Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Compromise
The amusement park was packed with people, young couples especially numerous, and the lines were incredibly long.
No matter what was said, Qin Xi was unwilling to go on any rides, but she couldn’t resist Ning Ze’s coaxing.
She originally didn’t want to go, but as she played, she found it somewhat amusing.
Unexpectedly, Ning Ze was afraid of the roller coaster, and hearing his scream like a pig being slaughtered, it was quite amusing.
Getting off the roller coaster, Qin Xi looked at him and said meaningfully, "Was it fun?"
Ning Ze, pale-faced, pretended to be calm and said, "It was pretty fun."
"Well then, let’s keep playing." Qin Xi said as she walked forward.
"Xi Xi, can we play something else?" Ning Ze caught up and asked.
"No, I just like the roller coaster."
Ning Ze pouted, "Alright then."
The two of them played until the afternoon, and after having dinner, it was already dark.
Qin Xi suddenly realized the day went by very fast.
Ning Ze took her to the community entrance, and Qin Xi said to him, "You’ve been here for two days, you should go home."
"Xi Xi doesn’t want to see me?" Ning Ze felt a bit wronged.
Qin Xi was speechless, "I’m going back in a couple of days too. Tomorrow I have guests over at home, so even if you’re here, I can’t accompany you. You might as well go home and spend more time with your parents."
"They don’t need me with them." Ning Ze pouted.
Qin Xi didn’t bother saying anything more, whatever.
"I’m heading up, you should go back and rest early."
"Mm, Xi Xi, good night." Ning Ze said with a smile.
It was probably because the streetlights at night weren’t very bright, which made his smile seem even more genuine.
Qin Xi nodded and walked towards the entrance.
Ning Ze watched her back, and only after she went upstairs did he leave.
Back home, Qin Xi found her parents hadn’t returned yet. She placed the rose on the table, changed her clothes, and after washing up, her eyes fell on the bright red rose on the table.
She found a vase, placed the rose in it, and gently touched the petals with her fingers.
Unexpectedly, she had brought it around with her for most of the day.
Honestly, it’s the simplest Valentine’s gift she’s ever received, and also the least sincere.
But... her mood was surprisingly good.
Thinking of how he wasn’t mentally strong, yet accompanied her crazily all day, she couldn’t help but laugh.
What a fool.
Growing up, he’s the first person willing to let her tease him and enjoy it.
Even during her most intense feelings for Lu Zhaoming, she mostly accommodated him.
Suddenly her heart felt a bit flustered; if it continued like this, breaking up would be difficult.
Ning Ze returned to the hotel with his mind full of Qin Xi, feeling sweeter the more he thought, with a hint of a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
Just as he was about to wash up, his phone rang.
As soon as he answered, he heard his mother’s complaints about his older brother.
Ning Ze felt a headache coming on, "Didn’t my brother tell you about that matter?"
"Mom, don’t act rashly."
"Mom!" Ning Ze shouted, but the call was already disconnected.
He was somewhat speechless; his mom still remembered the childhood engagement between his brother and Zhuang Xiangnuan, and his brother too, why didn’t he tell mom that she had already married Jing Heng?
He recalled Brother Jiang accompanying Mu Yan back to her family, given his mom’s temperament, if things blew up, it’d be embarrassing for everyone.
Ning Ze called his older brother, but it prompted that the phone was off, and only then did he remember his brother was overseas.
Thinking of this, he immediately packed up his things and left the hotel overnight.
