Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After sending He Yuanyuan off, Ji Qingyan returned to the room.

However, she was no longer as calm as before. The awkwardness in her heart had yet to subside.

Especially when Lin Yi kept staring at her, she felt even more uncomfortable.

“I’ll help you clean up the trash.”

With that, Ji Qingyan bent down and picked up the bloody gauze and medicine bottle on the ground. She then threw them into the trash can.

In order to ease the awkwardness and uneasiness in her heart, she dawdled for more than half an hour before she was done.

During this period of time, Lin Yi sat cross-legged with one hand supporting his chin as he watched Ji Qingyan work.

Ji Qingyan knew that Lin Yi was looking at her, but she could only pretend not to notice and work quietly.

However, there would eventually be a time when she finished her work. Lin Yi’s gaze made her even more nervous.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I just want to know if the two of you were really so bored that you came to my place?”

“It’s just that 1 had nothing to do during dinner, so I decided to come here for a walk.” Ji Qingyan raised her head and said in a dainty voice.

“You left in a hurry a few days after returning home. I was just afraid that you would be too tired.”

Lin Yi maintained his previous posture as he looked at Ji Qingyan, making the latter feel very uncomfortable.

“1 was. Why didn’t you say you wanted to come and take a look though?”

After hesitating for a long time, she said,

“I was so busy too. I couldn’t come even if 1 wanted to.”

“So He Yuanyuan resigned and came with you to see me?” “Huh? Yuanyuan resigned? Why didn’t 1 know about this?”

“She gave the resignation letter to Old Qi during the day. Old Qi only showed it to me before you came.”

Ji Qingyan was stunned, but she quickly understood what was going on.

Yuanyuan must have quit her job because of her.

At the end of the day, she was the cause of the problem.

“Then what?” She probed.

“I approved it. 1’11 get someone cheaper.”

“Why are you like this?”

“Don’t you know Yuanyuan’s personality? She just had nothing to do and was playing with you. Why are you taking it seriously?”

“Well, because she called me a scumbag in her resignation letter. Who did I offend? Why was she scolding me?”

“That’s what she always says about you.”

To hide her embarrassment, Ji Qingyan ran her fingers through her hair. “When we were having dinner just now, she told me about her career plan for next year. How could she really resign?”

“This is why 1 feel that the reason for the two of you coming here is not so simple.”

“Why can’t it be a simple reason?”

Ji Qingyan suddenly became aggresive to prove her honesty.

“If you continue like this, 1 won’t fuss about you anymore. Go and fend for yourself.”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’m overthinking it.” Lin Yi stretched. “Go wash up and go to bed.”

“Huh?”

Now that everything was out in the open, the ill-feeling in her heart disappeared.

She also wanted to get closer to Lin Yi.

However, the moment she entered the bathroom, she rushed out and said in a panic,

“I didn’t bring anything today!”

“It’s fine. The hotel has some stuff. We can just use that.”

Ji Qingyan thought that Lin Yi was talking about toiletries, but she did not expect him to look at the embarrassing things on the bedside table.

“Who said that?!” Ji Qingyan stomped her feet in anger. “I’m going out to buy some toiletries.”

“Do you think this is Zhonghai? It’s already so late at night. Make do with it for the night.”

Ji Qingyan pursed her lips. She knew that there was nothing she could do about it. There was no way she could apply her facial mask that day.

“But 1 didn’t even bring my pajamas.”

“We’re already an old couple. Why do you still care about wearing pajamas? Seriously.”

Ji Qingyan puffed up her cheeks and returned to the bathroom.

This would be another night of being taken advantage of, and she delivered herself right to Lin Yi’s door.

Twenty minutes later, Ji Qingyan finished washing up and entered Lin Yi’s bed in her underwear.

“Don’t be naughty. Go to sleep.”

“Isn’t every moment on a spring night worth a thousand gold ?”

“You’re already injured, so what’s the point of being worth so much money?” Ji Qingyan asked. “What if your wound opens up?”

It was said that absence made the heart grow fonder. Ji Qingyan also wanted to get closer to Lin Yi.

However, the current situation was indeed a little unique. They could not act rashly.

“Then go to sleep.”

Ji Qingyan leaned into Lin Yi’s embrace and whispered, “Mm…”

At the Starmoon Hotel in the Dongsan County.

Although it was also a hotel, there was quite a difference in scale compared to the hotel Lin Yi was staying in.

Even so, it was considered quite good in Dongsan County.

Room 307 on the third floor. There were a lot of side dishes on the table. There were also two boxes of beer on the ground and empty beer bottles on the table. “Brother Gao, are you sure you want to give them more money?”

Yu Mingming, who was blushing, asked drunkenly with a cigarette in his hand. “If we don’t raise the price, I’m afraid that if they really won’t sell it, our team’s performance will fall short of expectation,” Gao Dexi said.

“But if the price really increases, there won’t be much profit left for us.”

Food harvesters like them did not earn much at all, but their performance bonuses were not bad. The more food they collected every year, the higher their achievements.

Moreover, there was another rule. The price had to be cheap so that they could obtain a higher performance bonus.

If they raised the price now, even if they ended up collecting more food, the bonus would not be much.

“I know that,” said Gao Dexi.

“But I’ve already said it. It’s impossible to go back on my word.”

“But there’s another problem here,” Yu Mingming said.

“If we collect food according to the new price, we have to collect all the food in Dongsan County. Only then can we make a little profit. If we only collect a portion, we might even get our bonus cut.”

“That’s what I’m more concerned about.”

Gao Dexi played with his wine glass and said,

“We still have to think of a way to deal with this. Otherwise, there will definitely still be some greedy people waiting for that kid.”

“But he’s obviously lying. Grain hasn’t been that expensive in years.”

“That’s where we’re at a disadvantage,” Gao Dexi said.

“It’s true that he’s a swindler. After he swindles the grain away, we still won’t be able to get enough. This will also be disadvantageous for us.”

“F*ck! What a f*cking spoilsport!”

Yu Mingming scolded, “I thought I could buy all the grain at a low price, but I actually met someone who’s ruining my plans!”

“Calm down. This is not the worst-case scenario. I’ll think of something.”

“Brother Gao, do you think you can find someone from the county to speak up for us and stir up the market to trick them into selling food to us?”

“Yes?”

Gao Dexi was suspicious, as if he had thought of something.

“To be honest, our manager seems to actually know someone from Dongsan County. His name seems to be Zhou Feng. I heard that he has quite a bit of say. 1’11 contact the manager and ask about the situation..”
