At this moment, Wen spoke up, "Manager Zhang, let's talk about it tomorrow. We've already gone to bed." Mu Ping, even more terrified, clung tightly to Da Qi without uttering a sound. Da Qi had no choice; Ping was always timid, and this was probably the first time either of them had ever encountered such a blatant lecherous scoundrel! Ping, feeling guilty and afraid of something bad happening, could only hold onto Da Qi tightly. Luckily, it was dark, and Wen couldn't see him holding Ping, Da Qi thought. He gently supported Ping's back and said to her in an extremely low voice, "Don't be afraid, sweetheart! Your husband is here."
此时的童大奇心想万一他真要破门而入的话，自己肯定是要对他拳脚相加了，不过这人可不好对付，他长得太高大了！妈的，你他妈敢进来，老子就敢揍你！大奇心里已经做好了最坏的准备。无论发生什么他一定要保护好两个自己心爱的女人！
"No, no, Xiao Zhou, let me in to say a few words, I'll be leaving soon. Please open the door," Zhang Qingsheng said shamelessly.
What to do? What to do? Ping clung to Daqi, trembling. Daqi was seething with anger. Damn it, he really wanted to rush out and beat him up! But he held back; after all, things couldn't get out of hand. Because he had been in Wen and Ping's room without their consent, if word got out and this guy turned around and accused him, it wouldn't matter to him, but what about Wen and Ping? Their reputations were important! Ugh, what a coward, Daqi cursed himself!
It was the clever and resourceful Qi Wen who said to the door, "Manager Zhang, let's talk about the tourism tomorrow. I'm tired and want to sleep now. You should go back to your room and get some rest too!"
"Alright, alright, so you've agreed to go on this trip with me, Xiao Zhou!" Zhang Qingsheng said shamelessly.
"Let's talk about this tomorrow, okay, Manager Zhang?" Wen said helplessly.
"Okay, okay, we'll discuss the route in detail tomorrow. Xiao Zhou, Xiao Chen, you two go to sleep first. We agreed to talk about it tomorrow, right? Okay, okay, you two go to sleep early. I'm going back to my room to sleep too." Zhang Qingsheng really left after saying that.
Daqi gently stroked Mu Ping, comforting her and telling her not to be afraid. In his heart, he cursed Zhang Qingsheng, that beast. Zhang Qingsheng, you toad, you really want to eat swan meat? What an idiot! You think you're worthy of going on a trip with "Fairy" Mu Ping? If you were, the sun would rise in the west, you bastard!
As Daqi was thinking, the light suddenly came on, startling him. It was Wen who had turned on the light. But the moment the light came on, she actually laughed and said, "Look at you two, so affectionate!" Ping immediately broke free from Daqi's embrace, her face turning bright red. Daqi stammered, unable to speak. Because normally, Daqi and Ping wouldn't be overly affectionate in front of Wen. It had always been like this from the moment they became a couple.
"Alright, Mr. Tong, hurry up and get into bed with your wife! I won't mind!" Wen said generously.
"You scared me to death just now..." Ping said. Indeed, when Daqi hugged Ping, he felt her hands were very cold, very cold. Hey, Ping, you're so tall and slender, yet so timid. When will you learn to be more generous like Wen? At that moment, Daqi wished Ping could be half as generous as Wen. Wen always gave Daqi a sense of great poise; wherever they were, Wen was always a "phoenix among men"—no one could replace her in the most important place in Daqi's heart!
"Daqi, you should lie down and sleep in the same bed as your wife! It's such a long, dark night, you'll get tired if you just lie on the edge of the bed like this. I really don't mind!" Wen said to Daqi with a smile.
Helpless, Daqi took off his coat and hugged Ping to sleep. He was always willing to listen to Wen's arrangements! Wen smiled, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed as well.
Daqi lay on one bed with his girlfriend Ping in his arms, while on the bed right next to it lay his beloved girl—"Fairy" Zhou Qiwen. The two beds were pushed together, which made Daqi quite embarrassed. Ping slept on his left, and Qiwen on his right. Besides Ping's familiar scent, he could clearly hear "Fairy's" breathing, and even the fragrance emanating from her body filled his nostrils.
Daqi was embracing the stunningly beautiful Ping, while next to him slept Qiwen, the most beautiful woman in the world whom he had longed for day and night. He couldn't fall asleep for a while. Besides the intoxicating fragrance emanating from Ping, the scent of the "fairy" was an even greater olfactory delight. Two different, beautiful women lying almost in the same bed with him—Daqi found it hard to suppress his inner urges!
The moment he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with Qiwen's image, and at that moment, Qiwen was lying beside him. To be precise, Tong Daqi was sleeping sandwiched between two women. But he still suppressed his impulses towards Wen, because he loved Wen! The three of them fell asleep like this. In the middle of the night, Daqi drifted into a dream. He dreamed that he was back in the all-too-familiar "Garden of Flowers," where hundreds of flowers were still in full bloom, their fragrance filling the air. Soon, all the flowers and plants in the garden turned black and white, like the black and white television screen he watched as a child. The flowers and plants in the entire garden appeared monotonous and dull, without a trace of vitality. But there was one red peony that remained incredibly vibrant and radiant! Daqi was very happy. He approached the red peony and gently stroked each of its petals. Just as he was about to examine it more closely, a gentle breeze swept by, and the red peony vanished without a trace in an instant. He started to panic. Where was the red peony? Where was the red peony? Where had that peony that had attracted him gone? He searched and searched, looking all over the garden, but he still couldn't find that most vibrant peony... He felt desperate and lost, standing there blankly in the garden, just standing there...
With a loud "boom," the sound of the construction excavator starting up on the construction site brought Daqi back to reality from his dream. However, when he woke up, he still clearly remembered what he had seen in his dream—the peony in his dream was gone!
Oh no! I had another wet dream! Daqi touched himself and found his underwear was soaked. Luckily, Wen and Ping were still asleep, otherwise he would have been in a terrible state.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Blood Splattered on the Beauty
Daqi glanced at Wen, who was fast asleep beside him. "Fairy" truly was "Fairy"; even in her sleep, she was so beautiful, so serene. She was breathing evenly, her breath perfectly calm, a faint smile playing on her lips. Qiwen would always be like the most beautiful red peony! Yes, Daqi suddenly remembered a dream he'd had before where Qiwen was standing on a peony… No, no, no! Qiwen wasn't that most vibrant red peony. Was he overthinking things? Because that most beautiful red peony had suddenly vanished in his dream. Daqi vaguely sensed that something was about to happen in the near future, but he couldn't quite describe what it would be. He didn't want the most beautiful "fairy"—the woman he loved most—to leave him. He only hoped to be able to look at her like this every day, even if he didn't want anything else. He would be content as long as he could see her sleeping face when he woke up every morning... He wished that time could stand still at this moment, because if time could stand still, he could look at that peaceful face forever!
Daqi murmured to the sleeping Qiwen, "Wen, I love you! I will protect you forever, no matter what happens in the future!" He gazed at Wen, at her stunningly beautiful face. But suddenly, the "fairy" in his dream opened her eyes, startling Daqi! He tried to avert his gaze, but her eyes were gentle, and a smile graced her face. Daqi's heart pounded wildly. How could this be? "Fairy," he thought, "please forgive me for secretly looking at you. I didn't mean to. You are so beautiful and captivating, and I love you so much!"
However, Wen simply looked at Daqi peacefully, and he slowly relaxed. He gently said to Wen, "You...aren't you going to sleep?" Wen smiled and shook her head. Daqi felt that Wen was truly the most beautiful woman in the world at this moment; perhaps she was the incarnation of Chang'e, or Chang'e herself descended to earth! Just as Daqi was about to say something, Mu Ping in his arms gradually woke up, and she lazily called out, "Xuan!" Wen immediately turned her head away, avoiding Daqi's eyes.
Daqi glanced at his watch; it was 8:15. He quickly urged the two girls to get up. He had arranged to meet Wang Youcai at 9:00 sharp, and the three of them would ride back to school in his Toyota. After they finished washing up, the two girls packed their most important documents, wallets, and such. Daqi told them to try not to bring any luggage so that it wouldn't be seen by the other people at the construction site. He explained that once they returned to school, he would mail their belongings back to them.
After the two women finished getting ready, it was nearly nine o'clock. Daqi led them to Wang Youcai. Wang Youcai had already prepared the car. He warmly invited Daqi and the others to get in.
Daqi and his two companions sat in the back seat of the car. Somehow, he was sandwiched between two girls again. Wang Youcai drove while making trivial jokes with the students.
Daqi was quite grateful to the contractor, Wang Youcai. To be honest, he really thought highly of himself and was incredibly generous. As the saying goes, "A generous heart brings wealth." No wonder this man could secure such a high-priced project; he was a truly good person. In the parlance of the underworld: a true friend, a real buddy!
Along the way, Daqi would steal glances at Wen every now and then. Each time their eyes met, she would give him a slight smile. This smile conveyed kindness and gratitude. This made Daqi very happy; as long as the "fairy" was happy, he had no regrets!
The car traveled smoothly along the highway towards Rongzhou. After nearly seven hours, Daqi and his group were approaching Rongzhou's borders. During those seven hours, Wang Youcai had stopped once to treat Daqi and the others to lunch.
Suddenly, the car slammed on the brakes! A sudden stop at over 100 kilometers per hour! In that instant, everyone in the car was thrown forward by inertia. Daqi heard a sharp "screech!" and, perhaps instinctively, or perhaps to protect the two women sitting beside him, he immediately stretched out his arms to try and stop Wen and Ping from falling forward. Both women cried out, grabbing the man beside them—Tong Daqi—and his outstretched arms! By the time the women reacted, Daqi's body had already lurched forward, his head slamming hard against the back of the front seat. This seat, perhaps due to prolonged use, had exposed springs. Daqi's head struck these exposed springs squarely.
Daqi felt a "boom," and his head felt dizzy and a little painful, but not very painful; it was mostly a feeling of dizziness...
It turned out that Wang Youcai nearly rear-ended a large truck while driving on the highway. Since Wang Youcai was wearing a seatbelt, he was unharmed. Qi Wen and Mu Ping were also relatively unharmed thanks to Da Qi's intervention and their simultaneous restraints; it was just a false alarm. The only poor soul was Da Qi. His forehead was cut by the exposed spring of the car seat back, and his head slammed into it. He almost passed out, blood streaming down his forehead. In no time, his face was covered in blood…
Wang Youcai panicked and hurriedly asked if anyone was injured. Seeing Daqi's injury, he was extremely worried and asked how he was, if he was alright. Qiwen and Muping were even more distressed. Qiwen, in particular, immediately pulled out a tissue from her pocket and used her delicate hand to press it against Daqi's bleeding wound. Daqi was still dazed and hadn't fully recovered. Qiwen hugged Daqi tightly, crying and asking if he was alright. Muping wanted to help Daqi, but seeing Qiwen's actions, she could only quietly watch him from the side, holding a tissue in her hand as well. Clearly, Muping was also on the verge of tears.
Upon seeing this, Wang Youcai was about to dial 122 for traffic accident assistance without saying a word. At this moment, Qi Wen was crying her heart out. She hugged Da Qi, covering his wound and crying out, "Da Qi, you can't be hurt! You can't be hurt!"
At this moment, Tong Daqi spoke up: "I'm fine, Brother Wang, keep driving. Be careful, don't stay on the highway for too long, or the police will be here soon. Drive!" Wang Youcai hurriedly asked Daqi, "Are you really alright? You scared me to death!" Daqi urged him, "I'm not going to die, drive!" Without saying another word, Wang Youcai started the engine and continued driving.
Qiwen held Daqi tightly, her hand never loosening its grip on the wound on his forehead. The tissue in her hand was already stained red with blood…
Both women asked Daqi with concern if he was alright. Daqi smiled slightly at them; he only felt dizzy, but his heart was filled with warmth. He saw Mu Ping looking at him with concern in her eyes, and he smiled gently at her, saying, "Silly girl, your husband won't die!"
What warmed Daqi's heart most was the care shown to him by "Fairy" Qiwen. She held him tightly, her soft hands pressing against his wound, and his head rested in her arms. "Fairy's" embrace was so fragrant, so warm, so soft! Suddenly, he felt a salty, bitter, and wet taste in his mouth. It was the tears of his dream girl and the woman he loved most—Wen—that had dripped into his mouth.
Daqi smiled and said to Wen, "Wen, don't cry, I'm fine."
"You said it was nothing, but you bled so much and your skin was all cut."

Section Reading 23
"That's a huge chunk!" Wen said. "It's all because of me... that's why we've ended up like this..."
Daqi smiled at Wen, repeatedly gesturing for her to stop talking. Actually, he felt the pain from his wound had subsided, though he was still a little dizzy. At that moment, Daqi quietly savored Wen's care and tenderness. He finally knew that Wen still loved him! He felt like the happiest man in the world!
Wen, I know you still love me, and I think of you every single moment! Just hold me like this, hold me forever, I need you to hold me! Daqi called out Wen's name tenderly in his heart, believing that Wen could hear his voice. He also believed that Wen was calling his name in her heart at that moment!
Wen, no matter what you think, I, Tong Daqi, will definitely love you the most in this life. As long as you're willing, I will love you for all eternity! But what about Ping, Daqi thought? In short, he also had deep feelings for Ping. To hell with all the ancestors, I, Tong Daqi, am going to make both of these women my wives, and I'm going to defy the world!
Daqi wasn't worried about Ping at all. He believed Ping wouldn't mind that he and Wen were in love. But what about Wen? Could she accept that he and Ping were also in love? Sigh... what should he do? Daqi pondered how to deal with Wen's feelings.
Regardless of the consequences, I've already decided to make them both my wives! Fine, I'll work harder to win Wen over. I'll win her over until she agrees to be my girlfriend, until she agrees to marry me, until she agrees to accept Mu Ping as well! I, Tong Daqi, am a true man, and I will do what others dare not even dream of—make two stunning women my wives at the same time! I, Tong Daqi, will be a real man!
I will love both Qianru and Chunxiao. But my love for them will always be limited to love, even mad love, a love that can never be made public! I must consider not only my own feelings but also the reputations of these two beautiful women! Perhaps the only things in this world that cannot be spoken of are my romantic affairs with these two beautiful women…
Chapter Thirty-Three: A Night Visit to a Young Woman
Throughout the journey, Daqi quietly pondered his relationships with the women who deeply loved him. Qiwen clung to Daqi the whole way, while Muping held one of Daqi's hands tightly...
Soon, the car arrived at the gate of Binhai Construction Engineering School. Wang Youcai parked the car and got out to open the door for Daqi and the others, as he was more concerned about Daqi's injuries. Daqi said he was fine and told Wang Youcai to go back to the construction site first, promising to return in three days to help him. After confirming that Daqi was alright, Wang Youcai drove back to the construction site, where he had a lot of things to handle. Qiwen and Muping helped Daqi into the school's medical room. The school doctor gave Daqi a tetanus shot and bandaged his wound, which was on his forehead; Tong Daqi had suddenly been "hit on the head."
Daqi felt a great sense of accomplishment, having finally safely escorted the two girls—his two beloved women—back to school. He was especially happy that he had finally regained the courage to pursue Qiwen. For a man, what is the most terrifying thing in the world? It's losing the courage to pursue the woman he loves! Today, he finally had the courage to pursue Qiwen again, and Daqi was overjoyed! He believed that as long as he persisted, he would definitely win the heart of this most beautiful "fairy" in the world—Qiwen. He was absolutely certain that this "fairy" would become his wife!
After accompanying Daqi out of the medical room, the two girls went back to their dorm to make their beds. Daqi initially thought of going back to his dorm to make his bed as well, but then he remembered that it had been a long time since he'd seen Qianru and Chunxiao. He figured he might as well stay at Qianru and Chunxiao's house for the next couple of nights to avoid the hassle of making his bed. He had to go back to the construction site in three days.
He was about to call Qianru and Chunxiao when someone called out to him. "Xuan!" Such a warm voice addressed him. Daqi turned around and saw it was "Fairy" Qiwen. To his memory, this was the first time she had ever addressed him so affectionately!
"Wen, what's wrong? Aren't you going to make the bed?" Daqi asked.
“We’ll make it,” Wen said. “Let’s have dinner together tonight! At that ‘century-old porridge’ shop we met last time. Do you have time? Their porridge is really delicious!”
"Okay, okay!" Daqi quickly replied. He had no reason to refuse the "fairy's" invitation to dinner! Thinking about it, he realized it had been a long time since he had dined with the "fairy."
"It's settled then!" Qiwen said before turning around and going back to her dorm.
After watching Qiwen return to her dormitory, Daqi happily went to the school's public phone booth. He dialed Qianru and Chunxiao's cell phones and spoke with them.
The two beautiful women were overjoyed to learn that Daqi was in Rongzhou. They both hoped he could find some time to visit them in the next couple of days. Daqi, knowing his place, told them he had some school business to attend to but would definitely come to their house to see them. He asked each woman to wait for him at home, and they both happily agreed and hung up. He knew they must miss him terribly, and he missed them just as much. But no need to rush; he'd be going to "take care" of these two beautiful young women in the next couple of days, hahaha, Tong Daqi thought to himself with a smug smile!
Around 6 p.m., Daqi, Wen, and Ping arrived at the "Centennial Congee" restaurant. Each of them ordered a large bowl of congee; Daqi chose the preserved egg and lean pork congee. They also ordered some side dishes. As with their usual dates, Wen and Ping sat together, while Daqi sat facing them.
Daqi noticed that both women were in high spirits tonight, and their beauty once again attracted the attention of all the customers drinking porridge in the shop. No matter where they were, their beauty was enough to draw everyone's gaze. Daqi first served Wen the porridge, then served Ping. All three were in good spirits, eating and chatting. Clearly, Wen was in a particularly good mood tonight. She was very concerned about Daqi's injury and, in front of Ping, gently touched Daqi's bandaged forehead with her delicate hand, asking him if his injury was better. Daqi said he was fine, and he was truly happy that Wen cared so much about him.
Wen told Daqi that she and Ping definitely wouldn't work in architecture after graduation; they would both go to work for her aunt's fashion design company. This company was quite large and was in the process of becoming a group, located in Rongzhou city, with a storefront on the city's fashion street.
Daqi asked Ping, "Ping, have you really decided to become a model for a fashion company?"
Ping smiled and said, "Honey, I just love this industry. I can't get interested in anything else, especially the construction industry."
Daqi readily agreed, then asked Wen, "Wen, what are you going there for?"
“Design!” Wen winked at Daqi and said, “I’ve loved fashion design since I was little. My aunt owns the company, and she’s always trying to get me to help her out!”
Daqi smiled happily and said, "Wen, you're always so talented, you can do anything! You're not going to be a policeman anymore?"
Wen smiled and said, "My dad always wants me to follow in his footsteps, but somehow I've gradually stopped wanting to be a policeman. What are you planning to do after you graduate?"
Daqi said, "I don't have much money. If I had the capital, I'd like to start a decoration company. I'm optimistic about the prospects of this industry, and I also know a little about construction, so it shouldn't be a problem. However, after graduation, I'll work for someone else for a few years first. In short, after this internship, I won't go to construction sites anymore, and I have no interest in them."
Wen said, "The decoration industry still has a promising future in Rongzhou. It would be best if you worked here after you graduate. Your wife and I are both here!"
Daqi looked at Ping, who was looking at him with concern, and Wen did too. He knew he had no other choice. Actually, he didn't want to go back to Changqing or anywhere else after graduation. He nodded and said, "Of course, there are more opportunities to start a business in the provincial capital, and besides, I don't want to leave you all!"
The two girls burst into laughter after hearing this. Later, Daqi told them that he had gone to the construction site to work for Wang Youcai for free for a month as a way of repaying a favor, since Wang had taken Wen and Ping back to school. After a month, he would return to Rongzhou to find a job at a decoration company, as a way to gain work experience so that he could start his own company later.
Wen said, "Qi, you don't need to go back to that awful construction site. It's disgusting!"
Ping also expressed her strong agreement. Daqi just smiled and said, "I don't want to owe Wang Youcai anything. It's just for one month. I'll come back as soon as my internship ends. I won't stay in a place like that."
Wen nodded and said, "Okay, then you must come back soon. Ping and I are waiting for you to come back!" Ping also nodded to Daqi at this time.
Daqi nodded, deeply moved. He thought to himself that of course he would return as soon as possible. His two beloved women, especially "Fairy" Wen, were in Rongzhou, along with two other beautiful women. He would rather die in Rongzhou!
After the three finished their porridge, Daqi escorted the two girls back to their dorm. On the way, Wen suggested that she and Ping rent an apartment in the city in a few days to prepare for their internships or jobs at a fashion company. Ping wholeheartedly agreed. Wen then said to Ping, "Let's rent a two-bedroom apartment. I'll have one room, and you and Daqi will share, okay?" Ping happily replied, "Okay!" Daqi readily agreed as well.
He was overjoyed. Wouldn't this mean he could live with the "fairy" every day? Of course, this "living together" wasn't the same as the traditional concept of "cohabitation"! But the most important thing was that he could see Wen every day! He was confident that Wen would accept him as her boyfriend, and she wouldn't mind Ping being with him. Because the "fairy" no longer minded him having Ping as a girlfriend. Wen, oh Wen, I, Tong Daqi, will definitely make you my woman for life!
After escorting the two girls back to their dorms, Daqi, disregarding the darkness, took a bus to Qianru's house. He really missed Qianru and Chunxiao. But things had to be done in order. He'd spend the night at Qianru's beautiful and charming home; that was the only thought in Daqi's mind at that moment!
The moment Daqi knocked on Qianru's door, she almost screamed with joy. Qianru quickly opened the door and welcomed Daqi into her house.
"You clumsy fool, why didn't you call to say you were coming? I thought you'd be here tomorrow or the day after! You're so impulsive and unrefined!" Qianru was clearly happy about Daqi's appearance but also annoyed by his sudden "surprise arrival." Daqi hugged the lovely woman tightly, smiling as he said, "Sister, wasn't this a surprise for you?"
Qianru then smiled and said happily, "You romantic, you have so many tricks up your sleeve!" Suddenly, she asked Daqi with concern about his bandaged head, "My dear, what happened to your head? It's wrapped up so badly, are you alright?" Daqi said he had scraped his scalp in the car. Hearing this, Qianru felt extremely distressed and quickly made him sit down on the sofa, examining Daqi's bandaged wound over and over again. She even gently touched the bandaged area, asking "Are you alright?" several times.
Tong Daqi then pulled Qianru into his arms, making her sit on his lap. He kept stroking her armpits, making Qianru giggle incessantly. The woman's laughter caused her entire body, especially her large, prominent breasts, to tremble. She repeatedly begged Daqi to let go. Daqi not only refused but also began to caress her soft, luscious breasts through her clothes. He kneaded them vigorously, finding them quite impressive; after all, he hadn't touched them for over a month, and tonight he would enjoy them to his heart's content. The woman clearly enjoyed it, laughing and scolding, "You're injured and still bullying me! You're greedy for lust!" Daqi retorted, "Who told you to be so beautiful? I've missed you terribly since I left you!" Qianru quickly asked Daqi, "Is your wound really healed?" Daqi smiled and shook his head. Qianru sighed and said, "You little rascal, be more careful in the future! Have you had dinner?" Daqi replied that he had.
After hearing this, Qianru said to Daqi, "You sit in the living room and watch TV. I'm going to the supermarket across the street to buy some things." Daqi hurriedly asked, "Sister, it's almost 10 o'clock. It's so dark, the supermarket should be closed by now. What do you want to buy? We can buy it tomorrow. Or I can go with you." Qianru quickly said, "No need. Don't expose your wound to the night wind. The supermarket doesn't close until 10 o'clock, it's just a short walk away, I'll be right back. You wait here, my dear!"
Hearing Qianru say this, Daqi didn't say anything, but only asked, "Then go ahead, and come back quickly! By the way, is Jiajia asleep?" Qianru replied that Jiajia had been taken away by her grandparents and would no longer live here, while putting on her coat, taking her keys, and leaving.
Chapter Thirty-Four: The Seductive Woman's New Tricks
Daqi sat alone on the sofa watching TV. About ten minutes later, Qianru returned home carrying half a pig's head. Daqi quickly helped Qianru carry the pig's head into the kitchen and asked, "Sister, what are you doing buying this?" Qianru smiled and said, "Eating a head is good for your health. Luckily, the supermarket still had half a head. I'll make soup for you right away so your injury will heal faster."
Daqi finally understood that Qianru had gone to the supermarket despite the darkness for his sake. For some reason, a strange feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart at that moment. He gently hugged Qianru and whispered in her ear, "Sister, thank you! You're so good to me!" Qianru smiled slightly and replied, "Honey, let go of me quickly. Go sit in the living room. I'm going to make some soup."
Daqi walked out of the kitchen, filled with gratitude, and sat down in the living room. He felt that Qianru was truly good to him. This kindness wasn't entirely the kind between a man and a woman; Daqi suddenly felt that it was somewhat similar to the kindness his own mother had shown him. Yes, at this moment, Qianru truly resembled his mother. Sometimes, a woman's affection for a man is just like a mother's affection for her son. Perhaps the feelings between a man and a woman, when they reach a certain point, evolve into familial love.
Qianru was busy in the kitchen for a while before coming out. Daqi sat on the sofa, put his arm around her, and started talking to her about some accidents that had happened at the construction site. Qianru was a little worried about Daqi's safety and advised him not to go back to the construction site. Daqi said he would work for Wang Youcai for free for a month as a way of repaying a favor, since he had taken Qiwen and Muping back to school. He briefly mentioned the incident of the two female classmates being harassed, saying that everything was fine now.
