Chapter 1641: Cool Night (2)
When w.a.n.g Chun left, it was already 10:30p.m.
The night was beautiful. The silver light scattered all over the ground, and the dry ground looked as if it was covered with a layer of silver.
After taking a shower, the couple was not in a hurry to rest. They sat leisurely on the rooftop, admiring the moon, and made a pot of cooling flower tea.
Not long after Dongfang Liuyun sat down, Qi Lei’s footsteps could be heard behind her. There was a strange smell in the air. She quickly turned her head and saw Qi Lei holding a small transparent bottle and coming to her side, he was holding a few cotton swabs in his hand.
“What’s wrong?”
Dongfang Liuyun saw him stop beside her, and she immediately raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“Roll up your sleeve. Who’s got such animosity for you that they can actually scratch up such a b.l.o.o.d.y mark?”
As Qi Lei spoke, his gaze stopped on her left arm.
Dongfang Liuyun was a little surprised. She subconsciously rolled up her left sleeve—
There was indeed a five-finger scratch mark left there. It was the scratch by Jin Sheng, it was burning and the bruise was quite obvious.
She frowned and sighed, “It’s nothing. It’s just a minor injury. I b.u.mped into Jin Sheng after work. I had some grudges with him before, so he vented his anger on me.”
However, as she spoke, she extended her arm.
Qi Lei squatted down and picked up her arm to look at it. His brows were furrowed. “Bear with it. Disinfect it first and apply some medicine.”
“I know that Jin Sheng probably has a grudge against you. That night at the banquet, he was looking at you weirdly. Your grudge with him seems to run deep.”
Qi Lei carefully dabbed some disinfectant on her wound to sterilize it.
The burning pain came, and Dongfang Liuyun frowned slightly.
“Aren’t you curious about the grudge between me and Jin Sheng?” Dongfang Liuyun looked at Qi Lei, who was focused on treating her wound, and asked thoughtfully.
Qi Lei paused when he heard this. He thought for a while before looking up at her and taking in her expression. A moment later, he retracted his gaze and continued what he was doing—
“I’ve said before that I don’t care about your past. I’ve married you anyway. I might have cared in the past, but now, I don’t. The most foolish I’ve done is I always used it to punish myself.”
When Qi Lei said this, Dongfang Liuyun was a little surprised. She hesitated for a moment before suddenly smiling. “It’s rare for you to have such an understanding. If you’d been more acceptinf earlier, you wouldn’t have had such a hard time.”
“That’s because I met you guys a little too late,” replied Qi Lei.
You guys?
Dongfang Liuyun carefully considered this phrase. After a while, she nodded. “I’ve heard about you and Mu Yuchen. Birds of a feather flock together. Actually, you’re quite lucky.”
“Do you think you’re not lucky?” Qi Lei suddenly asked.
“I’m not so lucky. I’ve given up more than others ever since I was young, so the results I want are naturally different. As a person, if you think about giving first, then think about having or receiving, you’ll feel much better. Many times, giving and receiving are actually proportional. I never blame the G.o.ds or accuse others. If I can’t achieve the results I want, it can only mean that I didn’t prepare enough and didn’t do well enough. It has nothing to do with luck. The so-called luck, in my opinion, is probably just some kind of fate.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was very calm. When she said this, the expression on her face also seemed a little quiet and distant.
“Let it be. We’re already here now, we just need to keep going.”
Qi Lei put away the disinfectant and carefully applied the medicine on her.
“As long as you’re by my side from now on, nothing else is that important. Who doesn’t have a past?” Qi Lei thought for a moment and added.
As she listened, she suddenly fell silent. She did not say anything and just quietly watched Qi Lei apply the medicine on her…
After cleaning up, Qi Lei sat down. The husband and wife sat side by side, and they did the same thing—
They put their hands behind their heads leisurely and calmly watched the deep night sky.
“Do you feel like the sky is actually quite far away from us right now? Standing below, you’re as tiny as a speck of dust?” Dongfang Liuyun looked at the full moon in front of her and suddenly said.
“Mmm, it does feel that way,” replied Qi Lei.
As Dongfang Liuyun listened, a faint ripple appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“It doesn’t matter that you’re tiny, what matters is that you care. You look at it and feel that you’re tiny, but looking at you and me, I don’t feel that tiny at all. Liuyun, do you think that we’re the people who humbly promised each other to the entire world?” Qi Lei asked, and the gaze he used to look at her suddenly became a little profound.
Dongfang Liuyun retracted her gaze and looked at him. She hesitated for a moment before replying softly, “I don’t know. A lifetime is a very long time, and it’s a process to verify too. Let’s just keep walking and see how it goes.”
She really could not tell. She just felt that if this continued, it should be pretty alright. She hoped that it would continue to be like this.
Hearing this, Qi :ei nodded happily. “Yes, I hope that we’ll continue to be like this.”
A smile suddenly appeared on Dongfang Liuyun’s face, “Don’t worry, we will. I’ve always known what I want, and I’ve always known my position and my bottom line. So, I’m not at a loss, and I won’t hesitate. Since I’ve chosen to marry you, of course, I’m going to grow old with you. If I didn’t make a principled mistake, I wouldn’t just toss you aside.”
“I’m actually worried that I’ll lose you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Lei glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. He took a cup of tea and took a sip leisurely.
“Are you not confident in yourself, or are you not confident in me?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.
“What do you think? Confidence is relative. Knowing how to give it to someone is an important knowledge.” Qi Lei’s lips curled into an evil smile. The look in her eyes was unfathomable.
“Also, it seems that I have more than one opponent. Missus Qi, if one day…” Qi Lei spoke calmly and Dongfang Liuyun listened to him.
However, Qi Lei suddenly stopped and did not continue. When Dongfang Liuyun turned to look at him, he only lowered his head and silently looked at the thing in his hand…
She waited for a long time, but Qi Lei did not make a sound. After a while, he put down his cup and stood up with some disinterest. He suddenly turned around and walked back into the house.
