Chapter 255

"This is good, you don't need to ask. I, your Auntie Guo, haven't had him in my heart for eight hundred years. I'm naturally fickle, falling in love with one person after another. It's not that I don't believe there are good people in this world, but I don't believe in everlasting love. Love is like a flower; it's best preserved at its most beautiful moment. I want to keep falling in love until I'm old and die; how can I stop for just one person?" Guo Yalan said as she twisted her hair into her hand.Han Ziyu was dumbfounded, hearing and seeing someone actually live out such a philosophy for the first time.

If love were all like what Qi Li had with Guo Yalan, then Han Ziyu would naturally disdain it, feeling it was even worse than Guo Yalan's approach. But...

"I think Teacher Ji and her husband are doing just fine."

Guo Yalan chuckled and tapped Han Ziyu's nose, saying, "I'm talking about normal people. Qin Xian, and that... Yu Yue, they're all freaks; they can't be included in normal patterns. Normal people's love is just like that; it's passionate at first, but after it wears off, it's just ugly. If there's a harmonious way to get along, it might last a bit longer."

Han Ziyu was a bit upset that Guo Yalan called her idol's husband a freak, but she understood it was just a playful jab from her friend and didn't get angry. She just didn't understand why they suddenly started talking about this.

Guo Yalan was getting a bit impatient now; before, the thought hadn't crossed her mind, so she didn't feel anything, but now that she had taken action, she couldn't stop.

"Alright, enough of that. Have you recovered from your allergy?"

"Yeah, I'm fine now."

Guo Yalan suddenly asked, "Allergic to lemons?"

Han Ziyu's heart skipped a beat, "Uh, yes, isn't that a coincidence?"

Yes, very coincidental. If this were a TV drama, they'd probably be sisters. But Han Ziyu had heard from Qi Li that Guo Yalan's parents had a harmonious relationship and were a happy family of three. And she herself also had parents, who were very similar to her mother and also allergic to lemons. So this fantasy was basically impossible.

However, Han Ziyu optimistically thought that maybe there was some ancestral connection, which could be considered a kind of fate.

Guo Yalan's expression grew even more complicated, but she didn't say much. She added Han Ziyu's contact information and then asked, "Do you still have work to do?"

Han Ziyu nodded.

Guo Yalan sighed, "If Qi Li bothers you again, ask Ji Fei for help. She's a good person and seems to like you a lot. Plus, Qi Li wouldn't dare to mess with Qin Xian."

Han Ziyu blinked, feeling a strange sense of being protected by Guo Yalan. "Aren't you coming?"

Guo Yalan smiled, "I'll find you later. I have something to do right now."

Han Ziyu looked at Guo Yalan curiously but didn't pry.

After that, they went downstairs, and Guo Yalan called a car and left, immediately calling her connections back in the country to arrange the quickest paternity test.

Then she had someone investigate Han Ziyu's background and family. The people who knew Han Ziyu's situation were definitely related to Qi Li, since it was Qi Li who found Han Ziyu.

This roundabout way of doing things alerted someone close to Qi Li.

The person even joked that it seemed Guo Yalan still had feelings for him, not wanting to give him to someone else. Immediately, she was actively inquiring about the substitute, worried that she might pose a real threat.

But Qi Li, looking at Han Ziyu returning, had a moment of doubt.

After all, Han Ziyu's simple background didn't seem to warrant such thorough investigation. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths for a rival in love?

At least in his perception, Guo Yalan wasn't that kind of person.

Could it be that she really took a liking to her and wanted to investigate her?

Qi Li quickly shook his head to dispel this absurd thought.

But seeing Han Ziyu return with a heavy heart, as if really troubled, it must be that Guo Yalan had finally started to act.

Now it was Qi Li's turn to feel a bit annoyed, as he was starting to feel... a bit reluctant to part with Han Ziyu.

Who should he choose?

Qi Li couldn't help but get up and walk towards Han Ziyu.

Han Ziyu, catching a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye, felt like she was facing a great enemy and immediately turned to leave. But she was called back.

When Han Ziyu turned around, her face was already stern.

Qi Li, however, thought she was upset, and said, "Did she trouble you?"

"No."

"Stubborn."

Han Ziyu: ...#￥@&*

"If you're really upset, tell me. I... I'll talk to her. Where is she?" Qi Li asked, puzzled, not seeing Guo Yalan return.

"Sister Yalan had something to do and left. Also, Sister Yalan and I are fine, please don't make wild guesses about our relationship." If she could, Han Ziyu really wanted to grab his shoulders and shake him to wake him up. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Qi Li, however, didn't listen to the latter part of the sentence. Hearing that Guo Yalan had left, his face changed immediately, and he turned to leave.

【I see, on one hand, he can't let go of Han Ziyu, and on the other, when he hears that Guo Yalan has left, he regrets and wants to chase after her. Is he determined to set himself up for a female-centric tragedy? I really want to tell him that he thinks he's making a choice, but the two of them aren't even on the list!】

Qin Xian, although not fully understanding what a female-centric tragedy entails, really felt that Qi Li's behavior of going back and forth was indeed problematic.

Qi Li went to grab his phone and stepped outside to make a call.

However, Guo Yalan, anxiously waiting for the results, had no time to deal with him.

Qi Li felt that Guo Yalan must be really angry, probably having heard about his interactions with Han Ziyu, so she was even more concerned.

If that's the case, Qi Li felt he shouldn't have been distracted by Han Ziyu, as Guo Yalan was the one he had loved for years.

Qi Li found a place to think about life in a somewhat dejected manner.

【Looks like both Qi Li and Guo Yalan are waiting for a result. I wonder if I can finish this drama today.】

Ji Fei thought idly as she lay on her float.

Ji Fei, who had been lying comfortably on her float, was suddenly knocked off by a wave caused by someone diving nearby.

But Ji Fei didn't choke, as Qin Xian quickly caught her and led her to the edge.

Ji Fei was a bit dizzy but soon perked up.

Qin Xian was about to ask how Ji Fei was doing when he heard her thoughts.

【This feeling of being held, this chest, this back, this feeling of using the whole body to experience the muscular lines and hidden strength, amazing! Hehehe, I was so focused on the drama that I overlooked the main point of this trip.】

Qin Xian: ...

Although his muscles tensed a bit, his embrace tightened gradually.

It could be said that this was the first time they were so close.

There was almost no distance between them except for Ji Fei's swimsuit, and their body heat was exchanging in the water.

Before they knew it, they had reached the edge, and Ji Fei was happily enjoying the embrace of a handsome man. The strange sense of security and comfort made her feel so at ease that she didn't want to move.

Qin Xian naturally didn't want to let go either; the person in his arms filled the void in his heart, wishing time could stop at this moment.

The two of them held each other without caring about anyone else.

However, soon, Qin Xian's face suddenly changed, and he quickly pushed Ji Fei away.

Ji Fei, who was almost lulled to sleep, was woken up and couldn't help but complain, "What's the matter? Can't I be held for a while?

【He even says he likes me, but he won't even let me hug him?】
