Chapter 644 If you're going to leave, leave gracefully.
Qin Feng never dreamed that the moment he threw away the cicada, Shen Li would pick it up again.
Looking at the cicada that Shen Li handed him, his temples twitched: "What are you doing rummaging through the trash can in the middle of the night?"
Shen Li thought Qin Feng would be happy and relieved, but the other party's reaction confused him: "I just... I just passed by and saw it."
He said, bewildered, "Brother Feng, open your eyes and look! This is your cicada, your cicada! It was thrown into the trash can. If it weren't for me, it would have been sent to the recycling center for disposal tomorrow. I picked it up for you, so why aren't you happy at all?!"
Qin Feng glanced at the cicada in his hand, which had been rubbed until its fur was ruffled, and looked away, saying, "Because I threw it away."
Shen Li wanted to emphasize the importance of the matter, but upon hearing this, he was even more stunned: "What? You threw it?!"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Qin Feng's head—it was ice-cold.
Qin Feng hissed and slapped his hand away: "What are you doing?"
Shen Li asked blankly, "He doesn't have a fever. Could it be that he's been possessed?"
Qin Feng looked at him speechlessly: "Stop thinking about this nonsense. If you've thrown it away, you've thrown it away. Put it back where you picked it up."
Shen Li really couldn't understand: "Brother Feng, what's wrong with you? Isn't this cicada your most precious possession?! For over twenty years, you've traveled all over the country, and it's never left your side. Besides, it's also your and Sister Qiaoqiao's 'token of love'. How can you just throw it away like that?"
"Could it be... that you and Sister Qiaoqiao had a fight? But even if you did, you can't take it out on her!"
Shen Li held up the cicada to Qin Feng, looking indignant.
Qin Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose, knowing that this matter was not going to be resolved peacefully, so he could only sigh and say, "I misunderstood before. Zhou Qiao... is not the person who saved me when I was a child."
It took Shen Li a moment to process what he was saying, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Brother Feng, what did you say? If it's not Sister Qiaoqiao, then who is it?!"
Qin Feng lowered his eyes, sat down on the chair next to him, and slowly said, "Kong Wange."
Shen Li: "???"
He was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he stammered, "Brother Feng, you...you must be mistaken? How could it be a pretty sister? Wasn't this cicada made by Sister Qiaoqiao?"
"Yes, the cicada was made by Kong Wange. She gave it to Zhou Qiao, but Zhou Qiao... doesn't know how to make cicadas at all."
Shen Li: "..."
He was completely stunned. After a long while, he sat down in the chair next to Qin Feng with a thud, grabbed the tea next to him and gulped it down: "No, no, this is too shocking. I need to calm down, I need to calm down."
After a while, he calmed down a bit, then turned to Qin Feng with a complicated expression: "So, Brother Feng, you've mistaken me for someone else. The person who saved you when you were little wasn't Sister Qiaoqiao, but the pretty older sister. Does Sister Qiaoqiao know about this?"
"I don't know. This matter is over, let's leave it at that. I don't want her to know, and you're not allowed to talk about it."
“Okay.” Shen Li immediately shut his mouth, then cautiously asked, “So what’s next…”
He didn't say the rest, but Qin Feng understood what he meant.
So what are your thoughts? Would you break up with Qiaoqiao?
Will you go to see Sister Wan Ge?
Qin Feng sighed and was about to speak when he looked up and found Zhou Qiao standing at the door. His heart sank.
At this moment, Zhou Qiao's face turned a little pale, and her gaze fell unmistakably on the cicada in Shen Li's hand.
Qin Feng wasn't sure when she arrived or how much she had overheard.
His heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Qiaoqiao, when...did you arrive?"
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips, didn't reply, and turned to run back the way she came.
"Brother Feng, it seems Sister Qiaoqiao heard everything. Hurry and chase after her!" Shen Li said anxiously.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Feng had already darted out of the courtyard.
Seeing Qin Feng chasing after her, Zhou Qiao not only didn't stop, but ran even faster.
But as she ran, she felt something was wrong. He was the one in the wrong, so why was she running?
If it's a misunderstanding, it should be clarified.
So she suddenly stopped, and Qin Feng, caught off guard, almost bumped into her.
He was sweating profusely, a rare sight for him, and said urgently, "Qiaoqiao, let me explain."
Zhou Qiao turned around and handed the album to Qin Feng, saying, "No need to explain. Here, the album is good, but it may not suit me. Return it to its rightful owner."
Qin Feng didn't answer, and said again, "Qiaoqiao, it's really a misunderstanding."
Zhou Qiao forced the album into his pocket and said listlessly, "You don't need to explain. Listen to me first. I'm asking you, is it because of this cicada that you volunteered to tell my grandfather that you would take care of me?"
Qin Feng paused for a moment: "Yes."
Zhou Qiao's face paled even more, and her hands unconsciously clenched at her sides as she continued, "When we first arrived at the Shadow Gate, you were so nice to me because you mistook me for someone else, weren't you?"
Qin Feng wanted to say no, but since this factor was indeed a factor, he could only helplessly say, "Yes."
Zhou Qiao nodded: "Then there's nothing to explain. I didn't know you had mistaken me for someone else. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to be your girlfriend."
“Fortunately, we’ve just started dating, so there’s still time,” she said, her eyes reddening and her heart aching. She forced herself to say, “Don’t worry, I’m not one to drag things out. I won’t stay by your side. I’ll pack my things and leave first thing tomorrow morning.”
"Even if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends. As a friend, before I leave, I still want to give you some advice. Even if you still have feelings for Sister Kong, she has a family now and is very happy. You'd better not become a mistress."
She paused for a moment and then said, "Alright, that's all. I'm leaving."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Qin Feng grabbed her arm.
His expression was somewhat somber, but the large hand that held her firmly and powerfully was steady.
Zhou Qiao didn't move, because she was afraid that if she struggled, her tears would fall uncontrollably.
That would be so embarrassing, not elegant at all.
She didn't want to make herself look so miserable, like an abandoned woman.
Qin Feng took a deep breath and slowly said, "You've said so much, but you won't let me say a single word. That's just too unfair."
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Zhou Qiao let out a long breath, suppressed her emotions, and turned to look at him: "Okay, men and women are equal, I will give you the right to speak, but actually you don't have to say anything. It's a misunderstanding, no one has wronged anyone, and you don't need to feel guilty."
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow: "So magnanimous?"
Zhou Qiao: "?"
Otherwise, she has already said so much and acted quite appropriately, hasn't she?
Why does this person still look dissatisfied?
Seeing her glare at him, Qin Feng finally gave in and sighed, "You've said so much, it's all your own thoughts. Don't you really want to know what I think?"
