Lin Qiyuan held his hand tightly. His beautiful nails had already fallen into his palm, and his hands had turned pale. “Alright then, but I will visit you often. You are not allowed to keep me from entering. Do you understand?” Lin Qiyuan said gently, but his hand gripped even harder, as if he couldn’t live without it.

‘”No,” An Zixi said, “I’ll come and see you. You’re so busy. You must be very tired when you get home. Besides, it’s not safe to drive. Besides, you’re still so tired. I’ll come and see you.” An Zixi lowered his eyebrows.

“Alright, then you have to come here often.” Lin Qiyuan smiled and said to An Zixi with a doting tone.

“Yes, there’s still a long way to go to France. I’ll take a nap first. Remember to call me when you get there.” With that, An Zixi closed his eyes and put on his blindfold.

“Yes, sleep well.” Lin Qiyuan’s eyes darkened. He still didn’t let go of his hand, as if he could only feel An Zixi’s pain.

Lin Qiyuan looked at An Zixi, who was asleep. He knew that if An Zixi hadn’t requested it, Su Wanyun wouldn’t have prepared these for her. Lin Qiyuan knew that although An Zixi had agreed to be with him, she did not put her heart completely on him. Lin Qiyuan even felt that An Zixi might have fallen in love with Tang Jin Chen, but it was possible that An Zi Xi did not realize it.

At home, Tang Yuxin returned home and saw Tang Jin Chen.

“Brother.” Tang Yu Xin shouted. “You’re back so early today?”

“Yeah, I’m fine recently. I’ve been busy for too long. It’s been a long time since I’ve accompanied my parents and you for dinner.” Tang Jin Chen said with a smile.

“Really? Did you specially rush back to accompany us to dinner?” Tang Yu Xin thought of what happened just now. She felt that she should tell Tang Jin Chen and let him know. She was terrifying but did not know how to speak. Tang Yuxin felt that she and Li Qing felt a little pity for each other. Although she hoped that her brother would be happy, seeing that Li Qing, who was in the same situation as her, did not get happiness made her feel like she would see her in the future. Tang Yu was unwilling.

Tang Jin Chen smiled and rubbed Tang Yu Xin’s head. “Is that true? Am I lying to you?”

“Aiyo, stop rubbing. It’s all messed up.” Tang Yu Xin dodged Tang Jin Chen’s hand and hurriedly ran upstairs. “Really, I’m not a child anymore. I always rub my head.”

“Haha.” Tang Jin Chen laughed. He was suddenly shocked and laughed. Ever since An Zixi left, he rarely smiled. In the past, he didn’t rub Tang Yuxin’s head much. Tang Jin Chen suddenly laughed again. Isn’t that so? After meeting An Zixi, a lot of things had become a little strange.

In France, Lin Qiyuan had a lot of things to do recently. He needed to lay a good foundation in France for his career, and at the same time, he needed to be able to live with An Zixi without any worries or financial pressure in the future.

“Qiyuan, are you there?” An Zixi’s crisp voice came from outside the door.

Lin Qiyuan was in the house. He was lying on the sofa in the living room as if he had fallen asleep. But just as An Zixi’s voice sounded, Lin Qiyuan opened his eyes and closed them again. An Zixi had the keys to the villa. Lin Qiyuan didn’t want to be so unfamiliar with An Zixi. Lin Qiyuan wanted An Zixi to open the door himself, and he wanted An Zixi to treat this place as his own home, not as a guest who needed his master to open the door!

After ringing the doorbell for a while, An Zixi saw that no one opened the door. “Hasn’t he returned yet? Didn’t he say that he was almost home?” An Zixi took out the key, “Why is it later than me?” An Zixi muttered as he entered.

“Is there really no one?” An Zixi looked at the living room.

Lin Qiyuan was nestled in the sofa, and he couldn’t see anyone from the back. Lin Qiyuan wanted to wait for An Zixi to discover him.

An Zixi took the dishes in his hands to the kitchen and put them away. Then, he walked to the living room. An Zixi planned to watch TV for a while and wait for Lin Qiyuan to come back.

“Ah,” An Zixi went to the sofa and saw Lin Qiyuan nest on the sofa. “Qi Yuan, you were home!” An Zixi patted her chest. She was truly frightened by Lin Qiyuan. Anyone who saw a person who originally thought he wasn’t around suddenly appear in front of her would be frightened!

An Zixi covered her mouth. In her eyes, Lin Qiyuan was asleep now. Lin Qiyuan did not open his closed eyes.

“I don’t know how to cover it. It’s really like a child.” An Zixi said. An Zixi turned around and went to Lin Qiyuan’s bedroom to get a blanket. An Zixi came to Lin Qiyuan’s side and bent down to cover Lin Qiyuan with the blanket. Just as An Zixi was about to get up and leave, Lin Qiyuan grabbed An Zixi’s hand and dragged her onto his body. An Zixi fell onto Lin Qiyuan without any precautions.

“Ah! Qi Yuan, you’re not asleep!” An Zixi struggled to remember, but Lin Qiyuan hugged him again.

“Sleep with me. I’m so tired.” Lin Qiyuan’s hoarse voice rang in An Zixi’s ears.

“Yes, good.” An Zixi stopped struggling. “Sleep well, I’ll accompany you.” An Zixi comforted Lin Qiyuan.

“Don’t leave, stay with me.” Lin Qiyuan increased the strength of his embrace of An Zixi.

“Yes, I’m not leaving.” An Zixi said.

…

By the time Lin Qiyuan woke up, it was already dark and the living room wasn’t lit. Lin Qiyuan couldn’t see the clock on the wall clearly, but Lin Qiyuan thought it was about seven or eight o’clock. Lin Qiyuan touched the blanket. When he woke up, An Zixi was no longer by his side. Lin Qiyuan wondered if An Zixi had left. Lin Qiyuan moved the corner of his mouth, then lifted the blanket and stood up. When Lin Qiyuan turned around and saw that the kitchen was still lit, he laughed happily.

“I wonder what Zi Xi did!” Lin Qiyuan’s heart ached. He knew that An Zixi didn’t want to stay here. But thinking of the dishes An Zixi made, Lin Qiyuan was happy again. An Zixi didn’t completely ignore him, did he? Isn’t this because he’s worried that he hasn’t eaten yet?

Lin Qiyuan walked into the dining room but suddenly turned around and left. He went to the sofa and took the blanket to the kitchen. It turned out that Lin Qiyuan saw An Zixi sleeping on the dining table at the door. There are a few steaming home-cooked dishes on the table. Just as Lin Qiyuan was covering An Zixi with a blanket, An Zixi woke up.

“Huh? Qiyuan, you’re awake. Go wash your face and prepare to eat.” An Zixi rubbed his eyes and said.

“Alright, alright, alright. You can also get up. How long have you been lying on your stomach? I wonder if you can cover your clothes. What if you catch a cold?” Lin Qiyuan scolded gently.

“I didn’t sleep much either. I just fell asleep. Mm, it’s fine.” An Zixi saw Lin Qiyuan enter the bathroom and went into the kitchen herself. She planned to use a little water to flush her face.

“It looks delicious!” Lin Qiyuan pulled up the stool and sat down. “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten the food you cooked.” Lin Qiyuan picked up his chopsticks.

“Let alone you, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten my own dishes!” An Zixi laughed.

“It’s still the same delicious!” Lin Qiyuan felt very happy now, very happy. This was the feeling of having someone with him, he thought. This was the feeling that was so sweet to the bottom of his heart!

…

“Zixi,” Lin Qiyuan said as he looked at An Zixi, who was sitting beside him. “Let’s stay here tonight!” Lin Qiyuan’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Qiyuan, it’s getting late. I have to go back. It’s not safe to drive at night.” An Zixi mercilessly refused.

“Don’t go back if it’s not safe,” Lin Qiyuan said excitedly. “Isn’t it good to stay here? You can stay in the guest room. I won’t force you.” Lin Qiyuan thought, as long as An Zixi was willing to stay here! He didn’t want that happiness to slip away so quickly.

“No, Qi Yuan, I have to go back. You still need to make a movie tomorrow. Go to bed early. I will drive carefully.” An Zixi pulled Lin Qiyuan’s hand, picked up his bag, and walked out.

“Wait, I’ll see you off.” Lin Qiyuan hurriedly said.

“No need, Qiyuan. You should rest early.” An Zixi left without turning back.

Lin Qiyuan looked at An Zixi who had left, and his heart was filled with pain. An Zixi still hadn’t completely accepted him. Lin Qiyuan even suspected that An Zixi didn’t love him at all.

Lin Qiyuan turned around and froze in place. He raised his hand in disbelief. He felt tears on his face. Lin Qiyuan didn’t expect him to cry. For so many years, apart from acting, Lin Qiyuan rarely cried. That was why he was so shocked.

“Zixi, I can’t do without you anymore, do you know?” Lin Qiyuan muttered to himself. “I didn’t expect that I would care so much about you. It’s not just a simple love. Without you, what should I do?” Lin Qiyuan suddenly felt a little cold. He leaned against the wall and squatted down, as if it wouldn’t be cold anymore.

An Zixi, who had already traveled a certain distance, felt uncomfortable in his heart at this moment.

“Sorry, Qiyuan.” An Zixi said painfully, “Wait for me, Qiyuan, when I forget Tang Jin Chen, I will definitely compensate you. At that time, I will definitely be at ease with you.”

“I’m sorry” An Zixi’s words of apology were blown away by the wind.

On the surface, An Zixi and Lin Qiyuan seemed to be together. They seemed to be happy and loving each other, but there were many hidden contradictions. Lin Qiyuan loved An Zixi very much. An Zixi also knew that Lin Qiyuan loved her. He loved her very much, but An Zixi did not know who she loved. Lin Qiyuan accompanied her and walked through many joys, sorrows, happiness, and sadness together. It was impossible to say that she wasn’t touched. However, An Zixi also discovered that her feelings towards Tang Jin Chen had unknowingly changed. In fact, An Zixi felt that she might have fallen in love with Tang Jin Chen. This was a little hard for her to accept, but she was helpless.

In the room, Tang Yu Xin walked uneasily. There were only four big words written on her face, “I’m very conflicted.”

She thought. Whether I should tell my brother about the recording or not. Tell him, will he find trouble with Li Qing? After all, Li Qing is still a friend of mine. If you don’t tell him. Then will he come find trouble with me if he finds out in the future? My brother and I worked hard to get back together. I don’t want to get into trouble again. Why would I listen to that recording? Why should I look for Li Qing? It’s all right now. What to do! What should I do? Thinking of this, Tang Yuxin became more and more annoyed. He rubbed his hair with his hand. He couldn’t help but shout in frustration.
