"Ugh, after Chen Nanxing passed away, I was afraid that my parents would be worried, so I could only pretend to be fine and go to work, numbing myself with work until I fainted that day. I was afraid that I would be like Chen Nanxing, just like that quietly.

of leaving this world.”

"Every night as long as I calm down, I can't help but think about her. My heart is blocked and my heart aches. Why? She is less than thirty years old. She is really the kindest girl I have ever seen in the world.

Don't they all say that good people are rewarded? Why are you treating her like this? I know I shouldn't impose these emotions on you, but you are the only one who knows Chen Nanxing here. I can only tell you this so that I can feel better. This

It’s the only thing I can do for her.”

Xu Hongdou seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and tears kept pouring out like spring water, crying until he was hoarse.

Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged Xu Hongdou tightly. Perhaps he was still immersed in pain, but Xu Hongdou didn't notice anything strange, and subconsciously put his chin on Qin Hao's shoulder, crying even more deeply.

Damai was coding in the room. When he heard the "wow" sound outside, he thought it was wind, so he sent a message to Nana: "The wind is so strong tonight."

As a result, Nana replied the next second: "Listen carefully again."

Before Damai could figure out the reason, Nana sent a photo directly.

In an instant, Damai rushed out of the room and secretly stood on the balcony to peek into the small courtyard.

"How's it going? Is it exciting?" Nana sent another message.

Damai responded with three thumbs up emoticons: "That's so exciting. So Brother Hao and Sister Hongdou have settled their feud?"

"More than just settling the old feud, I see, it won't be long before we are ready to eat wedding candies." Nana posted a snickering emoticon.

Damai replied to Nana: "Suddenly I felt like I was watching an idol drama. Sure enough, the love between a talented man and a beautiful woman is so eye-catching, but why is Sister Hongdou crying so sadly?"

"Don't worry about it. Don't ask Hongdou when you see her tomorrow, so as to avoid embarrassment, you know." Nana warned worriedly.

"Yeah, I understand, I'm going back to code."

After a long time, Xu Hongdou didn't know whether he had finished venting or was tired from crying. He gradually came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. He wanted to push Qin Hao away, but found that he was being held very tightly.

"You can let me go now." Xu Hongdou sniffed and reminded softly.

Qin Hao slowly let go of Xu Hongdou, but when Xu Hongdou suddenly broke away and wanted to escape, Qin Hao stopped him and hugged him around the waist.

"Xu Hongdou, I know you want to run away when you encounter a problem. You are a little liar!"

Xu Hongdou stared at Qin Hao and said angrily: "If you let go, you are the liar!"

Qin Hao ignored Xu Hongdou's struggle and pressed against her shocked gaze.

After Xu Hongdou reacted, she struggled even more fiercely. However, Qin Hao's hand around her waist could not be broken free, and her small fist hit Qin Hao without any pain or itch.

Gradually, Xu Hongdou felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and her brain seemed to be deprived of oxygen and slowly lost its resistance.

It wasn't until Xu Hongdou suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from her chest that she pushed Qin Hao away with all her strength.

Qin Hao's right hand showed a semi-oval shape, and he explained to Xu Hongdou with a slight embarrassment: "Instinct, instinctive reaction."

"Rogue!" Xu Hongdou glared at Qin Hao angrily and walked upstairs.

As a result, Xu Hongdou's face turned red when he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the corridor. He quickly climbed up to the second floor with a stamp of his feet, closed the door, and panted heavily.

Xu Hongdou subconsciously reached out to cover her face and found that it was unusually hot.

"This guy takes advantage of others' danger, it's so abominable!"

Lying on the bed, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but get entangled. After all, Qin Hao was the man Chen Nanxing wanted to confess to. If she dated Qin Hao, would it count as stealing her boyfriend from her best friend?

A night of silence.

Xu Hongdou heard someone knocking on the door and was about to cover herself with a quilt and go back to sleep. However, her cell phone rang again. When she saw the caller ID, she was so frightened that she lost all sleep.

"Just pick it up, what are you afraid of!"

After half a minute of mental preparation, Xu Hongdou pressed the answer button.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Xu Hongdou said in a deliberately fierce tone.

As a result, Qin Hao hung up directly and shouted outside the door: "I'm still sleeping. What time is it? Get up and have lunch quickly."

Xu Hongdou looked at the time on her phone and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock.

"Oh, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Hongdou was still struggling, and then she heard Qin Hao knock on the door and said, "Stop dawdling, things have to be faced, don't always think about escaping."

After hearing Qin Hao's departure, Xu Hongdou patted the quilt angrily: "Humph, you sound like you know me very well."

"What's there to be afraid of? I didn't run away!"

After a while of mental preparation, Xu Hongdou got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When Xu Hongdou went downstairs, it was already half an hour later. When she came to the small kitchen, Xu Hongdou realized that the food was not completely ready yet. Qin Hao had obviously calculated that she would wait for a while before coming down.

"Sister Hongdou, morning." Damai approached her with shining eyes.

This sudden enthusiasm made Xu Hongdou very uncomfortable. Thinking of what happened last night, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but feel his cheeks getting hot and could only respond mechanically.

"Morning."

Damai remembered Nana's instructions yesterday and didn't mention anything about last night. However, in Xu Hongdou's view, everything Damai said was about last night, because this child can't lie at all and writes about everything.

It's on the face.

"Well, Damai, let's change seats later."

While the tea was being served, Xu Hongdou quietly said to Damai.

Damai didn't think much and agreed.

However, when Qin Hao came to the table, he also changed seats with Mr. Ma and still sat opposite Xu Hongdou.

"Eat more of this lotus root to nourish your mind and calm your mind."

Damai also took the opportunity to assist: "Yes, Sister Hongdou, this lotus root was specially bought by Brother Hao from the market."

"Thank you." Xu Hongdou ate in small bites, always feeling that the taste of this meal was different from the previous ones.

After eating and drinking, Qin Hao said to Xu Hongdou: "When you are full, let's go out for a walk."

"It seems that I am doing the dishes today." Xu Hongdou finally found a reasonable reason.

However, Damai once again provided an assist: "I will wash the dishes today, sister Hongdou, you don't have to worry about it."

Xu Hongdou had no choice but to follow Qin Hao out of the courtyard.

The two of them walked all the way to the grassland by Erhai Lake. Xu Hongdou couldn't help but wonder if this guy really just asked her to come for a walk.

As a result, at this moment, Qin Hao stopped and sat directly on the grass. He also patted the grass next to him and motioned for Xu Hongdou to sit down too.

Xu Hongdou sat vigilantly within an arm's reach of Qin Hao.

Qin Hao didn't care and said slowly: "Have you thought about it?"

Xu Hongdou looked at Qin Hao with a puzzled face: "What are you thinking about?"

"You don't want to admit it, do you?"

"You, gangster!" Xu Hongdou realized that he had been fooled when he saw Qin Hao's vague smile. He angrily grabbed a handful of grass and threw it at him. Unfortunately, it was blown to the Erhai Lake by the wind.

.

"You have to be responsible for me anyway!"

Regarding Qin Hao's sudden behavior of being a rogue, Xu Hongdou was embarrassed and annoyed: "What a beautiful thought, why didn't I realize that you were a rogue before? Fortunately, Chen Nanxing didn't."

Mentioning Chen Nanxing, Xu Hongdou's mood fluctuated again.

"Chen Nanxing, can you tell me about her?"

Xu Hongdou turned his back and quietly wiped away the tears that fell from the corner of his eyes. After a while, he turned around, but his eyes were not looking at Qin Hao, but facing Erhai Lake, with a look of memories in his eyes.

"Chen Nanxing and I met in college. We were both majoring in economics and management. We had been in the same dormitory since our freshman year. There were a lot of disputes in the girls' dormitory. At that time, I didn't have a good relationship with several other girls and we often quarreled. Chen Nanxing

Nan Xing always acts as the peacemaker."

"At first, I thought she was a weakling because she had no temper and smiled at everyone. But then one time, I got into a fight with several other girls because of something. I hit three of them one by one, and everyone else was watching.

Only Chen Nanxing helped me pull one away, and then I beat the two until they lay on the ground. From then on, they never dared to mess with me again."

Qin Hao quietly acted as a listener: "You and Chen Nanxing became good friends later?"

"Well, although we won the fight, the three of them started to isolate me from then on, and even Chen Nanxing was on their blacklist. I saw how pitiful she was, so I decided to take her to play with me." Xu Hongdou

The look of "I'm very loyal" almost made Qin Hao laugh.

"Then later, we did all the things that college besties should do. We watched movies together, went to amusement parks together, and skipped classes together. And then, we graduated, looked for jobs together, interviewed together, got rejected together, and faced setbacks together.

, encourage each other together”

"Later on, we became more and more busy at work, and sometimes we didn't see each other for half a year, but we never lost contact. Although I am a few months older than Chen Nanxing, she has actually been taking care of me. Over the years, we have

Apart from my colleagues and clients, I don’t even have any friends with whom I can talk. She is like a light, always bringing me warmth and hope in the dark night.”

Qin Hao took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Xu Hongdou, comforting him: "Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable for all of us, so you should cherish the present and live happily with Chen Nanxing for the rest of his life."

Xu Hongdou opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Qin Hao suddenly pulled her up and shouted at Erhai.

"Chen Nanxing, Xu Hongdou will be taken care of by me from now on. I will make her happy!"
