Chapter 404 Do you want to have a child?
Qiao Xing was already used to his remarks, after all, he had never had the opportunity to study other people's nail art before.
In the end, the two decided to order takeout.
After dinner, Qiao Xing suddenly thought of Yang Han, wondering how their competition was going.
She took out her phone and searched for the latest match information. After watching the replay, she saw that they were almost at the round of 25, and it was clear that they were having a tough time in the later stages.
Qin Ce sat down next to her and put on the TV, which was showing international news. Qiao Xing would glance up at it every now and then.
He was actually watching it so intently.
Qiao Xing leaned on his shoulder and played on her phone. She chatted with Yang Han, who was having a headache because he was having a hard time playing games.
Qiao Xing could only offer verbal comfort and couldn't provide any substantial support.
She could tell that Yang Han was very resentful, constantly mentioning Qin Yi, that scoundrel, and even trying to get Qiao Xing to curse Qin Yi.
Qiao Xing couldn't help but chuckle. Qin Yi was probably still in solitary confinement; he hadn't heard from him for several days.
After chatting for a while and watching some videos, she started yawning non-stop.
Qin Ce, who was standing next to her, noticed and glanced at her. "Tired?"
"A little." Qiao Xing rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Now that I'm not working, I actually feel sleepy earlier.
Qin Ce suddenly turned off the TV, picked her up, and said, "Let's go to sleep."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, and by the time she realized what was happening, he had already carried her into the bedroom.
She quickly grabbed Qin Ce's arm, "Don't you have to work overtime lately?"
"No need, why work overtime?"
Qiao Xing blinked, momentarily speechless. What's the point of working overtime?
He used to work overtime until late at night every day, and she had to urge him to go to sleep, but since returning from Haishi, she hasn't seen him work overtime anymore.
He'd rather sit on the sofa with her watching boring TV than go to work overtime—that doesn't fit his workaholic persona at all.
While Qiao Xing was still in a daze, he had already pressed down on her, saying, "Even if I don't work overtime, I won't let you go hungry."
Qiao Xing looked a little embarrassed and avoided his breath, "Who asked you to support me?"
"If you don't want me to raise them, do you still want me to raise the child?"
"What child?"
Qin Ce pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to have children?"
This unexpected question stumped Qiao Xing, and she couldn't answer it for a moment. Sometimes she really wanted to have a child to play with, but sometimes the thought of the pain of childbirth made her hesitate.
After hesitating for a while, she whispered, "Let's wait a bit longer, I'm not ready yet."
After speaking, Qiao Xing stared into his dark eyes, as if he had something to say.
Qiao Xing tentatively asked, "Do you want to have a child?"
"If you want to..."
"I don't want to for now," Qin Ce said, immediately rejecting the idea.
"Then why are you looking at me like that?" Qiao Xing looked at him strangely, his hesitant expression making her think he really wanted to have a child.
Qin Ce said, "It's all used up."
Qiao Xing didn't react for a moment, "What, all used up?"
After saying that, she read the meaning of "used item" in Qin Ce's eyes, and a flush rose to her cheeks. For a moment, she was neither angry nor upset.
She pushed Qin Ce away, saying, "Then you should get some sleep, and we'll go buy it tomorrow."
Qin Ce sighed and lay down beside her.
Just from his action, Qiao Xing knew that he really didn't want to have children, which was why he wouldn't allow any accidents to happen.
Qiao Xing was very puzzled. Why didn't he want to have children?
Most men think about having more children as soon as possible, and for many men, having children is their first priority after marriage.
When it comes to him, having children is something he's so unwilling to do, even though it's not like he can't afford to raise them.
However, he didn't say anything, and Qiao Xing didn't ask either, so she could avoid suffering.
She got up, turned off the light, and went back to bed. This person had finally calmed down tonight, so she had to get up early tomorrow.
The next morning, Qiao Xing opened her eyes, picked up her phone and saw that it was only six o'clock.
But when I turned around, the person was gone!
Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat. He quickly got out of bed and looked into the kitchen, but his friend wasn't there. He then checked the shoes by the door and found that his sneakers were gone, meaning he had gone out for a run.
She happily ran back to the kitchen, took out ingredients from the refrigerator, and started making breakfast.
As Qiao Xing was cooking, she suddenly paused for a moment. Why was she so happy to have managed to get a spot in the kitchen?
This is too bizarre.
Qiao Xing shook her head and sighed, then continued cooking.
Just as she finished cooking, Qin Ce returned from outside. Seeing Qiao Xing busy in the living room, he frowned again.
Qiao Xing greeted him with a smile, "You're back! Come and have breakfast."
Qin Ce looked at her expressionlessly, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and when he came out, he still looked unhappy.
It was one thing for her to insist on cooking before, but now that she's quit her job, she's still getting up so early to cook, and that feeling of distance is back.
Qiao Xing, unaware of his inner thoughts, peeled an egg and put it in his bowl, saying, "Eat up, don't you have to go to work?"
"Why are you up so early?" Qin Ce asked.
Qiao Xing casually said, "Because I went to bed early last night, I woke up on my own after eight hours of sleep. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, I don't feel as sleepy as I used to."
"..."
Qin Ce picked up an egg and silently took a bite, suddenly feeling old.
Qiao Xing then thought of something else, "Oh right, how about you invite me when you go for a run in the future, and I'll go for a morning run with you?"
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, I don't have much to do right now, so I should get some exercise."
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay." Qiao Xing smiled and put the egg in his bowl again.
After eating, he went to work. Qiao Xing had nothing to do in the house, so she tidied up the house and then took out her driving test guide to continue watching videos.
The next day, Qin Ce kept his promise and woke her up early in the morning to go for a run.
Qiao Xing glanced at the time; it was five o'clock.
She put down her phone, instantly forgetting what she had said yesterday about exercising, and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.
"Let's go tomorrow, I'm so sleepy."
Upon seeing this, Qin Ce couldn't help but laugh.
He covered Qiao Xing with the blanket and then went out.
Qiao Xing dreamed that he went for a run and ran for a whole day and night. When he woke up, it was already dawn.
Not only this time, but for several days afterward, she was unable to get up.
She's been watching videos these past few days, filling up all the class time, and then started doing practice problems.
In just three days, his score went from 20 points to 50 points.
Qiao Xing counted on her fingers. At this rate, she would be able to score above 90 points in just a few days, right?
Qiao Xing was very satisfied with his learning speed and was just about to do another round of practice questions when his aunt called.
