Silence fell upon the car. Qin Su did not reply, and neither did Zhou Zimo. The only sound in the car was the low-pitched singing from the radio.
After an unknown period of time, Qin Su, who had been silent with her head lowered, suddenly turned to look out of the car window. The streetlights outside had already lit up quietly. On the sidewalk, there was an endless stream of pedestrians. Most of them were couples.
Qin Su admitted that sometimes, she also admired such scenes. However, she did not dare to think about whether she could have such a wonderful time.
“Qin Su, apart from work, we have many other meaningful things to do. If you return to the army, what about us? You have already contributed enough. You have to think for yourself in the future.”
Zhou Zimo did not wish for her to go back.
“But…”
“No buts. Qin Su, listen to me this time. Actually, the current unit is pretty good. It’s quite an easy department. I know the reason why you don’t want to stay is because you see things that you don’t want to see. However, you will understand that this cannot be avoided,” Zhou Zimo explained simply.
“You seem to know everything.”
Qin Su put her hand on her forehead. For some reason, she felt dizzy. “It’s not that I dislike the current unit. I just feel that I need to worry too much and I don’t have enough brain cells.”
“Why do you need to put so much pressure on yourself? With someone protecting you, who can bully you? There’s no need to work so hard.”
Zhou Zimo saw that her expression had eased up, and the tension in his heart eased a little.
“Since you said that, I’ll think about it again. Don’t take it to heart, I’m just saying.”
Qin Su also noticed the gloomy aura on his body, and after thinking for a while, she replied in the same way.
Zhou Zimo gave her a sideways glance. Actually, he was not afraid that she would really go back, because in a few months, when there would be news about a pregnancy, she would not be like right now, so eager to go back.
“You’re so stupid. There are so many people who want to get out of there and transfer to a good work unit. Living in the military is only suitable for training and isn’t suitable for staying there often. Having that experience is already very good. There’s no need to spend your entire life in it. Moreover, you’re still a woman. It’s better for us men to take on this kind of responsibility,” Zhou Zimo said in a low voice.
Qin Su took a deep breath. “Who even differentiates work between men and women nowadays? Are you also a patriarchal person.”
“I don’t mean to look down on you goddesses, I’m just protective over you.”
“That term is quite suitable for you.”
Qin Su gave him a sideways glance with a faint smile.
“You’ve wronged me, wife. I’m only protective over you. Are you still fussing about what happened two days ago?”
Zhou Zimo looked at her sharply.
“Who cares if you’re courting death with that female model,” Qin Su replied coldly.
Zhou Zimo coughed lightly, “Didn’t I explain it to you? I’ve really got nothing to do with that woman, she fell on her own.”
“What a coincidence that she fell into your arms. Or was it just a coincidence that you happened to pass by?”
Qin Su rolled her eyes at him.
“Look at her face. She’s not on the same level as you. If I fell in love with that kind of woman, that would be called a pig twiddling off with a good cabbage like me[1]. Qin Su, I’m serious. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Call me shallow or not, I almost lost my soul when I first saw you.”
Zhou Zimo was speaking the truth. Over the years, only Qin Su’s face appeared in his mind from time to time. Moreover, he, Zhou Zimo, allowed her to be in his world. Other than her, there was no one else.
“No matter how beautiful one may be, it will grow old and become a thing of yesterday, I will no longer be young. What else would you like about me?”
Qin Su looked at Zhou Zimo and said in a low voice.
Actually, Zhou Zimo was not the only one who said that all these years. She was also very clear about her appearance. Back then, it was because of her outstanding appearance that she successfully became a sleeper. Otherwise..
“Qin Su, you know what I mean. The reason why I have persevered to this day is not just because of your beauty.”
“It’s not a big deal to say that. We’re already married. Actually, I still have some expectations for my future life. It’s not like before. Whenever I look at the scene at sunset, I always feel a little lost. Maybe this is what they said. After we get married, we’ll have a sense of belonging.”
Qin Su sighed softly and retracted her arm that was leaning against the car window, “I hope that you can stay away from those women in the future. I don’t have the ability to deal with those women. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to hold on for long in this matter and will give up easily.”
As she said this, a faint light flashed across Zhou Zimo’s black eyes. He swept a meaningful glance at her and said with a smile, “Now you finally know how to be slightly worried? Are you worried that other women will touch me?”
Zhou Zimo’s low laughter rang out, causing Qin Su’s heart to pause for a moment for no reason. She did not look at him. She lowered her head slightly and hesitated for a moment, “Since you’ve made your choice, you have to treat me sincerely. I don’t want to be unfair to you, and of course, I don’t wish for myself to be wronged. There are some words that are useless to say. It’s fine as long as you know what you’re talking about. Let’s stop here.”
Zhou Zimo smiled and nodded. His eyes were filled with a doting light, “It’s up to you. If you really want to keep a close watch on me, you can come directly to the company. I’ll let you be my chief personal secretary and be with me 24 hours a day. How about it?”
“If you really had that intention, I won’t be able to keep watch even if I let ten dogs watch over you. Moreover, if you really don’t know your place, then I won’t have any reason to cherish it.”
Qin Su’s feelings had always been very indifferent. If not for Zhou Zimo’s determination and courage, Qin Su thought that she probably would not have married Zhou Zimo now. However, ever since she was with him, she felt pretty good. At least, she was not as tired as before, it was also much more fulfilling than before, and the feeling of loneliness was much lighter.
“Your rationality makes me feel uneasy,” Zhou Zimo said indifferently.
“I don’t even know what I can do to move you. Later on, I thought that perhaps there’s no need to do anything on purpose, it’s quite nice to always be like this.”
“I also don’t wish for you to make yourself feel wronged. You have to know that in a relationship, there’s no difference between strong and weak. I hope that we’re all equal. At least that way, we can live more naturally. You also know that I have always been like this. I’m not very attractive and am indifferent and boring.”
“Who even says that about themselves? Whether or not you are attractive depends on the person who appreciates them.”
Zhou Zimo naturally did not want her to be mocking herself.
