“So…? Are you still going to accept the job?” Luyao teased, “Wouldn’t he be furious if he found out that he spent a billion yuan to find that the Witch Doctor and the Grim Reaper was the same person?”

Qin Zhen was quiet for a moment.

“I’ll think about it.”

…

The next day, after class, their homeroom teacher made an announcement, “The school anniversary is coming up soon. Every class will have to perform something for the celebration. I’ll leave the discussion to you all. The class monitor will inform me of your decision before the end of school.”

The boys were not interested in these things, but the girls were very excited. Since there were only 15 girls in Class 28, Du Juan decided to perform a dance with all the girls. However, she deliberately excluded Qin Zhen and started to isolate the small group.

Jia Qing watched it all happen from the side and immediately spoke up, “If all the girls are participating, what about Qin Zhen? Is she a boy?”

Du Juan obviously did not ask Qin Zhen on purpose, but Jia Qing and his small group were quite intimidating in class. So, she reluctantly asked her through gritted teeth, “Qin Zhen, do you want to participate?”

“I’m not interested,” Qin Zhen said indifferently,

“Alright then,” With that, Du Juan went back to do her own thing.

Jia Qing snorted coldly, “Zhenzhen, if she doesn’t want to play with you. We’ll play with you.”

Qin Zhen was speechless, “That’s not necessary!”

“Then I won’t participate either… I don’t know how to dance anyway… I want to leave some time to study.” Ji Yueyue’s voice was very soft. If she wasn’t standing next to Du Juan, no one would have heard her.

The timid girl had never had a sense of presence in class. Hearing her say that she wasn’t participating, Du Juan expressionlessly replied with an “okay” and crossed her name out.

After school, Qin Zhen went to He Guinian’s house because he had an appointment with the doctor to check his leg today. When she arrived, the doctor had just arrived. She stood nervously at the side and watched the family doctor give He Guinian a check-up.

After the doctor finished his examination, he said, “There’s no problem with your leg anymore. You should practice walking more to help you recover quicker,”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen was overjoyed. After thanking the doctor, she looked at He Guinian and was so excited that she wanted to cry, “He Guinian, the doctor said that your leg is fine! This is great news!”

He Guinian held her hand, his heart clenched at the sight of her tears, “Since it’s good news, why are you crying?”

“I’m happy,” Her rebirth had finally changed many things, and one of them was He Guinian’s leg.

He Guinian looked at her with his dark eyes and took her hand. His voice was a little hoarse when he said, “Zhenzhen, with you by my side, even if I lose this leg, I’m still willing—”

“No!” Qin Zhen suddenly covered his lips. What she was most afraid of now was that something would happen to his legs. After all, his leg was broken for her in her previous life, but she still left him…

With a warm palm on his lips, He Guinian shut his mouth and unconsciously pursed his lips.

“Shall I help you walk around the courtyard?” Qin Zhen asked.

“Yes.”

Qin Zhen helped He Guinian up and let him lean on her, helping him walk slowly.

He Yi and He Er followed behind them nervously, afraid that Qin Zhen would drop their Young Master.

After a while, Qin Zhen felt exhausted. Not for walking too long, or for carrying much of his weight, but from how hot the sun was.

He Guinian was also very tired. He was afraid of leaning too much on her, so he secretly put most of his weight on his leg. After walking for a while, his legs were sore and painful. In the end, the two of them could not hold on any longer and sat down to rest.

“I realized that your courtyard doesn’t look good at all.” Qin Zhen fanned her face with her hand and looked at the bare ground in disgust. “When we get married, I will fix them up. Why do I feel like I can’t breathe at all? It’s so hot.”

From Qin Zhen’s perspective, what she said was something factual and natural. This would be her future. She was going to marry He Guinian. However, she didn’t realize how her words had shocked the man beside her.

Did she really say that? Was she also imagining their future? Their future, their home…

…

The next day, when Qin Zhen arrived at the classroom, she saw a few girls huddled together with their phones in their hands, discussing which dance they should cover.

“Right now, the most popular dancer is Qu Shen, the dance prodigy! His dance would always set off a wave of excitement! Why don’t we perform his new dance, ‘Love You’? It’s warm and sweet—”

“I think that’s a good idea! To have the chance to dance to my idol’s song on stage is simply an honor!”
