This club is naturally not as comfortable as home. I urged Qiu Qiu to go home and rest, but Qiu Qiu kept shaking his head at me.
"No, I won't go back." Qiu Qiu glanced at Mingyuan, a reassuring smile on his face. "Wherever Mingyuan is, I'll be there. He's my boyfriend, so of course I have to stay with him."
Seeing how sweet she is, I really want to move the Civil Affairs Bureau here and let her and Mingyuan get married immediately.
Qiu Qiu smiled and acted coquettishly: "Just let me stay. You are here alone, and the two of them are too busy to accompany you. I am just here to entertain you, so that you don't have to think about random things in the long night."
I was also at a loss for words about Qiu Qiu's reasons.
She didn't want to leave, and I had no way to force her out, so I had to agree to let her stay.
The screening of Mingyuan and Lu Zhiyuan requires a quiet environment. In order not to disturb them, Qiu Qiu and I walked out of the club and took a walk in the small garden outside to get some fresh air.
Qiu Qiu first asked me about some new clues about Che Xiaofeng. As we walked, she suddenly said cautiously, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Lu Zhiyuan in a long time. The last time I saw him was at the resort for Aunt Ming's birthday."
"Yeah." I responded lightly, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"I was a little surprised when I first met Lu Zhiyuan. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to the last time we met. He's quite tall and big, and the clothes felt baggy on him."
I remained silent. Ever since Mingsi's birthday party, Lu Zhiyuan had experienced his mother's imprisonment and surrendering herself, and then being framed by Jin Shu. Under these successive blows, he had naturally lost a lot of weight.
Qiu Qiu sighed and said, "He can't get any thinner now. If he gets any thinner, he'll be just skin and bones. Maybe one day the wind will blow and he'll collapse."
Although this analogy is a bit exaggerated, even Qiu Qiu can see that Lu Zhiyuan is not in good condition, and I can't help but feel distressed.
I sighed, my tone slightly helpless, and blurted out subconsciously: "You saw it just now. He usually eats so carelessly and doesn't take good care of himself at all."
I didn't even realize there was a hint of blame in my tone.
That is the reproach of worry.
But Qiu Qiu caught it.
"Tell me the truth, you are still thinking about him, right?" Qiu Qiu bumped into me, expecting me to tell him what was in my heart.
My throat choked and I didn't say anything.
I don't know how to respond to this question.
Although there were many misunderstandings in the past, and they have now been resolved, there still seems to be a gap between me and Lu Zhiyuan, and I cannot cross this step.
My silence allowed Qiu Qiu to see through my thoughts.
Qiu Qiu stopped, looked at me seriously, and suddenly asked, "Shanshan, are you planning to live alone for the rest of your life?"
The question caught me off guard and I froze.
I've never thought about this problem.
I smiled guiltily and was about to make a joke to get by, but when I looked up, I met Qiu Qiu's serious expression.
I swallowed the perfunctory words I hadn't said yet.
Qiu Qiu didn't joke around like usual. Instead, he said to me seriously, "Xiao Shan, why do you always have to deliberately disguise your feelings? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you've always loved Lu Zhiyuan. Why don't you just admit it?"
I smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-mockery in my eyes. Is my love for him so obvious?
