☆、 Extra: Rinzawa Arc (HE)

"Sister, wait for me, I'll be back soon." Qiu Ze didn't want to talk about those things in front of Qiu Yu who had just woken up, so he turned around and pulled Nan Lin and said, "Let's talk."

Since I can't let go, I'll just let him give up on himself, Nan Lin thought to himself.

Nan Lin was still in the joy of regaining what he had lost. He was slightly stunned when he heard this, but soon nodded. He followed Qiu Ze, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. Qiu Ze's actions made him feel a little uneasy.

Qiuyu looked much better. She smiled slightly with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Don't worry about me, Xiaoze, just talk it out." Qiuyu looked at Qiuze's back and a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes. She didn't know what happened to Qiuze, but he must have been very hard.

Qiu Ze brought Nan Lin out of the room. He kept his head down the whole time and reluctantly told her everything he had done. His voice was very soft, but every word seemed to be cutting his heart.

But he pretended to be calm and said, "So, you don't understand me, so you say you like me. I'm just pretending to like you..."

"Nan Lin, do you know? I have actually been lying to you all along." Qiu Ze's voice trembled a little. He didn't dare to look up at Nan Lin, for fear of seeing his disappointed eyes.

Nan Lin's heart suddenly sank. He held Qiu Ze's hand tightly, and said anxiously, "Xiao Ze, what did you say?"

Qiu Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "The me you know and like is just a pretender. I'm not as good as you think..." He is simply terrible and does not deserve sympathy or forgiveness.

Nan Lin's heart ached. He didn't know what the boy was talking about. He held Qiu Ze's hand tightly and said firmly, "Xiao Ze, I don't believe it. I know what kind of person you are."

Qiu Ze's eyes were red again. He raised his head and looked at Nan Lin. His voice was choked with sobs: "I knew it would be like this."

"Don't follow me! Please, give each other some time..." He knew this would happen. Why did he always have hope again and again, and then be disappointed again...

Qiu Ze held back her tears, gritted her teeth, turned around and walked into the darkness until her figure disappeared from the man's sight.

Nan Lin stared blankly at his empty hands, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment. His eyes were filled with confusion and pain, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

He stood there as if frozen in place, his body trembling slightly, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.

"Xiao Ze..." Nan Lin murmured softly, his voice choked with sobs, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. How much he hoped that this was all just a dream, how much he hoped Qiu Ze could come back to him and tell him that this was just a joke.

Nan Lin's mind kept replaying Qiu Ze's words. His voice, his eyes, and his every move were deeply engraved in his heart.

He knew that he couldn't easily forget Qiu Ze, nor could he easily let go of this relationship, so he reacted and chased after her immediately, but the person had already left.

He came out in a daze, his steps unsteady, as if he had lost his balance.

He stared ahead with empty eyes, his heart filled with loss and unwillingness. After knowing the truth, he didn't blame the boy at all, but his thoughts were confused and he didn't know what to do for a while.

He lowered his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He wanted to tell him that he understood him and didn't blame him, as long as he was willing to come back to him...

But there are so many worlds, and finding Qiu Ze is undoubtedly as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Nan Lin suddenly thought of something, he raised his head abruptly, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision: he must find the person back no matter what, and this time he could not give up on him again.

Half a month later, Qingqing woke up, and Nanlin was unable to come to see him, but went abroad alone. He remembered that he had promised Qiuze that they would go abroad and get married after the end of the world.

"Mo Mo, Brother Qiu Ze is a very good person. He didn't do anything. I did it voluntarily..." Qing Qing was very sad when she learned that the two of them were missing.

He knew that his brother might go to look for Brother Qiu Ze, and he also knew that he might have inadvertently caused misunderstandings to his brother and the others, so he blamed himself.

Shen Xuanmo was slightly stunned when he heard Qingqing's words. He raised his head with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He knew that Qingqing's little head was starting to have wild thoughts again.

Shen Xuanmo had no choice but to comfort him and said that when everything was fine, he would take him to see Nan Lin and the others. He believed that Nan Lin would get what she wished for by then.

He gently held Qingqing's hand, his voice soft and gentle: "Don't worry, Qingqing, your brother knows it, and Qiu Ze knows it too." It's just that some things they need to figure out slowly on their own.

Because he was worried that something might have happened to the two of them, Shen Xuanmo kept sending people to look for them, but to no avail. It was not until two years later that they received a letter from Nan Lin.

Qingqing was so excited that she was ruined. Shen Xuanmo smiled slightly and put his arm around Qingqing's shoulders: "Go ahead, I'll go with you to see him."

Before Nan Lin went to Qiu Ze, he casually mentioned all the places, but he was nowhere to be found, as if they were deliberately avoiding him. However, God helps those who work hard, and he finally found the person.

Qiu Ze settled down with her sister in a beautiful town abroad. Although their life was dull, it was full of warmth, although he occasionally couldn't help but think of someone.

Qiuyu's body has completely recovered, and she also found her destined person in a chance encounter. Now Qiuze is the only one left, bored and hanging around here watering the flowers and feeding the cats every day. He has done almost everything he wanted to do before.

When he was free, he would always think of Nan Lin's stern face, and then as he was thinking about it, one day that person seemed to have heard his thoughts and really appeared in front of him.

That day, Qiu Ze was really bored and planned to go out for a walk. However, when he crossed a busy street and walked into the crowd, suddenly, his footsteps stopped.

In the crowd, he saw those eyes - the eyes that had appeared in his dreams countless times. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, almost jumping out of his throat.

The moment their eyes met, the air stopped flowing, leaving only two beating hearts. It had only been two years, but it seemed like a long time had passed, and yet it seemed like it had just happened yesterday.

Nan Lin's face remained the same, but her eyes were more mature and determined. Qiu Ze's hair had grown longer, and his eyes were more stable.

"Nan... Nanlin?" Qiu Ze finally couldn't help but break the silence. His voice trembled a little and his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

Qiu Ze's heart was trembling. He couldn't believe that Nan Lin would really appear here. His first reaction was to escape and he turned around and wanted to run away.

But Nan Lin seemed to have anticipated his reaction and followed him quietly, neither fast nor slow, as if she had recognized him and couldn't get rid of him.

Only after closing the door did Qiu Ze dare to take a deep breath. He glanced outside and saw no one was there, thinking that the other person was already there. He couldn't help feeling a little lost inside.

However, when he opened the door, there was a bouquet of flowers and a letter at the door. The letter expressed his love and stated that he would wait until the day when Qiu Ze was willing to face their relationship.

Every day after that, Nan Lin would put her things away before he got up, and then hide in the corner and watch him silently.

But before he succeeded in getting the person back, Shen Xuanmo and Nan Qing came to see him. Qingqing's face became rounder and more adorable. Knowing that he was doing well with Shen Xuanmo, she felt relieved and rejected the suggestion to go back together.

He has not yet received Qiu Ze's forgiveness, but this time he will firmly choose him...even if the boy never wants to face him, it doesn't matter.

"Why did you leave?" Qiu Ze rubbed his eyes and looked at the sneaky Nan Lin and said. It was winter now and the morning was so cold that it made people shiver. He couldn't bear it and said, "You are not cold, but I am. Come in!"

Nan Lin stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in surprise, then followed Qiu Ze into the house.

The room was warm, in stark contrast to the cold outside. Nan Lin's hands were frozen red, but her heart was warm at the moment.

"Xiao Ze...you don't blame me anymore?" Nan Lin said a little uncomfortably.

Qiu Ze took out a hand warmer from the cabinet, plugged it in, waited for a while and handed it to Nan Lin: "Here, warm your hands, you stupid!" Nan Lin was overjoyed and wanted to hug Qiu Ze happily.

"Xiao Ze, have you made up your mind?" The two had been reconciled for almost a month, and one day Qiu Ze suddenly decided to return home.

"Well, I still have to go and be Qingqing's neighbor." Nan Lin accompanied her and did everything again. Now that his sister no longer needed him, this was the only thing he hadn't completed.

"Okay, I'll go wherever you go." Nan Lin hugged his waist, gave him a kiss and said lovingly.
