"Well?" He responded immediately, chuckled against the back of her neck, and immediately retorted, "Who said I fell asleep?"
The low and scornful voice, the carefree attitude, and the warm breath spraying on the back of her neck made Tong Yao move uncomfortably, and an inexplicable embarrassment filled her face.
"Qin Qiaotian!" She cleared her throat and pushed him hard, then said in a deliberately evil voice, "Stop being such a rogue! Go away and don't take advantage of me!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I took advantage of you... you can take advantage of me too!" As if agreeing with her words, Qin Qiaotian simply tightened his arms and pressed her whole body into his arms.
Greedily absorbing the warmth that belongs to her, and at the same time passing on her own body temperature.
Tong Yao's body froze, and the next second he suddenly started struggling violently - through the darkness, she could feel his seriousness... And obviously, his seriousness was what made her panic!
"Tong Yao!" Feeling her sullenness, he relaxed his arms a little, but still didn't let her leave his arms, "Don't move yet, I have something to tell you!"
Now that she feels he is serious!
Then he would simply take it seriously!
"When I was young, my grandpa told me that I would marry you when I grow up! At that time, I didn't know what marrying you meant. I even thought it was bullying you, so at that time, I always treated you badly..." He murmured
Sighing softly, the sound seemed low and distant in the silent space, which made Tong Yao's heart tremble, remembering those forgotten scenes.
"Gradually, I grew up, and the idea of marrying you was like a sapling, growing and sprouting in my mind, and it became deeply rooted." Qin Qiaotian said word by word, slowly and seriously, "Tong Yao, actually I am very petty.
Once you have an idea, you can never change it..."
Of course she knew what he was going to say!
"Qin Qiaotian!" She interrupted him hastily, escaping in her usual way these days, "I'll go to the kitchen to get something to drink."
"Tong Yao!" He stopped her with a low voice, grabbed her wrist and dragged her whole body into his arms again, determined to say it out today, "...are we together?"
After experiencing the vicissitudes of life, the two of them were left to depend on each other... Isn't this the reason for them to be together?
His eyes were full of affection, shining brightly in the flickering candlelight, but Tong Yao's face was troubled. After hesitating for a long time, he muttered dullly: "Qin Qiaotian, I've had a
child……"
She is no longer the Tong Yao he saw back then!
She is a person with a "past"!
She has had boyfriends and children, and there have also been times when she was completely defeated and her reputation was in disrepute... How could she be worthy of him?
"I know" his tone was calm, without any waves in his voice
That child is gone, isn't it?
Now that it's gone, they can start over...
This kind of deep-rooted love, this kind of dream that has been destined since childhood cannot be easily transferred... If he wants her, he will accept her completely and with a past!
"But..." She hesitated and wanted to refuse, but when she met his expectant eyes, she was momentarily speechless.
The confrontation lasted for several minutes. It wasn't until the power in the apartment building was restored and the fluorescent lights in the room flickered back on that Tong Yao woke up, pushed him away and jumped off the sofa.
"I have to go for an interview tomorrow. I have to pack my luggage first!" She ran into the room in a panic, but he caught up with her at the door.
He stretched his slender arms against the door frame and blocked her way. He sighed helplessly: "Tong Yao, don't keep hiding! I don't know when the next time I will have the courage to speak out..."
As soon as the light came on, he seemed to put on his heartless mask again. He was really afraid of being in front of her. He had to pretend to be this indifferent and relaxed look all his life...
"Qin Qiaotian..." She murmured helplessly, lowering her head and not daring to look directly into his eyes.
He paused for two seconds, and finally, before she responded, he suddenly leaned over, kissed her red lips directly, clasped the back of her head and brought her body closer to his arms, sucking her sweetness wantonly, but he couldn't pry her away.
Open her teeth...
"Tong Yao..." He finally let her go in defeat, turned back to the sofa, picked up his bag and walked out.
"Hey!" When he reached the threshold, Tong Yao suddenly stopped him, still standing in the same position, biting his lower lip and paused for a second, then quietly said, "I'll give it to you when I come back.
An answer, okay?"
She admitted she was shaken!
The moment she saw Qin Qiaotian's loneliness, she couldn't tell whether it was sympathy or emotion. Anyway, she couldn't bear it anymore... He has been by her side these days...
It is very easy for a woman to be moved when she is tired.
"Really?" Qin Qiaotian's eyes lit up and he turned around happily, "Tong Yao, are you serious? I'll wait for you to come back! I will definitely wait for you to come back!"
Tong Yao nodded. She wanted to finish the interview first, and then maybe come back, accept a new relationship, and have a plain and comfortable life... But this time she went to Venice...
Who knows what changes will happen to that place in southern Europe?
