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

After the three finished breakfast, they went upstairs to get their luggage. Ding Yang checked out of the hotel and got back into the car to set off.

"Xiaoyang, we've arrived in Shenzhen. Let's go to the supermarket first."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy some things. Didn't you say Tan Yan's mother is in the hospital? I'll buy some nutritional supplements and some fruit. I can't go in empty-handed."

"OK!"

"Qinghe, I'll take you back to Gangxia Village first. You can rest for two more days before going to work."

"Brother, I'll go to work tomorrow. I've already missed two days. My job is easy, it'll be fine."

"Okay!"

"If anyone asks you about Sister Cui Cui, just say she went to the countryside in Hunan with you, understand?"

"oh!"

Do you have a house key on you?

"have!"

"That's good. Sister Cui Cui might not be home right now. She might be out having fun. You can rest at home and give her a call."

"I see."

At 10:30 a.m., Ding Yang arrived in Shenzhen and drove to Gangxia Village.

Ding Yang and Qing He got off the bus.

Open the trunk and take out Qinghe's luggage.

"Mom, wait for me in the car. I'll take the luggage up to Qinghe."

Ding Yang carried the suitcase upstairs.

Qinghe said, "Auntie, I'll go upstairs now. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

"Okay, take good care of yourself."

Goodbye, Auntie!

The two went upstairs to the fourth floor, where Qinghe opened the door.

Liu Cuicui is not home.

Qinghe hugged Dingyang tightly.

"Brother, I can't bear to part with you."

"Qinghe, get some rest first. You didn't sleep well last night either. You need to take good care of yourself so I can feel at ease."

"Um!"

"There's no rush to go to work. If you don't feel well, you don't need to go tomorrow. I'll just let Tan Yan know."

"It's okay, my job is quite easy, I don't mind going to work, I don't want to skip work."

"Alright then, I'll be going now. If I'm free this afternoon, I'll transfer the money to you. Don't worry, I'll remember it."

"Brother, you must come to see me often."

"Yes, I will."

"My mom is waiting for me downstairs. I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

"Pop!"

Ding Yang went downstairs and got back into the driver's seat.

"You can't bear to part with it?"

"Mom, I'm a little reluctant to part with her."

"Son, Qinghe is a very clever girl; there's no such innocence in her eyes."

"I know. She's been in Guangdong for over two months now. At first, she knew nothing, and now her eyes have become cloudy. That's all normal. Everyone changes, including me."

"Mom, actually I regret it a little. I shouldn't have ruined her. If we hadn't slept together, it wouldn't be my problem. At most, she would be a distant relative. But now that things have come to this, I have to take some responsibility."

"It's perfectly normal for a woman to ask you for something after giving you her virginity."

"Son, it's okay to spend a little money, but don't let her morally blackmail you. Otherwise, she'll take advantage of you and you'll live a very tiring life."

"Mom, don't worry, I know."

"Your second grandmother is no pushover. Don't let things turn into chaos when you go back home."

"Mom, I'll handle it."

Ding Yang dialed Liu Cuicui's number.

"Hey, sis!"

"Ding Yang, have you returned to Shenzhen yet?"

"I'm back now. I just arrived in Shenzhen and dropped Qinghe off in Gangxia."

"oh!"

"Sis, where are you now?"

"I was out having fun, just got back from driving school, bought some things, and I'm getting ready to go to work tomorrow."

"Sis, you didn't go to Tangxia again, did you? Let me tell you, if you dare to go there again, I'll break your legs."

"Are you crazy? We broke up a long time ago. Why are you bringing up something I've completely forgotten about?"

"It's good that you've forgotten about it. Did you have the surgery?"

"Yes, I did it. I did it the day before yesterday."

"How is it?"

"It hurts a bit, and I'm afraid to even take a step when I walk. It's only getting a little better today."

"Would you like to come have a meal with me at Tan Yan's place?"

"No, I'm not going. Her house is too oppressive. I don't want to go."

"Sister, you should get some rest. I won't bother you anymore. Qinghe is waiting for you at home. Go home soon."

"Xiaoyang, you and Qinghe went back together, and you didn't get home until the next day. Did you two sleep together?"

"Didn't you teach me to not let it go? I'll listen to you."

"You little rascal, you're actually asleep?"

"Hehe, I'm not exactly a good person."

"Are you satisfied now? Did you win the lottery?"

"Sister, I'm satisfied, but also a little melancholy. How should I put it? I regretted it a bit afterwards."

"You brat, don't act innocent after getting such a good deal. A man might not meet someone like this in his entire life."

"Sis, from now on, when you're with Qinghe, keep an eye on her and take care of her. I won't treat you badly."

"You brat, don't you trust her at all? Are you afraid she'll cheat on you with someone else?"

"Sister, it's not that I'm worried, it's just that people's hearts are unpredictable. What if some guy goes after her? She knows about me and Tan Yan, so it's hard to guarantee she won't hold a grudge."

"Hmph, what a selfish bastard! You can live a life of debauchery, having women on both sides, but other people can't find someone else?"

"Sister, that's just how men are. If she's only with me, I'll pluck the stars from the sky for her. But if she finds another man, I'll feel disgusted if I ever speak to her again. I never share toothbrushes or women with anyone."

"Hmph, you're really selfish."

"Sis, let's talk about it when we meet later. I'm driving now, so I can't talk to you now. Just listen to me and keep an eye on her."

"Alright!"

"Oh, when are you going to buy me a car?"

"Sister, aren't you being a bit tacky? Can you stop talking about cars all the time? I'll buy you one as soon as you get your driver's license."

"Hehe, that's more like it."

After hanging up the phone,

"Xiaoyang, is that your aunt's daughter, Cuicui?"

"Yes!"

"You said she had surgery? What kind of surgery?"

Speechless!

"Mom, don't ask anymore."

"You brat, I'm your mother! Can't I even ask? If you tell me, do you think I'll spread it around?"

"She didn't go back for her grandmother's birthday; she went to have surgery—hymenoplasty."

"what……"

"Mom, Cui Cui works in Dongguan and has dated several boyfriends, but they were all scumbags. Now she's in Shenzhen and has found a new boyfriend. He's a college student from Yueyang, Hunan, and his parents are doctors. His family is well-off. She's afraid he'll look down on her, so she's getting this surgery."

"Isn't this a lie? It's just burying your head in the sand!"

"Mom, Cui Cui talked to me. At first, I thought the same as you, that it was a scam and that it was unnecessary in this day and age. But then I realized that what she said made a lot of sense, so I also support her in having the surgery."

"What do you mean?"
