Reborn: Fatty, Get Out of the Way

Love everyone, trust a few, wrong no one., Shakespeare

"You know how every country has a top-secret intelligence agency that carries out classified missions for the government?" Su Qian paused, then said quietly, "My dad works for one."

Zhu Zhengyou cried out, "No way! You're kidding, right?"

Su Qian shot him a stern look. "Didn't I just tell you to keep your voice down?"

"My mom works in management there, something like a secretary. She goes on missions with the team, so I hardly ever see either of them."

"Wait, aren't they supposed to be in business?"

"That's just a cover story. The government made up those identities. If they were really businesspeople, why would they stay away from home for years?"

Zhu Zhengyou was still trying to make sense of it, only half-believing him and thinking the whole thing sounded far-fetched. Then he asked, "So no one's been looking after your house?"

"Yeah, there's no one at home to look after me."

"Does Yuan Zheng know about this?"

Su Qian asked in surprise, "Why would I tell him?"

Zhu Zhengyou's heart pounded. He couldn't calm down, desperately trying to suppress his feelings with reason, until he heard Su Qian say, "I only told you."

I only told you.

The words exploded beside the chubby boy's ear like thunder, and a storm surged through his heart. He had always vaguely felt he was different from everyone else to Su Qian, but feared he was only imagining it. Now that feeling had become certain.

He had always felt that he was the only one standing by Su Qian's side, the only one who understood him. For a moment, he even wanted to tear open his chest and show Su Qian his heart, that burning-hot heart.

One-on-one pairing, happy ending.
