SCHS - Chapter 85
Chapter 85
Wen Shixue's hand preference wasn't something new; Xu Jianfan was already used to it. Tease away, as long as she didn't make his secretary Pan go 'move bricks' too, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain it to his parents when he got back.
Xu Jianfan: Just poison me, don't harm the innocent.
Pan He, suddenly being compared to Qin Zhen by Wen Shixue, felt no ripples in his heart, his expression still calm and collected. At the same time, he felt a wave of relief. Wen Shixue likes nice hands, and his young master's hands are very nice, perfectly catering to her preference.
After saying hello, Xu Jianfan and Pan He watched Wen Shixue get into the passenger seat of Qin Zhen's car. Xu Jianfan patted Pan He's elbow: "Brother He, let's go back." He still had to continue making a bracelet for his girlfriend.
Pan He slowly withdrew his gaze at the sound, walking as he said, "Miss Wen likes nice hands."
"Mm." Xu Jianfan replied as he opened the car door.
Pan He stopped in front of the driver's door and looked at him, like an NPC specifically giving hints to the player: "You have them."
Xu Jianfan raised a hand in a "stop" gesture, smiling as he distanced himself: "I don't."
"Our Miss Wen said my hands are suitable for moving bricks."
Pan He: "...?"
What kind of unfathomable logic is this?
...
Wen Shixue sat in the passenger seat, propping her head and silently watching the cars outside, her mind still on Pan He. According to Xu Jianfan, Pan He was dedicated and not rigid or inflexible, because he even helped Xu Jianfan rescue design drafts from his strict father's clutches.
Overall, he was a good person, not a suffocating problem, and his hands were nice. As someone with a hand preference, she was completely satisfied, and her impression of this secretary instantly improved significantly. But speaking of hands...
She couldn't help but turn to look at Qin Zhen, who was driving seriously, her fingertips tapping her chin. The other woman was looking straight ahead, seemingly not noticing her gaze, and she fell into thought. Just now, she had praised someone else's hands in front of her girlfriend. Although she immediately praised her girlfriend's hands afterward, she was still very curious: did Qin Zhen feel even a momentary pang of jealousy?
Could the most rational Qin Zhen really get jealous when in love?
She didn't know, because in the past few months they'd been together, she had never seen Qin Zhen show any signs of jealousy over her. This suddenly made her very curious—she wanted to see Qin Zhen jealous, she liked seeing Qin Zhen act like she cared about her exceptionally.
Just as she was about to ask, Qin Zhen, completely unaware, spoke before her: "I'm leaving tonight. Be careful at home by yourself, and don't open the door for strangers."
Even with the best security in the complex, she couldn't help but repeatedly caution her girlfriend, who had so many ideas. She wished she could surround her with rows of bodyguards, enclosing her so tightly that no one could touch a single strand of her hair.
Wen Shixue's attention naturally shifted to her topic, and she said with a smile: "Worried?"
"If you're worried, then take me with you to have fun! Your little secretary can meet your roommates, especially Hanhan Jie."
She was quite curious. If she just showed up in front of Yu Hanhan like this, with her current hair volume, would Yu Hanhan guess she was Qin Zhen's little secretary, or would she automatically trigger the "evade the boss upon meeting" skill?
Qin Zhen's slender fingers tightened on the steering wheel, then relaxed. She didn't agree immediately, stopping in the traffic waiting for the red light.
Wen Shixue blinked silently. The next second, she saw Qin Zhen suddenly lean over and gently and affectionately kiss her with her soft red lips. Her eyes widened slightly. This was the first time Qin Zhen had been so proactive with her outside.
The kiss didn't last long, just a light touch, like a breeze across her lips. Following it was that beautifully structured hand, gently stroking her face, as if comforting her: "Next time, definitely."
She would introduce her to her best friends, but definitely not now. However, she was also afraid Wen Shixue would be unhappy, so she uncharacteristically initiated a comforting kiss at this red light, wanting her to know that she was more important to her than anyone else.
You can't just verbally coax a child; sometimes you have to give them candy.
Wen Shixue was very susceptible to her proactive gestures, especially outside the house, because it showed that Qin Zhen's heart was gradually wanting to be fearless of anyone's gaze and have this relationship openly with her.
She leaned back against the seat, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Qin Zhen, smiling: "Then it's settled, next time for sure. You can't go back on your word."
Qin Zhen nodded with a smile, then asked: "What do you want for dinner tonight? I'll make it before I leave."
Wen Shixue felt that would make her time very rushed, so she said: "No need, I can handle dinner myself."
Qin Zhen asked suspiciously: "What are you planning to eat?"
Wen Shixue smiled and casually replied: "Fries and cola?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
She suddenly felt a little like taking her out.
After personally watching Wen Shixue pack up a takeout order of coconut chicken stew to take home, Qin Zhen finally felt relieved. She packed two changes of clothes, and when the time was right, she prepared to leave early to pick up Yu Hanhan, and then go to the station to pick up her two roommates.
Just before leaving, Wen Shixue rushed down from the sofa, shuffling in her cotton slippers to the entrance, grabbed her hand, stood on tiptoe, kissed her cheek, and looked at her with a pair of almond eyes that were impossible to refuse: "Have fun."
"Although I can't spend New Year's Eve with you, I can still catch the tail end of New Year's Day with you, so come home early the day after tomorrow after you're done having fun!" She held her hand solemnly. "This is our first New Year's Day together."
Qin Zhen looked at her eagerly anticipating eyes and suddenly had a momentary illusion—the person in front of her wasn't her girlfriend, but her rightful wife, with whom she would spend her life. The engagement, the two-year period, none of it existed anymore; all that remained for them was a happy and fulfilling future.
And this was exactly what she had pursued before, a home that wasn't just hers alone.
She couldn't help but lean down to kiss her eyebrows and eyes, to kiss her lips, telling her: "Okay, I remember." Then she brushed aside her long hair and asked with a light laugh, "Shixue, do you know what you look like right now?"
"What?" Wen Shixue asked, puzzled.
Qin Zhen said: "Like a wife waiting for her other half to come home from work."
Wen Shixue paused, then retorted: "Not like."
She said: "I am your wife."
Before falling in love, she hadn't thought about long-term issues, believing that love was nothing more than mutual affection, and if it didn't work out, they'd separate. There was no need to necessarily pursue a lifelong companionship. But after falling for Qin Zhen, she changed. She started to be dissatisfied with just a few short months, and began to look forward to a longer lifetime, deciding that Qin Zhen was the one for this life.
Between them, either Qin Zhen married her, or she married Qin Zhen. There was no third option—the Little Demon King who stirred up trouble wouldn't be reasonable!
After saying that, she still wanted to tease Qin Zhen: "Come on, call me 'Wifey' and let me hear it."
Qin Zhen didn't know why, but being looked at by her with that little hooligan look made her even more embarrassed to say it. She kissed her one last time, turned around, and left, wanting to flee in embarrassment.
Wen Shixue leaned against the cold wall with her arms crossed, watching the black door close. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Her girlfriend... no, her wife was shy again, but she wanted to hear her call her 'Wifey' even more now!
After Qin Zhen left, she took out her phone and scrolled through the messages her friends had sent her, silently contemplating which one to go out with for New Year's Eve. After thinking it over, she realized she still wanted to spend New Year's Eve with her girlfriend. She couldn't help but sigh and randomly opened a group chat to send an emoji.
The people in the group chat knew she didn't drink alcohol, so they thoughtfully invited her to drink cola, indirectly inviting her out. She thought of Qin Zhen again and pursed her lips.
[Wen Shixue]: Not drinking
[Wen Shixue]: Quit
Everyone: Why on earth would you quit cola???
Looking at the people in the group chat who said they were spending New Year's Eve with their boyfriends/girlfriends, she felt a pang of melancholy. She had a girlfriend, but couldn't spend New Year's Eve with her. Life was truly lonely as snow, better to work.
Realizing she truly had no desire to go out, she actually went into the study and started dealing with work emails. On the last day of the year, she was still a diligent and good boss. With this kind of performance, she felt it would be absolutely unforgivable if her parents didn't cancel her engagement!
After spending forty minutes dealing with work, she walked back to the living room, her gaze slowly falling on the treadmill, her sworn enemy. After recovering from her illness, because of the busy year-end work, Qin Zhen hadn't rushed her to get on it, so she and the treadmill were still strangers.
But since she was so bored now, and the house was so quiet...
She walked towards the treadmill.
...
Qin Zhen and the other two arrived at the booked hot spring hotel. When dividing rooms, she shared one with Yu Hanhan. After settling their luggage, while the others were excitedly preparing to go soak in the hot springs, she went to the balcony to message Wen Shixue for a while.
[Qin Zhen]: Did you go out to have fun?
Wen Shixue replied quickly.
[Wen Shixue]: Don't want to have fun, it's boring without you to spend New Year's Eve with
Qin Zhen smiled softly. She could tell that the Little Demon King desperately wanted her to spend New Year's Eve with her.
[Qin Zhen]: I'll spend it with you in the future
[Qin Zhen]: What are you doing now?
[Wen Shixue]: Watching the treadmill run
Qin Zhen: "...?"
She read the sentence again, feeling like one of the verbs was wrong.
Shouldn't she be running on the treadmill?
[Qin Zhen]: Shixue, think carefully again, which one of you should be running?
Wen Shixue answered without hesitation.
[Wen Shixue]: It
[Wen Shixue]: Otherwise, why would it be called a treadmill!
Qin Zhen: "???"
Is a treadmill called a treadmill because it runs???
