Chapter 154: After All, We Are Friends

"A-Ci." Shen Yingying on the other end of the video saw Shen Ci's nervous face and explained with a smile: "Oh, it's okay. Your uncle was scalded by boiling brine a few days ago. There was a large patch of blisters on his leg, and he is still in the hospital. He just finished changing the medicine."

"Scalded by brine? How could he be so careless!" Shen Ci felt a shock upon hearing this. Scalds are the most painful, and changing medicine is very tormenting.

"Blame your uncle for being clumsy. It was also careless to knock it over. The place in the shop is small. Fortunately, I wasn't inside at the time, otherwise, I would definitely have been scalded too." Shen Yingying sighed and said: "I was scared at first. The skin on your uncle's calf was scalded off. Fortunately, the doctor said it was okay. It will slowly recover after scabbing. It doesn't matter if a big man leaves a scar, it's just that he has to change medicine twice a day."

Before Shen Ci could ask further, Shen Yingying mentioned why Shen Jingjing had been going out early recently: "It's not that your mother was afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle it alone while your uncle was in the hospital, so she came early to help me. She stayed in the shop alone when it wasn't busy at noon, and I came to the hospital to take care of your uncle."

Shen Ci heard this, and her worries were dispelled. It turns out the reason her mother went out early was here.

But thinking about it, Shen Ci couldn't help but nag: "Aunt, you must be more careful in the future. The shop is small and the operation space is cramped. I think it's better to listen to me. Don't do it by the end of the year. Wait until I pick you up to Longcheng next year and invest in a business for you."

Shen Yingying smiled and responded casually: "Aunt knows you are filial, but isn't our small business doing well? We earn a lot in a month, you don't have to worry."

"Isn't it hard? Getting up so early every day, and having to stay in the shop every day. Guangrong and Suisui are all grown up, and you and uncle should relax."

"Who doesn't have a hard life? Everything has to be hard. And your uncle and I are used to it, we don't feel it's very hard. We have been doing brine and roast meat for a lifetime, very handy. If you let us do other things, we will be clumsy and uncomfortable."

Shen Yingying said this from the heart. Her and her husband's cultural level is not high, and they raised two children entirely by this craft. If they were really asked to do other businesses, they would know they couldn't do it.

But Shen Ci didn't let go and just took a step back: "We will discuss this matter next year."

Shen Yingying smiled. No matter what, her niece's attitude made her feel warm in her heart.

"Oh, by the way, A-Ci, don't tell Ali and Xingxing about your uncle's injury. Ali will be anxious if she knows in the crew, and Xingxing is also focused on studying now, don't let him be distracted." Shen Yingying didn't forget to instruct Shen Ci.

Shen Ci nodded in understanding. After hanging up the phone, she transferred a sum of money to her aunt, not daring to transfer too much for fear that her aunt wouldn't accept it.

"Aunt, I can't help much in Longcheng. You buy something delicious for uncle. Scalds are very tormenting, comfort him."

Shen Yingying replied: "It doesn't matter if a big man suffers a bit, what is there to comfort."

Although she said so, Shen Yingying still accepted the transfer, otherwise it would be too distant. She knew it was Shen Ci's intention.

"Thank your niece for your uncle."

Shen Ci shook her head with a smile looking at the message.

At this moment, Gu Lianxing pushed the door and entered: "My dear, Qu Yang is looking for you downstairs. Don't you have WeChat?"

Shen Ci shook her head: "Never took the initiative to add."

She didn't take the initiative, and Qu Yang didn't take the initiative either.

Gu Lianxing was shocked, but after thinking about it, it seemed quite normal for anything to happen to Shen Ci.

She is a very special person, different from everyone else.

Shen Ci was wearing slippers and came downstairs to the dormitory building. She saw Qu Yang standing in the shade of a tree opposite and greeted him with a slight smile.

"Shao Yu said you have been very busy playing in the university league recently. Is it over?"

It had been a long time since she saw Qu Yang. He was busy with training and competitions, which was the reason. The two had no contact information, so there was no chance to chat.

Qu Yang looked at Shen Ci and shook his head: "Not yet, Sunday is the semi-finals."

As he spoke, he took out two tickets from his pocket: "If you have time, you and your roommate can come and see."

Shen Ci was stunned and reached out to take the two admission tickets hesitantly: "I don't understand basketball, and she doesn't either."

"It doesn't matter, come if you have time, don't force it," Qu Yang said.

When he spoke, his eyes were always looking at Shen Ci. His expression was very light, giving people a stable and steady feeling as before.

But even if he didn't show anything, Shen Ci keenly felt some fluctuations hidden under his emotions.

"Just watching a ball game?" Shen Ci looked at him and asked tentatively: "Are there no other things?"

Qu Yang was surprised at Shen Ci's keenness, but suddenly grinned: "There are other things, but I don't want to say it now."

It wasn't Shen Ci being sentimental. The first reaction that popped into her mind at this moment was "Could Qu Yang be wanting to confess to her after winning the game?"

However, the next second, Qu Yang seemed to be afraid that Shen Ci would have psychological burden and hurriedly explained: "But I invited you to watch the game and it has nothing to do with another thing. It's just that I want you to have a chance to watch one of my games. After all... we are friends!"

Friends.

This was the first time he had clearly defined the relationship between the two.

Shen Ci is not stupid. She can see that Qu Yang is "secretly in love" with her, and various details can be traced.

Because she knows that when there is a "heater" around you, you will definitely feel the temperature.

Because Qu Yang said this sentence in front of her, it can be seen how restrained and forbearing his liking for Shen Ci is.

Shen Ci couldn't help but be moved. She smiled and nodded, responding frankly: "Since a friend invited, I will definitely go."

"Okay, that's settled. Also, thank you for the shoes!"

"That was my thank-you gift to you, don't thank me."

Qu Yang returned to his implicit smile, then waved to Shen Ci and turned to walk away with big strides.

Shen Ci looked down at the basketball game admission tickets in her hand again and still felt like laughing. After all, she really didn't understand the rules of basketball at all.

Usually, when she crowds to the side of the basketball court and looks like she is watching with relish, she is actually looking at handsome guys.

The only knowledge point she knows about basketball is "basketball is round"!

However, what she cares more about in her heart is, what exactly does Qu Yang have to tell her, but doesn't want to say it now? ===== CHAPTER 155 =====

However, what she cared about more in her heart was: what exactly did Qu Yang have to tell her that he didn't want to say right now?
