Cruel Women Need Faithful Men
Can't Get Out

Before Lou Yao Yao went to high school, she had always stayed at the grandmother's house from the mother's side. Saying that the maternal grandfather raised her would not be too excessive. Fang's ancestors dabbled in the silk business. After hundreds of years, the family moved. They had gone through prosperous times and were in trouble until they reached Lou Yao Yao's grandfather's generation. In his generation he was the only remaining family descendant. Parents miss the past a lot. They are not used to tall buildings and also do not like foreign villas. Until his death, his maternal grandfather always lived in the Old Town in SiHeYuan {yard house, type of residence Tiongho}.

Most of the homes in the Old Town are brick and green tile homes. The Old Town could not be said to be luxurious or have an impressive style. However, it does have an ancient charm that only old houses have. The people who live here are also old people who are nostalgic for the past. When the city began to be built, the Old City was the first place to be torn down, but the overseers were unable to hold back the death-threatening old man. In addition, the people who live there, if they do not do business for generations, then they have been involved in cultural activities. War does not bring them down. There is no revolution. Now, they naturally could not fall down now. Fortunately, the developers finally left the Old City. Today, the Old Town is a famous cultural reserve district.

Lou Yao Yao's favorite thing when she was young was to go to every home and family with her maternal grandfather. Her mouth is sweet and flirtatious. He persuaded all of the old men to wish they could appreciate it in the palm of their hands. Whether in eating or playing, they were being lenient to him.

Back then, Qin Zhi was the king of children in the Old City. Big courage. He fought cruelly. He's practically breaking the law. Until he meets his natural enemy——Lou Yao Yao. Lou Yao Yao pretended to be smart in front of the adults, but actually did a lot of things behind them. It became famous. How many times have people come to his school entrance to threaten to beat him not just two or three times. The boy in the Old City helped him fight. They were in front and were seriously injured. He was with the girls behind the boys, with his hands on his hips, exchanging insults with them. When he was tired of being scolded, he would clap and go home for dinner, leaving a place filled with wounded soldiers.

After that, when people saw him, they would run away. The one who wanted to hide the most was actually Qin Zhi. But he can't. The paternal grandfather and grandfather Lou Yao Yao were good friends. Lou Yao Yao was also an expert at complaining. In his childhood and youth, he was brutally destroyed by her.

After being tormented for so long, he resigned.

At that moment, he was a call from Lou Yao Yao. He was a small gege filled with complaints he couldn't voice.

Qin Zhi was forced to surround half of the small town by Lou Yao Yao. They're back in the Old Town. The world is developing too fast. They have to adapt. They have to move forward. There is no time to look back and people will forget to look back. The high walls of the complex, which seemed to have no end, are now only one square centimeter in size. One only needed to stand on a rather high area, and one could see the end of it.

Qin Zhi pushed the bicycle with Lou Yao Yao on it around the Old City river. With the passing of the older generation, the younger generation left this place in search of a wider sky. Everyone on the street is a tourist or maybe a drama team that is filming a period drama. On street corners there are several booths selling unique snacks or jewelry and vintage clothing. They sometimes met familiar faces from the past, but there was only a casual greeting. After that, they turned around to leave. There was no warmth or intimacy there. The sense of the past is gone.

Qin Zhi asked Lou Yao Yao if she wanted to go to the house to see. Lou Yao Yao shook her head and refused. He was like a child throwing away treasure. Then one day, he remembered it. Finally after finding it, he discovered he was not the only one who had lost the treasure. However, others did not wish to find the treasure.

Lou Yao Yao thought she suddenly understood a little about the old man's heart.

This made Lou Yao Yao's mood slightly stuffy. During the day they eat some kind of delicious and beautiful food. However, it tastes more like inauthentic unique cakes and snacks.

He was like a man who remembered. He stepped on the footprints he had left in the past. He's looking for the past. Everything he thought he had forgotten was slowly coming back. It was as clear as if everything happened yesterday.

Qin Zhi held Lou Yao Yao's hand. They walked slowly, just like they used to be years ago. In the past, he was very lazy. Every time he walked, he felt like he had no bones. He's always lingering. He always wanted her to pull him. Every time they returned to the Old Town from school, it was like dragging a raging old cow. Every time he was so tired that he was half dead. He would angrily scold her, "A troublesome essence! Distraction!"

He would sit on the ground and refuse to walk. It didn't matter if he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he wouldn't wake up even if he were to die. In the end, he had to accept his fate and bear this troublesome essence.

After which, he would pull out his ears with self-satisfaction and shout, "Who is the troublesome essence!"

"I am a troublesome essence!"

“Who is interrupting!?”

"I'm a nuisance!"

The other children in the Old City would laugh at him for not having a backbone. Children mock them by echoing and imitating their actions. At this time, he would take them down, catch up with them and hit them. A bunch of little demons will cry daddy and yell mommy. Behind him, he would laugh and comfort him. After hitting them, he still had to go home with a troublesome essence on his back.

Lou Yao Yao smiled after thinking about this. Qin Zhi asks him what makes him smile. He did not reply, but continued to look at her and smile.

Qin Zhi did not care. He just looked at her helplessly. She smiles. Then, she cried. He was very strong in the past. He would not cry even if he fought or fought with others. Even if she was to lose by a landslide, she was like an arrogant queen. In fact, ever since he was very small, he could see the attitude of the people towards him. Her father doesn't like her. He also never acted like a spoiled child towards her. Whoever hates him, whoever gets tired of him, he pretends not to care. After that, he would not approach them again. She rarely cried in front of people because she knew even though she was crying, those people would not care.

The people who cared about him and the people who did not care about him, he had originally been clear about it in his heart long ago.

Envy drives people crazy. Out of envy, he had become someone he did not know.

It seems like he had a very long nightmare. Suddenly, one day he woke up.

She was crying for some reason. Qin Zhe was terrified. He hurriedly found a tissue to help him wipe his eyes. Her tears kept falling; she kept wiping nonstop. It's not like in the past. Earlier, when she cried, she would complain "The girls are very troublesome" while violently using her sleeves to wipe away her tears. After that, they slowly moved away. Unless, there was a troublesome matter, he would not think of looking for it. But now, as he lowered his head, his expression was very dedicated and very sincere. Her action of wiping her tears with tissue was also very smooth and gentle. He gently absorbed those falling tears with a tissue. He was probably afraid of hurting her.

He has changed. He's getting very strange.

She asked him, “What to do? I can't go out.”

He's moving forward. They all move forward. Only he looks back. Only he stood still. He refused to leave everything in the past. He was drowning in those memories. He can't walk nor does he want to go. Only, he continued to walk further. Eventually one day, he won't be able to see her again. The reason for his arrogant attitude and inability to reason became famous was actually because he was a coward. He was afraid of being rejected so he was arrogant. He was afraid of losing so he used all means. Unfortunately, he is not very smart either. He was fooled by people all the time.

Qin Zhi paused for a moment. He looked at the pair of eyes filled with sadness. He unhurriedly lowered his head to continue wiping away his tears. Her voice was soft, almost like nothing, “Nothing. I'll accompany you.”

Lou Yao Yao's eyes were filled with tears. She was unable to see his expression clearly, but her heart became calm with his words.

Lou Yao Yao cried out very quickly. He also kept walking very quickly. Shortly after, he pulled Qin Zhi to take a walk. It seems she's not just crying. Qin Zhi also avoided discussing the topic.

They went to the school they had attended. Lou Yao Yao unceasingly continued to speak on the street. It's mostly funny things that have happened in the past. Qin Zhi occasionally echoes it. Most of the time, he just silently listened. After eliminating the impatience of a young man, his personality became calmer. It was even a little quiet.

At the barbecue stall in front of the school entrance, Lou Yao Yao ordered one type of MaLaTang. But he only ate one. The rest went into Qin Zhi's mouth. Finally, other than a bowl of hot and sour noodles, Lou Yao Yao did not eat much. But, Qin Zhi ate until he was full. The food here is not the best, nor is it the biggest. However, this is really the place where eating is most pronounced. No other place can compare.{Link to see MaLaTang}

It's time for school to end. The students began to line up. Long queues of cars appeared on the road one after another. The pink bicycle with Qin Zhi and Lou Yao Yao on it mixed with the group of students. It was like a heron in a flock of chickens {well above the usual}.

A male student said to a female student, “Haha, the man is very stupid.”

The female student slapped him, "You fool."

Despite the strange appearance of the students, Lou Yao Yao was overjoyed. Qin Zhi's face was black. He tried to ignore the voices of the student discussion and Lou Yao Yao's laughter as much as possible.

When he finished mocking her, Lou Yao Yao had Qin Zhi send them to the center of the film. Even though she had only done half of what she wanted to do with Qin Zhi in the city, she had not forgotten that she had come to date Qin Zhi. Something every date is sure to have is——watch movies.

The plot is very simple: In the days of the Republic of China, young couples could not be together for various reasons. They have misunderstandings and hurt each other. After going through the pain and grudges, they were finally happy and walked together.

The actors acted very well. Their actions and expressions were also very moving. That's a good romantic movie.

While watching the movie, the mood of the girls in the cinema goes up and down along with the plot. But on the contrary, damaging the mood, occasionally heard the sound of chewing “kadakada”. In the sad part, when everyone's tears fell, there was the sound of “pupu”. {the sound of laughter that came out}

After being glared again, Lou Yao Yao bit on the hamburger and stared at Qin Zhi innocently, "Don't you think it's so funny?"

Qin Zhi completely ignored him. Only he could laugh when a group of women were crying. Actually, you can't blame Lou Yao Yao for this. Using a perspective seven years later, the plot of the play is too pale and the dialogue is too funny. He complained to the various gods. Unfortunately, even if he said the reason for his laughter, others would not be able to understand it.

Lou Yao Yao also did not want to laugh, but she could not bear it.

Upon seeing the end, Lou Yao Yao's expression changed.

On the black-and-white screen, the figures of the male and female lead while still young appeared. He took her through the peach forest where peach blossoms were in full bloom.

In the next scene, they were both old. His feet are no longer so agile. He can't bike anymore. So he carried her. Passing through the place where the peach forest used to be, peach blossoms are no longer left as well as the peach forest. Only the old ones remain.

The old couple smiled, hand in hand——The End.

Out of the cinema, many people were silent. Lou Yao Yao was no exception. Qin Zhi took the parked bicycle. Lou Yao Yao sat down and hugged her waist.

"Qin Zhi, now you're holding me. When you can't walk, I'll carry you.”

Qin Zhi was comforted by him, “Why not now? However, at that time, you won't be able to carry me.”

Lou Yao Yao twisted the meat on her waist, “Are you asking for a fight? You're idiots. Whether I can take you or not is of secondary importance. What matters is my attention to you. Yours sincerely! Do you understand!?"

"OKAY. Okay. Okay. Whatever you say is true.” He thought he was just being unreasonable again.

Lou Yao Yao was furious, but she did not plan to continue talking about this topic.

Therefore, he used all his strength to twist his flesh. However, a little bit of his strength was not enough to hurt him. Lou Yao Yao twisted for a long time, but saw she had no answer. So he went from twisting to tickling.

Qin Zhi was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid of being tickled.

"Stop. I was riding a bike.”

Lou Yao Yao naturally did not listen and continued to tickle him.

"Lou Yao Yao, I'll be angry."

“Haha, please and angry. Angrier. It was just the wrath of a paper tiger. I'm not scared at all. Come on, meowing for me.”

"Lou Yao Yao!"

The two people laughed as they walked into his community. When they arrived at the door of the community, Lou Yao Yao did not want to part so quickly. Therefore, he made Qin Zhi stop at the door. The two people walked back with Qin Zhi naturally holding his hand. The two people didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It had been a habit that had penetrated into their bones ever since Qin Zhi pulled his hand when he had a runny nose with hanging mucus.

Lou Yao Yao opened her hand and intertwined her finger with his. He looked straightforward, pretending not to see his stolen gaze. Lou Yao Yao was scared so she did not dare to speak. Qin Zhi did not speak either. However, Lou Yao Yao could feel that she continued to stare at him. That night was very quiet. The two people were silent, but they did not feel uncomfortable. Lou Yao Yao even felt her heart slightly jump in excitement.

No matter how long the road is, it sometimes has to end. Despite knowing clearly that there are many days ahead. Despite knowing that there were many times they could meet each other. Lou Yao Yao was reluctant to part.

But Qin Zhi did not live in this community. The community where he lives is far from here. It was not good for Lou Yao Yao to continue to hold him here and not let him go home.

Qin Zhi turned on his car and leaned his face towards it. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. Then he turned his face to the side, "Good night."

"Good night." His expression was a little helpless, but his eyes contained a smile.

Lou Yao Yao who got a good-night kiss wanted to see her go. But Qin Zhi used his actions to represent his meaning. If he doesn't come in, he won't leave.

In the end, Lou Yao Yao compromised. He walked a few steps, then suddenly ran back, "Qin Zhi."

"En."

"If you hate me, you have to tell me."

"okay."

His tone and expression showed that he was serious. Qin Zhi's happy expression did not change. He did not show the slightest bit of curiosity on his face, nor did he ask why. He only agreed in earnest like whenever he made no sense in the past.

Lou Yao Yao stood inside the room and saw Qin Zhi's car leave.

Qin Zhi's. Even if I am afraid. Even if I am rejected. I will not give up. Even if, the conclusion is. Only, if.you hate, please tell me. That way, even though I still won't give up. But I did my best to let you hate me just a little.
