downstairs.
Qin Ye was lying on the sofa, unable to fall asleep.
I was reluctant to break up with Lu Ning, but I was really tired of Lu Wei.
Although he knew that Lu Ning had taken less than two sleeping pills and was fine, he still couldn't help but visit her bedroom every once in a while.
I'm afraid she won't wake up.
He continued to toss in this way until dawn, and then he fell asleep on the sofa.
I don’t know how long I slept.
Qin Ye felt that someone was covering him with a quilt, and the movements were very gentle, as if they were afraid of waking him up.
There is a very faint aroma on the tip of my nose.
very familiar.
Qin Ye opened his eyes and saw Lu Ning standing in front of the sofa, looking at him silently.
There was weariness and sadness in those beautiful deer eyes.
The sadness made Qin Yexi feel a little pain.
The emotion of "sadness" should not appear in a girl as cheerful as Lu Ning.
He remembered what Bei Xian said, no matter what happens in the future, he must handle it well and don't let Lu Ning get hurt.
But if you really want to break up, no matter how you deal with it, the other party will be hurt.
Unless there are no feelings.
Seeing that he was awake, Lu Ning immediately put away the sadness in his eyes, curved his lips and smiled, "When did you come?"
Qin Ye didn't answer, staring at her pale face, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lu Ning raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "My head is a little dizzy, I feel groggy, and my whole body has no energy. I don't know if I stayed up late on a business trip or if I didn't sleep well. It's okay. I can just catch up on some sleep later."
Qin Ye opened the quilt and stood up, "Take as little sleeping pills as possible in the future, as it can easily lead to dependence. Next time you can't fall asleep, just listen to light music, novels, or read a book."
Lu Ning wondered, "I didn't take any sleeping pills."
Qin Ye looked at her and said, "You didn't take sleeping pills, why did you sleep so deeply?"
"I..." Lu Ning suddenly remembered the glass of milk he drank before going to bed. It tasted weird.
It shouldn't be expired.
It was her father who added sleeping pills to it, in order to keep her asleep and to keep Qin Ye at home.
She stopped talking.
Even if she didn't say anything, Qin Ye understood.
Lu Wei lied.
Without saying a word, Qin Ye bent down and folded the air-conditioning quilt, arranged the pillows on the sofa, straightened up, and said, "You have a good rest, I'm leaving."
"Let's go after dinner."
"I won't eat anymore."
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Lu Ning walked up to Qin Ye and helped him dust his wrinkled shirt.
Qin Ye held her slender wrist, his reluctance coming out.
But he held back, "No need to tidy up, I'll go back to my place to change clothes later."
"Um."
The two of them walked towards the door one after the other.
Lu Wei followed and shouted, "Aye, let's go after eating."
Qin Ye didn't respond, opened the door and walked out.
The sky early in the morning was gray and dark blue.
There was an unclear wind blowing. The wind was hot and stuffy.
The two of them had rarely talked before, but now they talked even less.
Along the way, we walked side by side in silence.
Out the door.
Delivered to the car.
Lu Ning went to take off the bracelet on his wrist, "I'll give you the bracelet. I don't like to take advantage of others."
Qin Ye held her wrist and refused to take it off, "I keep wearing it, is it heavy?"
"It was a little heavy at first, but then I got used to it."
Qin Ye lowered his eyes and stared at the thick gold bracelet, "Does it feel dirty?"
Lu Ning smiled softly and said, "It's not that it's just a piece of clothing, it just feels like something worn by empresses in ancient palaces, so I don't feel comfortable with it. Later I got used to wearing it, and I started to like it."
Qin Ye stared at her eyes for a long time.
He turned around, opened the car door, and took out an exquisite burgundy velvet jewelry box from the storage box.
Open.
Inside is a gold ring.
The ring is engraved with fine patterns and set with a huge emerald.
The gemstone is a rich green hue, emerald and pleasing to the eye, crystal clear and enchanting.
Qin Ye handed the jewelry box to Lu Ning, "The ring and bracelet are matching. I bought them myself later. Let's give them to you together."
Lu Ning's eyes lit up, then dimmed quickly, and he didn't pick it up. "The ring has extraordinary meaning. You can keep it. It can come in handy in the future."
"I bought it according to the size of your finger. I can only give it to you. The ring is not valuable, but the gems set on it are worth some money. You can just take it off and set it as jewelry again."
Lu Ning smiled silently, smiling but unable to laugh anymore.
In the past, I was happy to receive gifts from him.
Receiving gifts from him now always feels a bit like making up for it.
The more he tried to make up for it, the farther away she felt he was from her, and the sadder she felt.
Qin Ye took her hand and forced the jewelry box into her hand, "Go back."
Lu Ning did not move.
After a moment of silence, she returned the jewelry box to him, "You don't have to make it up to me, and don't feel like you owe me. I've been very happy during the year I've been in love with you. There's no such thing as who suffers and who takes advantage. Relationships are all about this. There are a lot of unknowns in this kind of thing, and it’s normal to divide and make peace.”
She shrugged, pretending to smile freely, "As long as we truly love each other, I have no regrets."
Qin Ye didn't answer.
He raised his hand and pushed her into his arms, hugging her.
The hug was very hard, but also very helpless.
I miss the passionate time with her last year.
The wind suddenly picked up and stirred up the dust on the ground.
Then the rain came pouring down.
"Whoosh!"
"Get in the car quickly!"
Qin Ye hurriedly took Lu Ning's hand, opened the rear door and pushed her into the car.
Lu Ning's hair was wet and his face was wet.
Qin Ye pulled a piece of paper and wiped the rain off her face.
But after wiping, water came down again.
Qin Ye's fingers froze, "Are you crying?"
Lu Ning raised his hand to wipe the water from his face and said with a smile: "I'm not crying, it's because the rain got into my eyes. The sting hurt a little. I came out on my own. It's a physiological reaction, not a psychological reaction."
As he said this, tears welled up again.
Lu Ning wiped it off again and laughed out loud, "These eyes are really disobedient. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be fine once the rain is washed away from my eyes."
Qin Ziye felt a dull pain in his heart.
How I wish she wouldn't be so sensible, even if she was unreasonable and acting mischievously.
That would make him feel better.
Qin Ye pulled out a few more pieces of paper and handed them to her.
Lu Ning took it and covered his eyes with paper.
After a while, he let go, his eyes red.
She looked at the car and deliberately changed the subject, "You bought a new car again?"
"Well, Lao Gu got out of the way, saying he needed to discuss business. I got a call from your dad yesterday, and I didn't have time to change my car, so I drove here directly."
Lu Ning smiled bitterly, "You are no longer the same person you were last year, but I am still the same person I was before. This is the difference."
"No, I'm still the same person I was last year. It's just that my appearance has changed, but my heart has not changed. It has nothing to do with you and me, it's mainly your father. He set up a feng shui formation to harm Gu Lin a while ago, and the next step should be Bei Xian. I have I love history and have read a lot of history books. I understand your father’s thoughts very well. A person with this kind of personality is very ambitious and will not give up until he achieves his goal. You have advised him and I have warned him, but he still goes his own way. .”
Lu Ning took a deep breath and said, "I can understand you. No matter what choice you make, I agree."
Qin Ye paused, "I didn't know about the blind date that day."
Lu Ning smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. You will definitely take this step in the future. I can only fight and deal with supernatural incidents, but I can't help you with anything. A girl like Miss Yun is better than me More suitable for you."
Qin Ye's heart clenched suddenly, and the pain gradually turned into a lump of flesh.
He raised his hand and pressed her into his arms.
I can't count how many times I hugged her today.
This girl who once risked her life to protect him is going to be lost.
The two hugged each other in silence, no one spoke.
Once upon a time, they hugged each other, and the two of them were happy and contented.
Now there is only reluctance, regret, and heart-wrenching pain.
I don’t know how long I held him.
The heavy rain finally stopped.
Lu Ning pushed him away gently, "You go home, take a shower, and go to work."
"good."
Lu Ning opened the door and got out of the car.
Qin Ye found an umbrella and handed it to her, "Hold it, don't get wet if it rains again."
Lu Ning looked at the umbrella, moved by the scene, and thought of "San".
She made a smiling face and took it, "Drive slower."
"You too, walk and look at the road."
Lu Ning couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm in the community. I'm home in a few steps. I'll be fine."
Seeing Lu Ning's figure completely disappearing into the community, Qin Ye turned around and got in the car.
Sit in the driver's seat, hold the steering wheel, and step on the accelerator.
I stepped on it several times, but the car didn't move.
Then I remembered that I forgot to start the car.
He sat there feeling lost for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and punched the steering wheel hard.
According to his past temperament, Lu Wei would inevitably have to suffer a physical punishment.
But now, he won't do anything so impulsive.
Lu Ning returned home.
Put the umbrella at the door and change your shoes.
Lu Wei came up to meet her and saw a jewelry box in her hand. He took it over and opened it.
See the ring inside.
Lu Wei was overjoyed, "Aye proposed to you? So soon! You see, dad's tricks are better, and you are right to listen to dad."
Lu Ning pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
Lu Wei picked up the ring and looked at it carefully, "Although the ring is gold, the gemstone is of very good color and looks like a fine emerald. It must be worth a lot of money. Aye is still very interested in you. By the way, Did he say when he got engaged?"
Lu Ning finally spoke, "You're overthinking it. It's a breakup gift. Because of you, we broke up. Are you satisfied?"
Lu Wei suddenly withered, like an eggplant beaten by frost, "Break up? How could this happen?"
