"Why are you still laughing?" Xi Shengsheng continued to scratch his head more and more embarrassed. "Am I wrong?"

"Well, yes, yes, but how old you are is old, and one year older is also old, so you are always a child younger than me in my eyes." I said it seriously.

It just so happened that the waiter came to the table with something ordered by Xi Shengsheng, "Hello, please take your time."

He was even more shy, and said shyly, "Editor-in-chief, you really know how to arrange."

"Hehe, happy cooperation, playful life..." I smiled, and solemnly extended my right hand.

"Happy cooperation, editor-in-chief." Xi Shengren's left hand rubbed against his waist repeatedly, and then reached out to hold me lightly.

"Well, I'll let my assistant contact you for the rest of the matter. I hope you can work hard." I encouraged him.

"Thank you greatly, thank you editor-in-chief, I will work hard." Maybe he was too excited, he stood up while talking, and said happily.

"Okay, don't be so polite in the future, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Lin." I got up and said goodbye to him. "Well, I still have something to do, so let's go first."

"Then sister Lin, go slowly." Xi Shengsheng waved to me with a smile, looking very excited.

I raised my lips slightly, showing a faint smile, and was about to leave.

"sorry Sorry……"

However, just as I took two steps, I was stumbled by a person passing by with my head bowed, and I took two steps back.

I shook my sore arm and complained, "Hey! Can you walk?"

"Sister Lin, are you okay?" Xi Shengsheng was also frightened by this scene, got up in a hurry, and was about to come over.

I waved my hand to stop him, shook my head and said, "I'm fine."

In order to maintain a good image in front of the juniors, I stopped swinging my arms and looked at the person who bumped into me.

But I don’t know if I don’t look at it. I was shocked when I saw it.

When that face overlapped with the so-called childhood sweetheart's face in Xu Yan's photo album, I was surprised to call out his name "Qin Xiao..."

Yes, the person in front of me who keeps saying sorry to me is actually Xu Yan's sweetheart Qin Xiao who has been missing for many years.

I never thought that I would be here today and meet him by such a coincidence.

"Lin Xi?" Qin Xiao obviously recognized me, he took two steps closer and asked, "Are you okay, I didn't mean it just now."
I didn't have time to pay attention to the gazes of the people around me, so I hurriedly asked, "Why are you here, does Xu Yan know that you are back?"

At this moment, I am delighted, happy for Xu Yan.

"Let's talk about it, Lin Xi." Qin Xiao bowed his head, with a sadness in his beautiful eyes, as if he didn't want the secret in his heart to be exposed, a little sad.

"Okay, here it is." I pointed to the empty seat beside me and invited, "Please sit down."

Qin Xiao let out a long sigh, shook his head helplessly and sat down where I pointed.

"Editor-in-chief, do you want to sit here?" Xi Shengsheng waved to me from the previous seat.

I shook my head and smiled, "No need."

The actor responded disappointedly, "Oh, okay."

In the coffee shop, there was an endless stream of customers coming and going, and the subtle voices and noises added to the atmosphere of my conversation with Qin Xiao at that time.I sat quietly in my seat, looking at Qin Xiao who was facing him who lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
This man was still the same as before, he was of the slow-heating type, he didn't like to talk, and he seemed even more silent than An Jinnian.

I still remember the scene when Xu Yan pulled me to meet him for the first time. At that time, he was also so quiet.

Xu Yan once told me that Qin Xiao was not like this in the past, but after suffering such a catastrophe, he suddenly became autistic and no longer liked to associate with others.

"Xu Yan has been looking for you all the time." I confessed frankly.

While I didn't know how to start this topic, my heart was already tilted for Xu Yan.I was hesitating in my heart whether to send a text message to Xu Yan about Qin Xiao's return.

I didn't tell Xu Yan the news that Qin Xiao had returned at the first time. After all, I had selfish intentions.

I have seen Xu Yan's heart-wrenching pain at the beginning, and I have also seen her own suffering.So, now I don't want Xu Yan to enter that situation again.

I would rather watch her walk out of Qin Xiao's shadow, and watch her start a new life with Yu Sheng's company, than she would be like me, clinging to one person and eating the bitter fruit all day long.

Xu Yan's affection is far above mine.

I know very well that if Xu Yan knows that Qin Xiao is back, she will definitely pursue him desperately, just like me back then.

"Lin Xi, can you not tell Xu Yan that I'm back?" Qin Xiao pleaded.

Qin Xiao's words surprised me.

"Why." Although he agreed with Qin Xiao's decision from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to let him off so easily. "Qin Xiao, don't you know how much Xu Yan has spent trying to find you?"

"I... don't deserve it." Qin Xiao struggled for a while and said in a low voice.

"Qin Xiao, I don't know why you came back to Jiangzhou this time. I just hope that you can face up to your feelings and give Xu Yan an answer. Whether it's good or bad, I hope you can make a settlement with your own hands." I looked at He said seriously, "Xu Yan has waited hard for you all these years."

I can't forget that Xu Yan who cried until late at night, came back with disheveled hair and braved the cold.Stumbling all the way, half madly murmuring Qin Xiao's name.

On such a night, she hugged me and cried heartbreakingly.

That kind of Xu Yan should love Qin Xiao so much that she would hurt herself to pieces over and over again.

If Xu Yan is a paranoid school, then I am a bitter school.The way we love people, the way we wait for people, and even the way we find people are all the same.

But we still keep the little beauty in our hearts in our own ways, and spend our days guarding the memories.

In the past ten years, Xu Yan followed the name Qin Xiao all the way to the ends of the earth.

And I, in the past five years, painted the ground as a prison, imprisoned myself in a small world, without seeing the light of day.

More often, I envy Xu Yan's bravery, she can always find reasons for herself to persevere after crying a lot.

I am the only one who lives by chanting An Jinnian's name, as if losing him is equivalent to losing the whole world.

"I know, but she and I... can only be destined to each other." Qin Xiao's eyes were filled with deep despair, and under the trembling eyelashes, there were tears that were fleeting.He closed his eyes in pain, and said in a very sad tone, "If possible, I hope you can help me persuade her more."

As if I felt the same, my heart was suddenly attacked by sadness, my nose felt hot, and I almost shed tears, "Qin Xiao, why are you doing this, Xu Yan loves you so much, and has been waiting for you for so many years..."

"I promise you, after finding out the truth about my Qin family's extermination, I will give Xu Yan an answer, but not now." Qin Xiao promised with a serious face.

"Alas..." I let out a long sigh, slowed down the volume raised because of my eagerness, and said, "Qin Xiao, there is a very good man beside Xu Yan now, if possible, I hope the two of them can be together. So , can you understand me?"

"I know." Qin Xiao closed his eyes again, sadness was written all over his face.

"If you don't plan to get back together with Xu Yan, then I hope you will never appear in front of Xu Yan. This is the only request I have for you as her friend."

If love is selfish, then friendship is undoubtedly selfish.The reason why I made such an unreasonable request to Qin Xiao is that I hope Xu Yan can let go of the past and start over.

Don't be like me anymore, floating in a relationship, unable to find a way out.

"I..." Qin Xiao hesitated, hesitating, as if he was fighting fiercely with himself.

"Qin Xiao, you should know that you can't have both. If you choose to give up Xu Yan and pursue the truth of your family's destruction, then I hope you can live a more open life like a man. Either change your life again. The way to return to Xu Yan's world, or let Xu Yan go and disappear in her world forever." This passage, I said it earnestly, and I kept giving myself thumbs up many times in my heart.

"I see." Qin Xiao stared at the desktop in a daze for a while.

"I hope you can do what you say, Qin Xiao." I looked at him solemnly.

"Lin Xi, after all these years, I didn't expect you to learn a bit of An Jinnian's coldness." Qin Xiao raised the corners of his mouth mockingly and said, "I always thought that An Jinnian would be the most ruthless back then, but I didn't expect you to be too. in this way."

"What do you mean?" I frowned and looked at him puzzled.

Qin Xiao quickly restrained his emotions and said, "I have found some secrets about the An family. If you are interested, you can come here to find me."

Qin Xiao took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to me, "In order to thank you for taking care of Xu Yan for so many years, the news is given away for free. As for whether you want to know or not, that's up to you."
I hesitated to accept the business card from Qin Xiao, only to see the words "Private Detective Agency" prominently printed on the first line.

"What are you trying to say?" I asked.

The topic changed so quickly, I was kicked out by Qin Xiao before I even had time to recover from Xu Yan's incident.

"If you want to know, come to me at the address below." Qin Xiao got up, his facial expression swept away the previous haze, he looked at me, and said lightly, "I heard that An Jinnian went abroad in a hurry five years ago, don't you want to know the reason?" .”

"Speak directly." I held the business card in my hand tightly, and my expression changed instantly.

"Lin Xi, I always thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Qin Xiao stopped. "When I left, I asked him for help, but he chose to refuse. On the face of it, I will give you the right to know the truth. But you have to bear the consequences."

The afternoon sun shines through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows into the spacious coffee shop, dimming the lights in the room.Between the toasts and cups, figures and shadows fell all over the ground.

Qin Xiao glanced at me slightly sideways, then walked into the aisle and quickly disappeared at the door of the coffee shop.
