Chapter 204: Chapter 204: What Do You Want

The place inside is quite spacious, about ten square meters, enough for her to set up three stoves and a large chopping board.

The family happens to have exactly three stoves, and the cooking range has also been brought over. Of course, with Jian Zhiqing as free labor, all the heavy and rough tasks were his. It was only today that Qin Xiangnuan realized the physical strength differences between men and women. She thought her own strength was considerable, after all, in her past life, she did all the heavy and coarse work in the Wang Family, and Wang Dali was like a pampered young lady, clueless even about farming. But Jian Zhiqing was different; he had reshaped her understanding of men.

This was not her fault since, in her previous life, the man she had most contact with was Wang Dali, and in this life, it was her elder brother. Of course, her brother was just a young man who had only just come of age and was still a green youth who knew nothing. He was strong and diligent, very much like Jian Zhi, which is why she always liked men who were willing to endure hardship and diligent, all the while not being overly talkative.

One grows tired of hearing a man’s sweet nothings.

And there’s that saying, the absolute truth.

Better to believe that a sow can climb a tree than a man’s promises.

She knew that not every man was a bad person, just like not every woman was a good one.

It’s just that having been burdened with heavy thoughts her entire life, it was inevitable to develop such a mindset.

"What are you thinking about?" Jian Zhiqing set the stove in place and saw Qin Xiangnuan looking a bit distracted, with a hint of haze in her eyes.

"Nothing," Qin Xiangnuan exhaled a breath.

"Brother Jian, thank you," she said, looking at the neatly arranged belongings, feeling truly grateful to him. If she had to do it all by herself, who knows how long it would have taken.

"Is it just ’thank you’ that you’ve got?" Jian Zhiqing asked with a hint of suggestiveness, which made Qin Xiangnuan’s ears blush slightly.

Then... what do you want? She stuttered with the question, her hand inadvertently tugging at the corner of her clothes. Surely he wasn’t asking for her hand in marriage, was he? That wouldn’t be right; she was still underage.

"Um..." Jian Zhiqing stroked his forehead with his finger, "Make me a few clothes. I’ll pay for them. My coat was taken by my dad."

"Alright," Qin Xiangnuan bit her lip lightly, remembering the pile of unfinished garments in her system. She didn’t know why she had prepared so many, perhaps her heart somehow knew this day would come.

"Let’s go," Jian Zhiqing ruffled Qin Xiangnuan’s hair, "As a young girl, you shouldn’t dwell on heavy thoughts so much."

He extended his hand, and after a moment’s hesitation, Qin Xiangnuan reached out her own. Before she could prepare herself mentally, her icy hand was already firmly held.

"Why is it so cold?" Jian Zhiqing frowned slightly.

As he held her hand tighter, Qin Xiangnuan pulled the scarf around her neck snug, yet her gaze landed on Jian Zhiqing’s bare neck. Wasn’t he cold?

When they got back, Qin Xiangnuan made porridge, cooked a few pancakes, and added a Conghua sausage; the two of them and the dog all ate their fill, and then they each had nothing pressing to do. After Qin Xiangnuan fed Conghua, she let Jian Zhiqing take the dog for a walk.

Standing at the doorway, Conghua barked incessantly at the interior, apparently urging Jian Zhiqing on.

"Coming," said Jian Zhiqing, who had changed into lighter clothes, as he gently kicked Conghua’s butt, "What’s gotten into you lately, can’t seem to stay in, can we?"
