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

"Brother, once the property certificate is issued, I hope you'll leave her, okay?"

"Brother, I know how important money is, but you already have a big house in Shenzhen. No matter how much money you have in the future, you'll be very happy."

"We are still young and can create our own wealth. She is over 40 and so assertive. You can't be without pressure if you're with her. If you two go shopping, you will be looked down upon by the world."

"We're from the same place. If we were together, your grandparents would definitely like it."

"Qinghe, I will leave her after the baby is born, but as for whether we will break up, I really can't be sure right now."

"Brother, we're both poor. We've been poor since we were little. I'm not afraid of being poor. I just want to be with you. I'd be willing to work in a factory and tighten screws together."

"Qinghe, I don't want you to be poor, and I can't bear to see you working as a screwdriver. I'll take good care of you from now on."

"Brother, if you want to take good care of me, then stay with me and stay by my side."

"Okay, I'll try to spend time with you whenever I can."

"Oh, brother, I'm going back tomorrow. What if my parents notice something's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"Walking? My mom's been through this, she'll notice something's wrong. What am I supposed to explain if she asks me?"

"I really hadn't thought about that, so let's be honest."

"Brother, if I tell you the truth, then you have no choice but to marry me. My parents will go to your grandparents."

"My aunt is your second aunt. If they find out, what do you think they will do?"

"Oh dear, I really hadn't thought of that. My second uncle has a terrible temper. If he gets too attached to me, he'll definitely break my legs."

"Qinghe, then just play dumb and deny it altogether."

"If your parents ask what our relationship is, just say we're friends."

"Nonsense, do you think my mom is stupid? She can tell at a glance that I've only been away for a short time. The last time I sent money home, my mom asked me where the money came from."

"I told her it was from you, and she immediately asked me if Xiaoyang liked me. I said no, it was just a loan. She even called me a silly girl."

"Qinghe, it's okay. As long as you don't admit it, there's nothing they can do."

"Leave the rest to me. If they ask you again whether Ding Yang likes you or is pursuing you, just tell her to ask me, and I'll answer."

"Um!"

"Qinghe, when was your last period?"

"Oh, you're asking that too?"

"No, I just wanted to check if you're in your fertile window."

"I can't remember exactly, it must have been more than ten days."

"That could be a dangerous period."

"Qinghe, I'm going downstairs to buy food. Don't go down. Just rest in your room. I'll pack it up and bring it up. I'll also go to the pharmacy to buy you some medicine."

"We're still young; it would be troublesome if she got pregnant."

"Oh! Then hurry up, I'm a little scared being alone in the hotel."

"Hmm, very soon!"

Ding Yang got up and quickly went downstairs.

After Ding Yang left, Qing He picked up her phone.

"Hey, Mom!"

"Qinghe, are you off work?"

"Mom, I'm on my way home. Ding Yang's grandma's birthday is the day after tomorrow, her 70th birthday. I'm riding in his car and coming back with him."

"Oh, just the two of you?"

"Yes."

"It's very late now, will you be able to get home tonight?"

"We won't get there tonight. We're in Chenzhou, we'll spend the night on the road, and we'll arrive home by noon tomorrow."

"Mom, I'll be passing through the county town tomorrow. Is there anything else we need to buy for the family? I'll take it back with me."

"We have everything we need at home, so don't waste your money. It's good that you're back; you don't need to buy anything."

"Mom, Grandma Dingyang is having a birthday celebration tomorrow night. You and Dad should go eat there too."

"Oh, no need. They're barely related, we don't usually keep in touch."

"Mom, listen to me."

"Qinghe, are you dating Ding Yang?"

"Mom, if so, would you support it?"

"Of course, although Xiaoyang's family isn't well-off and he has no parents, he's a very handsome boy, and your father and I are both satisfied with him. However, your aunt said that Dingyang seems to have a girlfriend."

"Mom, then go find my aunt and ask her to act as matchmaker and settle this matter."

"what……"

"Qinghe, you like Ding Yang?"

"Um!"

"Mom, all I can say is that Ding Yang now is not the same Ding Yang as before. He is very rich. No one in our village or even our town is richer than him."

"Uh...you're just bragging."

"Mom, just listen to me, you'll find out tomorrow."

"Yeah?"

"Mom, is Dad home?"

"He's working as a laborer in Tianjiawan and hasn't come back yet, but he should be back soon."

"Mom, I'm not talking to you anymore. Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow. Tell Dad not to go out tomorrow afternoon and to go to Ding Yang's house for a banquet."

"understood."

Ding Yang went to a restaurant not far from the hotel, ordered three dishes to go, and then went to a pharmacy to buy a box of "Yuting" (a traditional Chinese medicine).

Return to hotel room,

"Qinghe, open the door."

"Brother, wait for me a moment, let me get dressed."

Qinghe quickly got dressed.

The door opened.

"Qinghe, we've already done *that*, so we don't need to wear clothes anymore."

"Brother, that won't work. I can't relax, I'm not used to it."

"Alright, let's eat!"

"Um!"

"Take this medicine first."

"oh!"

"Qinghe, after we've eaten, how about we go for a stroll around Chenzhou city?"

"I'm not going. My lower abdomen is a little uncomfortable, and I don't want to go anywhere."

"Okay, let's go to bed early and leave early tomorrow."

"Um!"

After finishing her meal, Qinghe went to wash up.

Ding Yang lit a cigarette, tidied the sheets, and prepared to go to sleep.

The azaleas are in full bloom.

I can't express my feelings. Men are all fucking bastards.

Qinghe walked out of the restroom.

Ding Yang hugged her tightly.

"Qinghe!"

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to hold you."

"Brother, I just went to the toilet and I bled a lot again."

"Qinghe, I will treat you well from now on."

"Um!"

"Brother, don't touch me tonight. I'm not feeling well. Let's go to sleep early and get up early tomorrow. I want to see my parents as soon as possible."

"Um!"

……

The two got up and washed up around 5 a.m. the next day.

"Qinghe, check if anything was left behind."

"No, I've packed them all in boxes."

"Let's go downstairs and check out."

"Brother, will they dock my deposit if the sheets get dirty?"

"No, let's go! It doesn't matter if it's deducted, it's not a big deal."

"oh!"
