Yan was speechless. When Han Qing had paid the money, Yan could not help but scold him, “Are you crazy? These two tickets don’t even cost so much but you actually spent 20,000 to buy them!” Is he a fool? Although she knew that Han Qing was rich and this 20,000 did not mean much to him, this wastefulness still dumbfounded her.
The two men who received the money were looking at their phones with joy. Then, they turned to look at Yan and Han Qing while saying sweet words to them. “Pretty lady, your boyfriend is so generous. You’re blessed to have found such a boyfriend. Be sure to cherish him.”
“What does this have to do with you? I never said that he’s my boyfriend,” Yan rebuked. She wanted to struggle, but Han Qing was keeping a tight hold on her and refused to let her escape.
“Hehe, looks like you guys are bickering. No wonder he chased after you into the train even though he’s able to afford lavish things. He’s really putting in the effort. Good job, brother. I wish for the two of you to live happily ever after.”
Originally, Han Qing thought that they talked too much and only spouted nonsense, so he wanted them to quickly pack up and leave. However, after the man unexpectedly wished for them to live happily ever after, he moved his lips and replied, “Thank you.”
After that, the two quickly packed up their things and left. While they were packing, Yan had been trying to struggle out of Han Qing’s arms, but he did not let her go. In the end, Han Qing placed her things beside the berth and asked her to sit down on the bed. It was very quiet here as everyone else was sleeping. After the two people had left, this place returned to silence.
In such a quiet environment, Yan could not speak loudly, let alone lose her temper. She could only lower her voice while looking at Han Qing. After thinking about what she wanted to say, she turned around. After a moment, she turned back around and said, “Are you crazy for spending 20,000 on this?”
Han Qing did not know what to say. Unexpectedly, she was still on this matter. Facing her angry gaze, Han Qing sighed and said helplessly, “For me, these things aren’t important.” The important thing was that this young lady in front of him had been bullied just now. If he did not bring her here, she would have continued to be wronged over there.
Han Qing began to tidy up the bed while Yan watched quietly by the side. She found his movements to be a little awkward. It was obviously his first time doing such things. Thinking of this, Yan asked subconsciously, “Is this your first time taking the train?”
Han Qing paused before saying, “There’s a first time for everything.”
Is he crazy? “I randomly booked this train ticket. How did you find me?” Yan still could not believe that she would meet Han Qing on the train. She felt that this pain was all part of a dream. No, perhaps the happy memories from before were just a dream. Now, she had awoken, and she should retreat to her original position from before. In the real world, there was a huge difference between the both of them. The position next to him belonged to someone else.
Han Qing arranged the pillow for her and raised her feet, causing Yan to subconsciously press down his hand. “What are you doing?”
“Aren’t you sleepy? Go up and sleep,” Han Qing said while taking off her shoes. Yan wanted to resist and stop him, but before she could do so, she was carried by Han Qing and placed on the bed. He then covered her with a blanket.
What’s the meaning of this? After coming here, he doesn’t say anything and is just doing these things directly. Thinking of Xu Yanwan, Yan started to feel sad. “You haven’t answered my question. How did you find me?”
Han Qing moved gently to tuck the blanket in for her while pursing his lips tightly. Probably due to her stern glance, he lifted his head and explained, “I’ll be able to find you if I want to. Take a nap first, you don’t look so well. We’ll arrive when you’re awake.” His tone was neutral, just like a glass of lukewarm water.
Yan felt like her heart was sliced into pieces. She closed her eyes and could feel the heat radiating from her eyes. “Is this another way of compensation? Do you think everything you’re doing now will be able to earn you my forgiveness after what you’ve been hiding from me?”
Han Qing’s complexion darkened after she mentioned the things he had hidden from her. It was not because he did not want to tell her about what happened in the past, but because he did not find it necessary to share his dark past with someone he loved. Those were his painful memories, so why would he want to tell her so she would suffer with him? All he wanted for her was a loving and happy bright environment, not one filled with flames and piercing cries.
“I didn’t purposely hide it from you.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me all this while?” Yan still could not accept the fact that she had suddenly become the third party. Upon thinking, her head felt like it was going to burst. She immediately turned her body before Han Qing could say anything. “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain anymore. You can’t change the fact. You can just go back and stop following me when the train arrives at the stop.” She came out to relax, or to put it another way, to forget about Han Qing. If he keeps following and pestering me, then what’s the point of my trip? The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Yan decided to just cover herself with the blanket and ignored Han Qing.
Han Qing did not plan to tell her when she was still angry because she was being too irrational now. Although he did not feel like the matter was that serious, it was natural for the young lady to pay more heed to it since all her efforts were destroyed and made fun of. Han Qing decided to accompany her to do whatever she wanted to do in these few days. He would only tell her about the past when she had cooled down from her anger.
A deep sigh sounded from above Yan’s head. She could only hear Han Qing’s words after a while, “Just sleep. Take a good nap. I’m here for you.”
Upon hearing his words, Yan could not stop her eyes from reddening as tears flowed down. If it was before, she would think Han Qing was treating her well and felt secure after hearing his words. However, now… it all felt like a great irony to her.
He is someone with a fiancée. He chased after me to where I am and left his fiancée at the company. The funny thing is I did not know anything about it and had personally sent the fiancée to him. We even sent her to the hospital together and brought her food. Xu Yanwan is probably laughing at me. She thought back to the message that Xu Yanwan sent her about how she would be the one who would be at Han Qing’s side and he would take responsibility for her. She did not want him to be responsible for her; she did not want…
Yan’s tears were flowing heavily, but she could only suppress her sobs and chokes by biting her lower lip, as Han Qing was above her. Even though she was trying very hard to control her crying, there were a few sobs that slipped through her lips. Han Qing’s heart clenched when he heard her crying at the side.
