64: Quarrel and Fight

Seventeen years old in Japan was already a bitter experience. Now that she’s back in this circle in China, how could Qiu Shi possibly make things hard for herself?

She booked the plane ticket perfectly for New Year’s Eve.

Landing in the capital of China, Qiu Ci got off the plane, swiped his face, and adjusted his mask.

“Qiu Ci?” Someone patted him on the shoulder.

Qiu Ci was startled and turned around to see a somewhat familiar face: “Ling-jie? You’re in China!” How come? You’re in China?

So she came to find Qiu Shi.

Qiu Ci knew Qiu Shi well enough to know that since she was going to Su Yuyang’s place tonight, it definitely wouldn’t be a large group.

A thought suddenly popped into his head: if elder sister broke up with Tsukimi Rin, wouldn’t Qiu Shi focus on her work…

Or maybe Qiu Ci was simply unconvinced by Qiu Shi.

In any case, he thought about it and did it.

After getting in the car, he had Su Yuyang send Qiu Shi’s address for the night to Tsukimi Rin’s phone.

Qiu Shi received this year’s New Year’s surprise.

A very big surprise.

Because the next day, Qiu Shi charged over furiously.

“Are you sick, Qiu Ci? Are you happy to ruin my plans? What good does it do you?” Qiu Shi’s face was full of anger.

Qiu Ci, who was originally organizing materials, was interrupted: “What?”

“You told Tsukimi Rin to come find me? Just because I changed my phone, you thought I wouldn’t know? When did you get involved with that gay guy?”

“First of all, she wanted to come find you for the New Year herself. And don’t talk nonsense, which gay guy?”

“That sissy named Su is meddling too. I’m telling you, Qiu Ci, both of you are done for.” Qiu Shi felt like she was about to explode.

“If you dare to do it, didn’t you think you’d get exposed? I’m telling you too, Qiu Shi, I didn’t know you were such a scumbag.”

Qiu Shi raised her hand to slap him, but Qiu Ci didn’t dodge, and she couldn’t bring herself to do it: “How could you understand?”

“I don’t understand, and I’m just friends with Su Yuyang.”

Qiu Shi looked at Qiu Ci with a non-smile: “Are you also gay?”

“Don’t compare me to you.” Qiu Ci was speechless. Just because you’re gay, does that mean everyone is?

“Alright, alright, good little brother, your art studio is finished from now on because you messed up.”

Qiu Ci looked at her in disbelief: “What do you mean?”

“Bankrupt, shut down, anyway, it’d be great to put a coffee shop there.”

“Don’t touch it, do you know how many years it’s been open? Six years, six years, enough for a child to finish elementary school.”

“So what? You hid from me to come to China, participated in a fashion competition I didn’t let you go to, even interfered with my relationships, and just now you called me a scumbag? This punishment is already light.”

“Then did you break up?” Qiu Ci felt a dizziness.

“Didn’t break up? Is it wrong to call you a scumbag? You’re engaged to Qin Yishan in America, you have a girlfriend in Japan that you haven’t made public, and you’re still messing around in China? What? Are you going to open a United Nations at home?”

“Shut up!”

“Am I wrong? I quit, Qiu Shi, I’m not working with you anymore.”

“Stop throwing a tantrum, do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me? Tsukimi Rin is making a fuss about breaking up.”

“Then break up.”

“No, a breakup is impossible, it’s been eight years, how can we just break up.” Qiu Shi said firmly, “I’m planning to have her have a child for me, she really wants children.”

“What?” Qiu Ci felt like he couldn’t understand Chinese anymore.

“Have a child for us, using my eggs, want to be an uncle? Qiu Ci.”

Qiu Ci sneered: “Are you crazy?”

“Go back to France obediently, and send Tsukimi Rin over with you, I’ll protect you.”

……

“I don’t want to see you anymore, Qiu Shi.”

That cheap art studio in the city center.

Had a “For Rent” sign posted on it.

Jing Yueming came to submit his competition materials with his original work and impulsively came here to take a look.

The once lively art studio was now empty.

He still hadn’t met that Teacher Qiu.

Was there no chance?

After submitting the materials, Qiu Ci returned to France.

When he first came, he took over this second-hand house, found it interesting, and tried interior design and decoration himself.

Tsukimi Rin was placed here by Qiu Shi.

Qiu Ci guessed many reasons, including that his father would discover it in New York, or would object.

There was also another possibility: Qiu Shi wanted him to watch over Tsukimi Rin.

Or Qiu Shi wanted him to like the future child.

After Tsukimi Rin conceived, his mood also fluttered along with it.

How could a child from an orphanage dislike someone with his own blood?

Qiu Ci took a leave of absence and, while taking care of Tsukimi Rin, would read books related to pregnancy and childcare.

The painting he loved had long stopped, the art studio was gone, and Qiu Shi wouldn’t even let him do fashion design.

His mind was all on this child.

He would prepare the ingredients for breakfast the next day in the middle of the night and would try to take Tsukimi Rin out, as the mother’s mood was also important for the fetus.

He calculated the time and opened a bank card for that child, using the expected date of delivery since he didn’t know the exact birthday.

It seemed that Qiu Ci was the one being affected by pregnancy hormones.

During his free time, he paid attention to that final fashion competition, and he won third place.

Su Yuyang called to congratulate him, even happier than if he had won the award himself.

“Wow, to be able to get my Brother Qiu to win third place, I have to see how excellent the first and second place winners are.”

“Actually, although the top two are very skilled, I admire this one more.” Qiu Ci sent a photo of the work over.

“Excellent award? Wait, 16 years old! Woah…”

“Very remarkable, and the overall idea is also very interesting, dark red, embellished with emerald green, like the aurora, with the mystery of the starry sky, and also fits its name – Aldebaran.” Qiu Ci explained: “It is said that Aldebaran is a red star, also known as Moon Crow…”

Su Yuyang listened and couldn’t understand, for example, the imagery of this pattern, the expression of that tailoring, and finally yawned. The sound transmitted to the other end of the phone.

Qiu Ci stopped: “Sorry, you might not be very interested in this topic.”

“No, no.” Su Yuyang was afraid that Qiu Ci would be unhappy because of this, after all, this guy’s happiness or unhappiness was always the same, difficult to coax: “I just didn’t sleep well last night.”

“It’s okay.”

……

Now that things were less busy, Qiu Ci bought materials in the studio he had prepared in advance.

Preparing to replicate this red dress in reality.

Tsukimi Rin and he had been getting along very well recently.

She would come to the studio to accompany him.

This girl was good, but unlucky, encountering Qiu Shi who was almost like a madman.

Qiu Ci did not approve of Qiu Shi having Tsukimi Rin be a surrogate.

Qiu Ci would also soften his heart for a young person with their own dreams and a bright future.

He was not Qiu Shi’s accomplice, not watching over Tsukimi Rin, he was just taking care of this pitiful person.

So he left a key for Tsukimi Rin.

She could go out completely if she wanted to.

It seemed she didn’t know, and was now sadly squatting on the floor crying.

She left.

She should be back, in ten months, in the next spring.

The fetus was developing well and would be born healthy.

Years later, would this girl bring her child and come to Qiu Ci for dinner on holidays like a friend?

Possibly.

The card contained the money Qiu Ci had saved over the years. He didn’t work, relying entirely on the living expenses Qiu Shi had left over. He originally wanted to use it to provide scholarships for the children in the art studio.

Now that it was no longer needed, he would leave it for that lucky nephew or niece.

When Qiu Shi returned again, a certificate of abortion was thrown in front of Qiu Ci.

Qiu Shi also hit him for the first time because of this incident.
