A life of clearness

Chapter 160: Is it a dream? Or not? Transformed into a butterfly (Part )

The living and education standards in rural areas are very different from those in first-tier and second-tier cities. Even though Qin Jianjun and Rong Lili are ordinary wage earners in big cities, years of hard work have barely allowed them to have a small place to live.

"Your sister is used to living in that room. Talk to her about changing the current bed to a bunk bed so you can share it. She is making a fuss." Rong Lili said as she opened the door. It was a very small room. Apart from a bed and a cabinet, there was only room to sleep.

"So I've vacated your Uncle Qin's study room just for you."

Rong Qing looked around the small space and did not complain. Instead, she said something she had never said before, "Thank Uncle Qin for me."

Rong Lili smiled when she heard this. "The quilt and bed sheet are all new. They were just put on after being washed and dried. Sit down and try to see if it's comfortable."

Rong Qing sat down obediently.

This bed is a sofa bed and is very soft.

It felt familiar because she would spend the next six nights in this bed.

There is also this cabinet, and the smell of this room... Rong Qing is familiar with them. Soon, there will be a small desk on the bed, a perforated board, a night light, and many other small items here.

"The hut of the borrowing girl." Rong Qing sighed.

"It's comfortable, right?" Rong Lili sat next to Rong Qing.

"Yeah." Nodded.

"Then mom wants to discuss something with you."

Here it comes. Rong Qing knew what Rong Lili was going to say later, but she had no intention of changing it. "I'm listening."

"Your Uncle Qin is very happy that you can come, but after all, you are not his biological child. With our family's current situation, it is very troublesome to introduce ourselves to other people when we go out to socialize or entertain. So Mom hopes that you can call Uncle Qin dad in the future. Is that okay?"

Rong Lili's tone was very gentle.

"Okay." Rong Qing nodded.

Rong Lili didn't expect Rong Qing to nod so quickly. She originally planned to take it slow, so she continued, "There's one more thing. I want to change your surname to Rong like your mother, okay? Otherwise, other people will be surprised. For example, they will ask: Dad's surname is Qin, Mom's surname is Rong, why is your surname Yu?"

"Mom doesn't need your last name Qin. If your last name is Rong, it won't matter."

"Okay." Rong Qing nodded again, "My last name is Rong, what's my name?"

"How about calling me Rong Qin?" Rong Lili explained, "Qin is your uncle Qin's last name."

Is it as casual as the name Yu Rong? Rong Qing smiled.

"It's the sunny one with the sun character next to it," Rong Qing said softly, "the sunny one after the rain, the sunny one when it's about to snow."

"You are better than mom. Now that you say that, you will sound more cultured when you introduce yourself to others." Rong Lili said with a smile, "Then mom will call you Qingqing from now on. As for your sister Ai Rong, we all call her Rong Rong, you can just call her Rong Rong. She is only in the fifth grade now. You have good grades, so you can help her with her homework when you are free."

"Okay." Rong Qing agreed with a smile.

However, agreeing is one thing, and whether to do it is another. Rong Qing is determined to do something, she will do it even if she doesn't agree. And what she doesn't want to do is to make a promise, she will not do it either.

"Then Mom won't disturb you to rest." Rong Lili hugged Rong Qing, then walked out and closed the door for Rong Qing.

……

There was no space for a chair in this small storage room, so the bed became Rong Qing's seat.

Rong Qing took off her shoes and socks and sat cross-legged as usual. She was thinking.

"Until now, I have been able to gradually control this body."

Originally, I just reluctantly said something in front of my second aunt that I had never said before. But now, there are obviously many more words that can be changed.

"Words and actions are trivial matters." What Rong Qing needed to consider was, "Why did the first illusion begin at this point in time? If I try my best to change what happens next, what will be the impact?"

In such a powerful and brilliant illusion, if there is any mistake, Rong Qing might be trapped forever. So she can't make any wrong decision.

"This place is so real." Rong Qing couldn't help but sigh, "From the very beginning... I didn't find any mistakes in the details."

From the moment she sat on the doorstep to eat, to the moment she entered her new home in the city, she almost thought that her journey through the world of cultivation was just a dream.

"At this point in time, I followed Rong Lili to this city... It was indeed the most important thing in my childhood."

Before that...

Rong Qing has been living with her second aunt's family. Her parents left her in their hometown and went out to work. There is no news about her biological father, but Rong Lili at least sends money back.

Rong Lili, who left Rong Qing to work outside, soon met her current partner, Qin Jianjun. She also had Qin Airong very soon. The new family of three was finally able to settle down in this city.

Qin Airong... is a good name. Rong Qing now thinks so. At least from the name, it can be seen that Qin Jianjun treats Rong Lili very well.

But Rong Qing didn't think so at the time. When she heard about it from her second aunt, she only felt angry.

I was so angry that my heart was tormented every moment.

She was left behind.

She was abandoned by the two people who should have loved her the most.

Doesn’t Yu Rong deserve to be loved and treated well?

But Rong Lili was so far away that Rong Qing could only suppress all her anger.

She was reluctant to call at first, but later she borrowed her second aunt's cell phone to call Rong Lili. It was not only because she still missed her mother, but also because she wanted to leave this mountain town and go to a better place.

Apart from sending more money back to express her apology at the beginning, it was not until now that Rong Lili was able to truly take Rong Qing in.

However, Rong Qing was still angry at that time. She should have gotten it, but it was already late.

"Not only love, but also material things." Rong Qing easily recalled her thoughts at that time. That was what she thought she deserved, but... "Love is inherently unfair. Since it is unfair, there will naturally be unfair treatment."

This has been the case since ancient times.

Always.

"Rong Lili originally loved Qin Airong more. After all, she raised her from childhood, not to mention that she was the daughter of the man she loved." Rong Qing took the schoolbag that fell on the bedside into her arms, "It's great that she can take on my responsibility."

Rong Qing is not a member of this family. Her joining will cause more than just financial difficulties for this family. Therefore, Qin Jianjun is indeed a good person. He loves Rong Lili very much and is willing to shoulder the responsibility with her. This is not easy.

However, Rong Qing was too young at that time and could only see her own anger, but was unable to see this point clearly.
