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

"Qinghe, if you want to be prominent in public, you have to suffer in private. We all come from poor backgrounds. In those impoverished years, we can't talk about having any noble character. And don't listen to those inspirational quotes online, they're all bullshit."

"Remember this, I will treat you well for the rest of my life and will never harm you. Being a womanizer has nothing to do with character."

"No matter how things develop between Tan Yan and me in the future, it will never affect how much you mean to me."

"Brother, what if I ask you to marry me?"

"It's too early to talk about this now. We're still too young. There's no need to get married so early. You should focus on your work, learn more, and take some time to mature."

"As for me, I'll continue to pursue rich women, keep pursuing them, accumulate more wealth, and build up more capital."

"I'll visit you when I have time, and I'll come to keep you company often. Things are different now. You're my woman, and I'll fulfill my responsibilities as a boyfriend by spending time with you a few times a week. I won't let you be a widow."

"Ugh, I don't need it."

"Hey Qinghe, shall we play a game?"

"What game?"

"I can play the guitar, the flute, and the lusheng (a traditional reed pipe instrument)."

"Do you want to learn?"

"How do I learn it?"

"Come on, I'll teach you. I guarantee you'll learn it!"

Ding Yang lifted the blanket.

"what……"

"Ugh, disgusting, how can anyone learn like this?"

"..."

"no……"

"what……"

Sigh, thankfully, this girl is obedient.

"Brother, you're disgusting!"

"Qinghe, there are plenty of people who want to learn musical instruments from me. I don't like them, and I'm not willing to teach them. I'm the lead singer of the band."

"Neuropathy…"

"Qinghe..."

"Let me teach you again..."

"..."

"elder brother……"

……,

"Brother, promise me you'll treat me well from now on, okay?"

"Of course, don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Brother, does your shoulder hurt?"

"A little, it's your own fault for biting randomly."

"It's all your fault."

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

"What happened? I gave the 1 yuan you gave me to my mom."

"Oh, so what if you gave it to her? It's for your mom, not for anyone else."

"Brother, how much does it cost to build a two-story house in the countryside these days?"

Why are you asking this?

"A while ago, it rained and the back of my kitchen collapsed, almost burying my mother inside. That kitchen was built by my dad with adobe bricks and covered with a layer of straw. It leaked when it rained, and the adobe bricks softened and collapsed."

"My house was built when my grandfather was still alive. It's a mud-brick house and it's been there for decades. I'm really afraid that it will collapse in a heavy rain and bury my parents inside."

"My dad isn't very capable. He works as a laborer in the countryside, earning a few dozen yuan a day. All the money he's earned over the years has gone to my brother and me for our education."

"Didn't you say Tan Yan promised to give me a 2 yuan year-end bonus? I want my dad to tear down the house and rebuild it, even if it's just a bare brick house, at least a brick house won't collapse."

"Brother, if I work a year and save a little, I can save 2 yuan from my salary. With the 2 yuan year-end bonus, I'll have 4 yuan. Add the 1 yuan you gave me, and I'll have 5 yuan."

"Shouldn't 5 yuan be enough to build a basic house in the countryside?"

"Qinghe, you've only been working for a short time, and you're already thinking so far ahead?"

"Brother, when you came to my house you only saw the front, you didn't see the back. The walls are all crooked, I'm really afraid the house will collapse one day."

"Qinghe, how about this, let your dad rebuild a house?"

"Brother, that's what I'm saying, but if it's really going to be built, it'll have to wait until next year. I haven't received my year-end bonus yet, so I'll have to work for at least a year."

"No need, Qinghe. Just call your dad next time and tell him that building a simple two-story house shouldn't cost much."

"Most houses in rural areas are built using prefabricated panels, and 8 to 10 yuan should be enough. I'll cover that cost."

"Brother, no need. You've already given me enough money. I can't ask you for more."

Ding Yang thought to himself, "If you really didn't want it, you wouldn't have brought up the house with me. After all this talk, you just want me to spend money."

"Qinghe, I don't have much more. You know the situation. Tan Yan didn't give me any cash either. But I can still squeeze out 10 yuan."

"Let's settle this then. I'll pick it up for you when I get back to Shenzhen."

"Brother, you really don't need to."

"Qinghe, I'm not a fool. I have my own principles. I'm very grateful that you gave me your first time. It's only right that I take care of your family. Let's settle it like this."

Qinghe turned to her side and lay on top of Dingyang.

"Thank you, brother!"

"..."

Qinghe took the initiative to kiss Dingyang.

……

"Brother, I don't want it anymore."

"What's wrong?"

"pain!"

"Let's go to sleep, okay!"

Just then, the phone rang.

"Qinghe, it's Tan Yan calling. Don't make a sound."

"Hey! Sis!"

"Xiaoyang, where are you?"

"Sister, I'm almost in Guangzhou, I think it's called Huadu. It's not far from Shenzhen, it should only take a little over two hours, but I can't keep my eyes open anymore, so I'll stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning."

"Oh, that's fine too. Safety first when driving. Staying overnight is also good."

"Sis, how's your mom?"

"At the hospital, after the surgery, I get two injections a day. Xiao Liu and the others are with me, so it's nothing serious."

"Oh, that's good!"

"Honey, did your mom come to Shenzhen with you?"

"We're here. We just finished eating, and my mom went back to her room to rest."

"oh!"

"Honey, what time will you be home tomorrow?"

"It'll probably be around noon. I need to take my sister and the others there first."

"Okay, let's have lunch together at home."

"OK."

"Baby, do you miss me?"

"Of course."

"Hehe, you're staying at a hotel, so don't cause any trouble."

You're overthinking it.

"Honey, I went to the hospital today and also saw a doctor in the OB-GYN department. The doctor said it's okay to have sex now, as long as you're careful."

Speechless.

"Sister, for the sake of the child, please bear with it!"

"Hehe, it's okay."

Ding Yang had no choice but to change the subject, saying that Qing He was still there.

"Sis, has your dad gone to work these past couple of days?"

"Go ahead, his secretary, Xiao Li, will pick him up. I told him not to go, even my dad doesn't want him to, but he's motivated now."

"Baby, I'm going to rest at home for a few more days before I go back to work. I've been so bored after not working for two months."

"Yes, going to work is fine, but remember to get some rest."

"It's okay, I have a break room in my office. As long as I don't go to the construction site, I'll be fine."

"Sis, now that you're at work, I'll be your secretary. I'll pick you up and drop you off every day and accompany you to work."

"really?"

"certainly!"

"Alright, then you'll be my secretary."

"Hehe, I've heard a saying: 'When there's work to be done, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, the secretary does it.'"

"Hate!"
