Chapter 147 Hit a straight shot
As if he noticed something, Qin Shiyu turned around and the two locked eyes. Qin Shiyu paused for a moment, then stood up and asked her very naturally, "Are you going back to the hotel?"
At this, Jiang Yu nodded and followed Qin Shiyu out as if she didn't see anything. There were a lot of looks from all around. Probably because he was so aggressive and tough just now and wasn’t defeated by Qin Luochuan, everyone was a little unclear about his foundation and only watched from a distance, not coming forward to disturb him. His cell phone rang a few times. Qin Shiyu gave it a few glances before stuffing it back into his pocket.
The hotel they stayed in was right next to Orange Film and Television. It was about a ten-minute walk. It was supposed to be an easy journey, but Jiang Yu found it a bit difficult. Usually Qin Shiyu took the initiative to chat or teased her. But now he was absent-minded and said nothing.
Jiang Yu had no choice but to initiate the conversation, "Is it okay that you beat Qin Luochuan now? Will he cause trouble in the future?"
Qin Shiyu said, "Don't worry, those people are worried about Qin Luochuan's identity and won't dare to post it on the Internet. As for what happens next, don't worry, I will handle it and won't let him affect us."
Jiang Yu nodded, paused and asked, "Just now Sun Lingqian said that she invested in ‘Perfect Holiday’, so it was probably her who requested us for this episode. She also knows that we signed the contract. So she’s probably brewing something?”
"Really?" Qin Shiyu said, "Let me ask around later. At most, she is one of the investors, not the most important investor. She cannot affect the overall situation. We’ll go about it how we should."
"Oh, right." Jiang Yu remembered something, "Sun Lingqian said that her family wants to buy a gold mine in South Africa. Is it connected to your gold mine?"
Qin Shiyu said, "My gold mine is indeed bought by someone in our country, but it’s a group of people partnering up. After all, if it isn't a big company, it will be difficult for one person to swallow it all."
"Oh." Jiang Yu responded, suddenly not wanting to find a topic anymore.
His reply was concise and to the point, obviously not in the mood to talk. Jiang Yu guessed that maybe Qin Luochuan's appearance reminded him of his mother. That was why his illness was acting up?
Thinking of this, her mood felt a little better. It was really not easy for a depressed patient to control their emotions. She had to take care of him. And this being said, was drinking her coffee related to his emotions? Too distracted to notice or anything.
With a reasonable explanation, Jiang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Still, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the coffee cup Qin Shiyu was holding. Why didn't he throw it away...
The two of them had already entered the hotel elevator. Jiang Yu looked at the coffee cup in Qin Shiyu's hand and hesitated to speak. For some reason, the scene where he drank coffee from her cup made it impossible for her to speak to him about the coffee cup.
This was considered an intimate act for ordinary people, let alone Qin Shiyu. Qin Luochuan had complained about how he couldn't bear to share a cup with people close to him, but he drank coffee directly from her cup. No wait, to be precise, drinking her leftover coffee...
Thinking of the scene now, Jiang Yu couldn't help but pursed her lips again.
No, no, Jiang Yu tried her best to ignore the weird feeling, thinking that his indifference at the moment might be because of this incident. After all, he felt so uncomfortable with physical contact with others, but he ended up drinking someone else's leftover coffee. Now he had caught on, wouldn’t he feel uncomfortable?
Jiang Yu’s mind wildly wandered when the elevator dinged and opened. When she looked up, she realized that this was the floor where Qin Shiyu lived and her floor hadn't been pressed.
Secretly sighing in her mind, Jiang Yu felt that she was a little spoiled. Usually when she was with Shu Hua and the others, someone would press the elevator button for her, especially with Qin Shiyu. Though he appeared lazy, he was actually very considerate. So she didn't need to worry about anything.
"You get off first." Jiang Yu suddenly felt tired and didn't want to worry about the coffee cup. Maybe it was because she was next to him, he felt irritated. After all, he was using her things. As for the coffee cup, he would naturally throw it in the trash can once he arrived in the room. Can I still sleep with it in my arms?
Jiang Yu reached out and was about to press her floor when a big hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Yu was stunned and looked up to find Qin Shiyu looking down at her, "I have something to tell you, come with me."
His tone was very calm, while the emotions in his eyes couldn’t be discerned. However, the strength in his hands allowed no room for doubt.
Jiang Yu was dragged by him all the way to the door of the room and was only let go when he was taking out the key card. She subconsciously touched her wrist, feeling that the temperature of his hand seemed a bit high. Of course, his behavior was very abnormal. If he was annoyed with her, why would he still pull her wrist? If he was desensitizing, he wouldn't force himself at this time, right? Was it fighting fire with fire?
She followed Qin Shiyu in with random thoughts, sighing in her heart that this man's thoughts were really unpredictable. If it were for looking upon his illness, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to him, hmph.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Shiyu suddenly spoke behind her.
Jiang Yu turned around subconsciously and almost ended up running into a wall of flesh. Qin Shiyu was standing right behind her and the tip of her nose almost rubbed his chest.
Startled, Jiang Yu took a step back reflexively. However, Qin Shiyu didn't step aside. Instead, he followed her and took a step forward. Jiang Yu had never felt such a strong sense of oppression.
The other party's tall figure and broad chest seemed to tightly surround her. Her whole body was shrouded in his aura...
Jiang Yu was forced by him to step back step by step. She felt that she could no longer think, stammering and asking, "You, what are you doing?"
There was a chuckle above her head. Suddenly, Jiang Yu's feet were blocked. Beyond her control, her body fell back. Then her waist felt a pull and a hot touch came. She was caught and slowly placed on the bed.
It turned out that she had been forced to retreat to the bed and her legs had bumped into the foot of the bed and she almost fell. But with her hand pressed against the chest in front of her, Jiang Yu felt that the current situation wasn't much better.
Qin Shiyu had caught her. Though she had already sat firmly, the other party's hand on her waist still didn't move away. Instead, he leaned over to look at her and continued to ask, "What are you thinking about now?"
"Nothing much..." Jiang Yu's mind was a little confused. She turned sideways to escape from him. However, the hand on her waist instead went to the side, blocking her way. The other side was the same thing.
Jiang Yu was really trapped in front of him now. Finally, she raised her head to meet his gaze.
Those affectionate eyes were now full of smiles, "You saw me drinking your coffee. How did you analyze it?"
Jiang Yu:……
She took a deep breath and couldn't help blurt out, "Is your illness acting up?!"
Did he do this because she saw him secretly drinking her coffee? And asked her how she analyzed it. She couldn't think of a reason for him to do this except that his illness was acting up.
Qin Shiyu seemed to be amused by her, "So you think I drank your coffee because I was distracted and didn't notice it. So it was an accidental?"
Huh? Good guess.
Her expression was easy to understand. Even though he knew that she must have found another reason, Qin Shiyu was still laughed out of anger again. He suddenly leaned forward and approached her.
Jiang Yu was so frightened that she raised her hand and pressed it against his chest, "What on earth do you want to do? Let's talk it out, okay?"
Qin Shiyu didn't approach, but nor did he move away. Jiang Yu kept looking at him while leaning back, completely unable to understand his thoughts. However...
Jiang Yu looked at her hand pressing on his chest. His heart was beating violently under her hand. This made her inexplicably nervous.
"Do you feel it?" Qin Shiyu asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Jiang Yu subconsciously wanted to take back her hand, but he held it in place, "Jiang Yu."
Jiang Yu unconsciously gulped. Still, she wanted to withdraw her hand, "En, um, we can take the desensitization treatment slowly..."
Qin Shiyu simply grabbed her restless hand and looked at her with a chuckle, "I'm curious why you think I won't like you."
Jiang Yu paused and raised her head in shock, suspecting that he was teasing her again.
But his heart beat faster under her palm. She swallowed unconsciously. Qin Shiyu kept asking, "Why?"
Jiang Yu's mind was in a mess. Why? Because she wasn't in his future life trajectory and thought she would leave sooner or later.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Qin Shiyu stopped pressing on and said with a smile, "No matter what the reason is, but you can take this factor into consideration in the future and give it priority. For example, my heartbeat isn't because of discomfort from other people's touch. But because the other party is you; my teasing on the show wasn't because I like to joke, but because I see you can't help it. Including using your coffee cup..."
He paused, his eyes deepened, "It wasn’t because I was too distracted and didn’t pay attention, but because I was thinking how it was what you drank..."
Jiang Yu felt her cheeks heat up instantly. Qin Shiyu's eyes wandered from her rosy cheeks to her lips. The sight was like reality. Jiang Yu couldn't help but press her lips tightly.
Qin Shiyu's adam apple bobbed. He lowered his eyes to cover his uncontrollable sight and straightened up.
Jiang Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief. Feeling puzzled, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why?"
Qin Shiyu walked to the table on the opposite side, and picked up the coffee cup that he had placed there. While gently stroking it, he said, "To borrow Ye Yuanyu's words, it would be nice if I knew why."
"Indeed, I don't have a partner in my life plan. You know that I have revenge to avenge. The driving force that keeps me alive until now was to ruin Qin Xingye's reputation and bankrupt the family. Maybe it will be good to pay homage to my mom and my grandfather when the time comes. Or by some luck, I meet a few friends and gradually recover from my illness and live a good life. Or maybe one day I feel that life is meaningless..." and end this meaningless life.
Seeing Jiang Yu frowning, Qin Shiyu didn't say any more. His expression brightened, "But your appearance disrupted my plan."
He looked at her with a smile, "Before this, my life plan was very clear. Since my mom passed away, I seemed to naturally know what to do when encountering every problem and things could go on the track the way I imagined it. When I met you, I knew clearly that divorce was the right and most efficient choice, but for you, divorce wasn’t an option."
"I unknowingly chose the option of not getting a divorce."
Jiang Yu slowly narrowed her eyes, "So you started scheming against me a long time ago?"
Qin Shiyu chuckled and didn't deny it. He continued, "Initially, I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to confess my love. But when I should be protecting you, you stood in front of me to protect me..." He lowered his eyes and looked at the coffee cup in his hand and smiled, "You even gave me the coffee you drank..."
Jiang Yu remembered the scene of him drinking her coffee again. This time she couldn't deceive herself anymore. She didn't have to blush. She couldn't help but whisper, "It's my fault too? Isn't it a problem with your self-control?"
Qin Shiyu was very honest, "En, I couldn't hold it back. Sorry,"
He approached her again, "You caught me, so I can only confess in advance."
He leaned over and stared into her eyes, seriously stating, "I don't want you to have random thoughts. I don't want you to misunderstand me again. I want to let you know right away that I love you."
Was that why he was so absent-minded and hurried along the way?
Jiang Yu's mind was in a mess. After all, she really hadn't considered this possibility. But she felt strangely happy. But thinking how he had started plotting against her very early, she felt inexplicably unwilling to accept it and didn't want to accept him that easily.
Qin Shiyu looked at her changing expression and reached out to rub her head, "You can think about it carefully. I hope you can give me the answer when I come back."
Jiang Yu was stunned, "Where are you going?"
Qin Shiyu said, "I need to go over and handle the matters at the gold mine in person. I'll be back next week."
"Oh." Jiang Yu suddenly felt disappointed. Then she felt irked for no reason. This person was clearly going to leave and he messed up her mind before leaving. Couldn't he come back and talk about it then?
"Then you pack up. I'm going back first. It's time to depart for the airport." Jiang Yu stood up and was about to leave. Seeing the coffee cup he was still holding, she coughed lightly and stretched out her hand, "Give it to me. I’ll take it and throw it away.”
Qin Shiyu dodged her hand, "Don't throw it away. I’m taking it with me on the road as a memory."
Jiang Yu:……
She imagined Qin Shiyu holding this coffee cup all the way from here to South Africa, and couldn't help but utter, "You got to know when enough is enough."
Qin Shiyu looked at her and smiled, "Maybe you can give me something else?"
Jiang Yu wouldn’t fall into his trap again, "I haven't agreed yet. Why should I give it to you?" Still reaching out to him, she beckoned "Hurry up and give it."
Qin Shiyu sighed, "Okay."
Saying this, he didn't directly give the coffee cup to Jiang Yu. Instead, he stared at the rim of the cup and slowly turned it. Jiang Yu thought he was doing some kind of farewell ceremony, but saw him slowly put the cup to his lips...
Jiang Yu could vaguely notice he was smacking his lips on the remaining lipstick that she had left behind...
She felt an electric current rush from her back to her brain, making her whole body feel like burning up, "Qin Shiyu!"
