C171 Love That Couldn't be Hidden
Zhu Ruiyan's heart tightened. She knew that this man was not simple. She hid her thoughts so deeply that he could actually guess it. She said faintly, "County Head Qin, I am not avoiding you. There is nothing that I do not dare to look at you."
"Then that's enough. Sit and fish." Qin Yizhao said faintly.
Zhu Ruiyan smiled like a flower, but she knew how sad that smile was. She obediently sat down and held the fishing rod.
She meant that she was not afraid to see him, nor did she want to avoid him.
Sigh, she clearly did not want to continue fishing, okay? Why did she have to change her mind just by saying a few words? Why did she have to obediently stay by his side and watch the fishing pole?
"Did your work go well?" Qin Yizhao sat down and started to chat with her.
Zhu Ruiyan heard him and did not say anything for a while. In the end, she still said, "Not bad. Ms Qin is a good person."
"You are going to take the exam?" Qin Yizhao asked again.
Zhu Ruiyan nodded. She felt it was strange. This person even knew this?
"The exam shouldn't be difficult. You still need to read books."
"Yes." Zhu Ruiyan nodded again. She did not speak much.
"Have you read the books?"
"Yes."
"[What do you think of the theory?]"
"It's alright." Zhu Ruiyan said lightly.
Qin Yizhao smiled and said, "You should be fine."
"I don't know yet. Let's talk about it after the result is out." Zhu Ruiyan also did not know what the final result was.
"You don't have confidence?" Qin Yizhao asked.
"County Head Qin, it's not what you think. It's just that you don't want to give yourself too much pressure."
"Can you change your name?" Qin Yizhao asked.
"How should I address you? You are the county head. " At this moment, she faced his gaze directly and no longer avoided it.
Qin Yizhao was a little panicky. His gaze met, and it was still the same pair of clear eyes. They were still moist and gentle, but he was somewhat flustered when he looked at them.
On the contrary, Qin Yizhao did not know how to react. He turned his gaze away and said, "Call me Big Brother Qin. You should call Qin Yue Ms Qin and call me Big Brother Qin. It's very reasonable."
His eyes were deep. He just looked at her like that. It was not as oppressive as before. It was still dazzling as if he could see through her thoughts. The corner of his mouth was lifted, indicating that this person was waiting for her reaction.
Brother Qin? He was the older brother, and she was the younger sister? Do you want to ask how many good younger sisters you have, just like Meng Ting Wei's singing?
It was this phrase Brother Qin that made Zhu Ruiyan a little shy again. This form of address was too ambiguous.
She turned her head and pretended to look at the fishing rod. Her face was hot and she felt very uncomfortable.
"I am not your superior. No matter what, the two of us have been together for so long. I've never done anything wrong from the beginning until the end. In the end, it was you who said it would end. I feel that everything I've done has a clear conscience, so even if we can't be lovers... As friends, it makes sense for you to call me brother. I'm not younger than you, so it's normal for you to call me that. The reason I called you that is because I don't want to call you that unfamiliar in the future. "
Brother? She rejected this suggestion.
"You don't want to? You think I took advantage of you just because you called me big brother?"
Zhu Ruiyan took a deep breath. She only felt a part of her heart was missing. Her other consciousness was mocking herself again. This was the best result. Why did she still feel disappointed?
In the end, Zhu Ruiyan still did not call him "Big Brother Qin." She felt that the way she called him was too shocking. They had at least had that kind of relationship before. Now, calling him big brother and sister was really more than what she could bear.
Zhu Ruiyan quietly watched the fishing rod by the side. She looked at the two fish happily swimming in the bucket. One was the female carp she caught, and the other was the male carp that Qin Yizhao caught. Pui, it was clearly male and female carp, but they had led it astray. It was also said that male and female carp were clearly said to be male and female. Yet they insisted on talking about male and female, thinking that they were talking about people.
The sun rose. The two of them did not speak. Duan Yu and Ye Zhijie disappeared for a long time. Zhu Ruiyan could not sit there any longer.
It was really uncomfortable to just sit there quietly.
Sometimes, Qin Yizhao would turn his head to look at her. His rod had no bait, but it did not add any. He just looked at the fishing rod. It really was like Jiang Taigong fishing.
"Do you want to be a part-time translator?" Qin Yizhao asked at this time.
Zhu Ruiyan was shocked and quickly replied, "Thank you. No need."
She was now relying on submissions and her monthly income was not lower than her salary. She could slowly pay back the money. In terms of translation, it was not right to be professional and could not be described clearly.
Qin Yizhao seemed to have expected that she would not accept it. He smiled. Only he knew his disappointment.
After that, the two of them did not have anything to say, and both of them were silent.
Zhu Ruiyan had been nervous the whole time. She was worried that he would say something shocking again, but he did not say anything.
Zhu Ruiyan's two hands grabbed onto the fishing rod and her fingertips turned white. She did not make a sound and did not dare to accept his good intentions. She did not dare to have anything to do with him anymore.
Even if Qin Yizhao understood her and expected that she would not accept it, he still did not feel good if she really rejected him.
"The remuneration for translating is not low. The work of translating German is a lot. The remuneration you get can reduce some of the burden on you." Qin Yizhao still advised.
"I have never learned the translation of the system, and I do not know many professions. It is very difficult to pass the final product." Zhu Ruiyan thanked him in a low voice, "Thank you for your suggestion, but I am really not suitable for it."
"There are many things that can be learned while doing it." Qin Yizhao said coldly.
Zhu Ruiyan looked up and found that those eyes were so wide and wide. There was a fierce look between her brows. Her face was cold and distant. It was the first time Zhu Ruiyan had seen him like this.
There was sadness spreading in Zhu Ruiyan's heart. She knew that many things could be learned while doing, but she did not dare to accept anything that was related to him. "I have other part-time jobs in front of me, so I may not have enough time."
Qin Yizhao did not expect this and did not know that Zhu Ruiyan wrote an article as a part-time job.
"What kind of work did you do as an amateur?" Qin Yizhao was surprised. He did not know what other jobs she had.
Zhu Ruiyan answered in a low voice, "You do not need to ask about this. Anyway, thank you for your concern.
It is not early now. I want to eat breakfast. I will go over first."
Zhu Ruiyan got up and walked to the restaurant. She did not care about Qin Yizhao's sad expression. She did not have the courage to sit quietly with him anymore. She could not be so calm. She knew that she could not let her feelings go. She also told herself that it was over. But there were too many things in her heart that she couldn't give up.
Qin Yizhao just watched Zhu Ruiyan walk away. He always did not know what to do in front of her and disturbed his steps. Zhu Ruiyan was still guarding her heart.
Qin Yizhao put down his worries. It was already Saturday, and he had to go to Qing County on Monday. He had to start his busy business again. At that time, he would not have time to deal with his personal relationship life.
He probably wanted to give each other time to calm down. He could not force Zhu Ruiyan to push him too hard. He was still where he was.
"Why did she come out?" Duan Yu was outside the pond and asked Ye Zhijie.
"I don't know either. I need to find her to understand the situation." Ye Zhijie said.
Then, Ye Zhijie went to Zhu Ruiyan's direction. "Zhu Ruiyan, have you gained anything?"
When she mentioned this, a smile appeared on Zhu Ruiyan's face. "Yes, I caught a big one."2
She controlled herself to not think about Qin Yizhao's matter and never think about anything related to him again. This was good for both of them. She had to take good care of her mother now. She didn't care about anything else. Her heart was filled with sadness. Happiness, these are not important. He couldn't have that person in his heart anymore.
She knew that her heart hurt, especially when she thought about Qin Yizhao's words and actions. She almost could not breathe. Her two hands were tightly held together. Her joints turned white, her hands hurt, and her heart hurt. They stimulated her nerves together.
"Congratulations! Later, we will all try the fish you caught!" Ye Zhijie saw the pain in her eyes and his heart also felt uncomfortable. He separated his hands from hers and held one of her hands. He looked at her directly. "Zhu Ruiyan!"
Zhu Ruiyan looked up at him.
Ye Zhijie's eyes were full of pain and tenderness. "Zhu Ruiyan, you must live happily. I am relieved that you choose him."
Zhu Ruiyan was shocked in her heart. She understood Ye Zhijie's feelings for her. She also understood the deep affection in Ye Zhijie's eyes and the meaning in his words. However, she and Qin Yizhao had come to an end. "Ye Zhijie, many things are not that simple. Love each other. It does not mean that we have to keep each other until they are old and live happily. I will be satisfied. "
"Is there a need for you to sacrifice yourself for him?" Ye Zhijie did not understand.
Zhu Ruiyan said, "Ye Zhijie, people can't just think about themselves. Let's not talk about this anymore. I want to go eat breakfast."
"Let's go and eat." Ye Zhijie looked at Zhu Ruiyan's delicate body and his heart ached again. She was only such a weak little girl. Why did she have to bear so much? What exactly did Qin Yizhao do? But he also knew. Zhu Ruiyan loved that person.
"Ye Zhijie, you will be in the government in the future, right?" Zhu Ruiyan asked casually.
"I think so." Ye Zhijie answered.
"Your future should be very good."
"We are all heading in this direction now." He roughly guessed Zhu Ruiyan's thoughts. She was worried that her background did not match Qin Yizhao's. But now it was not the old society anymore. There were not that many details. Ye Zhijie's mind still did not quite understand.
He also did not want to go on the official career path, but in order to chase after Zhu Ruiyan, he had already arrived at the Visiting Bureau, and he also wanted to cut through all obstacles on this road. What he imagined at that time was to marry the woman he loved. He lived a simple life, but his family didn't want him to be like this.
Did Qin Yizhao's family members think the same way?
This was because he roughly understood Zhu Ruiyan's thoughts.
"Work hard. I wish you a bright future!" Zhu Ruiyan smiled. This person's family background was so good. In the official circles, there would always be achievements.
"Are you encouraging me and blessing me? I hope that you like me more!" Ye Zhijie started to joke.
"You are saying such nonsense again." Zhu Ruiyan was now teased by him and could accept it. She knew that Ye Zhijie had really let go of her. She could still be friends with him.
"You have to listen to my nonsense. If you don't accept my heart, you can listen to what I have to say. Otherwise, my injuries will not heal."
"Uh, then I'll listen." Zhu Ruiyan looked at him and said.
"So obedient!" Ye Zhijie looked at the person in front of him. She was beautiful, kind, gentle, and so beautiful. But her heart was not with him. He could not tell whether she would end up together with Qin Yizhao.
