Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Jiao Jiao, This Kang Is So Cold

"That name doesn’t really sound like one for a clothing factory."

Shen Yi’s idea was actually quite simple—he just wanted to combine his name with Jiao Jiao’s. Of course, it was also a subtle way of expressing how much he cared for her. freёweɓnovel.com

He hadn’t really thought about whether the name was suitable for a clothing factory.

The reason he’d used a different character for her part of the name was simply that his choice was catchier, whereas the original was a bit of a mouthful.

But Qin Jiao shook her head and said, "How about we call it the Jiuyi Clothing Factory? With a name like that, I’m positioning it to primarily target the women’s market. Now that the market has just opened up, women’s standards for clothing will gradually get higher. Plus, with the designs your mom learned abroad, we could start a new fashion trend."

The more Qin Jiao spoke, the more excited she became. She immediately took out a pen and paper and started sketching.

After writing for a moment, however, she put the pen down. Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong, Jiao Jiao?"

"We can talk about this later. Finish eating and hurry up and get some sleep. We have to leave for school at seven."

In truth, even though Shen Yi was so tired his eyelids were drooping, he still wanted to listen to Qin Jiao talk. In the end, though, he couldn’t win against her and was sent to the kang with a pitiful look in his eyes.

As it turned out, the kang in Shen Yi’s room was especially cold, as it hadn’t been heated for several days.

"Jiao Jiao, this kang is so cold," he said, looking at Qin Jiao pitifully.

Seeing as he’d been running around outside trying to find sales channels for the factory, Qin Jiao took pity on him. She shifted her own bedding toward the foot of the kang and said, "Alright, you can sleep over here. You can have the head of the kang, but stay away from me."

The kang in her room, as it happened, had just been heated yesterday.

There was no helping it. The courtyard house had been empty for a long time, and now that it was autumn, the kangs needed to be fired up regularly.

Shen Yi came over, hugging his bedding, his eyes shining brightly. He said, "I’ll just sleep at the foot of the kang. I can’t sleep at the head; I’ll get all heated up."

’I’m already full of pent-up energy with no way to release it. If I sleep on the hot head of the kang on top of that, I’ll probably wake up with a nosebleed.’

Qin Jiao didn’t pay him any mind. Once she finished getting ready, she quickly turned off the light to get some sleep, or else she’d be exhausted the next day.

It was almost five in the morning, and the sky was already turning a pale, hazy white. But inside the room, with the curtains drawn, it was much darker than outside.

In the darkness, Shen Yi had lost all sleepiness. He looked in Qin Jiao’s direction. "Jiao Jiao, I missed you. Did you miss me?" frёeωebɳovel.com

Qin Jiao hummed a sleepy assent.

’I did think about Shen Yi.’

’But not in *that* way.’

But her simple "mhm" instantly cheered him up, and his entire bundle of bedding wriggled toward the head of the kang like a giant caterpillar.

"Jiao Jiao, this trip was too rushed, and I was exhausted. Next time I have to go to the South, let’s go together. Come to think of it, we’ve never traveled together."

"We’ll see," Qin Jiao said, yawning with a distinct lack of interest.

Shen Yi quickly said, "Jiao Jiao, go to sleep!"

Qin Jiao rolled over, turning her back to Shen Yi. But even so, she could feel that he wasn’t asleep. In the darkness, his jet-black eyes were still watching her.

Qin Jiao was speechless. She sat up straight, and in the next moment, vanished into her space.

Shen Yi: "..."

He sighed softly, placed his hands behind his head as a pillow, and closed his eyes. Exhaustion and sleepiness instantly washed over him, and he quickly drifted off to dreamland.

Meanwhile, Qin Jiao rested for a while in the bedroom of her space. Her internal clock was precise; she woke up right at six. Deciding to let Shen Yi sleep in a little longer, she quietly washed up and then went to the kitchen to help her mom.
