Chapter 105

Shen Qingli still took the car with Cui Jingqing and his sister.

As soon as he got in the car, Cui Jingqing immediately asked, “Where is your friend?”

“They’ve left. After delivering their gifts, they said hello to me and left.” Shen Qingli explained. She was her legendary friend.

“It’s quite mysterious. Why did you hide it from your Zhou Yubai?” Cui Jingqing continued to ask.

She was really curious. Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai seemed to have such a good relationship, so why did Shen Qingli ask her brother for help but refused to tell Zhou Yubai?

“I don’t want Yu Bai to be under too much pressure.” Shen Qingli said after thinking for a while.

Sure enough, telling a lie requires a bunch of lies to cover it up.

“You’re right. Your friend is so powerful. If Zhou Yubai knew about this, he would definitely feel pressured.” Cui Jingqing felt that she had figured it out. She was once again certain that Shen Qingli must be madly in love with Zhou Yubai and always considered everything for him.

Shen Qingli: It’s not wrong to think so.

The two chatted quietly along the way.

It was already ten o’clock in the evening when the car returned to the courtyard.

Zhou Yubai had been waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw the car stop, he went over to greet it.

“Yu Bai, these were all done with the help of Brother Cui.” Shen Qingli said with a smile.

Cui Jingming: It’s okay, my nickname is good man.

The working masters helped move the things into the yard.

Zhou Yubai also came to help, and he realized the weight of the thing as soon as he started to pick it up.

There was quite a lot of noise coming from their place. Although they were far away from the village, Gu Qichuan was close by and he got up when he heard the noise.

“What is this for?”

“I asked Brother Cui to get some of the things you need. Brother Qichuan, get up and get to work.” Shen Qingli gave the order directly and unceremoniously.

“Okay.” Gu Qichuan responded, and he went straight to work with Zhou Yubai.

Cui Jingqing saw Gu Qichuan’s eyes light up, and she tightened her grip on Shen Qingli’s arm a little.

“What’s wrong, Qingqing? Wait a moment.” Shen Qingli asked Xiao Hei to go over there to look after Gou Wa and Niu Niu. She was afraid that someone might approach them without them noticing.

Xiao Hei wagged his tail and ran to Gu Qichuan’s yard in a few steps.

“Qingqing, what happened just now?” Shen Qingli looked at Cui Jingqing, but her expression could not be seen clearly in the dim night.

“It’s okay. Um, Gu Qichuan is your brother?” Cui Jingqing asked in a low voice.

“Well, brother from my mother’s family, what’s wrong?” Shen Qingli didn’t realize what Cui Jingqing meant.

Cui Jingqing’s face turned even redder.

After a long while, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, “Does he have a partner?”

Shen Qingli: ! !

“Are you attracted to my brother Qi Chuan?” Shen Qingli exclaimed softly.

Cui Jingqing quickly covered Shen Qingli’s mouth, “Speak softly.”

Shen Qingli was stunned for a while before she spoke. She knew that Gu Qichuan had not let go of the original owner, but the original owner could not come back.

If he’s willing to start a new relationship, that’s great too.

“Qingqing, Brother Qi Chuan doesn’t have a girlfriend, but he once loved a girl very much. I wonder if he has let it go.”

Shen Qingli thought for a moment and said.

Although she really hopes that Gu Qichuan will move on and she also recognizes Cui Jingqing’s character, but, Gu Qichuan loves someone so deeply, if he can’t let go, it’s better not to harm other girls.

Cui Jingqing pursed her lips. She thought that Gu Qichuan was such a good person. What kind of girl was he so fond of but… didn’t want to be with him?

It’s simply blind!

Cui Jingqing was angry at first, but then became full of fighting spirit. As long as he didn’t have a partner, then she would have a chance!

Always fight for yourself.

“Let me try!”

Shen Qingli nodded, “You need to ask Brother Qi Chuan what he means. Although I want you to be my sister-in-law, I want you to be happy even more.”

Cui Jingqing responded firmly, “I know!”

The two of them talked in whispers for a long time.

Soon everything was moved.

Cui Jingming asked everyone to leave. He promised to give everyone money, which he would give when he finished the work and returned. He didn’t want Shen Qingli to see it.

“Brother Cui, Qingqing, thank you for your hard work today. Wait until I finish cleaning up here and then you can come and have dinner.” Shen Qingli said with a smile.

“Okay, we will definitely be there.” Cui Jingming and his sister responded and drove away.

After they left, Gu Qichuan pointed at the pile of large wooden boxes and asked, “What are these for?”

“Radiators, cement putty and wall paint.” Shen Qingli said.

“Wall paint?”

“Yes, I asked Brother Cui to help me buy it. I plan to renovate the house, cement the walls and paint them in different colors.”

Shen Qingli opened a box of radiators, “This is for heating. I’ll put the heater in the kitchen. I’ve reserved a spot for it.”

“Just screw it on.” Shen Qingli pointed to the joint, “But this is also a physically demanding job. You two can do it tomorrow during the day.”

“Okay, I’ll come over tomorrow morning.” Gu Qichuan responded, “I’m going back to sleep, so don’t stay up too late. There’s nothing to do anyway, so you can take your time during the day.”

“Yeah, okay.” Shen Qingli responded.

Zhou Yubai waited for Xiao Hei to come back before closing the gate and holding Shen Qingli’s hand to take a bath and go to bed.

However, exercise before bed is still essential.

Because Shen Qingli went out without telling Zhou Yubai tonight, Zhou Yubai worked extra hard.

Shen Qingli: When a man is too smart, the pressure is quite great.

The night is dark.

The next morning, Shen Qingli overslept, and Zhou Yubai got up to make breakfast.

When Gou Wa and Niu Niu came over, Shen Qingli was still sleeping.

“Why hasn’t Mom gotten up yet? Is she sick?” Niu Niu asked Zhou Yubai in a low voice, worried.

“No, I’m just tired from work, so I want your mother to sleep more.” Zhou Yubai replied gently.

“Okay!” Niu Niu responded immediately, moving very carefully.

Gu Qichuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Yubai.

That means, it’s not you!

Zhou Yubai invited everyone to have breakfast. After breakfast, Gou Wa and Niu Niu took Xiao Hei to play at the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan dismantled the wooden boxes. They didn’t know how to distribute the radiators, so they just put them in a pile. They knew how to use cement, so they also found some sand.

After adding water and stirring evenly, the two began to grind the wall.

When Shen Qingli woke up, they had already finished two rooms.

Shen Qingli silently gave a thumbs up. As expected of a military background, these two brothers were really good at their work.

It will take a few days for the cement to dry. Although she chose the most environmentally friendly wall paints that have been tested in the end of the world, Shen Qingli still felt that the formaldehyde must be removed before living there.

Anyway, the weather is hot now, so it’s no problem for them to live in the bamboo shed.

Gou Wa Niu Niu will stay with Gu Qichuan for a while.

She was whirling around in circles among a pile of things, muttering to herself, and it was very endearing to watch.

“There’s rice in the Qingli pot, go and eat some first.” Zhou Yubai said.

“Okay!” Shen Qingli responded. She had slept for too long and was not hungry, so she ate two bites.

As soon as she returned to the front yard, Shen Qingli heard an old voice coming from outside the door.

“Qingli, grandma is here to see you.”

Shen Qingli frowned. She heard their discussion yesterday and naturally knew that this old lady was not a good person either, so she decided… to pretend that she didn’t hear it!
