Small courtyard, pavilion.
Stone table, guqin.
White dress, woman.
The woman was playing the guqin. The clear and smooth sound of the guqin was like a flowing stream, refreshing the heart.
A cool breeze blew past, bringing with it the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
Her slender and fair fingers plucked the strings. As her fingers danced, whose heartstrings did the Shang String vibrate?
'Creak.'
The door in the distance was slowly pushed open.
In an instant, her white dress fluttered and the sound of the guqin surged. It was as if it was complementing the waterfall on the cliff, echoing for a long time.
But then, her movements suddenly slowed down. The sound of the guqin also became quiet and elegant, with a faint sadness, just like the osmanthus fragrance.
A series of light footsteps sounded. The woman did not look up and the person walked to her side.
"Sister, you're in a good mood …"
The person was a beautiful woman in a light yellow dress. Although she did not wear any makeup, her face was exquisite and impeccable.
The woman in white stopped and looked up with a faint smile. "Qinqing, why are you here?"
"I haven't come to visit you in a long time, so I brought you some good news today."
"Good news?"
"That person is back. He's looking for you everywhere. A few days ago, you even made a big news. Do you want to know …"
The woman in white was stunned for a moment, but she immediately came back to her senses.
She lowered her head and quickly said, "Don't say anymore. I don't want to hear it."
From her tone, she seemed to be unhappy.
The woman in the yellow dress called Qinqing was stunned when she saw this. She did not expect such a reaction.
Therefore, she bowed slightly and carefully asked, "Sister, don't you miss him?"
"Miss him? I gave everything to him, but he let me down. Why should I miss him? From the moment he left, I had already decided that I would never see him again in this lifetime! "
The woman in white seemed to get angrier the more she thought about it. Before the woman in the yellow dress could speak, she continued, "Qinqing, go back. I'm not in a good mood today. I want to be alone."
The woman in the yellow dress frowned. She wanted to see if there was anything strange about the woman in white.
However, the woman in white had her head slightly lowered, so no one could see the expression on her face.
After hesitating for a moment, the yellow-dressed woman smiled and said softly, "Alright then. Have a good rest, Big Sister. I'll leave first."
With that, she turned around and walked out the way she had come.
'Creak.'
The door closed again.
The woman in white finally raised her head and glanced at the door.
There was no trace of anger on her face, only indescribable confusion and sorrow.
She tilted her head to look at the guqin and lowered her eyes.
Suddenly, a crystal clear tear slowly slid down from the corner of her eye.
…
…
The next morning.
Lin Xuan had just entered the office when his phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Wang Lu.
"Xuanxuan, did you see the news yesterday? Was it Chen Xi's doing? That's awesome! '
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment before replying, "I'm not sure, but I think it's Chen Xi's doing. After all, he's been looking for Yingying."
"Definitely! I thought that Chen Xi hadn't done well in the past few years. I didn't expect him to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. He's really awesome. His WeChat Moments are exploding. I left a comment saying that Qin Ruoying is my classmate, but no one believes it. I'm so angry! "
Lin Xuan typed a paragraph, but after thinking for a while, she pressed the delete button and wrote again, "Where's Zhao Yuan? What's the situation now? "
Wang Lu seemed to be really free and replied immediately, "He's still in the hospital. However, according to Li Xiuwen, Zhao Yuan's family doesn't seem to want to pursue the matter. I'm not too sure about the specific situation."
"Don't pursue the matter?"
Lin Xuan sat in her seat and held her phone, thinking about something.
Wang Lu waited for a moment. Seeing that she didn't reply, she continued, "Xuanxuan, what's Chen Xi doing now? I heard that the Fucheng Building's advertisement doesn't seem to be available just because you have money. Chen Xi can book an entire night's advertisement. It shouldn't be easy, right? I think we should contact our old classmate more when we have time. One more friend means one more path … "
Lin Xuan's phone vibrated, waking her up from her chaotic thoughts.
"I only know that he seems to be at home taking care of the child recently. I don't know what he's doing specifically."
"I'm going to work. I'll talk later."
Two messages in a row.
After sending them, Lin Xuan sat at her desk and looked out the window thoughtfully.
Her office was in a very good location. It was located at the corner of the 23rd floor. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, one could overlook the entire Dianjiang River and Zhongshan Road.
…
Back to last night.
Not long after Qin Ruoying's name lit up, Lin Xuan had already arrived at the Fucheng Building.
She raised her head and looked at the dazzling LED lights, carefully reading every word on it.
Although she wasn't sure if this was Chen Xi's doing, Lin Xuan had already subconsciously thought that only Chen Xi would do such a thing.
Some things really touched people's hearts.
So even if the person involved wasn't herself, and she wasn't even sure if the protagonist of the advertisement was Chen Xi and Qin Ruoying, Lin Xuan couldn't help but be moved to tears.
On the other side of the Dianjiang River.
Chen Xi sat in the chair for several hours.
Suddenly, a series of urgent ringing sounds rang out, waking him up from his chaotic thoughts.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Aunt Zhang.
Chen Xi then noticed that it was already nine o 'clock in the evening.
And he had been sitting here for six or seven hours.
Because he was so immersed in his thoughts, he forgot to tell Aunt Zhang in the morning that he was going home for dinner.
"Hello? Aunt Zhang? "
Chen Xi quickly answered the phone.
But it wasn't Aunt Zhang's voice that came from the other end of the phone, but the little girl's loud voice, "Papa! When are you coming home? "
As soon as he heard his daughter's sweet voice, Chen Xi immediately smiled and replied, "Soon. Papa is off work and will be home soon."
"Then I'll wait for you at home. Papa, hurry up!"
"Okay!"
"Papa, run!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"Horse, run! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! "The little girl played with Chen Xi on the phone.
So, Chen Xi immediately pretended to be a Horse and responded on the other end of the phone, "Neigh, neigh, neigh …"
The little girl held the phone and giggled happily. But at this time, Aunt Zhang grabbed the phone and told Chen Xi, "Don't listen to this silly child. Chen Xi, watch the road when you come back and be careful. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go heat up the food for you now. It should be ready when you come back … "
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt Zhang."
"Don't be so polite. Be careful on the road. Don't worry, we'll wait for you."
