As everyone was chatting, someone rang the doorbell and Jingjingâs mother stood up.
âThe rice delivery is here.â She had just bought some rice at the store downstairs, so it was probably the delivery.
Jingjingâs mother opened the door, and a tall, thin young man carrying a 50kg bag of rice asked cheerfully.
âWhere should I put this?â
âQiuqiu?â Xiao Qian recognized him at once. Wasnât this her bunkmate?
Xiao Qianâs fourth roommate was Qiuqiu.
With gender identity disorder, a womanâs body and a manâs heart, he believed himself to be a man.
He usually didnât live in the dormitory and rented a place outside. Qiuqiu was cheerful and very outgoing and had a good relationship with the girls in the dead and silent dormitory.
âBoss Qian?â Qiuqiu saw Xiao Qian and spread his arms in surprise, wanting a reunion hug.
Yu Minglang greeted him with a brilliant, insincere smile, blocking Xiao Qian. Qiuqiu braked urgently, almost hugging a man. Yuck!
âWho are you?â
âIâm Xiao Qianâs fiance, Yu Minglang.â
âOh, youâre the legendary Boss Qianâs man. Nice to meet you.â Qiuqiu was very enthusiastic, and Yu Minglang was very indifferent.
This strange haired kid, where did he come from, and dare to be so close to Xiao Mei!
Qiuqiu reached out, wanting to shake hands with Yu Minglang, and Yu Minglang seized the opportunity to grip his hand firmly!
Even though Qiuqiu had good physical strength, he couldnât stand Xiao Qiangâs iron grip. It hurt so much that he broke into a sweat, but Qiuqiu didnât want to lose face, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Xiao Qian couldnât bear it any longer, seeing Yu Minglang trying to crush Qiuqiuâs hand from the side.
âAlright, thereâs no need to be so enthusiastic.â Xiao Qian stepped forward and separated Yu Minglangâs hand.
Qiuqiu shook his hand urgently, letting out a dry laugh.
âBoss Qian, is your man a steelworker at a construction site? That grip is strong.â
âHeheâ¦â Xiao Qian laughed awkwardly.
The king of jealousy was just like this, she couldnât control him either.
âQian Bao, arenât you going to introduce me?â Yu Minglang said with an ominously cheerful smile, flashing his teeth.
âThis is my classmate Qiuqiu.â In front of outsiders, Xiao Qian couldnât reveal Qiuqiuâs true situation, so she could only let the jealous king grumble inwardly.
âAh, so youâre Dr. Chenâs classmate. Youâre a hard worker, we sometimes see you delivering goods in the City market. Oh, right, Jingjing can even chat with him.â
Jingjingâs mother had a good impression of Qiuqiu. Ever since Jingjingâs incident, she had an instinctive aversion to men and hardly dared to go out, fearing them.
Her mother would take her out for walks in the residential compound when there were fewer people around. One time, they bumped into Qiuqiu delivering goods to someone and almost knocked into Jingjing. Surprisingly, Jingjing wasnât scared and even spoke to him for a while.
âQiuqiu, why are you delivering rice?â Xiao Qian hadnât been able to get in touch with him since she went on vacation.
âOh, Iâm working part-time. I have three jobs now, and Iâm also a bartender at night.â Qiuqiu wanted to save up a lot of money, so he worked during the holidays.
âBoss Qian, are you free for lunch? Iâd like to treat you.â Qiuqiu said enthusiastically. Boss Qian had helped him when he was feeling low, preventing him from going to extremes. She was his benefactor.
âLet my little Qiang treat you. Weâre getting engaged, so consider it a preÂcelebration.â Xiao Qian pushed the reluctant and half-hearted Yu Minglang, who pretended to look out the window.
Who wanted to invite this frivolously dressed kid to dinner? Who knew what he had in mind for Qian Bao?
âWell, Boss Qian, Iâm going back to the rice store now. Come find me at lunchtime. Oh, and Aunt, where is Jingjing?â Qiuqiu asked Jingjingâs mother, not seeming to notice the shy girl.
âSheâ¦is a little tired, sheâs asleep.â
After Xiao Qianâs treatment, Jingjing was left to relax and sleep.
âOh, then Iâll leave first. By the way, give her this.â Qiuqiu took out a small metal rabbit from his pocket.
âWhatâs this?â Jingjingâs mother asked.
âLast time Jingjing dropped it on the road, I saw that the ear was broken off, so I welded it back on and sprayed some paint over it. Itâs unnoticeable now. Iâm off to work.â
Qiuqiu waved and left to deliver the goods to the next house.
âThis young man is so hardworking.â Jingjingâs mother muttered to herself.
Xiao Qian looked at the repaired rabbit and had a sudden idea.
âAunt, you said Jingjing can talk to Qiuqiu, right?â
For Jingjing, who had been severely traumatized psychologically, she now almost rejected all men.
âYes, I saw her talking to Qiuqiu for a while. Really, if only she had found a boy like him, it would have been much better. Even if heâs poor, heâs hardworking.â Xiao Qian wanted to say that apart from not being a man in body, Qiuqiuâs behavior, actions, and personal cultivation outshined many real men.
âIf thatâs the caseâ¦â Xiao Qian thought it over decided to wait for Jingjing to wake up and then observe her reaction.
When Jingjing woke up and saw the repaired bunny, she didnât feel repulsed, even when Xiao Qian emphasized that it was Qiuqiu who had fixed it.
Xiao Qian suddenly had a good idea.
As they went to find Qiuqiu, Yu Minglang remained sullen. Xiao Qian wanted to chat with Qiuqiu alone, so Yu Minglang watched from afar with a dark face. ââ¦The situation is like this, can you do it, Qiuqiu? I can pay you by the hour. Xiao Qian told Qiuqiu her request, and Qiuqiu readily agreed.
âNo problem, donât worry about the money, I can spare an hour every day. Xiao Qianâs idea was for Qiuqiu to accompany Jingjing for an hour each day, chatting, relaxing, or playing Tarot cards, whatever worked.
Jingjing was very afraid of men, and this situation wasnât good for her.
Although she always wanted to confront the scumbag, her subconscious mind would still reject it. So, Xiao Qian had thought of this method to use Qiuqiu as an auxiliary therapist to get close to Jingjing, letting her experience the warm feeling of men without prejudice and not having âstraight man cancer .
This subtle force would wash away all the negative influence Jingjing had towards men in her heart. Next time, raising rabbits would be easier.
Isnât it ironic? The mess caused by a bunch of âstraight menâ was being cleaned up by Qiuqiu, who wasnât even a man.
But Xiao Qian couldnât find anyone else to replace Qiuqiu. It could be that Jingjing felt the warm presence of Qiuqiu and didnât reject him. Missing this treatment opportunity would make it difficult to arrange later.
âI know youâre saving money, and I donât want to take advantage of you. Iâll pay, and Iâll give you an hourly wage.â
âIf you say that, I wonât do it. Itâs not friendly enough. If you want to give me money, then consider it a gift from a poor person like me for your engagement.â
Qiuqiu was a loyal, good friend, so Xiao Qian agreed after hearing what he said. âBut, Boss Qian, I feel like you canât keep the truth from me. I feel like somethingâs wrong with Jingjing. Can you tell me whatâs going on?
