Holding the car door, Qin Ling got out of Yue Yue's silver-gray car with a warm smile on his face. Come, get in the car."
Both of them froze.
He, he, he, how could it be him? Yueyue's heart thumped after she recovered from her shock. Even if he didn't know that she had deliberately fallen and injured herself first and sacrificed herself to cover for him, he must have already known about the three lives she had killed with three super calm shots. Also, she had said Ranran in front of him in order to get rid of everyone's pursuit. Her performance in the conference room just now was completely different from usual. The violin that she had retrieved in time was not enough to describe it as a sudden failure. Also, her attitude towards Guan Yue was completely different…
Ugh! How could she not be suspected in front of this police elite who she had always avoided? Could she keep her secret?
These thoughts flashed through Yue Yue's mind as she bit her lips tightly.
"Let's go, don't just stand here." Seeing that she was still moving with a worried expression, Qin Ling smiled and walked over."Let's go back to the car first." His tone was relaxed and full of concern.
" Oh," Yue Yue couldn't help but respond.
"Yue Yue!" Seeing that she was about to be taken away from him, Guan Yue suddenly had a feeling that if he let her leave now, they would really have nothing to do with each other in this life. He reached out to pull her arm that was less bandaged.
'Xiaoyue' Qinling seemed to have unintentionally blocked his hand.""Let's go back to the team. It's still working hours.”His eyes were still the same, but his tone was no longer as gentle and warm as before."Let's talk about it in the future."
" I…" Guan Yue's mouth moved. He really couldn't find a reason to object. He could only watch helplessly as she got into the car with him. The small car elegantly turned around and drove away. No! He couldn't let go just like that! He had guarded her for so many years, and he wanted him to let go? Him! Do it! No! Arrived!
In the car, Qin Ling had a smile on his face, but his eyes were still looking ahead very seriously, as if he was really paying attention to the road conditions.
However, Yue Yue knew that this was definitely not the case. Her mind was spinning like a windmill that was speeding up, so fast that she could almost hear the sound of the wind.
Should he wait and see, scout the enemy's situation, or test the wind direction?
Well, it was better to test him first. Oh right, let's greet each other first. They hadn't greeted each other today.
" Director, hmm." What was she shouting about? " Today's weather is pretty good." She regretted it immediately after saying that. What was she supposed to call him?
Qin Ling laughed.
Aiya, how embarrassing." I haven't seen you for a few days ", the words that came out of her mouth only made it even more embarrassing. Yue Yue didn't have the courage to look up. What was all this? Did not sleeping for a night hurt her brain so much?
Qin Ling glanced at her and the smile on his face grew wider.
"Director, I…"
" Alright," Qin Ling smiled and patted her head,""Aren't you tired? Go to sleep."
As if her acupuncture points had been pressed, all of Yue Yue's fatigue surged up in an instant, rushing so much that she could not even hold her eyelids.
"Don't worry, go to sleep first. I'm here.”His broad and gentle voice sounded again, and then he added gently," Close your eyes.
For some reason, Yue Yue obediently closed her eyes, leaned against the back of the chair, and gradually fell asleep.
After an afternoon of shock and an entire night of mental and physical exhaustion, it was as if he could no longer open his eyelids. Even when she was carried out of the car, carried to bed, removed her shoes, and covered with a blanket, she did not fully wake up. Everything seemed to have happened in a blur, half asleep and half awake. In the end, she seemed to have heard him calling someone softly. Uncle, yes, she's with me, yes…
When she woke up, the sky was already dark. Looking at the dark night sky and the twinkling stars outside the window, Yue Yue blinked her eyes. Where was this? What a strange room. It was bigger than her bedroom in the Lu family's main residence, at least thirty square meters. The beige wallpaper had light and elegant dark patterns of the same color. The ivory furniture was arranged in an orderly manner around the room without losing its style. The dark gray muslin and curtains on both sides of the window were tied up neatly. The hard bed and blanket on her body were unusually comfortable and soft to the touch. There was also the faint sound of metal colliding... Eh? Where was this? Seeing that the door was ajar and slightly ajar, Miss Lu, who had not completely woken up due to the long period of mental and physical exhaustion, hugged the pillow in her arms and walked in the direction of the sound in a daze.
When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw this image.
The little girl with big eyes was sleeping with a red face. Her pink lips were half-closed and half-open. She was holding a pillow in her arms that were as white as lotus roots. She tilted her head and looked at him in a daze. Her eyes were full of curiosity.
"You're awake." Qin Ling's chiseled stone face was smiling so widely that flowers were about to bloom."Come" led her to the dining table and sat down before handing her a cup of warm water."Drink some water first. Wait for me. Dinner will be ready soon.”
After taking a few sips of water, a few dishes were served on the table. There were two stir-fried bamboo shoots and broccoli, as well as a few delicate-looking pickles and a basin of milky white soup.
He scooped a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her." Have some porridge first. It's late today, so eat something light." A few bamboo shoots fell on her plate.
His care, the warm lights in the room, the appropriate temperature around her, the dishes that he had carefully prepared for her, the warm water, the fragrant soup, everything felt like home. It had been a long time since she felt the true relaxed and warm feeling of home. Yue Yue was bewitched and obediently ate.
Qin Ling didn't say anything more. He ate while looking at him without leaving a trace. Only the smile on his lips never stopped.
"This soup isn't bad either. Try it." After Yueyue finished a small bowl of porridge, he scooped another bowl of soup." The carp was stewed for more than four hours. It's from Qinling Mountain." He made an exaggerated gulp and handed it to her teasingly.
" Yes." Yue Yue took it." Thank you!"”
He took a bite. It was indeed very fresh and had a faint sweetness. It should have been some tonic. The taste was not inferior to the soup she had tasted in her previous life.
" It's really delicious." She was not stingy with her praise.
"This one is honored."
"Ha!" Yueyue was amused by him. She didn't expect Mr. Qin to have such a funny side.
The simple yet exquisite dinner was quickly finished. After eating, Miss Lu began to blink and feel sleepy again.
" It's only one o'clock." Qin Ling noticed her discomfort."Go and sleep for a while more. I'll apply for leave for you tomorrow and have a good rest.”Then, he pointed at the door diagonally facing the small restaurant."That's my room. There's a private bathroom inside. I won't come out after I go in. There is a bathroom in your room, and your clothes are already in there.”
"Oh." Miss Lu suddenly blushed when she heard this."Then I'll go back. Also, goodbye.”
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she felt much more refreshed, but she was also more sleepy and tired. With the shyness of wearing the undergarments that a man bought for her, she stuck to the pillow and fell asleep again.
Just let her indulge in it once, for the sake of such gentleness.
In the guest room not far away, Qin Ling had insomnia for the first time.
It turned out that he could be so blissful just knowing that his beloved girl was sleeping in the same house. It turned out that just guarding a sleeping little person could make him sit for more than ten hours willingly. It turned out that he had really guarded her in his heart for so many years. It turned out that the little girl who had stunned him in the snow back then was actually so worth it.
You were so smart and cute when we first met. You were so delicate and unruly when we met by the water. You were so youthful when we first met on the playground that no one dared to look at you. You were so tenacious when you encountered difficulties. You sang sweetly and freely when you reported the performance. You were so afraid of death but still sacrificed yourself to save others. You were someone who could make someone as shrewd as Father Lu treat you as an equal with just two words. A person who could actually buy a violin from the Pan family in Hong Kong and send it to the country in just 24 hours…
You, who was clearly outstanding enough and had a superior family, but endured so many grievances and unwillingness to fulfill your mother's wish, was also such a dazzling and radiant you.
A naughty, cute, intelligent, and kind little person, the person he missed. Qin Ling knew that he couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he stood up and walked to the window to open it. The night breeze with the fragrance of flowers and plants instantly filled the room with a sweet fragrance.
Was it because of those three lives that he was forced to act so abnormally this time?
Qin Ling couldn't help but think of what Father Lu had once said about the reason why Yueyue had such a serious form of PDSD." It's very high. Under normal circumstances, she would die."”Also, she was only 13 years old when Father Lu told her about it. Was that why Mother Lu sent her to the police academy? So that she would have the ability to protect herself? Was she also accommodating her mother so that she wouldn't be worried and disappointed? Even if the price to pay was what he wished for? If it weren't for this incident, if it weren't for the three lives that she had to kill with her own hands, would she have decided to accommodate her marriage? What a cruel and hopeless life!
" Whoosh." Facing the moon on the horizon, Qin Ling let out a long breath.
Even if he tried his best, the person Yue Yue chose in the end would still not be him, but at least it had to be the person she loved, or at least the person she wanted.
It seemed that he could no longer stand by and watch. For example, what was going on with her PDSD, her obedience to Mother Lu, and that Ranran?
