Chapter 10 Holding Hands and Going Home
The next day, the candle in the west window came again.
The third day was the same.
At the strong request of Xichuangzhu, Kong Nanzhu restored the reward function. He would first give gifts worth tens of thousands of yuan every day, and then start chatting with other fans in the live broadcast room.
The rewards are stable and the donations are generous. This person's attention is no longer on getting Kong Nanzhu to speak. He has already made a place for himself among the fans and always chats enthusiastically with everyone in the comment section. As soon as he appears, fans flood the screen with messages like "Brother Xichuang is here" and "Hello, Brother Xichuang".
This is probably how the rich have fun.
On the fourth day, Kong Nanzhu asked for leave from the live broadcast because Qin Qi came back from Changsha.
When Qin Qi entered the room, Kong Nanzhu was sitting on the sofa with her computer, writing a promotion plan for the next month. When she heard the door open, she put down her computer and ran to the door barefoot, "You're back."
After she finished speaking, she saw Qin Qi was followed by his assistant Xiao Liu outside the door.
Xiao Liu: "Hello Sister Nanzhu, long time no see!"
Kong Nanzhu reached out her hand to take the suitcase from Xiao Liu, but Qin Qi stood in front of her and pulled the suitcase in first. He turned to Xiao Liu and said, "You go back first."
After saying that, he closed the door. Kong Nanzhu withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Why did you suddenly change your expression?
Qin Qi took off his mask and baseball cap, revealing his handsome features, "Put on your shoes."
Kong Nanzhu belatedly looked down at his feet and realized that he had just been a little rude in front of outsiders. He awkwardly trotted back to the sofa and put on his slippers.
"Mom knew you were coming back, so she called and asked us to go back for dinner tonight."
Qin Qi hummed, took off his coat, took his pajamas and went into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of bathing could be heard from the bathroom.
Kong Nanzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Jun sent her a message to complain that Qin Qi had not answered the phone since that night, and she was worried that Qin Qi was unwilling to go home for dinner.
It's a headache. She has been caught in the middle for the past two years. The most troublesome thing every day is to mediate the relationship between Qin Qi and his parents. After a long time, Qin Qi even got tired of looking at her.
The relationship between the two people became awkward because of this.
After taking a shower, Qin Qi walked into the bedroom with half-dried hair. When the house was renovated, a dressing table for the hostess was reserved next to the window sill. Now it was empty. Qin Qi looked at the neatly folded bedding on the bed and wiped his head thoughtfully.
Kong Nanzhu changed her clothes and waited in the living room. The sound of water stopped for a long time and Qin Qi didn't come out, so she called out tentatively.
Qin Qi changed into sportswear, with his bangs resting softly on his forehead. He changed his mature and steady look and looked very young. "Let's go."
Thinking about it carefully, he was still a student who had not graduated from university. Kong Nanzhu suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
Qin Qi looked ahead and asked casually, "Which room have you slept in these days?"
" I've been staying at my parents' house these past few days, and my mom is worried that I won't eat well by myself."
Qin Qi nodded and turned on the radio.
"The publicity work should be over now. Can you take a few days off this time? If your time is convenient, why don't we treat Qingqing and Di Ge to a meal together?"
"Everything that requires my participation is over. Why should I treat them to a meal in just one week?"
Qin Qi answered every question of Kong Nanzhu concisely and clearly, without missing a single one.
Kong Nanzhu had long been accustomed to his style of being frugal with words and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
"Qingqing always nags at me. We didn't have a wedding banquet when we got married, so I want to invite a few close friends to have a meal together to mark the occasion."
Qin Qi glanced at her sideways when he heard this, "Do you feel wronged that we can't hold the wedding?"
Kong Nanzhu said sincerely, "How could that be? If you hold a wedding with your status, the chances of being discovered and held hostage are too high. Since it's a secret marriage, it's better to keep a low profile."
Qin Qi said in a muffled voice, "Yeah."
While waiting for the traffic light to turn red, he suddenly said, "I'll give it to you later."
When Kong Nanzhu realized that Qin Qi meant to hold a wedding for her in the future, she became excited and her eyes brightened when she looked at Qin Qi.
Does this mean that Qin Qi is willing to accept this marriage in his heart?
Kong Nanzhu's eyes became hot and he quickly pulled down the sun visor in front of the passenger seat, pretending to check his makeup, but in fact he was blinking rapidly, trying to hold back the tears that were overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
She didn't ask for too much. As long as Qin Qi was willing to live a good life with her, she was willing to wait for him to fall in love with her little by little. This love didn't have to be too strong, as long as she could feel it.
“It’s pretty nice.”
Qin Qi thought she was worrying about whether her eyeliner was not delicate enough.
Kong Nanzhu smiled brightly and gently covered Qin Qi's hand that was holding the gear. The moment Qin Qi was touched by her soft and warm palm, he felt like he was electrocuted, and a tingling sensation ran through the skin on the back of his hand.
When they entered the house, the two of them held hands.
Shen Jun was delighted when he saw it, and told them to wash their hands and eat.
The meal was rare in harmony, and Shen Jun happily added more dishes for the two of them.
When the aunt at home was cleaning the table, Kong Nanzhu went into the kitchen to help cut the fruit plate. Suddenly, she heard a scolding voice coming from the living room. She knew that Shen Jun and Qin Qi had quarreled because of the last Weibo incident.
Kong Nanzhu came out at the right time with a fruit plate, and smiled as she separated the mother and son who were refusing to give way to each other. "Eat some oranges, Mom, why are you bringing this up again?"
Shen Jun stared at Qin Qi, "You really can't say a word."
"That's right. Every time I come back, do you say less?"
Qin Qi walked to the shoe cabinet at the door and took out his sneakers.
Kong Nanzhu quickly took out a tissue to dry his hands, "Shall we go back now? We just finished our meal, let's take a break."
Qin Qi looked at her holding Shen Jun's hand, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and suddenly became more irritated, "Do you want to go back with me now or stay here tonight?"
"Do you usually speak to Nan Nan in this tone?" Shen Jun's voice suddenly rose.
Kong Nanzhu said quickly, "I'll go back with you, Mom. Xiao Qi is usually very gentle to me. He just got off the plane this afternoon and must be tired. Let him handle his work on his own. Anyway, we don't understand their rules."
Qin Qi looked at her with some surprise.
Shen Jun was also stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Hehai looked up from between the newspapers and said, "This kid is under Nan Nan's care now. Don't worry about him."
Kong Nanzhu picked up her small shoulder bag from the sofa and quickly ran to the door to put on her shoes. If she was a step slower, she was afraid that Qin Qi would go out without waiting for her. Qin Qi held her arm so that she could bend down to pick up her shoes. This action made Kong Nanzhu a little dazed. Unfortunately, she was too anxious to pick up her shoes, and her center of gravity was unstable, so she fell directly into Qin Qi's arms.
Qin Qi put his hands around her and helped her stand steadily. "Slow down, there's no rush."
Kong Nanzhu smiled awkwardly, turned around to say goodbye to the two elders, and followed Qin Qi out the door.
Qin Qi had clearly held her up with his hands, but she still fell down, as if she was deliberately throwing herself into his arms.
Along the way, Kong Nanzhu clearly felt that Qin Qi was in a good mood. He hummed a song, and the hostility he had when he was arguing with Shen Jun was gone.
"You seem very happy."
"You actually spoke to me in her favor." Qin Qi raised his eyebrows. "Not bad, you have made progress."
Whenever he and Shen Jun quarreled in the past, Kong Nanzhu would always advise him not to talk back to Shen Jun, and always say things that were for his own good. But today, he suddenly changed his attitude.
very good.
very good.
Kong Nanzhu blinked, thinking back to what he had just said, and said softly, "Actually, I've always felt that my parents are too strict with you, but I can't open my mouth to refute them. After all, they all mean well and are afraid that you will be influenced by the bad atmosphere in the entertainment industry. But this time, I think Mom is really making a fuss."
Qin Qi observed her expression from the corner of his eye, "Why do you say that?"
"I've seen male and female protagonists in other TV shows interact frequently for a period of time after the show airs. Qingqing told me that this is called 'after-sales service' and it can increase the popularity and ratings of the TV show. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you posting on Weibo to thank Du Ran. It's just that Mom is too nervous."
With an emergency brake, Qin Qi stopped the car in front of the garage.
Kong Nanzhu was shaken and subconsciously grabbed Qin Qi's right arm with his left hand.
" You really don't feel anything at all?"
Kong Nanzhu was a little stunned by his braking, and a little angry, "Yes, my collarbone is hurt by the seat belt."
Qin Qi: “…”
Does this woman have a heart?
Don't you really care about yourself at all?
Qin Qi rubbed his brows and said, "I mean, aren't you jealous?"
"Jealous?" Kong Nanzhu reacted quickly this time. "Did you post that Weibo post on purpose to make me jealous?"
