Chapter 2258 - 14: Qin Song Unconscious (Part 2)

"Hey, Qin Song, are you kidding me or not? I always feel like you’re actually telling the truth... that you really like that woman you shouldn’t like... and then pretending to play around for years."

Gu Xiran had been running around all day and was feeling sleepy, drowsy. Hearing the woman’s lazy voice, Qin Song clenched his large hand and then said hoarsely.

"Of course, I’m joking with you. How could I be the type to just fixate on one flower? I will always love the entire flower bed..."

"Ha, I knew your personality..."

Gu Xiran slowly closed her beautiful eyes and spoke softly.

"Qin Song, someday you’ll find someone who truly loves you. And then... you will love her very, very much. For her, you’ll feel everything will be worth it..."

"Then she’ll give you endless strength, allowing you to overcome everything..."

"Hmm."

Qin Song knew Gu Xiran was about to sleep, so he instinctively lowered his voice.

"When will that day come?"

"Well, how should I know? In any case, I arrived 14 years ago... for you, it will be soon... haha."

Gu Xiran felt too tired leaning on Qin Song’s shoulder and simply lay down beside him.

"Just like me, because I love Qin Jin, I have infinite strength..."

Qin Song: "..."

Yes, her endless strength comes from Qin Jin, not from him.

Hearing Gu Xiran’s words, Qin Song chose silence, raising his hand to gently pat the woman’s back, helping her slowly drift into sleep. Before long, he heard Gu Xiran’s gentle breaths.

Very steady, it seemed the woman had fallen asleep.

Qin Song’s lips curved into a tender yet mischievous smile, watching the woman peacefully sleep beside him like a cat, so adorable.

Adorable to the point... making himself want to bend down and steal a kiss.

Qin Song slowly bent over, approaching her delicate, fair cheek.

His thin lips drew nearer and nearer to the woman’s face, closer... even closer.

Just when the distance narrowed to a sliver, Qin Song stopped himself.

Hmm...

Don’t take advantage of someone’s vulnerability.

Gu Xiran is asleep now, knowing nothing.

Qin Song forced himself to pull away from Gu Xiran, then lifted his hand to stroke her long hair. The soft strands felt so nice against his palm.

"I know when you love my brother, you have infinite strength. So... when will you love me a bit, Little Tangbao? Do you know if you try to love me the same way, then... as the one being loved, I would have endless strength."

The only response Qin Song received was the woman’s steady breathing. Qin Song’s lips pressed together, gazing at her tranquil face, lips curving with a touch of bittersweetness. Worried Gu Xiran might be uncomfortable on the sofa, he carefully gathered her in his arms and headed toward the bedroom.

Gu Xiran was gently placed on the soft big bed by Qin Song, then covered with a towel blanket.

Qin Song softly said goodnight, then reluctantly turned off the lights and left.

Even though nothing happened between the two, just simply being in the same room was a happy thing for him.

Qin Song’s lips curled up, stomach aching fiercely. He quickly rummaged through drawers and found some painkillers, swallowing them directly.

The night was deep...

Qin Jin stood quietly in the apartment, at the spot where Gu Xiran had just cried, standing for a whole night.

The man was perfectly still, without moving an inch.

This was where she had just shed tears, because it was he who made her cry.

He had to express his apology in the most earnest way he could...

...

A new day began.

Gu Xiran had a good sleep all night and was a bit dazed upon waking. It took a moment for her to realize she was in Qin Song’s apartment.

Hmm, no, now it’s hers.

Qin Jin had given her this apartment.

Gu Xiran smiled with satisfaction, feeling a sweet happiness inside.

Not bad...

The bad mood and unlucky things from yesterday were left behind, no need to think about them anymore.

Gu Xiran took a deep breath and only noticed Qin Song sleeping on the sofa when she walked into the living room.

Stupid kid, at least sensible enough not to fight for the bed with her. Hmph, if he dared to, she’d surely complain to Uncle Qin, and Grandpa and Grandma, Great-Grandpa.

She’d definitely show this rascal who’s boss.

It’s already nine o’clock, and the rascal wasn’t awake yet. Gu Xiran noticed Qin Song’s handsome face was still alarmingly pale, and her expression changed slightly. He might be sick.
