After hearing what Qiqi said, Jiang Shao finally felt relieved. Finally, she sighed, "Qiqi, you and your sister have been close since you were young. You two are like real sisters. She never tells me and your uncle anything. If she tells you, you can comfort her and persuade her, okay?"
"…Okay." Qiqi agreed. But, how can I persuade her about this? Qiyu is a person who can't listen to advice.
Qiqi hung up the phone and walked out of the office building. She saw the Tang family's driver coming again from a distance. She got in the car, but changed the direction and did not return to the Tang family for the time being.
The driver didn't dare to send her anywhere else, so he called the young master for instructions. After saying that twice, he respectfully handed the phone to Qiqi.
"What time will you be back in the evening? I'll pick you up." Tang Jue's voice came from the other side.
"My aunt asked me to stay with my sister because she was worried about her. So I won't leave at night."
"…" Tang Jue was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Qiqi was afraid that he would be unhappy, so she added: "My sister is sad and needs comfort because of you, so don't make a fuss about it."
"When do you plan to explain everything to your sister?" Tang Jue suddenly asked.
Qiqi had never thought about this question before. So, when Tang Jue asked, she was completely stunned. After a moment, she sighed and shook her head, "Let's wait a little longer. My uncle is still in the hospital and his condition is unclear. If I tell her about this again, I'm afraid she will be even more unable to bear it."
"If you find it difficult to speak, I can talk to her."
Qiqi thought about it. With Tang Jue's personality, she didn't know what he would say. However, if she really told Qiyu the truth, it would be much better to be more direct.

When Qiqi arrived at Qi's house, the door was ajar and Qiyu was sitting on the sofa searching for information on her computer. She didn't even notice Qiqi pushing the door open.
Qiqi leaned in closer to take a look, and saw at a glance that she was searching for Tang Jue, followed by the words 'Tang Jue's girlfriend'. But all that came out were photos of Wen Xin.
Qiqi didn't feel relieved, but felt even heavier in her heart.
"Sister." She patted Qi Yu's shoulder.
Qi Yu came back to her senses, feeling a little guilty, and immediately closed the computer. Qi Qi did not expose her, just pretending that she saw nothing. Qi Yu asked: "Why are you here?"
"You look so distraught, your aunt has seen it all, and I'm very worried." Qiqi put down her bag, unbuttoned her blazer, and walked towards the kitchen. "You specifically asked me to come and cook for you tonight and accompany you to sleep well."
"You don't have to listen to my mom. She just likes to worry about things."
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you." Qiqi put on an apron, opened the refrigerator, and looked around inside. She raised her voice, pretending to be relaxed and happy, to adjust the atmosphere.
Qi Yu didn't say anything, so Qi Qi took out a fish from the refrigerator on her own initiative and thawed the chicken.
"Will you stay at my place tonight?" Qi Yu leaned against her, like a spoiled child. It was better to have someone to accompany you than to stay at home alone with your thoughts.
"Yes. I'll accompany you for one night. Otherwise, what will you do if you stand there stupidly all night?"
Qi Yu sniffed her greedily and suddenly said, "Qi Qi, you smell so good again... So good..."
Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and the fish in her hand almost slipped to the ground. Last night, Tang Jue carried her into the bathroom, and he washed her with his own hands, and he naturally used his shower gel. She just didn't expect Qiyu's nose to be so sensitive.
"I... Mo Xun's friend sent him a bottle." Qi Qi had no choice but to lie. She held the fish tightly to make herself look calmer. "If you like, I will ask Mo Xun to send you a bottle then?"
"..." Qi Yu didn't say yes or no. She sniffed Qi Qi's neck, as if she was carefully feeling the smell. Then, her eyes fell on Qi Qi's bright red kiss marks, and she smiled, "Qi Qi, would your Mo Xun be willing to let you sleep here with me?"
"Why can't you bear to leave?" Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief when the subject was changed.
"He has to stay alone in the empty room tonight~" Qiyu's eyes swept across Qiqi's neck ambiguously. Qiqi understood and blushed, but simply went along with it without explaining anything.
———
Perhaps because Qiqi was with her, after dinner, Qiyu's mood had improved a lot.
Early in the morning, the two of them lay on the bed watching TV while applying facial masks.
"You're right. No matter how much I like someone, I still have to love myself first." Qi Yu patted her face gently. "I didn't sleep tonight. I don't know how much collagen I lost."
Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's best if you think this way."
"But, seriously, do you think Wen Xin is pretty?"
“…” Qiqi put on her facial mask and didn’t say anything.
"Hurry up and tell me! Is she pretty or not? I know you took pictures of her, tell me now!"
"... Actually, it's really pretty." Qiqi had to tell the truth.
Qi Yu pretended to be angry and glared at her, "Then tell me, who is prettier, her or me?"
"You can't talk while wearing a mask, or you'll get wrinkles."
"Okay, Qiqi, you also think she's prettier than me, right?" Qiqi was so angry that he kept tickling her waist, "Your elbows are bent outward, right? Tell me, tell me what's so beautiful about her!"
"Sister! Stop it, it's itchy~~" Qiqi couldn't help laughing and fell on the bed. The mask fell off her face. She didn't even bother to put it back on. She just reached out to block Qiyu's hand, "I'm wrong, is it okay if I'm wrong? You're beautiful, you're a thousand times more beautiful than others."
"real?"
"Really." Qiqi was laughing until tears came out, and she looked at Qiyu begging for mercy.
"That's good enough. I'll let you go for now!" Qi Yu clapped her hands and let Qi Qi go. After this commotion, her mood improved a lot. Her expression also looked much brighter.
Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, "Stop making trouble, I'm really going to get wrinkles."
The two put on their masks again and leaned against the bed. Qi Yu was about to say something when Qi Qi's phone rang. In the night, the ringtone sounded particularly abrupt.
Qiqi took the cell phone out from under the pillow and was startled when she saw the flashing number on it.
She hadn't saved Tang Jue's number yet, so when Qi Yu looked over with a curious look, she didn't notice anything. Qi Qi felt a little more at ease.
"Sister, I have to answer a call." Qiqi held the phone tightly, lifted the quilt, and prepared to get out of bed.
