Chapter 86 The Ugly Girl from the Countryside 8
Chapter 86 The Ugly Girl from the Countryside 8
When Qingyu arrived home, it was almost afternoon. The bumpy ride had left her feeling completely listless.
He would keep a stern face when he encountered people on the street, making everyone even more hesitant to approach him.
But everyone noticed at the same time that this ugly woman...
It seems a bit cleaner now? And not so annoying anymore.
Back home, there was a fresh, hot meal on the table. Qingyu sat down and started eating. Sun Ping'an was a good cook; the food was delicious and visually appealing, and he always controlled his portion sizes well.
Qingyu truly believed that such a talented person should be able to earn over ten thousand yuan a month as a male nanny in modern times.
After finishing her meal, Qingyu tapped the table and said softly, "Don't hide, come in, I have something to tell you."
His eyes glanced slightly toward the window.
A moment later, the tall man cautiously entered the room, "Qingyu."
Sun Ping'an stood awkwardly to the side, looking at Qingyu tenderly.
Qingyu didn't say much else and went straight to the point: "I know how to gather herbs. You can help me sell them, and I'll give you 10% as a delivery fee."
“No need for a delivery fee!” Sun Ping’an blurted out, as he was willing to do things for Qingyu.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and praised her, "Qingyu is really amazing, I don't even know how to gather herbs!"
Qingyu: "..." Is this person coaxing a child?
She sat up straight, a cryptic glint in her beautiful eyes, and a slight smile played on her lips. "Aren't you going to ask any more questions?"
Why didn't they gather herbs before, and why do they only do it now?
This was also Qingyu's test.
Sun Ping'an smiled nonchalantly, his eyes full of doting affection, "Whatever you do is right."
In his view, Qingyu was inherently beautiful, and the virtues she hid were all for her own protection.
Besides, even if Qingyu did bad things, he would still be happy to do so.
Upon hearing this, Qingyu took a few more glances at Sun Ping'an, a rare occurrence for her. This male supporting character... his attitude and manners were quite good.
Well, you can praise someone when you have nothing to do. After all, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.
After things were settled, Qingyu estimated that Liu Meifen would be bringing people to visit in a few days.
These are the busy farming seasons; we'll probably be able to rest in a couple of days.
Qingyu was feeling quite sore and achy today, so she gave up the idea of going up the mountain to collect herbs and decided to rest at home instead.
Unfortunately, some people wouldn't allow her to be lazy.
I had barely lain down in bed when I heard Chang Jiaojiao and Li Ziqi's voices coming from outside the door.
"Qingyu? Are you home? It's Jiaojiao~"
"Jiaojiao, let's put our things down and leave. You've come all this way, haven't you?"
Li Ziqi's complaints caught in her throat. The door was suddenly flung open, and she stared blankly into a pair of captivating and beautiful eyes—
His eyes, though filled with annoyance, were inexplicably captivating, irresistible, to the point that even Li Ziqi began to hallucinate…
It was as if a stunningly beautiful woman was standing in front of her!
"Qingyu, these are the pastries I bought. I was wrong to say that before, please don't be angry." Chang Jiaojiao's slightly ingratiating voice pulled Li Ziqi back to reality. The latter's expression changed unpredictably, and finally she remained silent.
My mind started to wander.
Qingyu looked at the pastries in front of her, her eyes shining slightly.
She had wanted to buy it today, but there was something else she wanted to buy, so she forgot about it.
I never expected something to be delivered to my door.
But it was a gift from the female lead...
Qingyu cleared her throat and blinked. "Are you sure it's for me?"
She didn't poison me, did she? Even if she did, it's alright, she knows medicine!
Before the other person could even speak, Qingyu immediately accepted the gift, nodding happily, "I'll take it!"
She smiled happily, and even though her skin was still dark, she exuded a unique radiance that made the hearts of the two people opposite her skip a beat.
Chang Jiaojiao wanted to say something more, but Qingyu was the type to take and leave without a care. She waved her hand impatiently, saying, "If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave. I need to rest."
In the past, Li Ziqi would have already cursed at this attitude, but now she and Chang Jiaojiao shared the same feeling: they really couldn't stay any longer, as it seemed they were disturbing Qingyu's rest.
In that moment of surprise, by the time I came to my senses, the door in front of me had already closed.
The two looked at each other, and for the first time, they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Chang Jiaojiao sighed, "Let's go back... Oh, right, you just said you wanted to go pick fruit over at West Mountain?"
Li Ziqi nodded, lowering her eyes to hide the malice in them, "It's just that it's getting late... If the fruit weren't so sweet, I wouldn't go."
When she was listening to the beginning, Chang Jiaojiao wanted to give up, but when she heard the end, she wanted to continue.
The fruit is sweet and delicious; not only can she eat it, but she can also give it to Qingyu!
Chang Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled, and she smiled as she took Li Ziqi's arm. "It's okay, let's go and come back quickly!"
Li Ziqi seemed reluctant to go, but Chang Jiaojiao eventually pulled her away.
Inside the door, Qingyu hadn't missed a thing, and she heard the conversation between the two clearly.
"Could Li Ziqi really be so kind?" Qingyu asked skeptically.
"There are people over there in the West Mountain." A male voice suddenly came from the window, and from Qingyu's angle, she could vaguely see Sun Ping'an's figure.
She yawned and casually asked, "Did you see it?"
Sun Ping'an hummed in agreement, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is she your friend? Are you going to save her?"
Qingyu shook her head vigorously. That's the female lead. Putting aside the fact that her halo would prevent her from being truly harmed, besides, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.
Qingyu wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ping'an visibly breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "That's good."
Qingyu found it strange. She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. After a while, she tilted her head and softly asked the question that had been on her mind, "You seem to really don't want to get close to that group of educated youth?"
Sun Ping'an remained silent, neither denying nor denying, which was tantamount to admitting it.
This piqued Qingyu's interest. She opened the plot information in the system and discovered that Sun Ping'an's mother was a city dweller who abandoned her father and left. His father died while hunting, leaving him alone.
No wonder Sun Ping'an didn't want to associate with the educated youth. These educated youth were also city people, and he probably had a bit of a resistance to them.
but……
In the original storyline, Sun Ping'an treated the female lead quite well!
Is it really the charm of the female lead's halo?
“Sent-down youth going to the countryside is just for experiencing life. No matter how good you are to them, they won’t remember you when they return to the city.” Sun Ping’an’s voice, tinged with sarcasm, came through the window, calm and casual.
Qingyu didn't answer. Her eyes darkened for a moment, and she closed them slightly. Then she heard Sun Ping'an continue, "That Li Ziqi has a vicious look in her eyes. She doesn't seem like a good person. Qingyu, tell me what you want to do, and I will do everything for you. Don't do it yourself."
In Sun Ping'an's heart, Qingyu should live a pure and innocent life. She is the bright moon, an incomparably holy and precious being, and should not be tainted by those conspiracies and schemes.
Everything was thanks to him; from the moment they met, he had already fallen head over heels for Qingyu.
The room fell silent. Sun Ping'an smiled slightly, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.
------------
Chang Jiaojiao went to Xishan with great joy, but when she arrived, Li Ziqi said that she had an upset stomach and went to relieve herself.
