Qin Ge: “…”
Since Shengxia had made up so many stories about him, this was the one he wanted to explain the most. Qin Ge didn't know what to say for a moment. Looking at Shengxia, he felt both amused and helpless.
Forget it… It's fine this way. Shengxia never needs to be afraid of him, right? He's always like this, happy and doing whatever he wants. That's fine.
Qin Ge's eyes softened as he looked at Shengxia.
Shengxia turned around and saw the receptionist. Suddenly, she remembered something: "Oh, Qin Ge, aren't you going on a business trip abroad in a few days? This place is close to my workplace. Why don't you let me stay here for two days? The food here is good, and the environment is nice. You don't have to worry about me, and I can chat with Zhang Jingwen to relieve my boredom."
The tenderness in Qin Ge's eyes paused: "Here? This is the confinement center."
Shengxia had an "I know" expression on her face: "I know, who said I can't stay here during the confinement period?"
Qin Ge took a breath and said patiently, "If you can't stay, then you can't stay. When I'm on a business trip, you just have to go to work honestly. If you think it's too far to go home after work, I'll ask the driver to take you."
Shengxia didn't believe it: "I don't believe it, I'm going to ask."
He raised his foot to ask the receptionist, but Qin Ge pulled him back with an arm: "What does confinement mean? Women can only live here after giving birth. What's the point of you living here?"
When Shengxia heard about having children, she immediately became angry and put her hands on her hips like the unruly daughter-in-law in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law TV series: "Qin Ge, do you think I can't have children? What do you mean by saying this? Are you making an indirect accusation?"
Qin Ge couldn't help it and slapped Sheng Xia's head, who had no idea what she was thinking all day long: "Speak properly!"
Shengxia rubbed her head and immediately became more depressed. "...Just talk nicely, why did you resort to violence? You're just a peasant!"
"Didn't the peasants support you?"
Shengxia was grinning again. When they got in the car, he didn't need to worry about the eyes of outsiders. He hugged Qin Ge's arm and showed him the pictures of the ski equipment he had just picked out on his phone. "I'm not a heartless person. Look, I picked one for you too. It's a couple's set! When you come back from abroad, let's go skiing at the resort!"
Because of Lingyun's listing, Jiang Bofeng went on a business trip to the United States. He was away for more than half a month, and there was no one to bother with in midsummer. His life consisted of shuttling back and forth between the research institute and the laboratory.
In his previous life, Shengxia had never thought about this kind of life. In this life, he has no time to think about the glamour and feasting. Firstly, he doesn't have those friends who brought him into the circle. Secondly, if his research progress is delayed, the leaders of the research groups above will call his office phone so hard that it seems like they are trying to kill him.
In the spring, Professor Gao pressured Shengxia into taking on a few more graduate students and a doctoral candidate. They were all incredibly demanding, spending their days and nights in the lab working on research and development. While other students are afraid of their teachers, Shengxia is the teacher who's afraid of her students. Seeing them on the street, she'd look the most distraught she could.
Because of this, Shengxia cried to Qin Ge in the video, saying that he has had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes since he started teaching students!
Qin Ge tried to comfort him, saying it was okay, but he was also a quiet person, so he said, "Everything will grow with age." This wasn't much of a comfort, but it set off Sheng Xia's conceited temper. Sheng Xia suddenly realized that, yes, he and Qin Ge would be thirty years old after the New Year! Thirty years old! It was time to get married!
Two days later, Shengxia told Qin Ge that he was going to get a beauty injection on his face to remove wrinkles.
Of course Qin Ge wouldn't allow it. He had never heard of anyone getting injections on the face without any illness. He didn't want her to go, but he was far away in the United States, and Shengxia couldn't listen to him. While Qin Ge was away, she secretly went to a plastic surgery hospital in the suburbs.
At that time, there were not many hospitals specializing in plastic surgery. The director was a graduate from Japan and specialized in serving high-end clients such as celebrities and wealthy wives. The series of examinations were quite standardized, and blood tests were required before injections.
When Shengxia heard that he had to have his blood drawn, he was a little hesitant. The imported injection was not given that day, and he let the beauty lady trick him into buying a set of skin care products worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Who knew that Shengxia's face became allergic as soon as she applied it after returning home. Her whole face was red and swollen. Qin Ge sent him a video in the hotel, but Shengxia didn't dare to answer it. After a few days, Qin Ge realized something was wrong and flew back immediately. When he got home, he saw Shengxia's face swollen like a red persimmon. He was so scared that he picked up Shengxia and rushed to the hospital. The doctor said it was allergic dermatitis and prescribed some medicine that took a long time to heal.
When she got home, Qin Ge scolded her. Shengxia went to a plastic surgery hospital, but they said they had never sold any products and the salesperson had resigned. Shengxia was left speechless and her face still hurt. She went home and cried for a long time. It was only when Qin Ge bought her an imported sports car that she was comforted.
Zhang Xiaofen laughed about this incident for half a year, saying that Shengxia should not be hit in the face, but should inject some hyaluronic acid into the brain.
The days went by one by one. As long as Shengxia was around, the two of them never had any real peace. Shengxia kept jumping back and forth between not being able to help herself and Qin Ge not letting her do so. Every time Qin Ge was about to get really angry, Shengxia would be able to coax Qin Ge into a calm state within three nights and continue to clean up her mess without complaint.
Of course, Qin Ge also had his brief moments of silence. Feng Caiwei was promoted to the head of the third research laboratory of the Second Institute in just five years. Once, the institute held a key academic conference, and the field of project orientation happened to be the part that Shengxia was responsible for. Feng Caiwei took Shengxia with her. The meeting was held in a holiday villa in Shanghai. The venue was completely closed during the meeting and no communication with the outside world was allowed.
During that period, Qin Ge was unable to leave due to company matters. During that month, Zhang Xiaofen experienced what it meant to be a lonely and desolate left-behind elderly person. Qin Ge was a perfect example. Without the noisy midsummer around him all day, Qin Ge would spend the entire day alone without saying a single word except for handling group work at the company.
I don’t know when these two people started living as one person, and they can’t live without each other.
When Shengxia was 30 years old, Zhang Jingwen was pregnant with her second child and was thinking about moving to a bigger house. However, because Zhou Ziyan was assigned to the overseas market and had no time to return to China, she asked Shengxia to help her look at properties first.
She has now completely adapted to life in mainland China and can occasionally speak a few words of standard Cantonese, but she can't get rid of the last habit of saying "eh, eh".
On a hot day, she was waiting for the bus at the bus stop downstairs in the residential complex. Shengxia was now a professor at Jinghai University, but he didn't look like a professor at all. Every year, a lot of freshmen mistook him for Professor Shengxia's assistant during his first class.
After a while, Shengxia drove over in a stylish sports car. The girls waiting for the car turned their heads. Zhang Jingwen rolled her eyes and said, "Shengxia! Do you know what it means to be low-key?"
Gan Cen opened the car door: "Nagging lady! Get in the car!"
"I'm pregnant with my second child!"
Shengxia was surprised: "Are you pregnant? Didn't you say you didn't want to have children two years ago? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then I'll drive slower."
