DLSRWAR Chapter 46 Since when did a phone appear?
Yang Guirong argued persuasively, “Taking someone else’s stuff when they are family, can it really be considered theft?”
Qin Yumian replied coldly, “Taking someone else’s property without their consent is theft, and that’s how the law defined it.”
Although Yang Guirong had not received much education, ordinary people feared breaking the law, so she couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious upon hearing Qin Yumian’s words.
The middle-aged woman, as if her strength was spent, looked guilty, “What law? How would An’er, a child, understand these things?”
Qin Yumian suddenly walked up to the middle-aged woman, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear, “If you bully Xue Qingxing again, your son won’t have an easy time.”
Upon hearing Qin Yumian’s warning, Yang Guirong’s eyes widened, her anger flared, and she opened her mouth to curse, but when Qin Yumian raised the broom, she immediately fell silent.
Qin Yumian handed the broom back to Yang Guirong, “The broom is for sweeping the floor, not for hitting people, understand?”
Yang Guirong was the type to bully those who were weaker and fear those who were stronger. After being intimidated by Qin Yumian, even though she was furious inside, she didn’t dare to show it.
She could only nod sullenly, “Understood.”
With a vicious glare at Xue Qingxing, Yang Guirong turned around and left, her anger suppressed.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the idle onlookers also dispersed.
Xue Qingxing hadn’t expected the matter to resolve so easily. Usually, when Yang Guirong sought trouble with him, it wouldn’t end without him being beaten a few times.
But today, not only was he not beaten, Yang Guirong was driven away.
Qin Yumian turned around and unexpectedly met the boy’s unusually bright eyes.
She thought for a moment about rubbing his curly hair, but just as her hand started to lift, a handsome face suddenly flashed in her mind.
She paused and then put her hand back down.
Qin Yumian asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Xue Qingxing’s face turned a little red as he said softly, “You’re amazing.”
To him, Yang Guirong seemed like a terrifying monster. He was too young to resist, and his father didn’t like him much, making life at the Xue family increasingly difficult.
Thus, Xue Qingxing most disliked going home.
Does that count as amazing?
Qin Yumian shook her head helplessly, thought for a few seconds, and said, “Xue Qingxing, do you want to learn how to fight?”
Xue Qingxing was taken aback, “Fight?”
Qin Yumian said seriously, “Only by making yourself strong can you avoid being bullied.”
That was what her grandfather had told her.
It was also why her grandfather taught her martial arts.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qingxing blinked, looking thoughtful.
After a moment, he nodded vigorously, his curly hair bouncing along, “I want to! I want to learn how to fight with you.”
With his movement, the tuft of hair on his head also swayed.
Qin Yumian smiled, “Then come to my place downstairs at seven every morning.”
Xue Qingxing obediently replied, “Okay.”
Qin Yumian still needed to go home to make dinner, so she didn’t say much more and parted ways with Xue Qingxing.
On the way home, she also stopped by Little Zhang’s car wash shop to call Qin Xian to go back together.
The teenage boy, wearing an oil-stained repair suit, had his slightly long bangs tied up with a small rubber band. His forehead was covered in fine sweat, and his face had some black engine oil smudges, but it didn’t affect his handsome looks at all.
Seeing Qin Yumian, the boy wiped his face with his sleeve and walked over, saying, “Why are you here?”
Qin Yumian glanced into the car wash shop, “Are you off work?”
Qin Xian replied, “Still half an hour left.”
“Mm.” Qin Yumian didn’t leave but stood by the door, waiting for the boy to finish work.
The employees at the car wash were all relatively young, with only the auto mechanic being a bit older.
When a pretty young girl came to pick up Qin Xian, a boy with several strands of his hair dyed yellow grinned and put his arm around Qin Xian’s shoulder, “Qin Xian, is that girl outside your girlfriend?”
Since no one came in for a car wash at the moment, everyone was finding their own tasks to do. Hearing this, Qin Xian replied, “No, she’s my big sister.”
“Biological big sister?”
Qin Xian gave the boy with yellow hair a sidelong glance, “Otherwise?”
The boy with yellow hair seemed a bit surprised, “Your family’s looks are really high, aren’t they?”
Since Qin Xian started working part-time at their car wash, business had been better than before.
The main reason was that Qin Xian was handsome and worked carefully.
Who wouldn’t enjoy seeing a handsome guy while getting their car washed?
The boy with yellow hair looked at the delicately featured young girl outside and winked, “Qin Xian, do you think I could be your big sister’s boyfriend?”
Qin Xian shook off the boy’s arm from his shoulder, speaking coldly, “No.”
“Why? Do you think Brother Liu isn’t good enough for your big sister?”
Qin Xian, sitting on the ground with tools, fiddling with car parts, said in a flat tone, “Yes, not good enough.”
The boy with yellow hair: “…”
He snorted. Just from the fact that Qin Xian had to do a part-time job during summer vacation, it was clear that the Qin family’s financial situation wasn’t great.
Qin Xian’s sister was decent-looking, but compared to family background, she might not even be better off than he was.
The boy with yellow hair decided not to make things awkward and went back to his own tasks.
Half an hour later, it was time for Qin Xian to finish work.
He first went to the break room to change back into his own clothes and cleaned the oil off his face, but his bangs, tied with a small rubber band, remained as they were.
While waiting for Qin Xian, Qin Yumian also bought some fresh meat.
When Qin Xian came out of the car wash, he took the plastic bag that Qin Yumian was carrying.
The siblings walked together towards Xinghua Street.
Qin Xian asked, “Did Brother Han stick to you today?”
Qin Yumian replied, “He went back to the capital.”
Qin Xian kicked a pebble on the ground and said, “Brother Han is a good guy, but sometimes he’s a bit strange.”
Qin Yumian glanced at him, “Strange how?”
“When we first met, he acted like he knew you, and later, he got so familiar that he didn’t treat himself as an outsider.”
Qin Xian was pointing out what Qin Yumian had found puzzling. She was certain she had never met the young man before, so his attitude toward her was indeed intriguing.
When they got home, Grandpa Qin was back, sitting on the sofa watching the news.
Qin Yumian went to prepare dinner, while Qin Xian went to take a shower.
Each family member was engaged in their own activities, and the warm yellow light filled the home with ordinary warmth.
At ten o’clock at night, just as Qin Yumian was getting ready for bed, a ringtone suddenly came from her backpack.
Qin Yumian: “??”
She opened her backpack in confusion and found a phone glowing in the book compartment.
Qin Yumian was bewildered. In her backpack, since when did a phone appear?
And why did the phone look a bit familiar?
The phone screen showed an incoming call with the label: DH.
After hesitating for a few seconds, as the ringtone was about to end, Qin Yumian answered the call, “Hello?”
…
Author’s Note: Today is still New Year’s!
Mianmian: I forgot to wish everyone a happy New Year last night. Happy New Year!
Big Orange: Happy New Year! This year will also be a year of loving my wife!
