But, deep down, she knew her absent mindedness was not just because of Liu Yiyi or Qin Zhiyou.
It wasn’t just when Qin Zhimei mentioned Bai Changyou that she got angry.
The reason she was angry was because… Qin Zhimei brought up that incident from five years ago.
Just now, this group was discussing whether to have children, even a second child. She even heard Xiaochen say her eldest nephew is already four-years-old, in kindergarten.
Four years old.
Five years ago, if that incident hadn’t happened, if that child had been kept, he would be exactly four years old now.
She lowered her head, lightly caressing her flat stomach.
Five years has passed since that day.
Despite it being five years, the faint pain still lingered.
Especially, she remembered that day, it was also a stormy night.
The old-fashioned clock “Dong Dong Dong” struck ten. The storm was getting wilder outside, she got up and closed the window. Feeling listless, she went to the bathroom to wash up, trying to calm herself down before turning off the lights and settling in early.
Originally, she was the only one in the room, quiet and peaceful, with a big bed. She usually fell asleep quickly. But, she didn’t know what happened today, her head ached unbearably, and sleep eluded her.
After tossing and turning, she finally gave up and got up. Her hair was a mess, she lit her phone, it was only half past twelve. Right, she went to bed at ten-thirty, she woke up just two hours later. If she had known it would be like this, she would have preferred to work until she naturally felt tired. Now she was tired and sleepy, her head hurt, and she couldn’t fall asleep. It was pure torture.
She simply got up, went to the restroom. The phone was still in her hands, she opened WeChat, absent-mindedly scrolling through her friends’ timeline.
In the timeline, Yu Sixing had also posted photos. She just remembered that she asked Qin Zhiyou to take some good photos for her. But Qin Zhiyou didn’t send her any photos of ancient buildings these past few days, he didn’t even post anything in his timeline. She didn’t know what happened to her, she found an anonymous account and checked Liu Yiyi’s Weibo (micro-blogging site). There she posted photos of herself at an ancient architecture site, in one of the photos’ background, there was a tall man, that should be Qin Zhiyou.
Seeing this photo, Lu Weixi felt a lump in her throat. She quickly flushed the toilet, then stumbled out of the bathroom. Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, she noticed that someone was twisting the lock to enter.
How could that be possible? Qin Zhiyou was still at an event, moreover, he had a very important closing ceremony tomorrow. If he were to come back, it would be tomorrow night.
As she thought of this, the door was suddenly opened. Qin Zhiyou, looking haggard and worn out, walked right in.
“Qin…” She couldn’t get the second word out before being silenced. Qin Zhiyou didn’t forget to close the door with his heel as he entered, then he backed her into the corridor.
“Qin Zhiyou, why…” As soon as her lips were free, she couldn’t help asking. She was indeed surprised, Qin Zhiyou had an important speech tomorrow afternoon, and the event would not be over until tomorrow. Why was he back a day early?
Qin Zhiyou pursed his lips, his brows slightly furrowed, his face was heavy. It was clear that the event he attended wasn’t exactly a delightful experience.
But, she was in a terrible mood today and she really didn’t have the energy to deal with him now.
“Qin Zhiyou, can’t you just…” She pushed him away and shook her head..
