Chapter 21: Don’t meet again. Even if you think you’re pitying me, you can’t…
"Nuruo, I'm sorry I didn't know that brat Ji Wenjun would come today. Nuruo, don't be sad. You didn't have to be like that just now. Why did you care about them? Just let them fight!" Li Jinmiao caught up with Su Yinuo and took her arm.
"I'm not sad," Su Yinuo raised her rosy face and smiled at Li Jinmiao. She really didn't look sad.
Li Jinmiao was very surprised, and her mind was confused for a long time. Su Yinuo pointed at the elevator and said with a smile, "Sister Miaomiao, let's go to the rooftop garden. There will be a drone show later!"
"well."
Arriving on the rooftop of the clubhouse, Su Yinuo was truly captivated by the fairytale-like sky garden. On the side near Pearl Lake, countless star-like strings of lights twinkled among the treetops, while on the other side of the garden, a massive artificial moon radiated a soft glow. This dreamlike design divided the space into two distinct worlds: the moonlit area seemed as if it were daytime, while the unlit area seemed to fade into the darkness of a mysterious jungle.
Su Yinuo pulled Li Jinmiao to the side of the moon and entered the beautifully arranged flowerbed. Looking at the wisteria flowers hanging from the top of her head, she said excitedly, "Sister Miaomiao, please take a few pictures for me! I'll take pictures of you after you finish taking pictures!"
Girls' happiness is so simple. The two of them shuttled back and forth in the garden, and their mobile phones were already full of photos, including many intimate photos of the two of them hugging each other.
"Wow, we really look alike. This is such a rare match..."
The two of them came to the side near Mingzhu Lake and sat on a bench. Li Jinmiao looked at the photo and sighed.
Su Yinuo looked at the calm lake in the night, looking forward to the performance.
"Hey, Nunuo, I still don't understand why you admitted that you liked Qin Cangye in the private room just now?" Li Jinmiao asked in confusion.
Su Yinuo smiled easily and replied: "Don't give it to him, and don't cause trouble for yourself."
Li Jinmiao still didn't quite understand.
Su Yinuo explained, "He didn't want to admit that he had any relationship with me in front of others. Maybe it was because he was afraid of his grandfather, as Sister Miaomiao said before? So in that situation, I had to stand up. I don't care. Anyway, I'm not from your circle. No one will be able to find me after today. It won't affect anyone if I admit that I have a crush on him. Besides..." Su Yinuo tilted her head and gave Li Jinmiao a cute smile, "It's not shameful to like him, right?"
"Right! What's so shameful about liking someone? You're right, Nuonuo! Oh, Nuonuo, you're such a little angel..." Li Jinmiao hugged Su Yinuo and praised her for a long time. Suddenly, she let go of Su Yinuo, grabbed her shoulders and asked seriously, "But, isn't this equivalent to confessing your love to Qin Cangye? Do you really want to have a secret relationship with him?"
"Ah?? I didn't expect this..." Su Yinuo panicked and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I don't want to have an underground relationship. I didn't want to date him. Oh, he might misunderstand me. What should I do?" She grabbed her hair in frustration, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I'll just not meet him in the future..."
Just as Su Yinuo finished speaking, a cold voice came from the dark jungle behind him: "Really... we won't meet again?"

More than ten minutes ago, after Su Yinuo rushed out of the private room, Qin Cangye had been sitting calmly in his seat, and the angry look on his face had dissipated a lot, only because of Su Yinuo's words "I have a one-sided affection for Mr. Qin".
He held the wine glass and stared at the transparent liquid in the glass. He no longer paid attention to the crazy Ji Wenjun and Ji Chengan who kept apologizing. Instead, he kept repeating Su Yinuo's words in his mind, as if he was savoring a glass of century-old wine.
A few minutes later, he stood up calmly and said, "It's almost time. I'll be leaving now. If you guys want to play other games, you can put them on my account."
After saying that, he nodded slightly and slowly walked out of the private room.
After closing the door, he quickened his pace and found Zhang Yifeng who was waiting in the hall. He asked, "Where are they?"
"The top floor," Zhang Yifeng, who was in a bad mood, replied coldly.
So, Qin Cangye appeared on the top floor, and in the dark jungle filled with sweet floral fragrance, he heard the conversation between Li Jinmiao and Su Yinuo.
His mood fluctuated with every word Su Yinuo said. When he heard the words "I won't meet him again in the future", his whole body stiffened and his mood fell into an endless cold pool.
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Really... we won't meet again?"
Su Yinuo and Li Jinmiao stood up from the bench and turned around at the same time to look at Qin Cangye, who looked a little eerie and scary in the shadows.
When you look closely at his eyes and expression, it is not so scary anymore, because those clear eyes reflecting the light are full of grievance and sadness.
"Sister Miaomiao, let me talk to him alone," Su Yinuo said to Li Jinmiao.
Li Jinmiao nodded and whispered, "Be careful. If that guy dares to molest you, just scream. I'll be waiting for you on the other side of the moon."
"Don't worry, Sister Miaomiao," Su Yinuo patted Li Jinmiao's hand.
After Li Jinmiao left, Su Yinuo waved to Qin Cangye, who looked like a lost big dog.
Qin Cangye walked out from the shadows and came to Su Yinuo. He looked at her thin gray sweater and asked softly, "The wind is strong on the lake. Isn't it cold?"
He took off his coat and put it on Su Yinuo.
Warmth immediately permeated my whole body, and the dampness and coldness of the lake in the autumn night were all blocked outside the loose clothes. The clothes were stained with a little smell of alcohol and a faint scent of pine.
"Thank you," Su Yinuo lowered his head, clutched his coat tightly, and organized his words in his mind. When he was about to speak, bursts of exclamations broke out from the side and not far away.
Light pierced the dark night sky and shone from behind. Su Yinuo immediately turned around, her eyes wide open in surprise. Her bright eyes were immediately filled with countless brilliant stars.
The drone show has begun.
It seemed as if a river of stars was pouring out from the Pearl Lake, swirling and clustering upwards, constantly rotating, blending, and changing in the dark sky, and finally forming a magnificent Milky Way that cannot be described in words.
Su Yinuo had never witnessed such a stunning drone show live. Her hands, clutching her coat, dropped, and she opened her mouth slightly, but her amazement froze on the corner of her mouth. She forgot what she wanted to say to Qin Cangye, where she was, and everything around her. Only the dazzling stream of light filled her mind.
Qin Cangye slowly approached, stretched out his fingers and tentatively hooked Su Yinuo's hand. When he was not rejected, he gently took her small hand into his palm.
He also looked up at the stunning galaxy under the black sky, a smile as bright as starlight rising from the corner of his mouth.
The drone show didn't last long, and Su Yinuo's heart, like the gradually receding and fading starlight, fell into a void. When the starlight completely faded, she felt the warmth enveloping her palm, filled with regret.
She screamed and tried to pull her hand away, but Qin Cangye suddenly exerted force and pulled her into his broad arms.
"Nono, I like you."
The sudden confession rang in Su Yinuo's ears. She was not very surprised, nor was she very moved. Instead, her nose felt sore and a few hot tears rolled down her face.
When Qin Cangye held her face, he found that his palms were wet.
"Nuo Nuo, why are you crying?" he asked anxiously, thinking that his confession had frightened her, so he loosened his grip on her hand.
"Ah, it's okay," Su Yinuo quickly took a step back, wiped away her tears, and said embarrassedly: "I was just too focused on watching it just now. I feel a little empty and sad when it ended so suddenly."
"Then I'll let them perform it again!" Qin Cangye said hurriedly.
"No, no, no," Su Yinuo waved her hands hurriedly, "It must cost a lot of money to perform once, right?"
"Not much, only about half a million."
"This is not much..." Su Yinuo smiled bitterly.
"As long as you're happy, it's not too much," Qin Cangye said seriously, without any of the flowery words of a rich young man. After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and carefully observed the slightly nervous expression on Su Yinuo's face. After a moment of hesitation, he reminded her, "Nunuo, I just said I like..."
"Ah! I also wanted to say something!" Su Yinuo interrupted Qin Cangye in surprise, "I haven't finished yet, let me speak first."
Qin Cangye closed his mouth, feeling a strong sense of unease in his heart.
"Mr. Qin," Su Yinuo took a deep breath, and the tension on her face gradually disappeared. She couldn't bear to see Qin Cangye say those words of rejection, so she turned and looked at the Pearl Lake, which had fallen into complete silence and was dimly lit.
"Mr. Qin, we are not from the same world. Five hundred thousand is just a drop in the ocean for you, but for me, it is wealth that can allow me to live a stable life. I know that the gap between rich and poor is not a problem for you. After all, you can fill all the gaps in my family with a wave of your hand. However, the gap in vision, cognition, living habits, etc. brought about by this gap between rich and poor will make us grow further apart due to our different values. My appearance by your side is just a coincidence. We are not suitable to be together. At most, I should be an insignificant episode in your life, and I should not receive any more attention from you. So, forget it."
Su Yinuo spoke calmly, because these words had appeared in her mind over and over again countless times. She used these words to convince herself, and she also believed that these words would definitely convince Qin Cangye.
However, he heard Qin Cangye's painful questioning: "How do you know that I can't accept everything about you? How do you know that I can't make you accept everything about me?"
Su Yinuo was stunned and slowly turned to look at Qin Cangye, who looked a little out of control.
"Nuo Nuo, you don't know how much I like you," Qin Cangye stepped forward and tightly grasped Su Yinuo's wrist, his eyes red. "Just give it a try, and you'll know I can do anything for you! So, don't just let it go. Even if you think you're pitying me, you can't just let it go like that!"
Su Yinuo's wrist was pinched so hard that it hurt. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She opened her mouth slightly and said in a trembling voice, "But I don't dare to try!"
Hot tears dripped onto the back of Qin Cangye's hand. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Yinuo's even sadder words: "Don't you dare? Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will know about my existence? I know your family is a hell of a place, and I'm afraid of your grandfather, so I avoid him. I'm sorry, I'm a very timid person. I don't have the courage to fight against anything alongside you. I'm not worthy of your love at all. So, forget it!"
Su Yinuo shook off the stunned Qin Cangye's gradually loosening hand, took a few steps back, and held back the tears that were about to burst out again. Before turning around and running away, she left a sentence:
"Let's not meet again, Mr. Qin."
