After rebirth, I want to stay away from bamboo horses

"You're not one of my female employees. Why, you're also asking for period leave?"

"No, I'm sick..." Zhen Xin thought for a while, but still couldn't say "terminal cancer".

Only then did Qin Shuo notice that Zhen Xin's complexion was very poor. Except for the red and swollen lips that he had just kissed, there was almost no color in her pale face.

"What a disappointment!" Qin Shuo frowned displeased, suppressed the urge somewhere, and turned around, "If you are sick, take medicine quickly. Did you do it on purpose?"

Qin Shuo still remembered the night before he went on a business trip to country M. He did it several times with dissatisfaction at the thought of leaving for several days. Zhen Xin later cried and cried: "Oh, it hurts... How can you let me go?"

"Unless you are sick, don't even think about resting!"

Zhen Xin cried until her throat became hoarse that day, but Qin Shuocai still didn't give up.

After holding it in for more than ten days, Qin Shuo had nowhere to vent. He closed his bathrobe, returned to the master bedroom, and closed the door with a bang.

"I didn't, I didn't mean it..." Zhen Xin defended in a low voice to the air after Qin Shuo left.

Ever since she moved into Qin Shuo's house, Zhen Xin has always slept in the guest bedroom.

Zhen Xin remembered that there used to be a lot of things given by Kong Xiuzhu in the master bedroom, but since the two had drunken sex for the first time in the master bedroom, the master bedroom was no longer open to him.

After so many years, the master bedroom has been like a mysterious space that belongs exclusively to Qin Shuo, a sacred existence that cannot be destroyed by Zhen Xin.

Every time after finishing, Zhen Xin especially hopes that Qin Shuo can stay and hold him to sleep. But no matter how late it was, Qin Shuo would always go back to the master bedroom to take a shower and almost never spend the night in the guest bedroom. Zhen Xin was left alone, smelling the strong smell that could not be dissipated in the air, and fell asleep empty.

Zhen Xin froze in place for a long time. It wasn't until his stomach throbbed that he was reminded of it, and he finally came to his senses. I took painkillers from the drawer and drank them with water.

After washing, Zhen Xin lay on the bed alone, staring at the ceiling in a daze: "I didn't expect that I can't even meet his basic physiological needs now, and the same is true for me, an unqualified 'bed partner'" Time to 'retire'.

This dilapidated body that could not withstand the torment, I am afraid there is no way for him to embrace it without affection anymore, and all that is left is gradually festering... Now he met Kong again, a person he had loved for many years, a living person. My partner, it’s so nice…”

If she really wants to leave, it's still hard for Zhen Xin to say it.

When he stayed in vain, he thought that being close to the water would eventually touch his heart. However, what Zhen Xin didn't expect was that after ten years, there was still a wall between her and him, unable to get into his heart.

Qin Shuo seemed to be very busy in the next few days. He always answered endless calls and left early and came back late.

Zhen Xin did not wait for the "expulsion order" as expected, and wondered if Qin Shuo was waiting for him to leave on his own initiative.

Zhen Xin had been thinking about saying goodbye for a long time, but she never found a chance to say it out.

This delay lasted only half a month, until the class reunion on the 29th of the year.

On this day, Qin Shuo went to the company early in the morning as usual.

Zhen Xin didn't know if Qin Shuo would go to the class reunion, or if Qin Shuo would like to take him along. After hesitating about the light frame on WeChat for a long time, he finally silently made an appointment for a ride.

Zhen Xin's body became even weaker. Before going out, he had to put a little lipstick on his lips to brighten his complexion. After all, when you see your classmates for the last time, you always have to leave a good impression.

The car drove for two hours and finally arrived in Linjiang City, my hometown. When I found a private room at the Xiangmanyi Hotel, many old classmates were already there.

As soon as they saw him coming in, several people greeted him. Xu Daqiang stood up and greeted him: "Hey, isn't this our top student Zhen Xin? Come on, come on, come on. We haven't seen him for so many years, but he's still so handsome!"

Zhen Xin smiled: "Thank you, long time no see."

Zhen Xin was greeted warmly by Xu Daqiang: "Sit here, sit here, this is your deskmate's seat. He has gone to the bathroom, so just sit next to him."

"Okay." Zhen Xin smiled and sat down.

"You haven't changed at all? You've maintained your figure so well! Just like Meng Liang, you've taken good care of yourself. I recognized you as soon as you walked in." Xu Daqiang said.

Zhen Xin was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, I see, you haven't changed much." Still the same enthusiasm...

"No way, I've gained weight. You haven't seen my beer belly. It looks like my wife's belly when she is five months pregnant." Xu Daqiang said as he wanted to lift his clothes.

"Da Qiang, what are you doing? Is it appropriate for you, a big man, to lift your clothes in such a large public?" A familiar voice sounded, it was Meng Liang.

Zhen Xin turned her head. The man was tall and handsome, not as young and shy as before.

Meeting Meng Liang's gaze, the two looked at each other and smiled.

During the summer vacation after his freshman year, Qin Shuo was not the only one who confessed, but Qin Shuo succeeded in chasing Kong Xiuzhu, while Meng Liang retreated to his good deskmate position and stopped disturbing Zhen Xin.

The last time the two met was at the funeral of Zhen Xin's parents, and after that, only WeChat blessings were left for them during the New Year and the holidays.

"Hehehe, I took the liberty of taking the liberty." Xu Daqiang smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat opposite.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The two spoke in unison, both smiling.

"By the way, Zhen Xin, where did you get a job after graduation? Could it be some kind of confidentiality agency? I haven't seen you post on WeChat Moments, how mysterious are you?" Xu Daqiang poured himself half a glass of apple juice.

Zhen Xin blushed with embarrassment.

He graduated and worked as a translator at first. Qin Shuo didn't like that he was busy. Zhen Xin simply quit her job and became a "househusband" at home, always hanging around Qin Shuo.

After receiving everyone's curious glances, Zhen Xin forced out a smile: "No, my job is very ordinary, it can barely be regarded as 'housekeeping'."

Domestic staff who are responsible for three meals a day, food, clothing, and daily life, and occasionally "stay in bed"? It sounds better than being homeless...

The crowd couldn't help but make low noises.

"Housekeeping is pretty good, too. The work is very meticulous. Some people look good on the surface, but in fact they can't take care of themselves. The house is in a mess, and it's not because of the efforts of the housekeeping staff." Meng Liang said, pouring into the cup in front of him. Half a cup of coconut milk.

"Coconut juice? Or milk?" Meng Liang asked Zhen Xin.

"Coconut juice."

Meng Liang poured some for Zhen Xin: "Drink some first to cushion your stomach, so as not to burn your stomach after drinking."

"Yeah." Zhen Xin took the cup and drank two sips of coconut water. His stomach had been feeling very uncomfortable recently and he didn't plan to drink.

The atmosphere was only awkward for a short while, and people came in one after another, and the crowd became active again.

"Why hasn't Qin Shuo come yet? I came specifically to see him this time." Lin Fen, who was dressed exquisitely and beautifully, said.

The word "Qin Shuo" was still so influential, entering Zhen Xin's ears like an all-pervasive wind.

Wu Ying next to her replied: "What's wrong with you? They have rejected you long ago, and you still miss me!"

"No, my sister came back from studying abroad and really wanted to join their company. When I inquired about it, I found out that the boss is our old classmate Qin Shuo. I just wanted to ask Mr. Qin if I could give my old classmate some face..." Lin Fen He flipped his hair in a charming manner.

"Qin Shuo is great. In just a few years, he directly listed the company. It is said that he did not rely on his parents' help. I heard from relatives that the business has expanded overseas." Chen Cheng on the side agreed after hearing this.

"Who would have thought that the poor student back then would become the boss of a listed company, while the top student back then would be just a housekeeper now." Lin Fen muttered in a low voice.

Zhen Xin's hands under the table were clenched into fists. At first, Qin Shuo didn't like studying and couldn't get into any good university. Zhen Xin deliberately failed the exam in order to get closer to Qin Shuo.

Her mother thought he was acting abnormally, so she persuaded Zhen Xin to repeat a year of study. After a long time of persuasion, Zhen Xin followed Qin Shuo without hesitation and enrolled in this second school not far from home.

Even though he was at the top of his class in college, when he was looking for a job, he was still outclassed by students from 211 and 985 colleges for the same position and academic qualifications.

"Hey, Zhen Xin, aren't you and Qin Shuo growing up? I see that you used to go home together after school. Why don't you let Mr. Qin take care of you?" Wu Ying gossiped.

Zhen Xin pursed her lower lip, not knowing what to say.

"Why are you so gossipy?" Meng Liang couldn't help but defend himself when he saw this.

At this moment, the box door opened, and Qin Shuo, wearing an elegant suit, walked in calmly.

Kong Xiuzhu came in behind him.
