When Qiao Nian received the call, she was getting some water in the living room. She opened the refrigerator door, took out a bottle of Evian, and sat down on the sofa.
"…There has been no movement in Continent M so far."
"oh."
She responded, then put her phone on the coffee table, unscrewed the lid, raised her head and drank a sip of water, and said to Bo Jingxing: "I know."
Bo Jingxing looked at the girl's delicate features, and whispered into the night breeze at the dock, "Qiao Nian, I apologize to you for what I said that night."
The girl had a rather frivolous look in her eyes. When she heard the man on the other end of the video whisper "I'm sorry", her eyes moved slightly. She slowly put down the water in her hand and asked nonchalantly, "What did you say that night?"
"I… "
"I don't take it to heart, and you don't have to take it to heart either."
Bo Jingxing understood what she meant instantly, a bitter smile flashed across his lips, and he couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said, "If you say that, I will feel even more guilty."
Qiao Nian would scold him or give him a cold look.
He felt better.
But Qiao Nian acted very magnanimous and always tolerated the excessive words he said that night, which made him unable to let it go.
Qiao Nian was very direct: "You don't have to think so much. We are just ordinary friends. It's normal for you to have your own concerns."
Bo Jingxing looked at her deeply and apologized very gentlemanly: "Sorry."
“…” Qiao Nian didn’t respond this time.
She really didn't like accepting apologies from others, especially from someone like Bo Jingxing who insisted on apologizing to her. It was actually quite boring.
She knew very well that she and Bo Jingxing were at most acquaintances who had met a few times, and if she had to be more specific, they might not even be ordinary friends.
This time when the cooperation with Continent M was interrupted, Bo Jingxing, as the head of the Ninth Institute, asked her for a solution. In fact, there was nothing to apologize for.
If it was Ye Wangchuan who asked her that night, she might feel uncomfortable. But when Bo Jingxing asked her, she did not feel offended.
People are close or distant.
She never felt it was wrong.
Bo Jingxing also noticed the girl in the video's suppressed impatience and indifference, so he didn't continue the topic and instead said, "These two people from Continent F..."
Qiao Nian relaxed his frown and said, "No need to stay. I told David that I'll leave after delivering the things."
Bo Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
"Yeah." This time Qiao Nian responded, "You don't have to thank me. I was the one who caused this conflict, so I should be responsible for it."
"Mr. Ye talked to me about this. He said that this day would come sooner or later. I also thought about it and felt that what he said made sense." Bo Jingxing smiled and said, "So Miss Qiao, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself. You are still the youngest among us. I didn't have as much pressure as you when I was your age. You don't have to shoulder so many things."
"OK."
Qiao Nian didn't explain his thoughts to him, he just nodded, looking easy to talk to.
Bo Jingxing knew that she agreed so quickly because she didn't take his words to heart, so he wasn't sad. He just found a topic to talk about and hung up the phone.
After Qiao Nian hung up the phone, he received a call from Jian Jin.
"Who were you talking to on the phone for so long? I called you several times and you were always on the phone."
"a friend."
Qiao Nian doesn't beat around the bush.
"You want to talk to me about something?"
Jian Jin thought of something important: "Didn't I say last time that I would help you check that person? I found out something."
