Chapter 634 Successfully Finding a Partner
Zhou Qiao had clearly forced him to speak, but upon hearing it, she was the one who lost control first.
She tried her best to hold back her tears, and pointed to the flowers on the stone table: "So, was that a gift for me?"
Qin Feng took a deep breath and uttered a single word: "Yes."
Zhou Qiao asked again, "You gave me cross-stitch kits and vegetable gardens, all to make me happy, right?"
Qin Feng uttered another word: "Yes."
Zhou Qiao then asked, "You asked someone to help boost the sales of the Taobao store, you specially ordered the late-night snacks every night, and you were allergic to pet fur but didn't tell me and still let me keep pets, just to make me happy, right?"
"……yes."
Zhou Qiao's tightly clenched tears suddenly fell, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Qin Feng, are you Lei Feng? You did all this, but you didn't tell me?"
Qin Feng hadn't expected Zhou Qiao to cry.
Seeing her tears, he felt a sudden panic and instinctively reached out to touch them, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry."
These words made Zhou Qiao even more upset. All the fear, anxiety, turmoil, and even the unspeakable excitement and panic she had felt since entering the Shadow Gate turned into tears at this moment, which flowed uncontrollably to the ground.
Seeing that she was crying even harder, Qin Feng felt a pang of sadness and a surge of emotion. The next moment, he simply pulled her into his arms.
His voice was hoarse as he repeatedly stroked her back: "Don't cry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Hearing his apology, Zhou Qiao felt even more upset.
A bittersweet feeling enveloped her entire chest, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Her emotions only gradually calmed down after her tears soaked through the other person's clothes.
The surrounding air quieted down, and Zhou Qiao belatedly realized that she was being held by him.
The man's chest was broad and solid, and for a moment she felt a sense of attachment, not wanting to leave.
But she still wriggled out of his arms, lowered her head shyly, sniffled, and mumbled softly, "I'm sorry, I got your clothes dirty."
Qin Feng's heart softened, and he shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."
How could he be bothered by her getting her clothes dirty? He even wanted to take the clothes back and keep them forever.
Zhou Qiao had prepared herself to be carefree and relaxed, but in the end, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
A slight annoyance arose in her heart, and she didn't want to speak anymore.
Qin Feng's deep-set eyes stared intently at her: "Why are you crying?"
Zhou Qiao paused, then remained silent.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, changed his questioning approach, and said slowly, "You just said that if I gave you the flowers, you wouldn't leave if you were happy. Is that true?"
Zhou Qiao lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know, but you can try."
She spoke softly, but Qin Feng still heard her.
He smiled with relief and happily reached out to hug her: "Wait for me here."
After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly out of the pavilion.
The flower packaging was a bit wrinkled. He frowned, then simply tore open all the packaging and threw it away, leaving only a cluster of bright preserved flowers. Clutching it in his hand, he ran back towards Zhou Qiao.
Standing in front of her, his gaze was fixed on her.
He handed her the flowers, a little uneasy: "Here are the flowers for you... are you happy?"
Zhou Qiao took the flowers, clutched them tightly, and after a long while, nodded gently.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng's heart soared: "So, you're not leaving?"
His emotions were conveyed to Zhou Qiao, and she became less nervous.
She looked up at him and asked, "Have you thought it through? Were all those things you just told me sincere?"
"Yes." Actually, there were many more beautiful things he could say to her; he had searched through countless lines of confession, but in the end, he couldn't say anything at all.
There is only one sincere heart left here, waiting for her to come and see.
He said, both excited and cautious, "I'm just afraid you won't like me, that you'll hate me."
Mentioning this, Zhou Qiao's eyes dimmed slightly, and she explained, "That was my impression of you before. I later told Qin Leilei that I don't dislike you, but you ran away before I finished listening."
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and I understand your feelings, I'm not leaving anymore. You can continue."
continue?
Qin Feng froze, staring blankly at Zhou Qiao.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Qiao knew he must be completely bewildered.
She pursed her lips, then mustered her courage, stepped forward, and kissed him on the cheek.
Qin Feng trembled violently and looked at her in disbelief.
His expression pleased Zhou Qiao. She slyly poked him with the flower in her hand and pretended to be fierce, saying, "Remember what you said today. If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I will tell my grandfather and have him invite you for tea."
Qin Feng seemed to have been hit by a surprise, and it took him a while to realize what Zhou Qiao meant.
His fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, but he couldn't control himself any longer and stepped forward to pick her up in his arms.
She was suddenly lifted off the ground, and immediately cried out in surprise. She grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and the immortal flower was behind his neck. A few petals then drifted down into the air.
Qin Feng spun her around in his arms before putting her back on the ground.
Zhou Qiao laughed and changed her hand from supporting his shoulder to hugging his neck.
In her dizziness, she couldn't tell whether it was a simple physiological reaction or because the moment was just too beautiful.
The bitterness in her heart had been replaced by sweetness, and her whole being was immersed in honey water.
Qin Feng put her down, but didn't let go of her hand.
His facial features were no longer as listless as before, but instead tinged with an indescribable color.
His peach blossom eyes were so full of affection that they seemed to drown anyone who looked into them.
“I’m so happy.” He smiled. “It feels like a dream.”
Zhou Qiao snorted and pinched his cheek: "Does it still look the same this time?"
Despite the pain, Qin Feng remained calm, raised his hand, and grasped her soft, white hand tightly in his large palm. With his other hand, he wrapped his arms around her back, pulling her back into his embrace.
“That doesn’t look right.” He held her tightly, not letting go for a long time.
Zhou Qiao unconsciously closed her eyes, thinking to herself, who would have thought that just a month ago she was at odds with him, but now she was willingly held in his arms and didn't even want to let go.
This is the first time in her life that someone has been so kind to her.
Fate is truly amazing. You may think it's a test, but it might just be a gift.
...
Zhou Qiao and Qin Feng went to have their New Year's Eve dinner hand in hand.
At the dinner table, the teenagers were stunned for a moment when they saw the two of them come back together, but then they cheered even louder.
Hou Kai: "Congratulations, boss, you've finally found love!"
Old Qi: "Sister-in-law is awesome!"
Ah Yan: "May the eldest brother and sister-in-law grow old together in happiness and have a son soon!"
Han Xu: "...That's what we said at our wedding."
Ayan: "Oh, I see. But it's okay, we're going to get married sooner or later anyway, so it's good to send our blessings sooner rather than later."
Zhou Qiao watched the group of people making a ruckus, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but smile along.
Qin Feng pulled the person closer to him and said, "Stop fooling around, aren't you going to get another chair?"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Hou Kai replied, quickly adding a chair next to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng led Zhou Qiao to sit next to him.
