The King’s Return

Chapter 297: Qiu Zongping and Yuan Xi Fanwai Ten Qiu Zongping×Yuan Xi Fanwai (10)

Views:

The driver tried to speed up the car as much as possible, but Yuan Xi still failed to catch the flight in the end.

After he arrived at the airport, he rushed to the check-in counter at the speed of a 100-meter race. Unfortunately, the staff told him that the plane had taken off, and the check-in counter was closed, so he could not enter the customs at all. Yuan Xi turned around dejectedly, and wanted to ask how to change the ticket, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Yuan Xi?"

The voice was deep and powerful, and it was clearly transmitted to his ears in the noisy crowd, which inexplicably made him feel at ease.

He turned his head, and just met Shang Qiu Zongping's deep eyes, and was a little dazed for a while: "You, haven't you returned to China?"

Qiu Zongping walked up to him with the suitcase and said in a low voice, "I'm waiting for you."

Yuan Xi: "..."

Qiu Zongping paused, looked at him tenderly and said, "I said I would stay with you, I don't worry about you being alone."

To be honest, Yuan Xi was a little touched by what Qiu Zongping did. After all, international flight delays would be very troublesome. Qiu Zongping was not obliged to stay, but at this critical moment, he decided to stay. Yuan Xi took a deep breath to stabilize her mind, looked at him and said, "Thank you. Let's ask how to change the ticket first..."

Qiu Zongping said: "No, I just asked, the special ticket cannot be refunded and changed, and the flight has already taken off, we can only buy a new ticket."

Yuan Xi actually guessed this result, but after hearing him say it with his own ears, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Not to mention wasting a ticket, there will be a lot of trouble buying a new ticket. If you can't buy it on the same day or the next day Wouldn't he have to stay in Bali for a few more days

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi hurriedly turned on the phone and said, "Let me check the nearest air ticket..."

Qiu Zongping said: "I have checked, and because of the news of the volcanic eruption these days, many tourists have returned to China early. The air tickets are very tight in recent days. There are no direct and connecting flights to major domestic airports. We want to buy again. , you can only buy tickets for one week later.”

"Can you only buy one week later?" Yuan Xi frowned: "Aren't we going to stay in Bali for another week?!"

Qiu Zongping nodded: "It seems so."

Yuan Xi: "..."

Unexpectedly, the butterfly effect caused by an accident would be so severe. He could not return to his country and had to stay in Bali for another week. In this way, the hotel had to be rebooked, which was really troublesome!

Yuan Xi rubbed his temples with some headaches, and was thinking about where to book a hotel, when Qiu Zongping said, "I've already booked the hotel, let's go back and settle down first."

Yuan Xi was startled: "Have you ordered it?"

Qiu Zongping said: "Well, I knew from the time that you would definitely not be able to catch the flight, so I booked a hotel in advance."

Yuan Xi: "..."

Not only did he stay, but he also arranged everything.

Such a vigorous approach is indeed the Qiu team in Yuan Xi's impression, and it always gives people a very reliable feeling.

The original disturbed mood, because Qiu Zongping was by his side, gradually calmed down—in fact, it’s not a big deal, it’s just that the flight was delayed for an extra week, and he is still on vacation, so returning back a week late will not affect anything. What's more, if you stay for an extra week, many projects that you didn't have time to play can also be rescheduled.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a lot more relaxed, and my face regained its vitality.

He took out his mobile phone and called the driver: "Hello, I missed the flight, can I trouble you to take me to the hotel?"

Because the driver was very sorry, he did not leave immediately after sending Yuan Xi to the airport, but went to the parking lot to wait, and if Yuan Xi missed the plane, he called him immediately, and he took Yuan Xi back to the city. After receiving the call, the driver simply made an appointment to meet, and Yuan Xi took Qiu Zongping out of the airport together.

The two found the driver with their luggage. The other party was obviously a little surprised. He looked at Qiu Zongping and said, "Didn't you catch your flight?"

Qiu Zongping gave a flat "um", but Yuan Xi felt a little embarrassed, because Qiu Zongping stayed because of him.

The two got into the car, Qiu Zongping opened the phone map, and gave the driver a new hotel address.

Yuan Xi was a little surprised. He thought that Qiu Zongping would book the hotel where he stayed before, but he didn't expect Qiu Zongping to change the place.

After driving to the hotel, Yuan Xi was even more surprised—because the environment here is so good, the road to the hotel alone can become a scenic spot, with two rows of neat green trees beside the road, lush and luxuriant, with the golden sun shining through in the evening. Sprinkled on the road through the gaps between the leaves, the mottled light and shadow sway with the wind, like a dream.

The entrance of the hotel is very grand, and there is a big fountain at the entrance. The driver was stopped by the security guard when he drove into the hotel, and the security guard did not let him go until Qiu Zongping showed the reservation certificate.

This is clearly a very high-end resort with great privacy.

The two came to the hotel lobby with their luggage. The lobby was very quiet and there were almost no guests. The beauty at the front desk smiled very kindly and was very efficient. After taking their passports and registering, they quickly arranged a room for them. Gave a room card.

Then a professional waiter took them to the residence, and the two got into a small electric bus. Yuan Xi realized that the hotel area is huge, and it takes about ten minutes by car from the lobby to the residence. The distinctive buildings, including villas, buildings and even beautiful churches, surrounded by trees and flowers, are like a paradise.

The car finally stopped at the door of an independent villa. The driver smiled and helped them unload their luggage, and then gave them a map of the hotel.

Yuan Xi stood at the door, looking at the single-family villa in front of her in a daze.

It wasn't until Qiu Zongping swiped his card to open the door that he couldn't help but ask, "Is there no need for you to book such a luxurious hotel? How much does it cost for one night?"

Although talking about money is quite vulgar, Yuan Xi was really frightened by Qiu Zongping's local tyrants.

Just looking at the appearance of this hotel, you can tell that it is definitely not an ordinary five-star hotel. There are several grades of hotels in Bali. The high-end hotels can hold celebrity weddings. The accommodation fee alone costs tens of thousands of dollars a night. The low-end hotels also have civilians. The inn costs a few hundred dollars a night.

Yuan Xi didn't expect Qiu Zongping to book such a good hotel, and he hesitated for a while standing at the door.

Qiu Zongping smiled slightly and said, "Have you ever heard a saying? Bali is a first-class hotel with a second-class sea view. When you come here for vacation, the choice of hotel is actually the most important thing."

Yuan Xi had indeed heard this sentence before, but at the time he made a decision too hastily and did not choose a hotel carefully, so he found a hotel with a high rating on the Internet.

Qiu Zongping explained: "I knew that when my uncle's family was coming to Bali, my sister had already booked a hotel, and suggested that they change to this place, but my sister thought it was troublesome, and the hotel she booked was also good. It’s close to the beach, so I didn’t change it.” He turned around and lifted his luggage to the door, and then said, “Actually, I lived here when I came alone last time. I think the environment here is better, so I want to bring you here Stay for a few days. The afternoon tea in this hotel is also delicious, we can try it another day. Anyway, it has already been booked, so you can stay at ease."

Yuan Xi scratched her head and said, "Then you can calculate the rent for these few days, and I will transfer it to you later."

This villa has two floors, and it should be a suite with at least two bedrooms. It is convenient for two people to move together. But the housing price is definitely not cheap, and Yuan Xi can't let Qiu Zongping pay for it.

Qiu Zongping was startled, looked at him and frowned slightly: "Do you have to be so polite to me?"

Yuan Xi said: "Brothers will settle accounts. It is enough for you to stay with me to show your loyalty. For the expenses of these few days, let's still use the AA system."

Qiu Zongping was silent for a moment, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, it's up to you."

He swiped his card to open the door, and Yuan Xi followed him into the room with his luggage.

The interior of the villa is very luxurious, the crystal chandelier in the living room is shining brightly, the floor is covered with a plush carpet, a glass table is placed on the carpet, and there is a very comfortable lazy sofa beside it. The sunny side of the living room is the floor-to-ceiling windows that occupy one wall. The light is excellent. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a very spacious private swimming pool. The water in the pool is blue and crystal clear. There is a glass shower room on the edge of the swimming pool and two deck chairs.

There is an open kitchen and a small dining room next to the living room. Yuan Xi walked around the first floor and went up the stairs. What he saw were two side-by-side bedrooms with King-Size super soft beds inside. There are floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom, and Yuan Xi was even more surprised that when she opened the curtains, she could directly see the vast sea not far away!

It's actually a sea view villa...

Looking at the sea in the distance, Yuan Xi couldn't help being a little excited.

Seeing the joyful expression on his face, Qiu Zongping's gaze softened involuntarily: "Do you like this place?"

Yuan Xi nodded immediately: "Yeah, not to mention the private swimming pool, every morning when you wake up and open the window, you can see the sea! The environment is really great!"

Qiu Zongping smiled slightly, walked to his side and said: "When I came here a few years ago, I thought that I would come again if I had a chance in the future. Living here, I can really isolate myself from the outside world and enjoy a leisurely vacation. I know you have been in a bad mood for the past few days, so next, you just relax and have a good vacation."

Hearing the deep and pleasant voice, Yuan Xi felt that strange throbbing in her heart again.

The reason why he likes Qiu Zongping is precisely because Qiu Zongping can always arrange everything properly, which makes him feel very safe. In fact, Yuan Xi was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. At such a young age, she left home to live a collective life in the team. At first, she was not used to it. But with a roommate like Qiu Zongping, Yuan Xi didn’t need to worry about many things at all—what time to start training, what time? When it's time to eat, when there is a meeting, and when I go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities on weekends, Qiu Zongping always arranges everything. Yuan Xi only needs to follow Qiu Zongping, and he will never make mistakes.

Probably because of the long-term dependence, he gradually fell in love with this person.

It's a pity that I like the other party but don't get a response, and I have made an oolong that everyone knows about, but I was rejected by the other party, and even my friends around me laughed at me because of this. This feeling is really uncomfortable. Yuan Xi couldn't bear it any longer, so he wanted to take advantage of the vacation to let go of this relationship completely and live alone.

He thought he could let it go.

But now, that throbbing feeling came out frantically again from the bottom of my heart.

Yuan Xi quickly took a deep breath to control her heartbeat, looked at the sea view outside the window and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while, you should pack your luggage too."

Qiu Zongping nodded: "Well, come downstairs and find me later, let's have dinner together."

Looking at Yuan Xi's slightly stiff back, Qiu Zongping smiled slightly, turned and left the bedroom.

In fact, there is another sentence that he didn't tell Yuan Xi—

When he came to this resort hotel for the first time, he had thought that he must bring his beloved one back in the future.

That's why he brought Yuan Xi here.

***

Yuan Xi opened the suitcase, took out the clothes to be worn in the past few days and put them in the closet, stood by the window and watched the scenery for a while, and then lay on the bed with all four limbs wide open.

The bed was so comfortable! The latex mattress is so soft that the whole body can sink into it!

Yuan Xi squinted her eyes contentedly, lying on the bed in a "big" shape, her whole body relaxed.

No matter what, Yuan Xi sincerely wanted to give him a thumbs up for the hotel that Qiu Zongping arranged this time. This is the real vacation, right

Because the bed was too comfortable, Yuan Xi lay down until dinner time, until a WeChat message popped up on the phone screen: "Go downstairs for dinner."

Looking at his watch, it was already five o'clock, and Yuan Xi stepped on his slippers and went downstairs.

He thought that Qiu Zongping would take him out to eat, but when he got downstairs, he saw sumptuous food on the table, two black pepper steaks, a plate of foie gras, a fruit salad, colorful balls of ice cream, fresh Fruit platter, and several plates of delicate pastries.

Seeing him go downstairs, Qiu Zongping smiled at him and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to wait if you're hungry, so I've ordered food in advance, so come and eat."

Such a gentle smile, against the background of the restaurant's warm lights, unexpectedly caused Yuan Xi's eyes to flicker for a moment.

Really, really handsome, when Qiu Zongping laughed...

Yuan Xi immediately looked away, walked over to sit down with some embarrassment, and said, "I'm sorry that you have to worry about everything."

Qiu Zongping said, "I'm happy to worry about you."

Yuan Xi: "..."

A simple sentence, like a heavy hammer hitting the heart, Yuan Xi heard the sound of his heartbeat suddenly accelerating.

Could it be that what Qiu Zongping said about liking is true? Otherwise, why did you treat him so well all of a sudden? Although Qiu Zongping treated him very well in the past, it felt different. In the past, the captain was responsible for taking care of the team members, but now, in this kind of care, there seems to be a little more... the taste of pampering

Yuan Xi was taken aback by her own thoughts, immediately lowered her head, and focused on the steak.

Qiu Zongping handed him the tableware, and introduced: "The western food in this hotel is very authentic. The chef is Italian. The fried steak is very delicious. Try it."

Yuan Xi cut a small piece and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately - this is the best steak he has ever eaten!

The beef is tender and delicious, and it is rare and delicious. The taste of smooth beef and black pepper sauce stimulates the taste buds, it is simply a kind of enjoyment.

Yuan Xi excitedly picked up the knife and fork, and quickly cut the steak.

Looking at the appearance of the other party eating seriously, Qiu Zongping's heart softened slightly. If you are good to the person you like, you will be very satisfied—he has never felt like this before, and he wants to share with Yuan Xi the best scenery he has ever seen and the best food he has ever eaten.

After Yuan Xi finished eating, she realized that Qiu Zongping had been looking at him, his gaze was so gentle that it almost melted him.

Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat, she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Qiu Zongping came back to his senses, then picked up the fork and started to eat the steak.

He had a serious expression on his face, he was wearing a shirt, and he cut the steaks meticulously, and the cut steaks were all the same size.

Is this some special skill

Yuan Xi couldn't help but want to laugh: "Looking at your serious actions, I feel that cutting steak is a very rigorous scientific research work. Is it necessary to cut it into the same size?"

Qiu Zongping was startled, looked at the beef of the same size on the plate, raised his head and said: "My sister also said that I am too serious and old-fashioned, and I don't have the youthful vigor like you. Maybe I have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. I used to cut potatoes in the kitchen. When cutting silk, it is always cut into the same thin, and I don’t even notice it.”

Yuan Xi was a little surprised: "Really? You can also cook!"

Qiu Zongping nodded: "Well, I know a little bit, I learned cooking from my sister."

Yuan Xi understood: "You and your sister have a good relationship, right?"

Qiu Zongping nodded: "Well, when my sister was in middle school, in order to facilitate the exam, she boarded with me for a period of time. We also grew up together, similar to real siblings."

After a pause, he asked again, "What about you? Are there any brothers and sisters at home?"

He didn't know the situation of Yuan Xi's family before, because when he was in the team, everyone only cared about the game and didn't care much about the family situation or personal relationship of the players. But now, he suddenly wanted to know more about Yuan Xi, and wanted to know what kind of environment Yuan Xi grew up in.

Yuan Xi didn't think too much about it. Now that he was talking about this topic, he said directly: "I have a big brother who treats me very well. But he is a typical business mind and doesn't care much about other things. He studies stocks and investment every day. What, I don't understand anything about what he studied."

While talking, the phone rang suddenly, Yuan Xi looked at the caller ID, her face was a little embarrassed, she went to the side to answer the phone, her tongue was almost tied: "Big brother..."

Yuan Cheng's voice was frighteningly cold: "What's the matter with you? How could the flight be delayed?"

When Yuan Xi came back from the airport in the afternoon, she sent a message to her eldest brother, saying that her flight was delayed and she had to stay in Bali for an extra week. Yuan Cheng was probably in a meeting at the time, and he didn't see the news until now, so he called immediately. Yuan Xi was a little afraid of this big brother, her voice couldn't help but quiet down, and she said with a guilty conscience: "On the way to the airport, the driver accidentally collided with a motorcycle and was delayed for a long time, so I missed the plane..."

Yuan Cheng frowned slightly: "Are you okay?"

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "It's all right, I'm not injured, and the mother and child who were hit were not seriously injured. I paid for their medical expenses, and the matter has been resolved."

Yuan Cheng felt relieved, and said, "It's good that you're fine. Anyway, you're on vacation, so it's okay to stay for another week. Do you want me to book a ticket for you when you come back?"

Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry, everything is ordered."

Yuan Cheng continued to ask: "Is pocket money enough?"

Seeing Qiu Zongping looking over, Yuan Xi blushed: "Enough is enough! I am an adult, can you stop looking at me like a child!"

Yuan Cheng shrugged disdainfully: "Oh, I think your IQ is no different from that of a child."

Yuan Xi: "..."

Yuan Cheng continued: "Don't lose yourself, I don't want to issue a missing person notice through the embassy abroad, then you will be famous all over the country."

Yuan Xi: "I hung up the phone!"

He hung up the phone angrily, only to find that Qiu Zongping had a smile on his lips, obviously he heard it.

Yuan Xi explained: "My eldest brother is like this, mother-in-law and mother, always worried about me, saying that I am a child's IQ..."

There was still a smile in Qiu Zongping's eyes, and he said: "He dotes on you, right? Listen to his tone, although he is mocking you on the surface, he actually cares about you."

Yuan Xi scratched her head, a little embarrassed: "That's right, he is ten years older than me, and he watched me grow up. In fact, my father doesn't care much about me, but my brother cares more."

There is a brother who is ten years older and loves him very much. It is no wonder that Yuan Xi's temper is so straightforward, fearless, and occasionally a little irritable.

Obviously a spoiled child.

But it doesn't matter, Qiu Zongping is happy to continue pampering him.

***

After dinner, Qiu Zongping proposed to go for a stroll by the seaside. Yuan Xi actually wanted to go for a walk, so she readily agreed.

The two changed their clothes, and after coming out of the villa, they walked down the stone steps to the beach.

The sand here is white and soft, completely different from what Yuan Xi saw on the public beach a few days ago. Apparently, this hotel has proudly reserved a seaside area and made it a private beach, because outsiders can't come in, so this The sandy beach is kept very clean.

It was evening at this time, and the golden sunset hung above the sea, casting a soft halo on the beach.

There are not many people on the hotel's private beach, only a few guests, a couple walking hand in hand not far away, a young man is lying on a deck chair listening to music with headphones on, and there are two hot Hot foreign beauties lie directly on the beach and sunbathe...

People looked extremely leisurely and relaxed, which made Yuan Xi feel relaxed. Standing by the beach, he stretched his waist, looked at the golden sea in the distance, and said with a smile: "Today's sunset is the same as that day with me." It feels very different to see it.”

Qiu Zongping walked up to him and asked, "You mean, the day you watched the sunset with Yingying?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "Well, Yingying is a very good girl, she has seen a lot and taught me a lot of knowledge."

Qiu Zongping asked: "Do you like her?"

Yuan Xi blurted out: "I'm just good friends with her." After a pause, she couldn't help frowning, and looked back at Qiu Zongping angrily, "Who do you think I am? If you like this today, you'll love me tomorrow." Can you just fall in love with the other one? My feelings are not that cheap."

Qiu Zongping immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

Yuan Xi didn't continue this unpleasant topic, turned around, took off her shoes, and walked slowly along the beach barefoot.

He didn't want to discuss these things, the scenery in front of him was so beautiful, why bother to make himself unhappy, wouldn't it be good to have a good look at the sea and take a walk? Stepping on the soft sand is very comfortable, just like a massage. Yuan Xi walked on the beach barefoot, leaving Qiu Zongping behind.

However, Qiu Zongping quickly caught up with him, walked side by side, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I didn't mean to question your relationship with Yingying, it's just that you were so happy when you were with her, Every time I see it, I feel very uncomfortable... maybe, this is called jealousy."

jealous

Yuan Xi could not help but stop: "What are you talking about?"

Qiu Zongping also stopped, turned his head and looked at the other person gently: "Do you know when I realized that I like you?"

like? Yuan Xi stared blankly at Qiu Zongping, and before he could answer, he continued: "I think I should thank Yingying, if it wasn't for Yingying's appearance, I didn't know, so I would mind you so much With someone else."

Yuan Xi: "..."

Qiu Zongping looked away, looked at the golden sea in the distance, and said in a low voice: "When you were in the team, you were always with me. We went in and out together every day, and we were together day and night. I am used to being with you. You are a partner together, so I have always subconsciously thought that I only regard you as a teammate and partner. When you confessed to me, I really never thought that I would like you. I just think that I should like girls, no Maybe like boys."

"During that time, the results of the Yunxiao team were not very good. I was studying tactical ideas every day... You know, the alliance has such powerful commanders as Moshen, Sang Jun, and Nie. I was actually under a lot of pressure. I hope I can bring Watching the Yunxiao team get better results, and your confession at that time caused me a lot of trouble, so I didn't think carefully about how I felt about you at the time, I just chose the best decision for the team... That is to politely reject you and let you put all your thoughts on the game."

"Later, I have always used this principle to deal with the problems between us. I think that only when we return to the normal teammate relationship can we cooperate well in the game, and it is also the best for the Yunxiao team. I bring such a Thoughts, I have been euphemistically forcing you to let go. When you told me that you had let go, I believed it without a doubt. In fact, I made a big mistake, that is, everything started from the team, and I was self-righteous. Make choices for you, but ignore your personal feelings."

"That day, you kissed me after you were drunk, and I didn't know how difficult it was for you. I was very shocked. When you hugged me and cried, I felt distressed for the first time. At that time, I started Re-examine my feelings for you, maybe, I am not self-righteous and simply regard you as a friend, because I don't hate your closeness, even kisses that go beyond the bottom line, I don't hate at all."

"Later when I saw you in Bali, many things happened. When you were injured, I lost my mind for the first time. I was going crazy seeing you bleeding; when you were with Yingying, I lost my mind for the first time. This is the first time I realized what it means to be jealous, I wish I could rush over to drive that girl away... I gradually figured out how I feel about you, in fact, this is liking."

Suddenly a gust of wind blows, and the white waves beat on the beach, rolling up the soft fine sand and rushing into the distance.

The whole world seemed to have stopped, only Qiu Zongping's deep and gentle voice was clearly amplified in his ears.

"I like you, Yuan Xi." He looked back at Yuan Xi, his eyes were as bright as stars, "Sorry, I found out too late. If I didn't just think about the game all day long, I should have cleared up my thoughts earlier. Feelings, the relationship between us will not go to where it is today."

The sea breeze messed up Yuan Xi's hair, her bangs drooped down to cover her eyes, and everything in front of her couldn't be seen clearly, just like a hazy dream.

Qiu Zongping stretched out his hand, gently pushed his bangs away, looked at his confused eyes, and his voice couldn't help softening: "I've told you so much, just to let you know that my love for you is not It came out of nowhere, I want to be with you, and it was not an impulsive and hasty decision. I told you several times before, but you refused to believe it. Today, I made everything clear. Are you willing to believe me? ?”

Yuan Xi: "..."

He actually said so much. Since we met, today is the most time he has spoken to Yuan Xi.

From the beginning when the other party was only a friend, to the later change of mentality, everything was clearly and clearly organized.

How can you not believe it

Qiu Zongping has always disdain to lie, not to mention, he has no need to deceive Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi stared blankly at the man in front of him, his head was buzzing with the words Qiu Zongping just said.

He was suddenly at a loss, because he never thought that the serious and indifferent Qiu Zongping would analyze his heart with him so seriously. From Qiu Zongping's gentle gaze, he felt for the first time that he was cherished and loved by the person in front of him. That feeling, like a warm tide, completely wrapped his whole body, making him almost unable to breathe.

Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't respond, Qiu Zongping repeated: "Do you believe what I said?"

Yuan Xi immediately looked away in a panic, and stammered: "I, I believe, you, you don't like to lie..."

Qiu Zongping smiled: "Then are you willing to give me a chance? A chance to fall in love with me again."

Yuan Xi's tongue was about to tie up: "I, I don't know..."

Qiu Zongping said: "It doesn't matter, you can make a decision slowly."

Then, he suddenly stretched out his arms and gently hugged Yuan Xi into his arms: "Let me hug you, okay?"

Yuan Xi: "..."

The moment she was hugged into her arms, Yuan Xi's mind went blank for an instant.

The sound of rushing waves came from my ears, and the setting sun in the distance seemed to cast a gentle golden light on the whole scene. On the white sandy beach, the shadow of two people embracing each other is infinitely elongated by the setting sun.

Yuan Xi's eye sockets suddenly became sour.

The hug was so warm that he couldn't bear to push it away.

He once dreamed that Qiu Zongping was hugging him like this in a dream, but the scene in front of him was even more beautiful than the dream.

At this moment, the already disappointed and icy heart seemed to gradually regain its warmth.

The intense beating sound from the chest clearly reminded the owner—that feeling has returned.

The feeling of liking this person, the desire to be with this person, all came back at the moment of being gently embraced by the other person.

Yuan Xi choked with sobs and sniffed, buried her face in the opponent's chest, stretched out her hand, and gently hugged Qiu Zongping back.

Sensing the response, Qiu Zongping immediately tightened his arms gradually, and embraced Yuan Xi in his arms.

—It's good to have you back.

— This time, I will never let go.
