After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

On the open-air balcony, Qu Qingzhu looked around until she finally found Qin Yunie. She was leaning quietly against the railing, lost in thought, gazing at the distant scenery. A gentle breeze blew past, gently ruffling her hair. The strands fluttered in the wind, as if whispering to the breeze, revealing her current thoughts.

Qu Qingzhu stood there quietly, looking at Qin Yunie silently for a while, then took a deep breath and slowly walked towards her.

"Yu Nie." Qu Qingzhu called softly.

"Hmm?" Qin Yunie heard the voice, turned her head slightly, and saw Qu Qingzhu standing not far from her, looking at her gently.

"You...why are you here?" Qin Yunie asked with some confusion.

"I saw you come out. You haven't been home for a long time, so I came out to see you." Qu Qingzhu did not mention that she actually followed her out and had been watching her for a long time.

"Oh, yes, I have been out for a long time. It's time for me to go back. Thank you." Qin Yunie said, remembering the eye contact in the box before. He couldn't help but lowered his head and wanted to quickly walk past Qu Qingzhu and prepare to go back.

However, just as she took a step, Qu Qingzhu grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Are you... okay?" Qin Yunie said to Qu Qingzhu in front of him with some surprise.

"If you have something to say, let's talk." Qu Qingzhu looked at Qin Yunie and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Talk...about what?" Qin Yunie pretended to be calm. On the surface, he looked very calm, but inside he was already panicking and extremely nervous.

"Let's talk about your ideal type." Qu Qingzhu said slowly.

"What?! Ideal type?" Qin Yunie widened his eyes and thought for a moment that he had misheard.

"Yes, that's right." Qu Qingzhu stared into Qin Yunie's eyes and said, "I recently watched an interview of yours. You said your ideal type is someone younger, fresh-faced, good at making people happy, and sunny and energetic. What about now?"

Qin Yunie no longer had the courage to look at Qu Qingzhu. Those ideal types were what she had said before she met Qu Qingzhu. Who could have thought that she would meet him later? If she had known earlier, she should not have answered like that. She coughed lightly and was about to explain.

Unexpectedly, Qu Qingzhu, who was originally standing, suddenly leaned over and came very close to her. After staring at her for several seconds, he asked in a low voice: "Do you like someone who can coax you? Do you like someone younger?"

Qin Yunie dodged Qu Qingzhu's gaze, not daring to meet his gaze. She remained silent, not answering his question. She was torn between two options, feeling that no matter how she answered, it wouldn't be quite right. If she said no, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? But if she said yes, would she still have a chance to be with him? Qu Qingzhu was clearly different today, and she felt like something had changed about their relationship.

Just like that, after a long while, Qin Yunie slowly raised her eyes and looked at Qu Qingzhu. She stiffened her neck and said in a tough tone, "Of course, I don't like people who can't coax me and always ignore me!"

After hearing her words, Qu Qingzhu smiled faintly and asked softly, "Why?"

When Qin Yunie heard this, she became even more furious. She said bluntly, "What do you think?" After that, she half-closed her eyes and stared at Qu Qingzhu in front of her, secretly competing with herself in her heart.

She still didn't believe it. What could he do to her? Besides, these were her previous answers, and they were just to deal with reporters. Why should he blame her? She had pursued him so eagerly before, and everyone around her could see it, but he avoided her. Now he was asking her about her ideal type. What did he mean?

At this moment, the breeze was blowing gently, and Qin Yunie's hair fluttered slightly in the wind. Her eyes were filled with both stubbornness and a subtle sense of grievance. Qu Qingzhu stood there quietly, looking at Qin Yunie, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Qu Qingzhu paused slightly, then nodded gently and said, "I understand."

Qin Yunie's body stiffened involuntarily. She opened her mouth and asked anxiously, "What do you understand?" She felt a little uneasy in her heart, as she always felt that what Qu Qingzhu understood seemed different from what she thought.

Qu Qingzhu lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Yunie. There was an elusive look in his eyes as he slowly said, "You like..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Yunie quickly replied, "You."

The moment she said this word, Qin Yunie's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She stared at Qu Qingzhu closely, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

Seeing Qu Qingzhu's downcast eyes, Qin Yunie took a deep breath, as if using up all the courage in her body, and said the words that she had not said before, word by word clearly and firmly: "I like young and handsome men, and I don't like people who treat me coldly or ignore me, but I still like you."

At this moment, Qin Yunie's face flushed, and her eyes were firm and persistent, as if she wanted to convey her feelings to Qu Qingzhu without reservation. Qu Qingzhu stood there quietly, with a subtle touch of emotion on his face.

She didn't care at all. She knew very well that if a quiet person like Qu Qingzhu didn't express his thoughts clearly, he would probably be misunderstood.

Sure enough, when she said these words bluntly, Qu Qingzhu was slightly stunned. He had never expected Qin Yunie to express it so directly.

In fact, before this, although he had some suspicions, he still didn't dare to fully believe it. Apart from the one time when he helped Qin Yunie, which was not a heroic rescue, the rest of his relationship with Qin Yunie was just a series of chance encounters in the bar and small gatherings with Gu Senyu and Du Zhong. Although he could see Qin Yunie's intentions at times before, he still didn't dare to believe it easily, and he didn't feel that he had the qualifications. Moreover, Qin Yunie hadn't said anything specifically. He had always been afraid that all this was just his "belief", but he didn't expect that Qin Yunie's words today would actually confirm it all.

Qu Qingzhu stared at Qin Yunie in front of him, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say. His eyes were filled with a complex emotion, as if he had a thousand words to say, but didn't know where to start.

Qin Yunie looked at Qu Qingzhu with an unclear expression. She paused slightly and said, "Forget it, I've said everything I should say. Let's go back to the box." After that, she turned around and prepared to walk towards the box.

Qu Qingzhu hummed softly, then walked past Qin Yunie and turned to walk inside. His steps seemed firm, but in fact, there was a hint of imperceptible uneasiness and nervousness.

Qin Yunie's body froze involuntarily. Was this really the case?! He just left without a second thought. Didn't he have any reaction to her confession just now?! This was too much! She felt a wave of loss and grievance.

However, what Qin Yunie never expected was that Qu Qingzhu, who had just walked to the door, turned back in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yunie looked at him, slightly startled, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

There was a hint of complaint in her tone. She felt that he had no reaction to her confession and did not know how to make a girl happy.

Qu Qingzhu looked at the listless Qin Yunie, calmed himself down, and then said softly, "Come over and comfort you."

His voice was low and coaxing, light and soft, like a breeze blowing by, which made Qin Yunie's heart tremble.
