A few days passed quickly, it was Qing Dai’s birthday.
For their date, He Shaozhou booked a restaurant a month in advance.
As soon as Qingdai opened the door, He Shaozhou was already standing outside waiting for her. He was not wearing a suit, but still tall and straight with a cold temperament.
The tall man took two steps closer, looked at Qingdai, and smiled unnaturally, showing a rare nervousness that was not easy to detect.
"let's go."
As soon as Qingdai made a move, He Shaozhou immediately followed him step by step, keeping half a step behind Qingdai.
Qingdai was keenly aware that something was not right about him and asked Maozi: How long has he been here?
Mao Zi yelled: It's eleven o'clock at noon, and he has been standing in front of your house at five o'clock in the morning.
He Shaozhou stood like this for six hours!
Qingdai was surprised, her face was wet. She smiled and turned around to hug He Shaozhou, "Shaozhou, I don't want to go out on a date."
He Shaozhou's heart sank.
"Let's just stay at my house for the day, okay? I want to spend your birthday alone with you."
He lowered his head to hide his complicated emotions and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I listen to you."
The two entered Qingdai's house, and He Shaozhou took off his coat on his own initiative, "You are the birthday girl, I will cook."
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and smooth arms. He paused for a moment after opening the refrigerator, and said hesitantly, "I...can you help me in the kitchen?"
He Shaozhou closed the refrigerator and added, "Just do some simple things, okay?"
Qingdai sighed, He Shaozhou never talked about the harm done to him in the past, but this harm has always affected him in an irresistible way.
He is cold and powerful, but he is also worried about gain and loss and extremely insecure.
He couldn't bear to lose her again.
Qingdai didn't point it out, and took the dish from He Shaozhou's hand calmly, "Of course I can, but you underestimate me. Mr. He, let me reiterate to you that I am a senior legal officer of your company, not a general counsel." Soft tofu that breaks when you poke it.”
"Yes." He Shaozhou lowered his eyes, and the hair that fell on his forehead in his normal state could not hide his gentle smile, "You are the best Shang Qingdai."
Qingdai pursed her lips and smiled, and pushed him into the kitchen sheepishly, "It's useless to say nice things now. If you don't cook well, I won't let you stay overnight."
The man's waist was lean and strong, radiating hot heat under Qingdai's hands. She retracted her hand, but was grabbed by He Shaozhou. The originally dark clouded mood improved significantly. He held Qingdai's hand and said with unclear meaning: "It must be delicious."
The water in the kitchen was gurgling, and Qingdai was washing the vegetables carefully. He Shaozhou was forced to sit on a chair to rest. He stared at Qingdai's white and tender face, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
What should I do? It seems that he really can't live without Qingdai.
Qing Dai felt the fiery sight behind her and sighed to Mao Zi: What a sweet burden.
Mao Zi looked at Qing Dai's happy expression and continued to say coldly: If you don't complete the task as scheduled, I will let you feel the burden of points and debt.
Qingdai:......
This system cannot be dealt with. If there is a grudge, it is a true record.
Qingdai finished washing the dishes, and He Shaozhou stood up subconsciously, "You go to the living room to rest first, I will prepare it soon."
The tall man wore a cartoon apron, with deep black pupils, like a pitiful puppy, staring sincerely at his beloved master.
"No, I can't wait."
Hearing Qingdai's rejection, He Shaozhou's expression flashed, and he was a little confused and panicked, "I..."
Qingdai turned around and sat on the kitchen chair, holding the armrests with both hands, raising her head to look at He Shaozhou, "So, I'll wait here for you to do it."
He Shaozhou was stunned.
Qingdai's pupils are amber, and when she stares at people, she looks gentle and focused, as if she has the power to heal people's hearts.
He then shook his head and laughed.
"So you feel it."
He covered his face with one hand, pressed his temple hard, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry. You still need to take my mood into consideration."
"Shao Zhou, don't you believe me?" Qingdai pursed her lips.
"How could it be?" He Shaozhou's eyes were distressed, and he stroked Qingdai's left cheek, "I will always believe in you."
Qingdai took He Shaozhou's hand and looked at him quietly, "Then you just don't believe in yourself."
He Shaozhou was silent, his eyes lingering on Qingdai's face inch by inch, and he acquiesced to this answer.
The kitchen suddenly became very quiet, except for the intertwining sounds of the two people's breathing. Qingdai stood up and kissed He Shaozhou. The moment their lips and teeth met, the ambiguous atmosphere suddenly heated up.
Qingdai leaned against his ear, "You know what? You have praised me many times. Your love has given me enough confidence and confidence. You always say that I am the best Shang Qingdai, and I want to tell you that you are too The best He Shaozhou."
"I will not leave you."
He Shaozhou held Qingdai's waist with one hand and stroked her head with the other. The usually calm and steady man's tone was unsteady, and his deep voice was soft and slow, like a drifting feather finally falling to the ground, "I understand. Qingdai , thank you for your choice."
"Ding - mission success progress 100%"
"Congratulations to the host, the mission is completed, soul fragment*1"
The long-awaited system prompt sounded, and the question popped up: Do you choose to leave this world now?
Qingdai glanced at He Shaozhou, who was holding him tightly with a smile on his face, and asked: What will happen to Shang Qingdai after I leave? She and He Shaozhou...
She said halfway without asking any more questions.
Maozi saw Qingdai's complex emotions and fully understood that this owner, who seemed to be far-fetched and out-of-the-box, was actually thoughtful, kind and gentle.
It flew over and gently bumped Qingdai's forehead to express comfort: don't worry about them. After you choose to leave, the small world will leave a copy of you to accompany the male protagonist for the rest of his life.
Mao Zi continued: Have you forgotten what I told you after you entered the mission world? There are multiple dimensions and spaces in the big world. The identity of these mission worlds you go to are the fragments of your soul in each small world. In other words, they are essentially you.
Qingdai responded and sighed, as if she was feeling lost, and as if her slightly agitated heart had finally calmed down since she knew she was leaving this world. She smiled slightly, covering up more complicated emotions, and said: I understand.
Just like she said at the beginning, this is Shang Qingdai, who has secretly liked her for many years, and He Shaozhou, who has been trying to get closer. This is their story.
Maozi clicked on the task screen, full of enthusiasm: OK! Then let's collect the next soul fragment. The next one is the world of the heroine.
At the moment when her soul left, Qingdai stood up on tiptoes and pressed her lips against He Shaozhou's. If He Shaozhou felt something, his rich breath poured down, he hugged her tightly and kissed her over and over again.
"Yes. Choose to leave."
Goodbye.
Congratulations to Shaozhou.
