Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Workaholic Dad 21

Perhaps it was Xue Xiaoting and Zhuo Zhuo's interactions that turned on Zhao Xian and the others. They suddenly realized Qin Jin was an older, single man, and they kept urging him to get married. Zhuo Zhuo, Qin Jin's closest friend, had become their little tool.

Zhuozhuo didn't understand at first. After curiously asking Qin Jin why he didn't have a wife, she stopped expressing any opinion. But when she turned six and started elementary school, and moved to her own room to sleep, she suddenly began to understand a little.

Zhuozhuo stood in the room that had become much more spacious after the small nest was demolished, looking at the lonely big nest and said worriedly, "Dad, you're an empty-nest old man now, and you don't even have a wife. You're so pitiful."

Qin Jin's forehead vein jumped. "Having a wife or not has nothing to do with being pitiful." After a pause, he couldn't help but correct her, "Dad is only 32 years old this year. He's very young, not old at all."

Zhuozhuo said naively and seriously, "But you are twenty-six years older than me!" The little guy used all his arithmetic knowledge to calculate the age difference.

"You're too young." Qin Jin pressed the top of Zhuo Zhuo's head and changed the subject. "Teacher Wei is coming, aren't you going to get ready?"

As Zhuozhuo grew up, she needed to develop various skills. Qin Jin didn't set high expectations for her. He didn't expect her to achieve great success in any field. He just wanted her to be influenced by him and learn what she needed to know.

Zhuozhuo was deeply interested in painting. After comparing different styles, she preferred traditional Chinese painting, so Qin Jin invited a renowned Chinese painter to teach her. Zhuozhuo respected and loved Teacher Wei, and every time class started, she would rush to the fountain to greet him personally.

Zhuozhuo glanced at the time and said angrily as he walked out, "Dad, please don't take my words lightly. I feel so bad that no one is with you."

In the past three years, with Qin Jin's company, Zhuo Zhuo is no longer the child who would not cry even when living alone in the ICU. She is very dependent on adults. When she first separated from Qin Jin, Zhuo Zhuo would feel that the surroundings were too quiet and unhappy when she lay in bed at night.

After several nights in a row, 9972 told Zhuozhuo that this feeling was loneliness.

Zhuozhuo truly understood loneliness at that moment. She thought, she had 9972 to accompany her, but Qin Jin's father was really alone.

A six-year-old child is already very thoughtful. Zhuozhuo even thought about how lonely Qin Jin was working alone when she was in school. Because everyone in the company was just Qin Jin's employees and subordinates, not his friends or family.

Qin Jin's heart seemed to be held in the palm of Zhuo Zhuo's hand and gently rubbed, feeling sore and hot. He smiled and said, "Dad doesn't need anyone else to accompany him."

"But Zhuozhuo has always been with Dad." Zhuozhuo held Qin Jin's hand and said with concern: "Dad will be lonely if I'm not around."

Such an innocent sentence made Qin Jin and 9972 experience a tsunami in their hearts at the same time.

Qin Jin knew that he hadn't slept for four days since they'd separated. He'd thought it was just a transitional period, but now he realized it was loneliness.

Before meeting Zhuozhuo, Qin Jin had never felt lonely, because he had never experienced companionship. Now, he suddenly realized that loneliness was like salty seawater, slowly seeping into his mouth and nose, drowning him.

9972 suddenly understood why the previous host always failed in the mission.

Qin Jin does not need redemption because the loneliness of his childhood did not hurt him. He closed and locked the gate of this emotional need before he was hurt.

But when I felt true companionship again, the door and lock melted away as if they had encountered their natural enemy, and the needs that had been suppressed for nearly thirty years surged out, grabbing at them madly.

Previous hosts had impure motives in approaching Qin Jin, and were often isolated by Qin Jin at first sight. They were unable to accompany him for a long time, and of course could not establish an emotional connection with him, let alone exert any influence on him, so the mission would naturally fail.

Zhuozhuo, on the other hand, was harmless, pure, and as blank as a sheet of paper. She completely depended on Qin Jin for survival, and she could easily break through Qin Jin's barriers and be accepted by him. After that, Zhuozhuo didn't need to do anything to accompany Qin Jin and awaken his dormant emotional needs.

What's more, Zhuozhuo is so cute and smart. She rushed into Qin Jin's heart on the day they met and lived with him.

There is hope for this world's mission!

9972 took a deep breath, feeling the surprise and disbelief of someone who had just picked up a lottery ticket on the street and won first prize. Was this what it meant to be good and to be rewarded? Out of a moment of remorse, it had bound itself to Zhuozhuo, and Zhuozhuo had given it such a huge gift!

Zhuozhuo was unaware of 9972's excitement and looked up at Qin Jin, "Dad, come and watch me in class."

Learning Chinese painting is boring, and without interest and talent, it's hard to stick with it. Zhuozhuo herself found it fascinating, but she once invited Qin Xi to join her, but Qin Xi dozed off after ten minutes, and Zhuozhuo never invited her to join them again.

But today, Zhuozhuo just felt Qin Jin's loneliness and couldn't leave his old father, so he acted coquettishly and pulled him into the studio.

Perhaps love is needed to do anything, and with love comes patience and interest. Qin Jin is a senior daughter slave who finds it interesting to watch Zhuozhuo sleeping. Now he finds it even more interesting and cute to watch Zhuozhuo in class. He simply enjoys it. He wants to go to school to get the surveillance camera of Zhuozhuo in the classroom and check it whenever he wants.

But Zhuozhuo was worried that Qin Jin would feel bored, so he would whisper to him about his thoughts during class, and chatter non-stop during practice, talking about what he had drawn before, what he was drawing now, where the flaws were, and where he had improved.

Originally, it was Zhuozhuo himself who was speaking, with Qin Jin occasionally chiming in or raising questions. But when Teacher Wei approached and heard Zhuozhuo's words, he was surprised to discover that this child was not only talented, but also had a rare and accurate and objective understanding of himself. Zhuozhuo's self-reflection was something many adults couldn't achieve.

Teacher Wei's love for talent was burning brightly. He had originally wanted to take Zhuozhuo as his disciple, and now he didn't want to test her anymore. He directly guided Zhuozhuo with the attitude of teaching a disciple, and increased the difficulty of the homework again based on her performance.

In the second half, Zhuozhuo finished her homework diligently and gradually fell silent. But Qin Jin showed no impatience at all. His expression was gentle as he quietly watched her focused expression, which sometimes showed signs of distress, sometimes flashes of inspiration, and sometimes tangled.

As time went by, Zhuozhuo got used to living alone in a room, but the idea of ​​finding a wife for Qin Jin became stronger and stronger. After realizing Qin Jin's loneliness, Zhuozhuo observed his life and found that besides work, he spent all his time with her.

Qin Jin had nothing else to do and no one else to play with.

9972 understands Qin Jin's situation better. He has always been focused on one thing since he was a child. When Qin Jin puts his energy into raising his children, there is nothing else that can attract his attention until he finishes this thing.

However, 9972 did not tell Zhuozhuo about this. Zhuozhuo's concern for Qin Jin was a positive interaction between father and daughter and did not need to be interfered with.

Zhuozhuo couldn't understand why, at her age, she was receiving so much messy information from the outside world that she started to have wild thoughts.

Zhuozhuo sometimes wondered if he was too clingy, preventing Qin Jin from finding a wife. Sometimes he thought he was a burden, and that her presence was the only reason no one wanted to marry Qin Jin. Sometimes he thought Qin Jin was too much of a homebody, interacting with too few people, which was why he couldn't find the right one.

Zhuozhuo's troubles were never kept to herself, but she would share them with Qin Jin, who would effectively comfort her. However, even Qin Jin himself didn't understand the last one. He went to work and socialized every day, attending various events and banquets. Is this called staying at home?

When questioned, Zhuozhuo said confidently and earnestly, "Dad, you stay at the company during the day and at home at night. Pretty sister works during the day, and you work too. Pretty sister goes out shopping and eating at night, and you stay at home with me watching TV and doing homework. You don't even see Pretty sister, so how are you going to find a wife?"

Qin Jin never thought that one day he would be urged by his daughter to go out and play at night. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, "You think it makes sense."

Zhuozhuo raised his head proudly, and then Qin Jin pinched his nose. He said helplessly: "You are the one who is pushing the most to get married in your family."

Qin Jin had no interest in marriage before, and didn't care what others said about him. But after being urged by Zhuo Zhuo, he had to think about it. Then, Qin Jin found that he simply couldn't imagine living with another person. He couldn't accept it, and he resisted.

Qin Jin almost obeyed Zhuo Zhuo in everything, but this matter was not going his way.

"Stop pushing me." After Zhuo Zhuo slapped her hand away, Qin Jin rubbed her little head and spoke first, "I heard from the laboratory that Wangwang's upgrade is complete. Let's go pick him up."

Over the past three years, the lab's research has been non-stop, and every time they make progress, they send a copy of the finished product to Qin Jin. After learning that Zhuo Zhuo likes Wang Wang and doesn't want to get a new pet, the lab stopped sending new ones and instead took Wang Wang back to upgrade.

Zhuozhuo had gotten used to it and followed Qin Jin to the laboratory.

Dr. Wei had just pulled two long nights and looked exhausted and dazed. But when he saw Zhuozhuo, he immediately perked up, a kind smile on his face, and he kept the mystery going: "Zhuozhuo, guess what changes have happened to Wangwang this time?"

After three years of upgrades, Wangwang, who was already very good, has become even more versatile and intelligent. In particular, its interactive system is simply world-leading. Sometimes it communicates with Zhuozhuo just like a human.

Zhuozhuo thought that Wangwang had upgraded the interactive system this time, so he asked curiously, "Can Wangwang dance with me now?"

Dr. Wei didn't answer. He kept a mysterious smile and led Zhuozhuo to a door. "Zhuozhuo, go and see for yourself."

Zhuozhuo was extremely curious and raised his hand to turn the doorknob. Suddenly, he heard a slight sound, and the doorknob turned by itself, and then the door opened from the inside.
