Chapter 70 Why didn’t you tell me earlier?



"Where's Agent Fang?"

"She didn't find what she left, so she told you to return it to her, and then she left." Shen Zhiming said sullenly, "It's because Sister Fang smells so good of coffee that it makes my mouth water. Do you think it would be rude for me to ask her what brand of coffee she drinks?"

Posture: ???

"What coffee scent? Why can't I smell it?" Why is there such a weird coffee scent on Agent Fang?

The vigilant old mother immediately became alert.

"I think..." Ziyi frowned, "Maybe it's a bit abrupt. How about this, I'm thick-skinned, I'll go ask for you."

"Okay, I don't know why, maybe it's because Sister Fang is too serious. My personality trait comes out when I see her." Shen Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief. After being lazy for a long time, seeing that Ziyi really didn't help her make coffee, she had to get up and ran to find a bag of instant coffee.

"Your attributes switch seamlessly," Ziyi shook her head. Sometimes she's a social genius, sometimes she's socially anxious, all depending on Shen Zhiming's mental state that day.

Shen Zhiming was extremely excited after drinking coffee, and started to form a team to play games. Zizi saw the situation and yawned and went to the room to call Qin Yuhuan.

The phone rang for a while before it was picked up, but the voice that came through was not Qin Yuhuan, but... Ziyi still remembered this voice, it was Qin Yuhuan's childhood friend.

"Ziyi, Yuyu is taking a shower. She asked me to tell her that she'll call you later."

After receiving the news that Ziyi had arrived home, Qin Yuhuan went to take a shower with peace of mind. Normally, when Ziyi called, she would turn off the water and answer the phone even if she was taking a shower, but the situation was different today.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yuhuan still wanted to use this opportunity to act as a middleman and give Qiao Yuning a chance to express her gratitude.

Otherwise, Qiao Yuning would always feel guilty about this matter, and as for Ziyi... she wouldn't meet Qiao Yuning every time.

"Oh, then please tell her, Miss Qiao, I'm not in a hurry. It's nothing important."

Ziyi was about to hang up the phone when she heard Qiao Yuning shout, "Wait a minute."

Ziyi's tone was gentle: "Is there anything else?"

"Ziyi, do you still remember our second year of high school? We, we met." Qiao Yuning mustered up her courage. "I'm so sorry. I haven't been able to say thank you to you properly for all these years, and I caused your broken hand to be injured again."

She couldn't even afford Ziyi's medical expenses.

It is no wonder that Qiao Yuning thinks she has no conscience. Since Ziyi is not from a wealthy family, the money for treating her arm is not a small expense. Qiao Yuning does not have a particularly happy family, and she also has her own unspeakable difficulties. At that time, even if she wanted to bear the medical expenses, she could not afford it.

"It's okay, I understand, Miss Qiao. It's enough that you're fine." Ziyi smiled and didn't say anything about the shadow of the shadow. Anyone who encounters such a situation will be scared for a few years.

"No matter what, I should say thank you. Ziyi, thank you." Qiao Yuning expressed her gratitude sincerely. "After that incident, my mood and state of mind have not been very good. It was Yuyu who helped me send you a small thank-you gift. Otherwise, I don't know how I would face you today."

Ziyi was stunned, "What thank-you gift?" She had never known Qin Yuhuan before.

"It seemed to be a scarf," Qiao Yuning recalled, "She said you were afraid of the cold, so she knitted a scarf for you. Later, she told you to accept it, and then I..." I felt a little relieved.

"I see, Miss Qiao, thank you. I received your thanks. You're welcome. As for my hand, it's healed now. There are no sequelae, so don't worry."

Ziyi grabbed the phone and began to rummage through the drawers looking for the scarf she hadn't worn for a long time. If she remembered correctly, she had specifically reminded her aunt to take it out regularly for cleaning and maintenance and not to throw it away.

But searching for a scarf in a huge cloakroom where you have no idea what it is packed like is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack. Ziyi has never felt as annoyed by the large size of the cloakroom as she does now.

The scariest thing is that she has more than one dressing room, there is a bigger one upstairs.

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries with Qiao Yuning and accepting her invitation to treat her to dinner next time, she hung up the phone and opened the drawers one by one.

Those drawers and cabinets that were not used to store scarves were also turned clean, and the tidy dressing room became a mess in a short time.

Ziyi thought for a moment and knocked on the door of the aunt who lived there. "Auntie, do you remember I have a scarf?" Ziyi gestured around her neck. "It's beige, with a twisted pattern. I even told you I really like it and I couldn't throw it away."

"I remember it was put upstairs. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you." Since Ziyi was eighteen years old and came to Jincheng, Aunt Sun has been taking care of Ziyi's food and daily life. She is dedicated to her job and remembers very clearly the things that Ziyi specially marked.

Just because it is summer now and scarves are winter items, they are all put into another cloakroom.

Ziyi searched for something for a long time but couldn't find it, but Aunt Sun found it in less than half an hour.

She held the cardboard box containing the scarf, thanked Aunt Sun, and prepared to go back to her room, but she paused and said, "By the way, Aunt, I messed up the cloakroom. You can ask someone to clean it up tomorrow. You don't have to buy new clothes. I like these clothes very much."

Aunt Sun agreed.

After entering the room, Qin Yuhuan's call had not come yet. Ziyi opened the chat dialog box between the two of them, took out the scarf, took a few photos and sent them to him.

Qin Yuhuan, whose secret was suddenly known, said: ...

She was only concerned about letting Qiao Yuning take this opportunity to thank Ziyi over the phone, and forgot about the scarf.

Ziyi's voice followed the photo: "Sister, you've been in the shower for over 40 minutes. Aren't you afraid of wrinkles from the water?"

The relaxed tone with a smile clearly showed that he already knew everything and was waiting for Qin Yuhuan to come and explain.

Qin Yuhuan: ...

After clicking on the picture and zooming in, I found that the scarf was extremely well protected, without even a single pilling, which shows that someone is always maintaining it.

His heart seemed to be filled with an inexplicable emotion. The gift he made himself was carefully cared for by the person who received it. Even though that person initially accepted the gift and cared for it because of a misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding was that it was given by his beloved, Qin Yuhuan still felt good.

At least……

This scarf was knitted by her own hands, and this is an unchangeable fact.

She had hidden her love deep in her heart, and only expressed it that one time, using the excuse of thanking Qiao Yuning.

Every stitch and every thread is filled with the silent admiration of her youth.

The call was finally made.

Ziyi seemed to be standing by the phone, answering the call almost instantly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier, huh?"
