047 Still caring
Qiu Yan's eyes looked at the playground and then at the starry sky above the playground.
"If Xiao Tian is really an inescapable calamity in your life, I am willing to help you escape this calamity, even if you still don't choose me in the end. β
She turned her head to look at Qiu Yan beside her: "Why?"
Qiu Yan withdrew his eyes looking at the starry sky and turned his head to look at her.
Seeing the incomprehension in her eyes, he smiled a little bitterly and was a little helpless: "Because you are also a tribulation in my life, only by helping you pass the tribulation of Xiao Tian can I pass this tribulation of you." β

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the city receives its first snow of the year. The snow came much later than usual, but it was unusually hearty. The snow falling from the sky makes the city appear a beautiful scenery covered in silver and pure as the world.
The snow has also made many people feel better. Especially today is Friday, so that the mood of office workers is particularly released, and it is really a good day and a beautiful scenery to say that it is a good day.
Since that night of painful growth, the relationship between Caiyue and Qiu Yan has become a little ambiguous, just as the snow suddenly changed the gloom and indifference of the city. The two would often unconsciously look at each other in front of the people in the company, and then look at each other and smile, although she still only refused to call him Qiu by his name.
On such a romantic night with snowflakes, Qiu Yan of course asked Caiyue to spend the weekend together. The two entered a very elegant Chinese restaurant and sat down by the window.
"How is your mother's health?"
"It's okay, but in general, some of my mother's physical function indicators are slowly deteriorating, and the doctor recommends that it is best to have a kidney transplant as soon as possible. β
"In that case, why don't you have surgery as soon as possible? The cost of surgery should be no problem for you, is it a problem with the source of the kidney?"
"Well, I secretly did a match, and my mother and I didn't match one of the key indicators. Also, my mother has always resisted kidney transplantation, she is very stubborn, and I have to find a way to slowly do her ideological work. β
"I can't help you much with your mother's ideological work, but I can contact my friends who have met in some institutions to arrange for your mother's kidney source for the operation. β
"Really?" Cai Yue suddenly became excited.
"Of course. If it doesn't work at home, I can also try to contact overseas. You know that there is still a very conservative approach to organ donation in China, and many people are usually reluctant to donate. But abroad the situation is much better. β
"That's troublesome Mr. Qiu. Cai Yue thanked Qiu Yan from the bottom of her heart, this question had been bothering her and made her feel very heavy.
"Caiyue, in the company, you can call me Mr. Qiu, but in private, can you call me that way?"
This was at least the third time Qiu Yan had asked her to call him by his name. Although she and Qiu Yan hugged each other, and even Qiu Yan kissed her forehead, she just didn't give in to the title. Because that means that she really recognizes that the relationship between her and Qiu Yan is not just a boss and a secretary.
She didn't know how to reply to Qiu Yan. She felt that she couldn't refuse Qiu Yan anymore, but in her heart she still felt that there was something holding her back, making it difficult for her to really take this step with Qiu Yan.
Her eyes glanced out the window at the white world.
The white snow outside the window changes color like a dream under the neon of the urban night, and it looks more dazzling, but it also loses its pure whiteness. Caiyue, on the other hand, felt that only the single and pure white of the snow was the most beautiful.
Seeing that Cai Yue in front of him suddenly lost his mind after hearing his request, Qiu Yan felt a little sour in his heart.
It is said that falling out of love makes people grow. In just a few months, she seems to have completed a transformation like a chrysalis butterfly, fading some of her youthfulness and adding a layer of feminine charm that makes men feel excited. It's like the jade has been polished to remove the impurities on the outside, revealing the heart-warming warmth inside.
Qiu Yan felt that he was more and more attracted to her.
"Caiyue, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's nothing!" Caiyue's mind was recalled by Qiu Yan, she lowered her head a little embarrassed, and then added: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu! I was a little distracted just now!"
"It seems that you really haven't listened to me. What I just said is: in the future, please call me by my name in private. β
He could see Caiyue's struggle, but he didn't want her to be hesitant all the time. She is a decisive and courageous woman, and pressing too such a woman will make her disgusted, but blindly accommodating is not the way.
Cai Yue hung her head, she was a little afraid to look at Qiu Yan's eyes.
"Mr. Qiu, I don't want to lie to you, I really can't forget Xiao Tian! Because that's not fair to you, and it makes me think I'm an inattentive person. β
Qiu Yan was obviously not surprised by her reply, and quickly answered.
"Caiyue, I have never shied away from loving you, but I will absolutely respect you. With me, love me or not, you will always have 100% freedom. But can't we become lovers, and can't even be ordinary friends? Even ordinary friends should call me by my first name. So I don't think I'll be embarrassed by what I'm asking. β
Cai Yue really couldn't find any other reason to refuse Qiu Yan, and she thought that she really shouldn't be trapped in the predicament with Xiao Tian anymore, she felt that she really should let go!
"Good!" she finally spat out the word softly.
Qiu Yan finally waited for Caiyue's good voice, and the look of joy on his face was overflowing. He felt that because of Caiyue's "good" word, tonight could be called a very beautiful and romantic night.
"You seem to like snow very much, is it because of its whiteness and beauty?" Qiu Yan remembered the excitement of Caiyue on the road when he saw the snow scene.
"I don't think there are many people who don't like snow. β
"Why do you think so?"
"I didn't feel like the world was perfect since I was a kid. There is too much suffering in this world, and there is too much ugliness in the human heart. But in the white, snow-covered world, it seems that everything has become beautiful.
When the snowflakes fall from the sky, no one will deny her beauty, even if it is brief.
She dressed the world so beautifully in such a romantic and gentle way, silently but affectionately, that before she knew it, the world became as pure and beautiful as her. The whole process was so quiet and beautiful, so elegant and calm, so enjoyable!"
Her eyes looked out the window again, with a sense of yearning and mist in her eyes.
Qiu Yan is in a stupor again!
He felt that the most beautiful thing at the moment was not the snow scene at all, but the stunner in front of him!
Suddenly, Caiyue's misty eyes became a little panicked. Qiu Yan immediately followed Caiyue's gaze. Not far away, a man and a woman were walking side by side towards the Chinese restaurant where they were.
There was no other reason for Caiyue's panic: a man and a woman were walking over, the man was Xiao Tian, and the woman was Ouyang Qing.
Qiu Yan's heart was stabbed againβshe would still be so panicked when she saw Xiao Tian!
Xiao Tian wore a black cashmere windbreaker today, and a light coffee-colored cashmere scarf was draped around his neck, hanging very casually. He was talking and laughing with Ouyang Qing as he walked, not noticing that Cai Yue and Qiu Yan were looking at them not far away.
He seems to have a penchant for dark colors, especially black, and most of his outfit is black when he sees him, as is his car. In Cai Yue's impression, the first time she went to Xiao Tian's villa, she saw Xiao Tian playing the piano was the only time she saw him wearing white clothes.
Cai Yue retracted her gaze and began to quickly adjust her emotions.
Qiu Yan suddenly reached out and took her hand and held it, handed it to his lips and kissed it gently. She didn't react at once, and looked at him with some surprise. He moved his gaze from her hand to her face, smiled slightly, and then said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Tears almost welled up in her eyes. Why do I still care so much about him? I am always arguing and hurting with him, but I am always calm and touched when I am with Qiu Yan. It's obviously wrong to love, why can't you let go?
Tears finally blindfolded her eyes, making her already beautiful eyes even more moving!
Footsteps and the low laughter of a man and a woman came from behind him. Caiyue's eyes tried to look at the ceiling, letting the tears slowly retract from her eyes.
On such a beautiful night, people are willing to dine with a beautiful view outside the window. Xiao Tian and Ouyang Qing were no exception, and walked straight towards Caiyue and Qiu Yan's dining place, because their seats were by the window.
Xiao Tian saw Qiu Yan first, and a second later he recognized who the woman opposite Qiu Yan was facing away from him. He was stunned for a moment, and then, like Qiu Yan, his heart was also stabbed: her hand was being held and kissed by other men!
Qiu Yan's gaze turned from Caiyue to Xiao Tian as Xiao Tian approached.
"Dong Xiao, what a coincidence! I can also meet you and Miss Ouyang here!"
"Mr. Qiu, we have always been so fateful. Xiao Tian quickly retracted his surprise and greeted Qiu Yan with a warm smile.
Caiyue had also stood up and turned around, there was no panic on her face, only a calm and amazing smile.
"Xiao Dong, good evening!" Cai Yue finished greeting and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand to Xiao Tian.
Tonight, she wore a pure white high-necked tight-fitting sweater, and the precious black pearl sweater chain hung from her chest, making her already delicate figure look even more tempting and irresistible. Her long hair was loose and slightly curly, and she was much more mature and charming now than when she first met her.
"Miss Caiyue, good evening!" Xiao Tian also greeted Caiyue with a smile.
"God, ...... is this beautiful young lady?" Ouyang Qing, like Xiao Tian, did not often appear on commercial social occasions, and she and Cai Yue had not met since they met at a dinner party a few months ago.
