Time Traveling to 23 Years Later with My Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 15
While Chu Qing was internally grumbling about not being her parents' biological child, she looked towards Qi Weichen along with her parents, also curious about why he had chosen her.

The gap between them was too great. For a long time after he had agreed to be with her, she couldn't believe it was real. She really didn't understand how such a good student could be so blind, but she didn't dare to actually ask him. What if he realized he truly was blind and broke up with her?

Later, when they time-traveled, she rarely thought about this question anymore and naturally never asked. Now that her parents brought it up, she wanted to know the answer again.

Under the gaze of the three, Qi Weichen calmly answered Mother's question: "Uncle and Auntie have taken care of her for so many years, you should know her good qualities better than I do. I'm the one who's fortunate to be with her."

Chu Qing: "?" What's this, just some empty flattery?

She was a bit dissatisfied, but her parents really liked Qi Weichen's answer. Father, who had been frowning all along, finally softened his expression: "That's true. Though my daughter may be lazy and gluttonous, and often causes trouble, she has a kind heart. Everyone likes her."

Chu Qing: "..." A bunch of flaws listed first, and only one virtue of kindness after the "but"?

"Anyway, you two will be quarantined together for a while. Don't say uncle doesn't trust you. You're still a boy, and at an age where it's easy to be impulsive. Let me be blunt upfront: if you dare to do anything with my daughter during this time, even if I die, I will never accept you as my son-in-law," Father said sternly.

Chu Qing sheepishly replied, "Dad, we won't."

"You'd better not, otherwise, if anything happens, I'll break your legs," Mother chimed in.

After the parents expressed their stance, they both looked at Qi Weichen. Qi Weichen was silent for a moment before saying, "Uncle, Auntie, I promise I'll behave and won't do anything inappropriate."

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll leave my daughter with you for a few days. When the quarantine is over, I'll come pick her up. In a while, Auntie will transfer some living expenses to you. Check if the supermarket in your community is still open and try to stock up on food as much as possible," Mother instructed.

Qi Weichen was about to say he had money, but Chu Qing lightly pinched his thigh, so he changed his words to: "Thank you, Uncle and Auntie."

After dealing with her parents, Chu Qing put her phone aside and nervously asked, "Will they beat me when the quarantine is over?"

"If you study hard during this time and show them your progress, they won't beat you," Qi Weichen comforted her.

Chu Qing snorted lightly, "My current grades are already a big surprise to them."

"But there's still a gap to A University," Qi Weichen pinched her face.

Chu Qing: "... Please don't discourage me."

Qi Weichen chuckled, then went to get a mask from the flower stand by the door, preparing to go out. Chu Qing asked, "Where are you going?"

"To the supermarket," Qi Weichen replied.

Chu Qing quickly stood up, "Wait for me, I'll go too."

"We don't have enough masks, we need to save them. You stay at home and wait for me," Qi Weichen refused.

Chu Qing stopped, "Alright then... Be careful and come back soon."

"Mm, I'll be quick."

After Qi Weichen left, Chu Qing sat in the living room waiting. It took almost an hour before he returned.
