A Hapless “Cottage”(Less Quality) Woman Part 3
Xiao Qing’s curse unexpectedly took into effect right away. Almost at the time she put down her phone, it began to rain. The sudden downpour causes Xiao Qing’s entire body to be drenched.
Xiao Qing looks speechlessly at the sky. She cursed: what are they doing? She just cursed at another person. How come the curse came true so quickly but with her? Doing bad thing sure can come true so easily [consequence].
Xiao Qing pitifully carries her luggage to shelter from the rain. She fish out tissues to wipe away the raindrops while complains, “Even if the picture is wrong, a person who has black hair and yellow skin like myself can be easy to recognize right? That b.a.s.t.a.r.d surnamed Shen still did not show up. In the end where did he die off…”
Perhaps Xiao Qing was too depressed thus she did not notice that beside her there’s suddenly an indescribable gaze shooting towards her.
A feeling of coolness brush her neck…

Xiao Qing turned around and saw a man standing not far from her with complex eyes whilst looking at her.
The man was wearing highly polished shoes, straightened suit, and a gray b.u.t.toned-up s.h.i.+rt inside, while his hands carry a laptop bag. His figure is that of a typical business elite. His hair is as black as ink. He has deep eyes, aquiline nose, and facial features altogether that were quite handsome. He’s considered a handsome oriental male with cla.s.s.
He stands quietly under the eaves, sit, and coldly watches the rain outside. His lips pursed together, and his brows frown slightly. From this it’s so easy to create individuality, style, along with the convenient gathering of cold air to make a perfect ice sculpture…
What seems worse is that he seems to understand Xiao Qing’s Chinese curse and thus, he looks at her with eyes that see a “gorilla”. It seems that the two sentences she cursed Shen Jun Ze were unpleasant to hear.
A flame of anger inside Xiao Qing’s heart is overflowing immensely, but it’s not convenient to be angry at a stranger unrelated to her. Let alone a handsome stranger. So she looks back, and reveals a bright smile at him to show “friendliness”.
The man looked at her, and stiffly turned away.
Strange, Xiao Qing felt the action of silently turning away is somewhat familiar…
Dialing Shen Jun Ze a dozen times yet she cannot get through. She does not dare call her cousin out of fear it might affect her cousin’s childbirth. Xiao Qing thus has to wait at the airport with gloom. As it rain harder and harder, but “living thing” called Shen Jun Ze has no signs of appearing, her phone receives no answer…
Well, seems like that loser forgot to pick up me. Can only take a taxi directly to his home. Fortunately, the night before she packs her father had stuffed for her a small book. She remembers there were a lot of the address in that book, including her cousin’s and Shen’s address.
Xiao Qing made up mind to do that. She pulls her heavy luggage into the bursting rain, and called a taxi to Shen household.
Forty minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of a courtyard. The door is closed. One can see through the gap in the fence the yard and see from the courtyard a three-story building that specially resembles one of those Shanghai style houses during the liberation. If there was an addition of a black car in front, it can be used as Qiong Yao’s drama shooting scene.
Elder* Shen’s taste is really unique.
老-lao The original text has lao Shen. It’s a form of respect for the older generation (father & mother) and when translated becomes “old”. I opt for using elder, but old is also an interchangeable term in this case (and might appear later on). In this situation it’s the father’s father’s father, hence elder.
Xiao Qing went to ring the doorbell. The ringing doorbell rang for a long time, but still no one opens the door.
No way? Cousin is giving birth and thus is not at home. Even if Shen Jun Ze is busy and is not at home, the Shen household should have many servants though? Elder/old Shen, uncle, aunt, sister, brother, so many people yet they are not at home. Where did they all evaporate?
If it weren’t for the cold raindrops. .h.i.tting her body, Xiao Qing would have thought this was a dream illusion.
That’s enough, how can she be so unlucky up to this point.
Of course, the main offender (idiom) that causes this crime making Xiao Qing turn out this way is that “Shen Jun Ze” guy. From start to finish (idiom), Xiao Qing will deeply remember this. Within half daytime, these three words “Shen Jun Ze” has been carved in her bones and engraved in her heart (idiom; unforgettable).
b.a.s.t.a.r.d Shen Jun Ze said he would pick her up from the airport, but did not keep his words. A man with not even a smudge of integrity and cannot keep his promise needs to be re-trained!
If it had been Xiao Qing, if there were relatives and friends that came to pick her up, she would have been absolutely positive and enthusiastic—willing to wait at the airport half an hour early. Shen Jun on the other hand was not late—he simply didn’t show up. He’s truly a person that lacks cla.s.s. Xiao Qing’s disdain of this person has soared up to the highest level.
The Shen house is located at the corner of the street. The sky is dark and thus lights are lit up all around with not a single shadow in sight. Xiao Qing was in the corner, s.h.i.+vering cold, and grew more and more angry. Since no one is around, and currently need to vent, Xiao Qing rubbed finger, and curse out loud –
“Shen Jun Ze, how great of a person you are**,
**idiom: good person used to praise moral integrity or courage but XQ is using it to mock SJZ

You dare put me up to this (original text uses pigeon: victim of a game)! I curse that every time you use Metro subway you will see the subway pa.s.s you by in front! Every time you go to a restaurant you will get diarrhea and vomit! Every time you drive car your car will get puncture after ten meters! Also, you will marry the woman you hate the most, a lifetime of slavery to your wife! ”
Suddenly a dazzling light shot directly towards here, and so Xiao Qing quickly s.h.i.+elded her eyes.
A black car abruptly brakes beside her. Xiao Qing was a bit surprised and thought that she had encountered the legendary robbery gang. As she was about ready to run for her life, she saw the door opened, and a tall man walked calmly down.
The man walked in front of Xiao Qing, blocking her way and conveniently s.h.i.+elding her with a large umbrella.
Xiao Qing was in a momentary daze.
– Not a robbery? His way of braking was too “formidable”?
Xiao Qing stared at the man in front who was higher than her by one head. Under the dim streetlights she can vaguely see his face clearly. His pursed lips revealed a sense of coldness, and even his frown expression is also very familiar.
– Was he not the man she just met at the airport?
Xiao Qing was suspicious of him, but then heard the man said in a low voice: “Why is it you?”
Xiao Qing embarra.s.singly smiled, ran her fingers though her hair, and did not answer. Every time she curses loudly she would see him. This too can be called fate. She also wanted to say, “Why it is you”, but her line was robbed and thus she had to remain silent
Seeing Xiao Qing not speaking, the man fell silent. After a moment, his eyes slowly swept across Xiao Qing’s drenched body and coldly asked: “What are you doing here?”
His voice was really pleasant to hear—deep and mellow, but just his coldness makes one hate. In any case, meeting a fellow Chinese compatriot in a foreign country, the feeling is very comforting.
Xiao Qing looked up, smiled and said: “I’m waiting for a man named Shen Jun who said he would pick me up at the airport, but he did not show up. I cannot get through to him via phone, and am wondering what happened.”
“You said Shen Jun Ze?” He asked, his tone a little strange.
“Yes ah.” Xiao Qing nodded, “I do not know where he died off. I have never met someone like him who forgets to pick people up. Say, what else can he forget?”
The man looked at Xiao Qing, and did not say anything.
…

Finally meeting another compatriot that can understand Chinese, Xiao Qing cannot restrain her grievances that she has been tolerating for the past hour, and whispers: “That guy with surnamed Shen, he dares put me up to this(being pigeoned), making me wait in the rain for an hour. If I ever see him, I would surely question his internal organs, so that he knows the fate/result of people becoming pigeons (victims)!
The constant mentioning of his name causes Xiao Qing to want to gnash her teeth together (idiom). She hated the part that she cannot crush his face.
She alone went to study abroad and was not familiar with anyone here. This Shen Jun Ze, if he did not want to pick her up, he shouldn’t agree in advance so that she can be psychologically prepared and reserve a hotel room. Yet he had already promised, the result was he playing a missing game, causing her to wait at the airport like a fool. Truly lacking in cla.s.s, an extreme bad character.
After scolding Shen Jun Ze, Xiao Qing then smiled, and said to the man in front: “I cannot wait for him, and so I went to his house. I did not expect Shens’ house to not have anyone inside.”
The other person suddenly said: “The Shens moved.”
Xiao Qing was surprised and stare at him, “What? … Move?”
“En, they move out a few days ago.” The man in front of her calmly said.
Xiao Qing was dismay and collapses her shoulder down, “Is that so…” Really unlucky. However, if he knew the Shens move, then he must know the Shens right? Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up, and quickly looked up [and said], “Right, you know Shen Jun Ze?”
The man thought for a bit, and said in a low voice, “He is my friend.”
No wonder when he heard her cursed Shen Jun Ze his face had become so strange…
Anyway, Xiao Qing is thick-skinned. It’s not the first time she jokes in front of him, and soon she has calmed down, smiled, and asked: “Since you know him, you probably know where he moved to?”
“This … I do not know.”
“Oh.” Xiao Qing somewhat helplessly scratches her head—she didn’t know what to say.
Both were silent. After a while, the man thought of something and suddenly opened his mouth: “You have no place to live. Staying here is not the answer. It’s getting dark, it’s better to look for a hotel first.”
Xiao Qing thinks staying in a hotel is the only way. However, she was alone here, and is unfamiliar with people. Since he openly offers to help, it’s advantageous to grab this last straw in order for him to help until the very end. The source of resources is in front of her. She needs to know how to grasp and use it effectively.
Thinking up to there, Xiao Qing quickly squeezed out a smile, and politely said: “I am not very familiar with this place. Which hotel is relatively good price, clean, and is near cities with Chinese residents that you can suggest for me? Thank you.” When she finished, her mouth revealed a sweet smile.
The man mouth slightly twitches. It seems that he cannot adapt to the difference in Xiao Qing’s appearance before and after.
Silent for a moment, he then said: “I’ll take you.”
Originally just wanted to let him recommend a good hotel and then she will call for taxi, Xiao Qing was not hoping he will take her there. She didn’t think he would actually say, “I’ll take you.” Xiao Qing at that moment did not know how to react until he reached to pick up her luggage then did she realized, “Thank you for that, really, thank you.”
“No need to.”
In respect to Xiao Qing’s tears of grat.i.tude (idiom), his tone was obviously very calm. When he finished, he handed the umbrella to Xiao Qing, took Xiao Qing’s hand luggage, and turned to place it inside the car.
His body temperature still lingers around the umbrella letting Xiao Qing’s heart be filled with warmth.

No wonder there is a song that sings, “fellow compatriot meet fellow compatriot, two lines of tear fall ah.” Meeting a compatriot in a far-away place from home is truly touching. During lackl.u.s.ter and difficult time, having a compatriot lend a hand, Xiao Qing was really quite moved. Although her first impression of the man was not good, cold and stoic as if someone owes him debt, but seeing him now, he seems to be the one who is cold on the outside yet has a warm heart. Such peculiar temper is similar to her Snow Queen mother at home.
Seeing him soaked from the rain yet does not care as he put away the luggage, took the small suitcase off her hand, and also took the initiative to open the door for her, Xiao Qing’s heart could not help but give him a thumbs-up: this man who looks cold is in fact a very gracious man.
Xiao Qing got into the front pa.s.senger seat, and looks at the man next to her put on the seatbelt. She cannot help but appreciate: “Thank you so much. Thank you for helping me.”
“You’re welcome.” His words are short and sweet.
“Oh, can I know your name please?” A person in a foreign country having a number of friends is good. Xiao Qing smiled and said, “My name is Xiao Qing, graduated from T Business School, and came here for graduate school. How about you? ”
“Jesen.” [That’s how it was spell in the original text…]
This name is really short and concise … didn’t even say Chinese name. Perhaps people living abroad are accustomed to using their English name.
Xiao Qing nodded, appearing very understanding, “h.e.l.lo Jesen, my English name is Sunny. I don’ have a lot of friends here, so I’m glad I’ve meet you ah.” When she finished, she smiled and held out her hand as a friendly gesture.
The ringtone of his phone suddenly rang from the back seat. Jesen did not shake hands with Xiao Qing and made an apologetic gesture. From the back seat of a coat pocket he pulls out a cell phone, picked it up, and said in a low voice: “En, I’ve arrive already, will return late, do not wait for me to eat. ”
Does not know what the other person on the voice said, that person grumbles for a long time, while Jesen seems to be impatient and said with a frown: “Ok, when I come back I will talk to you.” He finished and hung up the phone.
Xiao Qing looked at him, worriedly asked: “Did you have something to do?”
“It’s not important.” Jesen did hung up, but he has been looking down at the phone screen.
The caller log shows many missed calls. The screen displays an unfamiliar number for those calls. Finally at the end, there is a text message sent not long ago and is also from that one number.
When his thumb pressed the b.u.t.ton, a line of small printed words jumps in front of his sight-
“Shen Jun Ze, I am Xiao Qing that you have stood up! You have promised with Yu Jia to pick me up, but did not considered this to be important, causing me to wait for you at the airport for an hour! Dishonest people like you, every day in front of you when you eat I will curse you to get diarrhea and vomit for a hundred times! G.o.d should bless you so that you won’t meet me, otherwise I cannot guarantee I won’t have any violent actions and invade your personal safety! I will not say goodbye!”
Jesen turns off the SMS, and tilted his head to give Xiao Qing a meaningful look.
He looked at Xiao Qing to the point of unfathomable mystery (idiom). She smiled slightly, and softly asked: “Is there something?”
“In front of every lunch I will curse you to get the diarrhea and vomit a hundred times!”
The curse is really evil. These past days his stomach has been upset and currently he cannot eat…
Reading the violent and powerful SMS one more time, Shen Jun Ze regains his line of sight and the corner of his mouth slightly curved, “Nothing”
Then he silently looked away from Xiao Qing’s grateful eyes and started the car.
Xiao Qing’s curse unexpectedly took into effect right away. Almost at the time she put down her phone, it began to rain. The sudden downpour causes Xiao Qing’s entire body to be drenched.
Xiao Qing looks speechlessly at the sky. She cursed: what are they doing? She just cursed at another person. How come the curse came true so quickly but with her? Doing bad thing sure can come true so easily [consequence].

“In front of every lunch I will curse you to get the diarrhea and vomit a hundred times!”

Reading the violent and powerful SMS one more time, Shen Jun Ze regains his line of sight and the corner of his mouth slightly curved, “Nothing”
Then he silently looked away from Xiao Qing’s grateful eyes and started the car.
