Chapter 48.
She was not in a hurry to go to the chosen place. After all, no matter how remote the place was, people would occasionally go there during the day. In order for the plot to end smoothly, Qian Yirong planned to go there in the evening.
However, Xu Baiqing sensed a sense of things settling from Qian Yirong, and thought that something must be happening today, which made Xu Baiqing even more uneasy.
Moreover, Xu Baiqing discovered that Qian Yirong was even more indulgent towards her today. It seemed that no matter what excessive request she made, Qian Yirong would agree to it, as if she wanted to fulfill all her wishes before parting.
This made Xu Baiqing hold Qian Yirong's hand even harder, causing Qian Yirong to feel pain. Qian Yirong knew how smart Xu Baiqing was, and since she didn't try to hide it too much, she would always find something unusual.
After noticing that Xu Baiqing was absent-minded, she finally pulled him to a quiet corner. Looking at the anxious Xu Baiqing, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Bai Qing, look at me," Qian Yirong held Xu Baiqing's face and asked him to look at her. She said, "You guessed something, didn't you?"
"...I don't know what you are talking about." Xu Baiqing's face was pale and his eyes were wandering, avoiding Qian Yirong's eyes, and he said with difficulty.
"I don't believe it," Qian Yirong sighed. "Bai Qing is so smart, how could he not know what I'm talking about?"
As Qian Yirong finished speaking, Xu Baiqing's eyes quickly turned red and tears rolled down one by one. Xu Baiqing's crying was not heart-wrenching, but this silent crying was even more distressing.
Qian Yirong hugged her in her arms and stroked her back gently, while Xu Baiqing hugged Qian Yirong's back tightly, as if she wanted to merge her into her body. She rested her chin on Qian Yirong's shoulder, still crying, but there was a cruel look in her eyes.
"...Don't go..." Xu Baiqing pleaded softly.
"..." Qian Yirong was silent. This was not something she could control, and this was not her world. She could not abandon her family and friends.
Xu Baiqing understood everything from Qian Yirong's silence. She knew that she could not change Qian Yirong's decision. Even whether to leave or not was not something she could decide, if that was the case.
"Then take me away." Xu Baiqing continued.
Qian Yirong continued to remain silent. She had not found a way to communicate with the book. She didn't even know whether she would leave after finishing this part of the story, so she had no way to make a promise to Xu Baiqing.
She can't be allowed to leave like this. Xu Baiqing's request was not met, and her eyes were dark. Otherwise, take her away and lock her up. If Qian Yirong disappeared now, as long as Qu Xueer was fooled, no one would investigate her whereabouts.
"...I'm sorry, but this is not something I can decide. I don't even know if it will go smoothly." Qian Yirong sensed a subtle sense of crisis from Xu Baiqing's silence, which made her unable to help but make a ambiguous explanation.
But this also successfully stopped Xu Baiqing's increasingly dark thoughts. She heard from Qian Yirong's explanation that she had no choice, and even Qian Yirong's sudden abnormality at the time appeared in her mind.
It seemed like it happened suddenly after she let herself get in the car. Perhaps Qian Yirong was forced to do something, and if she failed, she would be punished by that unknown thing.
If today is the last thing Qian Yirong has to complete, and if she doesn't cooperate, Qian Yirong may be punished more severely, or even... die. No, no, if the result will be like this, Xu Baiqing would rather she leave.
Xu Baiqing gave up the idea of taking Qian Yirong away and locking him up. She just hugged Qian Yirong even tighter, treating the rest of the time she spent with him as if it were her last second.
Qian Yirong also noticed Xu Baiqing's thoughts from her actions, and hugged her tightly with reluctance in her heart. Xu Baiqing was willing to leave with her, and Qian Yirong wanted to take her away so much.
Qian Yirong believed that her relatives and friends would also like Xu Baiqing. Compared with leaving her in the hypocritical Qian family, she could give Xu Baiqing more positive emotional feedback, but these were not something Qian Yirong could decide.
Just as the two people were hugging each other reluctantly, a man wearing a hat and sunglasses was peeking furtively from behind a building not far away, looking at the two people hugging each other and ready to make a move.
"What do you want to do?" Qu Qingyu speechlessly pulled Mu Zexuan's arm, because this man looked like he wanted to rush over and separate the two people hugging each other.
"I want to go over and take a look. Qian Yirong seems to have made Bai Qing cry." Mu Zexuan said, trying to shake off Qu Qingyu's hand.
"Come on, didn't you see Xu Baiqing hugging Qian Yirong so tightly, as if she made him cry?" Qu Qingyu grabbed her. Girls are very emotional. Maybe they just cried when they saw something touching. Is it necessary for Mu Zexuan to run over and make trouble?
"Zexuan, calm down. No one likes a man who is too clingy." Shen Tianxing said while leaning against the wall. He was scared that Mu Zexuan would become like this just because he fell in love with a girl.
After all, Mu Zexuan used to be calm and arrogant, and was the most difficult one to approach among the four of them. But looking at Mu Zexuan now, he is impulsive and irritable, which is completely different from his previous self, which makes Shen Tianxing suddenly resist feelings.
It also made him wary of Xu Baiqing who had changed Mu Zexuan. After all, he had been curious about Xu Baiqing before, but now he had no choice but to keep his distance from Xu Baiqing. After all, maybe it wasn't just Mu Zexuan who had been changed, Shen Tianxing thought, his eyes passing over Li Jingyan who was quietly waiting beside him.
After being persuaded by the two people, Mu Zexuan finally calmed down. However, when he looked at Qian Yirong who was hugging Xu Baiqing tightly, he couldn't help feeling jealous. He and Xu Baiqing had only shaken hands at most, and there was no more intimate action. Is this the gender advantage? At this moment, Mu Zexuan suddenly envied Qian Yirong.
As Mu Zexuan felt like the days were passing by, the two people who had been hugging each other finally separated, and then left the quiet corner hand in hand. Mu Zexuan quickly called for others to follow.
From then on, Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing held hands and never let go until the sun set and the sky gradually darkened. Qian Yirong knew that she could not delay any longer. If it was completely dark, it would be difficult to deal with any danger that might occur.
"Let's go, let's go there." Qian Yirong said,
Xu Baiqing's body stiffened. Qian Yirong had always obeyed her arrangements before, but the moment she opened her mouth to make a request, Xu Baiqing knew it was over. She stiffened her body and let Qian Yirong lead her further and further away.
Gradually, no passers-by could be seen, and only the two of them were left. They walked through a small forest, isolated from the noisy sounds, and came to a small slope where they could see the sea. Before, she and Qian Yirong had been sitting on the edge of the slope, letting their feet soak in the sea water.
Qian Yirong took Xu Baiqing to the edge of the hill. Qian Yirong took a step back and Xu Baiqing turned to look at her. Qian Yirong listened attentively to the movements in the grove until a rustling sound was heard.
Qian Yirong looked up at Xu Baiqing who was quietly waiting for her action, her eyes full of reluctance. Perhaps no one would make her heart beat as fast as Xu Baiqing, but she didn't know what would happen in the future. But even if she could never see Xu Baiqing again, she hoped that Xu Baiqing would have a smooth road ahead and would not have to go through hardships and pain again.
"...Sorry..." Qian Yirong said softly, slowly reaching out to push Xu Baiqing's shoulder.
"Stop!" A familiar male voice came from the woods behind him.
Qian Yirong breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if she didn't have to actually push Xu Baiqing into the sea. After all, in the eyes of those people in the woods, she seemed to want to push Xu Baiqing into the sea.
As the people in the woods were running towards this side, Qian Yirong's outstretched hand was held by Xu Baiqing. Under Qian Yirong's astonished gaze, Xu Baiqing fell backwards, pulling the completely defenseless Qian Yirong down with him. In the eyes of Mu Zexuan and others who rushed over, both of them fell into the sea.
Falling into the sea, the sea water surrounded the two from all directions. Qian Yirong was pulled close and hugged by Xu Baiqing. The sunlight, which had become less bright due to the evening, was blocked by the sea water, leaving only a faint light of varying brightness.
All the sounds were blocked by the sea water, and the world seemed to be quiet, with only the two of them left. At this moment, Xu Baiqing thought that if Qian Yirong was going to leave, it would be better for the two of them to die.
Qian Yirong noticed the changes in the life-saving bracelet on her wrist, and quickly hugged Xu Baiqing tightly. The inflatable bag in the life-saving bracelet expanded rapidly, and the buoyancy carried Qian Yirong up. She hugged Xu Baiqing tightly and floated up with her.
When the two people surfaced from the sea, the sun was setting on the sea level. The orange sunlight made the sea surface sparkle with golden light. Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing, who had just surfaced from the sea, hugged each other in this golden light.
"Cough cough..." Xu Baiqing couldn't help but cough.
"You..." Qian Yirong wanted to scold Xu Baiqing for her dangerous behavior, but when she saw her suddenly smiling brightly at her, she couldn't say the words of scolding.
She didn't leave, Rongrong didn't leave. Xu Baiqing looked greedily at Qian Yirong's familiar expression and the concern in his eyes for him. When he saw Mu Zexuan, Xu Baiqing guessed what Qian Yirong was going to do.
So when Qian Yirong was about to withdraw her hand, Xu Baiqing took the initiative to pull her backwards, thinking of having one last crazy time. Even if she couldn't keep Qian Yirong here, she would leave a deep enough impression on Qian Yirong so that she wouldn't forget her easily.
But the result was better than she expected. She did not leave. Xu Baiqing could swim, so when he found that Qian Yirong seemed unable to swim, he immediately hugged her nervously. Because of the buoyancy of the inflatable bag of the lifeband, Xu Baiqing and Qian Yirong quickly returned to the shore.
