Chapter 7 Cupid's Flight Diary 07
07
After Jing Ran left without looking back, Qiu Xin stood there for a long time, looking at the place where he disappeared, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
She lowered her eyes, dragged her suitcase into the passenger elevator and went upstairs to board the plane.
Before the plane took off, she stared out the window for a while with a blank look in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile at herself.
Every time she came to Zurich, she always came alone and left alone. When she came, she carried with her the longing for Jing Ran, and when she left, she always carried with her the disappointment and pain for him.
She was torturing him repeatedly, but wasn't she also torturing herself?
How she wished she could take him back, or that he could keep her in Zurich forever so that she could escape from that cage.
He must not know how much she didn't want to be separated from him. On the surface, it seemed that he loved her more deeply and earnestly. She could always leave him behind and play with his emotions easily, but her feelings for him were actually richer than the deepest wine in the world.
But he certainly wouldn't think so, would he? At this moment, she thought, he probably wouldn't wait for her anymore.
This man who always smiled gently at her and radiated warmth and kindness, this man who held her in his hands and cherished and doted on her, should never again wait for her silently like a fool. How much love and patience does a person need to have to spend so many years and youth waiting for someone who may never come back?
If it were her, she wouldn't wait any longer.
Qiu Xin could not remember when she fell asleep. She only remembered that she was crying her heart out in her first-class seat, so much so that the passengers and flight attendants next to her felt sorry for her. She cried and cried until she closed her eyes amid the roar of the plane.
Half asleep and half awake, she felt someone squatting beside her. The person seemed to cover her with a blanket and carefully tucked the corners of the blanket for her.
Then the man gently took her hand, touched the back of her hand with his lips, and put her hand back under the blanket.
As seriously and pious as a prince kissing a princess.
"Little liar, I will believe you one last time."
She seemed to hear a familiar voice whispering in her ear.
By the time she woke up completely, the flight was already halfway through. She rubbed her red and swollen eyes, moved her body, and the blanket on her body gently slipped off.
She was startled, looking at the blanket that she hadn't covered herself with. She couldn't help but wonder, was everything she felt in her dream real? Then who was that gentle prince?
Could it be Jing Ran? He should be in the captain's cabin, flying the plane?
No matter how many questions he had, they were not answered. The plane landed safely at T City International Airport a few hours later. After getting off the plane, Qiu Xin's expression was completely different from when he was on the plane just now. It seemed that there was a hint of ruthlessness coming from his bones.
While waiting for her luggage, she sent two WeChat messages with the same content: I'll be home in an hour and have something to talk about.
...
After arriving home, she just opened the door with her key and saw three people sitting on the sofa.
"Are you crazy, Qiu Xin?!" As soon as she entered the room, she saw her mother leap up from the sofa and walk towards her quickly with a sullen face. "You packed up and left without a word. How old are you? Do you have any adult maturity and responsibility? What do you think of us?"
"Did you go to Zurich to look for that mixed-race kid again?" Her father also stood up, pointing at her mother and angrily said, "I told you long ago that you couldn't return her passport. You're just too soft-hearted. Don't you know what kind of personality your own daughter has? It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change a person's nature!"
"Uncle and aunt, please don't be angry." At this time, the third person on the sofa stood up. He greeted her with a very gentle attitude and even leaned over to hug her shoulders affectionately. "Isn't Xinxin back? As long as she's back, it's good. We are all family. There's no need to make too much of a fuss."
Qiu Xin suppressed her nausea and suddenly sneered as she watched her beloved fiancé display this all too familiar hypocritical behavior.
"You still have the nerve to laugh? Look at how good Wang Xi's temper is? He spoils you and goes along with you, and yet you start to act lawless? Where else in the world can you find a boy as good as him?" Mother Qiu started jumping up and down again, scolding as if she was about to cry. "If this kind of good thing you did gets out, where will your father and I put our faces?"
"No one else will know," Wang Xi tried to comfort Mother Qiu. "Aunt, no matter what happens, only the four of us will know. We can resolve conflicts within our small family. No one is a saint. If we make mistakes, we can all be tolerant and understanding of each other."
Qiu Xin looked at the three people, finally removed Wang Xi's hand from his shoulder, and said with a smile, "How about sending you three to the Oscars next year? Each of you can win Best Actor or Best Actress. Even the biggest stars will have to give you some respect."
"You!" Father Qiu was so angry that his face turned blue.
"Don't, don't lecture me. I don't want to hear a single word." Qiu Xin leaned against the gate, his eyes clear of fear. "I came back this time to tell you in person that for so many years I've lived against my will for your so-called career and interests. I haven't had a single day of true happiness. From now on, I want to live for myself."
When she said this, the other three were stunned.
Father Qiu stared with his eyes wide open, stunned, "You are so unfilial..."
"For all these years, I left the people I loved most for you, and gave up my own dreams for you. Every day, I'm bound by your filial piety and this disgusting marriage. If the price of pursuing my freedom is to give up this family relationship, then from now on, just pretend you don't have a daughter like me," she said word by word. "I owe you filial piety, and I'll repay it in my next life."
Mother Qiu looked at her for a few seconds, her eyes reddened. "...Xinxin? Xinxin, have you been brainwashed by someone? How could you be so cruel!"
"Did that half-blood kid teach you to say that?!" Father Qiu was so angry that his face turned red. "Did he?!"
"It has nothing to do with anyone else," she clenched her fists. "You guys forced me to do this. I've been enduring it all the time, but today, I just don't want to endure it anymore."
Wang Xi looked at her from the side, trying to smooth things over. "Xinxin, are you dissatisfied with me in some way? I promise you, from now on I will never fool around again and will be loyal to you. It was all my fault before. I'm a jerk. I shouldn't have..."
But before he could finish, she raised her hand to stop him.
"I don't want to listen to you," she didn't even want to look at him. "You are not qualified to talk about love and loyalty. Being with you is the decision I regret most in my life. Fortunately, I still have time to make amends. I hope you can find a girl who is willing to live in the same room with your three wives and four concubines, and live happily forever."
Wang Xi's face turned completely green.
"I'm here today to say goodbye. After all, there's nothing here worth remembering or caring about. I don't want anything in this house anymore, and I've quit my job. But don't worry, I don't need you to provide me with any financial support. Even if I go begging on the street, I won't take a penny from you. I'm sorry, I can't play house games with you anymore."
She took one last look at the three people in the room with different expressions. These three people had once decided how and where she would go in the rest of her life.
And now, she has broken this deadlock with her own hands.
"Qiu Xin, have you really thought it through? Do you understand what you are doing?" Qiu's mother had already started crying, while Qiu's father pointed at her loudly.
"I understand," she smiled softly, "I just want to go back to the person who has been waiting for me, it's that simple."
I don't want him to wait for me anymore.
I never want to disappoint him again.
I never want to see him cry again.
