What should I do if I continued the romance with Lily?

On her birthday, the birthday star was the biggest, besides, Qiao Yu would never reject Lin Qing.

She obediently took out a stick of incense and fireworks and handed it to Lin Qing, and she took out one and lit it herself.The two were relatively speechless, watching the tiny flames bloom and fall in the night.

"Thank you for the fireworks."

"……Um."

Facing Lin Qing's thoughtless thank you, Qiao Yu knew that Cong Ye must have failed to keep the secret.At this time? It would be useless to say anything more, so I could only keep my mouth shut and take advantage of the seaside night to hide some cool thoughts.

"Qiao Yu - I'm about to pack up and go back -"

The surrounding fireworks gradually came to an end, and there was a figure on the beach waving at them, and the voice was Cong Ye.Qiao Yu also waved her hand in response.

So everyone started to clean up the mess. It was very dark on the beach without fireworks, so the car lights were turned on.

After tidying up her area, Qiao Yu stood on the beach, looking at the sea level, and there was no movement for a long time.

How bright the lights are, safe, secure, and won't go out.

In her mind, however, she frequently thought of that dazzling firework that lit up for a moment, for a moment of dazzling and heroic fireworks that even cost her life.

In the end, she too? I don't know why Lin Qing suddenly came to her just now. She was supposed to be just the background board for the beachside conversation between the hero and heroine, but she followed Lin Qing's movements that shouldn't be on the stage.

If the world is changing without anyone knowing, and everything she does is useless, then what should she do.

Qiao Yu finally turned his head as if he had looked deeply at the surface of the sea.

After driving back to the hotel, a sumptuous dinner awaited them.

Compared with the big scene full of people at her birthday party, Qiao Yu preferred this kind of small-scale gathering.Everyone's high emotions due to the fireworks just now have not subsided, and the atmosphere of the birthday party is in full swing.In the middle of the meal, Qiao Yu was tricked by her unscrupulous father into drinking a glass of sake, coughing a lot.

"Well, it seems that Yuyu doesn't like this kind, so try this one, it's sweet!"

Qiao Yu was dizzy, lost her vigilance in doubt, and drank another glass.

This time? Father Qiao didn't lie to her, it was indeed sweet wine.Qiao Yu smacked and smacked, feeling that the taste was not bad.

Wait? By the time Lin Qing realized something was wrong, both father and daughter were already drunk.

Qiao's mother was helplessly grabbing Qiao's father's ear and scolding him, but Qiao's father was giggling.Qiao Yu propped her head on the table with drunken eyes, and when she saw Lin Qing approaching worriedly, she squinted her eyes and looked over.

"What's wrong……?"

Her voice was soft, more languid than usual, with long endings, bright eyes, like an innocent puppy.

"You asked me what's wrong..." Lin Qing couldn't laugh or cry, "Before I drank an alcoholic drink and got drunk, this time I dare to drink directly."

Lin Qing smiled at her, but his hands were not idle. He took a hot towel and gently wiped Qiao Yu's face.

"……Well."

Qiao Yu raised her head obediently to cooperate with her, and flattened her mouth, as if she was still not convinced.

"Because I... don't have a long memory."

In the end, the words were honestly scolding herself, Lin Qing was amused by her, and asked softly.

"I haven't cut the cake yet, should a drunk with a short memory still want to eat the cake?"

"What to eat, what to eat."

Qiao Yu became anxious all of a sudden, and propped herself up to grab Lin Qing's hand, but she didn't know the distance, and moved directly in front of Lin Qing.Her light-colored pupils were covered with a hazy layer of fog, and she tried her best to speak clearly.

"Qingqing's birthday cake, I want to eat it."

"……Know it."

Lin Qing blushed a little at this sudden approach, but fortunately, Qiao Yu, who got an affirmative answer, leaned to the side in satisfaction and did not continue to approach.

"Qingqing, leave her alone." After Qiao's mother tidied up Qiao's father, she rolled up her sleeves and turned to her drunken daughter, "How can a birthday star worry about this drunk cat? Just throw her in the house and sleep. .Hey, this? The child is really..."

"nothing."

Seeing that Qiao's mother was about to pick up Qiao Yu who was humming, Lin Qing hurriedly stopped her.

"Qiao Yu just said that she wants to eat cake. I'll just send her back after eating."

Qiao's mother shy away a few times in embarrassment, and Lin Qing just said it's no trouble. Seeing Lin Qing's persistence, Qiao's mother felt relieved, and sighed that the relationship between the two of you is really good. It is thanks to you? This good friend.

Lin Qingxin said? I am not only a good friend to her, but I still smile politely as usual.

After drinking three rounds at the banquet, Mama Lin served the birthday cake.Lin Qing clasped his hands upright and made a wish, then blew out the candles and shared the cake for everyone.

"What wish did Qingqing make?"

Qiao Yu was drunk this time, and the wine tasted very good. She ate the cake obediently when it was served in front of her. It was very worry-free except that her hands were unsteady and her mouth was covered with cream.

At this time, the banquet came to an end, and the adults had all drank some alcohol, each in their own drunken state.Cong Ye, who was also drunk, fell asleep on the table.

Lin Qing, who had only a drop of wine left, was the most sober person at the table. She looked at Qiao Yu, who was devoting herself to eating the cake and didn't wait for her to answer, who seemed to have forgotten after finishing speaking. She suddenly reached out to wipe the cream from the corner of her lips, retracted As if nothing had happened, he poked out the tip of his tongue and licked it.

"……secret."

Probably because of the smell of alcohol, Lin Qing thought.

She also seemed a little drunk.

After dinner, Lin Qing took Qiao Yu back to Qiao Yu's room.

Maybe it's the second time drinking and exercising. Qiao Yu is in better shape than last time. She didn't rush or hug anyone. She could even sit on the bed and look up at Lin Qing, her big beautiful eyes blinking docilely. with.

"Is there any discomfort?"

Lin Qing sat beside her and asked her softly. Seeing Qiao Yu tilt her head and think for a while, she shook her head honestly.

This appearance always gave Lin Qing the feeling that she was seducing an ignorant girl. She silently glanced at the bed and decided not to mention this matter.

... There's no other way, Qiao Yu is drunk, and if she doesn't accompany her at night, what if Qiao Yu wakes up and feels uncomfortable?

Lin Qing felt that the reason was reasonable, but she still felt a little guilty.

She first put this personal matter aside, and turned the topic to her birthday.

"You? Did you forget something?"

Lin Qing smiled and raised an eyebrow at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu was confused, and thought about Lin Qing's words seriously. Lin Qing looked at her as if she didn't have enough brains, so she didn't bully her too much, and said frankly: "My birthday present."

"Ah, yes, a present."

Qiao Yu suddenly realized, patted his forehead in frustration, stood up and walked to the table in the room.

"I'm going on a trip? I'm getting ready, here—"

She opened the drawer, took out a rectangular gift box, happily turned around and walked towards Lin Qing, but a nervous system voice suddenly sounded in her head.

"No, host! Not this one!"

"……Um……?"

Qiao Yu's sluggish mind couldn't immediately comprehend its meaning, frowning and stopped halfway.Did Lin Qing stop when she saw her? He didn't think it was strange, and walked towards her by himself.

"Can I open it now?"

She took the long box from the bewildered Qiao Yu and looked at Qiao Yu questioningly.

"Ah, speaking of which, you chose Cong Ye's gift for him, right? That necklace is very beautiful, I really like it—"

"!"

Qiao Yu woke up suddenly, snatched back the gift from Lin Qing's hand, and put her hands behind her back.

A layer of sweat broke out on the back of her neck, and Jiu Jin'er was sobered up by the almost oolong.

"Sorry, this one is not, I took it wrong."

She explained to the bewildered Lin Qing incoherently, and hurriedly retreated? She took out another exquisite small box from the drawer and handed it to Lin Qing.

"...It's this, this? This is my gift."

"Happy birthday, can you open it now? It's okay."

Qiao Yu calmed down a bit, wondering if he could get away with it, and lowered his head after handing over the gift.

Lin Qing was puzzled, looked at the gift in her hand, and glanced calmly at the long box behind Qiao Yu.His eyes flickered slightly, and he opened the box in his hand first.

"It's earrings."

Inside the box lay a pair of small stud earrings, which looked expensive.

"Well, I saw it when I accompanied Congye to pick out gifts, and it should match the necklace he gave."

Qiao Yu licked her lips, feeling a little dry.

"I may not have a chance to wear it now, but when I can wear it in the future... I think it must be very suitable for you."

"Well, it's beautiful, thank you."

Lin Qing smiled, and just when Qiao Yu thought he had passed the difficulty, she heard Lin Qing's voice again.

"You? Say you saw this when you accompanied Cong Ye to pick out gifts?"

She closed the box with a snap, raised her doubtful eyes and looked at Qiao Yu.

"...But I remember, you? Just said that—you? Prepared before you came to travel?"

Lin Qing's gaze slowly fell on the corner of the box exposed behind Qiao Yu's back, puzzled and confused, he asked with eyebrows drawn.

"Which sentence is correct? Why did you take the wrong gift? Qiao Yu?"

"..."

Which sentence is correct.

Qiao Yu clenched the long box in her hand, feeling bitter in her heart.

It was all because she drank and forgot things that led to the current situation.Today is Lin Qing's birthday, how can she make Lin Qing unhappy?

But can she explain it?How can explain?How to explain?

Thousands of excuses flashed through her mind, but none of them could be said.From the moment she promised Lin Qing that she would not lie to her, it was doomed that she would not be able to speak about many things.

...Maybe it's not that she can't speak, it's just that she doesn't want to say it.

There was a long silence in the room.

In the silence, Qiao Yu didn't dare to look at Lin Qing's expression, and unconsciously rubbed the seam of the box in his hand.

Before she could react, the box popped open.

The contents of the box fell to the ground with a snap, and Qiao Yu turned around in panic and quickly picked it up, but it couldn't be faster than Lin Qing's eyes.

"necklace?"

Lin Qing didn't let her go, and rushed forward to hold Qiao Yu's hand that picked up the contents, forcing her to open her palm.

Sure enough, it was the same as what she had seen just now, it was a bright and delicate necklace with two interlocking rings.

She took it over and looked at it carefully, and one of the rings was clearly engraved with 【LQ】.

Lin Qing watched indifferently, and slowly tightened his hands.

"...So, you? Are there other friends in Japan whose initials are LQ?"

Her voice is peaceful, like water flowing in the dark night.

"..."

Qiao Yu just lowered her head and refused to look at her, so Lin Qing told her everything.

"Why did you prepare a gift but change it temporarily?"

"Why you? After you chose the necklace yourself, you went to choose the same gift for Cong Ye?"

"...Why did you ask Cong Ye to tell me that it was you who wanted to set off the fireworks?"

The accumulated doubts hit Qiao Yu so heavily that she was helpless.

why?

When Cong Ye suddenly chose a necklace in the jewelry store that day, she also wanted to ask why.

"Me too? I want to give Lin Qing a necklace, so you can choose something else."It's very easy to say this, and Qiao Yu also believes that Cong Ye won't care, and will only change his choice with a smile.

But why can she ask the protagonist of this world to make way for her?

Qiao Yu closed his eyes tiredly.

"...Because I think you two are a good match."

She spoke in a steady voice, as if stating an unimportant matter.

"I've felt that way since the first time I saw you."

"So I want to... give you a push."

Say it, you can't hide it.

Anyway, Lin Qing should like Cong Ye, she can ignore the little episodes in the hot spring, and things she does when her mind is overheated are illogical, aren't they?

But she really didn't want to talk about it.

As if cutting open the heart with a knife, this? She said against her heart but not against her heart. She is the person who should support them the most in this world, and the person who should not support them. Just saying it is like tearing the whole person into pieces. two halves.

"Say it again."

What a cruel request.

Qiao Yu pursed her lips and looked at Lin Qing who was speaking.

"……Say it again."

It wasn't the shy Lin Qing in her imagination who was there.

Different from the faint voice, Lin Qing's indifferent expression had already collapsed, and his clear black pupils gradually sank, losing their brilliance.

"You? Say...you think I and Cong Ye are a good match?"

She finally couldn't even maintain the stability of her voice, and the end of the sentence trembled.

"Did I hear you right, Qiao Yu?"

"..."

No matter how clumsy Ren Qiaoyu was, she could see that something was wrong with Lin Qing at this moment.Her panic overwhelmed the sadness in her heart, and she approached Lin Qing at a loss, but the other party stood up abruptly.

"...I have one more question."

Lin Qing didn't look at Qiao Yu, but looked at the midair without any focus.

"You? You told Aunt Cong back then that you had a purpose for me...to make me happy."

"Does this purpose mean to bring me and... Cong Ye together?"

So she heard it then.

The dull pain in Qiao Yu's heart gradually became numb, her lips and tongue seemed to be glued together, as if she would vomit blood crying if forced to open them, so she just nodded silently.

Lin Qing took a deep breath and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

She finally looked at Qiao Yu, her dark pupils were heavy, her voice was cold and tired.

"Back to you?."

She put the necklace in her hand on the table, turned and left the room without looking at Qiao Yu again.

The clock passed twelve o'clock at this time.

The magic is lifted and everything returns to its original state.
