Chapter 8 I Like You Too

Many people present felt sour in their hearts, as if they had eaten green grapes, and they didn't understand why Qin Gong saw in Zhang Yuzhen.

If they had known that he would be so easy to win over, they would have introduced their eldest daughter to him, and there would be no chance for the second-married daughter of the Zhang family to take advantage of the opportunity.

The unrefined man rolled his eyes, and while Wang Fengxian and the others were dealing with the neighbors' questions, he suddenly pushed the virgin girl into Qin Fengnian's arms, saying bluntly, "Mr. Qin, what do you think of our Caixia? She's only eighteen and looks so beautiful."

The girl named Caixia blushed and fell towards the tall figure at a loss.

They thought that even if he was not satisfied, he would at least give a hand. As long as there was physical contact, there was no man who would not be interested.

Unexpectedly, Qin Fengnian took a step back, which was beyond their expectation. Rong Zhen, who had been standing side by side with him, took a step forward in perfect coordination and held Miss Caixia firmly in time, preventing her from getting hurt at all.

Caixia closed her eyes and didn't see it, but she felt that there was something wrong with this embrace. Why was it so fragrant and soft?

Rong Zhen supported her and noticed her trembling eyelashes. She asked gently, "Comrade Caixia, are you okay?"

Caixia opened her eyes and saw that it was her. She couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or embarrassed. She hurriedly pushed her away, covered her face and ran away.

The crowd roared with laughter.

Wang Fengxian heard the noise and turned around to see it. She couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "You're courting death! How dare you steal our Zhang family's son-in-law? Why don't you just take a piss and see if you're worthy enough?"

Caixia's father kept complaining, saying that no matter how unworthy they were, it was still better than your divorced second marriage with two kids, right?

When Zhang and his son heard this, they almost punched him.

Rong Zhen was pushed back into Qin Fengnian's arms.

This time he didn't move at all.

Anyone with eyes can see what it means.

It's not that Qin Gong is not picky, it's just that if something doesn't meet his standards, he won't accept it no matter how good it is. On the contrary, no matter how bad others think it is, he will still treasure it.

Then what are they thinking about? Don’t let them not only fail to intercept but also offend others.

The surrounding neighbors tactfully made way, and Rong Zhen was finally able to escape and personally escorted Qin Fengnian to the gate.

The night was pitch black, with only the street lights emitting a dim glow, illuminating a small area from a long distance.

Rongzhen looked around and asked him, "It's so late, why are you going back?"

Qin Fengnian lowered his eyes and looked at her, a smile on his face. "I guess I can't go back. How about I stay overnight?"

Rong Zhen glanced at him and thought it was wishful thinking.

Qin Fengnian clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then walked to a big tree and pushed out a locked 28-inch bicycle.

He came here by bicycle, so naturally he rode a bicycle back.

"Then be careful on the road and don't ride too fast." Rong Zhen reminded him and tied the return gift that Wang Fengxian had prepared early in the morning to his handlebars.

Qin Fengnian got on his bike and prepared to leave, but when he reached the dim shadow of the trees, he turned around and waved to her.

Rongzhen was puzzled: "What?"

Qin Fengnian said mysteriously, "Come here, I'll give you a parting gift."

What's that parting gift? Rongzhen ran up curiously.

Qin Fengnian took out a small tube of medicine and gave it to her.

"What is this?" Rong Zhen looked at it over and over again, but found no label and only smelled a faint medicinal fragrance.

Qin Fengnian leaned over and whispered in his ear, "If there's a wound there, rub it a few times and it will heal."

Rong Zhen's expression was blank for two seconds before she understood what he meant. She stammered, "You, you, how could you have such a thing?"

Qin Fengnian touched his ear and said that he had gotten a prescription specially from the hospital, and that it was very effective in treating that kind of injury. There was also another tube for wiping hands, which he also took out and gave to her.

Rongzhen felt his affection, and a warm current flowed through her body. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss the side of his face, "Thank you."

Qin Fengnian lowered his head and stared at her. Suddenly, he held her shoulders and gently kissed her forehead. "There's no need to say thank you between lovers. This is what I should do."

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, the kind that could make you pregnant just by hearing it.

Coupled with the warm touch on her forehead, Rongzhen's face suddenly turned red and her heart was pounding.

She admitted that she was aroused by him and was too embarrassed to look up.

Then, his chin was lifted by bony fingers.

Rong Zhen's clear eyes met Qin Fengnian's deep and mysterious phoenix eyes, and the hidden desire in her heart was instantly aroused and ready to explode.

Qin Fengnian suddenly approached, tilted his handsome face slightly, and held her pink lips tightly, grinding them slowly, like a puppy licking a person.

Rongzhen's mouth felt itchy and she couldn't help but let out a laugh.

Qin Fengnian froze in his licking motion, and asked her hoarsely, "What are you laughing at?"

Rongzhen couldn't hold back her laughter at all, and she chuckled and tried to step away, but his big hand immediately pressed the back of her head, demanding an explanation.

Rongzhen had no choice but to say, "I'm not laughing, I just thought that you weren't like this that night."

He was so fierce that night, rushing around recklessly, kissing her so hard that her teeth ached and her lips were almost broken. Now she knows how to be slow, gentle and reserved.

Qin Fengnian recalled what happened that night, and suddenly he felt an impulse. He immediately loosened his hand as if it was burned. Finally, he said good night, got on his bike and fled.

Rong Zhen was laughing uncontrollably in the back, and her laughter reached the ears of Qin Fengnian, who had not ridden far away. He ran even faster and disappeared into the dark night in a blink of an eye.

When they returned to the front yard, the neighbors had already been sent away by Wang Fengxian and his wife, and Brother Zhang and his brother were cleaning and picking up leftovers.

Rong Zhen wanted to lend a hand, but Wang Fengxian sent her back to the backyard to rest, and asked Zhang's father to help her carry the two sleeping children back.

Rongzhen quickly refused: "You are tired too, don't bother Dad, I can take it away by myself."

The two little ones were not heavy. She carried a big one on her back and a small one in front, and returned home easily.

It was already late at night, and most people in the yard had fallen asleep. Under the starry sky, everything was silent. Occasionally, a night owl would jump over the wall, and a small insect would occasionally chirp softly in the grass at the foot of the wall.

"Mom." Chanchan woke up on her back, rubbing her eyes and looking around: "Where's stepfather? Why is he gone?"

Rongzhen listened to the sound of his own footsteps and replied with a smile: "He has finished his meal and left, little sleepyhead."

Chanchan rubbed her back and muttered that she hadn't been tested yet, so why did the person leave? She was not a sleepyhead.

She is the big sleepyhead! My sister is the little sleepyhead.

Juanjuan was sleeping soundly in Rongzhen's arms, unaware that her sister had given her a new nickname.

Chanchan continued to mutter, "Mom, this stepfather looks good, you should choose him." After that, she lay down again and fell into a deep sleep.

It is said that children are quick-witted and intelligent. How could she have made such a conclusion without even testing him seriously?

Rongzhen patted her little butt soothingly and took the two little ones home to sleep.

The next morning, Juanjuan woke up and whispered to her, "Mom, this uncle is very good. I agree that you two should be together."

Rongzhen pinched her upturned nose and said, "How do you know she's good? Have you tested her?"

Juanjuan the chick pecked at the rice and nodded very seriously.

Rong Zhen was puzzled. When did this girl test her? How come she didn't notice it?

Juanjuan raised her head proudly. Of course, this was tested while they were sitting at the table to eat. Her mother was so stupid.

Rongzhen recalled the seating order at that time and immediately understood her intention of grabbing a seat. She was really a smart little girl.

Although there was no work that day, the news that Qin Fengnian came to propose marriage spread throughout the machinery factory overnight. When he came on his bike to pick up Rongzhen for a date after dinner, he was stared at by many people.

Among the onlookers were not only people from the fifth family compound, but also people from other family compounds who heard the news and came to see whether it was true or not. They all blocked the gate, and the noise was as loud as a vegetable market.

If the old lady guarding the door hadn't been keeping a close eye on her, someone would have rushed in to see who Rongzhen was before she even got up.

When Rong Zhen received the letter Qin Fengnian handed in, she quickly packed up and rushed out, only to see him being surrounded by young men and women from the same factory, who were asking him questions.

Qin Fengnian spotted her in the crowded crowd. He immediately changed his silent and cold attitude and called her passionately: "Zhenzhen, now that you're out, do you want to go for a walk with me? We can stop by the department store and the Friendship Store to buy some wedding supplies."

The crowd around them said, "Mr. Qin, Comrade Zhang, are you really going to get married? Don't you want to think about it?"

Qin Fengnian smiled brightly, "I've thought about it a long time ago. Thank you all for your concern."

Rongzhen walked through the crowd and said, "The wedding date has been set. Don't forget to come and have a drink at the wedding."

This was such sad news that the gay men and lesbians present were heartbroken.

They thought it was just a rumor, but they didn't expect it to be true.

After sending everyone away, Qin Fengnian suggested that Rong Zhen bring the two little ones out as well. His 28-inch truck could easily carry them, so please trust his skills.

Rongzhen wanted to, but Juanjuan and Chanchan popped out from behind the door to protest: "No, no, we want to stay home and play with our cousin Maomao. We don't want to be a third wheel."

Maomao's big head popped out from Juanjuan's head. He smiled and waved, saying that he would take good care of his two younger sisters so that his aunt could go and find a partner without worry.

When the three of them shouted like that, the old lady guarding the door laughed so hard that her gums were exposed.

Rongzhen couldn't help but feel hot on her face. She sat on the back of the bicycle and urged Qin Fengnian to hurry up.

The first stop of the date was a breakfast shop. Although Rongzhen repeatedly said that she had eaten at home, Qin Fengnian still insisted on taking her in to eat more, saying that the dumplings there were delicious and were a beautiful childhood memory of his.

Rongzhen felt soft-hearted after hearing this and queued up to order a few baskets. The taste was indeed not bad.

Because it was an old state-owned store, the dumplings were generously filled and large in size, so she could not finish one basket, and the rest went into Qin Fengnian's stomach.

While he finished his meal quickly, Rongzhen watched him eat with her face in her hands, and he would stuff another one into her mouth from time to time. Anyone who saw it would know that they were dating.

When a gay man passing by who wanted to get to know her saw her, he had no time to think about it and had to give up with regret.

Qin Fengnian smiled and fed Rongzhen another sip of tea.

After finishing breakfast, Rongzhen was full, so she went to the park for a walk to digest the food.

Although it was early in the morning, there were more couples in the park than in the breakfast shop, and the two of them didn't seem out of place at all.

Qin Fengnian left the car at the gate and walked with her among the flowers. The morning breeze blew with the fragrance of grass and flowers, lifting the lingering black hair between the lovers.

Rong Zhen wanted to gather up her hair that had been blown down, and she raised her hand to touch Qin Fengnian's fingers that were ready to help her. They smiled at each other, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

"Qin Fengnian." Rong Zhen suddenly spoke facing the rising sun.

The person she called hummed and fixed his eyes on her.

Rong Zhen smiled and said the second half of the sentence.

"I like you, too."
