C16 Surprise

(16) Surprise

Upstairs, Shu Lan quickly opened her suitcase and took out some clothes to wash. Lyi Qingqing had just found a new set of bed pillows from her locker, but before she made the bed in the next bedroom, she was already standing at the door, urging her on.

"Qingqing, don't trouble yourself. If we really have to stay the night, I'll just sleep on the sofa for the night."

Lyi Qingqing stuffed the pillow into the pillowcase and turned her head to say, "There are still about twenty more days until school starts. You shouldn't have to go back to your hometown, right? Didn't Qin Changjun share the rent with several guys? It's not convenient for you to stay there. In this period of time, you will be living here, and since you won't be coming, I'll be staying at the Pingshan. "

Shu Lan was wiping her hair vigorously with a towel. Right, Qingqing, you really didn't go on a trip? When I called you, I was afraid you'd be abroad! "

"Hurry up and dry your hair, I'll get it ready right away."

When the two of them went downstairs again, it was already past 12. It was already so late, someone must have returned from Qin Changjun's roommate.

Along the way, Shu Lan kept dialing Qin Changjun's cell phone, but it was always turned off.

The car was parked at the entrance to an alley, and the road inside was blocked. The alley was narrow and winding, but the light wasn't dim. There were lights on the poles in the surrounding area, and the cables were intricate. The buildings on both sides of the alley were as dense as a beehive. It looked like an old village in a city.

"Qing Qing, why don't you go back first. This place is not too far from where you live anyway. If I really can't wait for him, then go back by myself." I remember the password, I won't call you back then. I'll open the door myself and enter so I don't have to wake you up again. "

"Alright, hurry up and go down to see if Qin Changjun is back." If not, then think carefully about where else he might have gone to, and we'll go back to look! "

Shu Lan gave her a grateful look, then opened the door and got out of the car. As she walked, she didn't forget to turn around and gesture at her with her hand, indicating that she wanted to make a phone call.

Lyi Qingqing looked down at her watch. Her father hadn't come back when she left. If he still didn't return at this time, he must have gone to Miss Yan's place. She hesitated. It was already so late, so it would be inconvenient for her to call him.

Yan Xue was Lyi Maoxun's girlfriend, a graduate from the Chinese department in Hong Kong University. Before the two of them met, she was already the deputy editor of a magazine.

Lyi Qingqing went to Jiang Yuhao's family for help when she was in her first year.

Lyi Qingqing had just turned the car around when she saw Shu Lan in the rearview mirror.

"Still no one?"

Shu Lan couldn't help but feel depressed. "Two of the guys in their room came back and said they didn't know where Qin Changjun went! I opened the door to his room with the spare key. It was dirty and messy, but I didn't see anything wrong with it. The guy next door said that he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and even smelled the fragrance of the instant noodles coming out of his door, causing him to starve for half the night. "

Lyi Qingqing thought for a moment. "Maybe he'll be back soon. He went out with his classmates."

"Did you call any of his classmates and ask them?"

"There are only about 10 guys in their class, he's never good at socializing. As for girls, he doesn't dare to get too familiar with them."

Lyi Qingqing wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to. She started the car and drove onto the cement road.

The roadbed was bumpy and she slowed down, but there was still a distinct vibration. Shu Lan also saw a figure appear in her line of sight after they had traveled about two to three hundred meters.

She stopped the car and turned on the safety. Shu Lanfeng got out of the car and the wind rushed past the front of the car. Pressing down the window, he could hear Shu Lan's head full of complaints, complaints, and worries. She was blabbering on and on in a reproachful manner. It was impossible to hear what Qin Changjun said at all. It was always her voice, coming and going, hammering and hitting at the same time. She was just like a wild and barbaric girlfriend.

Lyi Qingqing picked up her cell phone and sent a message to Shu Lan. She then started the car and slowly drove past them.

He had just gotten out of the elevator when he received a message from Shu Lan: Let's rest early. See you tomorrow!

She casually slid down. Lu Xinpei had sent her a message at 9: 15. Just as she was about to reply, Shu Lan called.

It was past one o'clock in the morning, and he should have gone to bed long ago.

Perhaps it was because she had overslept, or maybe it was because she was touched by something, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she got up and sent a message to Lu Xinpei: "I wish I could see you the moment I opened the door tomorrow like last time!"

Lyi Qingqing didn't know that at that time, Lu Xinpei had just returned from the second station that night. When he saw the message on his phone, he spent only one minute thinking and then booked a round trip ticket.

At 9: 20 the next morning, Lyi Qingqing woke up in a daze to the sound of the doorbell ringing. She yawned as she walked outside, turning up the central air-conditioning in the room.

When she saw Lu Xinpei standing outside the door sleepily, her first reaction was that she was dreaming. She stood there blankly as she patted her face. When she closed her eyes, that person was still standing there elegantly.

At that moment, she was so overjoyed that she almost screamed. She completely forgot that she was still wearing her pajamas, and her hair was messy and unkempt. She didn't even have time to brush her teeth.

"It's 9: 30 in the morning. There's a meal at 8: 00 in the evening, so I have to leave for the airport by 2: 00 in the afternoon at the latest."

Lu Xinpei raised his eyebrows as he opened his arms. "You're not going to waste these few hours in a daze, are you?"

Because she had once been misunderstood and taken hostage, he had moved quietly downstairs; he had followed her unhurriedly to Vancouver, when she had bothered to escape; he had made her a license plate for her birthday and taken her to the river to set off fireworks. And now again, just because of one of her messages, she was running like hell.

Just how many surprises and emotions did this man want to give her!?

At this moment, she suddenly understood what kind of sincere treatment she had received from saying "I'll wait for you"!

Lyi Qingqing rushed over and happily threw herself into his arms.

"You're back!"

"I saw your message and came back. Why did you suddenly come over to stay, and why aren't you sleeping! "

She was already in a daze from her happiness. Her legs felt like they were stepping on clouds, making her feel so light that she could fly at any moment.

She stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck, almost hanging from his body.

Lu Xinpei held her and caressed her long hair, then whispered in her ear, "Little idiot, can I go in?"

Only then did Lyi Qingqing react. She immediately let him go and retreated to the door. "Come in!"

Lu Xinpei seemed a bit shy. After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked in and closed the door.

For a moment, Lyi Qingqing was a little flustered. She had been too excited just now and was afraid that she had lost her composure.

Just now, she had practically stuck her entire body onto his. They were so intimate, without any scruples, as if they really were a couple in love.

Lu Xinpei's gaze swept across the living room slightly before returning to her.

He was wearing a beige linen shirt and apricot pants of the same quality. They were simple, yet exquisite. The cut was Chinese and very appropriate. When worn on his body, he looked truly refined and handsome.

As expected, good-looking men truly look good in coarse linen clothes!

Lyi Qingqing was staring at the person in front of her in a daze. She was not only admiring him, but also secretly feeling proud. She had completely forgotten that she was only wearing a loose, white nightgown.

Her skirt was made of extremely soft and light cotton, and it was also white. The outline of her slightly bony body was faintly discernible. She was tall, and this kind of dress made her look shorter. Most of her exposed legs were long and slender, straight and slender, and she had a pair of equally white and delicate feet.

Her skin was truly white, pure white like a sheet of snow, and her jet-black straight hair seemed to be scattered carelessly on the back of her chest.

It was this simple and clean one black and one white, yet it was like a bolt of lightning in the night sky, splitting open a forbidden area that Lu Xinpei didn't dare to lightly touch even in the depths of his thoughts.

In next to no time, Lyi Qingqing's face turned red under his unusual fervent gaze, as if her neck had turned completely red.

However, she might not know what kind of grand beauty she was in the eyes of Lu Xinpei. This sort of beauty was almost unbearable to approach. It was as if every step one took forward was a disturbance, a desecration, but one could not help but be fascinated by it.

He was not a very noble man, he thought. He had all the vanity and desires of a man.

Although, he kept telling himself, he would never do anything to Qiao Aishi until he officially divorced her. Especially now, Qiao Aishi had obviously started to suspect that he was only determined to divorce her for a woman. He should keep his bottom line and not let her fall into any dire straits to attract others' attention.

This was something that he absolutely could not allow.

No matter how much he longed for it, he still had a reason to keep it under control!

But at this moment, he couldn't control his legs at all. The surging emotions in his heart were like a stormy sea of emotions as it came crashing towards him, gradually extinguishing his rationality. He could feel that the position he was struggling to hold was slowly falling and losing.

And she was right in front of him. She was so bright and white, so pure. Even her blushing face looked so real and natural.

This was not the first time she had blushed in front of him!

He was not slow. On the contrary, he was very sensitive. After all, he was a normal man who had experienced love and marriage.

He just cherished her too much, and wished that he could hold her in his hands and cherish her thousands of times more. Even if she had never blamed him, or even thought she was wronged, he could not allow himself to have the slightest bit of fluke. No matter how unreasonable Qiao Aishi was, and how much pressure Qiao Zhenye put on them, it would be a waste of time to deal with them. She had said that she was afraid of becoming someone who could not be restrained by marriage or morality.

He would not let her fall into such a state of confusion and self-denial!

But at this moment, all reason seemed to be in vain. His body was more honest and determined than his thoughts.
