Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 292: Brilliant Life, Nothing Can Replace It 67

"Leng Nuan, let's go watch a movie." Qin Shuangjiang, who rarely got off work on time today, suggested shortly after dinner.

"Oh, sure, what do you want to see?"

"I want to see this."

Leng Nuan watched Qin Shuangjiang holding the remote control and tapping on the 45-inch screen, and finally stopped at the poster of a newly released Chinese horror movie. Although she had not seen it, it was hard not to know about it because of the overwhelming publicity recently. It was said to be a high-quality movie with a tight rhythm and horror duration of less than an hour.

"That's fine with me, but are you sure you want to watch this? I heard it's pretty scary."

"I...should be fine." She wanted to say that she was fine, but after taking a closer look at the horrifying poster, her tone softened.

Should? Are you really okay?

"How about we change?" Leng Nuan advised.

"It's okay! I'm a fan of horror movies! I have a lot of experience with it." Qin Shuangjiang hurriedly explained in fear of Lengnuan's refusal.

Well, if you want to see it so much. Leng Nuan was skeptical about her reaction. But she didn't say anything more.

"I'll go cut up some fruit."

"I'll go get some snacks."

After doing all this, the two of them sat at opposite ends of the sofa and watched the movie.

Sure enough, it is better to watch movies in the cinema. After watching for about 20 minutes, Leng Nuan felt that the movie deserved such a high evaluation. She decided to go to the cinema for a second viewing after watching it.

"Cold and warm."

"Ok?"

"Can I lean on you and watch?" The person who spoke was holding a pillow in his arms, blinking his eyes, looking at her and asking softly.

“…Yes, okay.” Didn’t you say you’re not afraid?

Another 15 minutes later...

“Ahhhhh~ Is it over? Is it over?!”

She could understand that the movie was a little scary, but why did things turn out like this?

At this moment, she was like a rag doll, held on Qin Shuangjiang's lap and tightly in his arms.

Leng Nuan turned her head and glanced at someone who buried his head behind her back, holding her arms with both hands and still shaking, and said helplessly: "How about we not watch it?"

"No! I've already seen this far, I must finish it!" Otherwise, the shock she received earlier would be in vain! After saying that, she loosened her tightly held hand, looked around, and hugged it tightly in her arms. She stared at the screen with a stubborn expression, as if she was determined to fight to the end.

“…”Okay, now she is just an emotionless rag doll.

Although she said so, the light breathing above her head, the fragrance from her nose, the soft touch and temperature behind her all attracted her attention, as well as the obviously faster heartbeat rhythm. It seemed that something had quietly changed.

In a sense, the two of them finally "made it" through this not-too-long movie. While the other party hadn't reacted yet, Leng Nuan got up first and wanted to go to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. However, she had just taken a step when she was hugged tightly by someone.

"Dear, don't leave me!"

Leng Nuan looked at Qin Shuangjiang who was looking at her speechlessly, and couldn't help complaining in her heart: This is probably the epitome of being both naive and in love. But, my friend, do you still remember the purpose of your behavior?

Qin Shuangjiang didn't have the series of interlocking plans in his mind tonight. He fell asleep peacefully thanks to Leng Nuan's patient comfort and coaxing.

The gloomy weather of the past few days has finally dissipated. Standing by the window of the company, just looking at the sunshine on the street can make people feel better.

"Ah, this is life~" Yun Shen drank the Coke in his hand and looked at the empty company. Suddenly, a feeling of tranquility and joy came over him. Yes, it was empty - at this time of the day, which should be the busiest time at work, their company was quiet.

"After delivering the work, go back." Xu Zhe said to the computer expressionlessly without even looking at anyone.

"Come on, Brother Zhe. Isn't it rare for us to be together? Let's chat for a while."

"Don't always have a stern face. It will make you age faster."

"..." What good is there for two grown men to talk about in such a big office? Xu Zhe ignored him and continued with his work. However, this did not stop Yun Shen from looking for topics to talk about with great interest.

"You've been slacking off." Suddenly, a calm voice sounded behind him. Yun Shen quickly stepped aside and took a defensive stance.

"Even at the base, don't relax too much."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your teachings, Team Leader Leng~" After seeing who was coming, Yun Shen smiled again and joked.

"It's so rare to see you in the company. By the way, aren't you on vacation? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to return something." Leng Nuan answered his question while taking out something from her backpack and handing it to Xu Zhe.

Yun Shen leaned over and saw it clearly. It was the new identity information prepared for Leng Nuan.

"Are you sure you don't need it?"

"Well, not for now. Thank you, Brother Zhe."

"Okay then." Xu Zhe put the things back into his drawer, then opened a file on his computer and modified the file.

I thought the girl would leave after doing all this. But Xu Zhe found that Leng Nuan not only did not say goodbye, but pulled a chair over and sat opposite him, very well behaved.

"Xiao Nuan, do you have anything else to say?" Xu Zhe stopped and his serious expression became gentle.

"Brother Zhe, I want to ask you about marriage."

“Puff…cough cough cough…” Was he hallucinating?

Compared to Yun Shen's quick reaction, Xu Zhe was only slightly stunned, but he asked with disdain: "Tsk, it's so dirty. Clean the floor yourself."

"Xiao Nuan has also met the person she wants to hold hands with for the rest of her life."

"Yes." Leng Nuan answered firmly, then frowned and asked distressedly: "But the other party is an ordinary person, what should I do to avoid hurting her?"

No! Are you all so casual? One encounter can decide the end of marriage! Yun Shen was puzzled and shocked. Fortunately, he was not alone.

The sound of a briefcase falling to the ground at the door attracted their attention.

"Sorry," Bai Xue, who had returned to deliver the task, picked up the scattered things on the ground and walked in. If you look closely, you can find that the seemingly steady steps are actually a little shaky.

Oh, he was shocked, but it was a heavy bomb for this person! Yun Shen didn't interact with Bai Xue very often, but in the few times they interacted with each other, he was stabbed by this icy beauty.

Ah, please allow him to gloat immorally for a while. Sorry, he is such a petty man.

"What day is it today that the three of you can be here at the same time?" Xu Zhe took the document handed over by Bai Xue and said in surprise.

"However, speaking of this issue, it is indeed not an easy thing to do." Perhaps because his past was touched upon, Xu Zhe's expression began to relax and reminisce.

"You have to remember that for people like us, retirement does not exist. It will never be possible in this lifetime!"

"If your partner is an ordinary person, you should be prepared to lie to him/her for the rest of your life."

"It's impossible for my family." Yun Shen raised his hand and said. After all, even if he could do it, his family would not let him play the role of a commoner and a noble.

"In addition to these, maintaining the relationship on a daily basis with the relatives of both sides is also quite tricky. Also, the identities need to be reorganized, which makes it easy to go on business trips." Once in the problem-solving mode, Bai Xue blocked her emotions and answered in an orderly manner.

"Shirayuki, you don't have to worry about it. It's impossible for me to be in this situation, and you don't exist either."

Sitting in the conference room, Leng Nuan looked at his colleagues who were discussing enthusiastically around him. Such a scene was indeed rare to see.

But why did her personal question become a group discussion? !

“Any questions?”

"No, the meeting is adjourned."

"..." No, sister, what's the difference between asking and not asking? Jun Zhuo was about to speak when she was stopped by Qin Shuangjiang's words. Then she was surprised to find that as soon as the other people in the meeting left, Qin Shuangjiang covered the contract and pushed the chair away, as if he was ready to run away at any time.

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Sorry, it's a bit rushed." Qin Shuangjiang didn't even look at her and hurried out.

"..." What made me, a junior sister who is a model of etiquette in the upper class, so rude! Before she could digest the news, she saw Qin Shuangjiang suddenly stop at the door.

"Why don't you leave again?"

"Leng Nuan said that she would come and pick me up after get off work." Qin Shuangjiang changed his previous anxious look and smiled sweetly.

"..."Oh, don't say anything. She understood. Wait, is there something going on?

Qin Shuangjiang never thought that one day, she would be picked up after get off work, not because of an appointment or something, but simply because she was picked up after get off work. She also couldn't understand why people around her were happy about such an everyday action. When she saw the petite but upright figure standing under the tree, she seemed to understand.

After the two met, neither of them mentioned going home. Instead, they walked aimlessly along the sidewalk.

"Why did you think of picking me up?" Qin Shuangjiang looked at the people around her and asked casually. She thought Leng Nuan would say that she was on business nearby, so she came by. But no matter what the reason was, Leng Nuan's initiative made her happy.

"Because I wanted to see you earlier, I came here."

"Huh?" Did she just hear something? Qin Shuangjiang stopped and looked at her in surprise.

"But I had to do one thing before coming here. I had my company cancel my vacation."

"You're not going on the trip!" This news sobered Qin Shuangjiang up instantly. She excitedly grabbed Leng Nuan's arm and confirmed again: "Are you really not going? Why?"

"Well, this way you don't have to be anxious and you have time to slowly test my feelings." Leng Nuan replied with a smile.

"So, you know everything." Thinking of what she had done in the past two days, Qin Shuangjiang shyly held her slightly hot cheeks, but she also realized a very important issue and asked quickly: "Then you are still cooperating, does it mean that you are actually..."

Leng Nuan opened his mouth but no sound came out, his body tensed up because of the answer that followed.

It turns out that just saying this requires tremendous courage.

"Qin Shuangjiang, I..." She tried to organize her words, but her heart beat faster.

"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself." Seeing her like this, Qin Shuangjiang smiled bitterly. She was anxious.

The bright and expectant eyes of the person in front of her turned into depression and disappointment because of her hesitation. Leng Nuan took a deep breath, forced herself to speak steadily and clearly.

"I have never had the experience of liking someone, so I don't know how to express this feeling for the time being. But I know..."

She pointed to her heart and said:

“It falls for you.”
