Lin Shishi thought she and Qu Ran would go on a flat and uneventful journey together.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Lin Shishi?" Upon hearing the woman's voice on the phone, Lin Shishi hesitated for a moment.
"Who am I? May I ask who you are?"
"I want to talk to you about something related to Qu Ran, do you have time?"
Lin Shishi's heart skipped a beat as she vaguely guessed who would come looking for her, after all, it was always portrayed that way in TV dramas.
"Wait until I get off work."
"Uh, can we go to a coffee shop?"
"Hmm." Lin Shishi responded with a murmur, her heart also feeling a bit uncertain, unsure of who it was that wanted to see her.
Quran's mother? Quran's ex-girlfriend?
Lin Shishi arrived at the coffee shop for her date after daydreaming all afternoon.
"Lin Shishi?" A woman in a black mini suit by the bed waved at Lin Shishi, her hair neatly tied back, her makeup exquisite, and her fitted suit giving off an air of elegance.
He and Qu Ran are of the same kind.
Lin Shishi suddenly felt the gap between herself and Qu Ran, which she had been deliberately ignoring all along. At this moment, it was starkly presented in front of her, and Lin Shishi was slapped awake like a slap in the face.
The battle has not yet begun, but they have already collapsed and are no longer a cohesive unit.
"Hello, I'm Yao Xia, and we've known each other since childhood."
"So?" Lin Shishi smiled, she really couldn't put on a good face for Yao Xia.
"I hope you leave him, whether it's from a family background or ability perspective, I'm more suitable than you." Yao Xia stirred the coffee in front of her and pursed her lips. "Qu Ran is one of the heirs of the Song Group, he can't be a lawyer for his whole life, even if he does, I can help him, and when he returns to the company, I can also help him."
"I read law for him and became a lawyer. Wherever he goes, I'll follow. I don't believe that all these years of companionship mean nothing to him, Miss Lin..."
Lin Shishi took a deep breath, stood up abruptly and said, "Miss Yao, I don't know what position you're taking to talk to me like this. If he has feelings for you, let him come and tell me himself. As a girl, please be more reserved. And if you want me to go and have a big argument with Qu Ran so that he'll dislike me, sorry but it won't work out as you wish. I won't mention today's matters to him. Please try your best yourself, goodbye."
Lin Shishi walked out of the coffee shop with her bag, the May weather was slightly warm, and when she came out, the sun was already blocked by the surrounding buildings. Lin Shishi looked up at the sky and tears quietly fell.
After being together for so long, she only knew that Qu Ran was a lawyer, but had never known about his family background.
If she were just a lawyer, Lin Shishi could barely keep up with her.
Kesong Group
Lin Shishi returned home and downloaded the application form for the Tibet Medical Aid Team, telling her parents about it.
Parents are very supportive.
After some deliberation, Lin Shishi sent a message to Qu Ran: Qu Ran, I've applied for aid in Tibet and will be gone for a year. During the time we spent together, I thought a lot about it, let's both calm down, if after a year you still have me in your heart, then we'll get married.
Lin Shishi was a temporary decision, submitting the application form at the last minute, and leaving for Tibet a week later.
Qu Ran was busy with her case and received a message that day, rushing to see Lin Shi Shi, but she refused to say anything.
By the time he finished his case, Lin Shishi had already left and was unreachable.
Yao Xia had found Lin Shi Shi, Qu Ran rushed to Yao Xia's office and quarreled with her loudly, losing her usual calmness and rationality.
He slammed the door and left.
Cheng Yu looked at Yao Xia's gloomy face and couldn't help but shake his head: "If a man has you in his heart, he will come to you on his own without you having to make an effort. Don't you understand that yet?"
Tears finally fell from Yao Xia's eyes. She now understood, but unfortunately, it was too late, and she didn't want to turn back.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Qu Ran has been to Tibet many times, but still can't find Lin Shi Shi.
Don't look for me, I'll be back when I miss you.
"This is a message Lin Shishi sent to Qu Ran before she left. A year has passed, why hasn't he come back yet?"
He sighed, picked up his phone and sent a Weibo post: Wife, our one-year anniversary has arrived, why haven't you come back yet? I'm already 32 years old, which is very old. If you don't come back soon, I'll be forced to get married. Can you please hurry back?
Regardless of the reaction from fans, Qu Ran flipped through Lin Shishi's Weibo and found that she had just liked her own post.
She grabbed her phone and ran out of the door.
"The floating clouds disperse, and the bright moon shines on people coming..."
A long unheard male voice humming started, a slender small hand picked up the phone, "Hello?"
That night, Qu Ran blogged again.
A round and rolling moon.
The bright moon is here, shining on those who return home.
