-The day He Guinian left-
After drinking three cups of tea, Mr. Qin could not help but look up at Qin Zhen’s room upstairs again. It was still tightly shut, “Go and see why Zhenzhen hasn’t come out yet.”
Qin Youting nodded and walked to Qin Zhen’s room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
Qin Zhen, whose eyes were red, had a sinister smile on her face as she shouted excitedly, “I succeeded!” Then, she slammed the door shut! She had already wasted too much time preparing the gift for He Guinian. If she didn’t hurry up, she would be late!
Qin Youting: “???”
-At the airport-
The longer he waited, the colder He Guinian’s expression became.
“Young Master, if you don’t board the plane now, you’ll be late. Look…” He Yi braced himself.
The light in He Guinian’s eyes dimmed bit by bit. Why did he always like to dream? Why would Qin Zhen see him off? “Let’s go.” His voice was tinged with sadness.
Right at that moment, a girl’s clear voice sounded behind them, “He Guinian!”
He Guinian immediately turned around!
The girl was wearing a white dress, and her black hair was gently draped over her shoulders. Her face was flushed from running.
He Yi and He Er were stunned. Was this the same brainless Qin Zhen with her fizzy yellow hair, smokey makeup, and red lips?
He Yi pushed He Guinian toward Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen also ran toward He Guinian.
“Sorry, I’m late!” Qin Zhen apologized.
“It’s fine,” He Guinian said in a hoarse voice. He could hear his heart beating wildly against his ribs. He was already happy that she could come to see him.
“I’ve prepared a gift for you!” Qin Zhen took out a sachet, “I know you often suffer from insomnia. I mixed this incense with some Chinese medicine. Use it when you sleep. And uh… I am a little short of time so this is the best I could do right now. I hope you don’t hate it.”
Qin Zhen’s mother had sewn the sachet for her when she was still alive. It was a little old, so she had been keeping the little pouch. Since she could not find a good small bag for He Guinian, she could only use it first in the meantime. The pink sachet even had ‘Zhenzhen’ sewn on it. The sachet emitted a faint smell of Chinese medicine, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.
He Guinian reached out his pale hand to take the sachet. If anybody looked closely, they would notice how his hand were trembling. This was the first time he received a gift from Qin Zhen. Her eyes were red from the strain. She must have put in a lot of effort to make this sachet.
It was precisely at that moment when the broadcast decided to remind him that he had to leave.
“Hurry up and board the plane,” Qin Zhen said reluctantly, then she stepped forward and hugged He Guinian. She could feel his body stiffen, “Brother Guinian, you should listen to the doctors to heal. I’ll wait for you to come back and marry me.”
After she finished speaking, Qin Zhen was about to get up, but the man’s large hand was still on her back. She fell into his arms.
He Guinian pressed his lips against her cheek, “Qin Zhen, remember what you said. Wait for me to come back and marry you. No matter what, you can only be my wife.”
“Yes, I know. You’ve said this several times! I will always be your wife. And you’ll have to wait until my college entrance examination is over! I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go!” Qin Zhen said seriously.
He Guinian looked excited. No matter what, he would take Qin Zhen’s words seriously.
Seeing that He Guinian had successfully boarded the plane, Qin Zhen returned to the Qin family’s residence with a peaceful mind.
…
In just a few days, the school term had begun. Qin Zhen had mixed feelings as she stood in front of the gates.
In her previous life, she had been so focused on Yu Zhuang, she neglected her studies. It was only because Mr. Qin had spent money to donate to the school’s library that she was able to go to a proper university. However, even so, her mind was not on her studies… In this life, she must get into a good university!
Qin Zhen took a deep breath and walked in full fighting spirit.
On the way, she attracted a lot of attention.
Qin Zhen walked with confidence and regret. Her entire aura had also changed. Her appearance came from her heart. The current her attracted everyone’s attention.
“Since when did our school have a cold beauty!”
“Is she a new transfer student?”
“Looks like Qin Si’s name is about to change, but maybe in a different way. Qin Si is flirtatious and beautiful to the point of being aggressive. As for this person, she is cold yet gentle, striking straight to the heart.”
Everyone secretly took photos of Qin Zhen and posted them on the forum.
“Why do I feel that this person looks especially similar to that ugly Qin Zhen?”
“How is that possible? But why hadn’t we seen that ugly freak these past few days?”
“That ugly woman dresses like a ghost all day long. She’s also very arrogant when she speaks and does things. I accidentally bumped into her on the field once and her behavior disgusted me so much that I didn’t even have any appetite to eat. Let’s not talk about her…”
