Chapter 147: Feeling
Ying Sisi looked at Qin Yanci. Seeing that he wasn't stopping her, she said, “It's a small county called Yunhe near Southern Province. It's a small county. If I tell you, you won't know it anyway.”
Shen Zhengrong's expression changed. “That's a coincidence. My uncle went to Yunhe 20 years ago. He came back and told his family that he had found a girl he wanted to marry. He suffered a brain injury during his last mission. He couldn't remember her name or where she lived. All he knew was that he wanted to wait for her. He would go back there every year to look for her. He didn't have a specific address and couldn't remember her face, so he never found her.”
Ying Sisi said, “I can't help your uncle find her.”
Shen Zhengrong said, “I meant, you might be my uncle's daughter.”
Ying Sisi said seriously, “Don't be ridiculous. I have my own parents.”
Shen Zhengrong chuckled. He paused for a moment and said, “Would it be convenient to know your parents' names? What village do they live in? I'll tell my uncle. Maybe he'll remember something.”
Ying Sisi was a little angry. She endured it for Qin Yanci's sake. It wasn't a secret anyway. It would make him even more curious if she hid it. She just told him directly. “My mom's name is Ying Shuyan. My dad's name is Li Junlu. The village is called…” she was a little embarrassed. “It's called Black Wind Ridge.”
Shen Zhengrong burst out laughing. “Why is your village called that? It sounds like a bandit lair.”
Ying Sisi looked down.
Grandma Hua said that it was actually a bandit lair in the old days.
Every household in the village had hunting rifles.
Then it was liberated.
The guns were confiscated, but the name remained.
Qin Yanci's face darkened. He said coldly, “What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at my wife coming from a bandit lair?”
“I didn't mean it that way. I was just mentioning it. You know me. I always respect people. Sister-in-law, don't mind him. The name is very powerful.” Shen Zhengrong tried to ease the awkwardness by changing the subject. “You're reviewing for college. Have you found a teacher? Do you need me to recommend one?”
Qin Yanci's expression softened. “No need. How is university life?”
“It's great. The only downside is that you're not allowed to date while you're studying. Fortunately, you're married. Otherwise, you would have to be thirty years old before you could find a wife after you graduate.”
Qin Yanci didn't say anything.
They chatted for a long time.
As dusk approached, Shen Zhengrong invited Qin Yanci to a restaurant.
It was the Su Mansion Restaurant.
Ying Sisi was worried the whole time that Old Zhao would suddenly appear. She ate the whole meal with a nervous heart.
The current Qin Yanci had never met Old Zhao. He thought Sisi was uncomfortable and that was why she didn't have much of an appetite. After they parted ways with Shen Zhengrong, he asked with concern, “Sisi, why didn't you eat much just now? Didn't the food suit your taste?”
“I ate too much at noon.”
Qin Yanci smiled. “Who told you to drink so much soup?”
Ying Sisi snorted. “I didn't know that you really weren't going to drink it.”
When they got home, it was completely dark.
Ying Sisi was about to wash up when she realized that she had not boiled water. She called out, “A-Ci, there's not much water in the thermos. Let's wash together.”
Qin Yanci was sitting in the living room. He heard her talking from a distance. The sound was buzzing in his ears.
Wash together?
No, no, no.
He can't resist.
Ying Sisi shouted again, “A-Ci, come on! Why are you so slow these days?” She couldn't help but express her feelings.
Not long after that.
Qin Yanci appeared in the doorway. It was not what he had expected.
She was wearing a light green nightgown that made her look as delicate as a green bud on a spring branch.
She was sitting on a low stool, soaking her feet. Her skin was really white, and her toes were pink and plump. You just wanted to pinch them.
