"Love is so sacred that a poet can illuminate the souls of others with the light of poetry. No matter how foreign we used to be to poetry, as long as we are in love, everyone is a poet. — — Plato

After Lin Qingrou typed in the last line of the message, she turned to look at the empty office. It seemed that everyone had already left. At this moment, the bustling room finally quieted down. The clock in front of the office door started ticking away like raindrops, counting the seconds as it moved forward. In an instant, even the clock's sound seemed to echo. She heaved a sigh of relief, as if sitting alone in such a large space after work was a relaxing way.

Lin Qingrou's hand rummaged through the notebook on the table. Just as she was about to pack up and leave, she suddenly saw a few words that she wrote down herself — "Call Grandpa Chen when you have time."

She frowned as she tried to recall something. It was only after some time did she remember that the cemetery manager, Grandpa Chen, had called her in the morning saying that he had urgent matters to discuss with her. But at that time, Lin Qingrou was busy writing a script, so she could only evade calling him back when she had time.

Right now, she had nothing else to do and was about to get off work, so she turned off the lights while leaving the office and returning to Grandpa Chen with the phone.

"Grandpa Chen, I was busy just now, so I didn't pay close attention to your phone call. Is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Qingrou said softly before pressing the button for the first floor.

Grandpa Chen seemed to be checking to see if there was anyone else around. He suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, did you ask your friend to come and pay his respects to your father yesterday?"

Lin Qingrou stood in the dark gray elevator. Her heart rose and fell as the gravity creaked around her, but after hearing Grandpa Chen's words, her heart dropped to the bottom.

"Who did you see going to the cemetery?" she asked nervously.

"I only vaguely saw the back of a person that day. He was very thin and tall, with long hair and he wore khaki colored clothes. Your friend? " Grandpa Chen asked worriedly.

Lin Qingrou quickly searched through her mind. Aunt and Liu Yuxi were the only two women who knew of her true situation, but they were people who were completely different from what Lord Chen had described them. Therefore, who exactly was the person he saw that day?!

At this moment, a cold and fragmented wind came from an unknown place in the elevator. She couldn't help but shiver as her thoughts became more and more chaotic. It was as if his entire life had been a headless novel from the day he had met Xing Ruonan.

"Ding!"

While Lin Qingrou was still deep in thought, the elevator had already reached the first floor. But maybe she was too serious, and when the elevator doors opened, she didn't even react.

I understand. Thank you for telling me. I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye out for me in the future." "Ahh!

As Lin Qingrou was speaking, she bumped into someone as she stepped out of the elevator.

"I've noted it down. Are you alright, Little Lin?" Master Chen suddenly asked in a flustered manner.

Lin Qingrou was apologizing as she explained to Master Chen that she was fine. However, when she raised her head, she realized that the person standing in front of her was Ye Qingming!

The moment she saw him, Lin Qingrou became even more nervous. Her first reaction was to put away her phone.

"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Ye Qingming walked with her and could not help but ask.

Lin Qingrou still hadn't thought through what Master Chen had said. She smiled at him, "It's an interview."

However, she then thought about it and asked Ye Qingming, "Why are you looking for me?"

Ye Qingming imitated her as she curled her lips into a smile and said neither fast nor slow, "If there's nothing else, I can't come and find you?"

"What is it? Do you really think that we are a couple who are about to get married and are stuck in a deep relationship? "

"Isn't it?"

Lin Qingrou looked at him helplessly and shrugged.

"Whatever you say."

After dinner with Ye Qingming, Lin Qingrou told him not to send her home.

"You're really stubborn. If you don't let me send you home now, don't tell me that you want to separate after we get married?" Ye Qingming complained.

Lin Qingrou forced a smile as she walked to the side of the street. Just as she was about to take a taxi, she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and asked Ye Qingming, "Last time I saw that khaki coat of hers, it was very pretty. Did she wear it often?"

Ye Qingming blanked out for a moment before reacting. He nodded and said, "I gave those clothes to her last year. She's been wearing them a lot these few days. What do you think?"

he asked with interest.

After hearing what he said, Lin Qingrou was even more sure of what she was thinking. Although she felt waves of cold, she still tried her best to smile in front of him.

Ye Qingming saw that she had finished talking, so he took a taxi and waved goodbye to her before leaving. However, Ye Qingming didn't leave immediately. It seemed like just now, Lin Qingrou had smiled at him, whether intentionally or unintentionally. She was standing under the street lamp, her eyes still bright even though she was a little tired. The faint yellow light caused her entire person to be gentle and pure. The moment I saw her smile, it was as if all the boredom of the day could be left behind for the time being.

"Looking back suddenly, that person is in a place with no lights."

This was the only description Ye Qingming could think of.

As the car gradually disappeared into the night, Lin Qingrou couldn't help but turn back to look. Ye Qingming's figure was still standing in the same spot, and Ye Qingming's figure was swaying slightly on top of his figure. She frowned, her heart involuntarily trembling. So, it was like this to see someone watching him in such a silent night.

However, when the car stopped in front of Liu Yuxi's house ten minutes later, Lin Kuanrou didn't have much time to think about this entangled relationship.

After seeing Liu Yuxi, Lin Manshui briefly explained to him what had happened to Lord Chen as well as what she had guessed.

"Five years ago, Uncle Chen's son was sentenced to six years in prison for manslaughter. After I found out, I asked my uncle, a friend who works in prison, to take good care of him. I wanted to arrange for him to meet with the father and son as often as possible so as not to make things too difficult for him. "From then on, Grandpa Chen looked over my father's grave from time to time for me, just in case someone found out about my relationship." Lin Qingrou explained.

Liu Yuxi was currently drawing on his computer. He looked down from his laptop and said in a daze, "So, are you suspecting Quan Wei of investigating you?"

"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty!"

"Why? "Are you that sure?"

"Of course, my intuition is always accurate."

Liu Yuxi took off his glasses, rubbed his forehead and said in disbelief, "Instinct? "Big Sis, we learned it from primary school anyway. You have always been the most materialistic one, you couldn't wait to see the ghost movies to write a feasibility report on science. Since when did you start believing in intuition?"

Lin Qingrou sat on the carpet, hugging her knees. Hearing her words, it seemed that her stance had begun to waver.

"No, I'm sure it's her!" Lin Qingrou said firmly.

Liu Yuxi took a sip of water and suddenly thought of something as he looked at her. "I sent someone to investigate Xing Ruonan a few days ago!"

Lin Qingrou snapped out of her daze and probed, "Xing Ruonan isn't dead?"

"How did you know?!" Liu Yuxi's mouth turned into an 'O' shape as he stared at Lin Qingrou in shock.

Lin Qingrou took a deep breath. "I saw her the day before yesterday."

When Liu Yuxi heard this, he immediately stood up.

"You saw her? Where is it? She's still alive! "

"Now that I think about it, I'm not sure myself. But first tell me what you found out. "

Liu Yuxi sat down, looked at his phone, and said to her, "It's like this. Originally, I sent people to the construction site to check on the progress of the construction. However, because there were too many people and junk on the site, I had my colleagues take a photo and send it back. And guess what I found in the photos I sent? "

After saying that, Liu Yuxi took out his phone and handed it to Lin Qingrou. She took it and looked at it carefully, then asked, "The people behind are those who are here to transport cement …" "Is that Xing Dapeng?!"

Liu Yuxi snapped his fingers.

"Bingo!" "That's Xing Dapeng, the father of Xing Ruonan."

Lin Manshui never thought that the person they had been looking for for so long would actually be living and working in the city near them!
