Rebirth System: Learning makes me happy - Chapter 51

Su Qingqing stayed comfortably at home until the end of the holiday. Aside from going out for a meal with Jiang Nian, Xu Ruyi, and Xue Yan, the furthest she went was to her front gate—to pick up a package.

Su’s father was also a homebody and had no “right” to ask Su Qingqing to go out.

Jiang Nian doted on Su Qingqing even more; if it weren’t for Su’s father watching over her, she would have brought the food upstairs to Su Qingqing.

Su’s mother, who was usually the most disciplined, had been giving Su Qingqing a lot of lessons that night, and after a good night’s sleep, she regained her senses and now blushed whenever she saw Su Qingqing, too embarrassed to say much.

Su Qingqing was happy with her freedom. Every day after breakfast, she would sit on the swing in the backyard to read and study, and in the afternoon she would write in the study on the second floor to catch up on her drafts. In the evenings, she would call Yu Xingye and discuss the renovation plans for their new home. She was living a very comfortable life.

Until the last day of the holiday.

Because A University didn’t have a curfew during the holiday, they bought afternoon plane tickets and would arrive in Haishi around 10 pm.

In the morning, Su Qingqing was sitting on the carpet in the walk-in closet packing her luggage when her mother knocked on the door. Hearing Su Qingqing answer, her mother furtively tossed her a large bag wrapped in black plastic, its contents obscured. Then

she ran downstairs.

Su Qingqing heard the thumping of her footsteps as she ran downstairs, and before she could even get up, she heard her father’s slightly reproachful voice.

“Why are you running away!”

Only then did Su Qingqing relax and begin to unpack the package.

The package was wrapped in layers upon layers; after finally managing to unpack the last layer, Su Qingqing glanced at it and quickly slammed it back shut.

A blush spread from her ears to her entire body; her toes curled slightly, and her hands trembled as she gripped the package tightly.

Inside the layers of black packaging were neatly arranged small boxes.

Su Qingqing’s hand resting on them was long and slender, white and delicate, even the knuckles had an alluring pink hue, but the fingertips were slightly pale.

Through her fingers, she could see that these little boxes had cute names:

Little Umbrellas.

For a long time, so long that Su Qingqing’s legs were almost numb, she finally shakily removed her hands.

This was the first time in Su Qingqing’s two lives that she had seen these things, and they were a gift from her own mother, which gave her quite a shock.

Su Qingqing suppressed the embarrassment welling up inside her, glanced at them briefly, and then carefully packed them away.

Just as she was tying the bag, Su Qingqing suddenly remembered that they were taking a plane back, and there was an unavoidable step when flying:

security check!

Su Qingqing trusted the security personnel’s professionalism and knew they were experienced and had seen many things, but surely no one could bring so many of these things on a plane at once!

Su Qingqing was so embarrassed she almost tore the carpet apart.

Fortunately, Jiang Nian came to her rescue: “Qingqing, are you there?”

“Yes.” Su Qingqing hid the black bag in her suitcase. “Come in, Nian Nian.”

Jiang Nian handed her a peeled apple, plopped down next to her, and said, “Qingqing, should we check it in? The luggage is a bit heavy and hard to carry.”

Su Qingqing, who had been eating the apple with a blank expression, immediately grabbed Jiang Nian’s hand and looked at her gratefully: “Nian Nian, what would I do without you!”

As long as she didn’t see the security officer’s meaningful look, she could pretend nothing had happened.

Having found a way to avoid being embarrassed, Su Qingqing happily continued packing her luggage.

The group waited for Xu Ruyi at the airport. Su’s mother kept secretly glancing at Su Qingqing, as if she wanted to say something but was too shy.

When the three of them met and were about to go through security, Su’s mother rushed up and whispered in Su Qingqing’s ear, “Those things come in different sizes and types, you have to be careful when you use them!”

After saying that, she darted behind Su’s father, only waving goodbye to them.

Su Qingqing blushed quickly and, before Jiang Nian could nervously pull out some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke), pulled her towards the baggage check-in area.

After successfully passing through security and settling into her seat, Su Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Nian: “What happened just now?”

Jiang Nian had been busy saying goodbye to Su’s father, and when she turned around, she saw Su Qingqing’s face was unusually red, and thought she had heatstroke.

Xu Ruyi was also a little worried: “Yeah, why is your face so red all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell?”

Su Qingqing stammered, too embarrassed to tell the truth, and just smiled at the two of them to reassure them: “It’s nothing, just a little hot. ”

Just then, Su Qingqing’s phone rang. Jiang Nian and Xu Ruyi knew without a doubt who was calling, and they smiled teasingly at Su Qingqing without bothering her further.

Su Qingqing answered the phone.

“Have you boarded the plane yet?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Qingqing blushed again.

“I’m seated.”

“Okay, I’ll pick you up. How about we have dinner alone tonight?”

“…Okay.”

Yu Xingye sensed something from that brief pause, and his voice rang out with a smile.

“I’ll take care of them.”

…

The senior management on Yu Xingye’s side, watching their boss, who had been so imposing and suffocating during the meeting, first glance at the time, then proactively announce a “break” for the first time. He then picked up his phone, walked to the window, and made a call in a gentle voice, all turning to look at Assistant Chen standing to the side.

It was all true!

It’s really sweet!

Assistant Chen proudly raised his head.

That evening, Zheng Boqiu was waiting at home for his uncle to take them to pick someone up, but before they arrived, he received a call.

Zheng Boqiu answered, somewhat flattered. He thought his uncle was reminding them not to forget anything, and was about to speak smugly when he was ruthlessly interrupted: “I’m taking Qingqing out for dinner tonight. Have the family driver take you to pick them up.”

Zheng Boqiu said aggrievedly.

“Oh.”

Su Qingqing had just stepped out of the airport when she met Zheng Boqiu’s resentful gaze. Just as she was wondering what was going on, Yu Xingye walked up to her, blocking her view.

Yu Xingye took the suitcase from her, nodded to Jiang Nian and Xu Ruyi, and pulled them towards the exit.

Su Qingqing quickly turned back and said, “You guys go first, I’ll go back later.”

Having not seen each other for a week, Yu Xingye missed her terribly, but he was afraid Su Qingqing wouldn’t be comfortable in public, afraid that he would be unable to resist being intimate with her if he spoke. He only restrained himself, planning to be affectionate in the car.

Su Qingqing looked at the suitcase Yu Xingye was carrying, thinking about what was inside, and was too shy to speak.

The two walked quietly to the car. Yu Xingye didn’t hand the suitcase to the driver; after Su Qingqing was seated, he turned around, put the suitcase in the trunk, and then got into the car.

The first thing Yu Xingye did after sitting down was to raise the partition.

The driver inadvertently caught a glimpse of their overlapping figures behind the partially raised partition, immediately averting his gaze and focusing on starting the car.

Su Qingqing, her head protected, was lifted and straddled Yu Xingye’s lap. Yu Xingye kissed her cheeks restrainedly, one kiss at a time.

“Qingqing, I missed you so much.”

Su Qingqing also missed him terribly, missing his scent, his warmth, his voice, and everything about him.

The night her mother had a deep conversation with her, she had thought a lot.

Even in the days that followed, she continued to ponder deeply.

Finally, she reached a conclusion.

Su Qingqing placed her hands on Yu Xingye’s chest, pulling away slightly.

Yu Xingye felt Su Qingqing’s cool body temperature receding from him, initially feeling somewhat irritated, but seeing her earnest gaze, his heart began to pound rapidly, as if something very important was about to happen.

Su Qingqing carefully studied Yu Xingye’s face. Initially, she was captivated by this face, but as time passed, what she loved was far more than just that face.

She liked him.

She liked his gentleness, his strength, even his well-hidden possessiveness and obsession—she loved them all.

She wanted to have a serious relationship with him.

She wanted to be family with him.

Su Qingqing’s overflowing joy pounded in her chest. She couldn’t wait for the chance to give this confession a ceremony, even though they were in a moving car, even though they had just ended a brief separation, she didn’t care. She just wanted to convey her feelings to Yu Xingye.

Now, immediately, right now.

“Xingxing.”

Su Qingqing paused.

“Yu Xingye.”

Yu Xingye’s arm around her waist tightened slightly without her realizing it.

“Yu Xingye, I like you.”

Su Qingqing’s eyes were filled with his image. ”

Will you be my boyfriend?”
