If I have to force someone to describe it, it would only be despair and loneliness.

The two of them were as silent as statues until another bus drove by, stopped, and the door opened automatically.

The two of them remained unmoved like stone statues. The bus stopped for a while, then automatically closed its doors again and slowly left.

"Shall we go home?" Su Cheng raised his head, as if he could see the direction of home. The gradually darkening sky was dotted with stars on both sides.

He took a few steps forward and said in a calm voice, "They are still waiting for us."

Li Guanqi stood there, like a statue in the smoke, quietly watching Su Cheng's back in the night. Her thoughts wandered, and finally, she asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time: "Why?"

Su Cheng paused slightly, looked back and saw that Li Guanqi had not moved, so he walked towards her, gently helped her to sit on a chair at the bus stop, and then told her in the softest way: "It doesn't make any sense for you to delve into this matter."

"But I want to know!" Li Guanqi suddenly became emotional. Although his tone was gentle, his decisiveness and resolution deepened the blow to her.

At this moment, this was the first time she was so willful. She lowered her head, as if she felt that she could hide her increasingly broken emotions, but her uncontrollable shaking still revealed her true feelings and weakness.

"I... I really don't know what I expect..." Her voice became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into tiny sobs.

"Do you really want to know?" Su Cheng squatted in front of Li Guanqi, his tone very serious.

Hearing this, Li Guanqi didn't think much about it. She raised her head, looked at Su Cheng with tears in her eyes, and nodded without hesitation. She wanted to know what Su Cheng was thinking.

Even if she understood and knew it, it would not change the fact.

However, she still wanted to know, and this desire was so urgent that even tears came out. She tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn't resist the sadness. The pain in her heart had already made her tears burst out.

"I'll write it down in my journal for you."

Su Cheng spoke softly to her, and in the messy atmosphere in the air, his voice was like a solid wave. He took out a clean tissue and gently wiped away Li Guanqi's tears.

"Didn't we make an agreement?"

Li Guanqi tried hard to hold back her tears, but the flood of emotions broke through her defenses.

Finally, she finally lowered her head and stopped resisting. Tears flowed down her delicate face as she squeezed out a sentence: "Can't we just talk to Senior Gu? As long as... as long as we can convince her... I believe it can be done... it can be done..."

Her originally unique personality was swallowed up by the emotions at the moment and the heavy love.

Her reason had almost collapsed, exposing her powerlessness, her despair at the moment, and her fear that she could not change the course of events and would lose him, to the point where she made a ridiculous suggestion that was totally out of character for her.

"You need to calm down." Su Cheng responded to her plea decisively, and stretched out a hand to hold her shoulder tightly. His eyes were as dazzling as diamonds. "The system's evaluation of you is that you are self-respecting and not cowardly, you argue with reason and are calm, you have clear thinking, clear interests, and clear likes and dislikes. Look at what you are doing now?"

Li Guanqi was stunned by his yelling, but then she raised her head stubbornly and stared at him with wide eyes.

"As the heroine, you will lose fans if you behave like this." Su Cheng picked up the tissue again to wipe away Li Guanqi's tears. He continued, "Maybe right now a lot of fans are saying that your image has collapsed. So, you have to issue a press release right now, face all the problems head-on, and use self-deprecating methods to make fun of your own image collapse."

Li Guanqi was confused for a moment when he heard this inexplicable sentence, and then his emotions gradually calmed down. He said quietly: "I... I just wanted to pretend to be pitiful because of my evil nature, so as to soften your heart and temporarily make you give up that ridiculous plan, so as to buy time for everyone. In the end, we can unite everyone to deal with it together!"

"Wow~"

Su Cheng made an exaggerated and frightened expression, shook her head repeatedly and said, "She is indeed worthy of being the heroine. She is calm and composed, and has clear ideas. Many people have become her fans!"

His antics made Li Guanqi's expression depressed again, but Su Cheng prepared a way to turn the situation around. He stretched out a hand and grabbed her right hand.

Just as she looked up at Su Cheng blankly, the unexpected development caused her pupils to dilate rapidly and her breathing stopped instantly.

There was an extra ring on Su Cheng's other hand.

This ring looks exactly like Gu Ruoxue's ring!

Could it be... it is Gu Ruoxue's ring! ?

"This is the answer you expect."

Su Cheng held her trembling wrist with one hand, and with the other hand he pushed the ring closer to her finger, "This is new, it belongs to you."

Li Guanqi was shocked by his actions and was at a loss. Looking at the ring that was getting closer and closer, she was dazed and at a loss. She just subconsciously thought about keeping her index finger and middle finger tightly together and only lifted up her ring finger, fearing that he would wear it in the wrong place.

When the ring was about to be put on her ring finger, the excitement that surged from the depths of her soul almost overwhelmed her consciousness, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

The light from the ring shone on her finger, and the world seemed to stop spinning for that moment.

finally--

The ring slipped safely onto her ring finger.

The cold touch penetrated her mind, causing her to open her eyes suddenly. For an instant, her heart was filled with extreme joy, but there seemed to be a trace of fear left.

At this moment, a magical atmosphere filled the air around the two of them, holy and solemn, and the two remained silent as if they had reached a tacit understanding.

"Even though you will forget, I still hope to leave a trace in a corner of your heart, hoping that you will remember me again at some point."

Chapter 464 Gathering

In the living room, the sofa's springs reluctantly made a slight whine.

Because this time, Cornelia sat on the sofa with her cute white silk feet crossed and kept shaking them, staring at Liu Qingyue opposite her with sparkling eyes.

fortunately.

Liu Qingyue's disguise has not been discovered by the golden retriever.

Of course, so now Cornelia's little head is full of doubts. For example, why has Sister Su become younger and more beautiful than before?

For example, why did Gu Ruoxue appear in Su Cheng's house and go into the kitchen to work without telling her?

Furthermore, why would Ji Qingyi, the rival senior who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, come here?

The arrival of Ji Qingyi and Gu Ruoxue filled Cornelia's little head with all kinds of doubts. In the end, she couldn't help but asked questions with a puzzled look on her face.

"Sister Su, I have a lot of questions that I need you to answer for me." Cornelia asked Liu Qingyue like a slightly nervous but curious elementary school student, "How did you get to know them? Why did you all come to Su Cheng's house?!"

"Well..." Liu Qingyue leaned on the sofa, crossed her legs and looked at the view. Although her posture looked a little lazy and charming, she glanced at Cornelia with a smile and explained, "Our Su Cheng is going to participate in an important horseback archery competition. As the department director and president, they came to see him off. It's normal for them to have a meal together, right?"

"I see..." Cornelia nodded to indicate that she understood, and felt that this explanation seemed to make sense.

But she tilted her head and thought about it, and her curiosity immediately piqued again, "Where will the horse archery competition be held?"

"Hungary."

"Oh my God... How far do we have to go to compete abroad?" Cornelia looked at Liu Qingyue, pouting her lips and looking frustrated. Just as she was about to ask further questions, Liu Qingyue interrupted her and stood up, "You two sit down and talk for a while. I'll go help Xiaoxue."

Ji Qingyi, who was standing next to her, heard her maid call Gu Ruoxue "Xiaoxue" so familiarly.

Her brows suddenly frowned, but she didn't say anything. She just sat there alone, and no one knew what she was thinking.

“Sister Su!” Cornelia seemed to have turned into a little rabbit in an instant. She jumped up and grabbed her arm, shaking her and begging, “I want to help too!”

"No need, just look." Liu Qingyue declined her kindness. After a brief pause, she stared at Ji Qingyi, who was sitting beside her and remained quiet from beginning to end.

She smiled and said, "There are guests here. As the young host, shouldn't you do your duty and entertain them well?"

"Am I the little master?" When she heard herself being called "little master", Cornelia's face immediately turned red like a little apple, and her heart felt as sweet as eating honey. She nodded shyly and said, "Yes... so... is that right?"

"Good boy~"

Liu Qingyue smiled and touched Cornelia's long golden hair, made a gentle expression, then walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

From this moment on, only Cornelia and Ji Qingyi were left in the living room.

Although Ji Qingyi's face remained as cold as ice, her eyes suddenly flickered.

She stared at Cornelia and said coldly, "You and I are both guests. There is no need to entertain us. Please do as you please."

"How can this be possible?" Cornelia suddenly showed her powerful host demeanor. She said solemnly: "You are my guest tonight. I have an obligation to entertain you well."

This was indeed a matter of course in her eyes - after all, that arrogant Ji Qingyi had been her opponent. In her eyes, only the winner had the right to arrange for the loser.

Ji Qingyi: "Is it really appropriate for you to think this way?"

"Okay, it'll be ready in a moment." After saying this, Konilia turned around to get the tea set, and then began to busily boil water and make tea.

Her petite figure cast a bright silhouette on the window glass, making the whole scene very lovely.

However, Ji Qingyi did not appreciate the beautiful scenery. Instead, he kept frowning and looking at Cornelia.

She said word by word: "You, have never learned tea ceremony etiquette, nor joined a tea ceremony club, right?"

The reason was simple: the other party had casually poured too much tea leaves into the teapot, wasting the poor tea leaves and making her feel increasingly irritated.

Although she rated these teas as of average quality, she was furious at Cornelia's abrupt way of brewing tea. This was because these teas were originally purchased by Su Cheng to entertain guests.

"Um?"

Cornelia was stunned for a moment, looked up at Ji Qingyi, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"Let me do it." Ji Qingyi stood up, and her slender legs wrapped in black stockings walked forward gracefully and came in front of Cornelia.

She took the teapot and tea leaves from Cornelia and began to make tea herself, saying, "Not too much."

"Oh~"

Cornelia suddenly realized, and sat aside obediently watching Ji Qingyi wash the cup and brew tea... This series of actions made her dizzy.

After Ji Qingyi finished a series of steps, she poured the tea into the cups one by one steadily, then handed one to Cornelia and said softly, "Please."

Cornelia took the teacup, held it to her nose with one hand and sniffed it gently, then blew away the hot steam of the tea and took a sip carefully.

"Wow, it's too bitter, I don't like it!" Cornelia wrinkled her nose and complained unhappily, "It tastes so bad."

This made her disappointed. She originally thought that Ji Qingyi's tea-making skills could bring an unprecedented taste, but she didn't expect that the bitterness of the tea was still unacceptable to her.

Ji Qingyi's face changed, but she knew that it would be useless to say more. She felt that talking about tea with Cornelia was like playing the lute to a cow. So she could only silently pick up the tray and bring the tea back to the living room.

After she sat down again, she lowered her head and took a few sips of tea, then closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare quietness.

But Knilia came to her and sat next to her. Looking at Ji Qingyi sipping tea, she sighed and said, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a rest?"

Ji Qingyi ignored her, and Kenilia didn't care either. She still moved closer, looked at her and asked, "Are you friends with Gu Ruoxue, who is always in the kitchen and as cold as a refrigerator?"

"Not really." Ji Qingyi opened his eyes and glanced at Cornelia, then shook his head coldly and replied, "It's just an ordinary friendship. I won't harass each other for no reason."

“Hmm…” Cornelia nodded, looking like a beginner. After thinking for a moment, she said with emotion: “Aha, but this won’t work~”

"If you're bored, go to the freezer and get a carton of milk."

Ji Qingyi's eyes wrinkled slightly, her tone became more impatient, and she couldn't help but get angry.

Hearing this, Kenilia made a gesture of refusal and replied seriously: "Since we are all under the same roof, we should make money in harmony! It's too cold to be like you and her. It's not good."

This behavior made Ji Qingyi almost unable to bear it. She turned her head and stared at Cornelia beside her. There was a strong sense of oppression in her dead eyes. However, the next second, she suddenly turned back, lowered her head and continued to sip tea.

The whole process was as fast as lightning and as smooth as flowing water. She kept savoring the cup of tea that calmed her mood and filled her heart with peace again.

because--

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was suddenly heard, and Su Cheng finally came back.

Chapter 465 Ring

"It seems like they have been prepared for this..."

Ji Qingyi looked at Su Cheng and Li Guanqi walking in from the door and simply greeted her.

Su Cheng and the other person were not surprised at all, as if they had expected their uninvited visit.

But the most important thing is that Su Cheng could have pretended to be an accident, but he didn't.

Don't you want to pretend anymore?

Ji Qingyi understood a lot of information in just a short encounter. She withdrew her gaze with complicated eyes, then calmed down her emotions, picked up the teacup and quietly savored the taste.

Cornelia's attention was all on Su Cheng, and she completely ignored Li Guanqi standing beside her.

When she saw him coming back, she immediately pulled his sleeve excitedly and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were going to participate in the competition?"

"Didn't Li Guanqi inform you about this?"

However, Su Cheng's seemingly casual words made Ji Qingyi and Li Guanqi beside him pause for a moment to think, because they had not told Su Cheng about this matter at all.

In fact, the former was Liu Qingyue who deliberately made up the news of the competition in order to respond to Cornelia's questions, and only the people in the room knew about it.

As for Li Guanqi, she did not tell Su Cheng that she had informed Cornelia.

Su Cheng was able to infer the situation based on just a few words and responded quickly. His ability to evade judgment has really improved by leaps and bounds recently.

then--

For the first time, the two girls tacitly began to miss the former Su Cheng.

"You sit down for a while, I'll go change my clothes."

Su Cheng said this and walked towards the bedroom.
