Chapter 645 Forever Only You
Zhou Qiao said sullenly, "What else can you think? Shen Li said you've been carrying that cicada for so many years, you must still be thinking about the girl who helped you, right? Now that you know you've mistaken her for someone else, are you going to keep making the same mistake?"
Qin Feng retorted, "Why not?"
Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment, then looked into his eyes: "What do you mean?"
Qin Feng looked back, his expression serious: "No, it's not about continuing down the wrong path, but about us continuing to be happy together."
After saying that, he put his hand on her shoulder, leaned down slightly to get closer to her, tilted his head, and said in a low voice, "Qiaoqiao, give me a chance to listen to my story, okay?"
Zhou Qiao instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she met his deep black eyes and perfectly handsome face, her heart suddenly softened, and she nodded as if possessed.
Qin Feng smiled with satisfaction; the charm trick had indeed worked.
Zhou Qiao once said that he looked best when he tilted his head. As expected, his trump card worked. He composed himself and said slowly, "I never had any expectations for relationships, nor did I care much about them. If I had to say who left a mark on my heart, it would definitely be the girl who gave me this cicada back then."
“I was eight years old when I left the Qin family and wandered to Jiangcheng alone. I was chased and beaten by a group of children who were older than me. It was that little girl who helped me and gave me hope for life.”
He raised the cicada in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Without her, there would be no me. I wouldn't have persevered to the point where I could stand on my own. So I have memories and gratitude for her."
Zhou Qiao lowered her head and pursed her lips, remaining silent, but in her heart she gradually came to understand the significance that girl had to Qin Feng in his childhood.
When someone helps you during your most difficult time, that kindness is truly unforgettable.
But the more she understood, the more heartbroken she felt.
Why did he tell her all this? Was it so she wouldn't hold a grudge against him?
But she had already said she wouldn't complain about him anymore.
That person is really annoying.
Looking at her expression, Qin Feng felt a slight pang of sadness, but mostly a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).
He took her hand and said earnestly, "Qiaoqiao, I used to think this was love, but after meeting you, I realized that I have memories and gratitude for her, but no love."
Zhou Qiao was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at him.
Qin Feng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his grip on her hand tightened unconsciously: "I... I'm telling the truth. Although I mistook you for the owner of this cicada, it was a beautiful misunderstanding, the reason we met. In the days I've spent with you, I've always been unconsciously drawn to your every smile and gesture."
Qin Feng was clearly saying this for the first time, and was somewhat nervous: "When you're happy, I'm happy with you; when you're unhappy, I rack my brains trying to make you happy; when you get close to other people of the opposite sex, I get jealous; when you go out with your friends, I worry about whether you're in danger after dark, and I can't concentrate on anything..."
"Qiaoqiao, tell me, is this love?" His eyes were red, and his gaze was so sincere that Zhou Qiao almost wanted to cry.
She finally couldn't hold back anymore, and huge tears rolled down her cheeks.
Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, a chaotic jumble of emotions, and for a moment her voice choked with emotion: "How would I know if you ask me? Sweet talk."
"It was clearly a genuine expression of emotion."
"So you know you've mistaken me for someone else, but you don't want to break up, is that right?"
Qin Feng sighed and pulled her into his arms: "I never thought about breaking up, and I never want to hear those two words again."
Zhou Qiao burst into tears in his arms, hugging him tightly: "You only like me, right?"
"Yes, only you, and always only you." Qin Feng slowly exhaled and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you, Qiaoqiao. I was afraid that you would be sad if you knew, and that you would misunderstand me. That's why I didn't want to tell you. Can you forgive me? I promise I will never lie to you again. I will report everything, no matter how small."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Qiao cried even harder.
She choked back tears, saying, "Should I... should I forgive you? Am I too easily appeased? Waaah~"
Qin Feng: "..."
"If I forgive you so easily, will I be unable to hold onto you in the future? Waaah~"
Qin Feng: "..."
He pulled the person tightly into his chest and warned in a low voice, "Read less random books in the future!"
All the bitterness and spiciness evaporated with the tears at this moment, leaving only a heart full of sweetness for the future.
...
The Tang family residence.
In the master bedroom, the air was filled with the calming scent of incense, and Wen Luoyun was half-undressed, massaging the acupoints on Tang Zhi's head.
Something was hanging on her body, and it made a crisp, melodious sound as she moved.
Tang Zhi's expression relaxed upon hearing this, but Wen Luoyun felt extremely humiliated.
The Qin family's jade pendant has still not been found, and Tang Zhi's mood has become increasingly irritable lately. His sexual activities in bed have become more and more outrageous and excessive.
If she hadn't been skilled in pharmacology and had carefully prepared her body beforehand, she would probably still be bedridden and unable to get up.
As she massaged Tang Zhi, she wished she could stab him to death with a needle.
However, this thought only flashed through her mind. Even if she succeeded, she would still face punishment.
It's not worth trading one life for another.
Her life is far more precious than these people's.
Everything needs to be done gradually.
"The housekeeper said you've been going out a lot lately?"
As Wen Luoyun was pondering this, she suddenly heard Tang Zhi speak.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly suppressed the hatred in her eyes, putting on a docile and obedient appearance, and said gently, "I'm just worried because I haven't gotten the Qin family's jade pendant yet, and I'm not at ease, so I want to go out and look for ways to get back into the Shadow Gate."
"Have you found out any leads?" Tang Zhi asked.
Wen Luoyun pursed her lips: "Not yet. Ever since Qianliu left, the Shadow Gate has been guarded like an iron barrel, making it even harder to get in. Why don't we go to the Qin family again to look for it? What if the jade pendant has ended up in the Qin family again?"
Tang Zhi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will take care of this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler came in to report: "Master Tang, Qin Yiyi from the Qin family has come to visit. She says she wants to see you and has something important to discuss."
"Qin Yiyi?" Tang Zhi frowned. "Qin Cheng's youngest daughter?"
The butler nodded: "Exactly."
What is she doing here?
"She didn't say anything, only that she absolutely had to see Master Tang today. I noticed she was carrying a small box, so I asked her about it, and she said it was a gift for you, Master Tang," the butler said respectfully.
"A greeting gift, huh, interesting." Tang Zhi chuckled and stood up. "Since we're here, let's meet her and see what she's up to."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Wen Luoyun quickly straightened her clothes: "Master Tang, then I..."
Tang Zhi glanced at her: "Change your clothes and come over too."
