Chapter 175 Pursuit

My Soulmate is A Libero

Upon hearing Qin Chunxiao’s words, Qin’s dad, mom, and sister first ruled out the person who spent the most time with Qin Chunxiao – Er Leng, even though Er Leng was quite handsome.

That kid liked Victoria’s Secret supermodels. He even cried when Victoria’s Secret stopped its shows last year. Plus, the probability of Qin Chunxiao developing feelings for him beyond their brotherly bond was close to zero.

Next, they ruled out Qin Chunxiao’s national team teammates. Based on Qin’s parents’ understanding of Xiaoqin, he treated the big, muscular guys who weren’t good at fighting as elder brothers. The only one who could beat him, Ding Rong, was seen by Xiaoqin as a challenge.

After Qin Chunxiao went back to his room to rest, Qin’s parents and Qin Chunfeng created a small group chat on WeChat.

Qin’s dad, with his high intelligence, honed in on a person: Could it be that handsome guy surnamed Lu, the one who escorted Xiaoxiao to the college entrance exam last year?

Qin Chunfeng: Why do you think it’s him?

Qin’s dad: Because he’s the most handsome.

Qin Chunfeng always felt that her brother was being misunderstood: Xiaoxiao shouldn’t like Lu Xuandong just because he’s handsome and well-off.

Even if Lu Xuandong wasn’t wealthy or handsome, even if he were that young boy who had escaped from the countryside, Qin Chunfeng thought that given Lu Xuandong’s stubborn and unwavering character even in difficult situations, her brother still had a high chance of appreciating him and developing feelings.

Qin’s mom: We know your brother isn’t shallow, but if he’s interested in someone, looks must have something to do with it. I fell for your dad because of his appearance too.

Qin’s dad: Chao Chao, don’t say things like that in front of the kids.

Qin Chunfeng saw her parents sharing affectionate messages in the group chat again and threw her phone onto the bed, lying down.

Her brother had fallen in love with his soulmate, but based on her understanding of her brother, she knew that whether or not they were soulmates didn’t matter when they were together.

Oh well, Xiaoxiao was 18 years old now. Whoever he chose to be with was fine. Qin Chunfeng sent her brother a safety manual and then put the issue aside. After all, trying to control too much would only lead to resentment. But according to statistical data, if one sibling from the same parents found their soulmate, there was an 80% chance the other would too. And she already had someone she loved. That was the dilemma for Qin Chunfeng.

Did she have a soulmate? If she did, how should she treat them?

At this moment, someone messaged her on WeChat.

[Making blueberry muffins. Do you eat cranberries? If you do, I’ll add some.]

Qin Chunfeng’s eyes brightened, and she quickly replied.

[Eat!]

Qin Chunxiao devoted his summer vacation to Lu Xuandong. Every morning, he would go out for morning exercises, joining the provincial team for training. On his way home, he would visit the market and then read books and do housework. At 4:00 PM sharp, he would start cooking. There were some ingredients he couldn’t handle, but he managed to make dishes. He left a portion for his parents and sister, and another portion was packed to go.

Qin Chunfeng carried a bowl of mixed grain rice. On the table were blanched white shrimp, peeled and ready to eat. They tasted refreshing when dipped in sauce. There was also winter melon and pork rib soup with a sprinkle of white pepper for flavoring. There was water-boiled broccoli and soy sauce-steamed chicken feet. This dish had the strongest flavor on the table but was still a steamed dish, so it was light to eat.

“So light. Could this be a fitness meal?” Qin Chunfeng mumbled to herself. “Since I started eating with Xiaoxiao, I’ve lost weight. If Wen Lang keeps feeding me like this every day, I’ll have to cause a fuss with him.”

Wen Lang was Qin Chunfeng’s boyfriend. Both of them were studying at Renmin University. Sometimes, Qin Chunfeng was so engrossed in her books that she didn’t want to go to the cafeteria, so she relied on her boyfriend to bring her food. Wen Lang also took on a few tutoring jobs, earned money, rented a one-bedroom apartment, and occasionally cooked, catering to his girlfriend.

The few extra pounds that Qin Chunfeng gained were lost thanks to her brother, Qin Chunxiao.

Qin’s mom also sighed, “When your dad and I first met, he always cooked for me. Later, when I saw him fighting a bunch of thugs on the street, I remembered those meals. I couldn’t just watch him fight ten guys alone. I immediately picked up a brick and went over to hit those thugs’ faces. After the fight, we got together. How does that saying go? To capture a person’s heart, you first have to capture their stomach.”

Qin Chunfeng: “Xiaoxiao’s talent for fighting probably comes from both Mom and Dad.”

Qin’s mom scooped up soup with a ladle, puzzled, “Why did this kid put so much abalone, shark fin, and sea cucumber in the soup? Is Dong Zi really weak?”

Qin Chunxiao’s method of pursuing someone was learned from the elders. His parents, grandparents, and even his great-grandparents had lived through times of hunger. Even her brother-in-law, Wen Lang, had been raised by his uncle and aunt who sold fish after his parents’ early deaths. During adolescence, they dared not eat too much for fear of offending their aunt. Thus, the most sincere way they showed their kindness was through food.

Eating well and being full were more important than anything else.

And in Qin Chunxiao’s mind, Lu Xuandong was a delicate person, although compared to Qin Chunxiao, most humans were delicate.

Dongzi needed to take care of his body. On his way, he casually bought a bunch of white roses, a total of 11 flowers, which, along with baby’s breath, bloomed splendidly in the packaging.

Qin Chunxiao strode into the Zhe Yue headquarters, naturally blending in with a few white-collar workers. Amid their astonished gazes, he pressed the button for the 20th floor. When the elevator doors opened, he walked in, unashamed and poised.

Not only did Lu Xuandong give him access to his home’s fingerprint lock, but he also informed the secretaries that Qin Chunxiao was free to come and go in his office.

Lu’s CEO had a male and a female secretary. The female secretary was a graduate of a foreign business school, efficient in her work. She usually spent a year and a half by the CEO’s side before being sent abroad to develop overseas markets. The male secretary, on the other hand, was a true working assistant, handling details and minor matters.

When Qin Chunxiao arrived, the female secretary was immersed in her work, while the male secretary greeted him, “Captain Qin, President Lu is working. Please wait for a moment. Would you like some water?”

“In that case, I’ll wait. No need for water. You all are busy,” Qin Chunxiao turned around and headed to the lounge.

By the time Lu Xuandong finished his work and came out, Qin Chunxiao had already set the table with food and utensils. He had also casually draped a towel over his arm and elegantly raised his hand, saying, “President Lu, please have your meal.”

Suppressing a smile, Lu Xuandong replied, “Thank you Team Qin. Please sit down quicly. Let me pour you a glass of juice.”

Freshly squeezed juice in the morning, made with safe and genuine ingredients. Athletes could drink it to replenish vitamins without worrying about drug tests.

Qin Chunxiao helped him loosen his tie, saying, “Don’t wear this during the meal.”

Then he asked, “Are you sure there’s no overtime today?”

Lu Xuandong unbuttoned his collar and responded, “No overtime.”

When Qin Chunxiao wanted to invite a friend out to play, he usually informed them one to three days in advance to free up their schedule. He did the same for Lu Xuandong, so he had already finished his work ahead of time.

Qin Chunxiao pulled out two tickets, saying, “That happens to be the schedule for tonight’s performance of “Romeo and Juliet” musical.”

The tickets were obtained through Little Snowman Sister, a former fan circle member. Although Qin Chunxiao also liked music, he actually preferred practicing boxing, playing real-life CS, and VR shooting in his leisure time. But since he was pursuing Lu Xuandong, he was definitely going to places Lu Xuandong enjoyed.

Qin Chunxiao placed the flowers in a vase in Lu Xuandong’s office. He had brought this vase himself. Lu Xuandong had even added a small table beside his desk to hold the vase, allowing him to admire it daily.

After Lu Xuandong finished eating, Qin Chunxiao waited beside him, and then the two of them left together. Before leaving, Lu Xuandong plucked a white rose and used a pin to fasten it to his chest.

The secretaries were also about to finish work. The male and female secretaries whispered, “Sister Lu, did Captain Qin have a talk with President Lu?”

The female secretary gave him a glance and said, “No, it’s Captain Qin who’s pursuing President Lu.’

The male secretary was shocked, “President Lu still needs to be pursued?!” Could it be that President Lu’s attitude towards Captain Qin wasn’t such that even if Captain Qin said, “Give me all your savings,” President Lu would immediately bring his entire fortune to offer him?

Envy could be seen in the eyes of the female secretary, “That’s why Captain Qin is a good man.”

He might not be unaware of President Lu’s thoughts, but he didn’t act with an air of superiority. Instead, he positioned himself as the pursuer, candidly displaying his love and sincerity.

The female secretary questioned whether she truly understood President Lu’s personality, but she believed these things were definitely beneficial for President Lu’s state of mind. Ever since Captain Qin started showing up at Zhe Yue, Lu Xuandong’s presence had become visibly brighter.

Because Qin Chunxiao didn’t hide his intentions at all, people like Li Ling, Chen Aiguo, and even the CEO’s secretaries knew that he was pursuing Lu Xuandong.

Initially, everyone’s reaction was, “Does Dong Zi really need Xiao Zi to pursue him?”

But upon reflection, this was something that Qin Chunxiao was capable of.

Qin Chunxiao pursuing Lu Xuandong wasn’t because he wanted the other’s wealth, nor was it solely because he was attracted to his physique (well, maybe a little). Even if he were to propose on one knee in the future, it wouldn’t be to coax the other into doing household chores. It was about making the other see his genuine willingness to weather storms together and spend a lifetime bringing happiness to him.

Being pursued by an exceptional person, receiving their expressions of admiration, as long as the pursuit was measured, it was undoubtedly a good thing. This person would affirm the pursued person’s charm and character to the greatest extent.

Qin Chunxiao, through his actions, was telling Lu Xuandong that he didn’t need to feel inferior; he was amazing. Therefore, Qin Chunxiao was already infatuated with him.

When Qin Chunxiao walked into the CEO’s office holding flowers, the entire Zhe Yue headquarters’ staff felt that this was more than just friendship!

If someone were to ask at that moment, Qin Chunxiao would definitely say, “Yes, I’m pursuing our President Lu. What? Why pursue him? Of course, it’s because I like him and want to be with him!”

Perhaps due to some stroke of luck, this evening in Guangzhou wasn’t stiflingly hot. The sea breeze blew along the streets and alleys, ruffling clothes and hair. Qin Chunxiao wore a blue T-shirt and white athletic pants. At this point, he could have paired it with flip-flops, holding a coconut; he would have looked perfect. However, considering he was in front of the person he liked, he chose to wear a pair of sandals.”

There were many people watching the musical. Seeing the crowd gather, Qin Chunxiao took out two masks and tiptoed to help people put them on.

In the past, Lu Xuandong would voluntarily bend down to cooperate with him. But now, he found Qin Chunxiao’s tiptoeing too adorable. On a rare mischievous impulse, he watched Qin Chunxiao extend his hand to put on his mask, looking at those focused blue eyes from such a close distance.

If he were to die at this moment, it would still be a peaceful ending. He had had this thought many times.

While watching the musical, Lu Xuandong decided that it was already enough. If Qin Chunxiao wanted to kiss him, he would definitely take off his mask and, amidst the surprised or even disapproving gazes of the audience all around, he would hold Qin Chunxiao and say that he loved him.

However, today, little Qin still didn’t kiss Lu Xuandong. He simply gently pressed his hand when the musical sang “Aimer.” Then their fingers intertwined, and finally, they held hands.
