Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

After realizing that she was most likely not worthy of Sha Zhu, Qin Jingru became extremely flustered.

Her purpose this time was very clear, she came here to get Sha Zhu.

Moreover, she had been working so hard these past few days. If she got nothing in the end, wouldn't that be a huge loss? !

When she thought about Sha Zhu's improved status and the more money he earned, while she didn't have a stable job and came from the countryside, she knew that even if she was beautiful, Sha Zhu might not look down on her.

She is very realistic when it comes to finding a partner, so other people must be the same.

Throughout the whole day, Qin Jingru was absent-minded in everything she did.

I would go to the entrance of the alley several times to see if Sha Zhu had returned.

Now she just wanted to tell Sha Zhu her feelings. No matter what, she wanted to make Sha Zhu understand her determination to marry no one else but him!

Qin Jingru waited until evening, but Sha Zhu still didn't come back. She sat in front of the window, staring at Sha Zhu's house outside the window.

"Jingru, it's no use for you to just keep going like this.

It's already so late, and Shazhu hasn't come back yet. He might not come back until tomorrow, so why don't you just go to sleep first."

Qin Huairu opened his eyes in a daze, and seeing Qin Jingru still sitting there, he quickly tried to persuade her.

"Got it, sister, you go to sleep, I'm not sleepy yet."

Qin Jingru yawned loudly as she spoke.

Seeing Qin Jingru's persistence, Qin Huairu closed his eyes again.

She still has a lot of work to do tomorrow and can't stay up late with Qin Jingru.

The sky gradually brightened. Qin Jingru had been up all night, but still hadn't seen Sha Zhu. Finally, she couldn't help herself and fell into a deep sleep. Before going to sleep, she reminded Qin Huairu:

"Sister, please help me keep an eye on Brother Shazhu. If he comes back, remember to wake me up."

"Got it, go to sleep."

Qin Huairu glanced at Qin Jingru, who had dark circles under her eyes, and said helplessly.

At the same time, he became more determined to bring Qin Jingru and Sha Zhu together.

Another day passed, Qin Jingru woke up, looked at the darkening sky outside, and immediately shouted in panic:

"Sister, what time is it now?"

Could it be that she slept all day and missed Shazhu's return? !

"It's about four or five o'clock."

Knowing what Qin Jingru wanted to ask, Qin Huairu continued:

"Shazhu never came back."

"what?

Not back yet? "

Qin Jingru cried out in surprise, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. She had been gone for so long, could something have happened? !

"No, I'm going to ask Ye Fei and the others."

As he said that, he hurried out of the door. When he looked up, he saw snowflakes falling. He became even more anxious. He trotted to the backyard and went straight to Ye Fei's house:

"Yushui, Ye Fei, is Brother Shazhu back?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of worry.

He Yushui and Ye Fei were feeding each other grapes when they saw Qin Jingru push the door open. They both froze. He Yushui immediately got off Ye Fei's legs and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Ye Fei frowned, his voice somewhat unhappy:

"You should knock on the door before entering someone else's house. Don't you know this little rule?"

"I'm sorry, I, I'm just a little worried about Brother Shazhu, he hasn't come back since yesterday..."

Frightened by Ye Fei's eyes, Qin Jingru immediately lowered her head, clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands, and tried to defend herself.

"He's out busy."

Ye Fei still had a bad face towards Qin Jingru. It would be strange if he was in a good mood since she had disturbed the little interest between him and He Yushui!

"When will Brother Shazhu be able to come back?

I am very worried about him, in case something happens to him outside..."

Qin Jingru said this with great sincerity. When she raised her head, the deep worry in her eyes was obvious.

"He's a grown man, what is there for him to worry about?!"

Ye Fei was not moved at all. He knew what Qin Jingru was thinking:

"Besides, who are you and why are you worried about him?!"

"I......"

Qin Jingru was speechless when asked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Ye Fei, let me tell you, it's worthy of being a state banquet, the scene is so grand..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, his voice suddenly stopped.

Seeing Qin Jingru here, Sha Zhu was a little confused.

"Brother Shazhu, you are finally back."

Seeing Sha Zhu looking at her, Qin Jingru immediately said with concern:

"You don't know, I haven't seen you these past two days, and I've been worried about you, afraid that something might have happened to you..."

"Why are you worried about me?!"

Sha Zhu said it subconsciously. It seems that he and Qin Jingru are not that familiar with each other? !

"I, I'm just worried about you."

Qin Jingru was choked by Sha Zhu's question and didn't know what to say.

A trace of annoyance arose in my heart. I didn't know whether this idiot Zhu really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand.

She had already made it so obvious, yet she still said so.

If she wasn't so thick-skinned, she would have been scared away long ago.

"We're not that familiar with each other, why are you worried about me?!"

Sha Zhu wondered if there was something wrong with Qin Jingru. After all, the two of them had never spoken more than ten sentences.

"I......"

Qin Jingru glanced at Ye Fei and the other person beside her, and the impulse and courage she had just come over suddenly disappeared.

For a moment, the words hidden in my heart could not be spoken.

Qin Jingru stamped her feet lightly, feeling somewhat helpless:

"Brother Shazhu, I have always been attracted to you..."

"stop!"

Seeing that Qin Jingru was about to say the same thing again, Sha Zhu interrupted her and said mercilessly:

"Qin Jingru, I told you very clearly last time, it's impossible between us!!!"

"Why?!"

Qin Jingru couldn't believe it. She felt that since she had performed so well this time, Sha Zhu would definitely have a good impression of her.

"Is it because of my age?"

"Age is one thing, but more importantly, I won't marry a girl from the countryside."

Sha Zhu made his attitude clear. He thought he had made it clear enough before.

Who would have thought that Qin Jingru would have such thoughts.

In his eyes, Qin Jingru was just a little child, the kind he wasn't attracted to at all.

"I didn't expect you to have such an idea. I thought so highly of you!!!"

Qin Jingru only heard the second half of Sha Zhu's words. She said something angrily and then ran away.

This is the second time. In the countryside, people who like her line up behind her, but in the city, other people don’t say anything, but this idiot who is so much older than her is also very picky. It’s really too much!!!

"What's wrong?

Failed again?"

Seeing Qin Jingru coming back with red eyes, Qin Huairu immediately asked with concern.

"Sister, you must help me..."
