Chapter 83

After the party ended, Chu Ge, who was still relatively sober, took charge of cleaning up the mess, while Qin Su and Ye Yan took each of the drunk people back to their rooms.

"Working is so tiring, I don't want to work anymore." Xu Shishi sat on the edge of the bed, hugging Qin Su's waist and wailing, "Marrying into a wealthy family is so hard, pleasing others is so tiring, Su Su, Su Su, please take care of me, please, waaaaaah, I don't want to work hard anymore."

Qin Su calmly replied, "The camera isn't off."

"What?!" Xu Shishi exclaimed in surprise, scrambling to her feet and changing her expression in an instant. "I was just kidding, haha, I am a new-era workplace elite after all."

She realized something was wrong after she finished posing. Looking around, she saw no cameras; they had all been removed long ago.

"You lied to me!" Xu Shishi immediately rushed back to hug Qin Su, "Waaaaah, my life is so miserable... Ouch, your waist is so thin, let me touch it again..."

Qin Su was speechless. She grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her away, saying, "I know you're not completely drunk. Stop fooling around and go take a shower and go to bed."

As Xu Shi was being dragged away, he stubbornly clung to Qin Su's clothes, staring at her with a look that said, "I have something to say."

Qin Su pretended not to notice and patted her wrist: "Let go."

Xu Shishi sighed in exasperation: "Fine, you heartless woman."

She threw a tantrum, and this woman remained completely unmoved; she was truly cold-blooded and heartless.

Qin Su ignored her, turned around and went downstairs again. She wanted to see how the terrace was tidied up, but when she opened the door, she found that only Ye Yan was there.

Ye Yan sat sideways on the rattan chair, knowing who it was without turning his head, and said, "Chu Ge has gone back to her room."

Qin Su walked to his side: "Why are you still here?"

Ye Yan said, "I'm looking at the moon."

Qin Su followed his gaze and smiled, "The weather is really nice tonight."

Ye Yan didn't speak, but looked up at the starry night sky, slightly lost in thought.

The bright moonlight spilled over the treetops and leaves in the distance, over this balcony, and bathed the two people in a gentle, serene, and beautiful light.

After a long pause, Ye Yan suddenly whispered, "Su Shi has a very famous poem."

His words came out of nowhere, and Qin Su was taken aback, wondering why he suddenly brought this up. She asked, "Did you say 'When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky'?"

This is a poem written by Su Shi when he missed his younger brother Su Zhe during the Mid-Autumn Festival one year. The last line, "May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, though we are thousands of miles apart," is a classic line that anyone who has studied for a few years can recite.

“Yes.” Ye Yan chuckled enigmatically and repeated the sentence, “Sharing the same moon across a thousand miles… I used to believe in such things.”

After she disappeared, when the whole world forgot her, he would wake up in the middle of the night countless times, looking at the moon and thinking that it didn't matter, he remembered, the moon remembered, the moon had witnessed their love.

She's so smart, she'll definitely be alright. Maybe she's looking at the same moon as him right now.

Though separated by vast distances, we share this moment; though a thousand miles apart, we share the same moon. The moonlight is the connection between him and her.

It wasn't until the day this world regained its memories that Ye Yan, sitting in a dark room, saw a thin ray of moonlight shining through the gap in the curtains, and suddenly understood.

Separation is separation; there is no such thing as sharing the same moment. Even across the vast land of China, the weather can vary greatly, let alone the vast expanse of time and space that separates Qin Su from him.

He was just looking at the moon by himself.

The moon rises in the east and sets in the west, never caring about his love, hate, infatuation, or anger.

Ye Yan didn't look at Qin Su beside him, but all his thoughts and emotions were focused on her.

What does he think of her?

He couldn't bear to look at her; the moment he saw her, he couldn't hide his feelings at all.

She was like moonlight, falling on his heart. She was weightless, yet she made all his emotions burst forth and become impossible to hide.

With her intelligence and keen perception, she is very likely to leave without saying goodbye again once she senses something is wrong, unless she is fully prepared.

At this moment, Ye Yan finally made a decision in his heart.

Qin Su glanced at him, as if she sensed something.
