The years are long

The Qin family is a scholarly family, and both Qin Fu's grandfather and father are university professors.The Qin family has three children, and Qin Yu is the third.The elder brother Qin Minghong chose the same profession as his father and grandfather, devoted himself to education, and has now been promoted to an associate professor.The second brother, Qin Mingtu, is the person in charge of a large domestic game studio, and the games he created have won many domestic awards.

As for why Qin Yu attracted the attention of the media more than his two elder brothers, it was because Qin Yu also owned a performing arts studio.Not only will Qin Yu play some friendly roles for Han Shutong's friends from time to time, but it is also said that the artists under his contract have been praised by Han Shutong.

Xia Xingshen didn't attract too much media attention at first, but after her relationship with Qin Yu was made public, she even provoked reporters when she went out on a daily basis.

Fortunately, when she transforms into a human form, she will pay special attention and always remind herself that she is a person.

At other times, she would relax a little bit, such as now, a ball of plush black and white meat is rolling back and forth leisurely on the sofa.When it couldn't move anymore, it stretched its limbs, stretched lazily, and then stroked its furry belly with one paw.

At this time, there was a slight movement of the curtains, as if a breeze gently knocked the curtains open.

The hairball on the sofa was still, and in the next second, a bright female voice was heard: "Little Panda, I heard that you and your boss Qin are getting married soon, why are you not moving at all?"

As soon as the voice fell, the meatball on the sofa turned into a puff of white smoke and quickly flashed to the center of the office. At the same time, Xia Xingchen's figure in the smoke gradually became clear from blur.

Xia Xingchen pushed his long curly hair to his chest, and the bright and enchanting facial features were not warmed by the sunlight coming in from the window, but the coldness suddenly appeared in his eyes, which was enough to make people unable to restrain themselves from wanting to approach His footsteps stopped in the middle.

She parted her red lips lightly, her voice was cold: "Ning Jingsheng, how many times have I told you not to suddenly appear in my office."

"Gee, I'm not going to come in when people are around."

The female voice just got closer, and the next moment a figure appeared beside Xia Xingchen.

Unlike Xia Xingchen, she was a woman with a bright smile and a mature and beautiful appearance.

Ning Jingsheng poked Xia Xingchen with his shoulder, and winked at Xia Xingchen: "Hey, answer my question quickly."

Xia Xingchen raised her lips: "I can't help you with cramp in your face. But if you want to be beaten back to your original shape, I can help you."

"Tsk..." Ning Jingsheng gave her a sideways glance, "Don't pretend, tell me if you're getting married."

Xia Xingchen didn't want to pay attention to her question at all, so he went to the desk to get a document, sat on the single sofa and prepared to open it.

Of course Ning Jingsheng would not be intimidated by her ignoring attitude, she reached out to hold the document in Xia Xingchen's hand, and said pitifully, "You are ignoring me!"

Xia Xing's Shen Yanye's soft and charming complexion seemed to be condensed with a layer of frost, and he calmly said: "What do I care about you? I told you about this a long time ago, the relationship between me and her is fake."

Ning Jingsheng trembled several times.

This panda can't do it, can it?Every time I poke her point, I feel cold all over.

"You really..." Ning Jingsheng was discouraged, and sat down on the armrest of Xia Xingshen's single sofa, "This time it's different, many people said that you are going to get married, but you didn't respond? What does your boss Qin say?"

Xia Xingchen threw the documents on the couch next to him, took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa.

"It's still the same between us. We won't be real, we won't get married, and I won't let things develop to that point."

Her tone was no longer so cold, with some slight sadness, but still unshakable firmness.

She can stay by Qin Yu's side for a long time, even if one day their false relationship ends, she will still accompany Qin Yu as a friend.She never wanted this relationship to be real, she couldn't let the possibility exist.

Ning Jingsheng lowered his head, just in time to see Xia Xingshen close his eyes, couldn't help but raised his head and sighed: "Why are you thinking so much? If you like it, you can go for it, can there be problems that we, the thousand-year-old monster, can't solve? ? It’s not that demons and humans can’t get married, there are quite a few couples getting married recently…”

She became louder and louder, and even pushed Xia Xingchen with her elbow, who knew that when she lowered her head again, she would see Xia Xingchen's cold face.

"No, don't look at me like that..." Ning Jingsheng smiled dryly and stopped pushing Xia Xingchen with his elbow, "Aren't I thinking of you? Look, if you don't marry her, then she I don’t remember you in every life, you have to find a way to get to know her every few decades, and she may not be willing to make friends with you. How miserable..."

Xia Xing asked in a flat tone: "Have you said enough?"

"Aren't I doing this for your own good?" Ning Jingsheng gritted his teeth, suppressed his hatred for iron and steel, and stretched out a finger to poke Xia Xingchen's shoulder, "Aren't you just worried that if the two of you are real? At that point, will she hesitate to accept the consequences? Just let her choose when the time comes?"

She felt that Xia Xingchen was thinking too much. The combination of demons and humans would affect the fate of humans, but it was still a choice.If it's really unacceptable, just don't get married. What's the matter with hiding it now?

Before she could finish complaining, Xia Xingchen frowned slightly: "I don't know how the demon you mentioned communicates with humans. I only know that I have no right to make Qin Yu face such a choice."

Ning Jingsheng jumped off the armrest of the sofa, and quickly retorted: "But you have the right to let her know the truth."

"This right can be regarded as non-existent." Xia Xing's eyes caught up, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were like a quiet ancient pool, "Especially under the premise that knowing it will affect her life in the future, she doesn't need to know."

Ning Jingsheng looked at her beautiful, flirtatious but unusually cold face, and felt extremely agitated, so he simply uttered: "You don't know if the two of you will make it to that point? Follow your own thoughts first. Can't you?"

"Where have you been living for thousands of years?" Xia Xingchen smiled, but the temperature in his eyes did not rise, "Even humans know that if you can't give someone a future, don't touch them."

Ning Jingsheng muttered, "I'm not human, what do I think for human beings..."

Xia Xing Shen heard the words, the palm of his right hand was facing upwards, and a cloud of black and white mist was condensed in the palm of his hand.Ning Jingsheng was so frightened that it turned into a cloud of white mist and dispersed in an instant. The words "I'm leaving, I'm leaving, goodbye" echoed in the office, and no one was seen anymore.

Only then did Xia Xingchen hold her hand, and the cloud of mist was buried in her palm.

But Ning Jingsheng's words didn't dissipate, instead they lingered in her heart for a long time.

If possible, she also wants to be like a human being, able to tell all the words hidden in her heart to the person whose every movement and movement affects her heart.Whether shy or bold, there is always a way to express it.

But she is not a human being after all, and she cannot let herself have the possibility of being tied to Qin Yu.When humans and demons marry, the originally short life will become long in another sense.

Still suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death, but all the memories will be preserved, countless times of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and countless times of pain and suffering.Repeated loop, never ending.

Some of what Ning Jingsheng said was right, if he hadn't reached that point yet, how would he know if he would develop to that point.But once there is a chance to start, there will be a possibility to reach that step. How can she selfishly let Qin Yu suffer such a fate?

Xia Xingshen, who was aroused by Ning Jingsheng's words, was tense. Just as she was about to use the document to divert her attention, she heard a notification tone from the phone on the desk.

It was a WeChat message from Qin Yu: "Is it convenient to have dinner at my parents' house on weekends?"

Xia Xingshen was about to reply, when another message popped up from Qin Kuo: "It's not appropriate for me to have not met my parents since the relationship has been made public for so long."

This reason was exactly what Xia Xingchen thought of. She tapped the screen a few times and replied "Yes".

Qin Yu on the other side of the screen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this reply.

It was as if a small sapling was slowly growing in her heart, and since she had thoughts beyond friendship towards Xia Xingchen, this seed had been buried in her heart.She wanted to try to make it grow, to grow into a towering tree with lush branches.

On Saturday afternoon, Qin Yu's car parked outside Xia Xingchen's small villa.

This was the first time she brought Xia Xingshen to meet her parents, and she remembered the first time she met Xia Xingshen.The glimpse of that year made her never imagine that today they will face everyone as lovers.

About four years ago, she met Xia Xingshen at a charity gala.At that time, Xia Xingchen was not alone, but attended with the well-known actor Ning Jingsheng. Out of courtesy to Ning Jingsheng, Qin Yu took the initiative to say hello to Ning Jingsheng.

She remembered that when Ning Jingsheng turned around, Xia Xingchen who was beside him stopped at the same time.Xia Xingchen was wearing a black evening dress that day, his tall and eye-catching figure was perfectly outlined, glamorous and compelling.

Ning Jingsheng warmly shook hands with Qin Yu: "I have been friends with Miss Qin for a long time, and today I finally meet."

Ning Jingsheng pulled Qin Yan's gaze back, and smiled gently: "I have also admired Miss Ning for a long time, and it is a great honor to meet you today."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Xingchen again. Before she could speak, Ning Jingsheng smiled: "Miss Qin has been looking at my friend, is it an old acquaintance?"

Ning Jingsheng's smile carried a hint of ridicule, as if watching a good show.

At this time, Qin Yu finally felt what Ning Jingsheng's "unrestrained, no taboos" in Ning Jingsheng's style commentary meant.To be able to accompany Ning Jingsheng to this kind of occasion as a friend, they must have a close relationship. Coupled with the current situation, it is obvious that Ning Jingsheng is very clear that the two do not know each other.

"No." Qin Yu smiled generously, without hiding the surprise in his eyes, and said softly to Xia Xing, "It's because this lady is very beautiful, I couldn't help but look at it for a while longer."

She originally thought that Xia Xingchen would ignore her, or just give her a polite nod, but Xia Xingchen took a step forward and extended his hand to her: "Hello, my name is Xia Xingchen."

Just like Qin Kuang didn't expect Xia Xingchen to respond like this, what she didn't even expect was that she and Ning Jingsheng would meet at some event sites every now and then, and Ning Jingsheng would always have Xia Xingchen by his side.

Over time, Qin Yu and Xia Xingchen had a private relationship.Two years ago, their one-on-one meeting was captured by the media, and then scandals spread.

Until now, Qin Yu still remembers that Xia Xingshen turned to her that day and asked, "What are you going to do?"

At that time, she looked at Xia Xing's face in the sun, her heart beating like a drum, and finally she couldn't help but probed: "Can you not deny our relationship? Many media suspect that I haven't let go of my ex, including my parents. I've been worried that I won't be able to let go, but I don't have any plans to start a relationship right now."

"So, you need me as a shield?" Xia Xingshen narrowed his eyes, nodded after thinking for a while, "It seems that the frequency of our meetings will rise sharply in the future."

This shield is two years at a time.

Qin Yu knew very well that it wasn't that she didn't intend to start a relationship, but that she was worried that she didn't have enough reasons to persuade Xia Xingchen to agree to it.

The sound of the co-pilot's door being opened startled Qin Yu, who was stuck in memory, she turned her head and saw that it was Xia Xingshen who got into the car.

Xia Xingshen put the gift bag in the back seat first, then looked up at her while fastening her seat belt: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Qin Yu looked at Xia Xingchen quietly for a few seconds, then smiled suddenly: "It's nothing, I just remembered when we first met."

Xia Xingchen turned his head to look at her: "Huh? What happened at that time?"

"I think of my luck at that time." Qin Kuang's lips curled up, and he smiled softly: "If I hadn't looked around that day, I wouldn't have seen Miss Ning. If I hadn't gone to say hello to Miss Ning, I wouldn't have had the chance to know you gone."

If you think about it carefully, if you miss the encounter that day, even if you have a chance in the future, you will be in a hurry, not as leisurely as that day.

Xia Xing was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned soft, "No way. Even if we miss that day, we will still know each other."

Qin Kui tapped lightly on the steering wheel with his fingers, pondered and said with a smile: "That's right. We've met so many times since that time, no matter how busy we are, we'll get to know each other more."

Xia Xingchen just smiled lightly and didn't respond.

It was an encounter she carefully arranged, and even if she missed that one, there would be many times in the future.No matter how many forks in the road there may be, the destination is still there.

The author has something to say: The secret is revealed, Xia Xingshen is a panda spirit.

Then explain that pandas and red pandas are different types, and Ning Jingsheng calling her "little panda" is just an intimate name.
