SCHS - Chapter 24
Chapter 24
Wen Shixue cupped her face, looking at Qin Zhen seriously, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, like a naive child ignorant of the world, filled with intense curiosity about everything.
Since Vice President Qin could accept Tao Wanwan's pounce, then she should also be able to accept being hugged by her?
Qin Zhen was speechless, then fell silent, turning her head to look at the open view of the park lake and taking a breath.
In her many years of work, this was the first time she'd encountered such a direct boss. Either flirting with words or always wanting physical contact with her. Why exactly is this? She felt deeply puzzled.
Her red lips parted slightly, her tone as calm as ever, reminding, "President Wen, we agreed you would reduce your thoughts about physical contact with me."
Wen Shixue "mm-hmmed" twice and said, "We also agreed that the President and Vice President should be on the same page, according to the extent you can accept."
Qin Zhen: "..."
Qin Zhen: "...So?"
Wen Shixue's expression was calm, and she spoke logically, "Since Vice President Qin was willing to let Tao Wanwan hug you, that means you accept that extent, which is to say, you can also accept me hugging you."
Wen Shixue: This young lady is a little logic genius!
Qin Zhen didn't reply immediately, looking at her silently for a while before slowly saying, "You cannot."
The moment Wen Shixue heard these three words, a sense of betrayal suddenly arose in her heart. Ever since Qin Zhen promised her she would stay with her and never betray her, Qin Zhen had been categorized by her as an important person to interact with, treating Qin Zhen with the feelings one would have for a teacher, a colleague, and a friend.
As a result, this person who held unique significance for her could accept being hugged by others, but couldn't accept being hugged by her!
This isn't fair!
Wen Shixue decided to get to the bottom of it: "Why not? Am I really less important than Tao Wanwan in your heart?"
She had known her earlier than Tao Wanwan, so why could Tao Wanwan, who came later, hug her, but she couldn't?
Wen Shixue: Qin, are you discriminating against me?!
Qin Zhen listened to her childish, unconvinced tone, her brows furrowed slightly, and calmly replied, "It's different."
She accepted Tao Wanwan's hug simply because Tao Wanwan was crying, venting the deepest grievances and resentment accumulated in her heart during this time. Both emotionally and logically, she should make a slight concession for this child who was currently feeling wronged.
But Wen Shixue wanting to hug her was simply wanting to hug her, with no special reason, so she also had no special reason why she absolutely had to accept this hug.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Shixue became even more unconvinced: "How is it different? She's a woman, I'm a woman, and we're both paper people!"
Qin Zhen was a bit confused, what are paper people? As someone who didn't often surf the internet, this knowledge point touched upon her blind spot. Fortunately, she didn't dwell on it too much; after all, Wen Shixue's little brain was unusual, and it was normal for her to often come up with words others didn't understand.
Vice President Qin: As long as you get used to the boss's thought process, there will be nothing in this world you can't adapt to.
Facing a boss who was like a child, Qin Zhen sighed helplessly and said patiently, "She was venting her emotions, and I shouldn't have interrupted her inappropriately, right?"
Wen Shixue blinked, and said very seriously, "Yes."
Seeing her so sensible and well-behaved, Qin Zhen couldn't help but feel relieved. But the next second, she saw her bury her face in her hands and start fake crying, the acting particularly stiff, only the sound could be heard, but no tears were seen.
Qin Zhen: "?"
Qin Zhen: "What are you doing?"
Wen Shixue's fake crying stopped abruptly: "Venting emotions." Then she continued to fake cry calmly.
Qin Zhen: "???"
Before, I only knew you were someone who said surprising things, I didn't expect you were also a drama queen?!
Then she saw Wen Shixue secretly moving her body, inching towards her, looking ready to strike. She guessed what she wanted to do at a glance, and before she could make a move, she grabbed her arms, interrupting her dramatic behavior, straightening her up, and looking directly into her eyes.
Wen Shixue's 'loading bar' skill was forcibly interrupted. She blinked innocently at the person opposite, then opened her mouth and softly let out a sound: "Ying."
If you're going to act, do the whole set!
Qin Zhen: "..."
Surprisingly, it was a little cute, but with a poker face like Vice President Qin, she still kept a calm expression and said sternly, "Stop messing around."
Wen Shixue wasn't afraid of the poker face, nor did she struggle against her restraint. She raised her little arm and pointed at her aggrievedly, then boldly accused, "Qin Zhen, you have double standards!"
Qin Zhen asked, "Where do I have double standards?"
Wen Shixue said righteously, "When Tao Wanwan vented her emotions, you let her hug you, but when I vent my emotions, you won't let me hug you. Anyone can tell you're an old hand at double standards!"
Qin Zhen: "..."
You were clearly acting!
Qin Zhen really couldn't understand why Wen Shixue always wanted to do something to her. She didn't want to be narcissistic and think about unnecessary things, but Wen Shixue's behavior always made people's imaginations run wild—this is not a proper boss at all!
Qin Zhen didn't want to dwell on it anymore; it was better to clear some things up sooner rather than later. So she first asked directly, "Why do you want to hug me?"
Wen Shixue answered with extreme frankness, "Because I think it's unfair."
"Isn't our relationship at Chenfeng better than with anyone else? You clearly promised to stay with me and not betray me, doesn't that mean my position in your heart is different? So how can you treat others more specially than you treat me?" By the end of her sentence, Wen Shixue simply started acting, clutching her heart and saying, "Oh, my heart, it hurts so much."
Qin Zhen: "..."
Speak properly, don't act.
Although Qin Zhen was speechless at her dramatic behavior, she was still touched inside. She hadn't expected to be placed in a different position by Wen Shixue, and she was helpless against Wen Shixue's childish competitive behavior.
Wen Shixue's thoughts were pure, and she was a little childish, different from her—different in every way.
She suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore; perhaps now was a good opportunity to be open and honest.
She found an opening and said, "President Wen, do you remember asking me what kind of man could capture my heart? I can answer you now."
"No kind of man can."
Wen Shixue watched her quietly.
She said, "Because I like women."
Wen Shixue was stunned.
