Chapter 10: Love You for Ten Thousand Years 2
"I'm fine. But..." I raised my lips and chuckled, looking him up and down, "Luo Zihan, tell me the truth, how come you are so good at fighting? When did you learn Kung Fu?"
Luo Zihan stared at me intently, an elegant smile appeared on his lips, and his voice was soft and peaceful.
"Qianqian, you don't know that I wasn't in good health when I was a child. Maybe it's inherited from my family? My grandfather and father weren't in good health either. Until now, my father still often goes to the hospital for recuperation. So, in order to strengthen my body, I have learned all kinds of Kung Fu, whether it's Eastern martial arts or Western fighting. I want to make myself stronger, enough to protect the most important people around me."
"Luo Zihan..." I hugged his neck tightly and said coquettishly, "Luo Zihan, although I am stupid, I also want to protect you, want to share your joys and sorrows, and want to stay by your side forever, is that okay?"
He smiled unusually gently and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?"
"I……"
"Silly girl, you are the one for me. Apart from you, I, Luo Zihan, don't want anyone else!"
"Oh my, so corny!" Min Hyuk couldn't stand being ignored anymore, so he came over and said to us, "Are you two going too far? Do you think I don't exist? You know I don't want to see you guys being affectionate, yet you still dare to do that in front of me!"
Luo Zihan let me go a little, and turned to Brother Minhe and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the second test you gave me. Cui Minhe, I am willing to accept all the tests you put forward at any time, but don't drag Qianqian into it! You are Qianqian's brother, I know very well that you love her, and I am very grateful, but I love her more than anyone else, and I will never tolerate her getting hurt!"
"Luo Zihan, thank you..."
When I heard these words, I felt warm in my heart and was really happy.
Brother Minhe stared at Luo Zihan and said calmly, "I just want you to understand that someone who can't protect Qianqian is not worthy of Qianqian's reliance. Luo Zihan, you have passed this test, but don't be too happy too soon, there is still a third test."
"What is it? Tell me!" I glared at Min Hyuk and urged him, "Min Hyuk, if you play hide-and-seek again, I'll be mad at you."
Brother Minhe shook his head weakly, and his stunningly beautiful face suddenly became a little bitter.
"Qianqian, you just know how to bully me! However, the more you do this, the less I will tell you. The third test may take a long time, so both of you should be prepared. I will..."
"Min Hyuk, are you done with your break? Your scene is next."
A staff member walked in at the door and nodded politely when he saw us.
"You have a guest? Do you want me to talk to the director and postpone it for a while?"
"No need." Brother Minhe straightened his clothes, blinked his bright eyes, and chuckled, "I am a dedicated and responsible person. I will take on this responsibility. Qianqian, remember to close the door when you leave. I'm going to work."
As I watched Min Hyuk's back gradually recede, I suddenly realized that Min Hyuk is the most handsome and charming when he is working! No wonder he has such a strong fan base.
The lounge fell quiet. Luo Zihan and I smiled at each other and hugged each other again.
"Luo Zihan, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"How did you know I was here? How did you find me?"
I have always believed that the test proposed by Brother Minhe was an impossible task, but Luo Zihan actually found me successfully within just 40 minutes. This... this is too magical?
Luo Zihan looked at me, with a gentle smile on his lips, and explained: "At first, I waited for you for a long time and didn't see you come back, so I called you, but you suddenly turned off your phone. I immediately became alert, thinking that you might have encountered an accident, and immediately ran to the store to ask. However, no one noticed you, and I couldn't contact you. I was really anxious at the time. Slowly, I persuaded myself to calm down and recall all the details: you don't have anyone too familiar here, you don't have any enemies, and you won't leave me suddenly without saying a word. I suspected Jingyu. Coincidentally, Jingyu called me before. She was in the Shen family villa, and there was nothing unusual. I also talked to her mother. In other words, Jingyu has nothing to do with your sudden disappearance. Then, Cui Minhe became the primary suspect, and he happened to be filming here. In conjunction with the test he proposed, I concluded that you were taken away by someone he sent. In this case, I came to the crew to inquire about Cui Minhe's whereabouts, and I was able to find you."
I jumped up with joy and shouted, "Luo Zihan, you are really smart, you are indeed a genius!"
"Then what is Yao Qianqian?"
I rolled my eyes and said with a smile, "Luo Tiancai's stupid girlfriend!"
C "Well, she is a little stupid, but she is my favorite girl." Luo Zihan smiled and hugged me in his arms, kissing my forehead lovingly.
I leaned obediently in his arms for less than two seconds, and suddenly another question came to my mind.
"Luo Zihan, Shen Jingyu called you, what's the matter?"
Luo Zihan said without reservation: "She asked me to meet her, and you too."
"Me? She wants to see me?" This was something I had never expected.
Luo Zihan chuckled and said softly, "It would be best if the two of us go to see her together. We will leave Dijing College at six o'clock tomorrow night. Remember to apply to the teacher for leaving school in advance."
I nodded blankly, feeling a little confused.
Why does Shen Jingyu want to see me again?
The next evening.
After school, I went straight to the Platinum Hall. This was what Luo Zihan and I had agreed to do. We would leave school at 6 o'clock and meet Shen Jingyu at a coffee shop in the city.
"flourishing!"
I had just walked a few steps out of the teaching building when Bai Yaning chased after me from behind, waving a magazine in her hand.
"Qianqian, I bought this issue of the weekly comic book. It has your comic series."
Huh? Really?
I took the magazine from Bai Yaning and flipped through it carefully. Indeed, my comics were included. Since the magazine is already on the market, the editor should mail me a sample copy soon. Great!
This kind of sense of accomplishment that comes from the bottom of my heart is the first time I have felt it.
"Yaning, thank you for your support and help. It's great to know you."
Bai Yaning raised her elbow and bumped me with a scolding look, then chuckled, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm glad to meet you, too! Maybe it's because we get along best, so we can become good friends."
"Yeah." I smiled and nodded. "Yaning, I'm really happy to meet a good friend like you at Dijing College. It's the right choice to study here."
Bai Yaning smiled slightly and said calmly, "I think so too. Qianqian, keep working hard. In the near future, you may become the first cartoonist of our Dijing College. I look forward to your publishing a comic book as soon as possible!"
"Thank you! I will try my best!"
Although Bai Yaning and I were not roommates in the same apartment, she gave me great support and encouragement. I have long regarded her as a good friend, and so has she. Ha, it feels so good to have friends around!
When I arrived at the Platinum Hall, Luo Zihan was already waiting for me in the lounge.
He sat quietly on the sofa, looking through something intently. I opened the door, tiptoed to his side, and covered his glasses with my hands from behind to stop him from reading any further.
Every time I saw him, he was always busy, either typing away on his laptop or processing internal documents of the Rockwell Group. Of course, this also included him carefully tutoring me on my homework.
"coming?"
Luo Zihan held my wrist, turned his head and smiled at me, then pulled me to sit next to him.
"Eh? What are you reading? A magazine?"
I stared at the magazine in his hand in surprise. That...that was actually the same comic weekly that Bai Yaning showed me!
"Luo Zihan, you..."
He gently stroked my hair, slowly raised his lips, and smiled: "I told you, I will definitely read any comic you create. This is your debut work, and there is no reason for me as your boyfriend not to support it. Of course I have to read it."
"Thank you, thank you!"
I hugged his neck tightly and gave him a big hug. Finally, I reminded him, "Luo Zihan, don't buy magazines when they come out in the future. Wait for my sample issue and I'll give it to you."
"Actually, no..."
I quickly interrupted him, pouted, and declared: "Luo Zihan, don't object! I will feel more accomplished if I do that, understand?"
Luo Zihan just smiled without saying anything. He raised his hand and pulled me into his arms again, holding me tightly and not letting go for a long time.
C7pm.
Neon lights are flashing and bright.
Luo Zihan and I walked into the coffee shop and saw Shen Jingyu, who looked tired, in the reserved VIP room.
"Jingyu!"
"Zi Han, you're here?" Shen Jingyu greeted Luo Zi Han warmly, then glanced at me coldly and said sternly, "Yao Qianqian, I really don't welcome you."
Huh? I was stunned and stared at her in confusion: I was speechless. If you don't welcome me, why do you want to meet me?
After the waiter served the coffee and left, the private room fell into silence.
"Jingyu, you..."
Luo Zihan spoke first, but was gently interrupted by Shen Jingyu.
“Zi Han, do you really want to push me into a dead end?” Shen Jingyu smiled bitterly and shook her head, her sharp eyes piercing into my eyes like a dagger, “Yao Qianqian, are you satisfied? Zi Han actually persuaded my parents to send me abroad to study! Now, the elders of both families have been persuaded by Zi Han, and even my parents hope that I will give up Zi Han and go abroad alone... Yao Qianqian, how much do you think I hate you!”
I looked at her in astonishment and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
This, this... How could it turn out like this? Although I don't like Shen Jingyu very much, I didn't deliberately hurt her. What's more, I believe she really likes Luo Zihan, but her way of pursuing love is completely wrong.
"Jingyu, this matter has nothing to do with Qianqian. It's my arrangement." Luo Zihan patted my hand comfortingly and continued to say to Shen Jingyu, "I suggest that your uncle and aunt let you go abroad to study, change to a new environment, and get in touch with new people and new things, or you will slowly forget me and get out of this relationship. Jingyu, I don't want you to become more and more extreme. Likes and dislikes, love and not love are not things you can control. Sometimes, giving up is not necessarily a desperate situation, but a way to survive. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Shen Jingyu raised her voice and chin like a proud princess. "From childhood to adulthood, there is nothing I can't get! Zihan, how can you force me to go abroad? Force me to leave? I won't give up! I won't let Yao Qianqian take you away! Can you hurt me so badly just to protect her? Zihan, I will never give up on you!"
Luo Zihan sighed softly, and his beautiful face suddenly became a little gloomy.
I gently took Luo Zihan's arm, looked at Shen Jingyu's cold eyes, and said firmly: "Jingyu, what do you want? You should be sober. Everything Zihan did was for your sake. He hopes more than anyone else that you can walk out of the shadow of this relationship and stand up again! In the world of love, there is no right or wrong. Zihan and I don't owe you anything. Please don't accuse us arrogantly! I believe that you really like Zihan and have deep feelings for him, but you are so aggressive and entangled, which is clearly a kind of harm to him! Please ask yourself, you are unwilling to give up Zihan. Is it because you love him too much, or is it to satisfy your own vanity? You just don't want to see me snatch Zihan away, and you don't want to see me and Zihan together happily. You are jealous! It's vanity! It's a manifestation of cowardice!"
"Shut up! You shut up!"
Shen Jingyu glared at me angrily and raised her hand towards me, obviously wanting to slap me.
"Jingyu, stop making trouble!" Luo Zihan noticed her actions more keenly than I did. He grabbed her wrist before me and said in a deep voice, "If you are not satisfied with the arrangement of going abroad, I will find another way, but... Jingyu, you really need to calm down and think about it. You are too extreme and stubborn. If you continue, you will hurt yourself. You have always been a noble and proud princess. You can't tolerate others taking away what belongs to you. That is a manifestation of narrow-mindedness. No one is perfect. As long as you open your heart and work hard to correct it, you will see a different scenery. I think tonight's coffee is not suitable for Qianqian and me. We will leave first."
“Zi Han, you are so heartless.” Shen Jingyu held back her tears, fixed her eyes on me, and stared at me coldly, “Yao Qianqian, I will never bless you and Zi Han! Even if, even if you are with Zi Han now, I will not give up on him! Listen carefully, no matter where I am, if there is a problem in the relationship between you and Zi Han, I will definitely take advantage of it without hesitation and snatch him back!”
What? She, she's not kidding, is she?
I took a deep breath and replied seriously: "Jingyu, I'm sorry, you absolutely have no chance to snatch Luo Zihan away! We will accompany each other forever!"
Shen Jingyu snorted disdainfully: "Humph! The world is unpredictable. No one can predict what will happen in the future. As long as I don't give up Zihan, I will always have a chance!"
"Why do you have to do this?" Luo Zihan sighed, his dark and deep eyes flashing with an unusually firm light, and he said word by word, "Jingyu, you have no chance. Qianqian and I will always cherish each other and stay together forever!"
After that, Luo Zihan took my hand and led me out of the private room of the coffee shop. And the moment we closed the door, Shen Jingyu's crying came from inside.
Sometimes, it is helpless to like someone. Fortunately, I found the person who is in tune with me.
A few days later, the results of the retake test were announced.
Just as Luo Zihan said, I got full marks in two subjects, and the last subject also performed very well. This situation was really beyond my expectations. If it were three months ago, I would not even dare to think about it.
From then on, I became an officially admitted student of Dijing College.
The first person who called me to congratulate me was the school chairman, then my dear aunt, and the third person who called me... yes, it was from Mr. Yao, who is related to me by blood.
"Qianqian, congratulations! I hope you have fun studying and living in Dijing College." Grandpa Yao's voice came from the other end of the phone, with deep joy and satisfaction, "My granddaughter, come home this weekend. Grandpa and your aunt want to meet Zihan, you two must come together."
"Eh? You, what did you say?"
I couldn't believe my ears. Did I hear it wrong?
Although I already knew that the old man would send people to secretly monitor my every move in Dijing College, but the old man suddenly asked me to take Luo Zihan back to the Yao family. What...what does this mean!
So far, except for a few of my closest family members, no one knows about my relationship with Mr. Yao, let alone that I am the future heir to the Yao Jewelry Group.
I didn't mean to hide this from Luo Zihan.
To be precise, I was not fully prepared mentally. Facing my grandfather who had no news for more than ten years, I could not accept everything he had given me. I felt too much pressure and was a little breathless.
But……
The old man asked me to take Luo Zihan back to the Yao family this weekend. Should I tell Luo Zihan the truth in advance? Ah!
So tangled, so conflicted, I wonder what Luo Zihan would think? How would he react?
It is another evening with colorful clouds in the sky.
I dragged my heavy steps and walked slowly towards the Platinum Hall with a nervous mood. I decided to confess my identity to Luo Zihan today and tell him about the weekend invitation, but... after thinking about it, I still felt worried.
"Miss Qianqian!"
The guard at the entrance of Platinum Hall greeted me with a smile.
"Hello, two brothers!"
I could only force a smile for them.
"Miss Qianqian, Master Luo has instructed that he will wait for you on the sixth floor."
Huh? The sixth floor, the sixth floor... What! Isn't that where Luo Zihan's bedroom is?
I frowned slightly and came to the sixth floor of Platinum Hall in confusion. I stood in front of Luo Zihan's bedroom door. I raised my hand several times to knock on the door, but I hesitated and put it down again.
Not long after, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and I was immediately startled.
"flourishing?"
