~Between the Pages and the Coffee Pot: Translated Novels~

  Chapter 139: Support     Qin Yanci was equally disgusted. Thank goodness Old Qin chose Ying Sisi for him. If he had ended up with Li Yuwei, who had no shame or skin, he would have died of anger.   To distract himself, he said, “Wife, let's go for a walk around the streets here.”   “Okay.”   They walked along the street for a while.   As they were returning, Ying Sisi's sharp eyes spotted two white round beads, about the size of a bean, on the ground. She picked them up and put them in her palm. “What is this? It's oval-shaped.”   Qin Yanci examined them carefully. “It looks like a pearl bird's egg.”   “Pearl bird? Is there such a small bird?” Ying Sisi was amazed.   “Yes. Hummingbirds are even smaller.”   Ying Sisi said, “Can they hatch?”   “You can try? I raised one when I was studying. Pearl birds are very clingy. They will land on your shoulder, your hand, and play with you.” Qin Yanci rarely showed such a gentle expressi...

 Chapter 138: Relying on Each Other     The gloom in Ying Sisi's heart dissipated. “Yes! It's good that you're here. Otherwise, I'd still be bullied.” She hadn't thought about resisting before, but she was a stranger in a strange land. She had nowhere else to go.   It's different now.   She has money, and a stable home.   When something unfair happens, there's someone to help her fight back.   At noon.   Feng Shuangxi came to the door and shouted, “Yuwei, I asked Mom to make you some chicken soup.”   Li Yuwei was overjoyed. “Aunt is too polite.”   “You're her daughter-in-law. If she's not polite to you, who will she be polite to? How is your foot? It's all my fault. My hand hurts. I reacted slowly and couldn't grab you in time.” Feng Shuangxi said with heartache.   Li Yuwei said sweetly, “It's much better. I don't blame you.”   “I'll feed you the chicken soup.” Feng Shuangxi opened the lid of the box and used a spoon to sco...

  Chapter 137: Clingy     In the evening, Qin Yanci finished his classes.   Ying Sisi told him about Li Yuwei's injury and that she was going back to her parents' house to help.   Qin Yanci said directly, “That's like being a maid. You're not allowed to go!”   Ying Sisi bit her lip. “I already promised.”   “Are you stupid?”   Ying Sisi lowered her head.   Qin Yanci said, “My teacher gave me two days off before the competition. I'll accompany you tomorrow and the day after. Let's see how that family dares to boss my wife around.”   Ying Sisi looked up. “Don't you need to review before the competition?”   “A little relaxation is good for performance.”   Ying Sisi was happy. With him by her side, she felt very secure. “Okay.”   ……   The next day.   Ying Sisi and Qin Yanci went back to her parents' house together.   Song Hanmei had put a pile of clothes in the bathroom, preparing to make Sisi wash them. She s...

  Chapter 136: Familiar     As they walked home after visiting the ancient city, they passed by a cinema. They went inside and watched a movie.   When they came out of the cinema.   “Qin Yanci!” A clear voice came from behind.   Qin Yanci and Ying Sisi both turned their heads in the direction of the voice.   The person was wearing a black coat. He was around twenty years old, tall and handsome, with delicate features.   “Shen Zhengrong, hello. Long time no see.”   Shen Zhengrong said cordially, “Long time no see. Did you take a leave of absence and come back, or did you return to the city?”   “Returned to the city.” Qin Yanci couldn't wait to introduce Sisi. “This is my wife, her surname is Ying.”   Shen Zhengrong finally noticed Sisi. His gaze fell on her face. He was startled. She's so beautiful, and she looks familiar. “Sister-in-law, hello.”   Ying Sisi smiled brightly. She said generously, “Hello.”   Shen Zhengrong...

  Chapter 135: Disdain     Li Yuwei was envious. Why didn't my husband's family dress me up like this in my past life?   She forced a smile. “Sister, you're here. Your clothes look really good. Where did you buy them?”   Ying Sisi said, “My mother-in-law sent them.”   Mother Feng didn't believe it. She scoffed. “What mother-in-law has so much free money to send her daughter-in-law clothes? And they fit so well.”   Ying Sisi said, “My mother-in-law, of course. From your tone, you wouldn't send Yuwei clothes, would you? Oh, Yuwei, if you had listened to your dad's advice and picked a husband who was your equal, you would have everything. Why did you pick him? I really don't know what to do with you.”   She looked distressed.   Li Yuwei almost bit her tongue.   In front of everyone, she didn't give Feng Shuangxi any face at all. She also ridiculed his mother.   She's clearly trying to humiliate me!   She's so detestable! ...

  Chapter 134: Not a Small Temper     A mocking smile curled Ying Sisi's lips. Yes, they should have brought him back earlier.   Why didn't they? She had analyzed it.   It was probably because the slogans in the countryside were too loud in the past few years, and father Qin was in a position of leadership. He needed to set an example.   So he didn't bring him back.   Now that he's secure in his position, and Qin Yanci has been there for so long.   Even if he's brought back, no one would have anything to say.   Lu Yuechun glanced at Sisi and changed the subject with a few words. She underestimated Sisi before. “Mom, don't be too sad. Yanci has worked for ten years. That's good for his future work.”   Mother Qin nodded. “Okay. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early.”   Ying Sisi greeted them politely and turned to go to her room.   Lying in bed, she suddenly realized that Qin Yanci hadn't said where he was going for the compe...

  Chapter 37: A Question of Wanting or Not Wanting Why was Fu Jinting treating Kong Yiyue like this?   This question was too profound. Not only could Zhong Ziyang not figure it out, even Xiang Yi couldn't understand it.   Logically speaking, although the two had gone back and forth during high school, they and Fu Jinting had grown up together since they were young, and they could tell that Fu Jinting's heart wasn't as indifferent to Kong Yiyue as he appeared on the surface.   He was such a proud, aloof, and awkward person. It was fortunate that Kong Yiyue had a thick skin and was persistent, or else, if it were any other girl, it would have been very difficult to keep chasing him after constantly hitting a wall with him.   Zhong Ziyang wanted to say to Fu Jinting, "If you continue to treat Kong Yiyue like this, you'll be sad when she doesn't want you anymore!" Unfortunately, that was too outrageous. He couldn't figure out Fu Jinting's current thoug...
