"I was working a part-time job that day." Quan Jingyi said in a light voice.
Li Jianyue was surprised. "You, working part-time?"
"Well," Quan Jingyi walked forward, looking lazy, completely different from the calm and firm look he had just shown in the office, "I'm selling some small accessories. You bought something from me before."
"Ah," Li Jianyue suddenly remembered, "I bought it from Kumamon. Were you wearing Kumamon's clothes that day? You sold me the bunny ears!"
Quan Jingyi nodded lightly, which was considered as an admission.
"Wow, so that's how it is!" Li Jianyue was extremely surprised, "Then why didn't you call me? So it was you, you are so awesome!"
"sharp?"
"Yes, that's amazing," Li Jianyue said with a look of admiration on her face. "You have to go to school and work part-time, and it's so hot, and you're wearing so many clothes and standing in a place with so many people. I can't bear it just thinking about it. My grandfather always said that only those who endure hardships can become successful people. You're starting to hone yourself now, which is really amazing."
Quan Jingyi smiled when he heard Li Jianyue's sincere words, "I work part-time just to make money."
"Make money?" Li Jianyue looked at him and blinked, "Doesn't your father give you money?"
"Well," Quan Jingyi walked forward, "It doesn't matter. If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. I can earn it myself."
"Then why didn't your father give it to you?" Li Jianyue chased after him. "I heard from classmates that you and your father have a bad relationship. Is it because your father didn't let you learn painting, and you still wanted to paint, so your relationship is bad?"
Li Jianyue's voice was filled with doubt, as well as the unique immaturity and innocence of a young girl.
Quan Jingyi turned his head and saw the confusion and curiosity on Li Jianyue's rosy face.
“That’s just part of it.”
"What about the other reason?" Li Jianyue asked curiously.
Quan Jingyi paused and found that Li Jianyue was quite short.
Standing now, the top of his head couldn't even reach his chin.
Li Jianyue thought he didn't want to say it, so he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell me, it's okay."
Quan Jingyi curled his lips, "There's nothing I can't tell you. You probably heard them say that my biological mother died, and my father married a stepmother for me, and she gave birth to a younger brother."
"Yeah." Li Jianyue nodded.
But what she knew was that his father had a stepmother, but she didn't know that the stepmother had given birth to a younger brother.
"When my stepmother was in confinement after giving birth, I argued with her a few times."
Li Jianyue opened her eyes wide, "You really shouldn't have done that. My mother said that women should not get angry during the confinement period. If they get angry at this time, the sequelae will last a lifetime."
Whenever Li Jianyue heard her mother talking about this, she couldn't help but feel proud of her.
Because my mother met a good man, she was well taken care of when she gave birth twice.
Quan Jingyi lowered his eyes slightly and responded.
Li Jianyue saw that Quan Jingyi seemed to be in a low mood and felt that she had made him unhappy, so she immediately said, "But I believe you wouldn't talk back to her for no reason. Why?"
"Because she wanted to throw away my mom's photo."
Li Jianyue was shocked, "No way, is your mother's photo a hindrance to her? Then why don't you hide it!"
"I hid in a drawer in my room."
