Chapter 121 - 121 Moving Songs
Chu Molin was deeply moved by this song, feeling that it truly resonated with his heart.
He had never heard this song before,
But his young wife had mentioned that it was a military song, perfectly echoing the sentiments within the barracks. Though, was it her own composition, or someone else’s?
“So, Chu Molin, do you like this song?” Qin Xue turned her head nervously to look at Chu Molin.
She sang beautifully in her previous life. As for her voice in this one, she had no idea, since this was her first time singing in several months since her arrival. Moreover, she was singing for this man, hence she was entirely uncertain of her performance.
Just as Qin Xue finished posing her question to Chu Molin, a thunderous applause erupted beside her, startling her.
As it turned out, their co-workers who were passing by had heard Qin Xue’s song and found themselves irresistibly drawn to stick around and listen to its end.
They were normally very afraid of Chu Molin, however, Qin Xue’s mesmerizing voice overpowered their fear.
Consequently, a crowd soon began to gather around them, all wanting to hear more from Qin Xue.
Indeed, Qin Xue sang beautifully, brilliantly expressing homesickness and longing for a lover.
Upon inspection, Qin Xue realized that they had already stepped into the research institute, with crowds passing the training grounds, which was why so many people were around.
Groups of researchers were hanging around, deeply captivated by Qin Xue’s singing.
“Could you please sing another for us?” inquired one individual.
Upon hearing this, Chu Molin’s already stern face turned even colder. He stared daringly at them, “Is everyone really that idle? If so, perhaps it’s time to run laps, or maybe go back and consider how to improve your work.”
The gathered crowd fell immediately silent, sacred. Merciful heavens! He truly deserved his moniker—the ‘Cold King;
His face could scare the living daylights out of anyone, brimming with a biting cold air. It was no wonder that his colleagues had titled him so, he did precisely resemble the legendary figure, didn’t he? Stoic, icy-cold.
Everyone else fled after Chu Molin intervened. Qin Xue looked joyfully at the man with the dark face.
“Xue’er, do you find joy in my anger? Hmm?” He elongated the ending of his sentence, imbuing it with a sense of danger.
Qin Xue distanced herself a bit from him with a dazzling smile, “No.” Yet she felt incredibly endeared by this domineering man and his antics.
Chu Molin swiftly clutched her hand, pulling her close to him. How dare his woman run from him without even consoling him a bit first? Was she itching for a lesson?
“Come here, who told you that you can stray far from me?”
“Chu Molin, you’ll scare our baby by acting this way.” Qin Xue pretended to look terrified, fondling her stomach. Yet, inside, she was practically rolling on the floor laughing.
How could Chu Molin not see through her pretense? He found himself utterly helpless.
He really had no cure for this woman. When he didn’t love her, nothing she did fazed him. However, ever since he fell for her, her every glance could trigger an intense turmoil within his heart.
Chu Molin entertained the thought, “Perhaps this is what it means by a treasure is only precious when you’re in love, yet it’s just grass if it’s unattended.’
While it might not be suitable to compare a person in this way, it was his genuine interpretation. In the past, he only felt responsible towards Qin Xue. Now, he only wished to accompany her.
If he couldn’t be beside her, he might just collapse.
Chu Molin noticed that he was starting to fret over trivial things. He felt extremely insecure about Qin Xue.
“Xue’er, stop using our baby to scare me. Both you and the baby need to be fine, alright?” Chu Molin gently squeezed her hand.
“Absolutely! Even if someone dares to harm me, I swear that I’ll make them regret it. Hmm, let’s see who’s brave enough to test me.” Qin Xue intentionally huffed twice to show that she was not to be messed with. Chu Molin laughed, “Yes, my Xue’er is the strongest..”
