He was puzzled and asked Lai Xiaolan, who had always supported him. At first, Lai Xiaolan refused to know, but after seeing him depressed for a while, he couldn't help but secretly tell him the reason.
Only then did he realize that Bai Qianqiu decided to leave him because she sympathized with Gu Qingli and felt she owed him a lot!
He was angry and helpless, so he strengthened his confidence and sent Bai Qianqiu a bouquet of roses to the literary club every once in a while to express his everlasting love.
Bai Qianqiu thought that if a person like him who always stood at the top was deliberately alienated, he would not be able to bear it and quit. Who knows, but he became more and more attentive.
Finally, Bai Qianqiu agreed to Guan Hang's invitation and went to a restaurant for dinner together.
During the meal, Guan Hang finally asked her why she deliberately alienated him.
Bai Qianqiu silently rehearsed the words she had prepared in her mind, put down her chopsticks, raised her eyebrows lightly, looked at him seriously, and said:
"Because I think there are too many incompatibilities between us. And the senior must know the old saying, 'Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes.' This is what I am now. I am already afraid of being with you.
. An injury has caused me pain for more than a month, and I can’t use my arm until now. People like seniors are always surrounded by peach blossoms, so I can’t guarantee that something will happen to me again. Thinking of this makes me feel horrified, so I will never do it.
I risked my life to be with my senior. If the senior really cares about me, then please let me go for my safety! I thank you."
Guan Hang took a breath. If he hadn't tricked Lai Xiaolan in advance, he would have believed her words, but even so, his heart still hurt for a while.
He held her hand and said sincerely: "Qianqiu, don't have any worries, okay? I said that I will treat you well all my life. Now, I will add another sentence, from now on, I will use my
I will protect you with my life and will never let you be harmed again."
Bai Qianqiu took out her hand and raised her eyes to look at him: "Senior, you don't understand how far the fear in my heart has reached. I don't want to take risks! I think only people like Gu Qingli are willing to give everything for you.
I'll risk the world for you! But I can't. I'm not as infatuated as she is. I'm an ordinary person, and I can't stand the intimidation of others. And my family doesn't match yours at all. I just hope that I can live a normal life.
As long as I live my life, I have never expected to marry into a rich family and be rich and powerful. Senior, this is how it is between us! Don’t come to me again in the future."
She stood up and wanted to leave.
Guan Hang held her hand, feeling a little sad: "Qianqiu! I won't believe what you said! What kind of family mismatch! I never care about this! Are you saying this to push me to others?
?Are you really willing to give up?"
Bai Qianqiu turned her back to her, tilted her head slightly, and moved her eyes slightly. How could she give up? But she could calm down and accept all this, but Gu Qingli could not. She owed Gu Qingli her life, and if she had no way to repay her, she should give it to her.
Gu Qingli's love was returned to her.
Guan Hang thought her silence was acquiescence. He was a little disappointed for a moment, but said firmly:
"I don't believe that you are ruthless to me, nor do I believe that you don't understand me as a person. You do this just because you don't understand my sincerity enough. Well, I can tell you clearly that I like you! You Bai Qianqiu
, I, Guan Hang, will never let go."
After saying that, Guan Hang let her go: "I can stop pestering you, but you have to remember that you are mine. Okay, you go."
Bai Qianqiu's steps trembled slightly but she didn't dare to look back and walked out quickly.
Guan Hang sat back down in despair and watched her leave.
From then on, Guan Hang was still very kind to Bai Qianqiu, silently caring about her, silently sending her flowers, silently taking care of everything for her, but rarely bothering her.
He no longer made excuses to go to the literary club to look for her. Sometimes when they met on the road, Guan Hang's eyes were eager and he wanted to hug her, but he held back and left after saying a few simple greetings.
Bai Qianqiu sometimes thinks that it's okay to just leave it like this, since he will graduate soon anyway, and when the time comes, he will leave school and maybe he will forget her right away.
But when she thought this way, she couldn't hide the loss and sadness in her heart.
When Guan Hang's class was about to graduate, a piece of news suddenly came that was enough to cheer up the hearts of all the girls. Their dear Chairman of Guan University, handsome guy Guan, was going to stay at the school to teach!!!
Lai Xiaolan took Bai Qianqiu's hand and shook it, with a look of envy reflected on his face: "Qianqiu, it must be because of you that someone stays in school! I'm so envious, so envious!"
Bai Qianqiu was silent for a moment and couldn't believe it: "Xiao Lazy, it can't be because of me. The senior is so good, maybe it's because the school strongly persuades him to stay? Or maybe he likes this job?"
Lai Xiaolan curled his lips, neither refuting nor pointing out: "I don't know! Anyway, one of you two wants to escape, and the other wants to chase. In fact, the other party has each other in their hearts. Alas, love is destructive. You yourself
Think about it!”
Before the news had passed, Bai Qianqiu received a call from An Hong and asked her to meet.
Out of respect for her elders, Bai Qianqiu dressed up and went to what she called a high-end teahouse.
The tea house is low-key and luxurious, showing simplicity. After sitting down, Bai Qianqiu raised her eyes and looked left and right.
An Hong picked up a cup of tea and tasted it, glanced at her sideways, and then put it down gently.
He lost his previous softness and his attitude was very arrogant: "Why, haven't you been here before?"
Bai Qianqiu smiled shyly and looked around: "Yes, Auntie, this place is very beautiful, antique, and very charming."
"But Guan Hang comes here often." An Hong suddenly said this.
Bai Qianqiu didn't understand what he meant, so she just nodded in agreement: "Uh, yeah."
"So, do you have the heart to let him escape from this kind of life in the future?" An Hong's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"I, I don't understand what you mean, auntie." Bai Qianqiu stopped smiling. She was not a slow person. In fact, when she came in, she felt that the atmosphere here was not right, and An Hong's attitude was also wrong, but she pretended not to know.
, trying to fool around with innocence.
"You must know that my son Guan Hang will stay in school to be a teacher, right?" An Hong asked with a slanted eyebrow.
"I know." Bai Qianqiu nodded.
"Hmph, how much money can he make as a professor in a month? I'm afraid his monthly salary is not even one-half of his father's employees! But if he goes to study abroad, he will return home with glory and take over his father's industry or his own
Setting up another school is better than doing this! If he chooses to stay in school, he is destroying his future!" An Hong said sadly.
Bai Qianqiu nodded: "Everyone has their own choice. If Senior Guan Hang likes to stay in school, then this may not be a blessing."
