After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 237: I Don’t Eat People

Chapter 237: Chapter 237: I Don’t Eat People

After eating, they each went home.

Shen Qingqing worried that Jiang Zhixun hadn’t eaten enough, "Shall we buy some more food?"

Men generally eat a lot, especially Jiang Zhixun, who trains all year round, surely has a big appetite.

Although he ate a bowl of noodles, Shen Qingqing still felt he must be hungry, rushing here, he could probably eat more.

The hand he was holding tightened a bit, Jiang Zhixun smiled teasingly, "Teacher Shen really knows how to take care of people."

"You just realized?"

He had always known.

He just didn’t know how to cherish it before and took her goodness for granted.

He turned his head to look at Shen Qingqing with a half-smile, "Teacher Shen is so nice, you wouldn’t kick me out, would you?"

He didn’t expect he still remembered that matter.

Shen Qingqing was embarrassed, "How can you bear grudges like this?"

"My wife was about to kick me out, how could I not remember? I’m not stupid!"

As he spoke, Jiang Zhixun gritted his teeth, "Don’t even think about it!"

"Why are you holding onto something that never happened?"

Though it never happened, Jiang Zhixun was genuinely afraid.

That year, when he returned from the Northwest, he had simply gone to the supply store to buy ingredients, wanting to make breakfast for Qingqing.

As a result, Qingqing went abroad.

She went for medical treatment, and he had no reason to stop her.

It hadn’t been easy for them to reunite, Jiang Zhixun wanted to have a good life with Shen Qingqing.

Never to be apart again.

He held Shen Qingqing’s hand and brought it to his lips.

"If I ever inadvertently do something wrong, you must tell me."

No one is perfect, and he couldn’t ensure everything would align with Qingqing’s wishes.

If she didn’t speak up and kept unpleasant feelings buried in her heart, the accumulated dissatisfaction might someday explode, leading to another separation.

Jiang Zhixun didn’t want that to happen.

So they had to be more honest.

Not accumulate conflicts.

Shen Qingqing deliberately retorted, "And then, keep making things difficult for me?"

Jiang Zhixun felt awkward.

When he was young, he indeed did that, always saying one thing and meaning another, using hurtful words.

Though he clearly cared about Qingqing, he dared not admit it.

Now, thinking back, he wishes he could slap himself twice.

They were husband and wife; it was natural to care about Qingqing!

What’s wrong with saying nice things!

Back then, Qingqing didn’t argue or make a fuss, she truly tolerated him.

Unable to resist, he kissed Shen Qingqing’s hand cheekily again.

"Being kicked out is fine." It’s better than her bottling up anger inside.

Shen Qingqing was surprised, "Aren’t you supposed to beat your chest and promise not to make things difficult for me at a time like this?"

Jiang Zhixun snorted, "Then you’ll surely call me a smooth talker and say things like a man’s mouth is a liar’s ghost."

Having been scolded several times, Jiang Zhixun was well aware now.

Mainly because his wife’s temper was good; she wouldn’t get creative with her scolding.

Over and over, just those few scoldings.

He found it hard not to guess them!

Shen Qingqing gave him a bland glance, "I won’t scold."

Jiang Zhixun didn’t believe, "You always say one thing and mean another."

With that, his waist was suddenly pinched.

It didn’t hurt, but a tingling sensation swept through his body instantly.

He instinctively grabbed Shen Qingqing’s hand, "Don’t mess around."

The man’s expression was serious, with his deep-set eyes even more stern, giving a slightly intimidating look.

But Shen Qingqing wasn’t afraid of him; she pinched him again with her free hand.

Her gaze was defiant, as if to say, "What if I pinch you?"

Jiang Zhixun wanted to tease her again.

He grabbed Shen Qingqing’s hand and quickly walked toward the dormitory, seemingly in a hurry.

Shen Qingqing had a bad feeling, sensing that Jiang Zhixun was up to something.

She pulled on Jiang Zhixun, "I wanted to walk a bit more for exercise."

"We are walking now," replied the man without changing his expression.

Shen Qingqing: "You’re walking too fast; I can’t keep up."

Without saying a word, Jiang Zhixun squatted in front of her, "Get on."

Shen Qingqing was speechless.

This man had bad intentions, and she cooperated obediently; wasn’t this like walking into the lion’s den?

Without thinking, she turned to run in the opposite direction.

But as soon as she turned, Jiang Zhixun caught her, "Why run? I’m not going to eat you."

He firmly put his arm around Shen Qingqing’s shoulder, "But... I can eat something else."

Shen Qingqing: "!!!"

In the end, it didn’t go as planned.

Shen Qingqing ran into a leader halfway, who had something to consult with her, so she went to the leader’s house.

Though Jiang Zhixun was clingy, when Shen Qingqing had work, he never held her back.

He went with her to the leader’s house, and afterward, he sent Shen Qingqing back to the dormitory.

They hadn’t registered their marriage yet, so it wasn’t appropriate for Jiang Zhixun to stay overnight in the dorm.

He couldn’t stay too long, fearing people might gossip about Shen Qingqing.

They were in a sweet phase of their relationship; not just Jiang Zhixun, even Shen Qingqing was a bit reluctant to part.

This person, while sometimes annoying and occasionally infuriating, undeniably gave Shen Qingqing a sense of security when he was around.

Her mood was also very pleasant.

Her slender fingers brushed past the corners of the man’s eyes, and Shen Qingqing’s tone was gentle, with a hint of anxiety.

"When’s the follow-up appointment? If the timing is right, I’ll go to the hospital with you."

Jiang Zhixun reassured her, "Don’t worry, there won’t be a problem. Besides, you can support the family too; worse comes to worst, you’ll take care of me in the future."

How could Shen Qingqing not be nervous?

This concerned Jiang Zhixun’s future!

She rolled her eyes at him, "Can you be serious?"

Jiang Zhixun liked the feeling of being on Shen Qingqing’s mind but didn’t want her to worry too much.

"It’s really nothing."

"Your words don’t count."

Shen Qingqing made a decisive decision, "Let me know once you’ve set a date."

Jiang Zhixun couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Teacher Shen, we can’t let personal matters delay work; that’s not your style."

Before Shen Qingqing could respond, he seriously added, "There will be someone specifically assigned to take me for the assessment; just wait for the results at home."

Shen Qingqing paused for a moment.

In the end, she compromised, "Then you must tell me first thing."

"Definitely."

He couldn’t resist and ruffled the top of Shen Qingqing’s hair, "Wife, I’m leaving now?"

His tone was gentle, his eyes full of reluctance.

Though they were both in Beijing, they couldn’t see each other every day; if possible, Jiang Zhixun wanted to spend more time with Shen Qingqing.

It seemed like they had to get married.

Otherwise, nothing was convenient.

"Qingqing, we..."

Shen Qingqing listened intently, waiting for him to continue, but Jiang Zhixun paused there.

"Don’t speak so hesitantly; that’s not like you."

Regardless of whether Shen Qingqing agreed or not, proposing was a big deal; Jiang Zhixun couldn’t help but feel empty-handed lacked sincerity.

Next time then.

He’d bring a gift then.

Have to let the girl see his sincerity, right?

He curled his lips, "Next time we meet again will be after several days, give me a kiss."

His handsome face magnified before Shen Qingqing, the man leaning over.

The gesture for a kiss was obvious.

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

Shen Qingqing didn’t believe it.

But still fulfilled Jiang Zhixun’s request.

Giving a quick peck on his cheek, "Satisfied?"

"It’s okay."

The man got what he wanted but played humble.

Pretending with a sigh, "Blame it on my foolishness before; now I can only live alone; I deserve it."

"Shut up, you."

Shen Qingqing pushed Jiang Zhixun’s back, "chasing" him to the dormitory door.

"When we both have some time off, let’s take the old man for some fresh air."

Shen Qingqing informed him to be prepared in advance.

She finished speaking and was about to close the door, waving her hand, "Go now."

Jiang Zhixun was still reluctant.

But if he lingered, it’d attract gossip and disturb her sleep.

At this moment, the urge to get married grew stronger.

People are greedy; he wanted to date Shen Qingqing and marry her.

That marriage certificate was indeed important!

His Adam’s apple bobbed, suppressing his overwhelming emotions, "Qingqing, see you next time."
