Su Qiu was obviously stunned by Qi Shaofei's words. She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.
"Whatever Shen Ling can give you, I can too." Qi Shaofei suddenly moved closer to Su Qiu as if he had promised her, and said this.
She needed time to know if she had fallen in love with Shen Ling during these three years.
She didn't know whether she should stay or take the opportunity to leave, but her phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed Shen Ling's name, which made Su Qiu frown.
"Hello." After some hesitation, Su Qiu still picked up the phone. Her voice was low, as though she was in someone else's home, overly loud or impolite. "I'm at a friend's home, I'll be back in a while."
Before Shen Ling could interrogate her, she had already reported her whereabouts.
That man was jealous, but she knew it.
"I got it. I'll go home for dinner a few nights, you should come back earlier as well …" Where are you? I can pick you up. " Shen Ling was extremely considerate, and without any warning, he got into Su Qiu's ears.
Su Qiu was currently in Qi Shaofei's home, so she naturally would not explain her location.
Although Shen Ling felt that something was wrong with his wife, he did not think too much about it.
The busy tone of the phone rang. Su Qiu thought that Shen Ling had never taken the initiative to call her before.
Was it really because Su Xia had returned that everything had changed?
"Whose call was it? Shen Ling? " Qi Shaofei brought out the cantaloupe melon from the kitchen and placed the fruit plate in front of Su Qiu.
After carefully peeling and preparing the melon, which was placed on a light blue ceramic plate, Su Qiu nodded her head and took the fruit fork that Qi Shaofei gave her and began to eat the fruits that the other party had prepared in an orderly manner.
There was no such treatment at home.
After finishing an entire plate of fruits at Qi Shaofei's house, Su Qiu was a little unable to sit still. She could not find any excuse to leave — after all, she was eating someone's soft mouth.
He could see her little ninety-nine, so he cleared his throat and suggested, "There's a book nearby. Shall we go and take a look?"
Su Qiu's love of reading was known to everyone who had pursued this young miss before.
In order to cater to Su Qiu's hobby, the suitors had swapped many different types of books, from home and abroad, to curry favor with the big miss.
Qi Shaofei was the craziest one among them.
After Su Qiu heard the other party's words, she couldn't wait to leave this place, and now, she even agreed to it.
Qi Shaofei was amused by her rare cute look. She got up and picked up her clothes and prepared to leave.
The book bar wasn't far from his home. The two of them walked there for less than five minutes.
The owner of the bookstore should be a very tasteful woman. The entire shop was filled with the indistinct fragrance of fresh flowers, but it was not the kind of cheap chemical fragrance.
She loved this place.
Su Qiu's eyebrows curved into a smile as she urged Qi Shaofei to hurry up, and the two picked a seat close to the window to sit down.
Su Qiu recognized many of the books on the bookshelf, but when she saw the row of books below, her face immediately turned pale.
Qi Shaofei followed her gaze and immediately understood the reason behind her sudden unsightly expression.
The few hardcover versions of the fairy tale books were precisely the birthday presents that Qi Shaofei brought back from overseas to give to Su Qiu.
And within the entire bookshelf, there were many books that Qi Shaofei had seen on Su Qiu's bookshelf before.
"Why are we here?" Qi Shaofei took a step forward and went closer to the bookshelf, pulling out a book from the shelf. On the title page, Su Qiu's name was written on it, the words in flower were written extremely vividly.
Su Qiu bit her lower lip, as if she did not want to say much.
Qi Shaofei placed the book in front of her and she stretched out her hands to flip open the book. There were still a few pages that she had casually recorded down, but it was a pity that she had not finished reading the entire book in the end.
"When the Su Family went bankrupt, Su Xia wanted to take the money and leave. I stayed at the company for a few days, but when I returned home, I discovered that Su Xia had sold all the books I had."
Su Qiu closed the book and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She looked at Qi Shaofei and continued, "Su Xia walked very quickly, when and how did she sell these books. Who did she sell them to … I don't know anything. "
Qi Shaofei nodded, and tactfully did not ask anymore.
It looked like what he knew about what had happened to Su Qiu back then was just a drop in the bucket.
"From now on, it's my turn to protect Su Qiu." Qi Shaofei suddenly said this.
The two of them smiled at each other. In the past, when they were together, they could always engrave a similar tacit understanding between each other's souls.
The reason was unknown. Su Qiu and Qi Shaofei did not run into the legendary shopkeeper who was like a dragon meeting its head and its tail disappearing. The two of them sat there for a while before leaving together.
Qi Shaofei drove Su Qiu to the door of his house. He was afraid that Shen Ling would cause trouble for her, so he didn't get off the car. Instead, he comforted Su Qiu a little: "If he comes looking for trouble with you again …"
"That won't happen. As long as I don't provoke him, will he still eat me for no reason at all?" Su Qiu forced a smile.
Su Qiu knew what he was going to say, but how could she have the ability to accept his good intentions?
After talking for a bit, Su Qiu opened the door and got off.
After taking a deep breath, she didn't look back at Qi Shaofei who was still in the car.
This place was her true home.
It was not even noon yet, but Auntie Liu was still the only person at home. After hastily eating lunch, Su Qiu went upstairs to sleep, bored out of her mind.
These two days, she didn't sleep very well. She planned to wait until tomorrow or the day after, when she could recuperate and go back to that book.
After all, her treasured books were still there. She wanted to ask the shop owner how much money was needed before she was willing to sell them, then save up enough money to buy them back …
While thinking about his own little nine and nine, Su Qiu laid on the soft bed.
The temporarily blissful dream could barely be counted as a piece of candy that Su Qiu felt her life could go on for a bit longer.
