For some reason, Qiao Xi always had a strange sense of familiarity with him, but it wasn't just a simple feeling of familiarity.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Are you also here to pay respects to a deceased friend?"

"Yes." The man sighed heavily to himself, and said with deep emotion, "Ten years have passed, and we are separated by life and death. I do not think of you, but I cannot forget you. A lonely grave a thousand miles away, where can I speak of my sorrow?"

Qiao Xi faintly detected a hint of sadness in his tone, but she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.

"Is he your lover?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." The man nodded slightly.

Looking at the green bellflower in his hand, Qiao Xi couldn't help but say, "What a coincidence."

The man seemed not to understand her meaning, so Qiao Xi quickly said, "The flowers your lover likes are the same flowers my mother likes."

“She doesn’t like it, but I do.” A bitter smile played on the man’s lips. “She changed her preferences for me, but I didn’t keep my promise.”

Hearing his words, Qiao Xi subconsciously said, "Sometimes people are like that; they only think about cherishing something after they've lost it."

The man nodded approvingly and said, "You're a very perceptive young lady."

Qiao Xi shook her head with a look of shame, "I only realized it when I lost it."

The man's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, held an unfathomable depth. Fortunately, Qiao Xi couldn't see them, otherwise she would definitely have noticed.

Qiao Xi thought that Du Xinyu, that silly boy, was still waiting for her downstairs, probably sleeping here right now. She was worried that if she went back too late, he would die from carbon dioxide poisoning.

"Uncle, then I won't bother you any longer." Qiao Xi bowed to him and left first.

The man smiled and said goodbye, "Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye," Qiao Xi said, but she couldn't help but wonder if they would really see each other again.

After Qiao Xi walked away, the man held flowers in his hands and looked at the photo of Qiao Xi's mother, and said softly, "Xiao Mo, I'm back."

When Qiao Xi arrived at the cemetery entrance, Du Xinyu also arrived. Seeing that Qiao Xi was unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, you're alright."

"What are you doing?" Joey looked at him suspiciously.

Du Xinyu, still somewhat shaken, exclaimed, "I just had a dream... I dreamt about you..."

Qiao Xi frowned halfway through the conversation; her intuition told her that he wouldn't say anything nice.

Du Xinyu stopped the car in time. It was indeed a nightmare, but now that he saw that Qiao Xi was alright, there was no need to say anything more.

"Going home?" Du Xinyu asked immediately.

Qiao Xi felt that he was asking a question he already knew the answer to, but considering that he had given up sleeping in to come to the cemetery with her today, she would try her best to accommodate him. "Where do you want to go?"

Du Xinyu immediately grinned slyly and said, "Sister-in-law, considering how diligently I've been cleaning the house these past few days, how about you take me... out for something nice to eat?"

"What would you like to eat?" Qiao Xi asked generously.

Du Xinyu unconsciously swallowed. "I saw a nice Japanese restaurant on the way here. Shall we go?"

Qiao Xi hadn't realized before that he was a foodie, and that eating seemed to be his greatest pleasure.

If it's just this request, Qiao Xi can still fulfill it. "Let's go."

Du Xinyu was indeed a foodie; relying on his memory of the place, he actually found the restaurant.

It's a little past 10 a.m., and the restaurant has probably just opened for business.

However, when Qiao Xi arrived at the store, she found that it was not a purely Japanese restaurant. The interior decoration was not Japanese at all, but rather Chinese, and there were quite a few people enjoying desserts and drinks inside.

Du Xinyu was probably attracted by its novel model. After entering, he found a window seat on the recommendation of the waiter.

"Hello, here is the menu." The waiter handed them the menu with a warm welcome.

Looking at the desserts and drinks in front of the people around her, Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Are the desserts and drinks all on top of this too?"

The waiter smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes."

Du Xinyu ordered a dessert for himself first, and then started ordering the main course. Qiao Xi didn't feel very hungry, so she casually ordered a fruit salad for herself and then handed the menu to the waiter.

Just then, a woman's shrill voice rang out in the restaurant, "Qin Yang, don't push your luck!"

"I really have no interest in Miss Wu," Qin Yang said calmly and casually.

"Not interested?" The woman suddenly stood up, grabbed the drink on the table, and splashed it on Qin Yang's face. "Who do you think you are? Who gives you the right to refuse me?"

Qin Yang showed no anger. He still elegantly picked up a tissue from the table and wiped himself, saying to her as he did so, "As a person, you have the right to refuse."

The woman's beautiful face contorted with anger. She slammed the empty drink glass heavily on the table. "Fine, I'll wait until you come crying to me."

Qin Yang didn't take his warning seriously, but he wasn't really not angry. He just didn't want to argue with her. Sometimes, the more you argue with a woman, the more she feels that you care about her.

All eyes were on him, watching the spectacle unfold, but he remained unmoved and got up to go to the restroom to take care of himself.

Ignoring the stares of those around them, Qiao Xi stepped forward and asked with concern, "Dr. Qin, are you alright?"

Qin Yang was surprised to run into her here. "Mrs. Qi, what a coincidence."

"Do you want to go to the restroom to clean up first?" Qiao Xi felt uncomfortable looking at the juice on his face and body.

Qin Yang was about to handle it when he said, "Okay, just a moment."

Du Xinyu had seen everything clearly just now, and he said with deep feeling, "I knew it, women are all the same, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he received a warning look from Qiao Xi, and immediately changed his words, saying, "Except for you."

Qiao Xi took out a prepaid card without a PIN from her bag and gestured to him, saying, "Go buy Dr. Qin some clean clothes nearby."

"Why should I go?" Du Xinyu was still thinking about the food he had ordered.

Qiao Xi replied to him in a serious tone, "You're a man."

"Are men easy to bully?" Du Xinyu blurted out.

Qiao Xi felt he had misunderstood, and had to explain something to him, "Do you want me to buy clothes for other men?"

"If your brother finds out, do you think it would be worse than losing a single hair on my head?" Qiao Xi was clearly and frantically hinting to him.

Having said all that, Du Xinyu had no choice but to agree. "I'll go right away."

"Password." He reluctantly asked Josh for her password.

Qiao Xi, unusually generous, told him, "No password needed, just swipe."

That's outrageously extravagant!
