Looking at Huo Qiran in front of her, even though she was clearly full of doubts and concerns, she couldn't even say a word.

She could only keep taking deep breaths and taking deeper breaths to calm herself down and find herself back.

But Huo Qiran, who was sitting opposite, was still waiting for her answer.

And she couldn't answer him at all.

He asked her if he could have another chance...

But she couldn't be sure what opportunity he wanted.

She knew too well that she liked someone, so when she couldn't control her kiss but didn't get a response, she knew that he didn't like herself.

It was her wishful thinking.

Over the years, they have gone from occasionally communicating with each other to gradually cutting off contact, and she has gradually realized that ordinary friends are ordinary friends, and once they cross the line, they have no friends to do.

But after a few years, after such a hasty reunion, she thought it was a luxury to be a friend, but he would ask her if he could still have a chance...

She didn't understand, she didn't understand, and she didn't dare to say a word easily.

Just as she was silent, the waiter of the restaurant delivered breakfast ordered by two people. She looked at the rich breakfast in front of her and almost subconsciously spoke to break the silence: "Oh, I can finally eat..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Huo Qiran stared at her almost instant, but after she said this, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be even more suffocating.

For a moment, Jing Li wanted to chop off his tongue.

But after saying that, Huo Qiran was still looking at her. She insisted on calming down for a moment before finally speaking again: "Their toast is delicious and the coffee is also good. You can try it."

Huo Qiran slowly lowered his eyes, ate the toast seriously, and then poured half a cup of coffee. Suddenly, he raised his head to look at her, just like before.

The toast that Jingli had just stuffed into her mouth suddenly became choked. She hurriedly took a big mouthful of coffee and finally swallowed the things in her mouth. Suddenly, Huo Qiran whispered: "Is this the answer?"

Jing Li looked up at him stiffly, and then heard him say, "It's either affirmative, or negative, is this what it means?"

Jing Li looked at his calm and lost expression and couldn't even say a word to express his opinion.

Because she was afraid, she was really scared.

She just bit her inner lip gently, as if she had defaulted.

Huo Qiran nodded slowly, lowered his head again, and started to eat the breakfast in front of him little by little.

"Well." He seemed to finally feel in the mood to taste it, responding to her previous question, "Their breakfast is quite delicious."

After eating this extremely suffocated breakfast, Jingli was still confused.

She just wanted to escape from this place quickly and escape from his gaze, so after paying the bill, she stood up quickly and said to him: "I still have some work to deal with, so I won't spend more time with you. You must be very tired when you go out early this morning. Let's go back and rest."

After saying this, she waved at him in a hurry, but she turned around and left without waiting for his answer.

Huo Qiran was left sitting there, watching her back as she left in a hurry, and she had not moved for a long time.

Jing Li entered the elevator absent-mindedly and pressed down the floor. When the elevator opened in front of her again, someone stood at the elevator entrance, but she didn't pay any attention. When she was about to go out, someone grabbed her arm: "jing?"

She looked up in shock and realized that the man was actually brayden.

"Good morning." She blurted out subconsciously, noticing that her voice was slightly hoarse.

But brayden looked at her in shock, "Why do you cry?"

She was a little dazed and raised her hand to touch her face, then she realized the wetness on her face.

...

This day is Sunday, and it is the time when Mu Qian rarely sees his son all day during the week.

Although she has always had many programs on weekends, since Huo Qiran started working hours at 996, she has always been able to postpone the programs on Sunday and stay at home as much as possible.

But today, Huo Qiran left the door before six o'clock in the morning. Mu Qian waited until the evening before finally seeing his son again.

She sat on the sofa and watched Huo Qiran approach, then asked: "No one has been seen this day, where have you been?"

Huo Qiran sat down on the sofa, quieted for a while before saying, "Go to find Jingli."

Mu Qian covered the smile on the corner of her lips and said, "You go out to find someone after six o'clock? Are they awake?"

Huo Qiran slowly raised his head and whispered: "Mom, I seem to scare her."

"It depends on what kind of scare it is." Mu Qian chuckled and said, "Some of the fright may be a shadow of a lifetime, and some... maybe it will be the time to recover from the moment you have experienced the truth."

Huo Qiran was silent for a moment before saying, "It's okay, I can give her time."

After hearing this, Mu Qian just raised his eyebrows slightly and did not continue to express his opinion.

Huo Qiran knew that he was abrupt and knew that this sudden confession of Jingli might be scared. He was willing to leave time and space to calm her down, but he never expected that on the third day, Jingli and Stewart left Tongcheng and went to Huai City.

When Huo Qiran learned the news from Mu Qian, he was stunned for a moment. He sent Jing Li a message to ask, but still received no reply.

To be precise, it was the message he sent to her after breakfast that day, she never replied to it again.

This seems to be a statement, but for Huo Qiran, such a statement is obviously not enough.

...

The day after arriving in Huai City, Jingli accompanied Stewart to visit the most famous streets and alleys in the city center, and continued to go deeper into the streets and alleys, meeting many local elderly people, listening to many stories from the past and the past.

Jingli made a lot of records and translations very seriously. Stewart was obviously more interested in the nightlife of local citizens in this city. He just took a meal in a courtyard. He talked about the owner's yawning and finally gave up his willingness to leave.

It was already late at night when the two of them returned to their residence. Because they had to stay in Huai City for at least several months or even longer, Stewart chose to rent a house here, which was also a courtyard house in a bustling street alley. It was a bit broken, but Stewart lived happily and Jingli was not picky either.

The two got off at the entrance of the alley. Stewart saw an antique shop on the street that had not been closed for some reason. He got in on a whim.

When Jingli paid the fare and got off the car, he looked up and looked around, but he disappeared.
