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

The atmosphere between Qiao Yu and Lin Qing became uncomfortable again, but this time it was obviously much more serious than last time.

A few days later, everyone found that the two of them were not sitting together again at the dinner table. Father Qiao laughed a few words but no one responded. The grown-ups, who are used to observing words and expressions, immediately realized that this was not the same small fight as before.

Cong Ye, who was caught in the middle, was trembling like walking on thin ice, his head was buzzing and aching from a hangover.The low air pressure on both sides made him bite the bullet and eat without daring to ask a word.

After breakfast, he boldly followed Qiao Yu, and squeezed into her room before she closed the door.

"Hey, Qiao Yu, what happened to you just now?"

"..."

Qiao Yu, who hadn't slept all night, looked pale and sighed.

"I suggest you go to Lin Qing's—"

"I'm going! I was walking with her in the corridor just now, don't talk about asking something, no matter what I say, she ignores me!"

"...That's it."

Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows, feeling puzzled.

Even if you ask her what's going on - she hasn't figured it out until now.

She didn't understand why confessing to Lin Qing that she had brought them together would lead to such a result.

Lin Qing was obviously angry, or should I say... avoiding her.

When Lin Qing left without looking back last night, Qiao Yu was completely unable to react in time.Lin Qing's reaction was too different from her imagination, and when she woke up and chased her out, Lin Qing had already closed the door tightly.Qiao Yu knocked tentatively, but there was no movement inside.She had no choice but to return angrily, her mind in a mess.

……why?

The system couldn't give an answer to her doubts.

'Yes, could it be because Lin Qing has a thin skin?Then it was pierced by the host...'

'...do you think she was shy just now? '

'It's not like it. '

The system categorically denied his pale guess, feeling very sad.

Qiao Yu looked at the necklace that Lin Qing put on the table, was silent for a while, and put it back in the gift box.

She frowned and sat down at the table, rubbing her hot temples and trying to recap the bad night.

After drinking, she accidentally took out the gift that she was going to give to Lin Qing, and only thought of changing it after being reminded by the system. As a result, Lin Qing found out about it, and she had to confess the purpose of her series of actions.

And then here comes the present.

The figure walking out of her room was lonely and helpless, with a broken glass-like feeling.It was her confession that made Lin Qing like that, but why?

Lin Qing... doesn't she like Cong Ye?

"So I can only ask you! Lin Qing was completely treating me like air just now! Of course she seems to be treating you like air too! What happened to you last night?"

Cong Ye's face was full of confusion, so his words were gradually shattering the inherent impression in Qiao Yu's heart.

"...You haven't offended Lin Qing these two days, have you?"

"No! We had a good chat when the fireworks were set off yesterday! My mother got drunk as soon as I was at the dinner table last night, so I don't have the time to mess with her!"

Seeing Cong Ye crying out for injustice in grief and indignation, Qiao Yu had to temporarily confirm that the reason for Lin Qing's change of attitude towards him had to be attributed to herself.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, the fact that Lin Qing likes Cong Ye seems to be untenable.

"Don't just ask me a few words and just fall into deep thought on your own—can you first explain the situation to the innocent people affected?"

Compared with the frowning and thoughtful Qiao Yu, who was more aggressive? Cong Ye walked around the room anxiously like an ant on a hot pot.

"It's only been a few days since you've been here? This is the second time... Is there some kind of curse in this hotel? All the couples who have stayed here will get divorced?"

"Okay okay, I won't force you if you don't want to say it, but! Yes!"

He said the words so loudly that Qiao Yu looked at him in shock when he slapped the table.

"...I still say the same thing, hurry up and make peace? Okay."

His voice suddenly dropped, and his eyes were worried and sincere.

"Even I can see that Lin Qing is really in a bad state right now."

"Although she still looks like that on the surface, she -- I don't need to say more, you should have seen it, right?"

"Yesterday, yesterday was her birthday."

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Of course she saw it.

In the morning, except for the two of them, Lin Qing's attitude towards others was normal, gentle and polite.

But Lin Qing's gloomy eyes, his forced silent smile, and even though he sat with him until the end, he didn't actually touch his job at all.Qiao Yu saw everything.

"And it turned out to be her unilaterally ignoring you...I'm not saying it's definitely your fault, but, but."

Rolling from Ye Ye's throat, he said in consideration.

"...But I know that now, Lin Qing must be the saddest person."

"If it wasn't helpless, she would never... treat you like this."

"If you want to say why—"

He almost cried himself, and put his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"... Lin Qing definitely cares about you more than you imagine."

Sitting on a street bench in a foreign country, Qiao Yu let out a long breath of white air.

Feeling more and more upset in the hotel, she simply changed her clothes and came out to get some air.

Cong Ye's words lingered in her ears and did not go away for a long time.

"……I also……"

I, too, care about her more than anyone can imagine.

She silently pulled up the scarf to cover most of her face, remembering that Lin Qing had tidied the scarf for her that day, so she closed her eyes and buried herself deeply in the fluffy scarf, looking for the false temperature and warmth. breath.

If they both care about each other so much, why did it become like this.

From last night until now, Qiao Yu hadn't been able to say a word to Lin Qing.

She couldn't sleep at night, so she went to Lin Qing's door early and waited for her. Finally, when Lin Qing came out, Qiao Yu tried to explain, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, but was stabbed by Lin Qing's polite and alienated eyes. Standing there dumbfounded, listening to Lin Qing's footsteps going away.

At that moment she was too scared to move.

She raised her hand and buried her face deeply in the palm of her hand. Those doubts and incomprehensions turned into a cavity of fear that could not be resolved.

—Don't hate me.

The great fear of being rejected by the one she loved frightened her, made her unable to move, made her lose courage, and made her escape from the hotel where she would always think of Lin Qing when she saw everything.

No one wants to reconcile with Lin Qing more than she, the person involved.

But now, except for "Although Lin Qing has someone he likes, it doesn't seem to be Cong Ye", Qiao Yu couldn't reason anything out. Thinking seemed to be in a dead end, which made her feel anxious.

She looked aimlessly at the crowd walking on the street, and her eyes were attracted by a small stall on the side of the road. There were people lined up in twos and threes there. She couldn't understand the signboard, but fortunately there was a clear picture beside it. .

"Crepe……"

Qiao Yu stared at the burritos filled with cream and fruit that the booth guests took from the boss, and was dumbfounded.

It seemed that Lin Qing would like it.

Don't look at Lin Qing's appearance of a high-mountain flower who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, but she actually likes sweets unexpectedly.I always carry a few candies in my pocket on weekdays, and eat one from time to time.According to her, it was because she had a little low blood sugar when she was a child, so she developed a habit.

The bag of taiyaki that Qiao Yu bought a few days ago was the same, five or six in a bag, except for one from Cong Ye, the rest went into Lin Qing's stomach.

At that time, she was eating bite by bite seriously, and the cheeks puffed up while chewing looked so soft.

Qiao Yu had to work hard to restrain the urge to poke it, and deliberately diverted his attention and asked, "Is it so delicious?" '

'It's actually okay.It's not that tasty either. '

Lin Qing swallowed the last mouthful, folded up the empty bag, frowned at her, and smiled brightly.

'But you bought it for me. '

Qiao Yu woke up from her memories and found that she had clenched her fist unconsciously, and her nails had pierced deep marks on her palm.

She suddenly felt exhausted and exhausted, she lowered her head and smiled softly.

"……what……"

Since Lin Qing's words will always be remembered when he sees everything, isn't there no reason to escape from the hotel at all?

She really wanted to see Lin Qing.

Except for eating, Lin Qing never went out of the house all day.

The scheduled itinerary was cancelled. Lin Qing knew that this should be the consideration of the adults, so she silently accepted the kindness and locked herself in the room.

In fact, she didn't even want to go out to eat if she could.She seriously considered the idea of ​​ordering in-room dining, but finally dismissed it because of the noise.

Although every time he saw that person, the severe pain from last night would revive in his heart, but Lin Qing suppressed his emotions as much as possible, turning himself into an emotionless marionette.

Like a bystander, she looked at herself who had lost her soul with cold eyes, and only felt sad and ridiculous.

Until last night, she was still the Lin Qing who was full of affection, her heart beat faster when she saw that person, and she foolishly believed that that person also had a little affection for her.

Now that things have happened, Lin Qing seems to be able to calmly find the right answer for all kinds of past events.

That person came forward when she was gossiped because of integrity.That person's thoughtfulness and care for her was due to his gentleness.That person is close to her and always stays with her because he regards her as a friend, and... a suitable object for Cong Ye.

It turned out that that person never treated her differently, never had love for her.

Everything is just her one-man show.

She was obsessed too deeply, and the person who made her heart beat for so long was a fiction.

So much so that until now, even thinking of that person's name would make her feel painful.

... Qiao Yu.

Lin Qing sat on the bed and hugged her legs tightly, but she couldn't stop the cold air from attacking her.

Love is real, and so is pain.

In Qiao Yu's eyes, she must be an unreasonable woman - leaving suddenly, ignoring her suddenly, what kind of inexplicable anger is she?

Only Lin Qing knew that she was not angry, but she was too trembling to face Qiao Yu.

What happened last night made her physically and mentally exhausted. She just wanted to get rid of Qiao Yu's sight and breath, that's all.

But... But what's wrong with Qiao Yu.

She just doesn't love her.

Lin Qing felt the familiar soreness welling up in her throat again, and she closed her eyes wearily.

dong dong.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which echoed dully in the silent room.

Maybe the mother and the others came to condolence her again, Lin Qing thought so.The adults have come here several times today, their eyes are full of inquiries and worries, she is really a little tired after trying to cope with it.

She sighed silently, and decided to be willful once and for all.

After knocking on the door several times, it stopped.

"...Lin Qing, are you in there?"

Lin Qing suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah, it doesn't matter if you don't open the door, I know you may not want to see me..."

The voice coming in through the door was a bit muffled, but she had heard that voice thousands of times, and she would never get it wrong.

"I just...wanted to talk to you."

She had heard it thousands of times, and Qiao Yu's voice had never been so timid and cautious as it is now.

Lin Qing's heart began to ache again, and now that she was so scarred, she was able to separate her heart to feel sorry for Qiao Yu's situation. She wanted to plug her ears, but found that she couldn't be ruthless no matter what. Heart.

"I seem to have said something wrong yesterday."

"First of all, I misunderstood your mood without authorization and made an act of matching you and Cong Ye. I'm sorry."

Qiao Yu's voice was low, and Lin Qing could easily imagine how cramped she was.

"Secondly, I temporarily changed the birthday present I had prepared for you, and planned to hide it. I'm sorry."

Every sentence of her apology was very solemn, but the more Lin Qing listened to it, the more painful it became unbearable.

"And, and..."

"...Sorry, I haven't figured it out after this."

Of course.Of course you can't figure it out.

Lin Qing couldn't stop trembling and ruffled his hair tremblingly.

Because, you didn't have—

"But you are so sad, I must have done something very bad."

"But I'm too stupid, and my brain doesn't work well."

"I'm not defending myself, I'm just..."

Qiao Yu's voice became flustered, and he continued after a few pauses.

"I just want to make up with you sooner."

"So tell me, Lin Qing, tell me."

"Whatever I did wrong, I will change everything."

"...as long as you don't ignore me."

Finally? The last sentence was very quiet, and there was no sound after finishing speaking.

Lin Qing's heart was in a mess, and she wrinkled the quilt with her hands.

Wanting to see her, but not wanting to see her, this kind of contradictory mood? It was about to drive Lin Qing crazy.The protective film she had built around herself with great difficulty was so vulnerable that it would collapse with just a call from Qiao Yu.

Why, Qiao Yu, why.

Even knowing that it wasn't Qiao Yu's fault, Lin Qing still couldn't help throwing his emotions on her.She allowed this emotion to rage, to curb her urge to open the door, and she stood deadlocked through the door for a long time.

"……I see."

In the end, it was the other side of the door that broke the silence first, Qiao Yu's voice was very calm, at least Lin could not hear any emotion.

"You eat too little during the day, I just went out to buy crepes."

"It's just rolling up pancakes and adding a lot of cream and chopped fruit. It's delicious. It sounds very good, doesn't it?"

"Food is guiltless, I hung it on your doorknob."

"I'll go back first... Ah, don't worry, I will never lie to you and say I'm gone and wait outside the door for you to open the door. I'm really leaving now, don't worry."

"Dinner, I'll have it in my room."

"Well... That's it, I'm leaving."

The voice fell, and there was no more movement.

Lin Qing sat in the house for a long time, until her legs became numb and the sky began to get dark. She walked to the door step by step, opened it, and took down the bag hanging on the doorknob.

She closed the door behind her back, stumbled to the trash can, and lifted the bag over it.

Her hand loosened and tightened, and after a long silence, she finally withdrew her hand as if giving up.

do not do that.

Lin Qing clenched the edge of the plastic bag, but still couldn't bear to damage the contents.

Don't do this, Qiao Yu.

Stop being so gentle with me.

She finally whimpered, in the room without the lights on, for her unrelenting love.
