Chapter 641 She Died Just Like That
Shen Anning lay on his back, her arms wrapped around his neck, her face pressed against his.
"Qi Yue, your back is so broad, it feels so comfortable!"
When she woke up from her nap, her voice had a slight nasal tone, as soft and sweet as a kitten's.
Qi Yue's thin lips curved slightly, his eyes full of gentle smile.
The man held her buttocks with his large hand and gently bounced her up and down to make her more comfortable.
"If you like, I'll carry you home like this from now on."
"That'll have to wait until I graduate from university and go back to Beicheng." Shen Anning nuzzled his face, then suddenly took a deep breath and sighed, "That's a long time."
Qi Yue glanced at her sideways. "What?"
“Four years of university,” Shen Anning muttered. “At first, I didn’t think four years would be hard to get through, but lately it’s strange. Every time you come to see me, I feel like time is passing so fast, but as soon as you leave, I feel like time is passing so slowly.”
Qi Yue paused.
As the night grew dim, he turned to look at the young girl and asked, "Can I take this as a confession to me?"
"Confessing doesn't count," Shen Anning pouted. "It's just to coax you!"
Qi Yue was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly, "Why would you want to coax me?"
“You always feel that I’m not clingy enough to you.” Shen Anning bit her lip. “But it’s not that I’m not clingy. I just want to achieve my goals as soon as possible and become an excellent person so that I can walk alongside you. I don’t want people to only describe me as ‘President Qi’s girlfriend is so beautiful’ when you take me out in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
The little girl had doubted her intelligence and her abilities, but she never doubted her appearance.
This persona of being a sucker for good looks has remained unchanged since childhood.
They are so incredibly cute.
"Qi Yue, it's snowing."
Qi Yue paused, then looked up.
Snowflakes fell from the sky.
Shen Anning reached out her hand.
Snowflakes landed in her palm and quickly spread out.
She exclaimed with delight, "Qi Yue, put me down!"
Qi Yue hesitated, "You've just recovered from a cold, you can't catch another chill."
"No way! This is the first snow I've seen since coming to the capital!" Shen Anning's voice was full of excitement. "And you even came with me to see it, Qi Yue, don't you think that's romantic?"
After hearing what the girl said, Qi Yue thought to himself, "It really is very romantic."
He couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he compromised.
As soon as Shen Anning landed, she opened her arms to catch the snowflakes.
It snowed in the north of the city too, but Shen Anning had seen it all since she was a child and was already tired of it.
Qi Yue accompanied her to see the first snow in the capital, which meant something completely different to her!
She was so excited that she tiptoed and danced a love waltz in the snow.
Qi Yue stood with one hand in his pocket, his long, deep eyes reflecting the girl's playful and beautiful figure.
Such a night is romantic and beautiful.
As Shen Anning jumped, she landed in the man's broad and warm embrace.
Qi Yue lifted her chin with his long, slender fingers and lowered his head to kiss her.
Snowflakes fell on their heads and shoulders.
They kissed passionately in the wind and snow, as if they were the only people in the world.
That year, Shen Anning was 19 years old and Qi Yue was 22 years old. They were both very young and thought they had plenty of time to love each other for the rest of their lives.
...
On Monday, Shen Anning went to class, and Qi Yue returned to Beicheng.
The first class was English, but Shen Anning didn't see You Jingqiao.
English is a weak point for You Jingqiao, and she almost never misses class.
She called You Jingqiao.
You Jingqiao said on the phone that she was going out to take care of some things and asked her to have lunch together.
Shen Anning noticed that You Jingqiao's voice sounded a bit off, but she didn't press the matter, thinking it would be clearer to ask her face-to-face during lunch.
...
At noon, Shen Anning and You Jingqiao met in the cafeteria.
After the two ordered their food, when it came time to pay, You Jingqiao insisted on paying the bill.
Shen Anning glanced at her. "You're acting strange today. We usually pay for our own things, so why are you insisting on paying for me today?"
"Please." As You Jingqiao spoke, she quickly paid the money.
Shen Anning pursed her lips.
You Jingqiao turned and walked towards the corner.
Shen Anning followed silently.
The two sat down in a corner, facing each other.
Shen Anning put down her plate and looked at You Jingqiao. "Qiaoqiao, you're acting a little strange today. Is there something you want to tell me?"
You Jingqiao kept her head down as she ate, saying, "Let's eat first."
Shen Anning: "..."
She was now quite certain that You Jingqiao was involved in something.
Shen Anning picked up some food and ate it bite by bite, but because she was worried about You Jingqiao, she couldn't taste it.
You Jingqiao ate quietly, but her calm demeanor made Shen Anning feel uneasy.
Finally, the meal was finished.
Shen Anning took a couple of sips of soup to calm herself down, then looked up at You Jingqiao, who was wiping her mouth. "Qiaoqiao, can you talk now?"
You Jingqiao paused in wiping her mouth.
Shen Anning also took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then rested her chin on her hand and looked at her, "You're really scary, you know? I felt really uncomfortable eating this meal, and I'm afraid I'll get indigestion."
"I just don't quite know how to tell you this." You Jingqiao put down her napkin, looked at Shen Anning, and said with a serious expression.
Shen Anning's heart jumped instantly, and she suppressed her smile. "What happened?"
"Actually, it should be considered a good thing." You Jingqiao looked into Shen Anning's eyes and smiled slightly. "I'm going abroad."
Shen Anning was stunned.
After a long pause, she blinked and asked, "Which country are you going to? To work or to continue your studies?"
"In Australia, I published a paper online, and unexpectedly, a school there saw it and sent me an invitation letter, saying that as long as I was willing to go, they would give me a generous scholarship, enough to cover my living expenses during my studies."
"Really?" Shen Anning was overjoyed. "That's great! It's wonderful that you can study abroad, and it also solves the problem of living expenses."
“Yes!” You Jingqiao looked at Shen Anning, “But, this means we’ll have to part ways…”
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning's smile instantly faded.
Yes, that means she and You Jingqiao will have to separate.
However, this was an excellent opportunity, and Shen Anning could not prevent You Jingqiao from going abroad just because she was reluctant to part with her.
As her best friend, Shen Anning wanted You Jingqiao to become a better person more than anyone else.
This is such a great opportunity, it's a rare chance, You Jingqiao should go!
"Qiaoqiao, it's only four years, no, there are only three years left now. Anyway, you'll come back after you graduate, right? It's okay, we can video call each other often."
You Jingqiao's hands, which were resting on her thighs, clenched slightly. She forced herself not to reveal that Qi Yue had threatened her.
Actually, she really didn't want to go abroad at all.
Back home, even if she lived an ordinary life, even if she was ridiculed as a burden, she would be happy as long as she could stay by Shen Anning's side.
However, Qi Yue would not let her stay.
She currently lacks the ability to confront Qi Yue, and fears that Qi Yue might actually expose her feelings for Shen Anning.
She feared that once Shen Anning learned the truth, she would distance herself from her, or even despise her.
You Jingqiao left the country on the third day.
Shen Anning personally went to the airport to see her off.
Before leaving, You Jingqiao looked at Shen Anning and asked, "May I hug you?"
Shen Anning stepped forward and hugged You Jingqiao tightly. "Qiaoqiao, you must take good care of yourself abroad! Remember to keep in touch with me."
"good."
You Jingqiao nodded and turned to walk into the security checkpoint.
Shen Anning had no idea that this would be their last meeting.
The flight bound for Australia encountered severe weather that day and crashed en route, killing all crew members and passengers.
Shen Anning learned the news during a training camp.
Upon seeing the news, she felt as if the world had suddenly become quiet.
The next instant, the world spun around her, and darkness enveloped her.
"Junior Sister Shen!"
Xie Xu was the first to rush forward and catch the unconscious Shen Anning in time.
After being taken to the infirmary, Shen Anning quickly regained consciousness.
The first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone.
The news has already broken.
It's true.
You Jingqiao was on the death list.
Shen Anning's face turned deathly pale as she stared at her phone, tears streaming down her face.
She simply couldn't believe that Qiaoqiao, who had hugged and said goodbye to her that morning and promised to call her when she arrived safely, was dead.
She died, without warning.
Her precious Qiaoqiao is gone just like that!
