Chapter 69: Talking

The room on the right side of the second floor was empty. A little bear diary was locked up by its owner and lay alone in the drawer of the desk.

Whenever you open the latest page of the diary, you can see a line of words written on it: It’s the seventh day since Qin Shi left, and I still miss him very much.

The weather was gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky, and the air was filled with a stuffy and humid smell.

On the streets of Bairong, pedestrians are walking in a hurry. Those who don’t bring umbrellas are rushing to get home quickly before it rains, as they don’t want to get soaked like a drowned rat.

Inside a quaint corner bookstore, the lights are bright, and a dazzling array of books are arranged on the shelves, with clear divisions. Many customers are browsing the bookshelves, sitting or standing, and the atmosphere inside is very quiet.

A young clerk sat at the cashier counter, looking up at the gloomy sky outside, her face propped up in boredom, calculating how long it would take before the store closed and she even wanted to go home and pet her cat.

At this time, lightning streaked across the sky, thunder rumbled violently, strong winds swept in, and heavy rain poured down in an instant, crackling on the pedestrians who did not bring umbrellas, instantly wetting their hair and clothes.

In the corner of the bookstore, at the moment when thunder and lightning suddenly sounded, a thin beta trembled all over, his face suddenly turned pale, and the fingertips holding the book couldn't help but clench a little.

Today is the seventh day, and Qin Shi still hasn't returned.

Li Yuqing's longing for Qin Shi did not diminish as time went by since Qin Shi left. Instead, it continued to spread as time went by since Qin Shi left. The more he missed him, the lonelier and longer it felt.

Li Yuqing clicked on the simple black and white signature avatar at the top of the phone over and over again. He deleted and reduced the words typed in the input box, but in the end he didn't send out a single message.

Qin Shi left in a hurry that day, and he went out to do some important business. Since he said he would be back in a few days, he would be back in a few days. Li Yuqing trusted him very much.

In fact, on the first day Qin Shi left, Li Yuqing wanted to send a message to Qin Shi. He really wanted to ask him what he was doing and when he would come back.

But Li Yuqing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he couldn't disturb him casually. After all, everyone has different thoughts and feelings. What if he sent more than a dozen messages to Qin Shi and Qin Shi saw it and felt a little annoyed by him?

That won’t work. Li Yuqing doesn’t want to be a troublemaker.

So, he forcibly controlled his desire to send a message to Qin Shi, and instead waited slowly for Qin Shi to come back.

The number of pages in the diary slowly increased. Although Li Yuqing did not call or send messages to Qin Shi, he wrote line after line of words in the diary, recording his growing longing and love for Qin Shi, which never diminished.

In recent days, Li Yuqing would go out for a walk, buy some snacks at a snack shop, buy some cute little dolls at a doll shop, or go somewhere else, and then take a taxi back.

On Sunday, he came to the bookstore on the corner, found a quiet and deserted corner, picked up a novel, and sat in front of a small wooden table, planning to slowly kill time here.

Just when Li Yuqing was immersed in the wonderful novel and couldn't extricate himself, the next second, a rumbling thunder sounded, instantly pulling him back to reality.

The white lightning was blinding, the thunder roared violently, and the power was a bit too scary. Li Yuqing in the corner trembled, his face turned pale, and he clenched the novel in his hand a little tighter. His round eyes revealed a bit of fear and terror.

"Are you okay? You look a little pale. Are you afraid of thunder?"

At this moment, a clear male voice suddenly sounded above Li Yuqing's head, and then a handsome alpha squatted down, looked at Li Yuqing and asked softly, his tone was very gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring him.

In fact, Lin Xu had already noticed a pretty little beta sitting in this quiet corner of the bookstore. Unexpectedly, this pretty little beta was afraid of thunder, and with her round eyes wide open, it was impossible to ignore her.

"Ah? Me?" Li Yuqing was sitting on a chair. He was stunned when he heard these words suddenly. He sat on the chair with his fingers resting on the novel and asked in a puzzled voice.

Then, he saw clearly the face of a stranger appearing in front of him, and his body immediately leaned back subconsciously, trying to keep a safe distance.

The next second, Li Yuqing realized what was going on. He thanked the person in front of him awkwardly, "Um, I'm fine... I'm fine, thank you, don't worry about me."

After saying that, Li Yuqing lowered his head and used the novel to cover his face. He didn't know this person, so why was he suddenly talking to him? It felt so strange.

Li Yuqing is not a person who likes to talk to strangers. For him, even if a stranger simply shows concern for him, he will feel very uncomfortable and want to escape.

Lin Xu chuckled, thinking that this pretty little beta was very interesting. It made him want to ask Li Yuqing's name. At the same time, he wanted to get to know Li Yuqing better, just as an ordinary friend.

Just when he was about to talk to Li Yuqing, a steady sound of footsteps was heard at the door of the bookstore, which could not be ignored.

Then a tall figure walked in. The S-level alpha had an extremely superior appearance and figure, which immediately attracted the attention of many people in the bookstore. Even the clerk who was sitting in a daze sat up straight.

Li Yuqing had not noticed the person walking in. He was sitting at a small desk in the corner and could not see the door. He even raised the novel in his hand to cover his face, making it even harder for him to notice.

I don't know when the thunder outside disappeared, and the strong wind swept the rain down. The ground suddenly became wet, and the accumulated water spread on the road.

The lights in the store were bright, the clock pointed to half past six in the evening, and it was beginning to get dark.

Li Yuqing lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. He didn't know when Qin Shi would come back. He missed Qin Shi so much.

In this quiet corner of the bookstore, there are only Li Yuqing and Lin Xu.

At this time, Lin Xu gently tapped the table, attracting the attention of the person in front of him. Then he said softly with a smile: "My name is Lin Xu. What's your name? Can you tell me? Let's just make friends and get to know each other."

"I···"

Li Yuqing was stunned for a moment and paused, a little confused. He had just covered his face and ignored him, so why did this man named Lin Xu keep talking to him?

Just as he was about to speak, a tall and handsome alpha walked towards him from an unknown direction, and his steady footsteps interrupted the conversation.

Qin Shi was wearing a black windbreaker, his face was stern, and he stood there straight. His dark eyes looked directly into Lin Xu's smiling eyes, and his eyes were extremely cold.
