Chapter 191 Solve the misunderstanding
He Qiaoyun gave a bitter smile. "Yes."
Xu Hemei clicked her tongue repeatedly, "It's even harder to choose now. There's only one last option left: either choose none or choose all, resulting in either total damage or no damage at all."
He Qiaoyun nudged her, "Don't make things worse for you."
Xu Hemei pouted, "It was already a mess."
He Qiaoyun ignored her and stared blankly at the two identical cheongsams.
"Buzz-"
My phone received two identical messages.
Feng Jiashu: [Do you still like the cheongsam?]
Liu Biao: [Do you still like the cheongsam?]
He Qiaoyun replied to each message: 【I like it, thank you, you've gone to so much trouble.】
Feng Jiashu: [If you like it, then it's not a waste of money, and the exhibit has found its value.]
Liu Biao: [Why waste money? How expensive can a garment made of two pieces of fabric be? Let's not talk about that.]
He Qiaoyun: [Hmm.]
She put down her phone, sighed, and packed away her cheongsam before returning to her room to wash up.
Day two.
A group of energetic middle-aged people and children got up early and went downstairs for breakfast, while two young people slept in their room.
After breakfast, they went upstairs to get their luggage.
After packing her luggage, He Qiaoyun was about to leave when she remembered that her daughter was still sleeping. She went into the room and patted her twice, saying, "Get up, don't miss the bus back."
Xu Hemei rolled over, pulled the blanket over her head, and said, "I booked a ticket for noon, so please let me sleep a little longer..."
The cat lying nearby was fast asleep, oblivious to its surroundings.
He Qiaoyun reached out and petted the kitten before leaving.
We went downstairs, checked out, and went with them to catch the next train.
Their second stop on their trip was an ancient city steeped in culture.
We arrived at a good time, neither too early nor too late, and it would be too rushed to go out and explore. So after checking into the guesthouse, we rested for a while and waited for lunch arrangements.
Apart from Feng Jiashu, who was staying in a family suite with his child, the rest of them stayed in single rooms.
He Qiaoyun opened her suitcase to pack her things, and when she saw the two boxes inside, she felt terrible.
She sighed, closed her suitcase, picked up her bag, and went out the door.
They met downstairs at the guesthouse and strolled along the ancient town street, eventually choosing a unique little restaurant.
After the group sat down, Liu Biao said, "It feels a little strange with one less person."
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were not used to it either, saying, "It's good that the child is busy."
He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Yes."
After lunch, instead of going back to rest, they strolled along the streets of the ancient city, buying many handicrafts and snacks along the way, and even renting Miao costumes to take photos by the river.
As afternoon approached, they enjoyed afternoon tea and chatted idly in a small teahouse on the riverbank, and before they knew it, the day had passed.
As dusk falls, the lights of the ancient city illuminate one by one, their vibrant colors lending a mystical aura to the historically significant buildings, making one feel as if they have stepped into another world.
Having eaten too many snacks in the afternoon, they didn't feel hungry in the evening. Standing on the stone bridge, they all took out their phones to take pictures.
Looking at the boats passing under the bridge, Aunt Chen said, "These cruise ships have a better atmosphere at night, but there are so many today, it'll probably be hard to find a seat."
Looking at the group of people waiting for the cruise ship on the shore, He Qiaoyun said sullenly, "Yeah, it doesn't matter, it's the same to stand on the bridge and enjoy the scenery."
Seeing her slightly disappointed expression, Liu Biao turned around and went down the bridge, squeezing through the crowd without stopping, and walked towards the shore.
Just as he was leaving, Feng Jiashu squeezed through the crowd from the other side, walked up to He Qiaoyun's side, gently patted her, and asked, "Want to go boating together?"
He Qiaoyun, who was taking pictures, paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that she had promised him last night to have a chat tonight.
She put away her phone and subconsciously looked to the other side. Not seeing Liu Biao, she nodded to him and said, "Okay."
Feng Jiashu smiled, "Come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out, took He Qiaoyun's hand, and led her down the bridge.
He Qiaoyun followed his steps with a blank mind, and before she could react, he had already led her to the shore.
"Watch your step."
He gently reminded him.
She snapped out of her daze, glanced at him, saw his smiling face, nodded gently, and stepped onto the boat.
The boat was floating on the water, and her feet had no foothold, making her unstable. She instinctively reached out, and the next moment, her hand was firmly grasped.
"Help me up."
A gentle male voice reached my ears.
She nodded, took his hand for support, and stepped onto the boat with her second foot.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Jiashu also boarded the ship.
This scene was witnessed by Liu Biao, who was queuing to buy tickets on the other side...
The old man punting the boat called out in a local accent, "Hold on tight, the boat's leaving—"
Ripples spread across the water as the boat slowly sailed away.
They sat facing each other in the boat, with several desserts and sweet drinks on a small table in front of them.
When people are in an awkward situation, they always have to do something. He Qiaoyun picked up a piece of coconut glutinous rice cake from the table, took a bite, and said, "It's pretty good."
Feng Jiashu also picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake, took a bite, and said, "Hmm, it's quite delicious."
Actually, they couldn't taste anything; they just wanted to find something to say to ease the awkwardness.
He Qiaoyun asked, "If you come out by yourself, Tian Tian won't come looking for you, will she?"
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly, "I've arranged everything."
He Qiaoyun nodded slightly, and the atmosphere became heavy again.
After a long while, the two looked up at each other and spoke at the same time.
He Qiaoyun: "You..."
Feng Jiashu: "I....."
They both burst into laughter.
He Qiaoyun said, "You go first."
Feng Jiashu also said, "You go first."
He Qiaoyun's fingers curled up slightly as she asked, "You asked me to go on a boat trip alone, is there something you want to say?"
Feng Jiashu looked into her eyes and said, "I want to clear up the misunderstanding that happened more than a month ago."
He Qiaoyun's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. She steadied her breathing and said, "Go ahead."
Feng Jiashu: "Shortly after your incident, Ruan Shu, through her lawyer, summoned me to the detention center, where she confessed to me."
He Qiaoyun quickly pressed, "What did you confess?"
Feng Jiashu spoke with difficulty: "It was my aunt. My aunt saw that I had no children, so she instigated her to get close to me... They have huge appetites and want to take all my property for themselves..."
He Qiaoyun's eyes were filled with shock, "This is an attempt to murder for money..."
Feng Jiashu lowered his head and forced a bitter smile. "Yes, that was their original plan... Unbelievable, isn't it? The elders we've always respected were thinking such filthy things..."
He looked up at her, his eyes filled with resentment and regret. "I actually hurt you and almost lost you because of a relative like that."
He got up and sat down next to her, embracing her without hesitation.
"Qiaoyun, I'm sorry. I've been suffering a lot since you left. I've been living in self-doubt every day. Qiaoyun, I didn't mean it when I said I liked you. I like you, I really, really like you. I want to be with you forever. I feel like my life has no meaning when I'm apart from you. Please, please don't ignore me anymore, okay?"
The dazzling lights around them shone into the boat. She was on the water, held tightly in his arms, as if she had fallen into a beautiful and fantastical dream.
