Love You Till the End-Chapter 925 - 924: He Never Brings Women to Banquets

"But it’s still impossible." Su Jiuyi retorted.

"The observer sees more clearly than the participant." Qi Jingren said.

"Not talking to you, I’m hanging up." Su Jiuyi said and really hung up the phone.

Hearing the "beep beep" sound from the phone, Qi Jingren shrugged, put the phone away, and sat on the sofa hugging her knees, her face illuminated by shifting shadows.

"Did they hang up on you?" Qin Shaobai asked lazily, with his legs crossed, holding a drink, turning his head to look at her.

The light from the TV screen fluctuated slightly, making Qi Jingren’s silhouette appear bright and dark; her pure and pretty profile increasingly stirred a gentle feeling in Qin Shaobai’s eyes.

On the giant TV screen, a ferocious female ghost was chasing the protagonist, amid deafening screams.

Qin Shaobai reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind the girl’s ear. They were so close that he could embrace her just by opening his arms.

"Jingren." His tone was more serious than ever.

"Hmm?" Qi Jingren, still engrossed in the horror movie plot, turned her head and met Qin Shaobai’s deeply affectionate gaze.

If not for the protagonist’s screams being too horrifying, the atmosphere would have been perfect.

Qin Shaobai leaned closer to Qi Jingren, her clear bright eyes like deep dark pools.

As they drew closer, when his lips were just a centimeter from her cheek, the TV suddenly played even scarier music.

...

Qin Shaobai gently tilted his head and said in Qi Jingren’s ear, "How about we watch an action movie?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shaobai was kicked off the sofa by Qi Jingren.

Somehow, Qi Jingren had already snatched the drink from his hand and drank it down in one breath, her eyes refocusing on the screen.

"That hurt, you crazy woman!"

Qi Jingren glanced at him indifferently, "It’s what you deserve."

Su Jiuyi practically jogged back to her room, as if she was escaping.

What Qi Jingren said earlier exposed the thoughts Su Jiuyi always dared not entertain, but she had to admit, hearing Qi Jingren say that made her happy.

Returning to her room and turning on the light, through the mirror, she saw her panting and slightly flushed face.

It’s simply impossible.

Not to mention Qi Jingren is prettier and has a more suitable family background for Shi Aoju, even if he doesn’t like Qi Jingren, there’s still Qian Yixun from yesterday who should be his choice.

Liking someone is too subtle a thing; in over twenty years, Su Jiuyi has never experienced it and doesn’t know how liking someone really manifests.

Their first meeting was awkward, later they had a big fight, thinking they’d part ways, yet they were entangled by that complicated event.

"He never brings a woman to parties." Qi Jingren’s words echoed in her ears.

But today he took her to the party, probably to fend off Qian Yixun.

She could tell from the disdainful glances of some women at the birthday party, thanks to her, Shi Aoju avoided a lot of unwelcome attention.

In the end, she was just doing her job.

Humans really are strange creatures, constantly denying their thoughts and feeling the loss because of it.
