HIS ONE SEE QING XIN - Chapter 40
“Dad, I’m home.” Yan Qing changed out of her canvas shoes.
“Yo, this is Qingqing, right?” A woman came out from the kitchen, wearing the apron that her mother used to wear, and was holding a spatula in her hand.
“Qingqing is back. Just in time, your Aunt Zhao is cooking something delicious.” Dad came out of the toilet with a kind smile, but normally he was not like this.
Yan Qing swept her eyes at the woman at the kitchen door, threw her bag on the living room sofa, sat down directly, and took out her phone to text back to Mo Fei and Shi Jie.
After replying to the text message, she felt quite reluctant to stay in this space, so she took the bag again and went into her bedroom, closed the door and locked it.
She vaguely guessed what was going on.
Sure enough, her father asked her to come out for dinner, and just as she settled down at the table, he said, “Qingqing, this is your Aunt Zhao, from now on she and we will be family.”
Yan Qing didn’t even look at her, took chopsticks and a bowl, served the rice, and ate by herself without waiting for them to move their chopsticks.
“You don’t mind. Kids don’t know what they’re doing.” Dad said to the woman.
Before, how come I had never seen dad so gentle to mom.
She kept her head down and ate in silence as if she was the only one at the table.
When she was almost finished, she asked her father, “Didn’t you say you had something to say to me?”
When Dad heard her suddenly speak, the chopsticks that he had just extended to pick up the food, he took them back again and looked at the woman: “Didn’t you just say that Auntie Zhao and us will be a family in the future?”
“What family?” Yan Qing put down her chopsticks, “Did you get a license?”
The woman patted her father’s hand, gesturing for her to come and say, “Not yet, we’re just waiting to talk to you before we get our license.”
“Oh, okay,” Yan Qing leaned back in her chair, the nails of her thumbs pinching each other, “but I have a condition.”
Dad also put down the dishes, stood up and looked squarely at, “You still talk about conditions you…” The woman stopped the rest of the conversation.
The woman said, “Qingqing, you say, what condition.”
“This summer I want to enroll in street dance classes and combat private coaching.” Yan Qing looked at the two of them.
The two of them exhaled a breath, so this was it, it scared them.
Dad: “Where to enroll ah? The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Also, where do you live? I was able to live in school when I was in junior high, but now that I’ve graduated…”
The father still wanted to read, Yan Qing interrupted him: “The dance studio is still KING, private combat instructor can be found again, accommodation, you give me two months rent, I rent my own house to live.”
“How can this be? You’re a girl, only a senior, renting a room by yourself is too unsafe.”
“Just say yes or no?” Yan Qing clasped her hands and looked straight at her father.
“I don’t agree.” Dad stood up again in exasperation, moved the stool out of the way, and was about to leave, but Yan Qing said, “Then I’ll find mom.”
“You’re really hard-wired, aren’t you? Are you looking for a fight?” Dad raised his hand, his gaze fierce.
“Eh, eh, old Yan, why are you so aggressive? Since Qingqing has mentioned it, she must have her own arrangements, ask her what she plans to do first,” the woman pulled dad back to the chair, “Come on, listen to Qingqing, Qingqing, your father is also worried about you living alone outside, you tell auntie, what is your plan, okay? ”
Yan Qing did not expect that woman to help herself, nor did she expect her to be as gentle as her mother.
“I found a good house, a classmate’s house, the price to give me a preferential price, they also live nearby, and I lived there for three years in junior high school, very familiar, in addition, safety issues can also be assured, I learn combat is not used to perform.” Yan Qing stood up and walked towards her bedroom, “Think about it, call me when you’re ready.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
After talking to her, Yan’s father also put his mind at ease. Children nowadays are different, not to mention his daughter is even more different, so he let go: “Qingqing ah, can I come in?”
“Yes.” The door was not unlocked, so Dad twisted it open and went in, then closed it again.
“Daddy will give you 10,000 yuan first, you can use it first, and then tell Daddy if it’s not enough.” Dad handed her a bank card.
“Uh, okay.” Yan Qing put the card in her backpack.
Dad saw that she was packing her suitcase, “So when are you going?”
“Tomorrow morning.” She loaded some necessities into her suitcase.
“Okay, then I’ll take you to the station tomorrow.” Dad said and went out.
Yan Qing stopped packing and looked up at her dad’s back as he went out. She sometimes wondered: does dad still love himself quite a bit, just that he loves in a different way.
