Chapter 91 What's in the Box



The old man goes to bed early, takes a walk after dinner and then goes to sleep.

Now there is only one room left in the house.

The two of them looked at the big bed in the middle of the room. In the quiet room, only the two people's awkward breathing could be heard.

After looking for a long time, Qin Zunxian said, "Go take a shower first. I still have some official business to attend to."

"Oh, okay." Tonghua answered weakly. She felt extremely nervous at the thought of sleeping in the same bed with her.

After Qin Zun finished speaking, he left the room and went to the study to work.

Seeing the other person leave, Tonghua didn't know what she felt at the moment. She seemed to relax all of a sudden, but also seemed a little lost.

It's strange, what am I missing? It makes me feel like I'm expecting something.

Last time we almost had a fight, and this time I didn’t expect to have to sleep in the same bed again.

She patted her red face and stopped herself from thinking any further.

She opened the closet and found her pajamas.

Qin Zun accompanied her to buy this pajamas. She didn't have extra money to buy pajamas before, so she used old clothes as pajamas. She saved as much as she could.

But ever since Qin Zun saw that she only had so few clothes, he couldn't stand it anymore and insisted on dragging her to the mall to buy clothes. He bought a lot of clothes, even three sets of pajamas at once.

She touched the silky and soft pajamas, feeling very complicated.

When Tonghua walked into the bathroom, she was shocked. She didn’t notice it the last time she came here. This bathroom was so big.

There is even a big bathtub!

This made Fairy Tale a little excited.

Having a bathtub at home is probably something every girl has fantasized about before, and she is no exception.

Because it was her first time using a bathtub, she soaked in it for a long time without realizing it. Her skin even turned white, and she came out reluctantly.

After she finished taking a shower and dried her hair, Qin Zun still didn't come in.

She didn't know what to do.

Should we ask him to come in?

It's impossible to let him sleep in the study. There is no bed or even a sofa there.

But what if that happens again?

Is she going to reject him a second time?

This question made her very confused, and she rolled around on the bed involuntarily.

In the end, they all rolled over and fell asleep, and Qin Zun didn't come in.

Qin Zun was busy in the office all night and didn't return to his room until morning.

At this time, Tonghua had already gotten up, washed, and was ready to go downstairs to make breakfast.

Seeing Qin Zun who had just returned to the room, she couldn't tell what she felt.

She spent the whole night thinking about all the possibilities that might happen.

But she never expected that he would rather stay in the office all night than sleep in the same room with her.

Is it because she rejected him harshly last time?

Then she comforted herself, this is a good thing, isn't it? She doesn't have to be a bad person again.

But she still felt depressed.

Feeling depressed, Tonghua was preparing breakfast downstairs when she suddenly heard the old man calling her to the living room.

She wiped her hands clean before walking out of the kitchen and saw the old man standing in the middle of the living room with a very serious expression.

"Tong girl, this is for you."

He took out a box of very quaint design and handed it to Tonghua.

The packaging looked very expensive, so Tonghua didn't dare to accept it. She said in panic, "I can't accept this. I feel guilty about it."

But Old Master Qin said in an unquestionable manner: "When elders give younger generations something, younger generations should accept it. Don't say too much."

Seeing the old man's serious expression, Tonghua had no choice but to accept it.

She took the box in her hands and put it in her arms.

The old man asked her to pack up her things and then let her do her own thing.

Tonghua took the things and walked to Qin Zun's room.

Qin Zun is washing up now. Even if he hasn't slept all night, he still keeps the habit of washing up in the morning.

"Grandpa, you just gave me this and asked me to take it, but I think it's better to keep it with you."

Tonghua handed the box to him. Qin Zun took a look and said:

"Since this thing is given to you, it is naturally yours. How can you leave it with me?"

"But what if there are valuables inside?"

"What if it's valuable? What if it's not valuable? Since he gave it to you, it means he recognizes you. You don't have to be embarrassed to accept it."

"Oh well."

She hasn't opened the box yet to see what's inside.

She opened the box now and saw that what was inside was different from what she expected.

She thought it was a gold bracelet, or jade or something like that. After all, aren't these what heirlooms are?

It turned out that there was a white stone inside.

She took it out and looked at it. It emitted a crystal clear light under the sunlight and felt heavy in her hand.

"What the hell is this?"

"What the old man gave you is naturally a good thing, just keep it."

When the two went downstairs, they found that there was no one downstairs.

Tonghua searched downstairs everywhere but couldn't find Mr. Qin.

Seeing his unhurried expression and his leisurely sitting on a chair preparing to eat, Tonghua felt speechless.

"You don't even care where grandpa is."

"It's okay, don't worry, he must have gone home."

"Impossible! How could he leave without even having breakfast? And how could an old man like him go home without you even driving him?"

Qin Zun explained: "Don't worry, someone will take the old man back."

When he saw the old man giving things to Tonghua early in the morning, he guessed that the old man must have gone back.

Although the old man is alone now, in fact, there are other people around him who are protecting him.

It's just not in the open.

The old man is so old and has seen all kinds of ups and downs.

I remember when the old man was young, he traveled all over the country to make a living.

I don’t know how many dangers I have encountered in my life.

At that time, public security was much worse than it is now, and most people did not go out at night.

Now the country is prosperous and the public security is better.

Seeing Qin Zun's relaxed look, Tonghua had no choice but to believe that someone else had taken the old man away.

Qin Zun looked at the breakfast on the table and asked, "Why is there pancake for breakfast today?"

Who has nothing better to do in the morning than to eat pancakes?

"I thought my grandfather was too old to eat Western food, so I made pancakes according to his request. But he left without eating a single bite. This was my first time making pancakes. I wanted to try it and see how it tasted."

Qin Zun took a tentative bite of the cake.

The feeling is indescribable.

He put the cake back into the bowl and said, "Well, I'll keep it for you."

Tonghua sat down and looked at him: "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"

"I can only say that it's a good thing the old man was smart and didn't get to eat your cake."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

Tonghua picked up the pancake and took a bite.

Uh, so hard.
