Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Wen Qianfang finished eating the cake...
After finishing the cake, Wen Qian put down his fork, narrowed his eyes, and leaned back as if his bones had been pulled out.
"I'm done!"
Xun Cang and Wen Qian stood shoulder to shoulder and announced, "I've finished eating too!"
"Really?" Jiang Zhi raised his eyelids and glanced at Xun Cang. "Pack your things."
Xun Cang, who was always grateful for the favor he received, pursed his lips, stood up reluctantly, picked up the plate on the table and walked towards the kitchen.
Loading the dishwasher took no time, but he always had a bad feeling—a feeling that something would change while he was gone.
Xun Cang quickened his movements, and when he returned to the living room, his premonition came true.
Wen Qian did not continue to sit in his original position, but leaned against the single sofa with a pillow in his arms. Jiang Zhi seemed to be looking for something on the sofa, and finally took out a black ring from the corner.
"It seems that it is not lost. It is indeed here." Jiang Zhi raised the corner of his lips, picked up the ring with his slender fingers, put it back on, and sat casually on the edge of the sofa - the position closest to Wen Qian.
Xun Cang now either sits opposite the two of them or next to Jiang Zhi.
No matter which one he chose, he would be at a distance from Wen Qian. It would be impossible to sit next to her like he did just now and share with her the interesting stories he had not yet finished.
"I'm glad you found it." Wen Qian blinked and said.
When she heard Jiang Zhi say that the ring was missing, she immediately became alert.
Lost something?
Good job!
Let me help you!
"Where did you lose it? Let me help you find it!" she said excitedly.
What a classic opening line to a lost property quest. This must have a quest.
Wen Qian was not wrong. As soon as she opened her mouth, a task prompt suddenly jumped in front of her.
[Easter Egg Mission——Lost (?) Ring
Your neighbor seems to have lost a ring... maybe
Requirement: Help the neighbor find the ring (Hint: Sofa)
Success Reward: Experience +200
Failure Reward: Experience Points +200]
The reward isn't much, but the mission itself is just a simple little one, and the mission description is incredibly concise.
Looking at the final reward, Wen Qian was stunned for a moment.
What do you mean? Doesn't it matter whether she looks for the lost property or not?
Wen Qian accepted the task in a daze. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Zhi about the appearance of the ring, he heard his words before he opened his mouth.
"Maybe it fell on the sofa." He looked down at her, "I didn't find it here, did you see it there?"
Wen Qian stood up, lowered his head and carefully searched the sofa, even checking the cracks in the sofa, but still couldn't find the ring.
"Did it really fall here?"
"It should be here." Jiang Zhi nodded slightly and said sideways, "You sit down first, I'll find it."
Wen Qian looked at Jiang Zhi who was standing beside the sofa, blocking her way. She was too lazy to go around him, so she simply sat on the single sofa beside her.
Jiang Zhi withdrew his gaze, glanced casually at the sofa, and reached out to pick up a ring from the corner.
Wen Qian frowned in confusion. Did she just ignore that place?
Xun Cang was also confused. How come he remembered that the ring was still in Jiang Zhi's hand before he left? Did he remember it wrong?
I don’t think so. His memory doesn’t seem to be that bad?
Xun Cang sat opposite Wen Qian, and he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with sitting here.
Sitting opposite, he could see Wen Qian as soon as he looked up. Although the distance was a little far, this was enough to make up for this little regret.
"Wen Qian." He pressed the pillow, his voice sounding a little dull, "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Will you miss me when I'm gone?"
Wen Qian looked at Xun Cang who was staring at her motionlessly. His emotions were always obvious. The slightly drooping corners of his eyes combined with his expression at the moment made it seem as if the word "sadness" was written on his face.
She suddenly had the illusion that she saw a heartbreak icon above his head.
If the game had a character emotion system, this scene might really happen.
The guess in his mind was so interesting that Wen Qian couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xun Cang was immersed in the sadness of leaving soon and not being able to meet up and could only chat on the phone - eight out of ten times he couldn't contact the person and one time he would be blocked. His expression paused.
He suddenly looked up and looked at Wen Qian in disbelief.
He couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment, and held it back the next second. However, when he saw Xun Cang suddenly raise his head, Wen Qian couldn't hold back his laughter again and turned his head silently.
"No, I'm not laughing at you."
"I haven't asked yet!"
Xun Cang was about to break down and he was about to leave, but the person he liked smiled after hearing what he said.
Smiling happily.
Even laughed twice.
Seeing Xun Cang's dejected expression, Wen Qian put down the pillow and walked quickly to his side: "Okay, okay, I really didn't laugh at you."
She touched his soft hair, hmm, it felt pretty good.
"I will definitely miss you." Wen Qian said without hesitation.
"But I'm really not sad." She looked down at Xun Cang, who pursed his lips because of what he said, and continued, "We will meet again, why should I be sad?"
"You said you would come to see me again, didn't you?"
Wen Qian stroked his hair comfortingly.
It’s hard to say whether it’s really for comfort or because it feels good.
A lot of random touching.
Xun Cang's mood quickly brightened after hearing Wen Qian's two words.
Yes, it’s not like they can’t see each other anymore, but——
"But I still can't bear to leave you." Xun Cang didn't think this was a contradiction.
"Even though you are so reluctant to let me go, please take me home!" Wen Qian patted Xun Cang's shoulder.
It was indeed getting late, and Xun Cang realized this and felt a little uncomfortable.
Hearing Wen Qian's words, his eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll take you there!"
Jiang Zhi looked at the two people who were talking, and suppressed the emotions surging in his heart bit by bit. When Wen Qian looked over at him, his brows were lowered and he managed to regain his composure.
"Shall we go?" He stood up, the light shining on him, casting a gray-black shadow.
It's only two steps from his house to Wen Qian's house. Even if he walks slowly, it won't take long.
Looking at the closed door, Xun Cang's smile faded a little and he walked back in a bad mood.
Jiang Zhi fell behind him. Xun Cang, who walked in first, leaned against the wall beside the sofa and looked at Jiang Zhi with raised eyebrows.
"What's wrong with you today?"
"Bad mood?"
Jiang Zhi didn't say anything. He walked slowly to the sofa, casually picked up the pillow that Wen Qian had just placed aside and was a little tilted, and straightened it out.
Xun Cang's gaze moved little by little with his movements, and he blinked very lightly. When he first saw Jiang Zhi, his emotions were not like this.
When did it start to change? Xun Cang pondered, and when his eyes fell on the kitchen, he paused for a second.
When washing vegetables?
When he was cooking?
still……
Jiang Zhi turned sideways, looked at Xun Cang, and said word by word: "Do you like Wen Qian?"
Xun Cang looked at Jiang Zhi, as if he had vaguely grasped some clues.
He focused his attention on Jiang Zhi's question, to which he could give an affirmative answer without hesitation.
"Yes, I like her." Xun Cang looked at the person in front of him and gave him a steady look. "Jiang Zhi, you seem to care about this matter a lot?"
Is it because Wen Qian is his neighbor? But would Jiang Zhi care about this?
"How could I not care?" Jiang Zhi raised his eyes and spoke slowly, "Xun Cang, Wen Qian is the person I like."
Xun Cang was stunned and his expression changed slightly.
