Chapter 425 Leaving home to spend the New Year away from home

Ye Xiaotong nodded. "Much better, Yuyao. Why aren't you carsick anymore?"

Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "I get dizzy if I'm in a car and it's rocking around for more than two hours, but I don't get dizzy when I'm driving."

"Really?"

Lin Yuyao nodded, "You'll understand once you buy a car and drive it yourself."

What?

Buy your own car?

Is she telling a story?

Ye Xiaotong laughed and said, "You think too highly of me. Even if you sold me, I still couldn't afford a car."

"Just because you can't afford it now doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it in the future. Look, prices are rising now, wages are rising, but TVs, electric fans, and cars aren't going up in price much. Have you noticed?"

Ye Xiaotong shook her head in bewilderment.

She never even dared to dream of owning such expensive items; how could she have known?

Lin Yuyao then realized that Ye Xiaotong didn't care about any of this.

She patted her on the shoulder and said, "There will be a television, there will be a telephone, and there will be a car."

Ye Xiaotong returned home, her heart pounding with excitement, carrying the things she had bought that day.

She decorated her small apartment, which cost twenty yuan a month, and kept it clean and cozy.

This is her temporary little home.

Looking at the shopping bags on the small sofa, she felt a mix of emotions.

Going shopping with them at a large shopping mall today was a very moving experience for Ye Xiaotong.

She envied the freedom to buy clothes, jewelry, and expensive cosmetics as she pleased.

They were spending money they earned themselves. It turns out that women can earn a lot of money too, without having to depend on their families or men.

They earn their own money, buy what they like, and spend it with peace of mind and use it with confidence.

Yu Yao told her that before she opened the Xingyun Society, she worked in a bookstore while writing novels, and she earned a lot of money by writing novels.

She can also write, though not very long ones, but her short stories can be published in magazines and make a good living.

In the past six months, she has earned more money from submitting articles than from her salary.

There will be televisions, there will be telephones, and there will be cars.

Will I also have my own house?

The thought of these possibilities fills her with motivation.

I should write something; I have so many days off, I can't waste them.

……

After Lin Yuyao dropped Ye Xiaotong off at home, she went to the bookstore on her way.

The bookstore hasn't closed for the holiday yet, but it'll be in the next couple of days, soon.

"Yuyao, you look so beautiful today, where have you been?" Zhou Jing asked with a smile.

"Let's go to the city center for a stroll and buy some things while we're there."

"What nice things did you buy? Hey, these earrings are pretty, did you buy them today?"

“Yes.” Lin Yuyao showed off her earrings.

"It's beautiful, how much does it cost?"

"Twenty yuan, they say it's a seawater pearl, and the hook is silver."

"It's not expensive. Where did you buy it? I'll buy one when I have time off."

"On the second floor of Wanxi Shopping Mall, it's the third store after you go up the escalator."

"Sure, I'll make a note of it. I'll go when I have a holiday."

We talked about earrings, then clothes, and gold chains.

They're showing off here and praising there.

Lin Yuyao recommended all the things she had bought, and Zhou Jing praised them enthusiastically, which she gladly accepted.

That's how friendships between women are formed, and both sides are very happy.

They chatted for a while, and after they finished, Lin Yuyao borrowed two books before leaving.

As soon as they stepped outside, they were surprised to see Song Qin and Chen Bingzhi, each pulling a large suitcase, standing opposite them.

Ok?

What happened?

Didn't we agree to go back to our own homes?

She had only been back for a short while when Song Qin and Chen Bing appeared in Chenshan Town.

"Sister Song." Lin Yuyao waved to them.

Song Qin looked over here and waved to Lin Yuyao.

Lin Yuyao carried two books and jogged over.

"Why are you here?"

He looked at the two boxes again and said, "Moving?"

Song Qin opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"Let's talk about it when we get up here."

Seeing that Song Qin looked like she had encountered some trouble, Lin Yuyao didn't ask any more questions.

They each carried a suitcase, while Lin Yuyao helped carry the bag.

The three of them entered Song Qin's house one after the other.

"Please have a seat, I'll go make some tea."

Song Qin turned around and went to boil water.

Lin Yuyao looked at Chen Bingzhi, asking him with her eyes what was going on.

Chen Bingzhi shrugged, looking as if he knew nothing, and didn't say a word.

The three people in the room remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

After Song Qin boiled the water, she made each of them a cup of malted coffee.

"It's nothing, I just had a fight with my family and left home."

Lin Yuyao was taken aback. "It's almost Chinese New Year..." She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then shall we celebrate Chinese New Year together?"

In the end, I didn't ask anything.

Song Qin smiled and said, "Okay, as long as your Mr. Fu doesn't mind."

"He's working overtime, so I reckon he'll only get one day off on Lunar New Year's Eve."

"Okay, then I'll come to your house to visit you in the next few days."

Chen Bingzhi raised his hand, "Can I join?"

Lin Yuyao looked surprised.

Song Qin said irritably, "You were kicked out of your family too?"

"No, but I'm not good with words and can't handle my elders. I'm just worried about where to hide."

Lin Yuyao said, "It's the Lunar New Year, so your family can't let you run around outside."

"So you need Mr. Lin's help. If they ask later, just say you're working overtime."

"No, I won't be that bad person."

"Sister Lin..."

"Calling me 'sister' won't help."

"Sister Lin..."

"Calling her 'little sister' is even less useful."

Chen Bingzhi: "..."

"Alright, fine, you're here to have fun. Tell your family you're going to visit friends, and they'll let you go.

He glanced at Song Qin and smiled, "That's true."

Song Qin glanced at the time and said, "Xiao Chen, it's getting late. You should go now; it's not safe to drive at night."

"Why are you leaving? I rented a place right next to yours. I'll sleep next door tonight."

"You... sigh! Whatever."

Lin Yuyao stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll head back now. See you tomorrow, Sister Song."

Song Qin smiled and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Every family has its own troubles. No wonder Song Qin showed up here with two suitcases. It turns out she had a fight with her family and moved out.

During the Lunar New Year, things must have gotten really ugly for them to move out of their homes.

After Lin Yuyao left, an eerie silence fell over the small apartment.

Song Qin finished her coffee and planned to make another one.

When he was about to buy the malted milk powder, Chen Bingzhi held his hand down.

"Stop drinking, it's so late, you'll have insomnia if you keep drinking."

Song Qin pushed his hand away and insisted on making another cup.

However, Chen Bingzhi still took the drink away from her.

"Sister Song, you can't drink anymore."

Song Qin sighed and said, "I'll have insomnia even if I don't drink, so it's the same whether I drink or not."

"Since they're all the same, then don't drink them."

Song Qin: "It's all ready. It would be a waste not to drink it. Give it to me."

Chen Bingzhi glanced at the coffee in his cup, then gulped it down in one go.

"I'll keep you company while you suffer from insomnia."
