I would rather betray the gods

"Did you two brothers build your house together?"

When Yuzi first came to Qingjiao's house, she saw that the house had the same layout as Qinghe's house and asked a question.

"Yes, it's the house my dad built for my brother and me when he was young. Otherwise, it would be useless like me. Humph, I can't even build a thatched hut."

The green pepper in the inner room gave a self-deprecating reply, accompanied by the creaking sound of the wardrobe opening and closing.

Sometimes, the condition of a family can be revealed by the newness or oldness of the furnishings inside the house. Yuzu did not respond.

A short while later, Green Pepper, now dressed in clean clothes, came out of the inner room, waving her car keys and saying, "Hurry up, or we'll miss my daughter's school bus."

As expected, clothes make the man. Although the clothes he changed into weren't designer brands, his demeanor instantly improved several levels, making him look like a handsome young boss. In the end, it all comes down to his solid foundation.

Yuzu quickly looked him up and down, her mind filled with nothing but "Holy crap."

Not only that, when Green Pepper, who usually wears plain clothes, drove a white sedan out of the garage, Yuzu was completely stunned.

Based on his understanding of Planet Doraemon, Green Pepper's car would be considered above average in this world...

While driving, Qingjiao would glance at her watch from time to time, and the complex and ever-changing road conditions were like a pressure tank, constantly pouring anxiety into her mind.

Yuzu, in the passenger seat, clearly felt the accelerator's aggressive acceleration. For safety's sake, she deliberately tried to distract him, asking, "Is your car quite new? Did you buy it this year?"

"Sigh! It's been almost three years already, and there are still about ten installments of car loan left to pay, but we'll get through this soon."

Green Pepper looked bitter; clearly, this expense was a huge burden for him.

"Really? The car looks so new!"

Yuzu stared incredulously at the car's interior; the plastic film on the sun visor hadn't even been removed yet.

"The green book is in the locker. See for yourself if you don't believe me."

Green Pepper was very reserved and didn't show any pride in maintaining the car so well.

Upon hearing this, Yuzu couldn't help but pull out his notebook to check, even though he knew in his heart that the date Green Pepper mentioned couldn't be fake.

He opened the green book and confirmed the purchase date. However, the name in the owner's name column was not Qingjiao but a woman's name. Youzi immediately thought of his ex-wife and glanced at Qingjiao sideways.

"That's right, the car was purchased under my ex-wife's name."

Unexpectedly, the green pepper's profile seemed to have an invisible pair of eyes, clearly "seeing" the subtle changes in the pomelo's expression.

Okay, I didn't mean to mention it~

Yuzu's heart tightened...

"What? Your brother got divorced?"

In a small private room of the teahouse, Yuebai looked at Qinghe in surprise.

She didn't attend Qinghe's first meal that day, and neither Youzi nor Lao Xu mentioned it to her.

"Keeping your voice down isn't anything to be proud of."

Qinghe covered her eyes with one hand while turning her head to look at the door, afraid that the door was not closed properly and that people outside would hear.

"Then Miss Yu..."

Yuebai then looked at Yu Qiuyue, the beautiful woman who had been invited and was observing the green peppers from afar in the vast crowd.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand why Yu Qiuyue kept appearing in this small county town.

"That's right. After Qingjiao got divorced, we met in the horse training live stream. We shared the same values ​​and the same misfortunes, which made us fall in love."

Yu Qiuyue speaks frankly.

Her expression was gentle, but her eyes shone with a bright light, giving her an inexplicable air of aloofness.

Then she said something that shocked everyone, including Qingjiao's brother Qinghe: "We've known each other for over two years, but we've never met."

What a bizarre love story! Both parties have feelings for each other, yet they only care about one person.

The crowd looked at each other, and finally their gazes fell upon her, for she held the answer.

"He's good in every way, except he's concerned about his image. He doesn't want me to know that he's in dire straits and can't provide me with a stable life, so he doesn't dare to take things any further with me."

In fact, we can work together to make a living, but all I'm waiting for is his promise—to be with me forever.

Yu Qiuyue's tone was gentle yet firm, especially the last sentence, "Together until the end of time," which was powerful and resounding.

One doesn't want the other person to know their current situation, keeping their love deeply hidden in their heart.

The other pretends not to know the other person's situation and doesn't care about material things, but requires the other person to have a firm and persistent heart.

Everyone realized that the two had liked each other for a long time, but were stuck because of the less-than-ideal situation of the green pepper.

In fact, as long as Qingjiao puts aside his concerns and boldly pursues Yu Qiuyue, she will not refuse. What Yu Qiuyue values ​​is Qingjiao's character, Qingjiao as a person.

"I've told you about our relationship. Please don't interfere behind my back. I'd rather keep waiting than wait for him to show any sincerity."

Just as everyone was sighing and lamenting, Yu Qiuyue reiterated her firm stance...

A car registration certificate completely unveiled a painful chapter in Qingjiao's life.

Green Pepper told Yuzu that after the divorce, he felt like he had lost a wing, unable to fly out of the abyss or see the light beyond the cliff; his world felt like it had fallen into eternal night.

Fortunately, he still has children. Children are like stars in the sky, allowing him to feel the light even in the darkest world.

His failed marriage caused his luck to plummet, turning him from a stable small business owner into a wage earner.

Sometimes he thinks that he might work until he has no strength left for the rest of his life. After all, it is almost absurd to think that he can turn his life around by working. With the constant disasters and the soaring prices, it would be good enough if he didn't go hungry!

When he said all this, Green Pepper's expression was 'casual,' and Yuzu looked at his profile, speechless.

Because he understands that when an adult falls into a dark abyss, it's not as simple as a child crying once and then it's over. Instead, that person needs to take one step at a time and endure until another dawn. Only those who have experienced it can understand the bitterness involved.

"What are you staring at? Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Suddenly, a green pepper snapped at a pomelo.

"kindness?"

Yuzu was so engrossed in thought that she didn't hear anything until she was startled awake by the snapping of her fingers, which made her wonder.

"I told you I need to borrow some money to pick up my daughter later, and I'll pay you back when I get my salary."

As he spoke, Green Pepper turned his face slightly toward the car window, intentionally preventing Yuzu from seeing his facial expression.

Yuzu has always been a generous person, and besides, this isn't his home planet. No matter how much money he saves, he won't need it in the future. He immediately took out his wallet and put all the cash in the car, saying, "Take it, I'm not in a hurry."

Clearly, the amount of money far exceeded Green Pepper's expectations. Green Pepper glanced at it sideways, then widened his eyes to look at Pomelo.

"Looking at cars, looking at cars."

Yuzu felt insecure when the steering wheel wasn't in his hands, but at this moment, he was more concerned about not wanting to owe anyone any favors.

He helps those he truly respects.

As for how he obtains recognition, he has his own standards.

Green Pepper didn't stand on ceremony; she smiled knowingly and focused on driving, just as he suggested.

For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke. Perhaps they had reached some kind of spiritual resonance, so the atmosphere was not awkward, just like the light music playing on the radio, which was relaxed and natural.

*Sizzle!*

Suddenly, a sharp screech of brakes shattered this balance.

What's wrong?

Yuzu gripped the car window handle tightly, staring intently out the window. She saw a luxury car forcibly turn from the auxiliary road into the main road they were traveling on. If Qingjiao hadn't reacted quickly, they would have crashed into it.

It's one thing for a luxury car to disregard traffic rules, but the owner even rolled down the window and glared at them, his arrogant expression seeming to say, "You dare to drive so fast when you see me turning? You're asking for trouble!"

I'll trick you!

Without the slightest hesitation, Green Pepper left a message and rushed out.
