Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Grandpa, did you contact someone to buy a pig this afternoon?"

"It won't be that quick, let's go tomorrow."

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. I have some errands to run in town tomorrow morning."

Go!

After taking a shower, Ding Yang lay on the bed. He still felt that his own bed was more comfortable. Looking at the pictures of goddesses on the wall, he had many thoughts. He used to "take matters into his own hands" but now he didn't have that thought anymore.

He picked up his phone and called Tan Yan.

"Hey, sis!"

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"I just finished showering and am lying in bed. I miss you."

I miss you too.

"Sis, what are you doing?"

"Just got home, just looked at something in the study, nothing much."

"Sis, it's inconvenient for me to top up my phone credit at home. If I call you, it will incur long-distance roaming charges. Could you top up my phone credit using your computer later?"

"Okay, I'll top up your account on Taobao."

How are Grandpa and Grandma?

"I'm alright, I'm still in pretty good health."

"Sister, my cousin Xiaocui has quit her job. I brought her back with me. When I go back to Dongguan, I will bring her with me, and she will work at your company then."

"Okay, no problem."

"Sister, I want to lie next to you. I feel like I can't live without you. When I'm not by your side, I feel so empty inside."

"Hehe, I also want to lie next to you, I like sleeping on you."

"Um!"

Did your parents ask me anything today?

"Yes, I told them you went back to your hometown and will be coming up in a few days. My parents now treat you like a son-in-law, and they care about you too."

"Thank you, I will take good care of them in the future."

"Sis, I'm a bit tired after driving for two days. I want to go to bed early. You should rest too. This is a long-distance roaming call, so let's not call anymore."

"Okay, I'll top up your account later. You should go to sleep early, and we'll talk again tomorrow."

"Um!"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yang covered his eyes and tried to sleep. A few minutes later, he received a text message on his phone: "Payment of 200 yuan."

I was drifting off to sleep when my phone suddenly woke me up.

"Hello!"

"Xiaoyang, it's me."

"Jingyi!"

"Xiaoyang, what's wrong with you? You're not even at the store anymore, and you didn't even call me."

"Jingyi, I'm sorry, I've been busy these past few days and I went back to my hometown."

"Xiaoyang, I saw Xiulian today. She wouldn't say anything and seemed very sad. What happened? Did you hurt her?"

"No? How could I possibly hurt her?"

"Xiaoyang, did you have sex with her?"

"Nonsense, that's not true."

"Really not?"

"Of course it's true, I really didn't touch her."

"Then why does she look so sad?"

"Jingyi, to be honest with you, I've already transferred my shop to my classmate, and I probably won't be going to Chang'an very often in the future."

"What's going on? What are you planning to do?"

"I'm going to school, to college, to study accounting."

"Xiaoyang, you were doing so well, why do you suddenly want to go back to school?"

"Jingyi, I won't lie to you anymore. I found a girlfriend who's quite wealthy. She told me to go back to school, and I think it makes sense. After all, I'm still young. Studying accounting for two years might come in handy in the future."

"Ding Yang, what kind of woman is she that you're so willing to give up?"

"How should I put it? I don't know how to describe it, but I really like her now."

How old are you?

"40 years old."

"My goodness, are you dating an old lady? She's so old, how could you do that? I despise you."

"Jingyi, love has nothing to do with age, I don't care about that."

"Brother, please stop being so self-satisfied, okay? You're just after her money, aren't you? Don't try to make it sound so noble. What's with all this talk about love having nothing to do with age? There are plenty of old ladies sweeping the streets, why don't you go and date them?"

"Jingyi, go ahead and scold me, ridicule me. It's true, I'm like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water now. Just despise me."

"How much money did this woman give you?"

"Not much, but I've really fallen in love with it."

"You're kidding me!"

"Did Xiulian catch you sleeping with that woman?"

"No, it wasn't that. I told her everything when I was leaving the day before yesterday, and I even insulted her."

"What do you mean? How did you insult her?"

"I went to her house. She got a little excited and wanted to have sex with me. She almost lost control. I told her to go take a shower first, and she did. I then secretly ran away."

"You're such a fucking scumbag! Running away at a time like this, how can you face her?"

"Jingyi, I had no choice. If I slept with her, she would have an even harder time giving up, so I had to resort to this."

"You're really cunning. How could you even think of that? You tricked someone into going to the bathroom, and then you ran away after you finished showering."

"Jingyi, I haven't seen you for the past few days. How are you?"

"I'm fine."

"Xiaoyang, so have you and Xiulian broken up completely now?"

"It never even started, so there's no question of breaking up. It's just that we probably won't see each other again."

"Hehe, this is good. Without her, we can develop a relationship."

"You're talking nonsense again, aren't you? There's no way there's anything between us. I've already told you, I already have a rich girlfriend."

"Xiaoyang, you're 40 years old. You can't possibly like her. You're just looking for some money to play around with. I understand, and I don't care."

"I've been in relationships before. If you don't mind, we're even, okay?"

"Jingyi, I don't want to hurt you. Let's be good friends from now on."

"Hmph, I might not agree."

"Oh, you went back to your hometown. When are you coming back to Dongguan?"

"I'll stay home with my grandpa for a few days and sell pigs. I'll probably be there for about a week. After school starts in a few days, I'll go to Dongguan."

"oh!"

"You transferred your small shop to your classmate, did you also transfer your dump truck to him?"

"Yes, I gave him everything. He's my childhood friend, we're from the same village."

"Xiaoyang, have you ever had feelings for me?"

"You're so good to me. When my shoulders hurt, you often massage them for me. How can I not be tempted by a little flirtation between a man and a woman? But I'm rational."

"Thanks!"

"Jingyi, you've seen Xiulian. Please comfort her for me and tell her to forget me. Even if she scolds me a few times, it's fine."

"I asked her today, but she wouldn't say anything. How was I supposed to know you two almost had sex? At first, I thought you were bullying her."

"Xiaoyang, have you contacted your school yet?"

"Not yet, she's looking for one for me, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"oh!"

"Alright, take good care of yourself then, and remember to think of me."

"Jingyi, I'm so sorry to have disappointed you."

"No, maybe there will be a surprise next time."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yang went to sleep.
