"Are you still planning to leave this time?" Yi Ling asked her on the way back to the store.
"I don't know. Let's wait a few days. Anyway, he has to finish dealing with things over there even if he comes back this time." Qu Lingyuan replied.
She has no idea now, so she just waits and sees what happens.
Because they had to send Ye Yunfeng off, the store opened much later today. There were already people waiting outside. Qu Lingyuan entered the store and started to get busy.
An Chen came as usual, and in order to talk to Qu Lingyuan alone, he deliberately stood last.
"Why are you late today? Aren't you always on time?"
"I went to see Ye Yunfeng off this morning." Qu Lingyuan answered truthfully.
"Tsk, he finally left." An Chen smacked his lips, looking disgusted.
Qu Lingyuan thought for a moment and said to him meaningfully, "I've been here long enough."
"What do you mean?" An Chen didn't quite understand.
"What I mean is that I may be leaving soon." Qu Lingyuan explained it a little more clearly.
"Leave? Why leave?" An Chen was a little excited. He really liked Qu Lingyuan, but this girl always kept a distance from everyone, which made him have no idea where to start.
At present, he still has the best relationship with Qu Lingyuan among all the regulars.
"He will come back to find me." Qu Lingyuan sighed.
From what happened last night, she could tell that Ye Yunfeng would never let it go.
An Chen frowned: "Then come with me, I will take you somewhere else, and stay with me, isn't that good?"
Qu Lingyuan refused bluntly: "You know I don't like you."
An Chen had already confessed his feelings to the other party many times, but every time the other party just had an indifferent expression.
I already knew the result, so I wasn't angry: "You like Ye Yunfeng, right? Although I don't know why you like each other but can't be together, I won't ask too much about your private affairs, but when you leave, remember to tell me in advance."
"Okay." Qu Lingyuan was very grateful for his understanding. This was one of the reasons why she was only willing to make friends with him among many customers.
"An Chen is so pitiful." Yi Ling suddenly sighed.
"Are you as pitiful as me?" Qu Lingyuan got angry as soon as Yi Ling spoke.
"Ding Dong" the sound of a mobile phone notification rang out. Qu Lingyuan looked down and suddenly her eyes widened in horror.
Weibo Daily: A high-speed train rear-end-collision occurred between the D031 train from Station A to Station B and the D256 train from Station C to Station D, resulting in 98 deaths and 285 injuries.
D031...Isn’t that the bus Ye Yunfeng took?
"Yiling, help me hide the number."
"good."
After Qu Lingyuan finished giving the instructions, she hurriedly picked up her phone and called Ye Yunfeng.
As time passed, Qu Lingyuan's heart grew colder and colder. Fortunately, when she was about to despair, someone answered the phone.
"Hello?" A woman answered the phone. "I'm Yunfeng's mother. May I ask who you are...?"
Qu Lingyuan's voice choked: "Ye Yunfeng...is he okay?"
"The injuries are serious and he's still in surgery, but the doctor said he's not in danger of death," Ye Yunfeng's mother said with worry in her voice. "Oh, this kid is really... I don't know what he's doing in City B."
"Thank you." Knowing that he was still alive, Qu Lingyuan hung up the phone.
Why did another accident happen? It was obvious that Ye Yunfeng had only spoken to her a few words when he came to the store to buy things during this period. There shouldn't be such serious consequences...
Could it be... because we were too intimate last night?
"Achen." She suddenly called out to An Chen who was choosing something at the shelf.
"Huh? You...what happened?" An Chen turned around and saw that her eyes were red, so he hurried to her side.
Qu Lingyuan sniffed her sour nose and said, "Do me a favor and sell these two shops."
An Chen hesitated: "Yes, I can, but..."
"Don't ask anymore," Qu Lingyuan interrupted him hastily, "I'm leaving soon."
Ye Yunfeng must not be allowed to find her again. The train rear-ended... If Ye Yunfeng was among the 98 people who died...
Qu Lingyuan didn't even dare to think about it.
If she had known there would be such serious consequences, she would have packed up and left when the secretary came. She would not have gone to dinner with Ye Yunfeng, let alone drink.
In short, she shouldn't have let her guard down.
"You really don't want to give me a chance to take care of you?" An Chen didn't know why she was hiding like this, and what was the point.
"You don't understand," Qu Lingyuan gave her heartbreaking smile, "It's just that this world can't accommodate me."
An Chen was stunned. He didn't know what could have made a young girl so sad. He didn't dare to ask. He could only choose to agree. After all, a bootlicker is always humble.
"Okay, I'll help you sell it."
After Qu Lingyuan sold all the remaining items in the store, she began to pack her luggage.
She didn't buy a house and had been living in an empty room behind the shop. She just thought that being alive was enough, and also to avoid Ye Yunfeng, she had very few belongings. She didn't even take bedding with her. One suitcase was enough to take everything away, and even one-third of it was empty.
After An Chen helped her pack, he felt distressed and ran to the shopping mall across the street to buy some food and daily necessities, and stuffed them into her suitcase without saying a word.
"How can I give you the money after the store is sold?" An Chen selfishly wanted to leave a contact number.
But Qu Lingyuan only gave him a card number: "Just dial in here."
"Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you and not give you money?" An Chen joked.
"I believe you." She smiled and said it easily.
Her gentle face filled his eyes, and An Chen was speechless for a moment: "You really are..."
It's addictive, yet heartless enough.
Qu Lingyuan handed over everything in the store to him, wrote a letter of authorization, completed the notarization, and then hurriedly left with her suitcase.
After walking a few steps, she looked back at the shop sign and An Chen standing at the door, and felt a little reluctant to leave.
Life here was very comfortable, but after all, there was no room for her.
Looking at Qu Lingyuan's leaving back, An Chen knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he would never see her again in this life.
Before she left, she left a message for An Chen: "You are still young, don't waste your time on me."
The arrogant young man who had always been carefree could not help but feel the pain. He did not say softly until he could no longer see her back, "But I really like you. Goodbye."
Wiping away tears with his wrist, An Chen walked into the store.
He planned to buy this store himself. Now that that heartless person had left, he should at least leave some memories for himself, right?
The poet's wandering sorrow had nothing to do with him; this was merely proof that his first love had ended in vain.
