Chapter 177 Darkness
A trace of panic flashed across Qin Fang's face, but he quickly returned to normal.
He said to Xu Qingsui: "It's okay, the relationship is average, mainly a cooperative relationship."
"Really? I thought you had a sister-in-law. When will you bring her to me to meet her?" Xu Qingsui joked.
"I do want to be together, but it's just not meant to be. It's really sad." Qin Fang said, and put on a pitiful look, which made Xu Qingsui laugh so hard.
"By the way, did you bring thick clothes? Let me tell you, it's very cold in the north, and the snow must be very heavy. You probably haven't been to the north, right?" Qin Fang asked.
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "I haven't been there. I brought a down jacket, so it shouldn't be cold."
"It's okay if it's cold. I'll take you to buy clothes later." Qin Fang looked a little lonely, muttering to himself, "I remember the first time I went to the north, it was also winter. It snowed heavily that day, the kind of heavy snow. My mother and I were both wearing thin clothes. We were freezing cold when we got off the car. My mother hugged me tightly in her arms, and there was a circle of bodyguards in black coats standing around. They seemed like robots without emotions and were cold. That scene has been so many years, and now when I think back to it, I feel sad."
The few warmth he had in his life was brought to him by his mother, and...
Qin Fang turned his head and looked at Xu Qingsui seriously. In his memory, she was like a little sun, shining brightly.
Xu Qingsui had experienced the feeling of losing a loved one, so she could empathize with Qin Fang's words.
But she didn't know how to comfort him.
All I can say is: "Fortunately, we all made it through. Now that we've grown up, we have the ability to protect ourselves and the people around us, right?"
Qin Fang felt relieved, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, looking at Xu Qingsui without moving his eyes: "Yes, I am very fortunate that I am grown up now and have the ability to protect the people around me."
Therefore, he would never allow anyone to hurt Xu Qingsui.
The two most important women in his life are his biological mother and Xu Qingsui. However, his mother is no longer with us. He has no chance to protect his mother anymore. But fortunately, Xu Qingsui is still alive and well. At this moment, she is right in front of him and he can see and touch her.
When we got off the plane, the sky was already getting dark. The moment we walked out of the airport, the north wind mixed with snowflakes swept in.
The exposed skin felt as painful as if it was cut by a sharp knife. Xu Qingsui subconsciously retracted her neck. At this moment, a scarf was hung around her neck, still warm.
She turned her head and saw Qin Fang helping her adjust her scarf: "It's cold, use mine first."
"What about you?" Xu Qingsui wanted to refuse, but Qin Fang was determined and she couldn't refuse.
"I'm a man, you know." Qin Fang said, and shook his head handsomely: "Let's go, Mr. Zhang is waiting for us."
As they were talking, they saw someone waving at them in the parking lot.
Xu Qingsui could see from afar that the man was Grandpa Zhang whom he had not seen for a long time.
When she got closer, she greeted him excitedly: "Hello, Grandpa Zhang."
Zhang Maocai was also very happy when he saw Xu Qingsui. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you have a promising future. Grandpa knew that you would definitely pass the exam."
"Get in the car quickly, it's cold outside." Zhang Maocai threw their things into the trunk, then opened the back door and let the two get in.
His car is a bit old, but fortunately it is an off-road vehicle, so the back seat space is relatively large.
"Second son of the Qin family, where should I take you? The Qin family's old house or the suburban villa?" After leaving the parking lot, Grandpa Zhang asked Qin Fang.
Qin Fang was silent for a while, then said, "Let's go to the suburban villa. Sorry to bother Grandpa Zhang."
The suburban villa was where he and his mother lived together and where his mother passed away. It has a special meaning to Qin Fang.
More importantly, he hated the Qin family's old house very much. It was a place like hell on earth. No one in it was normal. They were all mentally ill.
He wanted to cut off all ties with the Qin family. He hated the Qin family and everything about them, but the blood of the Qin family was flowing in his body. Unknowingly, he had slowly become a disgusting person, and was slowly assimilated into an abnormal person.
He wanted to escape, but he had to accept the reality, just like a person falling into a swamp. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. He could only close his eyes in pain and let himself sink bit by bit.
Xu Qingsui could feel Qin Fang's pain. Ever since Grandpa Zhang asked him where he was going, his entire aura became very gloomy, as if there was a black hole that sucked away all his energy, making him lifeless and withered.
She guessed that maybe it had something to do with his experience, and that this city contained pain that he was unwilling to face.
But she couldn't help him resolve these pains.
"Brother Qin, how long are you going to stay here?" Xu Qingsui asked.
Qin Fang slowly opened his eyes. When he heard her voice, the gloom in his body dissipated a lot. He replied, "I don't know. I should stay for a long time. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. The Qin family has a family gathering every year. There is nothing we can do."
Xu Qingsui nodded, and then asked Zhang Maocai who was driving in front: "Grandpa Zhang, how long are we going to stay here?"
"We have just started excavating this ancient tomb. As you know, archaeological work is a meticulous and tedious job. We probably won't be able to go back until the Chinese New Year holiday." Zhang Maocai continued, "But you are free. You are responsible for restoration work here. If you have anything to do, just ask for leave."
"Okay." Xu Qingsui turned around and said to Qin Fang, "Since we are all staying in the same city, we will take care of each other in the future. Brother Qin, if you need my help, just ask."
Qin Fang immediately laughed: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely not be polite to you. I am familiar with this place. When you are free, tell me and I will take you out for a walk. There are many museums and ancient buildings here. I am sure you will be interested."
"Okay." Xu Qingsui felt relieved when he saw that Qin Fang seemed to be in a better mood.
The two chatted about some places of interest and before they knew it, they arrived at their destination.
At this time, it was completely dark.
A villa stands halfway up the mountain, surrounded by towering trees. In the dark night, the outline of the villa looks a little eerie.
Qin Fang opened the door and got out of the car, picked up his things, said hello to Xu Qingsui and Zhang Maocai, and then walked into the gate of the villa.
The street lights flickered, his shadow was stretched very long in the wind and snow, and a silent loneliness spread.
