SCHS - Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Wen Shixue still hadn't figured out how things had escalated to this point. Her mind was replaying the answers she'd gotten today.
How to coax a girlfriend when she's angry: First, you can't hit a smiling face, so have a good and sincere attitude when admitting fault, then surround the other person with appropriate sweet talk; Second, give them an apology gift, like lipstick, handbags, diamond necklaces, etc., catering to their preferences, letting the gift show your apologetic attitude; Third is relatively simple and direct—between husband and wife, arguments in bed are resolved in bed. What problem can't be solved in bed?
The first method wasn't very effective, and the second method clearly wouldn't impress the financially well-off Vice President Qin. So Wen Shixue decisively adopted the third method, believing that with her beauty, figure, and initiative, she could definitely coax her beloved girlfriend until her anger dissipated!
Why did things turn out like this? According to how it plays out in TV dramas and novels, shouldn't this be the moment for sparks to fly, followed by a passionate, lingering embrace? —Something's not right, Qin Zhen isn't right!
Wen Shixue struggled left and right, trying to get out: "Let me out, this script is wrong!"
Qin Zhen, like the Five Elements Mountain pressing down on Sun Wukong, calmly held down Wen Shixue, this mischievous monkey, to prevent her from suddenly jumping out and catching a cold because she wasn't wearing much. As soon as she heard her mention the script, she unconsciously asked, "What nonsense are you up to now?"
"I'm not messing around!" Wen Shixue said righteously, "I just came to admit my mistake!"
Qin Zhen didn't know whose idea of admitting a mistake involved not wearing clothes underneath. She found it a little funny inside but didn't show it, still calmly saying, "Nobody admits a mistake like this."
Wen Shixue: "Yes, your Wen Shixue admits mistakes like this."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She said it quite righteously.
Wen Shixue thought for a moment and added, "But only for you."
Qin Zhen fell silent after hearing this. Her slender fingers gripping the blanket unconsciously loosened slightly, but she remained seated beside her without moving.
The restraining force disappeared, and Wen Shixue didn't hesitate to climb out from under the blanket, pushing it heavily aside. She looked at Qin Zhen intently and said, "I thought of many ways to apologize, and I asked a lot of people how to coax a girlfriend." She tugged at the bathrobe that offered no defense against the winter cold. "See, this is one of the methods. Otherwise, I wouldn't be wearing so little in the middle of winter. It's really cold."
When she walked over like this, the winter air brushed against her legs, cold like ice blades, scraping directly against her skin, making her shiver. Having been pampered since childhood, when had she ever suffered like this?
Qin Zhen spoke up, "You knew it was cold and still did it." It was a soft sound, full of reproach.
"I had to try," Wen Shixue smiled sweetly, her eyes curving. "How would I know if I could coax you back if I didn't try?"
Qin Zhen didn't respond. Wen Shixue watched her quietly for a moment. Before she could speak, she suddenly leaned over and hugged her, burying her face in her neck, like begging and like acting spoiled: "Lao Qin, I know I was wrong. You can hit me, you can scold me, I have no problem with it, just don't ignore me, don't drive me away..."
As she spoke, the memory of being pushed away and shut out by Qin Zhen last night resurfaced. With lingering fear, she hugged the person beside her tightly, making sure this time she couldn't remove her hands and push her away again.
"I was really scared when you drove me away," she lowered her eyes, her voice full of grievance. "I was afraid you didn't want me anymore."
In front of someone close, one's armor silently dissolves, and emotions become incredibly fragile. A thick sense of grievance enveloped her, making her eyes start to redden. Nestled in Qin Zhen's arms, she was like a child bullied in kindergarten, unable to help but tell an adult about her woes: "I know I did something wrong, and it's right for you to be angry, but can you please not ignore me?"
"I hit my head yesterday, and you didn't even ask about it. I really thought you were so angry you didn't like me anymore..." After saying that, she rubbed the spot where she hit her head yesterday. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and a tear actually fell from her eye. She said weakly, "It hurts so much..."
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She was supposed to be admitting her mistake, but somehow it turned into a big grievance session for herself, and she unexpectedly wanted to cry.
She didn't care if she was being spoiled, because she just couldn't help but show her most vulnerable side to Qin Zhen. Deep down, she still longed, just like last night, for Qin Zhen to know her grievances, to touch her forehead, and softly say, "It doesn't hurt."
Whether it was anger or sadness, it didn't matter. At least she wanted her to know that she still liked her, and wouldn't abandon her and leave because of anything.
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment. When the little devil, who feared neither heaven nor earth, started shedding tears pitifully in her arms, her heart completely melted. How could she still be angry with her?
She actually wasn't angry anymore. Just as Wen Shixue said, once she knew about this, she would inevitably be in a dilemma, and no matter which side she chose, she wouldn't feel good. Wen Shixue's concealment was also for her own good, an effort to minimize the harm that might come to her if the matter was unexpectedly exposed. So she shouldn't blame her.
The reason she was so angry at first wasn't because Wen Shixue lied to her, but because Wen Shixue concealed something so important from her. If things didn't go as Wen Shixue expected and something unexpected happened, she, being completely unaware, might not even have time to protect her properly.
Now, no matter what happened, she had only one thought in her mind: to protect Wen Shixue as much as possible and prevent her from suffering even the slightest harm. That's why she planned to pretend to be angry with Wen Shixue for a day or two, to make her remember that what she did was wrong, so she wouldn't do it again next time. Only when a child remembers a lesson do they know what they should and shouldn't do.
But she had underestimated Wen Shixue's dependence and affection for her. She never thought that a simple action like "taking her hand away" would make her feel the insecurity brought by the sudden distance. This was not her original intention.
She gently placed her hand on Wen Shixue's forehead, and with her other arm, she hugged her back, coaxing her softly as before: "It doesn't hurt anymore, don't cry, be good."
Wen Shixue heard the familiar tone, her crying gradually subsided. She looked up at her with tear-filled, hazy eyes, asking uncertainly, "...You're not angry with me anymore?"
Qin Zhen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying helplessly yet with heartache, "I wasn't angry anymore when I came back at noon."
She was still a little angry before leaving in the morning, but on the way back to the hotel room after talking to Jiang Rui, her anger completely dissipated. Even when listening to Jiang Rui speak, she would think of Wen Shixue. Ultimately, she couldn't let go, so what was there to be angry about?
It was just to make the child remember the lesson; she still had to keep up the act.
Wen Shixue was dumbfounded, feeling even more wronged: "Then why did you still ignore me!"
Wen Shixue: Lao Qin has turned bad!!!
Qin Zhen said calmly, "Ignoring you was to take this opportunity to give you a deeper lesson. I planned to make up with you in a couple of days, lest you take this matter lightly and do it again next time, hiding important things from me."
Although the method wasn't entirely appropriate, it was indeed effective. She just didn't expect it would make the little devil cry.
She cupped Wen Shixue's face and said patiently, "Shixue, I know you chose not to tell me for my own good, but the nature of this matter is different. It involves not just you and Young Master Xu, but also the Wen Group and the Xu Family. It needs to be handled with caution, so I hope you can tell me and let me help you figure things out."
"Remember, I am not only your girlfriend but also your Vice President. My duty is to assist you and help you resolve difficulties. Other things are not important."
"Important..." Wen Shixue said, lowering her head, "Your mood is also very important..." She could understand Qin Zhen's intentions, but she could never bring herself to disregard her feelings, otherwise she wouldn't have made her angry...
Qin Zhen gently rubbed her head: "If I can't help you, my mood will also be very bad."
Wen Shixue pursed her lips, finally nodding obediently. Then she pulled down the sleeves of her bathrobe, wiped her face, and smiled brightly, "Okay, I won't cry anymore. As long as you're not angry with me, everything's fine."
Thank you, Vice President Qin. She really learned her lesson. She definitely didn't want to see the cold Vice President Qin a second time.
After the matter was resolved, her mood immediately improved significantly. She could eat and drink as she pleased, still the fearless little devil Wen Shixue!
After clearing things up, there was no need to keep up the act. The two resumed their former intimate way of getting along. Qin Zhen looked at her forehead. Thankfully, there was nothing wrong, but she still couldn't help but laugh: "How can you even hit the door just by sneezing?"
... She actually had such silly moments.
Wen Shixue: "...I was standing too close, and the sneeze came too suddenly." She leaned forward enthusiastically again, her eyes red and uniquely charming, and said with a smile, "Don't just rub it, give it a few more kisses. Kisses from a girlfriend make it heal faster."
Although there was nothing wrong with her forehead, Qin Zhen still gave her face and kissed it twice, then said, "Okay, go back to sleep quickly."
A question mark slowly appeared above Wen Shixue's forehead. She quickly turned and lay down, hugging the blanket, and stretching out her legs that the bathrobe couldn't cover, she said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Qin Zhen glanced at her legs. The curves were smooth and perfect, without any excess fat. They were pale with a hint of coolness. The unintentional covering by the bathrobe added a touch of temptation. Then she reached out and pulled the blanket over her, to prevent her from catching a cold and also to prevent her own thoughts from wandering: "What's inappropriate?"
Wen Shixue tossed her long hair: "I came over dressed like this, it would be too inappropriate not to do something." Then she propped her head up, looking at her with a smile, while lifting the blanket covering her legs, trying to be sexy, "Sexy and hot, pure and moving, little secretary offering herself."
As a result, Qin Zhen pressed her back down: "We agreed, if you behave here, we'll definitely go back."
Strict as Vice President Qin was, if it wasn't allowed outside, it just wasn't allowed.
Wen Shixue paused, then argued reasonably, "If the flight hadn't been canceled, we would already be home by now. Which means it's already time to go home."
Qin Zhen said very calmly, "But we're still not back."
Wen Shixue's eyes widened in shock. She thought for a moment, then instantly turned serious, uttering two words: "I understand. Save."
Qin Zhen: "...Understand what?"
Wen Shixue analyzed, "It must be that the bathrobe isn't attractive to you, so I'll save now and come back when I'm fully prepared next time." She added, extremely encouragingly, "Life is about persistence, never give up easily."
Qin Zhen: "..."
Please use chicken soup for the soul in the right place, thank you.
