As she spoke, Du Qinglan pressed the handkerchief close to her heart and let out a soft sob.
"I am able to have a place to stay because of the pity of a kind person. That kind person just pitied me and did not make any demands on me. I am innocent, but the neighbors said some unpleasant things. You did not ask me about the details. Even if you guessed that my past might not be honorable, you did not care?"
"Brother Da Meng, you are the best person to me. I am deeply moved and have no way to repay you. I am truly ashamed."
“Your family members are all so good and so outstanding. I am an orphan girl, and I have no face to appear in front of them. Tell me, how should I respond to you?”
Du Qinglan spoke softly, occasionally wiping away the tear stains at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
She cried and cried until she lay down on the bed, exhausted, and slowly fell asleep.
Qiao Lian'er lightly lifted her toes and went out the door.
Once you've been to a place like this and have a precise location of your footprint, you can directly reach the house next time.
Otherwise, you'll end up in a random place, either inside or outside the destination—basically, somewhere near the final destination.
That's why, after Qiao Lian'er first fell into the alley, she didn't come back until the heavy snow stopped.
If she landed in the yard, she would leave a trail of footprints, which would arouse suspicion.
However, she didn't know that Du Qinglan was even more perceptive than she had imagined; she possessed a level of perception that was difficult for ordinary people to match.
This is why the person behind it chose her to do this job.
When Qiao Lian'er left the alley, she felt that there was no sound of footsteps at all. The person on the bed slowly opened her eyes, and a coldness suddenly appeared.
Yes, she could detect and distinguish the sounds that had just entered the alley, whether the people were male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, how many there were, and even what their personalities were and whether they had any ill intentions.
She knew that Qiao Lian'er had come.
They rummaged through everything in sight.
Du Qinglan sat up, a contemptuous smile on her lips, and with a flick of her wrist, tossed the handkerchief she was holding into the trash can.
Qiao Lian'er sat on the waterside pavilion, holding a hot water bottle in her arms, sipping warm tea while thinking about what she had just witnessed.
A person's truest self is revealed in their private moments.
Du Qinglan, with tears in her eyes and overflowing with gratitude, spoke from the bottom of her heart.
She was truly sincere towards Da Meng Ge.
Could it be that she misunderstood her? Should she not have thought the worst of a lonely and helpless woman?
Qiao Lian'er took a sip of tea, a thoughtful expression on her face.
After dinner, Da Meng went out as night began to fall; he was going to see Du Qinglan.
He saved a bowl of rice in his stomach so that he could eat properly with Du Qinglan.
Qiao Lian'er closed the door to the room, put on her invisibility cloak, and followed. Da Meng was completely unaware as they entered a teahouse.
Du Qinglan was waiting for him in the private room. She had already ordered several tea dishes and some fried and grilled snacks.
She changed into a pink cloak, carefully wrapping her slender body inside, making her appear even more delicate and fragile, which melted Da Meng's heart.
Du Qinglan glanced at the gloomy sky outside. After a few days of slight warming, it had turned bitterly cold again. If nothing unexpected happened, it would snow again tonight.
"It's going to snow. I thought you weren't coming."
