Chapter 97: My wife's old-fashioned romance, the romance I like. ...

The cold wind was howling outside the window, and the north wind swept away the last leaf on the branch. The dead leaves flew over the branches and passed by the bird's nest built on the gray-brown grass branches between the branches, which was empty of a bird. This scene revealed the desolation and bleakness unique to snowy days.

The indoor central air conditioning and floor heating were operating simultaneously to create a stable temperature, which was enough for people to walk around the room in light clothing. It was just the right temperature. For Qiao Zhizheng, who was wearing fluffy snow monster pajamas, it was a little hot, but not hot enough to make her sweat.

At this moment, the pointed corners of the yeti's pajamas are sticking to the snow-white floor tiles. The kitten is struggling with the yeti's horns, and the puppy is barking at another yeti's horn. The scene looks like cats and dogs joining forces to fight against the dangerous monster that has invaded the house.

Their owner paid no attention to their brave struggle. Qiao Zhizheng felt as if his whole body was on fire, like a pool of melted butter. A surge of power ran from his lower abdomen to all parts of his body. When it reached his calves, his calves softened and he almost fell down due to exhaustion.

A pair of strong hands passed through her armpits and lifted her up. Qiao Zhizheng's heels were off the ground, with her toes lightly touching the ground. She lowered her eyes slightly to look at the water marks on her fair skin. Facing Qiao Zheng's naked eyes that seemed to want to swallow her into her stomach, she felt a little hot in the eyes and closed her eyes, not daring to look at her.

When she closed her eyes, it was not pure darkness. She could "see" a bright light in front of her eyes, and her senses became more acute. Qiao Zheng had been drinking milk for a long time, and her facial muscles were sore. She opened her mouth and a "pop" sound was made.

Qiao Zhizheng tentatively opened one eye, and Qiao Zheng relaxed the strength that was holding her. Qiao Zhizheng put her feet on solid ground and leaned in Qiao Zheng's arms.

Grandpa Qiao Zhizheng's wife had a slight headache. After receiving a breath of cool air, Qiao Zhizheng said softly, "Blow on the other side too."

Qiao Zheng naturally did as she wished.

As cold as the wind outside is, the spring breeze inside is as gentle.

After the kitten and the puppy lost sight of the two figures connected together, they followed their scent and scratched the door. "Meow meow meow" and "woof woof woof" mixed together, one after another. However, no one opened the door to see what was going on.

The spring breeze in the room brings out the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, and the air is filled with the scent of spring.

After the New Year, people returned to work, some went to work, some acted... and watched the director and the technical instructor fall in love.

After Qiao Zhizheng finished her scene, she sat on a chair to rest. She looked up at Xu Xunzhen and Wang Fu, then lowered her head and started typing to harass someone who was in a meeting.

"The honeymoon period is great, Jiao is inseparable from Meng Meng, and Meng is inseparable from Jiao. You touch my little hand, and I touch your little face."

"Oh~ I've almost forgotten what it's like to be in love."

"I'm so envious, so envious, so envious~"

"Dear Miss Qiao, your girlfriend has eaten her fill of dog food and feels empty inside. Ding Dong~ she needs you to send her some love to feed her."

"Let me test you. Do you know how long your girlfriend has been missing you?"

Qiao Zheng took a break from her busy schedule and replied, "3 hours and 48 minutes."

——This is calculated from the time the two of them go out in the morning.

——When we were apart temporarily, you already missed me.

Qiao Zhizheng: “Wrong~”

While listening to the CFO's report, Qiao Zheng multitasked and sent Qiao Zhizheng an emoticon of someone leaning sideways with their ears open.

Expressed the desire to hear more details.

Holding the thin body in his hand, he tapped rhythmically on the document in front of him, which satisfied Qiao Zheng's slight anxiety while waiting without affecting the person giving the report or the person listening to the report.

The black screen in her hand lit up, and Qiao Zhizheng replied, "It's 15 hours and 50 minutes."

——Last night, when I thought about our separation the next day, I started to miss you.

Comes with an emoticon of a lonely cat with its head down.

Qiao Zheng smiled and replied, "I'll treat you to a sweet afternoon tea. Don't be unhappy."

Qiao Zheng not only invited Qiao Zhizheng, but also invited the entire crew, and gave it in Qiao Zhizheng's name.

While accepting the crew's thanks, Qiao Zhizheng murmured to herself with amusement, "Just a dessert is not enough to get rid of me."

Qiao Zhizheng scooped a spoonful of sweet jelly into her mouth, and yellow waste began to flow out of her mind, preparing for her own benefit in the evening.

The assistant came to Qiao Zhizheng with a man who was holding a large cardboard box.

"She said this is something President Qiao prepared for you."

Qiao Zhizheng lowered his head and sent a message to ask Qiao Zheng, and received a positive answer from Qiao Zheng.

The box is made of the most similar raw wood pulp cardboard, just like the cardboard box that the protagonist often holds in his arms when he leaves the company in movies and TV dramas.

Qiao Zhizheng couldn't help but wonder what was inside.

A cute doll with exquisite design?

A beautiful and exquisite little cake to take home after the show?

I can't give flowers. It's so old-fashioned to give flowers in front of so many people.

When Qiao Zhizheng opened the cardboard box, her sight was filled with colorful flowers. She didn't know where Qiao Zheng had found so many small flowers of various varieties and bright colors in such a cold weather. They were crowded together and smiling at her.

The vitality and rich fragrance rushed towards Qiao Zhizheng.

Qiao Zhizheng harvested a spring in winter.

"How old-fashioned..."

As Qiao Zhizheng said this, she couldn't control the smile on her face.

Flowers are synonymous with romance. This has been used over and over again for many years. Many unique and novel ideas have represented romance, but only flowers, after so many years, are the first thing that comes to mind when people talk about romance.

Old-fashioned romance, the kind of romance I like.

Qiao Zhizheng wanted to take the cardboard box from the deliveryman, but the deliveryman shook his head, saying it was a bit heavy.

Only then did Qiao Zhizheng see that there was a wooden board at the bottom of the big cardboard box. The roots of these small flowers of different varieties were hidden in the soil, and each had its own small flowerpot.

What Qiao Zhizheng was thinking at this moment was that the terrace in the room was rather plain except for two pots of spider plants, so she could put these small flowers there to decorate the terrace.

Then I thought, it’s cold now, so I’d better keep them indoors. The temperature and humidity in the house are constant, and these little flowers can survive safely until the end of winter, as the warm spring is coming soon.

Qiao Zhizheng asked his assistant to take the deliveryman to move several flower pots in the cardboard box to the RV.

Facing the envious eyes of the others, he turned back and saw Xu Xunzhen and Wang Fu looking at him at the same time. Their expressions were the same. Their faces were full of "learned it".

For some reason, Qiao Zhizheng felt proud in front of them.

It was as if an invisible contest was going on, which only he knew... and Qiao Zheng knew.

Qiao Zhizheng sent her inexplicable thoughts to Qiao Zheng and asked her, "Am I being too self-indulgent?"

Xu Xunzhen and Wang Fu never expected Qiao Zhizheng's secret comparison and independent victory.

Qiao Zheng sent a voice message, her tone soft and gentle, like a spring flowing over a smooth stone wall, carrying a soothing and gentle power. "To that self-indulgent person, there's also someone like me who loves to show off our affection. I wish the whole world knew that I like you and love you, so that those who have feelings for you will stay away from you. It would be best if all young couples would envy and hate us."

Qiao Zheng's words shattered the self-righteous shame in Qiao Zhizheng's heart. She bit her lower lip with her right canine teeth, kicked the wall with the tip of her shoe, and said shyly, "How about I hold a press conference for you?"

Qiao Zhizheng was so overwhelmed with joy that she didn't know how to respond. She said this deliberately as a joke, but she didn't expect Qiao Zheng to respond with a tone that sounded as if she was considering it. "I think it's possible."

The relationship between the two has already been made public, so holding another press conference is really unnecessary.

Qiao Zhizheng dragged out a soft tone, pretending to be embarrassed and annoyed, and said: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously..."

Qiao Zheng didn't say anything.

Qiao Zhizheng continued to knock her.

After a while, Qiao Zheng replied "ok".

Feeling that something was wrong, Qiao Zhizheng went to Qiao Zheng's Weibo without hesitation.

When Qiao Zhizheng saw the latest Weibo post that was posted just now, she put down her phone and covered her face, which had turned red with shyness, with her hands.

Qiao Zheng’s Weibo post contained just one simple sentence: I missed her for the fourth hour and two minutes, and she missed me for the sixteenth hour and four minutes.

Okay, okay, the whole world knows that you miss me and I miss you.

The assistant came over to remind Qiao Zhizheng that it was time for the next scene. Qiao Zhizheng blinked, raised her hands to rub her face to suppress the blush on her face, and got back into the filming state.

Take it seriously, finish shooting early and go to your sweetheart early!

The transition from winter to spring is very quick. In the blink of an eye, we have taken off our heavy winter clothes and put on light spring clothes.

The spring breeze is warm, the grass is green, and the birds are singing. It is a good season for couples in love to warm up their feelings, and it is also a good time for romantic films to be released. "Tower of Love 12" was officially released in theaters in the warm spring sunshine.

At this time, "Above the Stars" had been successfully completed, and Qiao Zhizheng settled down to attend classes seriously and earn credits. As time went by, Qiao Zhizheng sometimes felt that the entertainment industry was like a dream, full of illusory bubbles. The bubbles in the entertainment industry were beautiful and huge, shining with colorful lights under the bright spotlights. Only by entering the bubble, can you know the dirt and darkness that people outside the bubble don't know about.

Only when she saw Qiao Zheng coming to pick her up after school every day would Qiao Zhizheng come out of this immersed sense of illusion. She would not care about the curious looks of others and would throw herself into Qiao Zheng's arms.

Fortunately, Qiao Zheng was well prepared, with her lower body firmly planted on the ground, and she caught the energetic Qiao Zhizheng who was charging forward.

Qiao Zhizheng buried her head in Qiao Zheng's neck, the hot air flowing along her ear canal. She said in a coquettish tone, seemingly complaining, "Shouldn't you pick me up and spin me around a few more times now?"

Well, this is completely due to being poisoned by idol dramas.

When Qiao Zheng reacted, she had already lifted Qiao Zhizheng up. Qiao Zhizheng's calves bent backwards and hung in the air. Qiao Zheng turned around while holding Qiao Zhizheng.

Qiao Zhizheng smiled with satisfaction. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but smile too.

After getting into the car, Qiao Zhizheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Qiao Zheng, who was in the driver's seat and starting the car: "Where are you taking me today?"

Qiao Zheng stepped on the accelerator and merged into the traffic. "Of course, I'm supporting my wife's career."

Qiao Zhizheng opened her eyes wide: "???!!! Why are you suddenly calling me like that?"

I've never seen you scream before...

As for me, every time these two words came to my lips, I felt my mouth burning and shyness blocked my throat. I opened my mouth several times to speak, my face turned red, and I couldn't successfully say these two words.
