....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Xing asked about that woman’s background.
The manager of the brothel told everything truthfully. It did not sound like there was anything wrong.
When he was done asking questions, Zhou Xing stood up. “Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll make a move first.” &
The manager accompanied him out of the entrance and shoved two bags of snacks into his arms. Only then did his heart finally calm down.
A few days later, Zhou Xing left from Meng Zi’s home and went to the Peace-keeping Bureau to work. When he passed by the shelter, he saw a beautiful figure.
She stood with her back to the door and was drying some clothes in the courtyard.
As if she sensed Zhou Xing’s gaze, she slowly turned her head. Their eyes met, and Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment.
He quickly calmed down after a momentary feeling of unease. He then pushed open the door to the shelter.
When the woman saw Zhou Xing, her dewy eyes instantly lit up.
“Young Master.”
The woman stepped forward and curtsied, behaving very much like a young lady from a wealthy family.
Zhou Xing was a little embarrassed. He had grown up in the northern wilderness and had never seen such a beautiful and dignified woman.
You… you don’t have to do this. I’m not a young master.”
The woman stood up shyly and smiled. ’’Young Master, you can just call me QingQing.”
Zhou Xing nodded. “My name is Zhou Xing. I work in the Peace-keeping Bureau. You can call me Zhou Xing. I’ve been busy these few days and forgot about you. I just want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?” She couldn’t possibly stay in the shelter next to the Peace-keeping Bureau forever. Upon hearing this, Qing Qing lowered her eyes. “To be honest with you, I want to leave my father. As long as I can have a bite of food, I’m willing to go anywhere.”
No one would want to go back to their family if they had a relative who wanted to sell them.
Zhou Xing understood her feelings, but how to settle her down was indeed a problem. The main thing was that it was not suitable for her to be placed in the school at her age.
Sky Alpha City would raise children without relatives for free, but this provision was only limited to children.
Qing Qing stole a glance at Zhou Xing. She mustered her courage and said softly, “I can do anything. I can wash clothes, cook, and clean. I don’t have any requests. I only ask for a bite to eat. Please take me in, Young Master Zhou.” Huh? Zhou Xing was taken aback. She wanted to stay with him?
His father passed away last year, and his mother was the only one left in the family. It was indeed not a problem for him to raise one more person with the money he earned every month…
However…
They had only met twice.
“Xmg’er, why are you here? I couldn’t find you in the front hall,” Zhou Xing’s mother called out.
As the two of them were talking, a middle-aged woman walked in.
“Mother, why are you here?” Zhou Xing was very surprised.
The elder Mrs. Zhou only glanced at Zhou Xing once before her gaze fell on QingQing.
“Is this girl new to your Peace-keeping Bureau? What do you do? You’re really very pretty.” y
Qing Qing lowered her head shyly and said softly, “Aunt, I… I’m not from working in the Peace-keeping Bureau. I met some bad guys on the road a few days ago and was saved by Young Master Zhou. I have no place to go for the time being, so Young Master Zhou arranged for me to stay in the shelter.” Mrs. Zhou became excited when she heard that.
“Gosh! Why does a nice girl like you have no place to go? Where’s your family?” After Qing Qing explained her situation, she knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhou. “Please take me in, Aunt. I… I eat very little. I only need to eat one meal a day.
I… I really don’t dare to go back. I’m afraid that my father will sell me to that place again.”
Mrs. Zhou was a kind-hearted person. After listening to Qing Qing, she felt very bad for the girl.
Who could bear to see a good girl being sold to such a place?
“Good child, don’t be anxious. Come back with me first. Although my family isn t rich, I can still offer you a bite to eat.”
However, Zhou Xing didn’t think it was appropriate to do this. Why did they have to let a girl follow them home for no reason? Although the rules of Sky Alpha City weren’t so strict, Qing Qing was still an unmarried girl. If this matter were to spread, would she still be able to get married?
“Thank you, Aunt. Thank you, Young Master Zhou. You… you two are Qing Qing’s benefactors.”
Zhou Xing swallowed the words he was about to say. Forget it. He would go to
Qing Qing’s house and talk to her family later.
Mrs. Zhou happily brought Qing Qing home.
Where are you going?” Tian Niu was coming out of the courtyard when she saw Mrs. Zhou who was about to go out and called out to her.
■Tm going to buy a fish. We have guests today,” Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhou’s words made Tian Niu a little curious. At this juncture, everyone was busy developing the wasteland and plowing to grow the spring crops. Who had the time to visit other people’s houses?
“Gosh, I can’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to buy fish first.”
Tian Niu looked curiously at Mrs. Zhou’s courtyard house and saw a slender figure standing in the courtyard. She was even more puzzled, but she did not think too much about it and turned to leave.
In the evening, Mrs. Zhou made two meat dishes in a surprising change of habit. One was a roasted fish, and the other was scrambled egg with some pickled vegetables.
Zhou Xing had an income every month, and he also had land to farm. Despite this, it was still a luxury to eat meat a few times a month. His family could only bear to eat such dishes during the New Year.
“Come, Qing Qing. Sit down quickly. Eat more.”
Mrs. Zhou entertained her warmly.
Zhou Xing had long since smelled the food aroma and had already sat down on a cham “Don’t stand on ceremony. My mother’s cooking is not bad. Try it.” Qing Qing looked very grateful. She picked up her chopsticks and picked some food for Mrs. Zhou. “Aunt, eat more.”
“Ah, sure, sure, sure.”
At night, Mrs. Zhou cleaned up an empty house in their compound for Qing
Qing to live in and even found her a set of clean clothes.
“My size looks about the same as yours. Just make do with it. When Zhou Xing gets his pay this month, I’ll go and get you some fabric and make you a new set of clothes.”
“Thank you, Aunt. I’ll just wear old clothes. Please don’t spend money on me.” Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, “What are you talking about? It’s not much money. The hot water is at the back. Go get some hot water to wash up and go to bed early.”
“Alright.”
Qing Qing took her clothes to the back courtyard to wash up. When she walked out of the bathroom, she happened to bump into Zhou Xing who was wiping his body in the courtyard.
Zhou Xing turned around when he heard the noise and saw Qing Qing standing in the night wearing only a thin tunic.
Under the moonlight, her fair skin seemed to be covered in a layer of light She was so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off her. In particular, her shy and timid eyes caused Zhou Xing’s body to be engulfed in waves of hot sensation. Inexplicably, he walked up to Qing Qing and hugged her.
“Young… Young Master Zhou…” Her soft voice was like a bewitching spell which almost made Zhou Xing lose his rationality.
He suddenly carried her up horizontally and walked towards his room.
With a bang, the door was closed.
Mrs. Zhou heard the commotion and walked out of the house curiously. However, when she saw that the two doors were closed, she only thought that the wind had blown the doors shut. Without a second thought, she turned around to return to her room.
It was a night without dreams.
The rooster crowed in the morning, and the rays of golden light gradually spread across the earth.
Qmg Qing slowly opened her two eyes, and a look of shock flashed across her eyes when she turned to look beside her..
