SCHS - Chapter 112
Chapter 112
Wen Shixue's generous coming out on the show, publicly announcing her girlfriend, kept related topics trending on hot search for a full day. The sheer volume of discussion even caused the fragile server to buckle and crash. @Infinite Good Literature, all at Jinjiang Literature City
Meanwhile, the person in question, Wen Shixue, was leisurely lying at home, scrolling through the rescued Weibo to check netizens' reactions.
@SocialistSisterlyLove: I watched the livestream to see beautiful women, not to be tricked and slaughtered! [Tears][Tears][Tears]
@NationalFirstClassProtectedWaste: Qin Jie is gone, President Wen is gone, I'm heartbroken sob sob sob
@ReallyWantToEatCherriesOh: As expected, pretty older sisters like pretty older sisters. It's all my fault for not being good-looking, damn it!
@AlsoWantToSlackOffToday: I treated President Wen as my wife, but she got together with my wife! Then I declare I approve of this marriage, beautiful women sticking together is the best! [Smile gradually turning perverted]
@TodayAlsoWantToMuddleThrough: It's amazing to come out and publicly announce your girlfriend with such confidence! From today onwards, I'm shipping this couple. It'll be hard to end if they don't get married!
Wen Shixue strongly agreed with some of the comments, especially her favorite one: It'll be hard to end if they don't get married.
She felt the same way. Qin Zhen was so good to her, it would be truly hard to end things without marrying her.
Qin Zhen was in the study, receiving a barrage of messages from her roommates.
[Yu Hanhan]: When every single dog was slaughtered today, not a single word from Wen Shixue was innocent. A thousand words condensed into one: President Wen is awesome!
[Xue Yu]: That direct? Not bad, very strong and brave, actually crashed Weibo [Strong.JPG]
[Xue Yu]: Your two relationships, one unknown, one earth-shattering. Our little Wen is better. Xiao Qin, you must treat little Wen well.
[Song Zimeng]: Although it's sudden, I'm very happy. Our Qin Qin didn't choose the wrong person this time! [Song Zimeng]: Our Qin Qin must continue to be this happy!
[Song Zimeng]: It'll be hard to end if you two don't get married!
Qin Zhen's gaze lingered on the word "marriage." She wasn't a hasty person, so this word, to her, represented a lifelong choice, a gentle and sincere gift, giving her a home of her own, giving her a lover she could grow old with.
Her eyes unconsciously fell on the blue crystal ball on the bookshelf. Tiny snowflakes floated and swirled inside the crystal ball, enveloping the warmly lit little house—this was a gift Wen Shixue gave her when she first moved in, saying she felt her study was too dull and wanted to brighten it up, and she specifically chose the blue she liked.
She reached out, her fingertips touching the cold surface of the sphere. Her thoughts were pulled into memory, then pushed back to the present, causing a momentary trance, as if their first meeting was just yesterday.
Counting now, they had been together for almost a year... Time really flew by.
When she first met Wen Shixue, she never imagined this young lady would change her future.
After replying to Wen Yue, Wen Shixue turned to look at proposal experiences and videos shared by netizens, planning to learn from them and give Qin Zhen an unforgettable surprise.
But no matter how grand they were, she wasn't satisfied; she just couldn't capture that certain feeling. Then she heard Qin Zhen's footsteps, immediately swiped away the page, hid her little secret, and propped her head up, waiting for her.
As she approached, Wen Shixue proactively lifted the blanket, making space for her to lie down, and hugged her, whining, "What were you doing in the study? Why did you take so long to come back? Your wife missed you."
Qin Zhen couldn't help but chuckle at her words. She had only been in the study for less than six minutes, but she liked hearing Wen Shixue whine, so she didn't expose her. She stroked her smooth long hair again and again, answering softly, "I chatted with Hanhan and the others for a while."
Wen Shixue burrowed into her arms, "What did you talk about?"
Before Qin Zhen could answer, her phone chimed with two message notifications. When she opened it, she saw several lines of "haha" from Yu Hanhan. She frowned and scrolled up, opening the message Yu Hanhan sent before her crazy laughter. It was a screenshot of a netizen's comment about their hot search.
@IronHeartedBarbie: Dad's dad is Grandpa, Mom's mom is Grandma, wife's wife is still wife [Cute][Heart]
Qin Zhen: "..."
Are young people's thought processes this strange nowadays?
She put down her phone and turned to hug the person in her arms tightly—no matter what they called her, her Little Demon King wouldn't become "their" wife!
Wen Shixue, who didn't understand, said, "?"

Before Jiang Manwei's drama "Brilliant" officially premiered, Xu Jianfan finally delivered the proposal ring into Wen Shixue's hands, saving himself from the bitter fate of being rushed.
Wen Shixue opened the ring box and looked at it for a few moments. Xu Jianfan knew from her that Qin Zhen, like her, liked blue, so he specifically used a sapphire as blue as the sea, crafting it into a delicate five-pointed star, set on a unique ring, symbolizing the brightest star in the dark night.
The stars are vast, like the multitude of beings, but there is always one that belongs uniquely to us. She and Qin Zhen were each other's stars.
The ring's sparkle reflected in Wen Shixue's eyes, illuminating her beautiful almond-shaped eyes like stars, radiating a satisfied and gentle look. Closing the ring box, she smiled at Xu Jianfan and said, "Thanks! I'll transfer the money to you later."
Xu Jianfan patted her little head, "No need to give me money, this is what I should do. Besides, we're family, don't be so polite."
Throughout their journey, he kept in mind how much Wen Shixue had helped him. And if it weren't for Wen Shixue and Qin Zhen, he might still be hiding somewhere, his relationship with his parents strained. So he sincerely hoped Wen Shixue and Qin Zhen would be well and live happily together for the rest of their lives.
People should know how to repay kindness—that's what Chairman Xu once taught him.
Wen Shixue immediately pushed her luck, "Then design our wedding rings for me too, I won't be polite with you."
Xu Jianfan: "..."
He was amused and annoyed, pinching her face lightly, "Wen Shixue, are you not treating your brother's hair as hair, huh?" Because her face was so soft and easy to pinch, he couldn't resist pinching the other side too, kneading it like dough, "When are you planning to get married?"
Now everyone at Chenfeng knew how good President Wen and Vice President Qin's relationship was. Privately, they aptly referred to the two's daily life as "The Daily Life of the (Vice) President and His/Her Doting Wife," and many employees watching them had rekindled their own sparks of romance. So, for every staff member at Chenfeng, a failed proposal simply wouldn't happen between them.
Xu Jianfan felt the same way.
Wen Shixue slapped his hand away, righteously mimicking Xu Rangshan, "Take your pig trotters away, don't pinch Shixue sore!"
In Xu Jianfan's eyes, she was just an unyielding little kitten, her paws swatting without causing pain, unreasonably cute. He suddenly understood why his friend was so protective of his younger sister—as long as a sister is cute, no one in this world wouldn't like her!
Xu Jianfan smiled faintly and gently stroked her head again, "Alright, alright, no more pinching. So, when are you two planning to get married?"
Wen Shixue propped her chin with her finger and thought for a moment. This year was almost over, so getting married this year probably wouldn't work. Plus, she still had work to do, fulfilling the two-year agreement she made with Wen Lianchang. No matter how she thought about it, marriage could only be discussed next year—even if Jiang Manwei's "Brilliant" directly helped her double the profits, it would still be the case.
"Next year, I guess," she withdrew her finger and added casually, "Forget it, who cares. Let's put the ring on first to keep the wild bees and butterflies away from my Lao Qin!"
Xu Jianfan nodded and said, "There's a fireworks festival in Blue Sky City in a few days, it'll be very lively. If you're interested, you can go see it with Vice President Qin."
Hearing this, Wen Shixue's eyes suddenly lit up. She seemed to think of something, a look of surprise appearing on her face. She ran back to the office like the wind to find Qin Zhen, asking with great anticipation, "Lao Qin, let's go watch the fireworks in a few days?"
Qin Zhen slowly closed her folder and asked in confusion, "Are there fireworks recently?"
Wen Shixue propped her hands on the desk, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes sparkling, "Lao Xu said there's a fireworks festival in Blue Sky City in a few days. I want to go, do you want to go?"
Then her eyebrows drooped, instantly becoming pitiful and fragile. Even so, she still said considerately, "If you don't want to go, then we won't go..."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She really wanted to get a mirror and show it to her. Who in this world could refuse such a pitiful little child?
She put down the documents in her hand, lifted her face, and gently kissed her lips, "I want to go."
"I also want to see what kind of fireworks would make my Shixue so excited."
The fireworks festival officially started at 8:40 PM and ended at 9:00 PM. It was the weekend, and people were everywhere. Blue Sky City was packed, a sea of heads visible at a glance.
Wen Shixue didn't use a ticket. Instead, she held Qin Zhen's hand and entered the nearest five-star hotel. She had booked a high-floor room with a balcony view directly facing Blue Sky City well in advance.
She didn't like being squeezed in with people, and she planned to propose to Qin Zhen today. Blue Sky City was too noisy with so many people; what if Qin Zhen didn't hear her proposal? She would never allow such a tragic thing to happen to herself!
She had figured it out. Qin Zhen wasn't someone who liked extravagance. For her, ordinary days were more real. So she didn't plan to make the proposal earth-shattering. A touch of surprise blooming naturally would be enough to make it unforgettable for a lifetime.
The wind was strong at night. Standing on the balcony, her nose was red from the cold. She looked down at the time—exactly 8:30.
Qin Zhen walked up behind her, draped a scarf around her, wrapped her tightly in her own coat, and whispered in her ear, "Don't get sick."
Wen Shixue smiled, her eyes curving, "Don't worry, Teacher Qin supervises my exercise every day, I'm very healthy."
Qin Zhen hugged her a little tighter. Nestled in her arms, Wen Shixue's mind was already playing out how she would propose and how Qin Zhen would react. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, the smile in her eyes impossible to hide.
The sound of fireworks launching was ready to begin at 8:40. A brilliant cluster of flowers suddenly bloomed against the deep black sky, scattering specks of light that vanished into the night.
Qin Zhen turned her head slightly. Wen Shixue was watching the fireworks, while she was watching her.
Her rosy cheeks were illuminated by the colorful light of the fireworks, her eyes twinkling as if holding stars, even her long, thick eyelashes seemed to shimmer with captivating light. Every glance was a reason for her heart to stir and fall deeper.
This was the person she would love for the rest of her life.
The fireworks paused briefly. Wen Shixue heard Qin Zhen's voice by her ear, "Shixue."
The next second, the sound of fireworks blooming rang out clearly again, both proud and passionate. Even so, Wen Shixue still heard Qin Zhen ask clearly by her ear, "Do you want to be—"
"—my Mrs. Qin?"
Wen Shixue was stunned, turning her head sharply to look at her, and saw her smiling gently, saying, "Let's get married."
Her smile was even more beautiful than the fireworks tonight, leaving Wen Shixue momentarily lost in thought, suddenly forgetting why she had come here.
She was supposed to propose to her, but she was beaten to it...
Qin Zhen took out the proposal ring, gazing at her with anticipation and tenderness.
Wen Shixue looked at it and immediately snapped back to reality. She never expected that even their proposal rings would be a pair.
She couldn't help but laugh, her eyes curved like the crescent moon in the sky. She raised her hand, her tone playful and joyful.
"I approve of this marriage."
