Chu Qing leaned on the bed with an unsteady breath, and said leisurely after a while: "How much do you distrust me to think I want to abandon you?"
"It's not abandonment, it's sending you to another school." Qi Weichen rested his head on her legs and buried his face in her soft clothes.
Chu Qing snorted: "But the way you looked just now was as if I was going to abandon you."
“… If you break up, what if someone else pursues you?” Qi Weichen said in a muffled voice.
Chu Qing poked his face and said, "Don't you have any confidence in yourself? You are so good, even if someone pursues me, I can't choose someone else."
Qi Weichen was silent for a while and whispered, "But I'm not good to you. I'm afraid that if someone treats you well, you will find out that I'm not good."
Chu Qing laughed: "What a twisted logic, how are you not nice to me? If you were not nice to me, how could I have done so well in the exam?"
"It's different. My kindness to you is like a healthy meal without sugar or oil, which is good for your body. It's not the kind you like, but because you haven't eaten anything else, there's no comparison. I'm afraid that if I pursue you with hotpot, you'll know that I'm unpalatable." Qi Weichen hugged her waist and lowered his voice.
Chu Qing was silent for a moment: "... After hearing what you said, I suddenly want to eat hot pot."
"Are you trying to change the subject?" Qi Weichen frowned.
Chu Qing sighed: "Then I want to eat hot pot, will you give it to me?"
"Of course." Qi Weichen replied immediately.
Chu Qing was helpless: "That's it, you are not only my healthy meal, but also my hot pot, milk tea and cake. No matter how good other boys are, they can't compare to you in my heart."
Listening to her simple and direct love words, Qi Weichen's ears turned slightly red.
Chu Qing pinched his face, and suddenly the smile on her face faded a little: "You are so insecure."
“… I will change.”
"You can change," Chu Qing sneered, "We have discussed this topic so many times, but I haven't seen any improvement from you. This shows that you are just the same person and you can't change at all."
Qi Weichen's Adam's apple moved, wanting to ask her if it was tiring to be with him like this, but before he could ask, he heard her say brightly, "So, I'll always stick to you, under your nose every day, so that you don't have to think too much."
"... Do you want to follow me all the time?" Qi Weichen's voice tensed.
Chu Qing nodded solemnly, then looked at him cunningly: "Anyway, I don't have anything special I want to do, so I might as well just follow you forever. No matter what you do, you will definitely be very good in the end. Then I will just have to cling to your thighs."
"Okay, I'll hold you." Qi Weichen showed a faint smile on his face.
Seeing that she had completely appeased the person, Chu Qing didn't say anything else.
"Get up, I'll take you to eat." Qi Weichen sat up immediately.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Where to go?"
"Don't you want to eat hotpot?" Qi Weichen asked back.
Chu Qing then remembered what she had just said: "Where are we going to eat in the middle of the night?"
"There are some open 24 hours a day, we can just go there." Qi Weichen said, and then lowered his head to help her tidy up her clothes.
Chu Qing instantly remembered the kiss just now, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. Qi Weichen's eyes moved slightly, and the movements of his hands slowed down, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Chu Qing coughed dryly: "Are you regretting it again and don't want to take me with you?"
Qi Weichen came back to his senses and took a step back: "Hurry up."
"… good."
It was a bit dangerous to be alone with him at home, so Chu Qing quickly changed her clothes and followed him out. The two of them found a hot pot restaurant nearby to eat.
"Are you going back tonight?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing shook her head: "My mother asked me to stay at your place for one night." She paused and said, "My mother let me stay because she trusts you. Please don't let her down."
Qi Weichen knew what she was referring to, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "I know, I won't let you down."
"That's good enough." Chu Qing muttered, and seeing that he kept picking food for her, she couldn't help but laugh.
Qi Weichen looked at her: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing. I just remembered your metaphor." Chu Qing's eyes curved. "Healthy meal, you are quite good at describing it."
Qi Weichen glanced at her and silently picked up a piece of shrimp paste for her. Although he remained calm on the surface, the tips of his ears were secretly red.
Chu Qing couldn't bear to tease him anymore, so she picked up a piece of shrimp paste and put it in his bowl. Qi Weichen glanced at her with a smile hidden in his eyes.
After submitting the application, it was time to wait. It was actually a bit risky for Chu Qing to apply for her current major with her score, but for some reason, she was sure that she could get in. So when the call from the admissions office of University A came before the notification letter came, she felt unusually calm, but her parents were caught up in a new round of carnival.
This summer vacation passed very quickly. It seemed to be over while eating and sleeping. When school was about to start, Chu Qing realized that she had done nothing. Instead, Qi Weichen took advantage of this vacation to get his driver's license.
"If I had known earlier, I would have gone to take the test with you." Chu Qing looked at his driver's license, feeling a little envious.
Qi Weichen glanced at her and said, "It's very hot. You can wait until spring or fall to take the exam again."
"Then why are you in such a hurry to take the exam?" Chu Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at his skin which was obviously a little darker.
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes and looked at the driver's license: "I want to be your driver."
Chu Qing: “…” Has this person eaten too much candy recently? Why is he becoming more and more talkative
After getting the driver's license, the next thing to do was to buy a car. Qi Weichen wanted her to choose a car she liked, so Chu Qing didn't hesitate and immediately followed him to the 4S store. She didn't know much about cars, she only knew whether it looked good or not, but any car she liked cost hundreds of thousands.
"This is too expensive. Should we look at the economy model?" Chu Qing whispered.
Qi Weichen comforted him: "Just pick what you like, I have money."
"You can't spend money carelessly even if you have money. Let's look at other options." Chu Qing said, and pushed him out of the 4S store.
Qi Weichen didn't force her, and secretly kept a few of the cars she liked in mind, planning to pick them up when he was free. Chu Qing didn't know about his plan, and she kept complaining until she got in the taxi: "It's really too expensive. In fact, I don't go out much, so taking a taxi is the same. There's no need to buy a car."
"It will be more convenient with a car." Qi Weichen said slowly.
Chu Qing curled her lips and said, "It is convenient, but I don't think it is necessary to buy something so expensive. I brought my small treasury with me today. I wanted to help you pay part of the money, but now it's only enough to buy four wheels."
"You still have money with you?" Qi Weichen laughed.
Chu Qing snorted and took out the bank card from her pocket to show off: "See? There are tens of thousands of dollars, all of which are my New Year's money."
"If you're really rich, can you treat me to a meal?" Qi Weichen cooperated seriously.
Chu Qing looked at him proudly: "No problem."
In the end, she really paid for the meal. After the two of them finished their meal, they slowly walked back to the community. Chu Qing chattered as she walked, and Qi Weichen just listened with a smile in his eyes. The picture of the two of them walking together was so harmonious that the woman who had been waiting downstairs was stunned.
Qi Weichen looked up and met her gaze, and the smile in his eyes faded instantly. Chu Qing realized that something was wrong with him, and followed his gaze. When she saw the woman, she frowned in confusion.
"Wei Chen." The woman forced a smile.
Qi Weichen nodded politely: "Mom."
"...Mom?" Chu Qing was surprised.
Qi Weichen responded and introduced: "This is my mother," and then looked at the woman and held Chu Qing's back with one hand, "Her name is Chu Qing, and she is my girlfriend."
"It's great to have a girlfriend." The woman laughed, not as embarrassed as before.
Chu Qing immediately greeted her sweetly: "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello." The woman's eyes were cold and she tried to be gentler at this moment so as not to scare Chu Qing, whom she met for the first time. However, her temperament was cold and hard, and even when she softened her voice, she still seemed a little serious.
Qi Weichen looked a bit like her, and Chu Qing felt very friendly when she thought that she was Qi Muyang's grandmother: "Auntie, it's so hot here, let's go upstairs and take a rest."
"No, I just know Wei Chen has to go to school, and I wanted to ask if there is anything else he needs." After the woman said this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. In all these years, Qi Wei Chen had never asked her for anything. Even if she wanted to give him something, he would refuse. Her trip would probably be in vain.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and after calming down, she looked at Qi Weichen and said, "I'm just here to see you. If you need anything, call me."
After she finished speaking, seeing that Qi Weichen didn't answer, she forced a smile and was about to leave.
"Mom." Qi Weichen called her as she walked past.
The woman stopped immediately and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
"I want a car." Qi Weichen said slowly.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of disbelief appeared in her eyes: "You, you want me to buy you a car?"
"Is it okay?" Qi Weichen looked at her.
The woman nodded quickly: "Sure! Of course, what kind do you like? I'll go choose it for you now."
"Don't worry, it won't be so hot in a couple of days, so it won't be too late to buy it then." Qi Weichen looked at her excited expression, with a rare hint of emotion on his face.
The woman quickly agreed: "Okay, no hurry, then, let's put it this way."
"Um."
After Qi Weichen agreed, Chu Qing watched the woman walk away briskly. She paused for three seconds and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to buy it yourself? Why are you asking mom for it again?"
"It's okay, I just want her to feel needed." Qi Weichen lowered his eyes.
Chu Qing was stunned.
"Actually, there were some problems in their relationship, but they never did anything wrong to me. It was just that I unilaterally excluded them and didn't want to give them any chance." Qi Weichen tucked her hair behind her ears.
Chu Qing was puzzled: "Then why do you want to give it to me now?"
"Only when you raise children will you understand the kindness of your parents." Qi Weichen said calmly.
Chu Qing's heart moved, she understood, and then she laughed: "Although they are wrong, you may not have done the right thing before. Since you haven't really touched the other party's bottom line, then slowly ease the relationship."
"Yeah." Qi Weichen responded gently.
Chu Qing stayed at Qi Weichen's house for a while, and went home when it was almost time. She would go to his house again early the next morning.
"I've never seen a girl as wild as you!" said the mother angrily.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "I'll pick him up and have lunch at home."
“Then I’ll go buy a sea bass and steam it for you at noon today.” When my mother heard that we were coming home for dinner, her expression immediately changed.
Chu Qing looked at her with disdain, then ran to find Qi Weichen. As a result, when she arrived at the gate of his community, she met Qi's mother.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Chu Qing asked curiously.
A blush appeared on Mother Qi's cold face: "I, I picked a car, and I wanted to ask him if he likes it."
"…Now?" Chu Qing laughed, "You are too fast."
Mother Qi smiled awkwardly: "This is the first time he asked me for something, so I wanted to buy it for him quickly, in case he doesn't want it anymore..."
Chu Qing understood: "Then let's go up and find him."
"No, no need," Mother Qi said hurriedly, "Well... why don't you take a look? If you like it, then order this one."
"That won't do. You bought it for him, so he must choose it." Chu Qing quickly refused. If it was Qi Weichen who bought it, then it would be fine for her to choose it. But now it was Qi's mother who bought it for her son, so how could she have the nerve to choose.
Mother Qi smiled and said, "It's okay. He doesn't care about these things. If you like it, he will definitely like it too."
"... That won't work either, let's just ask him." Chu Qing didn't dare to make the decision.
Mother Qi hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, her cell phone rang. She had to answer the phone to the side, and soon her brows furrowed. After hanging up the phone, she sighed, "Something happened at the company, and I have to go back. I can't go up with you. How about this, I'll send him the photos, and you two can take a look at it together. If you like it, just order it directly."
“…Okay.” Chu Qing had just agreed when Mother Qi left in a hurry. She couldn’t help but sigh at the strong woman’s swift and decisive actions, and then went upstairs leisurely.
Having come here so many times, he had already made a key. He then opened the door and went into the house. When he saw Qi Weichen, he said, "Your mother just came."
"I know. Take a look at this car and see if you like it." Qi Weichen said as he handed her the phone.
Chu Qing stretched her head to take a look, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "I like it, it's better than the ones we saw before... Is it expensive?"
"Let me ask." Qi Weichen said, and typed a line of words.
Soon, Mother Qi replied with two words: Not expensive.
Chu Qing was immediately relieved: "Otherwise, this kind of big item will have to be chosen by the elders, and it is better than what we chose. Since it is not expensive, let's take this one."
"Yeah." Qi Weichen responded with a faint smile.
After the car was selected, the two returned to the Chu family and had dinner. Qi Weichen went to the 4S shop with Qi's mother's assistant. Chu Qing thought it was too hot outside, so she was lazy and didn't go with them. She tossed and turned in the air-conditioned room. When Qi Weichen sent her a few more photos of the car, she suddenly searched for the pictures out of curiosity, and then saw the seven-digit price.
Chu Qing: “…” How can you call this not expensive
The author has something to say: There will be another chapter in the evening. Friends who have said that I update less... Have you noticed that no matter whether I update one chapter or two chapters, the number of words is almost the same 2333? For example, today, because I write slowly, I will update one chapter first and then another chapter in the evening.
