Chapter 3 – Qu Yunxuan

Afternoon.

11.40 am.

Dong Xuebing’s mother was in the kitchen preparing lunch.Dong Xuebing helped his mother to cut some celeries and then he had nothing todo. He went out to the living room and watch TV. Dong Xuebing was hoping thattime will pass faster that day. He can’t wait for the day to be over to try toturn back time. If he could no longer control the time again, he would be happyfor nothing.

Ding Dong. Ding Dong.

Someone was ringing the doorbell.

Dong Xuebing opened the door, and there was a hint of perfume. Through the gates, he could see abeautiful face. It was Qu Yunxuan from unit 302 next door. Big eyes, longlashes, and fair complexion. She was gorgeous. Qu Yunxuan was wearing light colored office attire. Her tight skirtshowed her perky ass. Her sexy long legs were in skin colored stockings with apair of white heels. She had the attractiveness of a matured woman.

“Ermmm.... Please come in.” Dong Xuebing dares not to look atQu Yunxuan any longer and hurriedly let her in.

“Hee hee. I am herefor a visit.” Qu Yunxuan walked in with her pair of alluring long legs. Click,click. The sounds of placing heels on the floor sounded so lovely.

Dong Xuebing’s mother walked out of the kitchen: “Yunxuan,you are here? Is today your rest day?”

Qu Yunxuan looked at the kitchen and answered: “I have oneoff day today. Sister Luan is cooking lunch now? Stop cooking. Come over to myplace with Xiao Bing later for lunch.”

Dong Xuebing’s mother immediately refused: “No need, noneed. I am done with the ingredients.”

Qu Yunxuan thought for a while and said: “Then...... I hadbought some fresh vegetables and meat. I will bring everything over and cooksome dishes, and we can have lunchtogether.” Before Dong Xuebing and his mother could say anything, Qu Yunxuan walkedout and returned with meat and vegetables. She also took out a white shirt froma bag and held it against Dong Xuebing. Qu Yunxuan smiles, flashing her dimple:“Aunt had bought this shirt for you. I am not sure if it’s fit. Hmmm...... Itshould look good on you. Hurry try it on now. If it does not fit, I can changeit to another size.”

Dong Xuebing embarrassedly said: “How can I let you buy me ashirt? You don’t need to buy me anything.”

Qu Yunxuan blinked her eyes and playfully flicked DongXuebing’s nose: “Hurry and change into it.”

In the past, Qu Yunxuan would never have such actions when both of them were talking. Dong Xuebingblushed. But when he thought about being so close with the woman of his dreams,he could hardly contain his excitement. Dong Xuebing took off his t-shirt andchanged into the white shirt.

Qu Yunxuan smiled and helped him with his buttons: “Hmmm...quite fitting.”

Virtuous, caring and gentle. These were the words thatrepresented Qu Yunxuan.

Although Dong Xuebing addressed her as Aunt Xuan, Qu Yunxuanwas only older than him by a few years. She was still single. However, she wasvery matured. When Dong Xuebing’s father passed away, and his mother returned back to the countryside to teach, DongXuebing was left alone in this rented apartment. It was Qu Yunxuan’s smile thatgave him hope, and she accompanied himthrough the most challenging phase of hislife. Qu Yunxuan would drop by his unit every few days to chat, console,encourage with him, and sometimes give him some home cook food. Dong Xuebingwas grateful to her and slowly developed feelings for her. But he knew that hewas not good enough for this beautiful woman. He could only keep his feelings to himself and did not tell anyoneabout this.

When Dong Xuebing’s mother saw Qu Yunxuan helping her son wearthe shirt, she felt it was weird. She knew that when she was not in Beijing, QuYunxuan would sometime cook for her son. But this was very common among neighbors. Helping each other out are theduties of neighbors.

But Qu Yunxuan was too helpful, and Luan Xiaoping feltweird.

Could it be that Qu Yunxuan was interested in her son?Impossible. Both Qu Yunxuan and her son were not a good match. Even though DongXuebing was her son, but Luan Xiaoping got to admit that her son was not goodenough for Qu Yunxuan and Qu Yunxuan would not fall for her son for no reason. LuanXiaoping was well aware of where she and her son stands. When she thought aboutthis, she looked at the both of them suspiciously: “Yunxuan, you have broughtso much food over and still buy Xiaobing a shirt...... Why are you......”

“Xiao Bing, you did not tell Sis Luan about it?” Qu Yunxuanmoved closer to Dong Xuebing.

“Ya.” Dong Xuebing was scared that his mother would getworried and he did not tell her about the accident.

Dong Xuebing’s mother asked: “What happened?”

Qu Yunxuan sighed, andtears start to well up in her eyes: “Theday before yesterday, at the cross junction downstairs, an old man and I werenearly knocked down by a truck. LuckilyXiao Bing rushed over and saved us both. You did not see what happened. It wastoo dangerous. We almost......” Tears startto fall. She could not continue. During the accident, her mind was completelyblank when the truck was closing in. Her legs were rooted to the ground, and she thought that she would be dead forsure. Qu Yunxuan did not expect Dong Xuebing to rush in and save her in such a dangerous situation. She was really shocked bywhat happened.

Dong Xuebing’s mother jumped: “Something like this happened?”

Qu Yunxuan wiped her tears and patted the back of Dong Xuebing’s head. She pursed her red lips andsaid: “Xiao Bing, I will not say how much I thank you for saving me. In thefuture, you will be my younger brother. Sister Luan, you should not treat me asan outsider too. If you and Xiao Bingneed any help in the future, just let me know.”

Dong Xuebing said: “Aiya...... you do not need to do this.”

“What’s wrong?” Qu Yunxuan glanced at him: “You think I amnot good enough to be your older sister?”

Dong Xuebing immediately wave his hand: “No, no. That is notwhat I meant.” Why do you want to be my older sister and not my wife? DongXuebing grumbled in his heart.

Dong Xuebing’s mother realized the seriousness of thisaccident and asked more about the details. She tapped Qu Yunxuan’s hand andsaid: “Wow... it was indeed very dangerous.Luckily all of you are alright. Yunxuan, you have been helping me take care ofXiao Bing these few years. We had never treated you as an outsider. Nowadays,it is rare to find such a sweet and caring woman. It is Xiao Bing’s fortune tohave someone like you to be his sister.” Dong Xuebing’s mother really likes this gentle Qu Yunxuan. She was more thanwilling to be closer to Qu Yunxuan as she would be returning to the countrysidenext month. She would not worry too much if there was someone in Beijing lookingafter her son.

Qu Yunxuan moved slightly towards her right, closer to DongXuebing and stroke his head: “Don’t say that. It’s my honor.” Her thighs hadtouched Dong Xuebing’s knee. Her smooth skin colored stockings felt really goodand tempting.

Dong Xuebing was feeling antsy and to hide hisembarrassment, he moved his head and rolled his eyes: “Aunt Xuan, I rememberedthat you are only older than me by a few years. Can you stop patting me on myhead?” Although Dong Xuebing said that, he really like the way Aunt Xuan strokeand patted his head.

Dong Xuebing’s mother and Qu Yunxuan burst out laughing.

After a while, Dong Xuebing’s mother and Qu Yunxuan went intothe kitchen together to cook.

They had lunch together, andQu Yunxuan insisted on doing the dishes.

In the afternoon, when Dong Xuebing and his mother were notnoticing, Qu Yunxuan took a rag and start wiping the windows.

That evening, Qu Yuxuan insisted on washing the dishes again. No matter what Dong Xuebing and hismother said, it was no use.

7.30 pm

Qu Yunxuan washed the bubbles off her hands and walked outof the kitchen: “All the dishes are clean. I will go back first.”

Dong Xuebing was worried that she would be too tired: “Ok.You should hurry to go back and rest. Youhave been busy the whole day.”

“Your Aunt does not have lots of hobbies and cooking, doinghousehold chores can be considered as my hobbies. Hee hee.... How can doing something I like be tired?” Qu Yunxuan’s smile was as sweet as candy. She removed the apron she was wearingand walked into the restroom. When she came out, she was holding a plastic basinfull of dirty laundry. Those were all Dong Xuebing’s clothes he worn yesterday.“Your mother’s back is not very good and should not be tiring herself. I willhelp you wash these clothes and return to you tomorrow after they are dry.”

Dong Xuebing’s mother immediately said: “How can we let youdo this? Xiao Bing can wash his own clothes.”

Dong Xuebing was blushing and rushed forward to try tosnatch that basin of laundry from her: “I can wash it by myself.”

Qu Yunxuan did not listen and hold on to the basin. When she saw Dong Xuebing refusing to let goof the basin, she laughed and raised onehand. She acted like she was going to hit people: “I will punch you. Hurry upand let go of the basin. If it was someone else, you think I will help to washtheir laundry? I just want to help you have more time to prepare for your CivilServant test.” Qu Yunxuan forcefully snatched the basin and returned to herunit.

Dong Xuebing was feeling very embarrassed. His underwear andsocks were still in the basin.

But despite feeling embarrassed, Dong Xuebing was alsograteful for what happened. If he wereslightly slower on that day of the accident, he wouldnot see Qu Yunbing’s beautiful smile today, andhe would be facing a cold and motionless dead body. He would regret his wholelife.
