Chapter 7 Overbearing President’s Runaway Wife (7)
It was simply a pity that there wouldn’t be a way to see that person again.
Bai Xiyu sighed quietly, watching the setting sun slowly descend at the horizon, the sky gradually being consumed by darkness and the stars’ twinkling could faintly be seen.
Behind him, Qin Zerong leaned down and whispered a question to his ear, "Do you want to go back? Or do you want to watch this for a while?"
Bai Xiyu didn’t directly answer Qin Zerong's question, but asked him, "And Teacher Pei?"
"She should still be at school." Qin Zerong pushed the handle behind the wheelchair, turned the wheelchair, and pushed it towards the school.
None of them spoke for a while, the mountain road was extremely quiet, and the waning moon hung in the sky, casting a cold moonlight on the stream behind them.
"Are you here to take Teacher Pei back?" Bai Xiyu asked suddenly, and before Qin Zerong could answer, he said to himself, "She should be taken back. The conditions in the mountains aren’t too good, she is a girl who was truly somewhat wronged."
"What about you?" Qin Zerong couldn't help but ask.
"Me? I've been here for a long time, I got used to it. It's very good here."
Qin Zerong could see Bai Xiyu's face under the moonlight carrying a smile.
He thought that this Teacher Bai might really like his life here.
After a while, Qin Zerong looked at the soft hair on Bai Xiyu's head and asked him, "Why did Teacher Bai come here?"
Of course, he knew that the female lead would come here and he was ready to give her a halo. He looked for this barren place for two whole months yet he doesn’t know how the female lead popped here!
"I’ve been here for many years, I have forgotten it a long time ago." Bai Xiyu looked up at the moon in the sky, blinked, and softly said.
Qin Zerong naturally didn't believe what Bai Xiyu said, but he didn't ask questions anymore and silently pushed this Teacher Bai back to school.
When they came back, they happened to see Pei Qingqing standing at the classroom’s doorway. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Qin, talk to Miss Pei first, I'll go home for now." After saying this, Bai Xiyu rolled his wheelchair to the dilapidated small dormitory at the side.
When he arrived at the door, Bai Xiyu turned his head to shout, "Call for me if something happened!"
Although it would be useless to call this master, he still had to leave the scene.
Hey, there’s not a lot of fathers this considerate, carefully treasure this, male and female leads! After delivering the halos, this daddy would be leaving!
In fact, to a certain extent, this remark was left for the female lead, but in most cases, it wasn’t really needed. Regardless of the intense animosity between them, they would always have chemistry when they meet, regardless of how unwilling the female lead was, she would never ask him for help.
However, Bai Xiyu expressed that even if he understood that these youngsters’ growing anger, it’s still a reunion where absence makes the heart grow fonder!
It was already early autumn right now, a few fireflies lit up not far away, and the night was as cool as water.
Qin Zerong glanced at Pei Qingqing's short outfit, and said to her, "It's cold, let’s go in and talk."
Seeing that Pei Qingqing not moving, Qin Zerong saw through the young woman’s thoughts and smiled, "Why? Afraid that I’ll do something to you? If I do something to you, naturally, you can call Teacher Bai. Moreover, Miss Pei, I have to say, you hold yourself too high."
"You—" Pei Qingqing’s eyes widened and stared at Qin Zerong.
"If Miss Pei doesn't feel the cold, of course, we can continue this chat outside."
Pei Qingqing pushed the classroom’s door open and walked inside.
Qin Zerong followed behind at a very slow pace and turned on the light in passing.
Under the dim light, Pei Qingqing had an indescribable sadness on her face. She said to Qin Zerong, "Qin Zerong, I’ll go back with you, but you must promise me not to touch Teacher Bai and the children."
What is in this girl's mind? Why would he touch these people? Qin Zerong snickered inwardly, but on the surface, he still replied solemnly, "Of course I won't touch them."
As soon as Bai Xiyu arrived at the classroom’s doorway with a quilt in hand, he heard Qin Zerong's words. Expecting that the two would be talking for a while, Bai Xiyu wheeled away and left silently.
Qin Zerong didn't know that Bai Xiyu had just been here. He proceeded to ask Pei Qingqing, "Miss Pei, would you really like to stay in this place?"
"I..." Pei Qingqing glanced at Qin Zerong. She looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated and didn't dare to release the words.
"I think I know Miss Pei's answer." Qin Zerong said with a smile, "Miss Pei, I am very grateful to you for saving me three years ago. I have always wanted to repay you, but I don't want to let you think that I’m controlling your life. Miss Pei, do you understand what I mean?"
Qin Zerong took Pei Qingqing and left that night. Pei Qingqing didn’t even say goodbye to Bai Xiyu. Regarding that, she told Qin Zerong a rather hypocritical remark, her farewell would only make Teacher Bai feel sadder, it would be better to leave without saying goodbye, she knew that Teacher Bai would understand her.
Understand a fart! This was Bai Xiyu's understanding between the male and female lead’s relationship and Qin Zerong's character. Especially if it's someone else who doesn't fricking know anything, how much do you need to worry about?
What a retard! Apart from this sentence, Bai Xiyu didn't want to say anything else.

But Qin Zerong was called back by Mr. Qin as soon as he returned to S city.
The elderly man sat on the old-fashioned wooden chair[1] with crutches made from African Blackwood by his right hand. Seeing that his favorite grandson was back, he sighed as he told him, "I know you like that Pei Qingqing, but you can’t. I have seen that lass, I truly don’t know what you’re thinking, how can she compare to Xiyu."
If Bai Xiyu was present, this would be the moment he would silently complain about Father Qin’s words, because at least the female lead’s chest was still bigger than his.
Qin Zerong lowered his head and replied obediently, "Okay, grandpa, I’m aware of my behavior."
"Hey, I don't know where Xiyu went either. I haven't seen her in years."
Qin Zerong, his expression unhappy, said, "Don't talk anymore, grandpa, if she wanted to, she would definitely come by to see you."
Qin Zerong wasn’t the least bit interested in talking about the young miss Xiyu to Elder Qin, regardless of how Elder Qin praised that she’s hard to find from the heavens and difficult to seek on earth.
He never told Elder Qin that five years ago, he tried to save that Miss Bai, but he was kidnapped and injured his head and in the end, that Miss Bai abandoned him and escaped by herself.
Hah... it was just like he took a free life counseling course, although the price was a bit high, to the point that he still doesn't have the slightest impression of that Miss Bai in his mind.
But this was also good. Who hasn't encountered a few scumbags? Besides, he could fortunately immediately forget that scum.
What a great thing!
