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

Chapter 56: Effortless 1/2     “You're so beautiful, but why are you so mean-mouthed?”   Sisi was shocked.  Was he flirting with her?  “Be careful, or I'll tell Yuwei.”   “I'm afraid Yuwei won't believe you.” Feng Shuangxi said with a grin, “Sister, have you heard? An older sister is half belonging to her brother-in-law.”   Sisi felt insulted and ashamed.  “Shameless!”  She ran away.   Feng Shuangxi was even more excited.  He decided to go to her house tomorrow and catch her.   Song Hanmei kept an eye on the situation.  Although she didn't hear what Feng Shuangxi said, she saw his playful expression clearly. She decided to create more opportunities for them to meet.   Sisi handed the candy to Song Hanmei.   Song Hanmei said, “Sisi, let's go home?”   Sisi was surprised.  She was going back already?  Wasn't she trying to trap her? “Oh, okay.”   Song Hanmei said, “Be careful if that good-for-noth...

Chapter 55: A Trap       “I'm just a messenger.  Don't take your anger out on me!” Ying Sisi wouldn't put up with that.   Feng Shuangxi, who was in the room, said, “Yuwei, who is this girl?”   “She's the sister my dad brought home.  What? You like her?” Li Yuwei said unhappily.   Feng Shuangxi was secretly delighted.   Sister?   Isn't that my sister-in-law?   If a younger sister is close to her brother-in-law, then an older sister should be close to her brother-in-law, too.   What luck he had.   One beautiful girl after another was crowding around him.  He said out loud, “She's been covering her face with a scarf.  I don't know what she looks like.  How could I like her?”   “People say she's beautiful.”   “I think she's not half as beautiful as you.” Feng Shuangxi said this, but he secretly agreed with what others said about Sisi.   Such a beautiful girl, what man wouldn't like her? Unless he'...

  Chapter 05: A Girl's Aggressive Pursuit   Future sister-in-law?   Fu Qing Rui hastily tightened his grip on his phone, which was about to slip from his hand. He looked at Kong Yiyue with disdain, “I don't know if my brother has a girlfriend.”   Kong Yiyue's smile deepened, “Yeah, I'm not his girlfriend.”   Fu Qing Rui didn't believe her sudden change of heart. He sneered and said in a defiant tone, “There are countless people who want to be my sister-in-law. Who are you?”   “Well,” Kong Yiyue furrowed her brow slightly and thought for a moment.   Seeing that she was actually going to answer his question, Fu Qing Rui couldn't help but snort in his heart.   What's going on with that guy, Fu Jinting?   Just as he was thinking this, he saw Kong Yiyue raise her head and say with a radiant smile, “You mean, what number am I? I guess I'd be considered Fu Jinting's main wife.”   "..." Fu Qing Rui couldn't understand for a moment. What was a “...

Chapter 04: In 1977, Do Not Disturb   The girl soon walked over, placed the earthenware bowl filled with the strong scent of Chinese medicine on the table, and said softly, with her head down, "This is your medicine."   Chen Fan looked at her, then at the medicine, and he had a strange feeling of déjà vu, like "Da Lang, drink your medicine."   Seeing that Chen Fan didn't move, the girl explained softly, "This was prescribed for you by Doctor Zhang from the brigade. He said you have a cold in your body and must take medicine. You had a high fever last night, and you only got better after taking this medicine."   Chen Fan realized what she meant and responded, "Oh, thank you."   He picked up the bowl and took a sip. The temperature was just right. It was clearly cooled in the kitchen before being brought over. She was a thoughtful person.   He then closed his eyes and gulped it down in one go.   After he finished drinking, his facial expressi...

  Chapter 54: Enough to Make Her Laugh for Years     Ying Sisi replied slowly, “You tell me.”   “Accompany your dad and me to find Yuwei.”   “What role would I play?”  Sisi had a gut feeling that Song Hanmei was up to no good.   “Be a mediator.  You're about the same age as Yuwei.  She'll probably listen to you a little bit.  You won't still be holding a grudge at this point, will you?”  Song Hanmei's reasoning was airtight and also used reverse psychology.   Sisi had no way to refuse, so she just hummed.   But she was determined not to say anything.   Song Hanmei set off. The neighbors by the roadside had dispersed by now, but Li Yuwei's business had spread throughout the streets.   She would meet a random neighbor on the street, and the person would say, “Looking for Yuwei?  Is your Yuwei under a spell?”   “Oh, what a good girl.  Why did she have to fall for such a sleazy guy?  He brought tw...

 Chapter 53: Foreknowledge       Li Yuwei stood by her decision. “I believe you.”   Feng Shuangxi was touched. “Yuwei, you're so good.  You're completely different from those materialistic women.”   “Good your head!”  Li Junlu had tried being soft, but now he was going to be tough.  He swung his fist at Feng Shuangxi's face.   Feng Shuangxi wasn't prepared and took the punch squarely.  Blood flowed from his mouth, and he fell to the ground. “Ouch!”   Ahh!   Li Yuwei screamed in alarm and hurried to help him up. ”Feng Erge! Are you okay?”   Seeing their precious son getting beaten, Feng's parents grabbed Li Junlu and demanded an explanation.   Li Yuwei also blamed him for being too harsh.  “Dad, you're too much!”   Li Junlu finally lost his mind. “Get out! You're a bunch of trouble. Your sister is a lot more sensible.”   “We'll get out!  You'll regret this!”  Li Yuwei was confident that sh...

Chapter 04:  Laying Out the Long Line to Catch a Big Fish   Fu Jinting and Kong Yiyue ended up parting ways rather unhappily.   After he said, “Kong Yiyue, you're shameless!”,  seeing that she just smiled nonchalantly, Fu Jinting found himself inexplicably angry again.   Where did this anger come from?   After Fu Jinting turned and left gracefully, he found a good explanation for his own unusual behavior:  He had never met a girl as shameless as Kong Yiyue!   Kong Yiyue just smiled faintly, standing there and watching the handsome figure fade away.  The curve of her lips kept rising.   Well, it's a good thing you dislike me, isn't it?  The most worrying thing would be if you ignored me completely.   Kong Yiyue straightened her clothes, pulling the hem of her baggy school uniform down to try and cover her wet pants.   She silently rejoiced:  Fortunately, my pants are black, and luckily, this fall wasn't bad.   She...

Chapter 03: What You Eat, You Must Repay   "It's all the same."   Constable Zhu simply tossed the cigarette to him, lit it himself, took a drag, and said, "Two possibilities. First, he has no home to go back to, or doesn't want to go back. Second..."   He tapped his head, "...he might really have lost his mind, and can't remember certain things."   Captain Yang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Which possibility do you think is more likely?"   Constable Zhu shook his head, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."   After taking two more puffs of his cigarette, he whispered, "I suspect it's more likely that he has lost his memory. You said he was only wearing an undershirt in the winter, and he was in the water. Think about it, if you hadn't gone to fetch water, or if you had gone half an hour later, would he still be alive?"   Captain Yang shook his head without hesitation, "Not even half an...
