Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 458 Her Deaf Boyfriend (41)

Xu Yanqing's main research direction as a graduate student is medicinal chemistry.

With the recommendation of his tutor, Xu Yanqing joined a pharmaceutical research institute in the city after graduation. The salary and benefits were good, and he was also allocated a studio apartment for accommodation.

The unit address is only a ten-minute drive from Zhongtian Entertainment, which makes it very convenient for Xu Yanqing to have dinner with Qin Zhen after get off work.

Qin Zhen is often too busy at work to eat past mealtimes, and eating when he is too hungry is bad for his stomach.

Because of this incident, Xu Yanqing often urged her to eat, and even developed the habit of coming to Qin Zhen to eat after get off work.

As long as Qin Zhen is not on a business trip or has no dinner parties, Xu Yanqing will definitely appear in Qin Zhen's office at 6:30 to have dinner with her.

The people in the president's secretariat have long been accustomed to it.

It’s just that the way they get along is so bland, without any of the clingy affection of a couple in love, so much so that everyone in the secretariat thought they had been together for many years.

Because of his upbringing, Xu Yanqing is indeed very simple.

He even started to use the Internet in college, and most of his time in college was occupied by studying and part-time jobs.

In addition, Xu Yanqing himself is introverted and slow to warm up, so the intimacy between the two stopped at a kiss on a midsummer night more than a year ago.

However, Xu Yanqing seemed to enjoy this simple sweetness, as if just having an ordinary meal together could make him happy.

Xu Yanqing originally thought that the two would continue to grow up slowly until he saw the news of the marriage between the Qin family and the Hang family in the entertainment news section.

At that time, he had just finished a day's work, took off his lab coat and was about to find Qin Zhen for dinner.

As soon as I turned on my phone, I saw a news pop-up.

Xu Yanqing found out that the person who played tennis with her was from the Hang family, Hang Zhanrong.

Although Xu Yanqing knew that Qin Zhen would not form a relationship with anyone else while being with him, the emergence of this news still made him feel heavy-hearted.

Although he didn't understand, he knew what the word "marriage" meant.

However, most entertainment news is based on hearsay. Xu Yanqing suppressed his anxiety. At this time, the subway arrived at the station.

It takes about 400 meters to walk from the subway entrance to the Zhongtian Entertainment Building. On the way, you will pass by a retro-style cafe.

Qin Zhen often drinks coffee from that shop, so Xu Yanqing would take a look at the window of the cafe every time he passed by.

This time, he saw someone familiar in the window.

Qin Zhen was sitting by the window, opposite Hang Zhanrong who was wearing white casual clothes.

The two were talking about something.

Xu Yanqing was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he walked to the tree beside the sidewalk and waited for Qin Zhen.

...

In the coffee shop, Hang Zhanrong looked at the woman in front of him who was wearing a neat suit. She hadn't changed much compared to a few years ago and she wasn't wearing any jewelry.

Qin Zhen is 30 years old this year, and Hang Zhanrong is three years older than her. They are still not married.

If he said it was to wait for her, Qin Zhen would never believe it.

Hang Zhanrong really admired Qin Zhen, but not to the point of waiting for him.

After meeting Qin Zhen, he seemed to have no interest in other women. The lively ones were too jumpy, the quiet ones had nothing to talk about; the ones who had something to talk about were too unfeminine, and the feminine ones were too vulgar.

In short, every one of them is not satisfactory.

Hang Zhanrong still wanted to give it a try with Qin Zhen.

I heard that she liked flowers, so I sent bouquet after bouquet of flowers to her office, but she seemed indifferent.

Now he was directly rejected by Qin Zhen.

Hang Zhanrong was surprised that Qin Zhen would refuse.

Because no matter from which angle you consider it, he is suitable.

Hang Zhanrong asked: "Why? Is it because of him?"

He looked through the glass and saw the boy standing under a tree on the sidewalk.

The other person was wearing a shirt and trousers, and silence was everywhere.

Qin Zhen followed Hang Zhanrong's gaze and saw Xu Yanqing.

I don’t know how long the other party stood there watching.

Qin Zhen lowered his head and opened his phone to see that Xu Yanqing had sent him a message twenty minutes ago.

"I really didn't expect that you would actually choose such a poor person."

To be honest, Hang Zhanrong didn't take a college student seriously at all. In their eyes, people like Xu Yanqing were just a screw.

Qin Zhen smiled slightly: "Excuse me for being blunt, but your family's standard for a partner is only a gentle and obedient woman, and I happen to not be that type."

"Besides, he's poorer than us, but he's not completely broke. He's currently a researcher at a research institute. Maybe the medicine you'll be taking in the future was developed by him."

Qin Zhen stood up and said, "There will be a lot of cooperation between our two companies in the future. I won't accompany you now. It's almost time for dinner. Mr. Hang should go home and eat."

Before leaving, Qin Zhen saw the bouquet of flowers beside him and paused, saying, "There's no need to send me more flowers. The reason there are so many flowers in my office is not because I like flowers."

...

The yellow color of the setting sun gradually faded, and when the sky dimmed, the street lights came on, illuminating the shadow under Xu Yanqing's feet.

The lights in the cafe were also turned on, making the figures of the two people talking clearer.

Xu Yanqing didn't know how long he had been standing there. He just stared at the two people not far away.

This scene seemed to take him back to that early spring afternoon, when the wind still carried the lingering chill of winter. He stood outside the court and watched the two players playing back and forth.

He thought of the entertainment news and the gap between him and Hang Zhanrong. Inferiority was like damp moss, growing wildly in his heart and spreading along his spine.

At this moment, Xu Yanqing finally understood Qin Zhi's feeling of being worried and anxious in love.

He did not forget that he always stood on Qin Zhen's left side, always stared at her lips when chatting, and always put his hearing aid in a little further before seeing her.

Hearing aids can never replace real ears, and no matter what he does, he cannot hide the fact that he is hearing impaired.

He would occasionally wonder, does Qin Zhen really like him, or is it just out of sympathy?

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Yanqing has received sympathy from too many people, and everyone who has interacted with him has expressed pity for him to some extent.

He was grateful for the kindness of these friends and elders, but he was unwilling to accept that Qin Zhen also had such thoughts.

He likes Qin Zhen.

Like it very much.

He was afraid that Qin Zhen would not want him, but he was also sad that his conditions were not worthy of such a good Qin Zhen.

The conflicting situation made Xu Yanqing not know what to do.

He had really tried hard to climb up, but there were some things he couldn't change no matter what he did.

He could only wait silently for Qin Zhen to notice him and come out.

Qin Zhen did so, but it seemed that Hang Zhanrong on the opposite side discovered him first.

Qin Zhen walked towards Xu Yanqing: "How long have you been waiting here? Why didn't you call me?"

Xu Yanqing pursed his lips and said, "I didn't wait long. I didn't want to disturb you from talking about business."

Qin Zhen almost immediately noticed that Xu Yanqing was jealous and unhappy.
