Qi Yan was stunned.

I have to say that Shen Rao does have a good-looking appearance. Even if the Shen Group goes bankrupt, he can still make a good living with this face.

Her thoughts drifted away, and when she came to her senses, Shen Rao had already stood up and gone to the kitchen.

Since Qi Yan doesn’t usually use the kitchen, there’s a layer of dust inside, but that’s not a big deal.

The most important thing is that, let alone kitchen utensils, there is not even a chopstick here. It is so empty.

Shen Rao came out silently, fearing that nothing could be heated up.

"Wait a minute, let's go to the convenience store. Your place is too empty."

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, Qi Yan understood what he meant.

But there was no need, she couldn't cook.

"No, I'm full too. Go away and don't come again. I won't open the door next time."

Qi Yan stood up and added a sentence as if he suddenly thought of something.

"You don't have to worry about me running away from your debt. I will pay you back, but there is still a sense of boundary between debt and repayment."

Shen Rao pretended not to hear anything and fiddled with the wind chimes left by the landlord. The clear and melodious sounds of the wind chimes, along with the low and hoarse voice, echoed in the room.

"You said everything was fake three years ago, but it's true that you can't cook. Qi Yan, I'm not that superficial. I like you no matter you're pretending or the real you."

Qi Yan pinched her fingers, her heart trembling uncontrollably, but only for a moment.

"Maybe if you really saw the real me, you wouldn't think so."

"Shen Rao, we are not from the same world."

At this time, the sky outside darkened. Qi Yan stood in the depths, and the two of them were at the two ends of the boundary between light and darkness.

Seeing the indifference in her eyes, Shen Rao felt a little annoyed.

"You keep pushing me away. How can I understand? You should give me a chance to choose instead of sentencing me to death!"

Qi Yan really felt tired. When would this meaningless quarrel end?

At this moment, there was a sudden rumble of thunder outside the window, and heavy rain suddenly poured down, hitting the windows wildly and violently, and the trees danced wildly with the wind and rain.

The dull thunderstorm struck the hearts of the two men, and the atmosphere fell into a cold stalemate.

Qi Yan didn't say anything and started checking the weather forecast.

It looks like the rain will continue until tomorrow.

The sky outside was gloomy and it was a little hard to see inside the room. Qi Yan went to turn on the light switch and found that the power was out.

There were problems with the electrical wires here, so power outages were commonplace. Moreover, it was raining so heavily now, so Qi Yan was not surprised that there was a power outage.

She went to look for a candle, and suddenly there was a loud thunder accompanied by lightning. The sound was deafening, and it was obviously very close to here.

Shen Rao suddenly hurriedly hugged Qi Yan.

She frowned and tried to break free, but just as she raised her hand she realized something was wrong. Shen Rao's whole body stiffened, his body temperature dropped, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Qi Yan relied on the light of lightning to see his face clearly.

His face was pale, his upper teeth were biting his lips so hard that they were almost bleeding, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. His facial features, which were originally very aggressive, were trying their best to endure, revealing a sense of fragility.

Suddenly an idea struck her.

I forgot, Shen Rao is afraid of thunder.

Qi Yan sighed and let him hold her. In this position, she struggled to find the candle.

They sat on the sofa, with Shen Rao sitting in her arms, face to face.

The tall man, about 1.8 meters tall, lowered his back, hugged Qi Yan's fair and slender neck, buried his head, and his weak but warm breath sprayed from time to time.

It made her feel itchy, but she said nothing, just ran one hand along his back soothingly and stroked his hair with the other.

The sound, which was usually quiet, became light and shallow at this moment.

"Don't be afraid."

"It's okay. I'm there."

The weak warm yellow candlelight could only barely illuminate the two of them. The simple house also had a faint musty smell, and the power would even go out when it rained.

He would never set foot in such a place in his life before, but this was the time when Shen Rao felt most at ease in the past three years.

He greedily immersed himself in Qi Yan's unique scent, secretly hoping that this moment could be frozen forever.

Qi Yan noticed that the person in her arms was breathing steadily and was already fast asleep. She looked up at the ceiling in a daze.

She couldn't let go of someone who was facing fear, so even if she didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Rao anymore, she couldn't bear to do it.

Obviously, I just need to drive him out, but on a rainy day like this...

Qi Yan's gaze shifted to the window, and a flash of lightning appeared, reflecting her eyes as calm as dead water.

The next day, Shen Rao woke up in the bedroom and Qi Yan was not around.

The rain outside had stopped and the sun was shining brightly, as if last night's storm and comfort were all just a dream.

When I came out of the bedroom, there was no one in the living room, just a sticky note on the door.

Shen Rao now feels a little anxious when he sees the note.

The handwriting is neat and elegant, different from the handwriting on the note three years ago, and it doesn't look like it was written by the same person.

There is only one sentence above.

"Leave when you wake up. I'm going out to deliver food. Don't bother me anymore."

Shen Rao pursed his dry lips, feeling endless loneliness as if he had just woken up from a beautiful dream.

……

It was noon and the sky was sunny.

Qi Yan was standing in front of a detached villa with a takeaway in his hand. The villa in front of him was small and exquisite. There was a beautiful woman watering flowers in the garden in front of the courtyard.

She was wearing a slim white dress, had a good figure, and exuded a mature charm.

Qi Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances before ringing the doorbell.

The door opened and a person came out of the house.

"Thanks……"

When the man saw Qi Yan's face clearly, his facial expression fluctuated slightly, but then turned into mature surprise in an instant.

He laughed. It was the ordinary-looking man who appeared at Zuishengju that night.

At this time, he was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which added a touch of elegance to his casual appearance.

"What a coincidence, are you delivering takeout in this area?"

"No, a rider was in an accident and I happened to be passing by and took over."

"Is that person okay?"

"He has been taken away to the hospital, saying he only had scratches."

"You really need to be careful. Be careful on the road."

"Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it."

The two of them chatted briefly, attracting the attention of the woman who was watering plants in the yard.

"Old Fan, what are you doing?"

"This is my wife," he introduced her to Qi Yan, then turned and looked at the woman with a smile, "Come and take a look?"

When the woman came over, he introduced her, "This is the girl I told you about before, the one I had high hopes for."

The woman was a little surprised when she saw Qi Yan's face. Most of her face was blocked by the helmet. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell how beautiful she was.

Thinking of what Fan He had mentioned before, Zhao Zhi felt distressed and grabbed Qi Yan's hand without saying a word.

"I've suffered. These years must have been difficult."

Qi Yan felt puzzled, but still hung his head, as if he didn't know what to do with all this concern.

Seeing her like this made him feel even more sad, so he asked Fan He to go into the house and get two bottles of mineral water and hand them to her.

"I won't disturb you from working now. Be careful on the road and stay safe."

Qi Yan nodded and declined the water. After getting on the bike, his eyes stayed on the house for a few seconds.

After the people left, Zhao Zhi pulled Fan He to urge him.

"Look how hard it is for this little girl. Give her more tips on the platform."

He smiled and agreed: "Okay, okay, don't worry."
