Chapter 104

  Qishu Fan always does what he says, unless there's a special situation, he usually leaves work on time. Even if he has to attend social events, he'll definitely be back before 9 pm to have dinner with Yucai, chat with her, and watch TV together. At heart, Yucai is quite easy to satisfy. She's content with the status quo and even asked Qishu Fan to help her find a private tutor to teach her how to make soups and porridges. Then, every day, she'd use different soups and porridges to torment Qishu Fan's stomach, and watching his painful expression would make her smile even more contentedly.

  Satisfied Yu Cai classmate received Qi Shu Fan's phone call saying she would be late coming back, was very uncertain and broke the spoon, then calmly opened her mouth, "Oh, accidentally slipped my hand, what did you just say?"

  "Be careful, I'll be back late tonight."

  Yu Cai's voice was cold and silent, "So this delay, roughly how many points is it?"

  "Let's see, if you're bored, I'll call He Qi and Yunyun to keep you company."

  "Okay, I've cooked a silver ear and wolfberry congee for tonight, remember to come back early to eat."

  It turned out that being a detective was actually quite technically difficult. Yu Zai followed Chi Shu Fan's car to the entrance of a private club, but was stopped by security at the door. Non-members were not allowed in, and when Yu Zai asked to sign up for a membership card on the spot, he was told that he needed a guarantor. Yu Zai had no choice but to retreat, gazing once again at the neon-lit "Flower Rain" sign, and feeling the vast gap between himself and Chi Shu Fan...

  Ji Shu returned home not too late, it was not yet ten o'clock. Lying on the sofa in a daze, Yu Cai subconsciously glanced at his watch and silently laughed bitterly, proving that he still cared about himself.

  Qishu Fang untied his tie and sat down beside Yu Cai, patting her leg, "Wearing shoes on the sofa, be careful Auntie will scold you".

  Yu Cai looked at her own canvas shoes and continued to stare at the ceiling. Qi Shu Fan smiled and pinched her face, "You're just forty minutes late, and you're already angry?"

  "The scent on you is intoxicating me."

  "I'm going to take a bath."

  Qishu Fan had just changed into a new set of clothes, and Yu Cai was still staring at the ceiling. Qishu Fan spoke in a soft voice, "What's wrong? Did something unpleasant happen?"

  "Jian Xun said that the best place to eat in the provincial capital is a private club called Hua Yu, today you're not at home so I wanted to try it out, but the security guard wouldn't let me in."

  Qishu Fan's heart suddenly rose, "Xiao Cai——"

  Yu Cai's voice was as calm as ever, but with an added hint of indifference. "I just turned around and saw you were here too, then the doorman fawned all over us and welcomed us in. I had no idea there were still hotels in this new society that I couldn't enter."

  Qishu forced a smile and said, "It's just a private club, if you want to go, I'll help you get a membership card tomorrow."

  "No need, the gatekeeper was right, I'm not the kind of person who can enter and exit that kind of place."

  "I'll go see the boss tomorrow and complain, let him fire that little man!"

  Yu Cai lightly snorted, "He didn't say anything wrong, it's just that I've always had extravagant hopes - Qiboshu Fan, I'm tired..."

  The prayer book is all messed up, but what was his little niece actually saying?

  Yu Cai took a deep breath, "Uncle Shi has told me many times to go to their company for development after graduation, the conditions they offered are very favorable, I have already agreed. This time in the provincial city is mainly at Uncle Shi's invitation, to intern at their company before going abroad".

  "Shi Wei?" Qi Shu furrowed his brow, "It's okay, it's a bit far, but driving back and forth is quick."

  "Uncle Shi provided me with an apartment and I'll be moving in two days."

  "How can a girl like you live alone outside? It's okay if you go for an internship, but I don't agree with you moving out."

  "I have made up my mind."

  Qishu frowned, "You live here too, it's convenient, and you can keep me company, isn't that good?"

  "You don't need me to accompany you."

  "What's wrong with it? You don't know how empty it feels for one person to live in such a big house!"

  "You don't need to accompany me," Yu Cai turned over, "Just like what that Tian Miss said, nowadays even cats and dogs can come to Huayu, I don't want to be told again that nowadays even cats and dogs can cling to you, Governor Qi, and not let go."

  Whenever the prayer book changes color, "small pickings are everywhere, and those without eyes are angry with them".

  "I'm leaving tomorrow morning."

  "Xiao Cai, I know you're angry, but can't you blame others for their mistakes instead of punishing me?"

  "The Premier of Quebec is really giving me too much credit."

  Qishu patted her hair, "Alright, I won't say anything else. Whatever I say is wrong anyway. Let's talk again when you've calmed down."

  "Has the anger gone? When did I get angry? I said I was just tired."

  "Xiao Cai, what are you talking about?"

  "I'm moving out tomorrow, whether you like it or not."

  "Xiao Cai, don't be reckless."

  "I'm going to sleep," Yu Cai said, getting up and quickly walking upstairs.

  Qī shū fán fá zuò zhua zhuō tā de shǒu wàn, "xiǎo cǎi, bié rèn xìng, wǒ jué bù huì zài ràng tián zhēr ér chū xiàn nǐ miàn qián, xíngle ma?"

  Yu Cai suddenly became agitated, "What does that Tian guy have to do with me? Qi Shu Fan, just don't appear in front of me again!"

  "Xiao Cai, I admit that today was my fault. I came back late, but you also said before that me having a girlfriend outside isn't a big deal, right?"

  Yu Cai suddenly pushed him away, "Get out!"

  Qishu was caught off guard and stumbled, but still managed to maintain his composure. "Fine, I'll leave. Just don't mention moving out tomorrow again. You can hit me or scold me if you want."

  Yu Cai thoroughly collapsed, "Qi Shu Fan, you damn well can't understand human language, right? I don't want to see you again, every time I see you, I feel nauseous, nauseous, do you hear that?"

  Qī shū fán yī bǎ zhāo zǒu tā de shǒu, "xiǎo cǎi!"

  Translation:

  Qishu Fan grasped her hand, "Xiao Cai!"

  Yu Cai Xiang didn't think much and kicked him aside, "Let me go, you bastard! Don't touch me with your filthy hands that have touched countless women!"

  Qishu was kicked in the waist by her, and she was in so much pain that she gasped for breath. Her temper also flared up, "Xiao Cai! Is this how you talk to your elders?"

  "Damn it! Qi Shu Fan, I've liked you for so long. Don't tell me you didn't notice, yet still use your seniority to suppress me every day. Do you have any humanity at all?!"

  Qī shū fán dāi zhù, yù cǎi yě dāi zhù le, suí jí jiù shì yī zhèn wú fǎ yán xǔ de qīng sōng, dāng xià gōu qǐ zuǐ jiǎo hěn shì yú yuè de xiào le qǐ lái, "zhōng yú shuō chūlái le, zài biēn xià wǒ jiù huì jīng xīn le".

  He stared at the prayer book with an expression of utter incredulity, his body stiff as a board, wanting to say something but unable to utter even half a word.

  Yu Cai Xiao's bright smile, "I thought I could keep it hidden for a lifetime, but now that the opportunity has slipped away, it seems like there's nothing left to say. At least from now on, you won't have to pretend to be the obedient girl anymore. But, I suppose we won't meet again in the future?"

  "Xiao Cai——"

  "I guarantee that from now on, I will absolutely not take the initiative to appear in front of you and disturb your eyes. You can pretend that you never discovered me in the provincial city, as if I had never existed before. Now, please rest well, I'll leave tomorrow, and you don't need to see me off, Uncle Shi will send someone to pick me up."
