No matter what, as long as she herself could accept it, Li Mingwei hadn't really slept well these past few days because of her business, and since she and her husband had already discussed it, she also felt a little more at ease. She yawned and lay down on the bed.
Yun Sister went up and leaned against her. Seeing this, Wang Chunhua also squeezed over. The three crowded onto one bed, both tired and relaxed.
Wang Chunhua turned her head and looked into Yun Sister's little red eyes, clicking her tongue twice, "Look at your little eyes, red as a rabbit's."
"Is that so?" Yun Sister reflexively rubbed her eyes. Without a mirror, she couldn't see what she looked like.
Li Mingwei grabbed her hand, "Don't rub them, the more you rub the redder they'll get. Close your eyes and rest for a bit."
Yun Sister nodded. She didn't want Qing Yang to see her like this either, so she took a pillow, turned over, and lay down, intending to rest for a while.
Wang Chunhua looked at her for a while, then suddenly leaned in close to Li Mingwei's ear and said slowly, "Who knows why she's so obsessed with that cripple next door who loves drinking too much. In our town, Qing, when he gets drunk, beats his wife. His wife couldn't stand it either, so she ran away. Now no one is willing to marry him anymore, just an old bachelor."
"He's never hit me," Yun Sister opened her eyes, turned over to face Wang Chunhua, and spoke up for Qing Yang, "Even when he was drunk, he never hit me."
Wang Chunhua saw that she hadn't moved at all earlier, thinking she had fallen asleep. Now she was caught talking badly about her husband, she could only laugh awkwardly, "Not bad, not bad. It seems he still cares about you in his heart."
"I'm not trying to say that. I just feel he's been getting better and better."
From the initial avoidance to now finally being able to take a step outside, Yun Sister saw hope in him. No matter how he used to be, as long as he kept moving forward, she was willing to be with him.
Li Mingwei nodded, "As long as you're happy."
Yun Sister reached out and tickled her. Li Mingwei dodged, "What are you doing? Isn't what I said right?"
"You're right, but your tone isn't!"
Yun Sister pounced on her and they quickly tangled together. Li Mingwei was pinned under her, trembling as she reached out her little hand, "Sister, save me!"
Wang Chunhua looked at Li Mingwei, who, although pinned below, could still tickle Yun Sister until she laughed and cried. She didn't feel like she needed saving. She reached into her bag, groping around for some sunflower seeds, but there were none. She could only resignedly watch the show.
Li Mingwei whimpered, "What sin did I commit to deserve this? I traveled so far to come help you, busy front and back taking care of things for you, and now I haven't even found time to go see Liu Yizhu even once. And you treat me like this!"
"Ungrateful!"
Hearing her complaints, Yun Sister immediately let her go and got up, glancing out the window to check the time, "Do you want to go now? I'm fine now."
Li Mingwei peered through the curtain Yun Sister had lifted up and saw how dark it was outside, "It's so late, what's there to do now? Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Liu Yizhu must have gotten off class a while ago and was probably eating dinner in the dorms and reading now. If she went early tomorrow morning, she could even have a meal with him.
Anyway, they weren't in a hurry to go back right now. Even if Qing Yang went back tomorrow and was able to make arrangements, it would be at least the day after tomorrow before he came to pick her up. If the arrangements didn't work out, or if they had to look for a house, it would probably be even longer. They couldn't just abandon Yun Sister here alone.
Gurgle~
Wang Chunhua's stomach rumbled very timely, and Li Mingwei and Yun Sister looked at her simultaneously.
"Shall we go eat?" Seeing Wang Chunhua nod, Li Mingwei looked again at Yun Sister, "Should we call your husband to come along?"
Yun Sister nodded and walked out the door. Wang Chunhua hurriedly climbed off the bed to stop her, anxiously saying, "Is there anything I should be careful of when talking later? Anything about his leg I shouldn't bring up? I'm worried my mouth will accidentally offend him."
Everyone was still feeling a little unhappy right now, and this was the first time the two of them were meeting. Wang Chunhua really didn't want to say the wrong thing and make everyone feel worse.
Yun Sister reassured her, "It'll be fine. He's very easy to talk to, just ask Li Mingwei if you don't believe me."
Li Mingwei choked a little, her face showing an awkward smile, "Yup, yup, he's pretty good."
Wang Chunhua didn't detect anything off and took her words at face value, the corners of her mouth turning up in a smile, "Then that's good, that's good. I haven't met your husband yet. Would be bad, bad, to offend him right off the bat."
As she spoke, she was even starting to look forward to it, "What does your husband look like? Is he good looking?"
"I think he's quite handsome," a touch of shyness appeared on Yun Sister's face.
On the trip to marry him, she had wondered what he would look like—big face, egg head, fat pig—she had imagined the worst possibilities, so she was even a little pleasantly surprised when the veil was lifted at the wedding and Qing Yang's delicate features appeared before her eyes.
It's said that love makes even an ugly woman beautiful, seeing her shy little expression, Wang Chunhua didn't want to take her word for it. She turned and blinked at Li Mingwei, "Is that so?"
Li Mingwei thought for a moment and gave an objective evaluation, "He's pretty decent, very fair-skinned."
Not normal fair, but a sickly white, giving a somewhat weak impression from afar, though his temperament and looks were vastly different.
If both girls said he was decent, then naturally he must be decent. Wang Chunhua looked at Yun Sister knowingly, "So you were captivated by his good looks, that's why you're so devoted, huh?"
Yun Sister turned away, somewhat uncomfortable. It was true she had endured his temper at first because of his face. But later, after more time together, it wasn't only because of that anymore.
Her face flushed red and she looked unhappily at the grinning Li Mingwei, "And what about you? You didn't fall for looks either!"
Li Mingwei shook her head again and again, "Nope, actually that wasn't it at all, though there was a tiny bit."
"Then what? That he's well-educated and has prospects?"
"No no no, neither of those."
Seeing her profound and unfathomable manner, Wang Chunhua and Yun Sister's interest was piqued. They didn't hurry off to eat and instead came up on either side of her, hooking her arms, "Then what was it?"
"Tell us, tell us."
Wang Chunhua pinched her, "You used to always say you didn't like him. I don't even know when you changed. Come clean!"
Li Mingwei was swayed left and right by them. Helpless, she nodded, "I'll tell, I'll tell."
She smirked, "Will you believe me if I say I like that he's silly?"
The two immediately let go of her hands and tutted. They'd have to see a ghost before believing that.
