Qiu Hu followed his instincts and came to this forest. The trees there were becoming increasingly lush, and because the trees were sparse, they did not block out all the sunlight and the road.
The further you go, the denser the forest becomes, the narrower the path grows, and the noise of the island's inhabitants gradually fades away, replaced by the rustling of leaves in the wind and the calls of birds.
The further she went, the more birds chirped, and she couldn't tell if they were welcoming her or scolding her for disturbing them.
Suddenly, a loud bird call rang out above her head. She could even hear the bird flapping its wings. She was startled and didn't notice the tree roots under her feet. She tripped and fell, but managed to grab onto the tree trunk to avoid falling.
"..." Qiu Hu felt a little embarrassed, as it was the first time in his life he had been frightened by a bird.
She recalled that when she first came here, the trees were not so lush, and there were birds chirping, but not as many or as loud.
After that, she would send people to inspect the area every year, and now, what she felt was indeed similar to what she knew.
She stood still, about to walk forward, when the phone rang. It was the lobby manager. She picked up the phone and answered, "Miss, the helicopter is ready and waiting for you."
"Okay," she said, turning to leave, her gaze fixed on the seemingly endless road ahead.
After she left, the birdsong in the woods gradually ceased.
After she went outside, the lobby manager was already waiting for her. He greeted her as usual.
Qiu Hu looked at him, perhaps he could ask him, "Has nothing really happened on Lake Creek Island recently? Are there any suspicious people?"
"No, nothing happened," the lobby manager thought for a moment, "everything is normal!"
"Is there really no suspicious person or unusual thing?"
The lobby manager went from one major incident to another, and from one minor incident to another, telling Qiu Hu about every little problem he could think of. “A few birds flew over to the hotel from the woods a while ago, but I had them chased back by someone. Or I can go back and ask someone else and then report back to you.”
Birds again! What's wrong with the birds lately?
"Okay, I understand. Report anything suspicious on the island to A-Qian." After giving the instructions, Qiu Hu boarded the helicopter back to Qin City.
After Qiu Hu left, the lobby manager sent someone to inform everyone on the island that if there were any suspicious or unusual people or events recently, they should report them to me.
When Qiu Hu returned to Guyue Garden, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. She opened the door and Ning Yizhan was working on his computer. As soon as he heard the sound, he turned around and saw that Qiu Hu had returned.
He glanced at her, then turned back to continue working—a rare occurrence!
Qiu Hu knew what was going on without even thinking. He changed his shoes, walked over and sat down next to him, resting his chin on his shoulder. "Why are you still working so late? Aren't you going to rest?"
Ning Yizhan always wanted to get angry, but every time the woman in front of him spoke, he couldn't get angry anymore. "I can't rest. I'm waiting for someone to come back."
"Oh, wait for me to come back!" She reached out and hugged the man beside her again. Seeing that he was still unmoved, she took the computer from his hands, rested her head on his lap, and tugged at his clothes. "Aren't you going to catch up with me?"
Recently, maintaining their relationship has become something they must do every night.
"Sure, you want to chat? What do you want to talk about?" The man leaned back on the sofa and looked down at her.
Seeing that he was still like this, she reached out and poked his abs. "Are you angry with me because you're being so cold today?"
"No, you're overthinking it." The man pulled her hand away, trying to calm her down and stop her from touching him.
"You still say you're not angry? Who are you kidding? You won't even let me touch you." Qiu Hu got off his lap, knelt down in front of him, and looked at him with resentment in her eyes.
As a result, Ning Yizhan looked at her with an even more resentful gaze, "Don't always just fan the flames without putting them out."
The two recalled the past few days, how every time Ning Yizhan gave a signal, Qiu Hu would come up and cuddle with him, but it always ended with Ning Yizhan being pushed out of the room.
He's in pain!
He worked overtime at the company until very late yesterday before coming back. By then, Qiu Hu had already gone back to his room, so he went straight back to his room as well.
He didn't know when she would be back today, so he left work early and went home to wait for her. But as soon as she got back, she started stirring things up and clearly had no intention of helping him put things out.
"..."
Qiu Hu wanted to say that it wasn't that she wouldn't let him touch her, it's just that he never let her go, and she was in a difficult position, okay?
"Why are you always so cruel? You know perfectly well that I'm afraid of pain."
"Where did I go wrong? I was just following the normal procedures and performing the normal actions."
Qiu Hu didn't want to talk anymore, so he got up from the sofa and said, "Let's stop talking, let's rest, goodnight."
"..." Look, he's alone in his empty room again.
The next morning, Qiu Hu got up early and saw Ning Yizhan making breakfast for her. She went in, hugged him, snuggled into his arms, glanced at the food in the pot, and said, "Good morning, this breakfast looks delicious."
"morning".
Neither of them spoke until the stove was turned off. Qiu Hu thought to himself, "This man is too hard to coax."
Qiu Hu had been spoiled by him. Seeing that he didn't take the initiative to talk to her, she felt very uncomfortable and could only continue to coax him. She cupped his face, looked up and said, "Come pick me up after get off work to go to Zhao Shi's birthday party, or I'll ask someone else to pick me up, that Zhao Shi's brother!"
Sure enough, Ning Yizhan's emotions changed drastically, his eyes blazing with anger. "What? Who do you want to pick you up? Ha, I guess you don't want to go out today, Qiu Hu!"
"Zhao Shi's brother!" Of course, this was just someone Qiu Hu mentioned casually, but Ning Yizhan didn't think so.
He grabbed Qiu Hu's hand and forced her to the back of the refrigerator door. Afraid that she might hurt her bones, he even used his hand to cushion her back.
Although Qiu Hu had one hand restrained by him, she reached out and wrapped her other arm around his neck. With a forceful pull, her neck was forced to lower, and the woman took the opportunity to whisper softly in his ear, "Remember to pick me up tonight, and dress smartly."
Ning Yizhan was successfully appeased and haughtily gave an "Mmm" in agreement.
Qiu Hu: You're not that hard to coax!
Perhaps, Qiu Hu will change his mind after tonight.
Qiu Hu spent some time during the day, intending to pick out a dress, but Ning Yizhan told her to leave work early in the afternoon because he had already chosen his clothes.
That evening, Qiu Hu appeared at Zhao Shi's birthday party wearing a matching suit with Ning Yizhan.
This man even uses a little trick when choosing clothes.
When Zhao Shi saw her come in, he pulled his brother over and said, "Sister, you're finally here. Oh, no need to introduce this lady, right? My brother said you two know each other."
