Chapter 19: The Resentful Woman
We had breakfast at the same porridge house we had last night. This sweet porridge house also serves breakfast.

When ordering, Dong Xiaoduan was enthusiastic and generous, and ordered a lot of food for Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi. Lin Guzhi said that there was no need to order so much and he couldn't finish it, but he ignored it and just kept ordering, saying that if he couldn't finish it, he could take it back.

It was as if if he didn't do this he would not be able to make up for the guilt he felt towards Lin Guzhi for plagiarizing Lin Guzhi's contributions and famous quotes.

So after drinking the porridge and eating the buns, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi packed two more buns before leaving.

"This guy is pretty good, isn't he, Xiaoxi?"

After parting with Dong Xiaoduan, on the way back, Lin Guzhi casually said to Xiaoxi.

He wondered if he could continue like this tonight and come up with one or two golden sentences for Dong Xiaoduan to copy tomorrow morning. That way, someone would take care of tomorrow's breakfast.

Xiaoxi nodded and commented in a serious manner: "Yeah, but she's a little timid." The little girl was very young, but she liked to imitate adults. So when Lin Guzhi commented on Dong Xiaoduan, she also commented like an adult.

Lin Guzhi smiled and walked forward with Xiaoxi.

He soon saw a police station and led Xiaoxi directly inside.

It was early in the morning and there were not many people coming to the office to do business, so he quickly got to the window of the household registration office.

After he explained to the household registration police that he had lost his ID card and needed a new one, he was called to the photo studio to have his photo taken, have his fingerprints recorded, and pay the fee.

This was the procedure he had gone through when he first applied for an ID card, but at that time his grandfather brought him and paid the money. Now, time has passed, his grandfather is no longer with him, and Xiaoxi has been added to his side.

Things are different and people are different!
After reissuing his ID card, he got a household registration certificate and then left the police station.

As for Xiaoxi's situation, he didn't tell anyone. At this time, he had no preparations, and telling others about Xiaoxi's situation would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

After finishing what needed to be done, Lin Guzhi picked up Xiaoxi and walked quickly towards home.

I returned to Heping No. 1701 Community, took the elevator of Unit , Building , and went up to the th floor. I knocked on the door of Room . Immediately, I heard footsteps from inside the door.

After opening the door, Lin Guzhi saw Xia Qing standing at the door with dark circles under his eyes, looking resentful.

"You guys still remember to come back!"

Xia Qing complained and opened the door.

Lin Guzhi carried Xiaoxi in and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Xia Qing was furious: "You didn't come back all night and didn't even tell me! I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night!"

She really didn't sleep all night. After failing to wait for Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi last night, she was too lazy to wait and went back to the bedroom to get into bed.

But after lying down, she couldn't help feeling a little worried. She thought, it was raining so heavily outside, and those two guys, one big and one small, hadn't come back yet. She wondered if they had encountered any accident?
It was late at night, and I didn't know what time they would be back. If they came back, I was afraid they would disturb me.

Also, they were wearing tattered clothes, didn’t even have a cell phone, and didn’t know how much money they had on them. Was it enough for dinner? Was they hungry?

If I'm hungry, when they come back, do I have to get up and go out to remind them that there are leftovers in the kitchen?

So she kept urging them in her heart, over and over again, wanting them to come back quickly, so that she could sleep peacefully once they came back.

After reciting all night, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi didn't come back. So now that she saw the two of them finally appear outside the door, she couldn't help but feel resentful when she spoke.

After she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong.

Why am I like a resentful woman who stays alone in her empty room? !
She quickly explained: "No, I didn't mean anything else. I just thought that since we were all living here and you were not coming back with a little girl all night, I wonder if anything unexpected would happen."

But why does this explanation seem meaningless and inexplicable?!

Lin Guzhi said: "Thank you, you are a good person."

Xia Qing was overjoyed to see this good guy card, and quickly said, "Yes, that's what I meant! I don't mean anything else, I'm just a kind-hearted person, and I'm worried that something might happen to you! Where did you go? You didn't come back all night." Lin Guzhi said, "I found a job to look after the warehouse, and I work the night shift. I don't have a cell phone, so I can't tell you, sorry."

Xia Qing was slightly stunned. She glanced at Xiaoxi and asked, "Are you taking Xiaoxi with you on the night shift?"

Lin Guzhi said: "It's okay, there is a bed at work. I'm on night shift, and she sleeps with me."

Xia Qing said: "How can you rest well at work? Are you still on night shift tonight? If so, why not let Xiaoxi stay at home with me..."

She was just about to ask Xiaoxi to sleep with her at home, but then she saw Xiaoxi's vigilant eyes, and she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said faintly: "Forget it, you should take her with you. Otherwise she will think that I want to take her hostage."

Lin Guzhi smiled. Xiaoxi blinked her ignorant eyes.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Xia Qing feels that this little girl is pretending.

"I'm going back to my bedroom to write songs. There are leftovers in the kitchen. If you haven't had breakfast, you can make your own."

Xia Qing waved her hand and returned to her own bedroom.

She was very dissatisfied with her behavior. She was obviously living under the same roof with him just because of some accidents, and it had nothing to do with her, so why was she acting like this?

Don't forget why you're here! Write songs! Write songs! Just write songs!
Minding other people's business is like worrying about one's own business!

After complaining about himself, Xia Qing took out his guitar and played a melody.

——Her guitar is a silent guitar, so she needs to be careful so as not to disturb Lin Guzhi's rest after working the night shift.

The melody I am playing now was inspired by last night.

Last night she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Her emotions were surging and inspiration came to her again, turning into a melody.

Although she couldn't sleep at the time, she was too lazy to get up from the bed, so she just took a pen and paper, lay on the bed and wrote a few drafts without finishing them.

She finally got up now. Although she didn't sleep well last night, she still wanted to finish the song now.

"Thump~thump~thump~thump~"

The melody sounded softly as the strings swept across the guitar, echoing in the bedroom. The high-quality and expensive silent guitar effect meant that Xia Qing didn't have to worry about the sound spreading out of the bedroom.

However, Xia Qing was still stunned when he heard the song he played.

"Why does the mood of this tune sound like that of a grouchy woman?!"

She quickly adjusted herself and played again.

Still a bit like a grudge...

Then adjust, change the tune, and play.

The smell of a resentful woman still lingers.

Adjust it again, change the tune again, and play it again.

……

Forget it, let her be a complaining woman...

It's just a song anyway, what matters is that it sounds good.

As long as it sounds good, it’s OK!
Nothing else! Nothing else!
