"Jiejie, don't cry anymore. If you keep crying, your eyes will hurt, and it won't look good," Qiu Xuning said. Qiu Haiyan wiped her tears and said, "I won't cry. Ningning, what you just told me, I need to think about it carefully, I really need to think it through." She seemed to remember something, looked at Qiu Xuning, and asked, "The girl you mentioned, do you know her?" Qiu Xuning's eyes flickered and he hesitated before saying, "Well, I kind of know her... she's the mother of one of my…- 335.0 K • Completed
- "Jiejie... if you want to cry, then cry." He said softly, pulling a packet of tissues from his pocket. His habit of always carrying tissues came in handy at times like this. He couldn't bring himself to say things like "Don't cry," and he understood that at times like this, Qiu Haiyan would feel better after crying. Although he didn't like to cry, he knew that once you cried, all your emotions would ease up a lot. "I'm in so much pain," Qiu Haiyan cried, repeatedly murmuring as she…

- The turmoil caused by Qiu Shuohai is still ongoing, and Qiu Haiyan has rushed back, extremely angry with Qiu Shuohai, immediately starting to scold him. Actually, this family isn't only supported by Qiu Shunming’s salary. Qiu Haiyan also contributes household expenses, which amount to more than six thousand yuan a month. If they manage to save a little, they could still put some money aside. However, times are tough now—everything is getting more expensive, but salaries aren't increasing. Moreover,…

- Qiu Xuning hesitated after hearing Zhou Mingmei’s words. This wasn’t entirely He Zhiyuan’s fault—“Qiu Xuning” was in the wrong too. He shouldn’t have stolen someone’s watch, and after being caught, not only refused to return it but even cursed at the owner. If it had been him, he would’ve been angry as well. But Qiu Xuning didn’t dare say it aloud. If he did, the fact that He Zhiyuan owned an expensive watch might no longer stay a secret, and when that happened, He Zhiyuan might just…

- The sun was shining brightly that day. Most of the people in the class were outside soaking up the sun, and Qiu Xuning walked to the corridor to join them. Yang Siyue leaned against the railing and spoke to Qiu Xuning, "Look, the school beauty from the next class is out." Qiu Xuning followed the direction of her finger and, sure enough, saw a tall and slim girl with her back to them, talking to some other girls. Qiu Xuning withdrew his gaze, shivering slightly, and placed his hand on his soft,…

- He Zhiyuan looked at him like this, and Qiu Xuning immediately felt uneasy. He stammered, "What are you looking at me for?" He Zhiyuan didn’t answer and continued staring at Qiu Xuning’s face, following his own thoughts. Qiu Xuning was most afraid of He Zhiyuan looking at him so seriously and deeply. Even his thin eyelids couldn’t bear the weight of his gaze, so he could only slightly turn his face away to avoid He Zhiyuan’s eyes. His voice became much softer and a little distant. "...I won't…

- Qiu Xuning’s body clock was always precise. He would wake up at ten past five, and by the time he had brushed his teeth, washed his face, and finished breakfast, it would be just after half past five. Starting from a certain morning, Zhou Mingmei began boiling an egg for him to take to school. That boiled egg usually ended up in He Zhiyuan’s hands, and in the end, the two of them would split it in half. It seems that the hand cream Qiu Xuning bought for He Zhiyuan, which is meant to prevent…

- Time quickly slipped away again, and a few days passed. By the weekend holiday, Zhou Mingmei and Qiu Shunming were both away, leaving only Qiu Xuning, Qiu Zhaozhao, and He Zhiyuan at home. Qiu Zhaozhao turned on the small heater and called Qiu Xuning over to keep warm. Qiu Xuning sat on the small stool, shifting uncomfortably, looking as if he couldn’t sit still. Qiu Zhaozhao glanced at him and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” Qiu Xuning whispered, “Can I ask He Zhiyuan to come down…

- Qiu Haiyan’s face darkened. “Are you actually talking back to me now!?” Neck stiff, Qiu Shuohai shot back, “Talking back? The hell, I’m just telling the truth! If it weren’t for that Zheng guy, what could you even do? You can’t accomplish a damn thing. If I had some rich partner like you, do you think I’d still be stuck at home? I’d already be a boss by now!” Qiu Haiyan was furious. “You think I’m living off a man? If I really were, I’d already have a house, already be…

- It seemed to be getting colder by the day. Qiu Xuning had to put on an extra sweater and wrap a gray scarf around his neck just to barely keep out the wind that slipped through every gap. When he left the house that morning, Zhou Mingmei slipped fifty yuan and a boiled egg into his pocket, telling him, “Don’t come back for lunch. I need to help your sister at the pig farm, so I won’t have time to cook. Go get yourself something decent to eat outside and don’t just eat at the cafeteria.” The…
