A beautiful summer night

At night, Yao Qin woke up from her dream with a start, repeatedly muttering that someone was looking for her.

Liu Shubai accompanied her out, asking who was looking for her and where she wanted to go, but Yao Qin was stunned and couldn't answer.

This was Yao Qin's first episode of illness since the surgery.

Fortunately, he regained consciousness after half an hour.

Compared to before, this is already great news.

"How can I be outside in this cold weather?" Yao Qin shivered a few times and turned to walk back inside.

Liu Shubai: "..."

After exchanging a glance with Xie Qiyan, Liu Shubai took the initiative to take the blame: "Well, I wanted to ask you to get up and look at the moon with me."

The night was dark and windy, and there were hardly any stars to be seen.

Yao Qin looked up and around, seemingly guessing why she had come out in the middle of the night. She subconsciously glanced at Xie Qiyan, who was not even properly dressed, and smiled weakly: "It's cold, let's go inside."

"It's alright." Xie Qiyan held her cold hand, his earlier worry turning into encouragement. "You woke up in just half an hour, that's progress."

Xia Wanzhi heard Xie Qiyan praising someone as soon as she went downstairs.

When Xia Wanzhi turned over in the middle of the night and realized that Xie Qiyan was not there, and heard noises downstairs, she was startled awake. She guessed that Yao Qin might have fallen ill, so she rushed downstairs.

Realizing this was a good thing, Yao Qin's tense nerves relaxed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I think I heard someone calling me."

She used to have auditory hallucinations often, but she never remembered them afterwards.

But this time is different.

She doesn't remember how she got out, but she does remember the sounds and content of her auditory hallucinations.

Liu Shubai reacted strongly: "Who?"

Yao Qin lowered her eyelashes, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, and her eyes became somewhat unfocused.

So Liu Shubai knew who it was.

"You're a persistent ghost." As if in a fit of pique, Liu Shubai flicked his sleeve and left.

But after a short while, he brought over a glass of warm water and handed it to Yao Qin.

Seeing this, Xia Wanzhi hooked Xie Qiyan's hand with her little finger. With Liu Shubai there, they could rest assured. Besides, in the current situation, it seemed like they were superfluous.

"You still want to see him?" Liu Shubai's words pulled Xie Qiyan back from his departure.

Yao Qin snapped out of her daze, her left thumb tightly gripping her index finger. As if she had made up her mind, she raised her head slightly, her eyes resolute: "He owes me an explanation."

A specific explanation.

She had waited many years for this explanation.

Liu Shubai hated Xie Tianqi intensely. He hated that Xie Tianqi was a persistent ghost, that he tormented Yao Qin in her dreams every night, and that he had the right to make Yao Qin unable to forget him.

"What if this explanation is bad?" Liu Shubai's voice was a little hoarse.

As many people have seen, Xie Tianqi has changed his mind, stopped loving her, and committed the heinous act of abandoning his wife and children.

Yao Qin kept her eyelashes lowered: "Even so, there's a reason for it."

Liu Shubai suppressed a nameless rage.

That's why Yao Qin fell into chaos, depression, and schizophrenia, trapping herself in darkness.

Even though she was deeply hurt, she still believed that the man had a reason for doing such a thing.

She even felt that she had done something wrong.

But what gives Xie Tianqi the right?

He refused to see her, offering no decent explanation whatsoever; he didn't even have the courage to admit his mistake.

What makes him deserving of all her love?

"Then let's meet." Xie Qiyan's eyes were deep, and the words he uttered were icy cold. But when his eyes met Yao Qin's, he slowed down his speech, as if to comfort her, "Perfect, I also want to know."

I want to know why his attitude towards him changed so drastically.

I wonder if someone who can remain completely unmoved upon learning that Xie An is not his biological son truly has a heart.

Xie Qiyan's decision to allow Yao Qin to see Xie Tianqi was not impulsive. It was something he had been considering ever since Xie Tianqi had coincidentally seen Yao Qin at the hospital that day and asked to see her.

Yao Qin wanted an explanation.

Xie Qiyan knew.
