  "It doesn't hurt anymore." Liang Yi's voice was soft and gentle, his head nudging against her neck. "Shen Beichen didn't get into the key school, so he must be in a terrible mood. After all, someone as proud as him has never experienced any setbacks before. I thought that once he got over it, everything would be fine, but then something happened to his body..."

  "When I was diagnosed, I didn't feel like the sky was falling or anything, maybe I'm just too optimistic? At that time, the first thing I wanted to do was call him, I called many times, but he didn't answer and didn't return my calls."

  "This...," Song Qing said in a low, mournful tone, "...I think I need to clear something up for Ah Chen. During the summer vacation of his senior year, Uncle Shen wanted to send Ah Chen abroad to study, but at that time, Ah Chen still had feelings for you and didn't want to leave. A month after school started, he suddenly changed his mind and was willing to go abroad...and then you dropped out of school..."

  "Alas, it's indeed fate." Liang let out a sigh.

  "You're still quite reluctant to part with it?"

  "Are you jealous?"

  "No. Since he came back to look for you after the college entrance exam and you didn't even turn your head, what kind of vinegar can I eat? Can he compare to me?"

  Liáng Yī silently gave a thumbs up to Sòng Qīng in his heart, thinking he was really something, the kind of person who would hurt his friends for his own gain. He estimated that Shěn Běi Chén had heard and wanted to hit him.

  "I'm really sorry, I wasn't there with you at that time."

  "Song Boss, don't be so sentimental, I can't take it."

  Song Qing let out a soft laugh and wrapped his arms around Liang Yi, pulling her into a warm hug.

  Sunlight pours in from the floor-to-ceiling window, casting a beautiful shadow on the floor behind them, radiating a subtle warmth.

  Liang quietly felt the strong heartbeat under her palm, and slowly curved up the corners of her mouth, "Song Qinghe."

  "Huh?"

  "Clear and..."

  "I'm here."

  I love you.

  "Me too."

  Episode 7

  "Song Qinghe."

  Liang Yi wore a white nightgown, barefoot and wandering into the study room. When she woke up, she found that there was no one beside her. Indeed, he was working overtime in the study again, what a workaholic.

  "How come you're not wearing shoes again?" Song Qinghe put down the file, looked up, and slightly furrowed his brow, "Aren't you sleeping?"

  "Can't sleep." Liang pouted, humming and cooing as he snuggled into Song Qinghe's arms when the latter lowered his guard.

  "Remember to wear shoes next time." Song Qing turned off the computer, hugged Liang Yi tightly, and through her clothes, he could still feel her slightly chilly skin. "What if you catch a cold?"

  "You're paying for it if it's spoiled."

  "How about I compensate you?" Song Qinghe lowered his voice and leaned in close to Liang Yi's ear, speaking as he kissed her earlobe.

  Episode 9

  (This sentence should be connected to Song Qing's confession being rejected by Liang Yi. Liang Yi wants to resign.)

  Liang knocked on the door and clenched the envelope in his hand.

  "Enter."

  Hearing Song Qinghe's voice, Liang Yi grasped the armrest and closed his eyes, pushed open the door and went in, putting the resignation letter on Song Qinghe's desk.

  Song Qing furrowed his brow and stared at Liang Yi with piercing black eyes, "Why? Give me a reason."

  Liang Yi forced a smile and said casually, "I think this job isn't suitable for me, the opportunity should be given to someone more capable."

  "I hope you don't bring personal feelings into work." Song Qing's eyes didn't show any anger.

  "I'm not a person who can't separate work and personal life." Liang Yi looked at Song Qinghe calmly, "I just found that I'm more suitable for writing, and I want to focus on writing my next book."

  "Get out."

  Liang turned around, pursed his lips tightly, and clenched his fists, telling himself in his heart that he mustn't feel sad.

  Liáng Yī didn't go for lunch at noon.

  Song Qinghe came out of the office and paused slightly in front of Liang Yi, "Go to the personnel department this afternoon to handle the resignation procedures."

  Song Qinghe finished speaking and walked away, seemingly not wanting to look at Liang Yiyuan again.

  "Thank you." Liang Yi let out a long sigh, and her eyes began to sting again. She sniffled and looked up at the ceiling, after today, it would be fine, she wouldn't have any more dealings with Song Qinghe.

  Since we won't be together anyway, why bother being so depressed all day?

  All annoying.

  Hey, little cuties, the extra chapter of Song Qinghe is finished here. I know you guys want to see the continuation of Song Min and Wen Yan's story. If I'm lucky enough not to be locked in a small black room, I'll definitely speed up the update of Wen Yan and Song Min's extra chapter. However, if unfortunately, I get locked in a small black room, please don't abandon the book, please don't abandon it at all! After all, I'm so trashy, often updating irregularly, you guys have been tolerating me, three weeks without an update is also acceptable for you, right? Wen Yan and Song Min's extra chapter will try to tie up the loose ends that were buried before, just need to trouble you to wait a bit longer. Also, Cheng Yu and Yuan Siyu might get their own book, or maybe like Qu Ran, I'll write an extra chapter for everyone to see. Hmm... let's just wait and see how I perform when I'm locked in the small black room, maybe I'll give you guys a big surprise!
