What Bing Tianyi never expected was that Fang Qing, upon hearing his words, nodded and said, "I truly believe what you say, especially the way you look when you speak. Don't say you're twenty-four; even if you claimed to be thirty, I would believe you."
Seeing Fang Qing say this, Bing Tianyi almost spat blood. He smiled wryly at her and after a few seconds, helplessly asked, "Do I really look that old?"
"Pretty much," Fang Qing replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Bing Tianyi noticed Fang Qing's mood had once again dropped. He stepped closer and asked, "Sister, what happened today? You seem really unhappy."
As soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking, tears fell from Fang Qing's eyes again. She lowered her head and remained silent. After a few seconds, she began to sob.
Seeing this situation, Bing Tianyi felt somewhat helpless; after all, he had never really comforted a girl before. In desperation, he got up and moved beside Fang Qing, quickly saying, "Qing Jie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that."
Fang Qing lifted her head and took a tissue from the table to wipe her tears. She softly said to Bing Tianyi, "Brother, my heart really hurts. You know I've been with him since I was sixteen. To be with him, I even cut ties with my parents. But now, he actually wants a divorce."
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi murmured, "Then you should go to the hospital for a check-up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Qing looked at him sadly and sighed, "I know what my situation is. When I was young and naive, I had four children for him but ended up unable to have any more. Back then he said it was okay; we could adopt later. But now that he has money, he found another woman outside. When I spoke to him on the phone today, he said she would give birth in three months."
At this revelation, Bing Tianyi became angry, thinking that such heartless men really existed in the world. Without much thought, he stood up and cursed, "Isn't that just despicable?"
"What am I supposed to do now? I don't even want to live anymore," Fang Qing said despairingly as she gazed out the window.
At that moment, Bing Tianyi quickly replied, "Qing Jie, please don't think like that. I can't do any fortune-telling right now, but if you wait until after midnight, I can help you see if you'll be able to have children in the future."
Seeing Bing Tianyi say this made Fang Qing's face fill with disappointment as she quietly replied, "Forget it. I know what my body is like. It's basically impossible for me to have my own children in this lifetime."
"Even if you can't have your own children, you shouldn't think about ending your life! You can still have your own life!"
"A woman who can't have children, is there still someone who wants me?" Fang Qing asked Bing Tianyi, filled with despair.
"Even if no one wants you, I can take care of you," Bing Tianyi replied unexpectedly after Fang Qing finished speaking, looking at her.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing was unsure whether she was shocked or touched. She looked at Bing Tianyi with a rich expression, unable to speak for a long time.
At the same time, Bing Tianyi felt that he might have gone too far with his words. After all, she was going through such a situation, and saying something like that would surely make her overthink.
However, Fang Qing soon whispered to Bing Tianyi, "Brother, thank you. You should grow up quickly; you're still young."
Bing Tianyi sat down again, pondered for a moment, and then said to Fang Qing, "Sister Qing, I actually know you are a good person. If he is divorcing you now, it just proves he is blind. Don't lose hope; I believe you will meet a better man than him in the future."
"But I..."
Before Fang Qing could finish her sentence, Bing Tianyi interrupted, "No 'buts.' You just need to believe in yourself. First of all, you are beautiful; secondly, you have a kind heart. That's more than enough."
As Fang Qing listened to Bing Tianyi's incessant chatter, the despair in her eyes gradually faded away. However, what followed was surprisingly a sense of hatred.
After a long while, Fang Qing unknowingly revealed a radiant smile on her face and said to Bing Tianyi, "You're right; I still have my own life. Thank you."
Seeing Fang Qing get up and walk aside, Bing Tianyi curiously asked, "Sister Qing, where are you going?"
"I'm going to celebrate."
"Celebrate what?" Bing Tianyi asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Celebrate that starting today, I'm going back to being single," Fang Qing said as she surprisingly took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet in the nearby room.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi began to feel anxious. He knew that Fang Qing was in a complicated mood, and if she drank too much, she might do something foolish.
Thinking of this, Bing Tianyi looked at Fang Qing and quickly said, "Sister Qing, you've already had so much to drink during the day; you shouldn't drink anymore tonight, right?"
"My alcohol tolerance is quite good; I won't get drunk from this little bit," Fang Qing replied as she opened a bottle of red wine.
Bing Tianyi felt helpless and could only change the subject, asking Fang Qing, "Sister Qing, I guess you haven't eaten yet?"
"Not yet, but it's okay; I'm not hungry right now," Fang Qing smiled.
"Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your health. Do you have any vegetables at home? If not, I can help you cook something," Bing Tianyi asked.
"You can cook?" Fang Qing asked curiously.
Fang Qing thought that among kids like Bing Tianyi, very few could actually cook. However, he was an exception; his family was in the restaurant business, and he was a true foodie with some knowledge about food.
After Fang Qing finished speaking, Bing Tianyi stood up and smiled, "Of course."
Fang Qing actually felt a bit empty in her stomach now. With her mood slightly shifting, she pointed to the refrigerator and said to Bing Tianyi with a smile, "There are some vegetables in there; just make whatever you want."
Bing Tianyi nodded and opened the refrigerator to grab the vegetables before heading into the kitchen. Washing, cutting, and cooking the vegetables took him half an hour in total.
Looking at the table, there were surprisingly two cold dishes and three hot dishes arranged neatly. The enticing aroma made Fang Qing, who usually considered herself a decent cook, feel inferior.
"I didn't expect you to be quite skilled," Fang Qing praised Bing Tianyi's cooking while already picking up her chopsticks to start eating.
Bing Tianyi smiled and took a few bites before sharing some silly stories from when he had cooked before.
The atmosphere in the room quickly became lively, and before long, it was past midnight. Bing Tianyi noticed the late hour and stood up with a smile, saying, "Sister Qing, it's getting late. I should head home."
Fang Qing, hearing this, immediately replied with a laugh, "It's so late; your parents are probably already asleep. My house has three bedrooms—surely there's a place for you to rest?"
Seeing Fang Qing say this, Bing Tianyi awkwardly smiled and said, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"It's fine. Anyway, I'm already prepared to divorce him, so I don't care what others say. Besides, as long as I don't sleep in your bed, it should be okay," Fang Qing said with a cute smile directed at Bing Tianyi.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi felt too lazy to walk all the way home. He then told Fang Qing directly, "Alright then, but you have to wake me up at six-thirty tomorrow morning."
"Why do you need to get up so early?" Fang Qing asked curiously.
"I need to go home and help my parents move some things over," Bing Tianyi replied with a smile.
Fang Qing nodded in agreement. Bing Tianyi then went to the bathroom for a quick shower before heading to the room designated by Fang Qing, undressing and preparing to rest.
However, once he entered the room and lay down on the bed, Bing Tianyi found himself closing his eyes and thinking of Fang Qing's figure. Unconsciously, he reached his right hand under the covers.
Just as Bing Tianyi was lost in thought, the door suddenly swung open. He was startled and his right hand moved instinctively under the covers. Looking up, he saw Fang Qing standing there in thin pajamas, her figure clearly visible.
"Sister Qing, what... what are you doing here?" Bing Tianyi asked curiously. But as he spoke, he noticed that Fang Qing's face was streaked with tears, her silver teeth biting down on her lip as if she might draw blood at any moment.
Hearing Bing Tianyi speak, Fang Qing did not respond. Instead, she closed the bedroom door behind her and walked over to the side of Bing Tianyi's bed. Without much thought, she unfastened the straps of her outfit.
As the straps fell away, her loose clothing slipped off her smooth white skin in an instant.
The sight of her incredibly tempting body caused Bing Tianyi to lose control completely.
He awkwardly pulled up his pants, lifted the blanket, and hurriedly picked up the nightgown from the floor to put it on Fang Qing. Seeing this situation, Fang Qing sobbed and asked Bing Tianyi, "Do you dislike me because I'm hard to deal with?"
Due to her excessive anger, Fang Qing had clearly lost her rationality at this moment. In order to retaliate against her man, she no longer cared about any sense of propriety and only wanted a man to take control of her body.
However, if Fang Qing were to randomly find a man on the street right now, even within the entire county, she probably wouldn't be able to find another character like Bing Tianyi.
Of course, this wasn't because Bing Tianyi lacked the ability in that regard; although he also wanted to pounce on her now, he could only silently shed tears deep inside due to his broken heart.
"Qing Jie, it's not like that. I don't dislike you," Bing Tianyi said, his voice trembling as he looked directly at Fang Qing.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing grabbed both of Bing Tianyi's hands holding the nightgown and asked heartbreakingly, "Then what is it? Why don't you want me?"
Bing Tianyi's mind was racing. He didn't reveal the reason why he couldn't approach women recently but instead told Fang Qing directly, "I can't take advantage of you."
Fang Qing's arms slowly lost strength as Bing Tianyi gently draped the nightgown over her with his trembling hands and then quietly asked, "What exactly happened, Qing Jie?"
At this moment, Fang Qing's emotions were still unstable. After Bing Tianyi finished asking, without thinking much, she took off the nightgown again, threw back the blanket, and tightly embraced Bing Tianyi.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi wished he could immerse himself in ice water; his hot body made it difficult for him to control himself at that moment.
Meanwhile, after hugging Bing Tianyi, Fang Qing rested her head on his chest and cried out loud. All the heartache she had been holding back completely erupted at that instant.
