Chapter 10 Returning Home

“Go back to your hometown of Anlin tomorrow.”

Just as Shen Shitong was rambling on, trying to squeeze some money out of Yu Ziqing, Yu Ziqing suddenly spoke.

“No way! We’re brothers, even if you’re afraid I’ll rob you of your money and kill you, you don’t need to kick me out!” Shen Shitong immediately objected.

“Although I went a bit too far this time, I can’t guarantee they’ll back down. What if they cause you trouble again? Since you’re unemployed right now, you should go home and lay low for a while,” Yu Ziqing said.

Shen Shitong shuddered, but still stubbornly said, “Isn’t there you still?”

“I’m not your 24/7 bodyguard,” Yu Ziqing said.

Shen Shitong fell silent. He knew Yu Ziqing meant well. But having grown accustomed to the bright lights of Hangzhou, the thought of suddenly returning to the small town of Anlin and having to listen to his parents’ nagging all day was indeed painful.

“You’re just going home to avoid things for a while. I promise you’ll be back soon,” Yu Ziqing said seriously upon seeing this.

“You said it yourself, so I’ll listen to you. But you can’t expect me to go home penniless, can you?” Shen Shitong’s eyes turned green as he spoke.

Looking at Shen Shitong’s shameless appearance, Yu Ziqing could only sigh inwardly at his poor choice of friends, and said irritably, “Giving you a thousand yuan should be enough for you to spend at home for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Shitong put his fat hand on Yu Ziqing’s shoulder and chuckled, “Brother Yu, that’s not fair of you. You made at least three thousand yuan in cash, and those gold necklaces and bracelets are conservatively estimated to be at least forty or fifty thousand yuan. And you’re just giving your good brother a thousand yuan?”

Looking at Shen Shitong’s shameless behavior, Yu Ziqing sighed again about his poor choice of friends. He grabbed a handful of red and green banknotes from his pocket and angrily stuffed them into Shen Shitong’s hand, saying, “Here’s at least two thousand. Remember that, kid. You owe me another two thousand yuan.”

Shen Shitong then put away the large wad of banknotes with satisfaction, smiled sheepishly, and said, “I will definitely pay you back double when I open a hotel and make a fortune.”

Although Shen Shitong studied chemistry in university, his ambition was to open a hotel that would become famous throughout Hangzhou. Because the hotel offered beautiful women and delicious food, both of which were his greatest loves.

However, this ambition is too far-fetched and grand, and it remains a pipe dream to this day.

Yu Ziqing curled his lip in disdain and said, “I don’t need it. I’ll be satisfied as long as you can return my principal.”

Hearing Yu Ziqing say this, Shen Shitong protested indignantly that Yu Ziqing had slandered his great ambitions, but Yu Ziqing ignored him and said to himself, “I will get off at Datang New Village later. You can take a taxi and find a hotel to stay in yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Shitong immediately stopped protesting and reached out his fat hand to cover Yu Ziqing’s forehead.

“What are you doing?” Yu Ziqing slapped Shen Shitong’s pig-like hand away.

“Check if you have a fever. Why would you stay in a hotel when you’re perfectly fine? I’d rather save that money to pick up girls,” Shen Shitong said.

“You little rascal, you’ve really forgotten the pain once the wound has healed,” Yu Ziqing scolded with exasperation, then continued, “I’ve already rented out the house.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Shitong immediately perked up, his eyes shining as he asked, “It’s not a woman, is it?”

Yu Ziqing nodded helplessly.

“Damn it! I never knew you, who always seemed so polite and respectable, were such a hypocrite, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’ve only been gone for less than a day, and you’ve already brought a woman to my door!” Shen Shitong said, giving the middle finger with utter contempt.

“They insisted on sharing the apartment with me,” Yu Ziqing explained.

“We’re brothers for life, why are you explaining this to me? So what if you’ve been looking for someone? Being lustful is a man’s nature, it’s not something shameful,” Shen Shitong said, patting Yu Ziqing on the shoulder.

“It was really because they insisted on sharing the apartment with me,” Yu Ziqing continued to defend his innocence.

Shen Shitong was unhappy and said, “Ziqing, that’s not fair of you. Why are you hiding things from me?”

Yu Ziqing was speechless, realizing that he was in a situation where he couldn’t clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Seeing that Yu Ziqing was speechless, Shen Shitong assumed that he was feeling guilty, so he brought his fat face close to him and asked with a lewd grin, “Isn’t she pretty?”

Yu Ziqing’s mind flashed back to Qian Mengqi’s youthful and handsome face; there was no denying that the woman was indeed quite beautiful.

“It’s alright, but…”

“What are you doing?” Shen Shitong asked immediately before Yu Ziqing could finish speaking.

“Nurse.”

“Holy crap, a beautiful nurse! Brother Yu, Brother Ziqing, my admiration for you is as boundless as the Yangtze River. I don’t want the two thousand yuan, just teach me how to find a beautiful nurse to share an apartment with in a single day!”

“roll!”

They arrived at Datang New Village, but Yu Ziqing still couldn’t get rid of the fat man.

He walked home with a helpless expression, thinking about how he had just touched that woman’s breasts and who knew what earth-shattering things would happen when he got home.

Shen Shitong, with a lewd grin, swayed his fat buttocks and followed Yu Ziqing, babbling incoherently.

Filled with anger, Qian Mengqi tidied up the room, then took a shower. With the fresh scent of her bath, she sat in the small living room/dining room watching the Korean drama “Full House,” wearing a blue t-shirt and white hot pants.

She loves this Korean drama the most and often dreams of one day becoming the female protagonist in it.

But today she seemed a little distracted, her big eyes glancing at the door every now and then, and each time she looked, she gritted her teeth.

To scout out the enemy’s situation, Yu Ziqing quickly climbed to the seventh floor, leaving the panting fat man far behind.

Hearing the door open, Qian Mengqi jumped up, grabbed an ashtray, and stood menacingly at the door.

The door had barely opened a crack when Yu Ziqing felt a murderous aura mixed with an alluring fragrance waft towards him.

Then he saw two long, beautiful legs gleaming with a healthy and alluring skin tone under the light. Looking up along those long, beautiful legs, Yu Ziqing saw that the youthful and handsome face was now filled with murderous intent.

“You finally decided to come back!” Qian Mengqi asked condescendingly, toying with the ashtray in her hand.

Yu Ziqing could fight and kill those thugs with murderous intent, but when facing Qian Mengqi, all he could do was smile bitterly. It wasn’t because she was beautiful; Yu Ziqing had seen women even more beautiful than Qian Mengqi before. It was because he had touched her breasts.

This matter can be either a big or small issue, but it’s clearly developing in a larger direction now.

“Something urgent did happen just now, it was definitely not intentional,” Yu Ziqing said sincerely.

“It wasn’t intentional, but if it was intentional…” Qian Mengqi stopped halfway through her sentence, a blush flashing across her murderous face.

Yes, it wasn’t intentional, but they already touched her breasts. If it were intentional, they would have stripped naked and gone to bed with her.

Obviously, as a normal man, Yu Ziqing also considered this possibility, so his gaze unconsciously fell on Qian Mengqi’s long and slender legs.

In a battle between two armies, the key is to strike with overwhelming momentum. Qian Mengqi’s face flushed red, and her momentum dissipated. In addition, Yu Ziqing’s gaze seemed to be casually lingering on her beautiful legs, and she felt a strange sensation inexplicably. It was as if Yu Ziqing’s gaze was particularly sharp and piercing, able to see through her legs to her more private parts, which made her momentum dissipate even more.

“Now, what do you think we should do about this?” Qian Mengqi asked, though she no longer had the murderous aura she had just displayed.
