Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Unfortunately, the light was backlit and the water was sparkling, so I couldn't see their faces clearly.

Although he could hear their laughter, Qiu Luming felt upset and turned his head away.

"You also need a good father!" Qin Huifang was still speaking, "I'm screwed when it comes to being a spoiled child. Even I feel disgusted when I act like a spoiled child. I can't compare to my eldest sister-in-law in terms of being a father. My eldest brother's father-in-law is a tall and strong man, a Mongolian, and is on the same level as my father, but when they stand together, it's screwed! My father's image and demeanor are immediately outshined by others! Moreover, I heard that he is going to be promoted..."

Qin Huifang's topic kept revolving around her sister-in-law, and finally she changed the subject, "My sister-in-law introduced me to a girl from her family."

"Ah? You haven't graduated yet? You agree?"

"The other party's conditions are quite good. My parents said we can date each other first. They will let me go there to work after I graduate from high school and then get married in a few years."

Qiu Luming and Han Meifen looked at each other. She didn't believe that Qin Huifang really let go of Xu Zhenhua so quickly.

"I didn't agree, nor did I say anything final. ...Just wait and see!"

After she said that, she suddenly dived into the water, and it took her twenty seconds to surface. Han Meifen was so scared that she swam over to save her. When she got there, she saw Qin Huifang suddenly surfaced and spit out a water arrow. She then swam silently back to Qiu Luming.

Qin Huifang laughed, "What's the big deal? It's just finding a partner, not dying!"

After saying this, she put her hands together, threw herself into the water again, separated the water with her hands, kicked her feet, and swam far away. ——Qin Huifang only knew how to doggy paddle and backstroke.

Qiu Luming felt that she probably couldn't hold back her tears and wanted to go somewhere far away to cry.

"Isn't it a bit early?" She muttered hesitantly, and suddenly remembered that she and Qin Huifang were the same age. She felt a little guilty. She was already moved, so how could it be early or late?

Han Meifen said, "Not too early. My mom always says that if you act too late, the good guys will be snatched away by others."

"No one else can take away the person who truly belongs to you." Qiu Luming didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he spoke very toughly.

"Yes! You are right." Han Meifen did not insist on her own opinion and agreed with a smile.

Suddenly, a girl playing water fight whispered, "Hey, is that little girl over there Qiu Jiashu's sister?"

"Oh, it's true!" This was the slightly surprised voice of the female police officer in the command room.

"Call her over to play water fight with us. Maybe we can attract Qiu Jiashu to come over, too. Hehehe."

"Go to hell!" The female police officer in the command room threw a handful of water at her companion, and the two of them started a fight.

Qiu Luming finally saw Xie Zhi clearly. He was holding a girl's swimming ring. He leaned over and said something to her. His words were drowned out by the laughter of several other girls, so she didn't hear anything. But the girl heard it clearly. She smiled and punched Xie Zhi on the chest in an angry manner.

The fist hit the wet muscle, making a loud "pop" sound, which made Qiu Luming subconsciously take a step back.

——Hasn’t he just been transferred to a new job for half a year? It’s been less than a month since he started working, how come he’s already in a relationship so quickly?

"Luming, what's wrong with you?" Han Meifen swam to her side from behind and asked.

"No." Qiu Luming threw herself into the water, letting her tears flow into the river. She actually wanted to hug Han Meifen and say to her: Your mother is right, it's too late, the good boy will really be snatched away by someone else first.

***

There was smoke coming out of a few places on the shore, and the smell of burnt meat drifted over. Han Meifen sniffed and said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's go ashore and eat something."

Before she knew it, she had been swimming for over an hour. Her fingers were sore from the blisters and she realized she was running out of energy. Her right leg was even cramping slightly. "Where's Huifang?" She looked around for her.

"She seemed to have come ashore over there." Han Meifen pointed to the beach.

"Silly girl! You didn't even say hello!" Qiu Luming swam towards the shore angrily. Passing by the people who had just had a water fight, she couldn't help but stop and complained in her heart, men and women work together and nothing is tiring. They can just have a water fight and spend more than half an hour here!

She seemed to casually say to the female police officer in the command room, "Hey, aren't you the sister who gave me the ice cream? Have you seen Qin Huifang?"

A group of people looked at her, including Xie Zhi.

Qiu Luming thought he could take the initiative to say hello, but he didn't.

The female police officer greeted her enthusiastically, but she was not familiar with Qin Huifang and said she did not notice her.

At this time, a muffled voice said, "Twenty minutes ago, Lao Qin came ashore!"

Zheng Wei's voice! Qiu Luming looked closely and saw that it was indeed the big guy, but he seemed a little angry.

"Oh, I see." Without saying anything more, Qiu Luming went ashore with Han Meifen and found the place where the three of them had piled their things, but there was no sign of Qin Huifang, and her bath towel and shoes were also gone.

Han Meifen guessed, "She must have gone to have dinner with her father. Wait for me, I'll go get something to eat from my father." After saying that, she quickly wiped her hair, tied it into a ponytail again, put on a half-wet bath towel, and went to the red parasol.

Qiu Luming wiped the water off her body and applied jasmine-scented lotion on it. Her shoulders were sunburned and a little painful, and the tip of her nose felt hot to the touch. She took out a mirror and saw that her nose bridge and forehead were red, making her look like a clown. Thinking that Xie Zhi had seen her like this, she felt annoyed.

Slowly drying my hair.

Han Meifen came back, carrying a bag of food in one hand and a bunch of sizzling lamb skewers in the other. "Eat quickly, eat quickly, it's freshly grilled. I specially asked them to sprinkle more cumin on it."

Qiu Luming took the skewers and her stomach started to growl as if she saw the skewers. She immediately bit a piece of meat and pulled it off. The fat flowed down the corners of her mouth. She hummed and hurriedly pressed it with a handkerchief. When she looked up, she saw a black mark on the corner of Han Meifen's mouth left by the skewer. They both pointed at each other and laughed.

There were two bottles of beer in the food bag. The two of them struggled to open the bottle caps with disposable chopsticks, and imitated the others, clinking the bottles together. The beer was not very cold, but a little bitter and smelly. The two of them drank half a bottle reluctantly and then stuck the bottles on the beach and stopped drinking.

Only then did Han Meifen say, "By the way, Qin Huifang is not at the Red Parasol."

"Have you asked her father?"

"No. I don't dare talk to her father..."

Qiu Luming immediately put on a sun hat, sandals, and a dried bath towel. He asked around and finally someone said they saw a little girl in a blue swimsuit heading towards the port pier.

Qiu Luming stomped his feet and went to the dock.

Han Meifen pulled her hand and said, "Luming, can she go over there? It's all concrete over there, it's too hot to be burned, and it's not suitable for swimming. Let's go look for her in the hall, maybe she's there singing!"

Qiu Luming was also willing to believe that Qin Huifang went to sing, and the two of them walked quickly towards the port hall.

There were indeed people singing inside, but unfortunately, there was no trace of Qin Huifang among the group of people singing.

Qiu Luming stopped a young man and asked him if he had seen a girl in a blue swimsuit and a ponytail. The young man said, "Oh, you mean Director Qin's daughter? She just sang a few songs and then went out over there."

He was pointing in the direction of the port terminal.
