Chapter 113

Xue Qin's bed was placed in a corner, and the wall by the bed was covered with beautiful star posters, like the Little Tigers and the Four Heavenly Kings. Although it was a bit tacky, it added a lot of life to the room and covered up the mottled marks on the wall.

Although the bed was a wooden bed that looked quite old, the bed sheet Xue Qin spread was pink, and the colors of her pillow and quilt were in the same color scheme. Beside her pillow was a toy bear. Such colors made one feel very warm at first glance.

Beside the bed was a table, the kind of ordinary three-drawer, two-cabinet table, which was also very old, and a lot of the paint on it had peeled off. However, Xue Qin put a thick piece of glass on the tabletop, and under the thick glass, she also pressed a star poster. On the table, she also placed some girls' accessories and a pot of narcissus, which immediately added a lot of vitality to the whole room.

The floor of the room was an ordinary cement floor, and there were some uneven places, but it was cleaned very cleanly by Xue Qin, and the window glass was also wiped spotless, which made people feel comfortable looking at it.

Xue Qin sat on her bed and let Su Xinghui sit on a chair in front of the table.

Su Xinghui smiled: "Girls are girls, you've made such a room so beautiful."

Xue Qin said: "I spent the whole day tidying up today, is it okay?"

Su Xinghui looked around the room again and nodded: "It's more than okay, it's simply too good, much better than my place."

Xue Qin said: "Don't say that. It's not like I haven't been to your place. Your room is also tidied up well and is quite clean, which surprised me. It's just that your dormitory is for two people, which is a bit inconvenient. The person who shares the room with you isn't as hygienic as you."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but laugh. Wan Xing'an was from the countryside, and he was indeed not very particular about hygiene habits, but it couldn't be said that he wasn't hygienic.

Su Xinghui asked: "Do you regret coming to Menghuling?"

Xue Qin tilted her head and said: "Why should I regret it?"

Su Xinghui said: "No matter what, the living environment here can't compare to your home, right? In that courtyard of yours, it's all grass, and at night, with just you two girls living here, aren't you scared?"

The smile on Xue Qin's face disappeared: "How should I put it? The environment here certainly can't compare to my home. To be honest, living here at night, I am scared. I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight, but I really don't regret it."

Su Xinghui looked at Xue Qin. He actually knew what Xue Qin was thinking, and he laughed: "Alright, you'll adapt slowly. I didn't adapt well in the first few days when I came here, and I couldn't sleep at night either. But after a few nights, I slept soundly, and even thunder wouldn't wake me up when I was asleep."

Xue Qin smiled and asked: "Is the colleague you ate with today very close to you?"

Su Xinghui shook his head. Xue Qin asked: "Then why did you eat alone with him?"

Su Xinghui sighed and said: "Sigh, it's a long story. This person is just a petty person. Today he insisted on inviting me to dinner. I originally wanted you to come to the township government to find me for dinner in the afternoon to help me out, but who knew you didn't go in the afternoon."

Xue Qin heard this and giggled: "You're silly, why didn't you call me? If you had called me, I would have gone to invite you to dinner."

Su Xinghui said: "I thought about calling you, but I thought it wouldn't look good if I called you on your first day at work."

Xue Qin said: "It's fine, call me anytime if you have anything in the future."

Su Xinghui laughed: "Fortunately, I ran into you guys at the restaurant, which saved me from having a disgusting meal alone with that petty person."

Xue Qin smiled: "Does that mean we have fate? We can run into each other just by having a meal."

Speaking of this, Xue Qin's face turned red, and she lowered her head slightly.

Su Xinghui couldn't respond to this, so he could only pretend not to hear it and coughed twice.

Xue Qin said: "Is your throat uncomfortable? I'll pour you a glass of water."

Xue Qin poured a glass of water for Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui said "Thank you" and took a sip.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, Su Xinghui said: "Xue Qin, don't sleep too deeply at night, lock the door, and listen to the movements outside. It's still a bit worrying for you two girls to live here."

Xue Qin said: "Are you worried about me?"

Su Xinghui said: "How can I not be worried? You are a young girl after all, and you are so beautiful. What if someone has designs on you?"

Xue Qin asked: "Do you think I'm beautiful?"

Su Xinghui felt that he had fallen into a trap again, but he could only nod and say: "Beautiful!"

Xue Qin asked: "Compared to Lu Xiaoya and Xia Zhu?"

Su Xinghui felt his head was as big as a bucket. He thought for a moment and could only bite the bullet and say: "You are all very beautiful!"

Seeing Su Xinghui's expression, Xue Qin covered her mouth and laughed: "Forget it, I won't tease you. By the way, when are you going to the village? I want you to take me to run through every village."

Su Xinghui asked: "Didn't Director Wang say he would take you to the village?"

Xue Qin said: "He did say he would take me to the village when he had time, but he is old after all, and it's almost the New Year, so there are many things at home. I don't want to trouble him, so I want you to take me. Didn't you say you are very familiar with the village cadres?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "That's true, I'm very familiar with the cadres in every village. Alright, I'll invite you to go with me when I have time to go to the village."

Xue Qin said happily: "Alright, you must invite me then."

Su Xinghui took another sip of water, stood up, and said: "Xue Qin, you're tired today too, rest early, I'll go back first."

Xue Qin was somewhat reluctant, but she didn't know how to keep Su Xinghui, so she could only stand up and say: "Alright, come and play often when you have time."

Su Xinghui nodded and agreed. He left the tax station, asked Xue Qin to lock the door, and then went to the police station opposite.

Seeing him come, Lei Ming smiled and said: "Why are you here so late?"

Su Xinghui pointed to the tax station opposite and said: "Brother Lei, a classmate of mine, Xue Qin, has been transferred to the township tax station. The two girls live here, and I'm afraid they won't be safe at night, so I came to find you, Brother Lei. I want to ask you to look after them."

Lei Ming laughed heartily: "Even if you didn't say it, I would look after them. Previously, only one girl lived in the tax station, and we would pay attention to the movements there at night. Now that your classmate is here, there's even more reason to."
