"I won’t do it! I just won’t! Don’t bother with my marriage for now, spend that effort on big brother instead!"
"You have no choice but to agree. Listen to me, later on I’ll meet with Song Fei’s parents and see what their family is like!" Li Junping thought this was a good match and she should settle it for her daughter, not allowing her to be so willful.
"Mom!!!!" Qin Feng, seeing Li Junping was insistent on doing this, stomped her feet in anger, "I won’t marry him; if anyone should, you should!"
Having said that, she ran out in anger.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Get back here!" Li Junping chased after her, running outside.
When Qin Feng stepped out the door, she saw Song Fei standing in the courtyard with a pile of purchases. Seeing his face made her sick, and pointing at Song Fei’s nose, she cursed: "Give up the hope, I will never marry you. A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh!"
"Qin Feng..." Song Fei just started to speak when Qin Feng pushed him out the door.
"You damned girl! What are you doing!" Li Junping called out angrily to Qin Feng, then smilingly stepped forward to invite Song Fei into the house.
Qin Feng cried out of frustration. She went back into her room, bolted the door, and threw herself on the bed to cry.
As she cried, her mind was tirelessly conjuring up plans.
She decided, she had to run away from home and go find her brother, Qin Jian, in the city.
The Research Institute.
After an academic seminar ended, several people surrounded Qin Jian to discuss questions with him. As one of the few young engineers in the entire institute, he was not only outstanding in appearance, but also very proficient in his academic field.
Periodically, the director would organize learning sessions for the young engineers to learn from senior engineers and vice versa. In this seminar, Qin Jian had proposed his questions and viewpoints on closely practicing production to meet the city’s basic electricity needs and had raised the issue of energy conservation.
The senior engineers were quite optimistic about him, feeling that this young man was not only industrious at work but also had an agile mind, and he would be the backbone of future work.
After the discussion, the group was ready to head to the cafeteria for a meal.
That’s when someone came up to him and said, "Engineer Qin, someone is looking for you. She says she’s your sister!"
"My sister?" Qin Jian murmured. Could it be Song Yueqin? Or An Hao?
As Qin Jian was wondering, he heard the person say: "She says her name is Qin Feng."
"Where is she?" Qin Jian asked.
"She’s outside the guard room, asleep."
Without a care for his meal, Qin Jian went straight to the guard room, only to see Qin Feng sound asleep with her head on the table.
"Wake up," Qin Jian nudged her shoulder.
Qin Feng woke up from her daze and, upon seeing Qin Jian standing before her, said with a pout, "Brother, save me!"
"What happened? How did you find where I work?" Qin Jian asked, furrowing his brow.
Rubbing her eyes and hearing her stomach growl, Qin Feng said bashfully, "Bro, I’m hungry. Can you take me to eat first before I tell you?"
It was lunchtime, so Qin Jian took Qin Feng to the cafeteria. Along the way, they caught many of their colleagues’ attention.
Upon entering the cafeteria, they ran into a few naive interns. They remembered how Tian Niu came back animatedly a while ago, saying that Engineer Qin had got a girlfriend.
Though Engineer Qin usually had a cold face, expressionless, his eyes softened when looking at his girlfriend, as gentle as the waters in the February spring.
Then they heard Tian Niu adding fuel to the flames with his stories.
Only then did they realize that Commander Qin wasn’t an unfeeling, passionless man; he too was a steel man with a tender heart, his icy exterior hiding a heart that secretly yearned.
