Are her eyes red?
Maybe I was too sad after hearing what happened to my parents, so I cried.
Qin Shu did not see the worry in Bai Chu's eyes. He saw the handsome young man in front of him, but the words spoken by those servants and maids kept repeating in his ears.
She lowered her eyelashes, restrained her emotions, and showed a hint of alienation. However, there was still a slight curve at the corner of her lips on her soft face.
"I'm fine. What do you want from me?"
The two men stood face to face, but one was inside the door and the other was outside. Qin Shu had no intention of inviting Bai Chu in.
Bai Chu stared at the girl in front of him for a long time, his handsome brows slightly furrowed. He always felt that there seemed to be something different about Qin Shu.
No, it's completely different from when I was in Bai Mansion before.
At this moment, Qin Shu was like a kite that had broken free from its string. It seemed that he would drift farther and farther away with the wind, and it seemed that he could not be caught no matter what.
She was still smiling, but he inexplicably felt that smile was very dazzling.
"Xiaoshu, are you angry? Is it because I didn't have dinner with you?" Bai Chu's childhood experiences have made him very sensitive to other people's emotions.
He felt that Qin Shu had changed, was no longer the same, but he did not like the changed Qin Shu. He was usually indifferent, but for a moment he became a little restless.
The girl's expression didn't change at all. She said naturally, "No, why would I be angry with you? I just had something to do at home, so I rushed back."
Bai Chu stared at her without saying a word, as if trying to judge the truthfulness of her words. After a long while, he said, "Really?"
Qin Shu nodded almost without hesitation.
Bai Chu didn't know whether he believed it or not: "Then I'll treat you to a meal next time."
Qin Shu tightened his fingers on the door, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll have dinner with you next time if there's a chance." But, there probably won't be another chance in the future.
Qin Shu drooped his eyelashes slightly, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
There seemed to be some unusual movement inside the house. Qin Shu stood at the door and couldn't see inside. He could only say to Bai Chu, "My father seems to be in trouble. I have to go see him."
"Okay, go ahead. I should go back too."
Qin Shu gave Bai Chu a final, deep look and slowly closed the door.
Bai Chu just watched the slender figure gradually disappear into the door. For a moment, he wanted to step forward to stop the door from closing, but in the end he held back.
The door slammed shut, and the figure completely disappeared from sight.
A door seems to separate two people inside and outside the door, who can meet each other again by just opening the door. It also seems like a huge ravine, with two people at the two ends of the ravine, unable to cross it no matter what.
Qin Shu leaned his back against the door, feeling as if his heart was soaked in ice water, so cold that he almost froze.
Maybe it's better to be frozen, with a layer of ice as a shell, so that you can be free from worries and fears.
Bai Chu stood outside the door, his eyes still fixed on the door, not leaving for a long time.
For a moment, he wondered if Qin Shu would open the door again.
But, it didn’t…
I don't know how long I stood there, until my legs felt numb, and then the moonlit figure outside the door finally left...
-
Bai Chu returned to the Bai Mansion with a tense face and absent-mindedness all the way.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, a light yellow figure walked over.
