Qin Ge gave the keys to his car to Xiao Liu and asked him to drive back to the company, while he drove Shengxia's car back.
In the evening, Feng Caiwei arrived first and saw Shengxia sitting in the living room. She jumped up from the sofa and opened the door for her: "Feng Caiwei! Look, Qin Ge proposed to me! You and Zhang Silin can't catch up with me!"
Shengxia smiled and showed off the ring on her hand. Feng Caiwei was a little surprised, but only for a moment. Shengxia and Qin Ge had been together for so many years. They went from high school to college and survived a long-distance relationship. Feng Caiwei had witnessed how difficult their lives were. Their relationship was still so good after so many years, so getting married was a natural thing.
Feng Caiwei was truly happy for Shengxia and Qin Ge and congratulated them repeatedly.
Zhang Xiaofen arrived after dark. Shengxia came downstairs, held out her hand, and showed her the ring on her hand: "Zhang Xiaofen! I'm back! Look! Qin Ge proposed to me! He proposed to me in the car as soon as I landed yesterday. My long-distance love affair is finally over!"
Zhang Xiaofen took out a big red envelope from her bosom and said, "It's a gift. Remember to return it to me when I get married."
Shengxia took it with a smile and said it was no problem. Feng Caiwei was sitting outside, and Shengxia and Qin Ge were short of staff in the kitchen, so she was called into the kitchen to help cut vegetables, leaving Zhang Xiaofen to make hot pot outside by herself.
The hot pot was put into the pot, steaming. The four of them sat down, opened the wine that Zhang Xiaofen had brought, and clinked glasses together.
Zhang Xiaofen drank first: "Shengxia, Feng Caiwei, first of all, let me welcome you both and congratulate you on finally returning to the embrace of the motherland! I heard from Qin Ge that it's not easy. Finally, you don't have to stay in those foreign places anymore. You are back to our own land. Do whatever you want. Qin Ge and I will take care of you! Secondly, I wish you a happy engagement and a long and happy marriage!"
Feng Caiwei blushed after drinking a glass of white wine, but she also raised her glass: "Shengxia, Brother Qin, I'm not very good at speaking, but I'm really happy for you. I wish you can be together forever!"
After finishing her drink, Shengxia nudged Qin Ge with her elbow and said, "Qin Ge, hurry up and toast Feng Caiwei a glass of wine. She took good care of me when we were in Berlin. You really have no tact!"
After her "lesson", Qin Ge cooperated very well and picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Feng Caiwei. Zhang Xiaofen couldn't stop smiling.
After a lively dinner, Shengxia was drunk and unconscious, and collapsed on the sofa. Feng Caiwei also collapsed on the sofa. Zhang Xiaofen and Qin Ge had been hanging out in bars for many years, and this was just a small amount of alcohol. They put a blanket on the two drunk people. Zhang Xiaofen saw Qin Ge smoking on the balcony, so she followed him to the balcony.
Zhang Xiaofen glanced at the ring on Qin Ge's hand and said, "Once you wear this ring, I don't know how many beautiful women will be tempted. If you marry them, you won't have to struggle in your life."
Qin Ge smiled knowingly: "Are you testing me on Shengxia's behalf? We've been together for how many years? Don't you know me well enough?"
"It's because I know you so well that I feel people like you are so rare."
Zhang Xiaofen said, "Qin Ge, I've been through some business, and men like you are really rare. Look at those of us who were in Beijing together back then. Even if they couldn't catch up with you, they all changed their wives all the time. Those who didn't change their wives also had a lot of mistresses and had a lot of girls out there. Or they were just like me, not having enough fun and not wanting to get married at all. But I've never seen anyone like you who can keep himself when his wife is not around."
Qin Ge said, "It's different in midsummer."
Zhang Xiaofen had played with many people over the years and didn't believe these polite words from the bottom of her heart: "What's the difference? Shengxia looks smart, but she's actually just a paper tiger that will be broken at the slightest poke. What if one day you change your mind and kick her out? She thinks everything you give her is hers now, but if she really gets serious, no matter how smart she is, she won't be able to outsmart you..."
"No." Qin Ge said: "Don't worry, there will never be such a day. No one can replace Shengxia for me."
"Ten or twenty years later, will you still think this way?"
Qin Ge said, "Zhang Xiaofen, Shengxia followed me when I was penniless. You haven't experienced that kind of life, where you had no food to eat and it felt like you could die in the house without anyone knowing. Only Shengxia made me feel like I was still alive. She made me understand what it felt like to be missed by others."
Qin Ge held the cigarette in his hand and raised his head, as if he had returned to the past. "Back then, I had to go to the car repair shop after school every day to pay for my tuition. She came to accompany me every night. I swore at that time that if she followed me, I would give her the best and most comfortable life for the rest of her life. I will also spend my whole life fulfilling this promise. Without Shengxia, there would be no me today. I have always known this in my heart."
After a long moment, Zhang Xiaofen sighed, "Okay, I'm jealous. It's not bad at all to know that you can't stand what others say, but I can actually find out so much about you."
Zhang Xiaofen glanced at Shengxia, who was soundly sleeping on the sofa. "But now that you mention it, I think Shengxia has become more sensible. I always thought that if you proposed to her, she would at least let you carry her all the way from Germany to Hai City with all the fanfare. I was ready to persuade her, but I didn't expect her to agree right away when you made the move. She's really improved."
How could Qin Ge not tell that she was joking? "I have spoiled Shengxia a little bit, but she always knows what she wants."
Zhang Xiaofen and Qin Ge talked for a while, and Shengxia in the room started calling Qin Ge. She stood up from the sofa, staggering. Qin Ge hurried into the room and hugged her. Zhang Xiaofen drove Feng Caiwei back.
Early the next morning, Qin Ge drove Shengxia to report to the research institute. Shengxia sat in the car and sighed that time passed so quickly. When they were in Qingshui, Qin Ge took her to school on a bicycle, and then they went to Haishi, and Qin Ge drove the car. Later, he took her to college, and later Qin Ge sent her on the plane. She completed her master's and doctoral studies abroad.
Now she and Qin Ge are both in their twenties, having grown from teenagers to young men. Qin Ge's cars are getting more expensive, and his position is getting higher and higher.
In the past, Shengxia would never have dared to think about taking this path, but in this life, she was pushed step by step by Qin Ge to this point.
If she could do it all over again, her life would be really different.
After the New Year, the weather warmed up a bit, and Feng Caiwei became the team leader of their department with her own ability. Feng Caiwei became Shengxia's leader, and Shengxia was happy because it allowed her to secretly bring breakfast to the office.
The institute's cafeteria is not as diverse as the school cafeteria. There are only a few fixed dishes every day, and the meals are served with the same tableware. Shengxia didn't want to eat there after eating there for a while. She was also picky about food. When others ate four dishes, she would be picky and only eat one at most.
