Chapter 82 I understand
to be honest.
When the roses fell, Lin Qingxu felt a little dead.
Whose good man controlled the position so precisely? The petals fell within a radius of no more than four square meters. It was like a stage play where a single-man light chase was deliberately created, at least the area was larger to make it less obtrusive.
In public, everyone's eyes were focused on her, especially when a child asked his mother why the older sister had rose petals but we didn't.
All those curious, inquiring, and envious gazes fell on her. She felt like she was being watched like a monkey, and Lin Qingxu really wanted to hold her forehead to cover her face.
So embarrassing that it makes you tap your toes.

If the fireworks were just a coincidence, then the targeted rain of petals made Qu Wen understand.
Probably, the male lead tonight was originally someone else, but he had no idea why that person didn't come.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Qingxu prepared to say goodbye to Qu Wen.
Qu Wen's phone rang at this moment. It was his parents calling. Seeing that Qu Wen had been out for so long and had not returned yet, the dishes were almost served.
Qu Wen replied that he met Lin Qingxu on the way.
When she heard that Lin Qingxu was there, Qu's mother asked Qu Wen to hand over the phone quickly. She spoke to her in a friendly tone, inviting Lin Qingxu to have dinner with her and asked the restaurant to add a few more dishes.
Lin Qingxu wanted to decline, but Qu's parents were so kind and so kind that she couldn't refuse. Since he was her teacher, she finally agreed.
*
The Qu family has always adhered to the principle of not talking while eating or sleeping before meals, but this time with Lin Qingxu around, Qu's mother no longer cared about those rules for fear that she would feel restrained.
He used serving chopsticks to pick up some signature dishes for Lin Qingxu, and talked about Lin Qingxu's life at school, asking her if she was still adapting.
Qu's father also joined the conversation, chatting with Lin Qingxu about academic matters. Lin Qingxu answered each question, briefly expressing her own opinions without going into too much detail. After all, her limited knowledge was not enough in front of the two elders.
Qu's father nodded in agreement. Occasionally, he would turn to his son, who had been neglected for a long time, and ask him how his preparations for going abroad were going.
Qu Wen didn't expect his parents to have time to care about him. He put down his spoon and replied, "The procedures and portfolio are almost ready, and the offer from the college in London has also come in."
Qu's father nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Lin Qingxu. "What about Qingxu? What are your plans for the future?" He had just heard Lin Qingxu speak and felt that she was a very thoughtful young woman. "If you are interested in pursuing further studies in the art field, I would be happy to write a letter of recommendation for you. Young people should explore more outside the world."
Lin Qingxu was about to speak.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated, and the ringtone that belonged to Kan Zhao rang out. Lin Qingxu looked down and saw the name flashing on the screen. Her fingertips paused slightly, and she unnoticeably set it to silent.
Looking at the Qu family and Qu Wen's gaze, he explained, "It must be a scam call."
She responded to Qu's father's previous words with a proper smile on her lips.
"Thank you, Uncle Qu. I will seriously consider this opportunity."
After hearing this, Professor Qu nodded with satisfaction and mentioned other things. Lin Qingxu continued what he said.
but……
In fact, what she just said was just an excuse.
Lin Qingxu always felt that her appearance was too deceptive, especially to the elders.
Just like Wang Hong back then, until now, I still think she is hardworking and studious, but it was this damn Kan Zhao who made her change her major. No matter how careful you are, you can't guard against a thief in your own home!
It is said that Nanhua High School has changed its school rules. All college entrance examination applications must be filled out at the school, and the application will be finalized only after being checked by teachers one by one. This is for fear that some unclear-minded students with love brains will do something that they will regret for the rest of their lives.
However, Lin Qingxu knew her true nature: she was just a lazy person who loved to lie down.
It's not like the ordinary salted fish who completely give up. It's just that they give up as much as possible under the premise of doing their job perfectly.
But Mr. Qu was thinking about her, and he was also her elder, so Lin Qingxu did not refuse directly.
The meal came to an end in a warm atmosphere.
Mr. Qu had a pleasant chat. Mrs. Qu looked at the dark night outside the window and gently touched her husband's arm.
She then smiled at Qu Wen and said, "You send Qingxu back. Your father and I will go for a walk by the river. It's a rare day with such a beautiful moonlight."
Father Qu understood and picked up his coat. Before leaving, he reminded Lin Qingxu: "You can come to me anytime when you have made up your mind."
Then I went to the front desk to pay the bill.
Lin Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the two elders disappear into the doorway. Qu Wen took her coat from the waiter and said with a smile, "My parents haven't been this happy in a long time."
"They like you very much."
Lin Qingxu thanked him.
The two walked towards the elevator side by side.
Qu Wen pressed the button for the basement floor and slightly turned sideways, unnoticeably avoiding the possible congestion caused by the pedestrians next to him.
The underground parking lot was filled with a faint smell of gasoline and damp cement.
Qu Wen's black car was parked not far away. He took two quick steps to open the passenger door for her, his hand carefully placed above the door frame.
"Thanks."
Qu Wen smiled gently: "No need to be so polite."
Lin Qingxu had just fastened her seatbelt when her phone vibrated again. Kan Zhao's name flashed continuously on the screen before the system forcibly disconnected her. A series of red missed call notifications immediately appeared on her phone's homepage.
The reflection of the car window showed Lin Qingxu's slightly lowered profile, and she turned off the screen.
After a few seconds, the phone screen lit up again and flashed continuously.
Red light, stop.
Qu Wen tilted his head and asked softly, "Did you have a conflict with him?"
Lin Qingxu twitched the corners of his mouth, but ultimately failed to turn it into a full smile. He simply gave up.
She shook her head: "I don't know."
*
The car slowly stopped at the gate of the community, but the security guard refused to let it in. This community has good security and non-owner vehicles are not allowed to enter.
Qu Wen parked the car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road and offered to take Lin Qingxu home. His reason was very good. If he didn't do it, he would probably be scolded by his parents.
The two walked side by side on the moonlit tree-lined path. The night wind, carrying the fragrance of unknown flowers, blew towards them, making the leaves of the sycamore trees rustle.
Lin Qingxu looked at the two people's shadows on the ground stretched by the street lights, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, on nights like this, she and Kan Zhao had walked countless steps home from school.
Just like that, I arrived at the door of the apartment building without realizing it.
Lin Qingxu said goodbye to Qu Wen and turned to walk into the building.
The lights downstairs were always on, casting a bright halo of light on the ground outside through the glass door. Just as Lin Qingxu pushed the door open, Qu Wen's voice rang out from behind him:
"Qing Xu."
Lin Qingxu turned around with a little confusion.
"I know it might be a little sudden to say this now," Qu Wen said, his eyes, which usually wore a faint smile, full of sincerity. "But I'm leaving Nanchuan in a few days."
"If I don't say something now, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to say it again. I don't want to have any lasting regrets about it. I also don't want this feeling to remain unspoken forever."
Lin Qingxu's heart suddenly trembled. As if she had a premonition of what he was about to say, she subconsciously took a half step back.
This subtle action caused a bitter curve to appear at the corners of Qu Wen's lips.
"I understand." His voice melted into the night, still gentle. He stared at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled, a smile that was a little sad, but also a little relieved.
The next second, Qu Wen suddenly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.
The hug was restrained and brief.
"Consider it a farewell gift," he whispered in her ear, then released her hand.
Lin Qingxu was a little confused. At this moment, in this situation, she probably should say something.
But the moment she raised her eyes, the feeling of being watched suddenly swept over her.
He looked towards the distance as if sensing something.
Lin Qingxu's breathing suddenly stopped——
Not far away, under a tree, Kan Zhao stood at the intersection of light and shadow. Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and his eyes were filled with emotions as he stared at the place where Qu Wen had just touched Lin Qingxu.

The author has something to say: Are you a male ghost? Kan Zhao
It turns out that the prediction is so inaccurate. It takes two chapters to get to the next chapter.
I feel the rhythm is a bit slow, maybe I will change it a bit later [cat claw]
