122: Can you give me a chance?

Can you give me a chance?

The next morning, Xi Ting entered the guest room and saw that Qin Yan was still sleeping. Being able to sleep so peacefully in a foreign place, he wasn't sure if she had a big heart or she was foolish.

But he knew deep down that she was able to sleep so peacefully because it was him.

When she woke up again, Qin Yan was already much more conscious. She opened her eyes and sat up. She went into the washroom and there was a set of washing products that hadn't been used in there, it must be for her. She took them unceremoniously – whether she wanted to use them was up to her.

She hadn't reached the stage where she would walk around without brushing her teeth and washing her face. She walked out refreshed.

The house was warm as the heater was turned up high. As she walked out, she saw the man sitting in front of the table with his legs crossed. He was looking intently at a pile of notes, at times doing some calculations.

As the foreign footsteps sounded, he lifted his head, looking expressionlessly at Qin Yan. He finally stopped at her legs.

"There are shoes outside," He said with a frown.

Qin Yan nodded and wore the shoes obediently.

"How do you feel now?" Xi Ting asked.

Qin Yan stared into his eyes like this without blinking as she saw two small version of herself in them. She grabbed a pillow and hugged onto it tightly.

Xi Ting thought that she was in pain.

He sighed and went to the kitchen to take out some breakfast that he had bought earlier: Buns.

"Eat some." He placed them on the table for Qin Yan.

Qin Yan took one and started munching on it without much thought. However, she took a glance at Xi Ting. He was back at his work, staring seriously at the pile of papers on his lap, looking up some information on his computer at times.

She thought for a bit before taking another bun and placing it before him.

Seeing an extra bun in front of his eyes, Xi Ting took it. However, seeing that it was from Qin Yan, he didn't say anything. He didn't have much to say to begin with and perhaps just like what his friends said, anyone who could live with him was either a god or someone who had lost their mind.

Qin Yan ate one and gave one bun to Xi Ting. She didn't eat a lot and was full after only two buns.

"Eating so little?" Xi Ting had a lot to say about how much Qin Yan ate. He could eat two baskets of buns in one sitting, yet she was full after only two buns.

"I always eat little," Qin Yan swiped her hands.

Hugging the pillow tightly, she tucked in her legs on the sofa. The man beside her was silent but his presence wasn't uncomfortable.

It seemed like she was about to return.

She stood up and placed the pillow on the sofa. She then stood at where she was without moving…

Xi Ting lifted his head and placed his documents on the table.

"You are leaving?" He didn't have to ask to know that she was.

"Yes," Qin Yan nodded, "I am going back, I still need to go to school." She bit her finger.

"Thank you."

"No worries," Xi Ting replied.

Qin Yan felt a slight warmth inside of her from his actions. She was admittedly touched. She wasn't an unreasonable woman anyway.

A thank you wasn't enough to express anything but now, it was the only thing she could say to him. She remembered his feelings and pain.

She struggled to open her eyes as she quickly turned around before the she couldn't fight back her tears. She was afraid she would cry. She walked to the door and wore her shoes before pulling open the door and left.

Today was a normal day of the school but the intense study atmosphere showed that the college entrance exam was near.

Qin Yan did not have any problem studying as this was just a revision for her.

As she left the school after it was over, she encountered someone who was the least expected person by her.

She had not expected to see Xi Yaohua waiting at the school building entrance when she exited it. She felt disgusted by him but she did not want to cause a scene at the school entrance.

"Brother Hua," Qin Yan walked up to Xi Yaohua and smiled sweeter than ever.

Behind that smile, she was thinking quickly of methods to deal with Xi Yaohua.

"Why are you here?" Qin Yan asked.

Xi Yaohua was stunned to see Qin Yan's smile towards him. She was so beautiful that he almost drooled looking at her.

"Yan Yan, I have something to tell you," Xi Yaohua looked around at their surroundings, which were filled with students walking to and fro.

"Go ahead," Qin Yan wanted to know the reason of Xi Yaohua blocking her path. She was so disgusted by his gaze that she decided to play with him.

"I would like to speak with you privately. Can we go to a place with fewer people?" Xi Yaohua pointed to a nearby spot. "It is not far, over there would do."

It was not far from the school building. If anything really happened, she would be able to attract attention by shouting.

However, after last time Qin Yan felt that Xi Yaohua did not have the guts to do anything improper.

On the other hand, Xi Yaohua was afraid of getting caught by Qin Muran. He could not allow Qin Muran to witness the conversation between him and Qin Yan.

"Can't you tell me now? I have an appointment with my friends at the school entrance," Qin Yan lied with a straight face.

Xi Yaohua said in a low voice, "I will not take up too much of your time."

"All right." Qin Yan nodded.

Xi Yaohua finally smiled and took Qin Yan to the place he had pointed at earlier.

Xi Yaohua had chosen a good location.

It was not far from the school building.

Qin Yan would be heard if she shouted.

However, it was also slightly hidden so there was some quiet among the noise.

There would be no one around the corner, but they could still hear the chatter of the nearby students.

"Brother Hua, what exactly do you want to say?" Qin Yan asked.

"Yan Yan, I just want to ask if you can give me another chance?" Xi Yaohua said with what he hoped passed for passion.

No matter how intelligent she was, Qin Yan had not expected that even at this late stage, Xi Yaohua still was thinking of having her as his girlfriend.

For so many years, Xi Yaohua had always prioritized profits.

He had spent all his energy on cultivating a good relationship with Qin Muran.

It was because she was the favoured daughter of Qin family. She was smart, intelligent and beautiful. In contrast the previous Qin Yan could not even compare to a single hair strand of Qin Muran.

Moreover, Qin Muran was loyal to Xi Yaohua.2

She had adored Xi Yaohua all this time.

The fulfillment Xi Yaohua found from Qin Muran was much more than from Qin Yan.

What Qin Yan didn't expect was now that she had regained her looks, Xi Yaohua could not stop thinking about her.

Without waiting for Qin Yan to say anything, Xi Yaohua continued, "Yan Yan, please don't misunderstand!"

Xi Yaohua hurriedly explained as he saw that Qin Yan was backing away with a cautious expression, "Since I was very young, my mom had tasked me to take good care of you. You should also know that both our families had this idea. They had agreed early on that when both of us grew up, we should marry."

"When I was young, I saw you as a younger sister. I knew that I would marry you when I grew up and had thus waited for you to grow up every day. But then one thing led to another and we grew apart." Xi Yaohua took a step forward, "Yan Yan, can you please give me a chance to be with you?"

Qin Yan wanted to see the shamelessness of the person in front of her so she asked, "What about Qin Muran? Do you want to break up with her?"

Xi Yaohua looked at Qin Yan's beautiful face and wanted her at any cost. He replied, "Yan Yan, you are the one I like. You were young before, and I saw you as a sister. But now that you are grown up, I view you as an adult. Then, I realized that I actually like you. Also because Muran liked me this much, I didn't want to break her heart. So I didn't reject her. But all this time, the one who I truly wanted to be has always been you!"
