Chapter 157 Work
Qiao Xiao: "But he's too neurotic. His personality changes every few minutes. Who can stand that?"
She asked, "Qin Yan, do you want to regain your memories?"
Qin Yan shook his head absently, "I don't know."
Qiao Xiao: "But I can't support you, I can't even support myself."
Qin Yan's cold eyes trembled slightly as he curled up, "I'll think of a way."
Qiao Xiao pressed, "What can you do? You're still an unregistered resident, what can you do? To take back everything you have, you have to remember."
Qin Yan's inherent pride cannot be extinguished. He was born to stand at the top of the pyramid, and even if he is pulled down to the dust, he can still go back.
His expression shifted slightly. "If I don't crush him, I'll just be a walking corpse too."
Upon hearing about the breakthrough, Qiao Xiao's eyes lit up instantly. "Great! I'll go and kill him."
Qin Yan's eyes were filled with disbelief. "What did you say?"
Qiao Xiao's eyes darted left and right. "Is this surprising? Qin Yan, I'm not a normal person to begin with, I'm more or less neurotic, so why are you surprised to hear this?"
Qin Yan fell silent, unsure how to face Qiao Xiao. "You can't do it."
Qiao Xiao smiled slightly, "There's nothing I can't do."
"Listen up, Qin Yan, don't think it's a waste. It would be a shame not to use a good dagger."
Qin Yan stared blankly at her. "Why? What's the reason?"
Qiao Xiao tilted her head and asked him in return, "What reason do you think I have to save you?"
Qin Yan didn't understand, he just felt a strange surge of excitement. What was it that was awakening his emotions?
He gazed at the increasingly clear image of the girl, feeling an indescribable surge of emotion; she was too dazzling. It was as if he had been trapped in darkness for too long, and that's why it felt so blinding.
"Qiao Xiao, my eyes seem to see more clearly than before."
Qiao Xiao: "Then you'll soon find out what I look like."
"Yes, I really want to see you in person."
His voice was hoarse, and Qiao Xiao had to take care of an injured person. Loving someone is like growing a flower. She was too concerned about those she was trying to win over. Acting also required her to put in emotion, which made her feel exhausted.
They quickly adapted to spending time together, and each of their chosen partners had a peculiar trait: they would quickly take on household chores.
Different people, different figures, would cook for her day after day. Wisps of smoke would always linger in the light after dusk. They were surrounded by the breath of life in the smoke, like angels transformed into gentle and virtuous husbands.
She expends her emotional energy on him every day, and only the fleeting scent of his presence can offer her some comfort, allowing her to keep living a little longer.
Over time, Qin Yan got used to Qiao Xiao's presence, and his affection for her reached 60% during their time together.
Looking at his increasingly skilled figure, Qiao Xiao considered that it was time to give him a push.
There was a woman, Su Jing, who fell in love with Qin Yan at first sight.
If I use this character well, I might be able to create a rift between us, and then I can justifiably kick him out.
It's important to strike the right balance, otherwise all the effort you've put into building up goodwill will be wasted. It's best to make him feel guilty.
Qiao Xiao deliberately timed the meeting so that Qin Yan and Su Jing could meet.
Upon seeing Qin Yan, Su Jing blushed and greeted him, "Good morning."
Qin Yan nodded politely in response, "Okay."
Despite the brief encounter, Su Jing felt an indescribable flutter in her heart.
Once, she saw Qiao Xiao go out alone, so she quickly went up to her and tentatively asked, "Hello, why didn't I see him come out with you?"
Qiao Xiao: "Him? Why mention him specifically?" Her tone was slightly wary.
Su Jing boldly stated, "I just feel that he looks a lot like someone I know."
Qiao Xiao didn't think Su Jing could help Qin Yan regain his memory. She simply replied, "If that's the case, when you have time, talk to him more. He's quite lonely by himself."
Su Jing: "Aren't you his girlfriend?"
Qiao Xiao: "No."
Su Jing was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Okay."
Qiao Xiao began to intentionally or unintentionally reduce the time she spent with Qin Yan, and always made excuses that she had appointments with other people.
Qin Yan felt uneasy. He secretly observed that he always saw Qiao Xiao and her neighbor Su Jing going out together, and it felt like a stone was stuck in his heart.
Su Jing is an introverted girl. She only dares to ask Qiao Xiao about Qin Yan's preferences and doesn't dare to contact Qin Yan directly. However, Qiao Xiao is not going to act as a matchmaker and will leave everything to individual development.
Qin Yan was originally focused on revenge, but now he's somewhat immersed in the time he's spent with Qiao Xiao. It's so comfortable that he's almost forgotten the pain he went through before.
He sometimes even fantasized about staying by her side forever, but he quickly dismissed the idea. He not only had amnesia but also no job, and she had brought it up more than once.
Every time the topic came up, she didn't deliberately target him, but instead said with difficulty, "We're going to be broke again."
As a man, you absolutely cannot rely on a woman to support you; you must earn your own basic dignity.
"I should go to work."
Qiao Xiao looked at Qin Yan with a puzzled expression and said, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so don't go out."
Then I realized that this attitude was wrong, and I should indeed have the intention to drive him away; I almost forgot about that.
Qin Yan was slightly taken aback, his deep eyes blinking a few more times. He looked up at Qiao Xiao, wondering, "Didn't she always hope that I could make money?"
Just as I was about to ask, Qiao Xiao said, "You can be unable to find a job."
She continued, "The girl next door to me seems to specialize in the internet industry. I'll ask her to come over and mentor you when I have time."
Qin Yan remained silent for a moment, then nodded reluctantly in agreement. He was extremely reluctant to have contact with other people, but he absolutely could not rely too much on Qiao Xiao; he had to do something.
Su Jing was overjoyed to learn that she was going to mentor Qin Yan at work, and she prepared enthusiastically. However, when she arrived at Qiao Xiao's house, Qin Yan's gaze remained fixed on Qiao Xiao, which left Su Jing feeling somewhat disappointed.
Qiao Xiao deliberately avoided Qin Yan's gaze and turned to go into the kitchen.
Su Jing began explaining some online part-time jobs, but Qin Yan was distracted, which Qiao Xiao noticed immediately.
Suddenly, Qiao Xiao interrupted them, "Miss Su, I'm sorry, please go back for a moment. I think Qin Yan seems tired and wants to rest."
Su Jing turned to Qin Yan and said, "It's okay, Qiao Xiao. It seems Qin Yan isn't that tired. I can teach her a little longer."
Qin Yan said, "Don't push yourself, Miss Su. You've had enough to do today, and you've talked enough."
Su Jing reluctantly said, "Alright then, I'll teach you another day."
She slowly packed her things, her eyes constantly glancing at Qin Yan, before reluctantly leaving.
After Su Jing left, Qiao Xiao walked up to Qin Yan and questioned, "Why couldn't you concentrate?"
Qin Yan rubbed his forehead and replied softly, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Xiao: "I'm not the one you should apologize to. Miss Su was so patient in teaching you, didn't you even show some basic respect? I just wanted you to get back to your life as soon as possible, is that wrong?"
Upon hearing this explanation, Qin Yan's expression darkened slightly. "Go back to your own life as soon as possible?" He repeated her words.
Qiao Xiao feigned indifference, "That's right, I just want you to become independent as soon as possible."
Qin Yan grasped her hand. "You're lying. Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Qiao Xiao shook off his hand. "What are you saying?" Her face turned impatient, and she said firmly, "I don't care what you think, just learn it as soon as possible!"
Qin Yan clenched his fists tightly and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Okay, I will."
For the next week, Su Jing would come to give lessons, but Qin Yan's self-learning ability was terrifyingly strong, and she could hardly help him at all; he was completely self-taught.
Qin Yan was polite to Su Jing, but not enthusiastic.
He quickly got started with online part-time jobs, splitting the rent equally with Qiao Xiao.
