Chapter Nineteen
Man is a creature driven by desire, not by need. - Bashilar
——
When Qin Nan came in with a bowl of tremella seed soup, he found Qin Bei sitting on the window sill, smoking with the window open. He couldn't help but frown in surprise. Qin Bei rarely smoked in the bedroom, and it seemed that it must be related to Ruochu.
I was originally going to indulge Qin Bei to finish smoking this one, but after seeing that the ashtray around him was filled with cigarette butts, Qin Nan decisively took down a cigarette that had just lit in his hand and put it out in the ashtray. At the same time, he handed the bowl of tremella lotus seed soup to Qin Bei.
Qin Bei smiled embarrassedly and reluctantly took the bowl handed over by Qin Nan.
"Baby, when did you learn this trick of my daughter?" Qin Bei did not eat anything in the bowl, but joked with Qin Nan.
Qin Nan ignored him and counted the cigarette butts in the ashtray by himself until he counted five, looking up at Qin Bei with his head, arms wrapped around his chest, expressionlessly.
"Okay, I'm wrong, I'll eat this..." Qin Bei took a big sip before he could finish speaking. Before Qin Nan could stop him, Qin Bei was so hot that he opened his mouth wide.
Qin Nan sighed deeply, and the scene that had just happened in Ruoqi's room was unmoved here in Qin Bei.
"Tell me, what did Ruoruo talk to you just now? I think she seemed very happy." Qin Nan took away the ashtray, sat on the windowsill, and happened to face Qin Bei.
"She didn't take the postgraduate entrance examination." Qin Bei said lightly, this time he learned his lesson, knew how to use a small spoon, and knew how to blow it, but after it was finished, it was sent to Qin Nan's mouth. Qin Nan smiled and let Qin Bei feed her.
"That's right, come to Qin's family. If she can carry it, I will continue to go back to T-U." This news was still good news for Qin Nan. Qin Bei looked at Qin Nan helplessly and didn't say anything.
"I said I was so depressed. Isn't it just my daughter who came to help me and didn't continue to study with you? Don't you still have Rousseau?" Qin Nan said that he was still unhappy when he saw Qin Bei still looked unhappy, so he decided to comfort him.
"Bei, didn't you say that you should respect the path you chose by the children and never let them run away from home like we did?"
"Nan, do you think she would help you if she didn't study for graduate school?" Qin Bei really couldn't bear to hit Qin Nan, although her expression now looked gloating.
"Then what can she do?" Qin Nan couldn't think of what else Ruochu could do besides studying and going to Qin's family. She had only these two choices back then, and she had never thought about anything else.
"She has found a job." Qin Bei said calmly.
"Have you found... a job?" Qin Nan opened his eyes wide this time and looked at Qin Bei as if he was seeking evidence. Qin Bei nodded again.
Qin Nan rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly, "It seems that she is much more courageous than we used to be, right?" Qin Bei continued to nod.
"Oh, then let her go out and try it. If you suffer, you will come back. I know why you are sad because she is not honest with us, and I am the same, but she does not want to rely on us for doing this. We still have to be proud of her, right?" Qin Nan pulled one hand over Qin Bei, put it in his palm, and gently drew circles on his palm with the other hand.
"She is currently working in a magazine acquired by Xiaochuan." Qin Bei said this, Qin Nan was more surprised than when he heard that Ruochu had not taken the exam.
"Xiaochuan? Why, they have agreed?"
"It should be just a coincidence. When Ruochu went to apply for the job, Xiaochuan didn't know, and Ruochu didn't know that the magazine was acquired by Xiaochuan."
"Oh my God, there's such a coincidence..." Qin Nan corrected what Qin Bei said in his mind. In order to prevent something more surprising to her, he learned it more well this time, "What about it?" See if there are any more exciting things.
Qin Bei shrugged, put down the bowl, and spread his hands.
Qin Nan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Bei, are you jealous?" She finally understood why Qin Bei was always depressed.
"I didn't." Qin Beiya denies it, and at the same time turned his head out the window, took a deep breath, and looked at the night sky outside the window in a daze.
Qin Nan suddenly laughed out loud, stretched out his arms and turned Qin Bei's face to her: "Dear, you have been secretly competing with Xiaochuan for so many years. I know you work hard, but don't forget that Ruoruo is your daughter. If there are more people who love her, we should be relieved."
"Oh, I feel relieved to follow Xiaochuan, just..."
"But, don't want to share a daughter with your brother, right?" Qin Nan said, circling Qin Bei's neck with his arms, pulling his head over, and matching his forehead, looking at his eyes and saying softly.
"You..." Qin Bei couldn't help but kiss Qin Nan's eyelids. He really couldn't hide any thoughts from her.
...
Ruochu finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the burden of thought for several months was easily removed, so excited that he couldn't help himself. Daddy was right, it seemed that he really underestimated his parents.
Just now, Qin Bei told Ruochu about his experience of running away to do what he liked, and Qin Nan was carrying the postgraduate entrance examination at home. This was the first time Ruochu heard these things. Although his parents’ choices were different from those of him, they were of the same nature, and that was to firmly walk their own path.
Qin Bei also praised Ruochu and agreed to help convince Qin Nan, encouraging Ruochu to just do what she likes. Her parents will always be her strong backing. Ruochu was so excited that she regretted not saying this earlier, ashamed of her not understanding her parents, and also suffered for so long.
The more I think about it, the more excited I feel. Although I still have a graduation thesis on my head, today is a big day for spiritual liberation, so it is okay to relax properly. So Ruochu turned on the music and couldn't help dancing in his room.
Just when he was in love, a deliberate cough came from the door. Ruoqi was trying hard to hold back his smile and looked at Ruochu in circles. Ruochu didn't stop, just gave him a blank look.
"Sister, I didn't expect that your cerebellum is quite developed?"
"That's right, it's better to hurt my dad than someone playing a ball." Ruochu was not showing weakness, and he didn't pick up any pot.
Ruoqi immediately became depressed and said angrily with a grievance: "I didn't mean it, why do I always mention it?"
Ruochu turned off the music and came over to rub Ruoqi's head, "Okay, I won't mention it anymore. I know you didn't mean it, okay."
"Hehe, sister, why are you so happy?" The child's emotions changed faster than the weather.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that your sister, I already have a job. Only when I work, will adults know? Can I support myself?" Ruo Chuyi looked proud. She always felt superior in front of Ruoqi, especially when she saw Ruoqi's admiration and envy look.
After Ruoqi left, he was still excited, and it felt better than knowing that he was admitted to "Mirror". Suddenly, he wanted to share this news with others. The first person in his mind was Daddy.
Yes, it was the way he pointed out for himself, and it was him who gave her a chance to realize her self-worth, and told him the news and make him happy.
Take your mobile phone to dial Xiaochuan's mobile phone number in China, and it was quickly connected. After confirming that the low and lazy voice over there was undoubtedly Xiaochuan, Ruochu called out sweetly, "Dadly..."
"Oh, Ruoru, is there anything wrong?" Obviously the other party was a little surprised that she called so late, and there was also a hint of hidden surprise, but Ruochu was hard to find out.
Ruochu retelled the story of his conversation with Qin Bei to Xiaochuan, and a gentle laugh came from Xiaochuan, saying that this would save him from taking action, but he would still have to make a special trip to comfort Qin Bei. Obviously, it would be better to tell someone who was the father in person.
While chatting, an English female voice came from the other side of the phone. Ruochu heard it very clearly and asked Xiaochuan who was talking to. Xiaochuan replied with two words "my girl" without thinking. Ruochu's face turned red immediately. It was already ten o'clock. There was a woman in Xiaochuan's room, and he was still calling at this time...
"Dad, then I won't bother you, good night." He hung up the phone in a hurry, his heart beating, and he couldn't say what it felt. He regretted calling at this time and encountered someone's private life. But wasn't Daddy divorced Monica? Why was there a woman in the room at this time? Ruochu suddenly felt very disappointed, and his previous excitement disappeared without a trace.
"your girl?daughter?" Michelle came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and saw Xiaochuan calling. After Xiaochuan hung up, she continued to ask, because she had seen Ruochu, she thought of her daughter. If it were someone else, she would have misunderstood.
"Ah, yes, daughter." Xiaochuan replied in English, and at the same time realized that the "my girl" he answered just now was indeed inappropriate. It was not only ambiguous, but also quite ambiguous. But Michelle didn't mind.
"Dear, you can go and take a shower." Michelle walked to Xiaochuan and wrapped around his waist. Xiaochuan didn't pay attention and her belt was untied. As soon as she stiffened her body, the first few buttons of her shirt had been untied.
Michel moved one hand to his chest and the other naturally placed it on his lower body. Xiaochuan grabbed her hands.
"Sorry, Michelle..."
"Why do you say sorry?" Michelle's eyes were as charming as silk, exhaled like orchid, and her body was tightly pressed against Xiaochuan, and her tone exuded a fascinating temptation.
"I, I don't want to..." Xiaochuan suddenly gave a bad reason.
"You are lying..." Michelle glanced at Xiaochuan's lower body. Obviously, his body had betrayed him.
"I'm really sorry, Michelle, you have a good rest. I will book the flight ticket back to the United States for you." Xiaochuan said as he quickly sorted out his clothes, and then left without looking back.
Michelle shook her head in disappointment. She came to China from thousands of miles away just to accompany him overnight. However, since she couldn't, it would be better to go out to collect folks tomorrow. The background of the next book would be a good idea. However, this man is becoming more and more interested in her.
Xiaochuan hated his retreat and fled in front of a woman for the first time. What happened to him? He is now a free body and needs it himself. Today's approach is definitely not in line with his style. Although Michelle is not as young as Monica, her body still fascinates him. Especially as a mature woman, Michelle knows how to make people ecstasy. This time she went to China to comfort herself. What's going on? Is it because of that phone call?
shit!
