Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 468 Her Deaf Boyfriend (51)

Seeing Qin Zhen busying around, Xu Yanqing felt distressed, but he could not help much. He could only make some health-preserving soup for Qin Zhen to drink in his free time.

Qin Zhen's busy state continued until the New Year.

Just after Zhongtian Entertainment’s annual meeting ended, the city’s first snow fell, and Xu Yanqing had just finished his last day of work this year.

The snow in the south is always fine, and when it falls on the ground it only forms a small, thin layer, which is almost trampled away by everyone on the sidewalk.

If it weren't for a little white dust on the bushes, I wouldn't have noticed it was snowing.

Xu Yanqing walked out of the institute's gate and watched the snowflakes falling irregularly in the wind under the street lights, and quickly turned into water when they landed on the ground.

Xu Yanqing, holding an umbrella, turned and walked from the small path towards the staff apartment building. He saw Qin Zhen standing on the stairs from a distance.

He quickened his pace.

Everyone around was wrapped in down jackets, only Qin Zhen was wearing a thin-looking coat with a suit underneath.

"Why don't you wait upstairs?" Xu Yanqing frowned. "Are you cold?"

He held Qin Zhen in his arms and touched her hand, which was ice-cold.

Qin Zhen drank a lot of wine and wanted to cool down by blowing some cold wind.

"It's okay, I'm here to wait for you to get off work. Are you guys on vacation?"

"Yeah." Xu Yanqing said, "Send me a message in advance and I'll come out quickly."

"I just arrived too." A slightly drunken blush appeared on Qin Zhen's face, and she had a healthy complexion like the aristocratic woman in the oil painting.

"Let's go? Let's go to my place." Qin Zhen asked, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to go eat first?"

"Ate."

Xu Yanqing held an umbrella and walked with Qin Zhen to the car parked on the side of the road.

Seeing that there was no one in the car, Xu Yanqing was slightly stunned: "Did you drive here under the influence?"

Qin Zhen: "...Secretary Yu sent me here."

She stuffed the car keys into Xu Yanqing's hand: "You drive."

Xu Yanqing took a driving test during his graduate studies, but rarely drove.

He was a little nervous, so he didn't drive fast.

The heating in the car made Qin Zhen fall asleep leaning back in the seat.

Xu Yanqing caught a glimpse of Qin Zhen looking a little tired, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He thought of what Qin's father had said before.

If it were someone else, they might be able to give Qin Zhen more help, and she wouldn't have to work so hard.

Whenever Xu Yanqing had free time during this period, he would always think of this incident.

He is not a sentimental person, but whenever it comes to Qin Zhen, he always seems so indecisive.

...

"Zhenzhen."

Xu Yanqing squeezed Qin Zhen's hand and said, "We're here."

Qin Zhen opened his eyes and found that the car was parked in the parking lot on the basement floor of the apartment.

Xu Yanqing unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and opened Qin Zhen's door.

Qin Zhen was still sleepy: "Xu Yanqing, how about you carry me on your back?"

Xu Yanqing was stunned. Qin Zhen rarely acted like a spoiled child. He smiled a little: "Okay."

He squatted down, carried Qin Zhen on his back, and closed the car door.

Qin Zhen leaned on Xu Yanqing's back, and his thick down jacket made his shoulders look very thick.

Xu Yanqing has grown into a big tree...

Qin Zhen was thinking this in a daze when he smelled the scent from the laboratory on Xu Yanqing.

The smell of alcohol on Qin Zhen also drifted into Xu Yanqing's nose.

Qin Zhen looked tall, but he was not heavy. Xu Yanqing slowed down his pace and asked as he walked, "Did you drink a lot of wine tonight?"

"It's an annual meeting, so I have to drink the toasts from my subordinates. Besides, this is my first annual meeting since I took office." Qin Zhen tilted his head towards Xu Yanqing's right ear and answered slowly.

"You seem to have a lot of these social engagements lately."

"Well... in order to attract sponsorship, the company is currently in a period of transformation, and there are many business matters to discuss..."

"Tired?"

"Of course I'm tired, but this is my own choice."

"So, are you still going to work tomorrow?"

"It shouldn't be tomorrow. Except for some artists who have business activities, basically everyone else has the day off."

Xu Yanqing's steps were very steady, and Qin Zhen could hardly feel the bumps with his eyes closed.

The heat slowly spread from the other's neck to her face, making the warmth even more hypnotic.

"Xu Yanqing."

"Ok?"

"I want to tell you something."

"......it is good."

"Let's get married."

Xu Yanqing didn't expect Qin Zhen to mention the word marriage.

He was stunned.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Qin Zhen opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yanqing.

"Don't you want to marry me?"

"No, no." Xu Yanqing hurriedly explained: "I really want to, but... I'm a little worried."

"worry about what?"

At this time, the two were already in the elevator. Qin Zhen got off Xu Yanqing's back, took his hand and faced him.

However, Xu Yanqing didn't dare to look into Qin Zhen's eyes.

"look at me."

Qin Zhen directly straightened Xu Yanqing's face and forced him to look at him.

"what are you worried about?"

Xu Yanqing didn't say anything, but stared at Qin Zhen with his eyes. As he looked at her, tears started to form in his eyes, and a string of tiny beads fell from his eye sockets.

Qin Zhen: "...Why are you crying?"

Xu Yanqing hugged Qin Zhen, leaned against her neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm worried that I can't give you a good future. If you don't have me, you can find someone else... maybe they can help you a lot in your work."

It would be a lie to say that I don’t want to marry Qin Zhen.

He thought he could be a good partner and help Qin Zhen solve his problems. But the reality did not go as he wished, and he could not help Qin Zhen at all.

Seeing Qin Zhen working so hard, attending social events and working overtime, leaving home early and returning late, Xu Yanqing felt very distressed.

He likes Qin Zhen, he likes her very much, and he wants Qin Zhen to live a better life.

Qin Zhen knew at a glance that he had not yet gotten over the conversation that Qin's father had with him.

She said: "When I decided to take the position, it meant that I could accept the current busyness."

"Besides, the future is created by yourself, and the life you choose to live is also your own decision."

"With so many paths in life, can you be sure that choosing someone else would be a better outcome?"

Xu Yanqing still maintained the posture of bending over and hugging her.

Qin Zhen knew that if they didn't talk about it, the problems between them would always exist.

"Xu Yanqing, if you are always so unsteady, we will have many problems in the future."

Qin Zhen pushed Xu Yanqing away. The elevator had reached the floor at this time, and Qin Zhen turned around and walked out of the elevator.

Xu Yanqing followed closely behind with red eyes. He grabbed Qin Zhen's wrist and said quickly: "I'm sorry... Don't be angry."

"I, I just don't want you to regret it later..."

"Why do you think I will regret it later?" Qin Zhen frowned, turned to look at Xu Yanqing, and asked, "Do you not believe me, or do you not believe yourself?"
