Qi Shaofei cupped his hands in a very gentlemanly manner and opened the door for Su Qiu.
This courtyard was the favorite place for her when she was young. When she was young, her father was busy with work, and her mother often accompanied her to the courtyard to read fairy tales.
Until now, she hadn't been able to fix this flaw.
Su Qiu's legs went soft, but she still walked forward and pushed open the villa's door.
It was exactly the same as it had been a few years ago, except that the white soft fur carpet in the hall had been replaced with a beige one, and the cushions and bolsters on the sofa had been replaced with new ones.
"I can't find anything similar anymore. I can only temporarily use something else to replace it." Qi Shaofei followed her in, his tone filled with guilt. "I'll do my best to give you what you've lost before."
Before he finished speaking, what appeared in her mind was actually the love words Shen Ling had whispered into her ear last night.
The man had said he would give her everything he could.
"I …"
"I know that you are not to be blamed for what happened a few years ago. What Su Xia did to you, what Su Xia owed you, and what she did to you, are things that she owed you. Qi Shaofei hugged her from behind and said word by word with sincerity and deep emotion.
For a few seconds, Su Qiu felt that it would be better for her to just be a rotten person. On one hand, she was interested in Shen Ling's promise, but on the other hand, she didn't want to let go of Qi Shaofei's deep love.
"I don't want revenge anymore." Su Qiu was afraid that she did not know what he had done for her, and could only lie, "Mr. Qi, what you have done is meaningless. The Su Qiu you like is already dead, and I am currently despicable and weak.
He was silent.
Su Qiu moved her body. She still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Shaofei.
"I'm willing to use ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years, as long as Su Qiu believes in my sincerity." He whispered: "If you want the Su's consortium's life, I will help you get it back."
She sighed deeply.
That's right, she wanted the Su's consortium, and even more so, wanted Su Xia and Shen Ling to pay with their lives for her dead parents. But these were all paths that she was destined to tread alone, without the need for others to participate.
"Even if I haven't completely given up, I still have to retrieve these things myself." Su Qiu suddenly gathered strength. She struggled out of Qi Shaofei's embrace, walked more than a meter, then turned around and faced his face. "I'm Su Qiu, have you forgotten?"
"Yes, you are. You are Su Qiu. " He was a little taken aback by her words, and immediately understood the meaning behind them.
She was Su Qiu, and she had the ability to get everything she wanted.
The corner of Qi Shaofei's mouth hooked up without any warning, "Then, as a friend, you wouldn't refuse my help, right?"
"It depends." Su Qiu stood in front of him.
She was standing in the opposite light, so he couldn't see her face clearly. He just subconsciously felt that on her face, there must be a confident smile.
Qi Shaofei thought back to a long time ago when he heard that Su Qiu liked old books. The first time he came to visit his, he was holding an old stack of books in his arms, and it was Su's mother who opened the door for him.
Panting, he stood in front of her with the stack of books.
Qi Shaofei clearly remembered that afternoon's sunshine was very good. Su Qiu was wearing a goose yellow dress, and her long hair was a bit messy from being kissed by the wind. She just sat quietly on the swing like that, raising her eyes to look at him.
"My name is Su Qiu, who are you?"
"I... My name is Qi Shaofei, I really like you, I want to be your friend. "
It should be because of the old book's face that Su Qiu raised his face, and also gave him the first smile he received from Su Qiu in his entire life.
That day was the happiest day for Qi Shaofei since he had grown up.
Forcing his thoughts to come back to reality, Qi Shaofei tried his best to hide the unnaturalness in his tone, "Take the key first. You can come over to take a look when you're homesick."
Su Qiu nodded, she knew that now was not the time to forcefully reject the other party's good intentions.
"I want to take a look at my parents' tombs. It's been a long time since I've been there. It's so unfilial." She carefully put the key into her handbag and told him so.
Mother Su really liked Qi Shaofei when he was still alive. If Su Qiu hadn't tenaciously wanted to waste a few more days with him, if Su Qiu had been with him before the Su Family went bankrupt, the Su Family parents would not have felt so much regret.
The corner of his mouth hooked up into a bitter smile. Su Qiu lifted her eyes, and the gaze she looked at Qi Shaofei with contained a little more guilt and complexity.
As time went by, he realized that love didn't necessarily require time to prove it, but it was all too late.
"Let's go." Qi Shaofei reached out and pinched her cheek, perhaps he had already thought of the thing that was currently tangled in her mind, "I have to look back on everything, and there will be good days after this."
His words were firm, and instead made Su Qiu laugh.
The two of them were preparing to come out from the living room when Su Qiu suddenly changed her mind. She wanted to go upstairs and take a look at her old bedroom.
Qi Shaofei had wanted to spoil the little girl in front of him from the start, so why would he reject her?
When the two of them went up the stairs, Su Qiu's room's door was still a white wooden door.
She paused, her grip on the doorknob loosening and tightening, and finally pushed the door open.
The tip of his nose suddenly turned sour.
If he had seen that Qi Shaofei had intentionally copied the living room from a few years ago, this bedroom would have been obtained after exhausting all of his mental energy.
When the Su Family moved away, the bookshelves that were emptied by Su Xia had already been three-quarters filled up. It was not easy anymore.
"Mr. Qi... Thank you so much. " Su Qiu didn't know what to say. Her nose and eyes were red.
Qi Shaofei did not speak, she only allowed herself to grope around the bedroom, and the four years that had passed poured out one after another.
That day when he saw her, he probably felt the same way she felt when she returned here today.
Within a spacious bedroom, Su Qiu laid on the bed with her face hidden within, while Qi Shaofei stood at the door with a face full of tenderness.
