This distant cousin had never called him proactively; she would only chat with him a few times when she stayed at their home for a short period. Moreover, ever since he encountered her washing her underwear in the bathroom last time, they hadn't spoken much until now.
After connecting.
Su Yin's sweet voice came through the wristband.
"Brother-in-law."
"Xiao Yin, is there something you need when calling?"
"I… I want to ask brother-in-law for a favor."
"No problem, tell me what kind of favor it is."
Shen Ping said in a gentle voice.
The other end of the line stammered for a long time before finally explaining the matter. It turned out that she had been looking for a job with her roommate recently, but they encountered setbacks everywhere. Either the salary was very low, or people were making advances on them.
Seeing her roommate constantly worried about this.
Su Yin mentioned that Pingwei Materials Company was opened by her brother-in-law, and then her roommate asked her to introduce them to the company.
Shen Ping listened and couldn't help but laugh, "Small matter. Bring your roommate to the company tomorrow. If you think it's suitable, you can intern at the company."
"Ah… Thank you, brother-in-law."
Su Yin didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and her tone lightened, "Hehe, I'll treat brother-in-law to dinner tomorrow."
At the same time, her roommate's excited exclamation came from the phone.
Shen Ping shook his head and ended the call. The company was in a period of rapid development. Not only was the materials company recruiting employees, but the future production and sales of genetic potions would also require a large number of people. Therefore, this matter was completely effortless for him.
The next day.
He told his wife, asking her to arrange things at the company today.
Li Yuewei said sourly, "For such a small matter, a phone call to me would have been enough. She even called you personally. Girls really don't stay in the family once they grow up."
Shen Ping was speechless, "Isn't it all the same?"
"That's different."
"Xiao Yin asked you for help with her roommate, not me, her cousin, first. This shows that in her heart, your status is the highest."
Li Yuewei snorted, "Are you two secretly flirting behind my back?"
Hearing this.
Shen Ping immediately thought of the two times he had seen the youthful scenery in the bathroom. However, he would never admit to such a thing, even if his wife didn't care, he couldn't say it. "Wife, what are you thinking again? She's your distant cousin. If you hadn't kept bringing up that kind of thing, I wouldn't even have had any improper thoughts."
Seeing her husband's serious face.
Li Yuewei burst out laughing, "Alright, I was just joking."
Shen Ping pretended to put on a stern face, "You can't make this kind of joke casually in the future; I'll take it seriously."
His wife quickly hugged Shen Ping's arm, swaying and saying in a weak voice, "Hubby, I was wrong. I'll compensate you well tonight."
Shen Ping's expression changed, and he instinctively said, "How will you compensate me?"
His wife didn't say anything, but her tongue gently glided across her lips, exuding charm for a moment.
"Don't wait until tonight, right now."
"You're annoying."
Days quietly passed in such a peaceful yet occasionally fun-filled life. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had gone by. It wasn't even November yet, but the cold wave from the north swept south, and the leaves on the roadside of Hua Zhong Base City fell again and again.
At the entrance of Nanyuan Community.
Mu Yang sat in the driver's seat and opened the car window, saying, "Shen Ge, in a few days, the captain will take new recruits to the Wilderness Area. When you have time at the end of the year, I'll come back to practice my blade."
Shen Ping laughed and scolded, "You're progressing so slowly, kid. Don't go around saying you learned from me when you're out there."
Mu Yang chuckled dryly and scratched his head.
"Go back. I'll also have to leave the Base City in a while. I plan to go to South America. If I'm delayed for too long, I might not really have time at the end of the year."
Mu Yang was startled, "Shen Ge, you… you're going to South America?"
Shen Ping nodded, pointing to his severed arm, and then said, "The Amazon jungle in South America was sparsely populated before the Great Nirvana. After the Great Nirvana, various countries discovered ancient relic civilizations deep in the jungle. So, this trip is to try my luck and see if I can find something good to restore my severed arm."
"Don't worry, that senior will be leading."
Mu Yang's worried expression only then faded a little, "Shen Ge, even if there's a God of War senior leading, you must be extra careful. There are quite a few monsters in South America."
"Mm, I will."
Watching Mu Yang leave.
Shen Ping's face broke into a smile. After he returned from South America this time, a large part of his strength could be revealed.
Back at the villa.
Su Yin, wearing a tight-fitting crew-neck sweater, was playing with the two children. She was currently interning at the company with her roommate and didn't return to school during weekends and holidays, staying here instead.
His gaze subconsciously fell on the rounded curves supported by her chest, and he couldn't help but look a few more times. Compared to his wife who had given birth, Su Yin, who hadn't graduated yet, truly had a figure that could be described as curvaceous.
She seemed to notice his gaze.
Su Yin turned around and, seeing Shen Ping, smiled sweetly, "Brother-in-law, my cousin Li Qi just called and asked you to go to the hot pot restaurant. He said someone was drinking and causing trouble."
In the past two years.
Li Qi's hot pot restaurant was doing pretty well, but he kept bothering him every now and then, mainly because martial artists often got drunk and acted crazy, and Li Qi wasn't a martial artist, nor did he have connections in that area, so he could only ask Shen Ping for help.
"Tell him to call Director Chen of the Base City directly."
After speaking.
He went upstairs.
But Su Yin followed him.
This made Shen Ping pause, and he turned sideways, saying, "Xiao Yin, is there something else?"
Su Yin's face suddenly turned rosy, her eyes darted around, and her two slender arms had nowhere to rest. Seeing Shen Ping staring at her, she took a deep breath and mustered her courage, saying, "Brother-in-law, yesterday my cousin said something to me, that, that matter I…"
She seemed too shy to speak, unable to get the words out.
Shen Ping, however, understood. His wife had mentioned to him before that she would ask her cousin for her opinion. It seemed she had asked yesterday. So he pretended to say casually, "Xiao Yin, don't feel pressured. Your cousin and I respect your thoughts. No one will force you. Even if you don't want to, everything will remain unchanged."
"Understand?"
Su Yin nodded repeatedly, "I understand. I keep all of brother-in-law's kindness to me in my heart. It's just that I'm not ready yet."
At this point.
She lifted her watery eyes and continued, "Can you give me some time to think?"
Shen Ping smiled, "Of course, there's no rush."
"Hehe, thank you, brother-in-law."
Su Yin beamed and quickly walked forward, then pecked Shen Ping's cheek like a dragonfly touching water, before running away, her face flushed with shyness, almost stumbling as she reached the stairwell.
Shen Ping stood still, touching the lingering softness on his cheek. His nose seemed to catch the scent of youth, and the corners of his eyes curved into a smile.
A young girl's heart is always full of spring.
