"Happy New Year, and good luck in the competition."
After waving goodbye to Zhou Yili, Dai Shutao gathered his coat and went back into the gate.
It’s too cold, and people can’t think straight because of the cold.
Dai Shutao felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have gone downstairs from the beginning. If she didn't hear the doorbell, she wouldn't see Qin Yinchu, nor would Zhou Yili think that she had an accident and called the police, and finally meet Qin Guican.
Being confessed to should be a happy thing, but the love expressed by the wrong person is as light as a feather.
Dai Shutao buried her head in the pile of blankets on the sofa, her mind in a mess, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
When she opened her eyes again, a wave of hunger swept over her, forcing Dai Shutao to get up.
After all, it was the Chinese New Year, and Hu Ke had been busy all year. I heard that he had to send one of the artists home last night, and he just got on the bus back to his hometown this morning. Dai Shutao certainly felt embarrassed to bother him just because she was hungry.
As for others, let alone them, they all want to spend time with their families during the holidays. I guess they are all acting like children at home now!
She's the only one left...
Dai Shutao sat up lazily, crossed her legs and looked at the ceiling.
She felt empty and was alone again, just like in her previous life. In the end, there was no one around but her, watching the clock go around over and over again.
This feels... really bad.
…
Qin Guican, who sent Qin Yinchu home, did not return to his own home. After thinking for a moment, he drove directly in another direction.
When Shao Zuo received the call, he kissed his wife lightly, put on his coat and left.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Qin Guican standing at the door looking at him coldly.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at a private rest house that was open year-round.
"What?"
Shao Zuo stared at Qin Guican in disbelief.
When the man heard him shouting, he subconsciously frowned and immediately glared at him with a warning look.
"If I knew that what I said to you tonight would be spread to others, you know the consequences."
Shao Zuo, who had tasted the power of Qin Guican's fists when he was young, slapped his lips awkwardly, looked around with strange eyes, and squeezed out a sound with his Adam's apple rolling.
"Your confession failed, or was it because of the bad things you did in the past... Tsk tsk, I told you to keep a backup plan when doing things."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Guican gave him another look that made Shao Zuo swallow all his complaints.
That being said, no one could have imagined at the time that the person Qin Guican casually targeted would become the person he loved in the future. If he had known earlier...
Shao Zuo lit up Qin Guican and felt a little frustrated.
Based on his understanding of Qin Guican, even if the other party knew, he would still sneer at it and would be even more determined to kill him.
You deserve it, you really deserve it.
But then again... a man like Qin Guican, who has good looks, a good family background, and excellent work ability, has never been in a relationship until now, except for his bad temper. This is also a rare thing.
Of course, most of the reason may be due to Qin Guican’s family education when he was young, which forced him to abandon the playful mentality that his peers should have and focus all his attention on work and study.
Sometimes, from a certain perspective, Shao Zuo still sympathizes with Qin Guican.
"So what are you going to do next?" Shao Zuo knocked on the table. "Are you going to just let it go, or continue pursuing her?"
"Of course I will continue." Qin Guican's expression softened a little. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but a rare look of distress appeared on his face. "She seems to be very taboo about the past. I don't know how to explain it."
"Okay, you don't have any room for explanation."
Shao Zuo counted the details on his fingers, "At first, you taught Dai Shutao a lesson for your sister, as a warning. Later, for commercial gain, you tried every possible means to sign Dai Shutao to your company, even using the charitable donations to dig a hole. Qin Guican, have you been concentrating on digging holes all your life?"
Shao Zuo chuckled, "But then again, have you liked her for a long time? Otherwise, when she fainted, why did you personally take her to the hospital and specifically point to me? According to your usual style, shouldn't you just throw her at your doorstep and not care whether she lives or dies?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here too."
Qin Guican's eyes were sharp, trying to hide the unnaturalness in his heart.
He couldn't tell Shao Zuo that when he saw Dai Shutao faint, he panicked for a moment and suddenly remembered the angora rabbit he raised to death as a child, and thought that Dai Shutao would suffer the same fate.
It was only after sending Dai Shutao to the hospital that Qin Guican realized how it could be such a coincidence and how it could be so dramatic.
"I called you out here to help me find a solution, not to make sarcastic remarks. If you keep talking nonsense, you can just leave now."
Shao Zuo was already accustomed to Qin Guican's ruthlessness. He leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment, then suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Yes, you should be more cautious when dealing with an unconventional woman like Dai Shutao."
"What?"
"Shame on you."
Shao Zuo had a lot of experience in this regard. When he mentioned the four words "shameless", he also started talking about it, completely ignoring Qin Guican's strange look.
"Speaking of pursuing your beloved, you can't have any dignity. If you do, you'll get nothing. Look at where you failed the first few times. It was because you were too polite to her, so polite that you almost bowed three times to her. You're directly distancing yourself from her like that. What's the point of talking about the future?"
Qin Guican had only listened halfway and wanted to interrupt, but Hu Ke was so excited that he just waved his hand at him.
"Also, I've told you before that you're her boss and her landlord. I've told you this over and over again, but look at you, you always ask her out for dinner. What's the point of having dinner? Will it make her pay more attention to you? Someone who doesn't know would think you're a free cafeteria. Serve up, big brother!"
Hu Ke spoke earnestly, and it seemed that he was just about to hold Qin Guican's head down to teach him what to do.
In his opinion, Qin Guican had countless opportunities to take his relationship with Dai Shutao to the next level, but he just adhered to the gentleman's way and missed the opportunity. Even the softest-hearted woman would only regard him as a good friend after Qin Guican's actions.
"And what you have to do now," Hu Ke put a hand directly on Qin Guican's shoulder and said earnestly, "is to seize every opportunity to show your warmth and express your gratitude!"
Seeing Hu Ke's serious expression, Qin Guican slowly lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking for a moment.
The next morning, Dai Shutao rolled up the quilt and walked down the stairs, gritting her teeth and looking as if she wanted to kill someone.
This damn bell rang for over ten minutes. What on earth was it trying to do? Was it trying to summon the soul?
