Chapter 96: The world of adults is simple and crude.

Yes, she had someone she liked, and that person was standing in front of her right now, smiling at her because she was also smiling. Plea se re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

The moment that that smile bloomed, Tang Han Qiu suddenly felt relieved.

There was an inevitable feeling of distance between Yu Ru Bing and this world, but when she smiled at her, when she was by her side, her existence was real, as if she originally belonged to this world.

As if she would stay here forever, and stay by her side.

Yu Ru Bing reached out to her and said with a smile: “Qiu Qiu hold on to me, so you don’t get lost in the crowd later.”

Tang Han Qiu raised her head and looked at the splendid sky filled with fireworks, there was a pop in her ear and the sound of fireworks ascended into the sky, the bright light reflected her face even more magnificently, making her eyes astonishingly bright.

She slowly retracted her gaze, looked at the hand in front of her, and lifted the corners of her lips, then she gently held it: “En, I’ll hold on tight.”

She took the initiative to take a step forward to stand next to her, then raised her face just like her, and looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky that dyed the dark curtain of the night as bright as the day.

In addition to the sound of the fireworks launching into the sky, there were also the exclamations from the crowd, one after another, making the occasion very lively.

But at this moment, Tang Han Qiu could only hear her own heartbeat.

She liked Yu Ru Bing.

It did not start from this moment, but she had discovered it in this moment.

She didn’t know when she started to have feelings towards Yu Ru Bing, and she didn’t know exactly when Yu Ru Bing came into her heart, she could only be sure that— she really liked Yu Ru Bing.

She liked her to the point that she didn’t dare to easily speak of it.

Because she was not sure whether Yu Ru Bing liked men or women, or both.

She couldn’t just because she liked her, narcissistically think that the other person would also like herself too, even more so, she didn’t have the courage to ask: “Will you be able to like me?”

She was afraid, she was afraid that Yu Ru Bing would not, she was afraid that Yu Ru Bing wouldn’t be touched by these thoughts, and she was afraid that it would cause Yu Ru Bing’s disgust.

Even if Yu Ru Bing had previously made assumptions with her of what would happen if she liked women, but that’s just a notion, and it couldn’t be completely equated as reality, right?

Without being 100% certain, she did not dare take that step.

Because such a thing as liking someone, was really good at depriving people of their courage. So she could wait, wait for Yu Ru Bing’s notion to come true, wait for Yu Ru Bing to really like women…

Tang Han Qiu unconsciously squeezed the hand that was in the palm of her hand, and gently caressed her fingertips with her fingers.

Her palm was warm, but her fingertips felt cold.

Tang Han Qiu frowned slightly and made a move.

Yu Ru Bing looked at her hand that was placed inside the pocket of Tang Han Qiu’s clothes, and was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and asked her: “What’s the matter?”

Tang Han Qiu calmly unfolded her frowning eyebrows, and suppressing her thoughts, lightly said: “Your fingers are too cold, aren’t you afraid of the cold, I will warm you up.”

Yu Ru Bing blinked, she really liked this behavior of Tang Han Qiu’s, then she raised another lone hand, and smiled: “Your Majesty, can the rain and dew be evenly spread¹? My other hand is also very cold.”

Tang Han Qiu without hesitation: “Come.”

Yu Ru Bing immediately beamed with joy, then went around behind her, wrapped her arms around her waist and inserted her hand into her pocket, her whole body clung close to her back, and she rested her head on her shoulders, then whispered in her ears: “Thank you Qiu Qiu, it’s much warmer now.”

Tang Han Qiu chuckled softly with a look of tenderness appearing in between her eyebrows: “En.”

Yu Ru Bing tilted her head, looked at her amazingly exquisite side profile, then looked at the gorgeous fireworks that bloomed one after another, and smiled slightly.

She really liked Tang Han Qiu.

The two people maintained this position of cuddling with each other, watching the fireworks affectionately and ambiguously, with no one daring to bother them.

— Too sweet

— I suspect that this set up is for real!

— What kind of socialist sisterhood is this oh oh oh it’s so beautiful

After Yu Ru Bing had been leaning on Tang Han Qiu for ten minutes, she moved her head and asked, “Are your shoulders numb?”

The real President Tang’s legs would become numb after sitting for a long time, so her shoulders must be the same.

She was a delicate darling daughter, her skin wasn’t made of steel that it could bear all her weight.

Tang Han Qiu said plainly: “It’s fine.”

But Yu Ru Bing didn’t lean on her shoulder anymore, only held her waist to watch the fireworks.

If Qiu Qiu becomes broken, then she would no longer have anyone to rely on.

……

The fireworks display ended at 8:30, and in order not to cause a scene Yu Ru Bing and Tang Han Qiu left fifteen minutes earlier.

Back in their warm hotel room, Yu Ru Bing was shivering all over, her face looking stiff.

She felt that her face was about to freeze and crack, so she took off her coat, picked up the comfortable rabbit pajamas, and said to Tang Han Qiu: “Then I will take a bath first.”

Tang Han Qiu sitting calmly on the chair, nodded, then she walked into the bathroom shivering, and soon the sound of water could be heard.

Tang Han Qiu sat outside, and picked up her mobile phone, countless thought running though her mind, then finally she opened WeChat and found the message thread she had with Tang Mo Yuan.

[Tang Han Qiu]: Brother

Tang Mo Yuan responded quickly, obviously not busy.

[Brother]: What’s wrong? Did something happen in the shooting?

Tang Han Qiu looked at the words on the screen and suddenly smiled, isn’t it that something did happen in the shooting?

[Tang Han Qiu]: Something really happened

When Tang Mo Yuan read that something really did happen, he replied back in almost a second

[Brother]: What’s wrong, don’t panic, tell brother, brother will help you deal with it, speak slowly, don’t worry, rest assured, brother will stand by your side no matter what happens

In Tang Mo Yuan’s heart, Tang Han Qiu has always been a very dear and well-behaved sister, she used to be very clear-headed as long as it was unrelated to Qiu Yun Li, but now that she had left Qiu Yun Li, she was 100% sensible.

She had the ability to think on her own, judge on her own, and clearly knew right from wrong, she wouldn’t do anything ridiculous, saving her family from worry.

So he believed that no matter what happened, it would definitely not be his sister’s fault, or something that she found difficult to discuss.

Tang Han Qiu could tell from his words that he had misunderstood something, it made her feel warm and a bit lovably silly, but she was afraid that he would send someone to fly over that night to “uphold justice” for her, so she hurriedly responded.

[Tang Han Qiu]: I have someone I like

There was a minute of silence on the other side, and then he replied.

[Brother]: Yu Ru Bing?

[Tang Han Qiu]: Yes

[Brother]: It’s okay, brother is already mentally prepared

[Tang Han Qiu]: ?

[Brother]: Male intuition

Tang Han Qiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Since when did this strict science and engineering man stop talking logically and emphasize on intuition? Plea se re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

Tang Mo Yuan asked about Yu Ru Bing’s situation, and inquired if she also thought about her in that respect, Tang Han Qiu said that she didn’t know, and that she could only guarantee that no one could replace her place in her heart.

After all, in this world, she was the person she relied on that thoroughly knew about her.

[Tang Han Qiu]: I don’t want to tell her about this for the time being, I want to take it easy, and when the time comes, when it’s suitable to confess I will speak about it again

[Brother]: En, okay, take your time, your brother has experience about having a secret crush, you can ask brother

It’s not that he was boasting, but for more than ten years he had been firmly secretly in love with Jiang Ying Yao, so this kind of disposition was not something ordinary people possessed.

How to not be discovered by the other party that he had a crush on them, he was very experienced, because who made him naive and frivolous in junior high school, and say to his future wife without shame: “I will never like you.”

So in order not to be slapped in the face by his wife, he held back, up until now, though both of them looked seemingly like a loving couple, they were actually ruthlessly living apart.

Tang Han Qiu smiled and replied with an okay, and then received a message from her sister-in-law Jiang Ying Yao, it was only one sentence, the line was full of hatred for iron not becoming steel³.

3. 恨铁不成钢: lit. to hate iron for not becoming steel; to feel resentful towards sb for failing to meet expectations and impatient to see improvement

[Sister-in-law]: Your brother is so dumb, really

[Tang Han Qiu]: What’s wrong?

[Sister-in-law]: He is very smart at work, but how can he be so stupid with respect to his wife?

[Sister-in-law]: I pretended to be drunk and gave him an opportunity, but he didn’t take it! Tell me is he stupid, is he stupid!

[Sister-in-law]: Does this idiot dislike me? Otherwise, why is he so indifferent?

Tang Han Qiu’s beautiful eyes slightly widened, she didn’t expect for Jiang Ying Yao to have fallen in love with Tang Mo Yuan.

Once they talked about it, she believed that they didn’t need to keep their marriage a secret anymore, and the world would quickly know that Jiang Ying Yao was the daughter-in-law of the Tang family.

But Tang Mo Yuan’s whole intention was that unless Jiang Ying Yao liked him, he would never embarrass her by showing his inclination. However, in the current situation, Tang Mo Yuan was obviously rather a bit slow.

He was proficient in secretly loving someone, but it seems that all he was proficient in was having a secret love?

Tang Han Qiu without even thinking, directly sold her brother. After Jiang Ying Yao understood everything, she was suddenly enlightened, and told Tang Han Qiu not to tell Tang Mo Yuan that she knew.

[Sister-in-law]: I want him to say it himself

Tang Han Qiu thought: This is probably the relationship between husband and wife.

Then Jiang Ying Yao sent her two very serious sentence.

[Sister-in-law]: Don’t follow your brother’s foolishness, if the person you like shows kindness to you and wants to be affectionate with you, you should boldly do it, don’t be polite to each other. Even if the other party is not thinking about it now, if you become more intimate, I don’t believe that it won’t eventually be!

[Sister-in-law]: The adult world is simple and crude. If you learn from that idiot’s words, and wait for the dish to get cold, you’ll make me furious!

Apparently Tang Mo Yuan’s inattentiveness made her very angry.

Tang Han Qiu laughed and expressed that she had received her words and that she would listen well, then she logged out of WeChat and casually went to surf on Weibo.

Thinking of Yu Ru Bing’s hot search physique, she opened the hot search first, but she never expected that there would really be a hot search that was related to Yu Ru Bing, and the title of the topic was: #Yu Ru Bing unfilial#

Clicking it, a confidential recording of an interview came up, two people claiming to be Yu Ru Bing’s parents were being interviewed, and the content of the interview were tearful complaints accusing Yu Ru Bing of being ungrateful, that after becoming popular, she forgot the kindness of her parents, recounting as they shed tears and wept blood, easily inflaming people’s hearts.

As expected, in the comment area a fan black battle was launched.

Some students from the same school that came to speak for Yu Ru Bing were all beaten as Yu Ru Bing’s fans, and the both sides tore each other apart.

It was a battle without smoke, a meaningless fight.

Because of Yu Ru Bing’s current popularity, there had been a lot of attention on her, so this hot search had undoubtedly rushed to a very noticeable place.

Half an hour passed, and Guangying, the current company of First Dream Girl, haven’t given any statement.

Since she was recording a program, it was inconvenient for Tang Han Qiu to call Han Wei in front of the camera, so she took her phone and went outside.

Han Wei quickly answered the phone, saying that she had immediately talked to Guangying about Yu Ru Bing’s parents, and Guangying also promised to make an announcement within 20 minutes to minimize the damage to their artist’s reputation.

Tang Han Qiu turned over her watch to take a look, it had already been more than 30 minutes since the incident, so she asked in a cold voice, “Twenty minutes? Do the people in Guangying have their own Guangying time?”

With their speed, let alone minimize the damage to their artist’s reputation, it’s already not bad for their artist to not be scolded to death.

Tang Han Qiu’s face was gloomy: “Let Long You deal with it, don’t wait for Guangying. After all, Yu Ru Bing is still from Hua Yao, we only lent her to Guangying for two years.”

Yu Ru Bing entered Guangying with a clean reputation, so of course Guangying would return her cleanly to Hua Yao, including Tan Xi and Chi Nuan.

Han Wei said while swiping on the computer screen, “Department Head Long has already started the process to post something on Weibo, please rest assured.”

Tang Han Qiu hung up the phone and opened Hua Yao’s official microblog to check it out, and a new post was sent on Weibo two minutes ago.
