| ← Ch.191 | Ch.193 → |
Three weeks after He Yiyi's death, Duan Yunxuan finally walked out from the feeling of loss and regret.
After all, she was a girl that he doted on. Even if she were to die suddenly, anyone would feel sad.
He Yiyi knew that there was some sort of relationship between him and Su Jinyi, but she did not know the actual facts of the matter. Or rather, it could be said that no one knew.
He suddenly thought of Xiao Qiu.
It was obvious that this matter had a huge impact on Su Jinyi, so he guessed that she must have told Xiao Qiu something.
If he could get some information from Xiao Qiu, he would feel better.
As he thought about it, he called.
In this period of time, He Ruiting had not appeared in the company, and as if he had disappeared.
Xiao Qiu had called Su Jinyi twice, but no one had answered; even when she had sent the message, there was still no reply.
Just as she was about to ask Su Jinyi if something had happened, Duan Yunxuan called her back.
"Hello? Manager Duan."
"Xiao Qiu, I..."I'm a bit sad. Are you free to come out and see me?"
Hearing the word "sad" from Duan Yunxuan, his heart also started to become sad.
"Okay." This time she did not evade or evade, and she did so cleanly.
In the evening, Duan Yunxuan appeared in front of Xiao Qiu.
The moment Xiao Qiu saw him, she didn't feel good about it.
Because at this moment, Duan Yunxuan seemed to have lost his usual elegant and handsome self, his hair had grown a bit, and he did not seem to have much care; his beard had been shaved, too. He was a young and handsome man, and at that moment, he looked like a destitute man.
"Manager Duan, what's wrong?"
In the coffee shop, Xiao Qiu sat opposite to Duan Yunxuan. Like a little kitten, she lightly tilted her head and asked a question.
Seeing Xiao Qiu being so obedient, the dark clouds that had been enveloping Duan Yunxuan's heart for the past few days started to part.
He suddenly realized that he would be inexplicably happy whenever he saw Xiao Qiu. Could it be?? Did he like her?
"Yiyi, something happened."
"What?"
Seeing her reaction, Duan Yunxuan knew that Su Jinyi never mentioned anything about this matter, which made him even more baffled.
"Did sister-in-law tell you?" he asked.
"Sis Jinyi? No. What's weird is that I couldn't get in touch with her these few days. I wanted to ask her out, but you asked me out just in time, so?? "
Duan Yunxuan suddenly understood that He Yiyi's death had an especially close co ection with Su Jinyi. Otherwise, she would not even have ignored Xiao Qiu, since Xiao Qiu was the one who helped her escape from the He family at that time!
"Yi Yi died accidentally two weeks ago."
"How could this be?"
Although Xiao Qiu knew that He Yiyi had done a lot of a oying things, she was still stu ed when a living person suddenly disappeared.
Duan Yunxuan shook his head.
"I don't know about the details. I thought that my sister-in-law would chat with you. She doesn't seem to be in a good mood either."
"But she never looked for me."
Duan Yunxuan nodded, and did not continue the line of questioning.
The two of them had a simple meal. Xiao Qiu saw that he was not in a good mood, so she changed the method to joke around, in order to make him happy.
"Thank you." Duan Yunxuan suddenly thanked him.
"Thank? "Thank me for what?"
"I can see that you're taking care of my emotions. That's ridiculous. As a soldier, how could I be so depressed because of the departure of a close friend?"
When Duan Yunxuan said this, he disagreed.
"So what if you're a soldier? Soldiers were human beings, too. They were all flesh and blood. If the person you have known for many years and loved suddenly passed away and you don't feel sad, in my opinion, that is cold-blooded! It's the devil! It has nothing to do with being a soldier."
Xiao Qiu spoke a few righteous words, causing him to ponder even more.
"You just said??" Do you know that I like Yiyi? "
"Even a fool would be able to tell."
"Then how do you know if you liked it before?"
Duan Yunxuan's words suddenly caused Xiao Qiu to be at a loss. She didn't know where he should look, and this was entirely an accident in his subconscious mind. He also didn't understand why he was so sure that Duan Yunxuan already didn't like his anymore!
Seeing her panicking, Duan Yunxuan laughed, and did not pursue further, changing the topic.
looked at the time on his phone, and said softly: "Manager Duan, it's so late. I'm going home to rest, I still have to go to work tomorrow."
Duan Yunxuan was not willing to part with him, because when he was with Xiao Qiu, his heart was very peaceful, and he did not need to worry about those things that would cause him to be distracted.
This feeling was very magical, just like magic.
Even though he was unwilling, he still nodded.
Before she left, Xiao Qiu suddenly thought of something, and looked like she wanted to say something, but was embarrassed instead.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? " Duan Yunxuan saw through it with a glance.
Xiao Qiu seemed to be thinking about something especially important, as she cautiously nodded and asked, "Manager Duan, the reason you sought me out today was because of Miss He, right?"
"What?"
"You just want to ask if Sis Jinyi has said anything, right?"
"Is that why it's so important?"
Xiao Qiu nodded.
The two of them stood together, facing each other at around four to five meters, Duan Yunxuan slowly walked towards Xiao Qiu, stood in front of her, and looked at her carefully under the dim light of the street lamp.
"How..."What's wrong?" Xiao Qiu was terrified.
"Xiao Qiu, trying to understand sister-in-law's thoughts is just to see you."
"One?"
"Yes, there's another one."
"What is it?"
"I??" Duan Yunxuan lowered his head and sighed. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Qiu's bright eyes, like that of a lively deer.
Xiao Qiu's mischievous attitude from before flashed across his mind like a movie.
He could no longer remember when he first took an interest in this girl, only that he was irresistible to that feeling.
Duan Yunxuan unconsciously licked his tongue, he leaned forward and gave Xiao Qiu a gentle kiss on the corner of his mouth.
"The answer you want."
With that, he turned and left.
Xiao Qiu stood where she was, dumbstruck, her cheeks burning hot and her head spi ing. She had even forgotten what she had said and was thinking before.
When she regained her senses, Duan Yunxuan had already left.
Looking at his back figure, Xiao Qiu suddenly felt that there was something different.
When the two of them met, he looked dispirited, with no trace of sunlight on his face. But now, after the time it took to eat a meal, he seemed to be imbued with boundless energy. Even from the back, it seemed like there was light shining, making one want to rely on such a person.
"It's over, " she said to herself."Xiao Qiu, you're dead this time."
