Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

"Why are you going to Qingming?"

"Wu Linxi is in Qingming. I'll go find her."

"Won't she be back from her business trip in a few days?"

"I have something to do and need to see her." Qi Xiangtian couldn't explain so much on the phone, so he could only make it short.

"It feels like a long time since we last met - is it that annoying?" Zhang Lang said with a smile.

"Remember to be online for the 5 o'clock video conference. I can't make it because I'm driving."

"It's almost 200 kilometers to Qingming. It takes more than two hours to drive. Please be careful on the road."

"it is good."

Qingming is a county town that is rich in tea and also a famous scenic spot in the area. The scenery along the highway is very beautiful, and Qi Xiangtian took a quick glance at it.

The journey was smooth and we reached Qingming in less than two hours at a speed of 120 km/h.

Qi Xiangtian looked at the time displayed on the dashboard. It was already six o'clock in the evening. It was dark but the weather was good. The sunset in late autumn was very colorful. In the blink of an eye, it sank below the mountain, reflecting the red sky.

Qi Xiangtian found the hotel where Wu Linxi was staying according to the address she left for sending the camera.

Room 508, Qi Xiangtian took the elevator directly to the fifth floor.

When he reached the front of the house, he rang the doorbell.

After pressing the button several times, no one responded. It was over. It seemed like his efforts were in vain. The impulse that had been accumulating since he walked home in the afternoon collapsed all at once.

Looking at the time, it was probably time to go out for dinner. He was unfamiliar with the place and Wu Linxi didn't answer the phone, so he didn't know where to find her.

Standing at the door of the room, I suddenly felt confused and helpless.

The door of room 508 opened in despair. A voice came with the door opening: "Sister Rong, I left you a message. I took a shower and won't go out for dinner."

Wu Linxi appeared at the door of the room. She was wearing pajamas and her hair was wrapped in a towel.

Seeing Qi Xiangtian standing at the door, he was stunned with his mouth open.

Qi Xiangtian rushed forward and hugged Wu Linxi tightly in his arms, saying excitedly: "Fortunately, you are here!"

"Why are you here?" Wu Linxi hadn't come to her senses yet. She was stunned in Qi Xiangtian's arms. The towel wrapped around her wet hair fell to the ground, and water droplets on her hair began to drip down.

Qi Xiangtian then let go of Wu Linxi. He turned around and closed the door, helped her pick up the towel that had fallen on the floor, stood behind her, gently rubbed her wet hair with the towel, and said carefully: "I must come and clarify the misunderstanding at noon with you in person."

"Did you drive here?" Wu Linxi didn't mention what happened at noon. The moment he held her in his arms, she had temporarily forgotten the unpleasantness of noon.

"Well, I drove for two hours and you didn't answer my call," Qi Xiangtian was like a child who had made a mistake, just rubbing her wet hair seriously, "Fortunately, you are not on a business trip to Beijing or Shanghai."

Wu Linxi couldn't help but look back to try to see him, "Didn't you have dinner?"

"I can't have the mood to eat without you." Qi Xiangtian said seriously, but Wu Linxi's eyes suddenly turned red. She suddenly turned around and hugged Qi Xiangtian: "I won't answer your call, you can leave a message on WeChat. Why did you run so far? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

Qi Xiangtian hugged Wu Linxi tightly in his arms, "I'm sorry, I made you misunderstand."

"Actually, I heard your explanation on the phone." Wu Linxi leaned on his shoulder and said, "It's just that I feel aggrieved in my heart. On the anniversary of your mother's death, Song Qiaoran actually went to your house and had dinner with you—"

"I didn't know about my father's arrangements in advance. If I had known, I would not have gone back," said Qi Xiangtian.

"You saved her, she's grateful to you, I can understand that. But she likes you, and she's trying every means to pursue you. She's your partner, so it's unavoidable that you meet. Now, she's also your father's neighbor, the right time, the right place, and the right people..." Wu Linxi felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, "What if, one day, you think she's good again, you have a good impression of her again, you like her again..."

Qi Xiangtian lowered his head and kissed her mouth as she continued to talk, gently, kissing her to and fro, with his apology and longing.

After a long while, he looked at her and said, "I have thought a lot along the way, Lin Xi. If you don't mind my shortcomings and my family, let's get married. I hope we won't have any more misunderstandings and there won't be any third parties standing in the way."

"What are you talking about?" Wu Linxi looked at him blankly, with tears still in the corners of her eyes.

"I left in a hurry today, but please believe that this is the decision I made after careful consideration." Qi Xiangtian wiped her tears, "I rushed here just to ask for your opinion. If you agree, when you return to Lincheng after your business trip, I will go to your home to formally visit your parents and propose to you."

"This..." Wu Linxi pushed Qi Xiangtian away and walked to the window, as if she had to distance herself from him to have room for thinking. She habitually rubbed her fingers and muttered, "I've only known you for half a year, and my parents don't know that I'm in a relationship yet. I'm not mentally prepared yet..."

Qi Xiangtian looked at her back, silently waiting for her response.
