The Foolish Gong was Reborn

Xie Zhongxing didn’t know about the dark circle joke so he was a little speechless, “My dark circles only mean that I haven’t been getting enough sleep.”

Xie Zhongxing paused for a moment and added, “And I am in good health.”After all the nourishment, the anaemia and malnutrition from before had been fully cured.
He is now very healthy.Qin Zhongyue, “You’re anxious! The fact that you explained your dark circles first without didn’t immediately refuting means that you do have something you’re hiding from me hehehe.
I caught you, didn’t I? Come, tell me.
What have you been hiding from me?”“…..” Xie Zhongxing wanted to hit him.
He held that urge back and said calmly, “I’m not hiding anything from you.”Qin Zhongyue scrutinised him carefully, “Okay then.
I believe you.”He took out a small velvet box from his pocket and said rather shyly, “A gift from me.”Xie Zhongxing’s heart raced wildly when he saw the size and shape of that box.
His mind was instantly filled with all sorts of thoughts.
Firstly, this place really wasn’t suitable for a proposal.
Secondly, Qin Xiangqian still didn’t know about their relationship.
And lastly, if they were to get married, they would need to go overseas to do it but he currently didn’t have the time to go overseas.More importantly, why didn’t Qin Zhongyue say anything in particular when proposing?Xie Zhongxing had a lot on his mind but he pretended to be calm on the outside, “What’s this?”Qin Zhongyue said, “Open it and take a look.
You’ll like it.”Xie Zhongxing, “It might not be good giving me this now?”Qin Zhongyue was confused, “Why not? Look, it’s already dark.
It’s quite suitable for the occasion.”When Xie Zhongxign heard this, the emotions in him gradually faded away.
Having calmed down somewhat, he reached over to receive the velvet box, took in a deep breath and proceeded to open it.
Inside it was a very beautiful sapphire ring.Xie Zhongxing, “……….”Qin Zhongyue, “This sapphire is called ‘Starry Dream’.
It is very rare in purity and is 56.66 carats.
I bought it at an auction.
Look, doesn’t it go well with the night sky?”Xie Zhongxing, “……..”Xie Zhongxing, “It does go well.”

Qin Zhongyue looked at him and asked quietly, “Why do you seem unhappy?”Xie Zhongxing’s tone was monotonous, “I’m very happy.”Qin Zhongyue seemed to have thought of something and said with a guilty conscience, “It didn’t cost much, don’t worry about it.”Xie Zhongxing only now remembered that such a large sapphire must be quite expensive.
He raised his eyes to look at him, “Tell me the truth.
How much did you buy this for?”Qin Zhongyue refused to speak.Xie Zhongxing calmed down and said, “I’m not trying to blame you for wasting money, I’m just afraid that you’re giving me something that’s too expensive.
I can’t accept it if it’s too expensive.”Qin Zhongyue finally spoke up, “Why can’t you accept it? If you don’t accept it, I don’t have much use for it myself.”Xie Zhongxing took in the large sapphire on the ring and a question mark appeared above his small head, “And I have a use for it?”Qin Zhongyue picked up the sapphire ring, grabbed Xie Zhongxing’s hand and put it on for him, “You really get what you paid for.
As soon as you wear a ring worth fifty million, you instantly become a noble lady! I won’t watch the Cannes red carpet if you’re not there!!!”Xie Zhongxing, “???”Xie Zhongxing, “Fifty million? You bought this for fifty million?”Qin Zhongyue’s eyes were bright, “Yeah, doesn’t it look good? Look carefully, you can see the milky way and the deep sea.
Nature is really amazing.
To think that they could produce something this natural and flawless, it’s gorgeous!!”Xie Zhongxing instantly fell silent.
He slowly raised his hand.
His hands were very fair, with well-defined joints.
On his beautiful hand was the sapphire ring that made him appear even paler.
That sapphire itself was very pure, like the deep sea.
Because of how it refracted the light, it also looked like there were stars in it.
He felt as if he had the whole galaxy in his hand.Such beauty couldn’t be measured using money.At this moment, Xie Zhongxing could understand a woman’s love for jewellery.Feeling touched inside, Xie Zhongxing said earnestly, “It’s beautiful.”Qin Zhongyue, “Despite buying it for fifty million now, it may increase in value to hundreds of millions in a few years.
This is something that will only become more valuable over time.
Only a fool wouldn’t buy it.”Xie Zhongxing, “………”Great.
When he talks to Qin Zhongyue about money matters, he talks about the wonders of nature.
When it was his turn to throw away the concept of money and just enjoy the it’s beauty, Qin Zhongyue on the other hand starts to talk about investing.

The good atmosphere was instantly ruined by Qin Zhongyue.
Qin Zhongyue who was completely unaware was still very pleased, “I’m really an investment genius!”Xie Zhongxing, “Can you just not speak?”“Huh?” Qin Zhongyue was confused, “Why? Did I say something wrong?”Xie Zhongxing both loved and hated that mouth of his.
He loved it because it would always make him happy and cast his worries away but he also hated it because it always ruins the atmosphere at critical moments.He originally thought his temper was pretty good, but in front of Qin Zhongyue, all his patience was gone.Xie Zhongxing took a deep breath and said, “Nothing.
You didn’t say anything wrong.”He moved to take off the sapphire ring and put it on Qin Zhongyue.
He smiled, “Since it’s like this, you can hold onto it and sell it after the value of it rises.”After saying that, he left without looking back.Qin Zhongyue stood frozen in place for a while before reacting belatedly —— Xie Zhongxing’s angry?When Qin Xiangqian returned, he saw Qin Zhongyue standing dazedly in the living room.
After casually asking him what he was doing, he saw Qin Zhongyue let out a shout, “Xing Xing, don’t be angry! I was wrong! I made a mistake!”As he shouted this, he ran towards the elevator.Qin Xiangqian, “…….”Although he didn’t know why Xie Zhongxing was angry, he was certain it was his son’s fault.Apart from Xie Zhongxing, would there be another person who would be able to deal with this idiotic son of his?Xie Zhongxing, are you a living buddha? Qin Xiangqian asked this as he looked upstairs.*The weather today really broke the lower limits of how cold it could get.
Although there was floor heating, Xie Zhongxing still caught a cold.

But he still managed to finish the tasks assigned to him by Qin Xiangqian and even held a small meeting with his two seniors to confirm the direction of their game’s future.
After doing all of that, his fever was even worse than before.Butler Li was the first to notice this abnormality of his.
He quickly called a doctor over to give him an infusion.When Qin Zhongyue returned, he was greeted with Xie Zhongxing’s sickly appearance.
He was taken aback, “What happened?”Xie Zhongxing didn’t have the energy to speak, “Can’t you see? I’m sick.”Qin Zhongyue touched his forehead, “So hot!” He felt very distressed as he took in Xie Zhongxing pale and sickly appearance.
He took a while to formulate his next words, “You should exercise together with me.
That way you can work overtime with a healthier body.”Xie Zhongxing coughed a few times, “En, you’re right.”He raised his eyes and could see the distress in Qin Zhongyue’s eyes.
His eyes softened at this sight.Xie Zhongxing had to admit that there were some selfish intentions in his actions.
He had deliberately shown his weak side to Qin Zhongyue because he wanted Qin Zhongyue’s undisguised concern.Something like this was probably something he would only do at a time like this.Xie Zhongxing was a little ashamed of this.
He really enjoyed Qin Zhongyue’s shows of affection and care — Looks like he wasn’t that much of a fool.
He still cared about him.Because of this, Xie Zhongxing appeared even more sickly.
He coughed violently a few times and curled himself up on the sofa.
He was clearly not short, having almost reached 180 in height, but compared to Qin Zhongyue, he was slender and small.Qin Zhongyue was distressed.
He had felt distressed too many times in this lifetime and most of it was because of Xie Zhongxing.
He hurriedly brought some warm water over for Xie Zhongxing to drink.Xie Zhongxing shook his head, “I don’t want it.’Qin Zhongyue for once was stern, “Drink some, it’ll moisten your throat.
It won’t hurt anymore when you cough.”Xie Zhongxing thought about it, “Just a little then.”After saying that, he supported himself up and took a few sips of the warm water.Qin Zhongyue asked, “Feeling better?”Xie Zhongxing let out a low ‘en’.Qin Zhongyue was also thirsty so he took a few sips as well.
Xie Zhongxing who saw this said, “I drank from it.
Don’t get infected by me.”

Qin Zhongyue, “I’m healthy.
Even if I get infected, the virus won’t live for long.
Don’t worry.”After saying that, he finished the rest of the water and asked Xie Zhongxing, “Do you still want more?”“…….” Xie Zhongxing said, “No.”Qin Zhongyue said, “I thought about it for a while.
I know why you were angry yesterday.”Xie Zhongxing spoke up weakly, “Stop.
Don’t talk about yesterday’s matters.
I’m not angry.
You don’t need to find a reason for it.”Because Qin Zhongyue usually couldn’t figure out the reason for his anger, his guesses will probably just make him angry again.Xie Zhongxing was already familiar with this.But he didn’t want to correct Qin Zhongyue and change this habit of his.Qin Zhongyue’s unusual thought processes was one of his unique characteristics.
If you changed it, would he still be Qin Zhongyue?Xie Zhongxing tried hard to accept it.
By thinking like this, he was able to conversely see a lot more of Qin Zhongyue’s good traits.But Qin Zhongyue’s passionate desire to express himself wasn’t something Xie Zhongxing could stop.
He said seriously, “I have been reflecting for a while.
Take this.”After saying that, he took out a neatly folded paper from inside and carefully opened it.
The word ‘Reflection’ was written in big print at the top.Without waiting for Xie Zhongxing to read the contents, Qin Zhongyue said loudly, “I was wrong.
I shouldn’t have spent fifty million on a stupid diamond, you’re not a girl.
I should’ve bought you a sports car!”Xie Zhongxing, “………”He silently placed his hand on Qin Zhongyue’s leg.Qin Zhongyue straightened up and looked at him expectantly.Xie Zhongxing smiled faintly and then proceeded to pinch his thigh and twist it——-“Ow!!!! Xing Xing, lighter.
Lighter!”Qin Zhongyue’s pitiful cries instantly resounded throughout the villa.
