Meeting you in autumn

"Guan Qing!" Chen Feng's voice suddenly came from behind.

Guan Qing subconsciously looked back and found that Chen Feng was standing behind her. She instinctively wanted to run away; she didn't know how to face him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng quickly stepped forward and grabbed Guan Qing, then clearly saw her red eyes, and his heart tightened immediately.

"Why are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Qing wiped away her tears and said, "No...no."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two fell silent. Neither of them spoke to the other. Chen Feng stared at her quietly for a long time before finally asking, "Is everything Shen Jia said true?"

However, Guan Qing did not answer him immediately upon hearing his words. Instead, she looked around and, as if she had made up her mind, turned to Chen Feng with tears in her eyes and smiled.

She bit her lip tightly, desperately trying to hold back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes, not wanting to show any vulnerability in front of Chen Feng.

"Chenfeng, do you remember the question you asked me before? You asked me if I had someone I liked, and I answered yes. Maybe you already know now!"

Guan Qing's voice trembled slightly, as if each word required immense effort.

"So... that person was me, right?" Chen Feng asked her cautiously.

"Yes!"

"Jiajia is right, but she's wrong about one thing. I've liked you since I was 13, for a full 7 years. I transferred schools when I was 17 because of you, and I took the college entrance exam in my senior year of high school because of you. But I never thought we would become good friends. But for me, maybe it's a blessing from heaven!"

Guan Qing took a deep breath and mustered all his courage to continue speaking.

Although her eyes were already brimming with tears, she stubbornly tilted her head back, trying her best not to let them fall easily.

"I was so stupid. I secretly liked you for a long, long time under the guise of being friends, so long that I thought we were already together."

Chenfeng, it's true that I like you, and it's also true that I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you. I've kept these feelings hidden for a long time. Liking you is the most serious thing I've ever done in my life.

I know that if I say this today, we might not even be able to be friends anymore, but I still want to tell you firmly, Chenfeng, there's a girl who has secretly liked you for a long time, hiding it from everyone. She really, really loves you.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Qing finally couldn't hold back his tears any longer and burst into tears.

Chen Feng was deeply moved. She gently wiped away her tears and whispered, "It just so happens that I like you too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Qing looked at him in disbelief, thinking she must have misheard. She asked uncertainly, "What...what did you say?"

Chen Feng pulled her into his arms, a smile playing on his lips, and said again, "Perfect timing, I like you too."

This time, Guan Qing heard it clearly. She excitedly hugged Chen Feng back, her face still streaked with tears, but a happy smile bloomed on her face.

At this moment, she felt that happiness had come too suddenly. She had originally thought that she would never let him know that she liked him, but fate is always unpredictable, and she had also paid the price for love...

Outside the Xinxin Villa on the other side, a luxury car slowly came to a stop.

After the car door opened, Jing Yi got out of the car gently and quickly, and then carried Guan Yu out of the car in a princess carry.

Guan Yu had his eyes closed and his face was slightly flushed, clearly indicating that he was drunk.

Seeing this, Lin Qi, who was standing to the side, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Miss, why did you drink so much?"

However, Jing Yi seemed not to hear Lin Qi's words at all, and without even glancing at him, he carried Guan Yu straight upstairs.

As Jing Yi reached the top of the stairs, he suddenly stopped and turned back to call out to the housekeeper who was busy in the living room, "Go and prepare a bowl of hangover soup."

After saying that, he continued to carry Guan Yu upstairs.

Upon hearing Jing Yi's instructions, the housekeeper immediately put down his work, turned around, and went into the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup.

Jing Yi arrived at his room as quickly as possible and carefully placed Guan Yu on the bed.

Then, he gently took off Guan Yu's shoes and coat, and pulled the blanket over her, the whole process was incredibly gentle.

Not long after, Lin Qi came in carrying a steaming bowl of hangover soup.

He said softly, "Young Master Jing, the hangover soup is ready."

As he spoke, he handed the bowl to Jing Yi.

Jing Yi carefully took the bowl of hangover soup that emitted a faint herbal aroma, and then gently helped Guan Yu, whose face was slightly flushed and whose eyes were still blurry with drunkenness, to her feet.

He brought the bowl close to Guan Yu's slightly open mouth, tilted it slowly, and let the warm soup flow into her mouth along the side of the bowl.

Guan Yu appeared unusually quiet and docile at this moment, unlike his usual restless self. Instead, he obediently let Jing Yi do as he pleased, swallowing every mouthful of the hangover soup that was handed to him.

When Jing Yi finally finished this series of actions and breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that there was another person in the room.

Jing Yi frowned slightly, glared at Lin Qi with displeasure, and said sharply, "Aren't you leaving?!"

Lin Qi, with her neck stiffened, replied without flinching, "No, I must stay here to protect my young lady!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi's anger flared instantly, and he roared, "Get out!! Get out of my sight immediately!"

However, despite facing Jing Yi's overwhelming aura, Lin Qi couldn't help but tremble slightly.

But when he thought of his young mistress's safety, he gritted his teeth, suppressed his fear, and stubbornly stood still, refusing to move an inch.

Seeing this, Jing Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he spoke again in a cold tone, threatening, "What? Do you want to die?"

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and made a move to walk towards Lin Qi.

Just then, Lin Qi, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, turned pale with fright and, disregarding everything else, turned and ran away.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the door, opened it, and fled like a wisp of smoke. Before leaving, he made sure to close the door behind him, afraid that Jing Yi would chase after him.

Just as Jing Yi turned around to check on Guan Yu, he suddenly heard a clear, melodious laugh like a silver bell behind him.

The laughter seemed to carry a hint of mockery and ridicule, as if it were a mockery of his fierce and menacing demeanor towards Lin Qi just now.

Jing Yi turned around, looked at Guan Yu's ambiguous smile, and said helplessly, "What? Sober now??"

Guan Yu shook his head, a silly grin spreading across his face as he looked at Jing Yi.

"Pfft~" Jing Yi laughed, moved closer to her, and reached out to pat her head.

He then stood up again and walked towards the bathroom.

When he came out again, Guan Yu was already asleep in bed.

Jing Yi smiled helplessly, then lay down next to Guan Yu, pulling her tightly into his arms, gently kissing her forehead, and then closing his eyes to fall asleep.

Day two.

Guan Yu slowly woke up and suddenly felt something pressing down on her waist. She looked down and found it was a hand.

Jing Yi, who was beside her, also woke up because of her movement. He said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

"Ah... Ah Yi, what are you doing here?" Guan Yu asked in surprise.

"This is my room."

"Ah!" Guan Yu immediately jumped up and subconsciously looked herself over carefully.

Jing Yi couldn't help but chuckle at her actions. "Don't worry, nothing happened last night."

Guan Yu blushed and glared at him, "Who's worried about that?"

Jing Yi sat up and ruffled her hair. "You're such a stubborn little girl."
