Chapter 534 Memories of the Past
Chapter 534 Memories of the Past
Qiuyan silently watched Dai Guobin's distraught figure gradually moving away until he disappeared from her sight. An indescribable sadness welled up in her heart.
Recalling the little things in the past, she remembered all the kindness Dai Guobin had shown her, especially the time when he risked his life to save her, which made her feel a little special about him, a heart-thumping feeling.
However, reality is always so cruel, and there seems to be an unbridgeable gap between them. Although Qiuyan has some affection for Dai Guobin in her heart, she also knows clearly that there may be no result between them.
At this moment, Qiuyan's mood was extremely complicated. She didn't know how to face this relationship. Should she continue to suppress her emotions or pursue it bravely? This question has been lingering in her mind, making her feel extremely entangled and painful.
"Yanzi, let's go back to the hotel." Principal Zhang pulled Qiuyan's sleeve, and Qiuyan came to her senses. Qiuyan paused and immediately concealed her emotions.
"Okay, let's go." Qiuyan looked at Principal Zhang. Fortunately, she had a husband who loved her so much, which made her feel self-sufficient.
After returning to the hotel, Qiuyan seemed a little listless and seemed to have no interest in everything around her. Seeing this, Principal Zhang turned on the TV, hoping to liven up the atmosphere.
However, despite the various programs being played on TV, Principal Zhang's mind was not on the TV at all. Although his eyes were on the screen, the interaction between the man he had just met and Qiuyan kept flashing in his mind.
Judging from their words and actions, Principal Zhang felt that the relationship between that person and Qiuyan was not as simple as ordinary friends. But what exactly was the relationship? Principal Zhang really couldn't figure it out.
He wanted to ask Qiuyan directly, but he felt that it was not appropriate to do so. First, he knew Qiuyan had her own difficulties, and asking rashly might make her feel embarrassed or uncomfortable; second, he was not sure whether Qiuyan was willing to tell him the truth.
Therefore, Principal Zhang could only ponder in his heart, trying to find some clues from Qiuyan's reaction and subtle expressions. However, Qiuyan remained silent, which made Principal Zhang more curious and helpless.
"Bang bang" someone knocked on the door. Principal Zhang immediately ran to open the door. It turned out that it was time for dinner. The waiter delivered dinner to the room, placed the food on the coffee table in the guest room, and left quickly.
"Yanzi, it's time to eat." Principal Zhang immediately came to the bedroom and saw Qiuyan lying listlessly on the bed, as if she didn't want to get up.
"What happened to you today?" Principal Zhang looked at Qiuyan suspiciously and asked with concern, "You have been listless since you came back, as if something is bothering you. Did you encounter any troubles?"
Principal Zhang was actually a little unhappy. After all, Qiuyan was fine and talking and laughing at Wang Kun's house in the morning. But who would have thought that after just meeting that man named Dai Guobin in the afternoon, Qiuyan seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming worried.
Principal Zhang thought to himself that there must be a reason behind this. He decided to wait until Qiuyan calmed down a little, then find an opportunity to have a good talk with her to see if he could help her resolve this issue.
"Come, you can continue to sleep after dinner. The food will be cold and not tasty. Tonight's food is very rich." Principal Zhang said as he went forward to pull Qiuyan. His eyes revealed a trace of concern and tenderness, as if telling Qiuyan that he hoped she could take good care of herself.
Qiuyan's body trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with complex emotions. She subconsciously patted Principal Zhang's hand, as if she wanted to push him away, but she seemed a little reluctant. After patting, Qiuyan's heart surged with regret, and she realized that her reaction might be a little extreme.
Principal Zhang's heart skipped a beat. He sensed Qiuyan's resistance. His brows knitted slightly, and a trace of confusion and loss flashed across his face. However, he did not give up. Instead, he gently held Qiuyan's hand and said softly, "Qiuyan, I know you may be a little tired, but eating something is good for your health. These dishes are specially prepared for you. Try them."
Qiuyan's eyes gradually softened. She looked at Principal Zhang, and the resistance in her heart slowly dissipated. She knew that Principal Zhang cared about her, but her mood was a little complicated. She sighed softly, and then slowly sat up.
Principal Zhang showed a gratified smile on his face. He quickly served Qiuyan a bowl of rice and put some vegetables in her bowl. Qiuyan ate silently, feeling the care and warmth of Principal Zhang.
After the two of them finished their meal, Qiuyan looked at Principal Zhang, feeling full of guilt. She realized that her actions just now were a bit excessive and she shouldn't treat her husband like this. After all, Principal Zhang had always been the best person to her in the world.
She thought silently, recalling every bit of their experiences together. Principal Zhang always cared for her silently and devoted himself to her, but she hurt him because of a momentary impulse. Qiuyan's eyes revealed a trace of self-blame and regret.
She decided to make up for her mistake and express her apology and gratitude to Principal Zhang. She took a deep breath, gently held Principal Zhang's hand, and said softly: "Husband, I know that my behavior just now made you sad, and I really regret it. You have always been the one I love the most and the one who treats me the best. I will reflect on myself and will not do this again in the future."
Principal Zhang looked at Qiuyan, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "It's okay, dear, I know you didn't mean it. The relationship between us will not be affected by this little thing."
Qiuyan felt a little relieved after hearing what Principal Zhang said. She knew that their relationship was so deep that it would not be easily destroyed. She was determined to cherish this relationship even more and prove her love with actions.
"Hubby, I have something I want to tell you today that I've kept in my heart for a long time." Qiu Yan took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and then slowly said, "This matter is related to Dai Guobin whom I met this afternoon."
Her voice was slightly low, as if this matter was not easy for her. Principal Zhang looked at his wife, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he did not interrupt Qiuyan, but listened quietly to her continue.
Qiuyan began to tell about her encounter with Dai Guobin in prison. She described in detail the scene, the conversation, and her inner feelings. As she narrated, Principal Zhang's expression gradually became solemn.
Qiuyan told Principal Zhang that Dai Guobin was not doing well in prison, that he looked haggard and seemed full of regret for his past. She also mentioned Dai Guobin's views on some of the things between them and some of his thoughts about the future.
Principal Zhang listened carefully to Qiuyan's story, nodding from time to time to show his understanding. When Qiuyan finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then sighed softly.
