel to help Lou Yao Yao to wipe off the saliva on her, and was just about to help her button up, and Lou Yao Yao woke up. Lou Yao Yao first looked around nkly, and then found that her husbands hand was on her chest, and a few of the buttons at her neckline was opened. At that moment, she got crossed, pped Qin Zhis hand away, and said angrily: Hooligan After saying, she pushed Qin Zhi away, and ran out of the viewing room with a red face. Qin Zhi, who was scolded hooligan by his wife, shook his reddish hand that was pped, with a nk expression. Well, just now he did have itchy hands. When Qin Xiaobao saw that his mother had ignored him and left, he felt sad and stretched out his hand to the back of his mother and kept on making noises, Ah, ah. However, he found that his mother did not pay him any attention, so he aggrievedly turned his head back, opened his eyes wide and looked pitifully at his father to ask forfort. The father and son stared at each other and Qin Zhi calmly said: Son, your mother said that youre a hooligan. Qin Xiaobao naturally couldnt understand, and continued to stare at Papa. Qin Zhi pinched his nose and said: Hooligan. Then, Qin Xiaobao cried, so Qin Zhi who could not handle his son had no choice but to carry the cry-baby to look for the babys mother. Since he was already told that he was a hooligan, then it will be better to really be a hooligan for a while. Otherwise, it will be a big loss! Chapter 29.1 Qin Xiaobao was awakened by the noise made by his mother. Early in the morning, Lou Yaoyao was stomping her feet. Oh my God, Imte, Imte! Lou Yaoyao anxiously scratched her head and squatted in front of the closet, with her clothes thrown all over on the ground. As she searched for clothes, sheined to her husband, Qin Zhi, why didnt you wake me up earlier! I called you, but you didnt want to get up! Qin Zhi looked at her busily looking for clothes, with his hands crossed over his chest. In the corner of his eyes, he saw that his son whom was sleeping in the crib was awake. He walked over, crouched in front of the crib and squeezed his little chin: Xiao Bao, were you awakened because of your mother? Qin Xiaobao, nickname; Xiaobao, formal name; Qin Yi. When he heard his father call him, Qin Xiaobao rubbed his eyes and blinked his big lively eyes, looking confused. Then he grabbed his fathers palms and rested his cheeks on top, and closed his eyes again. Qin Zhis heart momentarily melted. Lou Yaoyao finally finished choosing her clothes and she put them on quickly. Then, she put baobaos clothes on the crib and said to Qin Zhi, Help baobao to change his clothester and then send him to mamas ce. Im going to school first. Ill send you. Qin Zhi said as he pulled out his arm pillowed by Qin Xiaobao and got up. No need, Ill take a taxi by myself, you can pick me up in the afternoon. She grabbed her bag and the breakfast that Qin Zhi helped her prepare, and rushed to the crib toy a Muack on Qin Xiaobaos face. Then, she rushed to school like her butt was on fire. Qin Xiaobao was kissed, and touched his little face with great bliss. But, he found that his mother actually turned around and left. He immediately climbed up, turned over and went down the crib, and chased towards the door with his small bare feet, as he shouted in unclearness, Ma ...... Ma ...... With his short legs, he definitely would not be able to catch up. As soon as he climbed up, Lou Yaoyao was already gone. Qin Zhi picked him up and held him in his arms. Qin Xiaobao looked at his dad with grievances: Mama ...... Mama went to school, baobao be good, papa will change your clothes for you ok. Qin Zhi put Qin Xiaobao back on the crib, and then picked up the clothes Lou Yaoyao ced on the crib to help Qin Xiaobao wear them. Qin Xiaobao immediately forgot about his mother and crawled here and there, not letting his father change his clothes for him. Qin Zhi finally managed to catch the little monkey with much difficulty. In the end, Qin Xiaobao shrank into a ball, making his small hands and legs stiff in that position, thus making Qin Zhi unable to take off his clothes. Qin Zhi was afraid of hurting him, and didnt dare to use strength. For a long time, the father and son were in a deadlock and the clothes were not changed. Qin Zhi finally knew why every time Lou yaoyao changed clothes for Qin Xiaobao, she would be an exploding lion, roaring nonstop. Usually, as an audience it looked very amusing, but now that the roaring person has changed to himself, it waspletely unamusing anymore! Qin Zhi wiped his sweat, tossed the clothes aside, and pretended to be angry: Qin Yi, if you make trouble again, I wont help you wear it. Qin Xiaobao sat there with his head crooked and looked at his father for a long time. Then, he narrowed his eyes and giggled. He picked up the clothes that were thrown aside, handed them to his father, and softly called out, Pa ...... Pa ...... Qin Zhi wanted to continue to look cold, but this boy was tugging on his sleeve and looking at him pitifully. Thus, he failed to maintain his cold look for long, and took the clothes. Qin Xiaobao refused to wear it again, and rolled around on the bed happily. Dressing a child was like fighting a war. Qin Zhi finally understood why Lou Yaoyao was getting more and more irritable now! After waiting for Qin Xiaobao to get tired from ying, he could then change his clothes. The boy was still disobedient when wearing shoes, and he kept kicking here and there. In this period, Qin Zhis face was kicked several times. He seemed to think it was interesting this way, and two little feet kept treading on his fathers face. It took almost half an hour to get these all done. Qin Zhis face had be almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. He had always been proud of his patience, and was in danger of breaking this pattern in front of his son. Maybe he was hungry because after that, Qin Xiaobao did not make any more trouble. He drank a small bottle of milk obediently. Unlike usually whereby Lou Yaoyao had to coax him for a long time and eventually she would get angry then would he drink it. Picking up the small naughty monkey that had drank to his fill, Qin Zhi took the car key and was going to send him to his parents home opposite. Chapter 29.2 The couple was busy during the day, so Qin Xiaobao was usually taken care of by Qin Zhis mother during the day and will then be picked up at night to go home. Although Qin Zhis mother was in her early fifties, her looks were well maintained and looked like she was only in her thirties. When she saw Qin Zhi walking over, carrying her grandson, she immediately smiled and her eyes narrowed to a line. If you speak of who doted on Qin Xiaobao the most in this big family, it would be none other than Qin mama. Wheres Yao Yao? She is going to take an exam today, so she went to school earlier. Mom, today I have to trouble you to take care of Qin Yi again. What trouble? Taking care of my own darling grandson, how is it a trouble? Come, xiaobao, let grandma hug! Qin Xiaobao hugged Qin Zhis neck tightly and did not let go. No matter how Qin mama pulled, he didnt let go. Finally, when she grabbed him over to her, he cried aloud at the top of his voice, struggling to return to Qin Zhi. The mother and son looked at Qin Xiaobao, who was crying and was out of breath, and were very distressed. Usually when Lou Yaoyao sent him over, he did not make any noise. Why when it was Qin Zhi who sent him here, then did he cry in such a manner? Qin mamas heart was in pain from his crying, so she asked Qin Zhi: Are you going to work today? Im going to thepany in the morning, but I just have to make a short appearance. Qin Zhi also felt distressed from his crying. Qin Xiaobao cried for a while and seeing that it had no effect, he started kicking around in Qin mamas arms. As a result, he got what he wished for and returned to his fathers arms. In fact, children were very good at looking at peoples expressions. He was very clear as to whom it will be effective to cry to and to whom it wont be effective to. In the end, this little devil was ced on the child safety seat at the back seat by Qin Zhi and brought to work. When they arrived at thepany, the employees felt that it was very fresh to see their boss holding a baby, but they did not guess that it was his son. They only thought that he was a child of a rtive or friend, because Qin Zhi looked so young and looked nothing at all like a married man with children. Qin Zhi put away all the things with sharp edges in the office, and then gave Qin Xiaobao the toys that Qin mama gave him. Seeing that he didnt cry, he started busying with his work. Qin Xiaobao had very good sense, and obediently yed with the toy. When he saw that his father was gone, he dropped the toy and started to touch everywhere, trying to find something interesting to y with. After ying for a while alone, the door of the office was suddenly opened, and two women crept in. Qin Xiaobao opened his eyes wide and stared at them curiously. Qin Xiaobao, who was just one year old, looked like he was carved out of gem. His small face was tender and pink, which made people want to pounce and take a bite out of it. When his pair of big bright eyes, inherited from Lou Yao Yao, with ck and long eyshes blinked, it tickled peoples hearts. The two female secretaries hearts instantly melted. The two approached, and the first secretary asked, What are you doing, little kid? Qin Xiaobao naturally could not answer her, and just blinked at them. So cute. The second secretary covered her face, and then said, Little kid, whos your dad? Qin Xiaobao finally responded, he nted his head like he was thinking: Dad... Then he said excitedly: Dad, Ben! Ben[1]! (stupid) The two secretaries looked at each other wondering what Qin Xiaobao meant. It cant be that he was saying his father was stupid? The two then asked who was his mother, but Qin Xiaobao said, Go to school. Then, the two continued to inquire about Qin Zhis news and Qin Xiaobao basically just opened his eyes and listened. asionally, he murmured a few words but it was all incongruous. When Qin Zhi returned, he saw the two secretaries who were supposed to be working at the front desk surrounding his son and talking. When Qin Xiaobao saw his father, he immediately ran over and hugged his thigh, saying Ben Ben. Qin Zhi carried him up and said coldly to the two secretaries: What are you doing here, arent you going to go back and work? Yes. The two little secretaries answered obediently, but they casted a sidelong nce at Qin Zhi from time to time. Qin Zhi did not look at them anymore as he went out carrying Qin Xiaobao. Hearing that he was still shouting Ben ben, he squeezed his little nose: Say Baba[2]. (papa) Ben Ben! Say Baba! The father and son quarrelled with each other as if there were no one around while the hearts of the two little secretaries were really broken this time. Baba? They didnt mishear, right? This boss, who seemed to be only in his twenties, actually had a son who was more than one year old? This wasnt true, right? How could we live like that? Why were all the good men now married or nning to get married! There was really nothing much to be busy with at thepany. Ruan Sinan had just gotten married some time ago, and he was now on his honeymoon. Without Ruan Sinan in thepany blindly causing things, the work in thepany instantly became very leisurely. Qin Zhi carried his son for a turn around thepany and then, went back. When Qin Xiaobao was eight months old, he began to spit out words unclearly. The first thing he learnt was not Mama or Baba, but the Ben from Ben Dan (stupid). Maybe, Lou Yaoyao called Qin Zhi Ben Dan too often, and was picked up by the child. Now, Qin Xiaobao sometimes called Qin Zhi Baba and sometimes called him Ben ben, which made Qin Zhi very helpless. [1]Ben (pronounce like buhn/burn.) means stupid/ dumb. [2]Chinese spelling and pronunciation for papa/daddy. So, will use this for the chapter, since it links with the ben ben (stupid). Chapter 29.3

Chapter 29 part3

At noon, Qin Zhi made rice noodles for Qin Xiaobao to eat, while Qin mama had long invited her friends to go out and y since it was rare for her not to be taking care of her grandson. At this time, Qin Xiaobao just started learning how to use a spoon and took the small stic spoon to scoop up the rice noodles, and half of itnded on his nose. Qin Zhi only went to the kitchen to take a jar of hot pepper sauce and when he came back, he saw Qin Xiaobaos hands in the bowl, grabbing the rice noodles to eat. When he saw that Qin Zhi came back, he giggled and scratched his head, and then continued eating by grabbing the noodles with his hands. Looking at his son whose body, face and head was full of rice noodle, Qin Zhi was speechless for a moment, and then he was very d that his wife was not at home, or she would have roared again. After eating lunch, Qin Zhi bathed Qin Xiaobao. Qin Xiaobao naturally did not sit still. One bath took more than half an hour and he also got all of Qin Zhis clothes wet. After the bath, the little guy was sleepy and automatically returned to his crib to nap, leaving his dad to clean up the mess. Looking at the messed-up bathroom, Qin Zhi who looked like he was fished out of the waters finally realized how terrible this little devil was. No wonder his wifes temper was getting worse and worse, even though she was so cute when she was younger! Qin Xiaobao fell asleep until four in the afternoon, but because he slept too long, he wet the bed ......... This was a very tragic day for Qin Zhi, and it started from his heart being softened in the morning. After ying with his son for an hour, Qin Zhi whose back and waist was aching, drove to pick up his wife from school. After reaching Lou Yaoyaos school, Lou Yaoyao had yet toe out. Outsider cars were forbidden to enter the school so the father and son had to wait outside the school. Qin Xiaobao was not behaving in the car and kept climbing around everywhere so Qin Zhi had no choice but to get out of the car with him and wait in front of the car. At the gate of the university, there were people waiting outside the school almost every day, including young people, middle-aged people, and old people. However, it was rare for someone to bring a child to pick someone up. With a sore back, Qin Zhi leanedzily on a silver sports car. He was originally good-looking, and hisziness made him look slightly sexy. Qin Xiaobao held his dads thigh and looked at the pedestrians walking past with a look of anticipation. If he saw a woman that looked like Lou Yaoyao, he would run up happily. But, after walking a few steps, he would find that it was not his mama, and would shake his head and retract to his fathers side, continuing to hold his fathers thigh and wait for his mama. The female students who came out of the school were so stunned by this cute father and son pair! They almost wanted to go up to make conversation! However, there were also people who did not fall for this look and suspected that this man deliberately took the child here to win his crushs sympathy, or he just intentionally brought a child here to flirt with girls! The father and son were watched by the crowd of onlookers for a long time, and finally waited till Lou Yaoyao came out. Qin Xiaobao ran up excitedly and hugged Lou Yaoyaos thigh. Lou Yaoyao lifted her leg and found that Qin Xiaobao was holding it too tightly. It was like he waspletely hanging off her leg. She immediately frowned: Qin Xiaobao, let go! Mama! Qin Xiaobao looked up at his mother pitifully. Let go! Lou Yaoyao didnt have any intention to be soft on him. Qin Xiaobao had no choice but to let go aggrievedly. He turned to his father for help, but found that his father turned his head away, pretending not to see his plea for help. After taking Lou Yaoyaos bag from her hand, Qin Zhi thought that there was a rock to every scissor, a scissors to every paper and a paper to every rock. The whole family all spoilt Qin Xiaobao and only Lou Yaoyao could put on a cold face towards him. Yet, although Lou Yao Yao was fierce towards him, Qin Xiaobao liked to stick to his mother. Sitting in the car, Qin Xiaobao, who was like a monkey just now, nestled in his mothers arms motionlessly, and seeing that, Qin Zhi wanted tough. However, what this family of three did not know was that, watching them leave were countless young girls whose hearts were broken again! Sure enough, if they were to meet a good man, it is the right choice to quickly catch him to get married and have a baby! When passing by a pastry shop, Lou Yaoyao let Qin Zhi stop by the side of the road and got out with Qin Xiaobao. It was also quite coincidental that she actually met Chen Hao on the road. Chen Hao saw this mother and son pair and just smiled, wanting to open his mouth to talk. In the end, he brushed past Lou Yao Yao and she seemed as though she did not even see him. She carried Qin Xiaobao, refusing to cast him a single nce as she walked over and past him. Chen Haos face froze and he looked back at them. He saw Lou Yaoyao and Qin Xiaobao squatting in front of the disy window of the cake shop. The two of them, one big, one small, suddenly turned back and stared with two big eyes, resembling a kitten. Chen Hao thought that they were looking at him. He adjusted his frozen smile to a perfect smile, and when he raised his legs to walk there, he realised that there was someone walking past him. Qin Zhi walked over to his wife and child. He bent over and asked, Have you chosen? This! Lou Yaoyao pointed to a chocte cake in the disy window. Qin Xiaobao reached out his hand to point at another strawberry cake; his saliva was almost about to flow out. Which one? Lou Yaoyao red, and said fiercely, Of course it was the one I said! This woman, who did not give way at all, was actually fighting with her son over a cake! In the end, Qin Zhi bought one of each vour. The cake was packed in the box and Qin Xiaobao naturally did not know that he had already bought it. He clung to the disy window and refused to leave so Lou Yaoyao carried him away, and then Qin Xiaobao cried.[1] After crying for a while, he found that his mother ignored him, so he just dropped his head and sulked in his mothers arms. Qin Zhi saw this scene and couldnt help but think that it was funny. Sure enough, the little devil still needed the big devil to fix him! To deal with this little devil, you need a hard and determined heart! The family of three walked past him, and from beginning to end, seemed as if they had not seen him at all. Chen Haos heart was empty, and he stood in ce for a long, long time. Alliephant: [1](Naw this parts so cute HAHA) Their dynamics as a family is so cute! Yaoyao as the stern one and qin zhi unable to handle xiaobao. Anyway, ch31 is thest ch so 2 more full chs to go! Having more time now so might try to churn it out 2x/wk c: Thinking about what project I should take on after this, any suggestions? (Preferably <100 chpts haha) Chapter 30.1

Chapter 30 part1

Without knowing it, she came here again. She just wanted to find a ce to rx, but she returned to this ce more than once. Lou Qingqing touched the white fence that was starting to fade in colour, and circled around this familiar three-storey cottage. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia and thinking about it, she hadnt returned to this ce for more than a year. One day, she suddenly wanted to go home to look, but found that her key could not open the door. She called her father in panic, but was told that he had moved out. If she wanted something, she would have to go to Fang Xilei because the key was in her and Lou Yaoyaos hands. She asked: why? Lou Yuanzhi said: I have divorced your aunt Fang. Lou Yuanzhi was a proud man and with his personality, he would never do those kinds of things like clinging on and refusing to let go. He couldnt afford to lose that face. Fang Xilei was not a talkative person, and he will naturally not go and ask for trouble, so not many people knew that they were divorced. Divorce? Lou Qingqing was really shocked at that moment. She never thought that her father would divorce Fang Xilei so easily. In the story told by her mother, her parents were very in love, but suddenly the wealthydy Fang Xilei appeared out of nowhere and fell in love with her father, so she exhausted all kinds of vicious means to steal her father, and even threatened her father with his future. Even so, her father still chose her mother, but her mother was unwilling to make things difficult for her father so finally, she left. However, she did not expect that she was already pregnant. Later, her mother was found to be at the advanced stage of cancer. She was sent to her fathers house, but found that things seemed a little different from what she imagined. Fang Xilei did not seem to be crazily in love with her father. This woman could even be called as indifferent. But her mother would never have lied to her, so it must be this womans fault! However, the marriage that she had tried so hard to get previously, why did she let go of it so easily now? Lou Qingqing couldnt figure it out. After being surprised was joy, and then she felt pity, for this house. Her dad was too kind. He actually gave such an expensive vi to that mother and daughter pair. Thinking of the naive thoughts she had at that time, Lou Qingqing smiled bitterly. She lived in the lie woven by her mother for more than 20 years, but in the end she realised that the reality, after the lie was revealed, was so horrible. She suddenly thought of Lou Yaoyao, the woman she had thought that she would sh with for her whole life. Lou Yaoyao got married, unexpectedly, so suddenly, so quickly, and then soon, had a son, and she heard that her marriage was very blissful now. She hadnt spoken a word to Lou Yaoyao for several months. She had seen her from a distance before, she had passed her by before, and it seemed as if they never knew each other. It turned out that without the connection with her father, they were just strangers. She didnt know what exactly what this feeling, but she felt a bit lost. She had returned to this ce countless times and seemed to want to recollect something. Eight years ago, she was in this ce. When she first met Lou Yaoyao, she stood behind Fang Xilei, blinking her big eyes and curiously looking at herself. Lou Qingqing felt embarrassed at that time. At that time, her mother was kneeling on the ground, begging Fang Xilei, she red at Lou Yaoyao in humiliation, but never thought that Lou Yaoyao would smile brightly at her. Probably from that time, she had begun to hate Lou Yaoyao. Her (LYY)ughter was based on her (LQQ) sadness, so from the beginning, she hated Lou Yaoyao, the more she smiled at her, the more she hated it! Very extremely annoying! At that time, she was really childish. Chapter 30.2

Chapter 30 part2

Lou Qingqing nced at this house that contained all her dreams and hate, and left. Walking on the street alone, feeling lost and wondering where to go. Go home? Where was her home? Her father had bought an apartment in the city center by himself, and the female owner of the house will soon move in. When that timees, she will be detested again. Moreover, her father, who had been so happy with her previously, didnt even want to see her now. Lou Yuanzhi was no longer the general manager of the Fangjia Clothing Company. The ability of thepanys newly promoted general manager this year exceeded him by a lot. The status of the CEOs husband could no longer shelter him, and the news of his divorce from Fang Xilei has been unearthed. All kinds of rumors and judging eyes made him overwhelmed, so he resigned. However, he did not expect that this was just the beginning of a tragedy. Nopany was willing to use him. He was nearly 50 years old, in addition, the business circle was only so big. With just a little spread of information, it didnt take long for everyone to know, and he became a joke in the business world. His former passion had been idled away by the ease of life and for a time, he didnt know where to go and what to do. Once a person was negative, various negative emotions will be generated. He began regret readily agreeing to divorce Fang Xilei at that time. He began to regret that he did not contend for Fang Xileis property because of his loftiness. He began to regret a lot of things and he began to miss many things. In the end, he hated Lou Qingqing, the source that made him lose everything. If there was no Lou Qingqing, how could there be so many thingster. Without her, he would still be the general manager Lou who lived a luxurious life and was respected by others! But to turn back? Did he have a path to go back to? Unless he thought that he had not beenughed at enough. Hated by her father who shed looked up to him as a god, Lou Qingqing was heartbroken to the point of numbness. She didnt know how long she walked for disoriented. Finally, she saw a familiar building, a bar, that she had been before with Lou Yaoyao and her friends. The doorman seemed to want to stop her, but was stopped by another person. Maybe he also knew her. Now it was just at dusk, in this originally deserted bar, there was not a single guest at this time. Lou Qingqing sat down at the bar and the bartender asked her:. What do you want to drink? Anything. Lou Qingqing sat there for a long time daydreaming. Not knowing when there was someone sitting beside her. The man ordered wine and drank alone. Lou Qingqing nced sideways and was surprised: Chen Hao. Lou Qingqing! Why are you here? The two asked this sentence at the same time, and then they were silent together. She was more beautiful than before, but it was difficult to hide her sorrow in her expression. He was still as charming and handsome as before, but with a look of haggardness. The two unhappy people had nothing to say. Atst, Lou Qingqing spoke first, How are you doing? Chen Hao shook his head, and didnt seem to want to talk about his recent situation, but asked instead: What about you, what have you been doingtely, it seems that I havent seen you for a long time. Lou Qingqing also didnt know what to say to him, and he didnt ask further as it was just civilities. Thinking about it, they havent seen each other for a long time. In her memory, he was the chairman of the High School Student Union. He was gentle and considerate and she secretly fell in love with him for many years. Because of her inferiority, she dared not tell anyone. Until she found out that Lou Yaoyao liked him, she gathered the courage to vie with Lou Yaoyao. However, she gradually found that he was not as good as she had imagined, and her feelings gradually faded, leaving only the idea of ??arguing with Lou Yaoyao. Chapter 30.3

Chapter 30 part3

Lou Qingqing was also aware of Chen Haos recent situation. Theirpany s funds had a big problem and they were trying to borrow money everywhere, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand. In the end, the Lin family promised to lend the money, but the condition was for Chen Hao to marry Lin Fei. In fact, he was quite fortunate, for there was a woman who loved him so much, a woman who was a copy of Lou Yaoyao. Thinking of this, Lou Qingqingughed in mockery. She was probably one of the few women who saw through Chen Haos personality. In fact, from the beginning, Lin Fei was just an imitation of Lou Yaoyaos existence. Unfortunately, this replica was far from the genuine one. Chen Hao was not as good as Qin Zhi, and even the woman he was looking for was not as good. However, even so, Lin Fei loved Chen Hao and she loved him more than all the rest, and could even die for him. So, what else was Chen Hao not contented about? Lou Qingqing asked herself, was she contented? Of course, she was not satisfied, so thats why she was hesitant now. Should she leave the city with her boyfriend now? He loved her very much and treated her well. This was undoubted, but the woman who shed met coincidentally not long ago, imed to be his ex-wife and she told her that he was only pursuing the ultimate love, from getting to know each other, to knowing each other well, to being mutually in love, and to the sweetest and most beautiful marriage. In the end, he would look for the next rtionship while carrying his broken marriage and the hatred of his ex-wife. The woman looked at her with ridicule and sympathy. Lou Qingqing didnt know if this was true or not. She didnt even dare to ask, because she couldnt bear to leave this rtionship. Two frustrated people drank with wine and immersed themselves in their respective worlds. There used to be a thread called Lou Yaoyao that linked them together, but while they were immersed in it with countless ns waiting to be implemented, the woman named Lou Yaoyao suddenly withdrew. After deliberately nning for so long, yet there was nothing in return, it was really depressing till they wanted to go crazy. Lou Qingqing drank and drank, and suddenly cried. She said, Chen Hao, I regret it. He looked at her with a stern face, without the slightest desire to know. She cried inconsbly, as if she wanted to cry out all her lifes grievances. She regretted it toote and had no chance to turn back. She dreamt of the past countless times, waking up with joy, only to find that it was just a dream. Humans are just like this. Everything they once thought that they didnt mind, when they found that the other person didnt mind about it in the least, then did they realize that they had always minded it. But she couldnt go back. Chen Hao just watched Lou Qingqing cry quietly, without wanting to ask orfort. He was so tired that he didnt care about the life and death of other women. Both of them were simply losers. Those people have already walked out, but they were still standing in ce, and they could only watch their back as they walked further and further away. The two did not know how long they had been sitting in this bar until Lou Qingqing could not cry any more. She stood up and said, Chen Hao, goodbye[1]. Goodbye. Chen Hao replied indifferently. Then, lets never see each other again. Leaving that bar, Lou Qingqing walked alone at the night market. Suddenly, hearing a familiar voice, she nced back and smiled. Sister Henceforth, we are just strangers. [1] Bye in chinese is written as ټ C which literally means see you again. So next line says not see again with reference to that. Chapter 31.1

Chapter 31 part1

There are three pains in love: wishing for it but not having it, not being able to give up, and not treasuring what you have. In these three pains, Qin Zhi possessed two of these. Towards Lou Yaoyao, he wasnt able to have her love, but was unable to give up. Qin Zhi was a very targeted person who knew what he wanted and what he should do, but only towards Lou Yaoyao, he was helpless. Because he really loved this stupid woman to death. He used to think that he and Lou Yaoyao would not let each other off unless one side gave up first. But the unexpected happened so suddenly. When he received the text message saying Ill wait for you toe back CYao Yao, Lou Yaoyao might never know how shocked and pleasantly surprised he was. But, more of it was doubts. When he tidied up his emotions, a long time had already passed, and he hurriedly sent a text message to reply Lou Yaoyao. He was too anxious and just hurriedly sent an Okay word, and did not even add any punctuation mark. After he sent it, he regretted that the text message he sent back was too short. Will Lou Yaoyao misunderstand that he didnt pay enough attention to it, but then he thought about it andughed at himself in mockery, maybe she didnt even take it seriously and only sent him a message in a spur of a moment. He was such a fool that just a text message from Lou Yaoyao made him so excited that he couldnt control himself. Even though he knew being like this was like a fool, but he still foolishly lost sleep over it. When he went back the next day, his mood became good uncontrobly, and he even made a joke with the secretary who he was always not very fond of. As long as he thought of Lou Yaoyao waiting for him, his heart was full of happiness and he couldnt stop himself from smiling, he was probably too easily contented. But soon, the illusory dream was broken. Lou Yaoyao didnt wait for him, and even went out to y with Chen Hao knowing that he would return today. The more expectations there were, the greater the pain. Even though he knew that it could have just been a spur of the moment for Lou Yaoyao and should not be treated for real, but he still took it seriously. The moment he realised the truth, he really felt very tired, his heart was tired. When he received her phone call, he was a little reluctant to pick it up, but his body acted a step faster than his thoughts. On the phone, she was still arrogant and wilful, and the first thing she did was to shower me on others. Yet, he didnt dislike it at all. Really, even he didnt think he could be saved. He imagined that she would say many things and make any sort of demands, but never thought she would simply say Qin Zhi, lets go on a date tomorrow! It was such a simple sentence that made him panic and didnt respond for a long time. He tried to reply to her in a joking tone: Okay, of course Im fine, but Im just afraid you might stand me up. Wasnt this his real thoughts. She naturally said that she wouldnt, and he gave a nonmittal reply to that, and just hung up the phone quickly. After being so confused, what mood was there left to hold a meeting. Without knowing it, he drove to Lou Yaoyaos house. In the past two years, whenever he was in a bad mood, he liked to drive to her house and daydream for a while, but Lou Yao Yao never found out. He couldnt help thinking that she said to go on a date tomorrow, and what day was it tomorrow. Thanks to Yaoyao who had kept talking about it, even if he didnt want to, he remembered that tomorrow was Chen Haos birthday. Should he be feeling happy? The girl he loved had finally grown up and had learnt to use another man to make the man that she liked jealous. Ruan Sinan once said that the reason why his rtionship with Lou Yaoyao hade to this point was that he was too smart. If he was a little dumber, had lesser things to mind, and had started a reckless and enthusiastic pursuit like a hot-headed man in love, then he and Lou Yaoyao would definitely not hade to this point. Although he knew that Ruan Sinan was right, Qin Zhi couldnt do it, because he had no way to abandon all scruples. he couldnt bring everything to the open and after that, only be strangers with Lou Yaoyao. He couldnt let that happen. He was too clear about Lou Yaoyaos character. She always meant what she said, and her choices were ck and white; ept or reject, she would only choose one, leaving no room for other options.

Chapter 31 part2

Qin Zhi was the person who was most familiar with Lou Yaoyao, so he could quickly discover her change. When he saw her the next day, she wore an expression of surprise in a long time, and it seemed as if she had not seen him for a long time. Lou Yaoyao then proposed to ride a bike to go on the date, and acted as if she was taking things very seriously, and they were really going on a date. He drove the car into the garage and when he came out, he found out that Lou Yaoyao was confronting Chen Hao and Lin Fei. He didnt know if it was his illusion, but at that moment, the look in Lou Yaoyaos eyes as she looked at the two people was filled with such coldness it was like she was looking at her enemies. She clenched her fist tightly as her nails cut into her flesh. He felt distressed as he looked and could only hold her hand and gently opened up her clenched fists. Her hand was very cold, but not as cold as his heart. He led her away from that ce, how he wished he could continue holding her like this, to a ce where they would never be disturbed again. She was sitting in the back seat of the bicycle, like when she was a child, resting her cheek on his back, her hands tightly around his waist. For a long time, she was always like a wayward child. She found happiness to see him make a spectacle of himself, liked to see him angry and liked to watch him mad. He knew this, so in order not to let her seed, he became less and less angry. He hadnt lost his temper for a long time, and now the anger that she thought, was just an act to make her happy. She was like a person recollecting past memories, walking on the steps of the past, and looking back on the past life. Lou Yaoyao, do you know, when you cried and said to me, What to do? I cant walk out anymore. How sad I was then. But even though I was so sad, I still insisted to tell you, I will stay with you. You dont know all these things. I really want to lose my temper with you, I want to leave you alone, and I want to leave you so that you can never find me again. Then, will you suddenly think of me again one day? I really really want to, but why do you keep crying, dont you know, as soon as you cry, I have no clue what to do with you? However, Qin Zhi could only say these words in his heart. If one day he gave up, it was probably that he could no longer love her. She always liked to say those naive words that will make people believe to be true. She said that when she grows up she will marry him. She wanted to be a sponger, so he had to work hard to make money to support her. She once said so many things, but in the end, she couldnt remember it at all. Knowing that it is all deceptive, why does he still always cant help but believe it? Maybe, she was too good at deceiving people. Everything that happened after that felt like a dream. They suddenly established a rtionship incredibly fast. In fact, he found a lot of things puzzling, such as when she was drunk why did she make him say that he will not wait for her anymore, and for example, who was this person that she had made him wait for her, and why did she suddenly no longer liked Chen Hao, and also why did she suddenly chose to be with him. These mysteries had all been bothering him. When he heard Lou Yaoyao say that she was pregnant, Qin Zhi did not actually feel happy. He felt lost because he did not think that Lou Yaoyao would keep the child. In the end, it turned out that he waspletely wrong. Lou Yaoyao not only kept the child, she was also willing to marry him. What did this mean? This meant that this woman was willing to live with you for her lifetime. At that moment, he was probably really stupefied by happiness. If a woman agreed to your proposal and was willing to have a child for you, what else was there to doubt? Hold onto her and live a good life together. Chapter 31.3 (END)

Chapter 31 part3

After a hundred marriage proposals, Lou Yaoyao finally married him. To be honest, a hundred times was a bit tiring, but as long as she was happy, even if it was a hundred times or a thousand times, why not? After all, marriage was only once in a lifetime. As a newly-married couple and new parents, the babys arrival left them a little overwhelmed and caused a lot of jokes. In those days, the couple lived like stepping on a wire, in a state of fear. Some people say that young couples were the most unstable couples, because their love was established by passion, and when passion was worn away by marriage, then their rtionship could only walk towards destruction. Qin Zhi would wonder sometimes, will Lou Yaoyao be tired of the dull marriage life? When he was thinking of this thought, Lou Yaoyao was holding Qin Yi and spanking his bottom. This rascal went to y with mud in the garden again. Not only that, he also stered ayer of mud onto the neighbouring childs face, and lied to the other party to eat several mouthfuls. This child was really getting worse and worse! Time can really change everything. The naive and wilful little girl from that time now looked more and more like a vulgar aunt. She was obviously only a young woman in her early twenties, but her temper was getting more and more irritable, and she was getting fonder of fussing over small things and roaring over a small matter. She was disciplining the child all day, and sometimesined that the neighbour s dog was too noisy, or sometimesined that the salt in the house ran out. All day long, talking about matters of the house, which made one tired of listening to it. Looking at Lou Yaoyaos disciplining the child with no image at all, Qin Zhi held a tea cup and couldnt help but chuckle. As a result, Lou Yaoyao heard it and red: What are you looking at, go and cook! Yes, Ill do it right away. Qin Zhi immediately conceded and looked at his Honourable wife pleasingly. Lou Yaoyao lifted her chin with satisfaction and lifted up the muddy fat boy to take a bath. As she walked, she chided the little fatty. However, although she was full of vicious words, she had a smile on her face. This was their fifth year of marriage. At night, she curled up in his arms and after being exhausted for a day, she soon fell asleep. In his arms, she had a sweet and happy smile, just like many years ago and it had never changed over the years. Was she tired of it? Obviously not. Although, on the surface, she seemed fed up but, in fact, she found pleasure in it. Was he tired of it? Of course not, he was holding the whole world in his arms, so how could he get tired. The door of the room was pushed open, and a small one sneakily came in. Qin Zhi smiled and waved him over. The little fatty immediately opened the door and ran in. He climbed into the bed, squeezed between the two toy down, and soon started snoring. sping the mother and son pair under his arm, Qin Zhi closed his eyes with satisfaction. He still wore that simple bracelet on his left hand. Actually, there was a secret in this bracelet. From the first day that he put it on, he had found it. Turning off the lights, you could see the luminous words in the beads: Lou Yaoyao LOVES Qin Zhi forever. The beads were not big, and the font was a bit vague, so one could only guess what they were. Over the years, the beads also lost their luminous effect. He didnt tell Lou Yaoyao that he knew the secret, but he kept wearing it and didnt take it off. She also didnt say it, but they had a tacit understanding. In fact, true love was to be willing to look at each other from twenty to eighty years old and not feel fed up and real happiness was that a woman was willing to follow you, from being a wife (Lao po) to an old woman (Lao po po). Being satisfied in the ordinary was never an easy matter. Qin Zhi felt that he was very fortunate for he had met a woman who was willing to apany him and grow old together, and found pleasure in it. He still had a lot of mysteries in his heart, but he believed that one day, she will tell him. When she had be a grandma, she surely wont be able to hold back prattling, will she? Therefore, he was not in a hurry. He had a whole lifetime to slowly unravel the mysteries. Lou Yaoyao, Ill only give up on you unless I could no longer love you. His persistence finally had her turning back in return. Thank you for being willing to turn back. The author has something to say: Feeling slightly mncholic. In fact, wasnt Lou Yaoyao very fortunate as well, to have met a man who was willing to apany her to grow old, and a man whom felt happiness from this. & the author rmends another of her novel: 818ҵļƷϰ Alliephants corner: AND ITS OVER!
