Chapter 116 Why can't you let someone keep a white moonlight in their heart?
For a fleeting moment, Qin Shuzhi felt her blood freeze, and her mind went blank for several seconds.
Although the people inside were communicating in English, she was certain she hadn't misheard.
Josh was away on a long journey.
That person said that Shi Yuanxing... had a goddess he admired.
She had come to ask Anqi if she had a camera charging cable, but she didn't expect to hear this.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What goddess?" Angie's voice came from behind.
“I’m not making this up,” the colleague said. “There was one time… Josh and Sam were drinking in a private room, and I overheard them talking when I went in to deliver some drinks.”
"They thought I couldn't understand Chinese, but actually I've passed the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4)."
Angie, "So what did you hear them say?"
"From their conversation, it seems that... this hotel was opened by Josh because of a girl he liked, oh, and that rooftop... Josh's private life is also connected to his sweetheart."
Angie exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
“I also heard Sam ask Josh if his family wanted him to get married after he returned to China, would he compromise, and if he compromised and got married, would he still have a place in his heart for his goddess?”
Angie asked, "So what did Josh say?"
Qin Shuzhi, standing outside the door, suddenly clenched her hands and waited anxiously for a reply from inside.
"I don't know," the colleague said, shrugging. "I came out later and didn't hear Josh's answer."
Angie: "But I think Josh and his wife are quite loving, and he probably likes his wife."
“Loving his wife doesn’t stop him from having a lover in his heart,” my colleague said. “Don’t you Chinese people call that kind of person…the one you love most in your heart but can’t marry… ‘Guangliang’ (meaning ‘bright’)?”
Angie: "That's called 'white moonlight'."
The words "white moonlight" struck Qin Shuzhi's heart hard, causing her to sway involuntarily. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, making her so painful that she dared not breathe or think about it further.
These three words reminded her of Shen Yichen and Zhou Siyan.
If the "white moonlight" doesn't appear, all is well; but once it does, it can utterly destroy the current partner.
Qin Shuzhi gripped the camera tightly with her fingers, her knuckles turning slightly white.
At that moment, she was at a loss.
Although she was angry and saddened by Shen Yichen and Zhou Siyan, she could still make a clear and firm decision. But when it came to Mr. Shi...
Her heart was in turmoil.
She was so terrified that she didn't even have the courage to continue thinking about it.
"Zhizhi?"
A familiar voice came from behind, and Qin Shuzhi's pupils trembled. Three seconds later, she stiffly turned around.
What are you doing here?
Shi Yuan walked forward and asked.
The two people who were talking inside the door suddenly fell silent.
Qin Shuzhi looked at the man in front of her, whose gaze was still gentle, and for a moment her throat tightened, unable to speak.
To be precise, her mind was a mess, and she didn't know what to say.
Shi Yuanxing looked at her pale face, his eyes narrowing. "What's wrong?"
He took her hand, only to find it was ice-cold. Shi Yuanxing immediately looked worried. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"……No."
Qin Shuzhi lowered her eyes, her voice weak, "I'm just a little tired."
Shi Yuanxing said, "Then let's not go sightseeing anymore, let's go back to our rooms and rest."
Qin Shuzhi seemed to have lost her soul, and somehow Shi Yuanxing took her back to her room.
Upon entering the house, Shi Yuanxing led Qin Shuzhi directly to the bedroom. Seeing that Qin Shuzhi remained silent the entire way, completely lacking her previous liveliness, he couldn't help but worry.
"Where does it hurt? I'll call the doctor to take a look."
Qin Shuzhi suddenly came to her senses and shook her head, "No need to call a doctor, I'm fine."
Looking at her face, Shi Yuanxing was still worried. "Does your head hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Are you dizzy?
"I'm not dizzy."
Feeling weak?
Feeling as if all the strength had been drained from her body, Qin Shuzhi paused for three seconds, then nodded silently.
"That's probably because you were tired from the flight today," Shi Yuanxing said, gently touching her face with concern.
Qin Shuzhi felt sad, but she did not flinch, letting that warm and familiar large hand touch her.
"Go to bed and rest for a bit." Shi Yuanxing pulled her towards the large bed. "If you're still not feeling well, I'll have the doctor come and check you out."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi suddenly recalled what the employee from the submarine forum had said—
She said that the rooftop was related to the white moonlight in his heart.
That bed he had never slept in...
Qin Shuzhi subconsciously pulled her hand away from the man's.
Startled by her sudden movement, Shi Yuanxing turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"
Qin Shuzhi took two steps back in a panic, "We...we're really staying here tonight?"
"yes."
Shi Yuanxing said, "Didn't you say you really liked this room?"
Qin Shuzhi was speechless.
She used to like it a lot.
But if this place was prepared for another woman, then she wouldn't like it.
Looking at the woman behaving strangely, Shi Yuanxing narrowed his eyes slightly and tentatively asked, "Wife, did something happen when I left just now?"
Why does it seem like her whole demeanor changed after he left for a short while?
Qin Shuzhi's heart tightened suddenly, but she forced a normal smile on her face, "...No."
She didn't even have the courage to ask him.
Because she was afraid of hearing things she didn't want to hear.
She pretended not to know about it.
"Really not?"
"No, I'm just... a little tired."
Seeing that she didn't look well, Shi Yuanxing didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and handed her the pajamas that were placed by the bed, saying softly, "Then change your clothes and rest for a while."
"Um."
As if she had finally found a chance to escape, Qin Shuzhi took the clothes, turned around, and quickly fled into the bathroom.
Once inside the bathroom, her expression, which she no longer concealed, was somewhat dazed. Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know what she was supposed to do. She just grabbed her pajamas and wandered around the bathroom a few times before finally sitting down on the toilet seat.
Qin Shuzhi, what exactly are you upset about, and what are you fussing about?
You and that person never got married because of love.
You can't expect someone to like you back just because you like them.
Mr. Shi is very responsible for treating you like his wife and taking good care of you.
Why can't people keep a white moonlight in their hearts?
Qin Shuzhi kept trying to find legitimate and reasonable reasons for Shi Yuanxing in her mind, convincing herself not to mind it.
However--
She understands the reasoning, but her emotions are completely beyond her rational control.
Whenever she thought about the woman Shi Yuanxing deeply loved, her heart felt as if it were being squeezed by something heavy, with an indescribable feeling of suffocation and dull pain.
She sat there silently, clutching her pajamas, her eyes gradually reddening.
