Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?
Chapter 282: I Want to Live in Your HouseTL: Etude Translations
The days that followed became calm and comfortable, no different from an ordinary summer vacation.
The student who returned home for the summer break, after a week of laziness, successfully endured his mother’s nagging, morning and evening.
However, because the little rich lady showed up at Jiang Qin’s house every day, whenever Yuan Youqin was about to lecture Jiang Qin, the sight of her would leave her feeling as if she was lost, her resolve wavering.
“Mom, I want to eat watermelon.”
“Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know. Can’t you cut it yourself?”
Jiang Qin, looking at the watermelon served by his tender-hearted mother, thought to himself that the little rich lady was indeed the perfect remedy for maintaining mother-son relations.
On July 12th, the stifling heat in Jizhou was finally dispersed by a heavy downpour, much to everyone’s relief. Thunder roared above the city, and large raindrops pelted the ground.
Before long, water began to flow on the streets, too rapidly for the drains to keep up.
At this time, Jiang Qin was sitting in front of his computer, typing on the keyboard, announcing in Room 208’s group chat that the destination for their summer group building was the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Each city would be for three days, where they would all gather and indulge in revelry!The next second, his account was muted for a day.
Su Nai: “I’ve boldly muted the boss again because I have a bad premonition lingering in my heart.”
Wei Lanlan: “If I remember correctly, these four cities are the forefront of Zhihu’s promotional campaign.”
Dong Wenhao: “Man, I feel like my summer vacation is over before it even started.”
Su Nai: “Scared me to death, good thing I muted quickly!”
Xu Yu: “Quick doesn’t matter, the boss has already bought your tickets. We leave tomorrow and can meet in the evening.”
Tan Qing: “Why can’t the boss take us somewhere cool in this hot weather?”
Dong Wenhao: “Cool places aren’t worth promoting, so essentially we’re still going to work.”
Wei Lanlan: “Just got a notice, the boss says to bring our laptops. Those who don’t won’t get return tickets.”
Su Nai: “Why doesn’t he dare to say that himself?!!”
Dong Wenhao: “Because you, with your reckless courage, muted the boss.”
Jiang Qin sat in his chair, watching Su Nai’s helpless rage in the group chat, feeling utterly at peace.
A small programmer dreaming of standing up against a capitalist like himself was simply a moth to the flame.
Outside the window, the sky was gloomy, with the sound of thunder rumbling in the distance and raindrops splattering on the windowsill, creating a misty scene in Jizhou.
Suddenly, the door to Jiang Qin’s bedroom opened. Feng Nanshu, with her hair in a ponytail, walked in from the living room, her expression cool and detached, holding a can of yellow peach, which she gently placed on his desk.
“Jiang Qin, here’s a can for you.”
Jiang Qin picked up a small knife, pried open a small gap at the edge of the can, and easily twisted off the lid. “Don’t eat too many. You’ve already had two cans in three days.”
“I brought it for you to eat.” Feng Nanshu’s eyes were somewhat innocent.
“You said the same thing last time, but all I got was a sip of the leftover syrup.”
Feng Nanshu puffed her cheeks, took the can, and sat on the bed, eating with a small spoon. When she got tired, she leaned against the desk, quietly watching the rain outside: “Jiang Qin, when can we get our family photo done?”
Jiang Qin stretched lazily: “It’s already done. They called me yesterday to pick it up.”
Feng Nanshu sat up eagerly: “Then let’s go get it.”
“It’s still raining. Let’s wait until it stops.”
“Oh, okay.”
Feng Nanshu took off her shoes, rolled onto the bed, then burrowed into the pink blanket, closing her eyes, and peacefully listened to the sound of Jiang Qin typing and the rain outside, a wave of joy and ease filling her heart.
She had been coming here every day recently, only going home late at night. The warmth of Jiang Qin’s home had a special magic for her, making her not want to leave.
Although her garden villa also had a TV, larger than Jiang Qin’s, and a more comfortable sofa, it held no allure for her.
In contrast, even though the TV here was small, and the sofa was small, everything, even the ads, seemed much more interesting here.
“Jiang Qin, if I become homeless, can I live here forever?”
Jiang Qin squinted his eyes after hearing this: “You’re not planning on selling your villa, are you?”
Feng Nanshu peeked out from the blanket at him: “Can I sell it?”
“Uncle Gong would probably cheer ‘666’ for that. He’s lived in your house all this time. Where would he move to? Here too?”
“…”
Feng Nanshu pursed her lips, then dove back under the blanket, turning her back to him: “But your house is so comfortable.”
Jiang Qin glanced at her curled up in his blanket, a slight smile on his lips: “Then sleep here for a while. When the rain stops, I’ll take you to the photo studio to get the album.”
“Okay.”
Feng Nanshu agreed, closing her eyes gently.
The sounds of the keyboard, the rain, and the distant thunder lulled her into sleep, as easily as the rainwater flooding the streets.
Beautiful girls sometimes are like cats, easily falling asleep where they feel safe.
Two hours later, the rain hadn’t stopped, but it had lessened considerably. Feng Nanshu got up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and saw Jiang Qin staring out at the rain, his eyes reflecting a hint of world-weariness.
“Jiang Qin, I’m awake.”
“Wash your face, and I’ll take you to get the album and grab some food.”
Jiang Qin shut down his computer, picked up the car keys, and waited for the little rich lady to wash her face, then they drove to the Seagull Photo Studio.
Since they ordered two sets of the photo album stand, the items together were quite heavy. Jiang Qin loaded most of them into the trunk of his car, leaving only one album in the hands of the little rich lady. Then, they randomly chose a small restaurant for lunch.
Throughout the meal, Feng Nanshu carefully flipped through the album, her eyes sparkling as she looked at each person in every photo.
Jiang Qin fed her whatever she wanted, and her adorable eyes never left the album.
That engrossed, huh?
Jiang Qin sneakily fed her a piece of chili, only to find the little rich lady chew a couple of times, then after a second of silence, start to pant heavily.
“Do you still want to eat?”
“Yes, I do.”
After lunch, they returned to Hongrong Homes. Jiang Qin took out various stands and filled the entire coffee table with them. He stared at a picture of the two of them together for a long time, his expression gradually becoming fixed.
Damn, he thought, a suit paired with a white dress. He hadn’t paid much attention during the shoot, but now, after seeing the finished product, why did it give off such a strong wedding photo vibe!
However, this strong resemblance also had its advantages. Ms. Yuan Youqin would definitely be thrilled. So, he decided to take this opportunity to tell her about his plan to travel for half a month.
But if he told her directly, nagging was inevitable. How could he avoid it?
Jiang Qin pondered silently, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Feng Nanshu, who was still browsing the album.
In the afternoon, the house door opened. Yuan Youqin and Jiang Zhenghong returned from work. As they changed their shoes in the entryway, they left two trails of wet footprints.
“Mom, our family album is back.”
“That was fast? Let me see.”
Yuan Youqin hurried to the living room. When she saw the album and the stands, she indeed beamed with joy: “A family of four always looks better than three.”
Jiang Qin coughed: “Mom, I have something to tell you. Feng Nanshu wants to travel to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen for half a month. I’ve tried hard to persuade her, saying it’s not safe outside, but she insists on going.”
“?”
Feng Nanshu stared blankly at him for a long time.
“Nanshu, why do you suddenly want to travel? Why?” Yuan Youqin looked puzzled.
“She said she’s tired of staying at our house.”
Feng Nanshu’s eyes widened: “I didn’t!”
Jiang Qin grinned: “Actually, it’s just the little rich lady wanting to have fun. You know, daughters of wealthy families always travel far and wide during vacations. What’s the point of having money if you don’t spend it?”
“Will anyone accompany you?” Yuan Youqin asked.
Feng Nanshu shook her head, intending to convey her ignorance, but in Yuan Youqin’s eyes, it seemed as if she meant ‘no’.
“How can you go alone? It’s unsafe for a girl to be out by herself. Better not go then. I’ll cook delicious food for you every day at home.”
“Right, little rich lady, listen to my mom. It’s so comfortable at home. Look at me, doing nothing all day, making my mom angry, sleeping till noon, waking up only to eat, leaving shoes and clothes messy, and not sleeping at night.”
After a moment of silence, Yuan Youqin stood up: “Jiang Qin, since you’re free at home anyway, why don’t you accompany Nanshu for the trip? Go on, I’ll pack your things. We’ll take a cab tonight.”
Jiang Qin fell silent for a moment, wondering if he should ask a certain question.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to. After all, he could go out now, and had dodged some nagging. Whether they were related or not, he preferred not to ask, to avoid trouble.
He returned to his room, plugged a USB drive into his computer, and selected a few digital photos to upload to his QQ space.
That night, many people were sleepless, sending tearful regards to Jiang Qin’s ancestors.
On July 13th, a sunny day, Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu to the airport and boarded a noon flight to the capital.
The capital in the peak of summer was sweltering and the air quality somewhat poor. Breathing deeply, the gritty feeling in the air was unmistakable. Jiang Qin coughed twice, and with Feng Nanshu, took a taxi heading north.
Wei Lanlan and Xu Yu had arrived earlier and were already waiting at the hotel they had booked.
Meanwhile, Su Nai was also on her way to the hotel, her face full of excitement.
Though this trip had a hint of work, which made Su Nai want to roar in frustration, the fact remained that it was a trip away from home and on the company’s dime. She was definitely excited.
After a while, Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu arrived at the hotel and met up with Wei Lanlan in the lobby.
“Boss, boss lady, long time no see!”
“Long time no see, Lanlan. How’s your summer going?”
Wei Lanlan pondered: “Okay, I guess. Just a bit bored staying at home all the time. After all, it’s summer, and there’s nowhere to go. I’m just cooped up at home. Lucky we have this company-funded trip, or my parents would definitely be annoyed with me.”
Jiang Qin laughed, thinking to himself that mothers are the same everywhere: “Right, did you get the rooms sorted? Let’s settle in first.”
“Sure.”
“Have the others arrived?”
“Su Nai and Dong Wenhao are here. They’ve just checked in and are probably resting in their rooms. The others should be on their way.”
Jiang Qin, carrying his suitcase, headed to the elevator: “Can everyone make it by five o’clock?”
Wei Lanlan checked the flight information on her phone: “Should be about right, but Lu Feiyu lands at four forty. It might take some time to get here.”
“Then let’s make it five-thirty. Everyone, come to my room to gather, and we’ll go out for a walk tonight.”
