Three or Two Things about Rebirth

He Manshu once said that a girl’s maturity always comes at a great price, and every insight in life is gained at the cost of spiritual wounds.

Qiu Luming repeated this sentence to Qin Huifang, "Huifang, everyone will encounter setbacks. You have cried enough. Remember to stand up straight and face it bravely!"

Qin Huifang sobbed and nodded desperately in the towel.

There was a knock on the door, Qiu Luming went to open it, and Zheng Wei came in with two large bags of things, "I bought a few packs of instant noodles, as well as ham, tea eggs, and pickled mustard tubers."

"This is too much." Qiu Luming reached out to take it.

"It's too heavy." Zheng Wei avoided her and carried it to the kitchen himself, "I'll cook it."

There was no gas tank in the kitchen, only an induction cooker that Qiu Luming brought back from Beijing for an exam, and a stainless steel pot that was given as a gift.

Zheng Wei motioned Qiu Luming to go out, and he opened the package in the kitchen and began to study the instructions.

Qiu Luming returned to the bedroom to accompany Qin Huifang.

Qin Huifang seemed to regret having revealed her secret just now. She glanced at Qiu Luming uneasily, pouted her lips and whispered, "Don't laugh at me!"

"Why? You did such a stupid thing, why can't I laugh at you?" Qiu Luming said seriously, "You, a smart girl, your family is one of the best in Jiayang, and you are so pretty, but you foolishly had a relationship with someone who didn't love you! And you didn't know how to take measures after that! After you had a child, you didn't go to find her biological father, but instead found an irrelevant scapegoat to take the blame! You are so stupid, and I can't laugh at you!"

Qin Huifang lowered her head, "I also feel that I am extremely stupid. I have been worried for the past few years. Today, the truth has been revealed. On the one hand, I feel like the sky has fallen, but on the other hand, I feel like a stone has finally fallen to the ground. Luming, I know I was wrong, please stop scolding me."

"Qin Huifang, you need to be more sober. The parents of your three families are all well-known in Jiayang. We deal with each other all the time! The key is that you will affect your father's reputation!"

"That's what I'm afraid of!" Qin Huifang stomped her feet, lay down on the bed and started crying.

"There are too many people here today, and there are waiters at the door, so it's impossible to keep it secret. You have to be prepared. There will be a storm after this thunderbolt. What I say now may be the most polite of all the comments. In the future, you will have a harder time than when I was the 'jinx'."

She patted Qin Huifang on the back and said, "My small body cannot protect you from the wind and rain. I can only let you come to me to cry and make a fuss when you are soaked, and then take a hot bath and sleep peacefully. What you should do most now is to confess to your parents as soon as possible and ask them for help. They are your safe haven, and you should also give your father some buffer time."

Qin Huifang was deeply moved and hugged her gratefully, "I know you have always been doing this for my own good."

"Oh, you're welcome. Even though you're a little bit stupid, I'm your good friend after all!"

Qin Huifang's emotions were pulled back and forth by Qiu Luming. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and she was so angry that she hit her, "You are so annoying!"

The unique aroma of Master Kong's braised beef noodles came in through the crack in the door. Qiu Luming sniffed and Qin Huifang rubbed her stomach.

"It's time to eat!" Zheng Wei shouted in the kitchen.

"I heard it!" Qiu Luming opened the door and answered.

Qin Huifang whispered, "Think about Lao Zheng again. He has performed so well in recent years!"

"Hey, you still have the time to care about me!"

"I don't want to eat anymore!" Qin Huifang fell on the bed in anger.

"If you don't want to eat, then forget it. Zheng Wei and I will eat it!" Qiu Luming went to the kitchen.

Zheng Wei actually bought four new bowls, a new pair of chopsticks, and a bottle of detergent.

The dishes were washed clean and stacked next to the stove. The opened instant noodle bags and seasoning packets, ham casings and egg shells were thrown into a plastic bag on the side. The stove floor was also wiped clean.

"You're great! You cooked and cleaned up at the same time!" Qiu Luming praised.

Zheng Wei was very proud, "This is a piece of cake!"

Qiu Luming said loudly, "Oh, it smells so good, you cooked four packets! What should I do? Huifang said she doesn't want to eat it, so why don't you eat more!"

"No problem!" Zheng Wei understood and cooperated.

Since there was no dining table, Qiu Luming cleared the desk and then placed three bowls of noodles and a small bowl of pickled mustard on the desk.

She spread Qin Huifang's legs apart, sat on the edge of the bed, and pointed at a chair for Zheng Wei to sit on. "I only have one chair here, please sit here. We have to eat quickly. If Lao Ma comes and finds out that he spent so much money on dinner and we are still eating instant noodles, he will definitely cry!"

Zheng Wei sat down and started eating without saying anything. He picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and took a big mouthful. He sighed with satisfaction, "Ah! Who invented this instant noodles? It smells so damn good!"

Some people are just like that, everything tastes delicious. Qiu Luming was infected and also ate noodles with big mouthfuls, "Wow! The noodles you cooked are just right, and the sauce is so delicious!"

"Let me teach you. First, split the tea egg and soak the egg yolk in the soup. It will be more fragrant!"

"Okay, I'll try."

"Enough! Are you annoying?" Qin Huifang turned over and sat up angrily.

Qiu Luming turned around and smiled at her, pointing to another bowl, "Miss, eat quickly, don't eat lumps anymore!"

Qin Huifang continued to glare at her, "You only know how to eat, and you don't even bother to comfort me!"

"I'll wait until your parents have finished beating you, and then I'll definitely comfort you." Qiu Luming pushed the bowl towards her, "Eat!"

Qin Huifang rubbed her face and stamped her feet in annoyance, "Oh, how did it become like this!"

Zheng Wei swallowed his food and grumbled, "My dad said that nothing matters except life and death. You eat first, and it won't be too late to cry after you finish eating."

Qiu Luming nodded and gave Zheng Wei a thumbs up. She realized that she seemed to have not looked at Zheng Wei carefully in the past four or five years, so she stared at him seriously for five or six seconds until Zheng Wei's face turned red. Then she smiled and said to Qin Huifang, "Hey, you know what, he really does look a bit like Yang Kang!"

Qin Huifang burst out laughing, "Unlike Yang Kang, how can you write love letters to others!"

Zheng Wei didn't know what he was thinking about, and even his neck turned red.

Qin Huifang got up to wash her face. When she came back, Zheng Wei had already finished two bowls of noodles and was sitting on a chair watching Qiu Luming eat.

She squeezed next to Qiu Luming and said, "Damn it! I'm going all out!"

Qiu Luming immediately stopped chewing and looked at Qin Huifang in surprise, "You want to eat?"
