Chapter 391: Chapter 400: The Three of Them, Mother and Sons

Indeed, as Qin Xiangyang said, his nature was indeed somewhat straightforward. Not to mention in the military, no matter where, one inevitably has to deal with people’s scheming and competition, but schools are a bit simpler. For Qin Xiangyang, a man wholly dedicated to a single task, teaching students was indeed the most suitable role for him.

Qin Xiang must have preferred his older brother to live such a simple life rather than waking up to various issues every day.

When Qin Xiangnuan learned of this matter, she truly did not object. In fact, nobody knew that this had been her intention from the start. Now that Qin Xiangyang was almost guaranteed a position to stay on at school, she felt relieved.

As for her own studies, they were really quite simple for her, and she passed without difficulty.

Then, when summer vacation came, Qin Xiangyang was about to leave again. This time, he was heading abroad to learn the latest computer knowledge, which was advancing year by year, and there was more to learn each year. Qin Xiangyang was nothing but delighted about it, as he could not only acquire knowledge but also further improve his foreign language skills, which he greatly enjoyed.

Qin Xiangnuan owned an internet cafe and had a good relationship with several computer companies, so whenever there was some new technology, they would inform her. Then, Qin Xiangnuan would arrange for Qin Xiangyang to lead the team, taking the staff of the internet cafe to learn. If the venue was nearby, he would take everyone along; if it was too far away, he would go by himself.

Qin Xiangyang was no stranger to these trips; he almost knew the way by heart and was already preparing his luggage for another visit just after vacation started.

As for this summer vacation, Qin Xiangnuan was helping Granny Lu manage a little shop. She had fed the Qingming River Painting to the system, and the system once again unlocked a lot of fabric patterns for her, which were updated concurrently with the offerings outside.

"How long can your energy last now?"

Qin Xiangnuan pulled up the system’s transparent panel and asked.

"Ding..." A line of text appeared on the system.

"Usable for 105 years."

"I won’t have to worry until I die," Qin Xiangnuan was quite satisfied with that number, one hundred and five years, referring to the outer world, not the inner one.

The system gave her a crying face.

"Don’t worry," Qin Xiangnuan closed the panel, "I will keep maintaining you until my eyes go blurry and I can’t see anymore."

The system seemed to convey a feeling of joy to her, and she knew that the system was happy.

Summer was approaching, and it was time to change everyone’s clothes.

The clothes worn inside the Red Forest Internet Cafe were handcrafted by her every year. Red Forest Internet Cafe had a special feature: the staff’s attire was unique, clearly custom-made, and completely different from those outside. The internet cafe’s staff wore the same uniform in winter, the only difference being the badge on their chest with their names and job titles. Each season’s clothes were quite attractive, giving an impression not of an internet cafe, but rather of a fashion show.

Whether it was modern suits, Zhongshan Suits, casual wear, or punk style, on these staff members, one could always find a touch of uniqueness. Although many of the staff members had some physical disabilities, their stature always appeared tall and imposing.

Later on, people came to know that the internet cafe staff were all former soldiers who had been wounded in duty and thus had to retire. Because of their background, although the internet cafe was a place where all sorts of people mixed, there was somehow always a sense of tranquility. Hardly anyone dared to make trouble here. It wasn’t just the formidable skills of these former soldiers; it was also the powerful backers behind them, making them hard to provoke. Although Qin Xiangnuan wasn’t sure how these rumors spread, she was quite happy for them to exist. Even if people said she was bluffing with borrowed authority, so be it. If they weren’t convinced, they could come and challenge her.

In Capital City, approaching August, the weather was hot but one could also feel the first hint of cool breeze. That era’s Capital City was beautiful and relatively cool, making it a suitable place to live—lots of greenery, fewer high-rises, and particularly fresh air.

Capital City was famous not just for being the capital, but also for several well-known universities, such as Kyoto University where Qin Xiangnuan attended, and other institutions like foreign language and translation schools, as well as internationally renowned Qing University.

At this time, students were all dreaming of getting into a university in Capital City, an aspiration so far away yet seemingly within reach.

"Mom, is this the place?" A young girl with a pretty face, albeit slightly dark-skinned, pulled a red suitcase and pointed at the Siheyuan in front of her, asking the woman loaded with bags behind her, who was followed by a young man with a somewhat difficult-to-deal-with appearance, his brooding presence evident. Squinting his eyes, he scrutinized the Siheyuan and muttered something disdainfully, betraying a hidden greed.

"That should be it, Pengfei. Check the note, is it this place?"

The woman dropped her bags on the ground and casually wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

"That ungrateful girl, living in such a nice place. Doesn’t think to let us stay, instead leaving it to some outsider."

"Exactly," the young girl lifted her chin in superiority. Although she was fairly attractive, she exuded an air of rusticity, especially when compared to the young men and women of Capital City, coming across as unsophisticated. Not to mention her clothes, even her hairstyle was pretty, but why on earth would she add such a big flower on top? It was unbearably tacky.

And the middle-aged woman, Hu Li, was even more rustic in her ostentatious red and green clothes, speaking loudly, and with a spit, she hawked a glob of phlegm to the side.

Woof woof...

At that moment, a burst of dog barking came from inside, startling them, and the young girl’s red suitcase fell to the ground.

"Mom, she must be living here," said the young man named Pengfei, after eyeing the small Siheyuan for a while, finally seeming pleased, "This place is not bad."

"Of course, it isn’t," said the woman, treating the Siheyuan as if it was her own property, "With such a large yard, of course it belongs to the Qin Family. That damned girl and that short-lived wretch, could they compete with us?"
