Hong Kong City's Great Beauty [1988]

A Radiant Great Beauty vs. a Tough Engineering Man

In 1988, Wen Quhua took a green-skinned train from south to north by herself and went to Langcheng, a small county town with backward development. She rented a tiny storefront and opened a dessert shop.

Next door was a barbecue stall. Every afternoon, quite a few customers would sit outside drinking alcohol and eating peanuts. From time to time, they would glance at the female owner of the dessert shop next door.

“I heard Boss Wen is from Hong Kong City. She’s as beautiful as a big movie star. Brother, you don’t even know. Young men from several streets away are all staring at Boss Wen. What a pity… we don’t even dare to think about it. Even if someone like that were married and brought home, you still wouldn’t be able to keep her.”

Yang Qin only cast a cold, indifferent glance over, took a sip of baijiu, and said nothing.

A brother beside him sighed with emotion. “As expected of Brother Yang. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can’t even catch your eye.”

But at two in the middle of the night, rain poured down in torrents. Yang Qin tossed and turned several times. Holding his tools, he went out with an irritable expression.

Inside the dessert shop, a figure moved about in panic. One moment she used a basin to catch the leaking rain, the next moment she used a quilt to block the edge of the counter, afraid the water would flood the shop.

Yang Qin watched for quite a while. He threw away the half-smoked cigarette and walked over, taking the basin from her hands. Gripping her waist, he lifted her up and set her on the counter.

While repairing things, he curled his lips slightly and said in a cold voice, “Don’t worry. I’ll leave once I finish fixing it. I won’t cling to you.”

Wen Quhua looked at his arms, soaked through and appearing even more powerful because of the rain. She quietly responded with an “Oh,” while thinking to herself that he was full of nonsense. Just now, when he grabbed her waist, he had rubbed it several times.

Yang Qin blocked the entrance, pulled the door down, then turned around. With practiced familiarity, he enclosed her in his arms and kissed her. The kiss was heavy and fierce.

“Wen Quhua, you’re really going to be the end of me.”

[After Wen Quhua was reborn, she had a task panel: return to the 1990s and help a man named Yang Qin. According to what she heard, this man named Yang Qin would be imprisoned for fifteen years because of a murder case. She was actually a little afraid of this man who would soon become a murderer. She only wanted to guide him from a distance so he would not go down the wrong path. But although he kept saying he didn’t care about her, he was always kissing and hugging her, which troubled her greatly.]

Later, she finally remembered. The man she had deliberately tried to forget, the one who saved her when she was twenty-two but accidentally beat the murderer to death and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison, was called Yang Qin.
