Chapter 408 The Boy Who Pursued Relentlessly

When the lights in the small square went out, the middle-aged women who had organized the dance packed up their speakers and went home.

Zhang Haiyan, somewhat reluctant to leave, pulled Yunya and the four young men away to say goodbye. One of the tall, thin boys asked for Zhang Haiyan's contact information.

Zhang Haiyan waved her hand without giving him her contact information, making an excuse that she had something urgent to attend to, and hurriedly ran away with Yunya.

The tall, thin boy watched their retreating figures, and called out somewhat unwillingly, "I'm not a bad person, I just want to be friends with you!"

The two who had run far away glanced back at the tall, thin boy, waved, and turned to continue their journey home.

On the way home, Yunya sighed and said, "Oh! If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred not to cut my braid! People actually mistook me for a man."

Zhang Haiyan smiled and comforted Yunya, saying, "They have no taste. In my opinion, you look quite handsome with your hair short!"

Yunya felt better and her mood improved considerably. Just then, Zhang Haiyan spoke up again, "However, you look younger and younger with your haircut."

Hearing this, Yun Ya truly regretted it. She decided she would never cut her hair short again, otherwise, looking so young would make it even harder for anyone to introduce her to potential partners.

The two had a lot in common and chatted and laughed all the way, making the journey seem much shorter. They arrived at the gate in no time.

Yunya said goodbye to Zhang Haiyan and rode her bicycle home to sleep. There was no one left on the road, and Yunya felt a little flustered, pedaling her bicycle rapidly.

It's really not safe to go out at night when it's cold; it's a bit dangerous. Unlike in summer, when there are people out everywhere enjoying the cool air.

Yunya returned home, parked her bicycle, quickly washed up, and went to her room to rest.

At night, Yunya dreamed that she had turned into a boy, and her mother and father loved her very much.

Furthermore, there was no younger brother in the family, only his older sister and him. It turns out that once a boy was born, the parents wouldn't have a third child.

But Yunya was also reluctant. He was a boy and he would never see his younger brother again. He didn't want that, he didn't want his brother to disappear.

In her dream, Yunya watched Sun Guoqiang walk further and further away, wanting to grab his hand and keep him there, but she couldn't reach him. No matter how she tried, she couldn't hook onto her brother's clothes.

Yunya shouted, "Little brother, little brother, come back quickly..."

Yunya suddenly woke up from her dream, and when she realized that she had been dreaming about her younger brother, she felt relieved.

Looking at her alarm clock, Yunya realized it was already 5 a.m. She quickly got up, dressed, and went downstairs to help sell breakfast.

When it was time for work, Yunya ate a few steamed buns and rode her bicycle to work.

Kong Xiujuan has already said that she will quit after these few days and will not sell breakfast again until next year.

She and her sister Kong Xiuzhen split the profits equally, but they didn't actually earn much money, and they were always busy.

Yunya knew that her mother was planning to stop selling breakfast, and she was secretly happy. Finally, she could take a break.

The breakfast stall operated until the 20th of the twelfth lunar month before finally closing down. During this time, Sun Guoqiang, who was studying at a university in another city, also returned home for the holidays.

Ren Mohan finally met her real "brother-in-law" and tried very hard to please him.

He gave Sun Guoqiang the shopping card issued by his workplace and told him to go to a designated shopping mall to buy an outfit.

After accepting the shopping card, Sun Guoqiang carefully examined Ren Mohan for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, are you trying to curry favor with me because you need my help with something?"

Ren Mohan shook her head and denied it, saying, "No, I just wanted to give you a new outfit, but I didn't know your size. Now that I have the shopping card, you can try it on in person."

Sun Guoqiang thanked him repeatedly, and was much more satisfied with his brother-in-law.

Days passed by, and soon it was Lunar New Year's Eve.

This year is Sun Limei's last New Year at home, so Kong Xiujuan was generous and prepared a lot of meat and vegetables to reward her eldest daughter.

The family sat around the steaming dinner table, the warm yellow light illuminating everyone's faces.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Kong Xiujuan smiled with satisfaction. "May everyone eat and drink well, and may the new year bring you all good fortune."

Sun Guoqiang was the first to pick up his chopsticks, putting a piece of braised pork into his mouth and praising, "Mom, your cooking is getting better and better." Yun Ya echoed his sentiment, and the family enjoyed a harmonious time together.

During the New Year, Yunya only worked half a day. She would go to work in the morning and come back in the afternoon. Then she would call her sister-in-law Zhang Haiyan and Xia Mili to go to the internet cafe to play games.

Yun Ya arrived at Zhang Haiyan's house, called her over, and then called Xia Mili. The three of them skipped and hopped towards the internet cafe.

Once at the internet cafe, they skillfully turned on the computers and started playing their favorite games or chatting on QQ.

Yunya was chatting enthusiastically when she suddenly heard someone next to her shout, "Hey, isn't this the short-haired guy?"

Yun Ya turned her head and saw that it was the tall, thin boy she had met in the square earlier. When the tall, thin boy saw Zhang Haiyan, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, to run into you here."

Zhang Haiyan frowned, somewhat displeased, and said irritably, "Unfortunately, I don't want to see you."

The tall, thin boy wasn't angry. He still smiled and said, "Don't be so cold. I just want to be friends with you."

Zhang Haiyan ignored him and continued to focus on the chat history in front of her. Yun Ya and Xia Mili watched from the side, also feeling annoyed for Zhang Haiyan.

Just as the tall, thin boy was about to argue further, the internet cafe owner walked over and said sternly, "If you want to use the internet, then use it properly and don't disturb others."

The tall, thin boy reluctantly returned to his seat. Zhang Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to enjoy her online time with her friends.

The three of them didn't take the matter to heart and continued playing their computer games.

Yunya had been in contact with her online friend [Love Song 1990] (Chi Dongqing) for over a year, and the two had become increasingly familiar with each other.

But this was only what Yun Ya perceived as familiar; in Chi Dongqing's eyes, it meant: the fish had finally taken the bait.

Whenever the two met, they always had endless things to talk about. Chi Dongqing was very good at talking; he could always make the girls feel happy, blush, and have their hearts race...

Yunya was a young girl with little experience, so naturally she couldn't escape the tempting clutches of the "big bad wolf".

Yunya had gotten into the habit of searching for Chi Dongqing as soon as she logged on. If she couldn't see him, she would feel empty inside. She felt that coming online had lost its meaning.

Chi Dongqing also invited Yun Ya to meet him in person, inviting her to dinner and karaoke. Yun Ya refused them all; she didn't want to take advantage of others, and she didn't want people to think of her as a "gold digger" or a "liar."

Just as the three girls were having a great time, their time to use the computer came to an end.

The three of them didn't renew their contract, stood up, and walked out of the internet cafe hand in hand. The tall, thin boy watched them leave, quickly grabbed his flip phone, and chased after them.
