Chapter 739 A Star

  After everyone dispersed, Xie Tingxi handed the wallet to Qu Huai'an and asked her to pay the bill, while he dragged his tie and went outside to get some fresh air.

   Qu Huai'an used the card in his wallet to pay the bill. He knew that the rich live in luxury, but he couldn't help but be speechless when he saw the price of a meal.

  Walking out of the private restaurant, I saw that Xie Tingxi did not have the elite appearance of the day, and sat directly on a round stone pier, with his back relaxed and not so straight.

  Thinking that he should be uncomfortable after drinking so much tonight, he saw a pharmacy not far away from the corner of his eye and walked over.

  Xie Tingxi waited for a long time without waiting for her to come out, and got up to go back to look for her. After walking two steps, she saw her rushing over from a distance with a plastic bag in her hand.

   "Where have you been?" He frowned and asked, why was he running around by himself in the middle of the night.

  Qu Huai'an took out the hangover medicine and a bottle of water from the bag, "You drank too much at night, let's take a break from the bar."

   Xie Tingxi was slightly startled, his eyes fell on the hangover medicine in her hand, "Did you buy it on purpose?"

   Qu Huaian nodded.

  The cold wind was blowing in his face, and he felt a warm current rushing up from his heart, spreading to all his limbs, and the back of his spine became numb.

  Qu Huaian handed him the hangover medicine, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, saw that he had taken the hangover medicine, and handed him the water.

  Xie Tingxi took it and took a sip, but he took the bottle and didn't return it to her.

   "Go back?" Qu Huaian asked.

   "Walk with me." It was rare to come out, only the two of them, and he didn't want to go back so early.

  Qu Huaian quietly followed beside him without speaking.

  There is a park near here. Many people walk here at night, and there are many street vendors on the roadside asking for a living.

  Some sell food, some sell hats and scarves, and some sell hydrogen balloons.

   "Wait for me a moment." Xie Tingxi asked her to wait for him where she was, and walked quickly to the vendor selling hydrogen balloons.

  Choose a little purple rabbit from various shapes of hydrogen balloons, scan the QR code to pay, walk over to her and hand it to her, "Here you are."

  Qu Huai'an didn't answer, but looked up at the balloon in midair, "Why did you send me this?"

   Xie Tingxi did not answer immediately, but took her hand, and tied the rope directly to her wrist, "I guess you haven't owned these since you were a child, and suddenly you want to buy them for you."

  When she was young, she saw other people had beautiful balloons, and she wanted them too, so she begged Liu Ru to buy one for herself.

  Liu Ru slapped her without saying a word, and cursed: "I know to buy this or that every day, you waste money!"

  She covered her face and cried on the spot, but Liu Ru turned around and bought a pair of shoes worth several hundred yuan for her brother.

  Since then, she has never dared to say what she wants or express what she likes.

  Because she doesn't deserve it.

   Xie Tingxi saw that she didn't speak, and didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Let's go."

   Qu Huai'an continued to follow him, but looked at the balloon floating in the air from time to time.

   This seems to be the first time she owns her beloved toy.

  A balloon that belongs only to her.

   The two of them hadn’t walked far when they met an aunt who was selling roses in a basket, “Sir, buy a rose for your girlfriend!”

  Xie Tingxi frowned, "She's not my girlfriend."

  Auntie's complexion changed slightly. Just as she was about to apologize, she heard him solemnly say, "She is my wife."

   "So it's a couple, so I need to buy a bouquet of flowers for my wife!" The aunt took out the most bouquet of flowers in the basket.

   Xie Tingxi did not ask for this bunch, but said, "I only want one."

  Auntie was a little disappointed, but still warmly brought him a beautiful bouquet of roses, "Ten yuan."

   Xie Tingxi scanned the QR code, turned around and handed the rose to her, "Has anyone ever given you a rose?"

  Qu Huai'an did not hypocritically refuse, but took it and saw that there were still drops of water on the bright red rose petals, flickering under the street lights.

"No."

  Xie Tingxi felt happy when he heard the answer, and asked again: "Do you like it?"

  Qu Huai'an just replied: "It's okay."

  Since she was a child, she didn't have anything she liked, or she couldn't have it even if she liked it, so she suppressed her desires again and again, and after a long time, there was nothing she liked or disliked.

  Someone passed by on a battery scooter, and he reached out to grab her wrist and didn't let go.

  While walking forward, chatting casually, "What did you study before?"

   "I didn't go to college."

  Xie Tingxi looked back at her, and heard her calm tone say: "At that time, I had just been admitted to Mo University, when my brother had an accident."

  She got a notice from Mo University, but Qu Huainan's death caused the whole family to fall apart, not to mention going to college, it was her fate that Liu Ru and Qu Zhengguo didn't beat her to death.

   Or maybe her brother blesses her in heaven.

  Xie Tingxi's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on her wrist, "Do you want to go back to school?"

  She was able to be admitted to Mo University, and her academic performance is self-evident. It is really a pity that she did not complete her studies.

   Qu Huai'an shook his head, it might be a pity for others that he didn't go to college, but for her she didn't feel much.

  She is a person without too many desires.

"why?"

   "If you miss it, you miss it." Qu Huai'an replied flatly, "I don't have the desire to learn anymore."

   In the past, it was her elder brother who encouraged her to study more, and the girl wanted to go to college to broaden her horizons, but her elder brother was gone, and her life came to an abrupt end that year, and she couldn’t go back.

  Xie Tingxi thought for a moment and asked, "Then is there anything you want to do?"

  No matter whether she wants to open a shop or what industry she is in, as long as she wants, I can satisfy her wish.

  Never mind—

   "No." Qu Huai'an didn't have anything to do, "Now take care of Mumu, being your secretary is already very good."

  He doesn't even push her to fulfill his duties as a wife now.

  Xie Tingxi has never met a person who is so desireless and without any worldly desires.

  The more she behaved like this, the more worried Xie Tingxi became.

  In the past, Qu Huainan was her spiritual pillar. After Qu Huainan died, her hatred for herself supported her. Now she has no goals and pursuits, just like a ghost without self, who will be distracted at any time.

  Xie Tingxi clenched her wrist tightly, feeling unprecedented panic in his heart.

  Afraid that she would not be able to keep her, afraid that she would leave him sooner or later.

   Qu Huai'an's wrist hurt from being pinched by him, and he looked up at him, "What's wrong with you?"

  Xie Tingxi came back to his senses, saw his red wrist, and let go of it.

"nothing."

   Qu Huai'an didn't know what he was upset about, and his eyes fell on the balloon again, and the little colored lights wrapped around it twinkled like stars in the sky.

   Maybe one day, I will become a star myself.

  A gust of cold wind blew by, and the tips of her hair brushed her waist, Xie Tingxi suddenly called her, "Qu Huaian."

   Qu Huai'an came back to his senses, his eyes fell on his face again, and his low-pitched and sincere confession sounded in his ears—

"I love you."

  ———

To put it simply, Qu Huai’an’s depressive personality was caused by her native family. She doesn’t know whether she likes it or not. The only thing she cares about is Qu Huainan. After Qu Huainan’s death, she doesn’t care much about the world. She likes Jiang Rang because of Jiang Rang is Qu Huainan's friend, but this love is not as important as Qu Huainan's importance to her. To abuse Xie Tingxi is to abuse his heart. He thought that Qu Huai'an liked him first, but it turned out to be a self-guided strategy, but Huai'an doesn't like him...see you tomorrow.
