"Why do you have to wait for me? You don't have to wait anymore. You cook and eat, and I can just go down and buy something to eat from the roadside," I replied to Qin Ling.
"We're family, of course we should eat together. Besides, the food on the street is dirty, so try to eat out less often in the future." Qin Ling said as she put some food into my bowl.
I don't know why, but the way she calls us "family" always sounds so awkward to me.
"Are you free today?" Qin Ling then asked me.
"I'm fine," I replied to Qin Ling while drinking my porridge.
"Then come with me to the building materials market, let's buy a new toilet," Qin Ling asked for my opinion.
"Okay." I nodded.
"Hehe." Qin Ling seemed very happy when she heard that I had agreed, and she put some more food into my bowl.
After the holiday started, I didn't really have anything to do, but I wasn't interested in going to the building materials market either. I wanted to find an opportunity for Qin Ling to call Qin Qin as soon as possible and invite her to come over. So I wanted to create as many opportunities as possible to be with Qin Ling.
Qin Ling was clearly not a big spender. After she went out, she didn't hail a taxi, but instead took me to the bus stop to look at the bus stop sign. Because of this, I felt a bit more favorably toward her. I just hoped that she wasn't with my damn father for money, because if she was, I would look down on her.
"There's only one bus route to the building materials market," Qin Ling told me after studying the bus stop sign.
"They're here..." Qin Ling said, pulling my arm as she led me toward the car.
"So many people." I looked at the bus and really didn't understand. It was already 10 o'clock, not even rush hour, why were so many people crammed onto the bus every day...?
"Let's wait for the next trip, there's no rush anyway," Qin Ling comforted me.
"Hmm." I nodded. Although I knew my dad had a lot of money now, he didn't give me much living expenses, and I hadn't developed a habit of spending money recklessly.
We waited for another bus, but it was still packed with people. Qin Ling looked at me helplessly. I frowned and said, "Let's not wait anymore, let's go up."
Qin Ling smiled and followed me as we squeezed into the bus.
After I went up, I used my height and size to squeeze out a spot in the crowd, and then let Qin Ling stand in the empty space I had made in front of her. Qin Ling looked at me happily, probably thinking that I was taking good care of her.
Because I had taken up a large space out of thin air, everyone around me glared at me angrily. But I ignored their anger, relying on my size. However, the bus was really crowded. At the next stop, no one got off, and people kept getting on, so the space I had squeezed out was constantly being squeezed out...
Finally, I was completely pressed onto Qin Ling's back by the crowded passengers.
"Damn! Why are there so many people?" I muttered to myself. Actually, I wanted to explain to Qin Ling that I didn't mean to put my weight on her back; it was just something I had no choice but to do.
And right now I'm just really annoyed by all these people jostling around in the car, and I don't have any other thoughts in my mind, which is why I'm so eager to confess my feelings.
"Yes." Qin Ling turned her head back and smiled at me. Just then, the car swayed again. I was looking down, while she was looking up. Before I knew it, my mouth touched her nose. I quickly looked up, and Qin Ling also quickly turned her head back.
Thank goodness, it was only his mouth that hit her nose, not her mouth, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing...
But this collision made my heart pound wildly, and all sorts of random thoughts that weren't there before started popping into my head again...
The area I originally circled with my arms was to protect her, but now, because it's been so compressed, it feels more like I'm hugging her, something I was completely unaware of before.
I instinctively wanted to pull my hand back, but I felt that the action was a bit too obvious, a bit... like I was trying to hide something... Moreover... I think I don't really want to pull my arm back anymore.
When I suddenly realized that I was completely embracing Qin Ling, my body trembled involuntarily. An indescribable feeling washed over me, giving me an urge to hold her even tighter.
Along with this impulse came some involuntary bodily reactions...
We're so close right now, she must be able to feel it... It's so embarrassing...
It was a very sinful thought... I immediately forced myself to stop thinking about those things.
However, that dream I had this morning suddenly popped into my head, causing my plans to backfire once again... Some things are completely out of my control now...
Oh no, I can feel it now, and Qin Ling in front of me will definitely feel it too...
Help!
I looked around desperately, trying to find something to distract myself, but it was all in vain…
Fortunately, Qin Ling didn't turn around again, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed that I would have banged my head against a wall.
My embarrassment finally ended when we arrived at another stop. Many people got off at this stop, and the carriage became much more spacious. I quickly moved aside from Qin Ling and stood next to her.
"We're almost there," Qin Ling smiled at me, as if nothing had happened.
"Really?" I smiled to cover my embarrassment. I seemed to have been trying to appear serious and proper in front of Qin Ling, but I felt that everything I had done from last night until now was more like a complete blunder...
God knows what Qin Ling thinks of me... Never mind, it's pointless to think about it. As long as my heart remains pure, after all, I didn't do these things on purpose. It's just that I couldn't stop them when they happened.
I did try my best to stop it... that's the most important thing.
Okay, let's face it all honestly and stop overthinking.
This building materials and decoration market is really big. Qin Ling was quite patient, asking about prices at each store, comparing performance, and even negotiating with them. But after negotiating until she couldn't bargain any further, she didn't buy anything and dragged me to the next store.
"Which toilet do you think is the best?" Qin Ling asked for my opinion.
"They're all good, as long as you buy one that won't collapse the moment you sit on it," I teased Qin Ling.
"Hehe, anyway, with you as my family doctor, next time I get hurt, you can just treat my wound, right?" Qin Ling laughed.
"No problem, happy to help." I smiled too, and after laughing, we both blushed a little. I couldn't help but think of the dream I had that morning again...
If given that opportunity again, what would happen if I reached out to the wrong place, just like in my dream?
Just thinking about it makes my heart race... Oh dear, I can't take it anymore, my body is reacting too. I'm only wearing a pair of pants, so walking is a bit inconvenient...
"Let me sit down." I hurried to a bench under the shade of a tree in the decoration market. Sitting down made me feel much safer, mainly because I wanted to hide the changes in my body. It would be so embarrassing if I accidentally revealed my secret…
"Are you tired?" Qin Ling followed and sat down on the lounge chair. It seemed she hadn't noticed the changes in my body or my inner secret. I let out a long sigh and tried to think about other things to avoid this embarrassing situation from happening again, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to walk.
Qin Ling happened to be sitting very close to me, and she kept talking to me. As I listened to her talk, my eyes involuntarily wandered up and down her body. It was summer... and she wasn't wearing much. My attempt to distract myself by sitting down didn't work at all; instead, I felt my attention become even more focused.
The situation is really not good...
I had to bend over to avoid making my reaction too obvious and letting Qin Ling see it. Oh my god... In the middle of summer, wearing so little clothing, what's with all the excitement, little brother? How am I supposed to walk around in public like this?
"What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?" Qin Ling clearly noticed that something was off with me.
"No, nothing." I smiled awkwardly at Qin Ling, then turned my body slightly to the side. Seriously, Qin Ling, why are you looking me up and down like that? Can't you look somewhere else? I'm begging you…
"I called Mr. Chen this morning," Qin Ling suddenly changed the subject.
"Hmm." Hearing her mention my father, my previous excitement about her body finally shifted.
"He said... if toilets break so easily, then just buy an old-fashioned squat toilet, it will never break down."
"Damn it! I knew he'd say that!" I couldn't help but get angry.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Ling asked, puzzled by my sudden anger.
"He just can't bear to spend money!" I was furious. According to some of my classmates, those large billboards on both sides of the street cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan each, but he only gave me so little living expenses...
Based on the situation at home and what Qin Ling just said, I'm increasingly realizing that he's incredibly stingy... It's unbelievable!
"It's still the same to use. Actually, I'm not used to those seated ones. They're also troublesome to clean," Qin Ling comforted me.
However, I felt that since she brought this up with me, she was somewhat unhappy, because the toilets she took me to see were all from good brands and were very expensive, but she only looked at them and never made up her mind to buy them.
"Don't you have enough money to buy a toilet? I do have some money." As I said this, I took out my wallet.
"No need, no need!" Qin Ling hurriedly reached out to stop me: "I have money."
"well..."
I sighed, feeling quite frustrated. It really doesn't feel good to not earn money and have your finances controlled by others...
