Chapter 1280 Your Persistence Will only Destroy It
Qiao Yanze met her surprised eyes, and the deep smile in his eyes became a little deeper. He reached out and lifted a strand of hair that fell on her cheek for her. He said in a low voice: "It's hard for me to see you now. In order not to let them notice your existence, I have to prepare for a long time in advance... Otherwise, I would come to you as soon as I was discharged from the hospital."
The man's fingertips were strangely hot, and Li Yinian subconsciously avoided them.
"...Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything, I just want to see you." Qiao Yanze added in a low voice.
Li Yinian looked at the Jungfrau not far away, and there was a bit of bitterness in her voice: "You shouldn't have come. The more so, the harder it is for you to let go."
"Indeed." He smiled again, "I was very bored during the days I was in the hospital, so I thought of a question. If we had been getting along as brother and sister from the beginning, what would it be like now?"
This was the first time Li Yinian heard him say the word "brother and sister".
She took a bite of the ice cream fiercely, and the cold and sweet taste seemed to temporarily suppress the heat in her eyes.
"If that's the case, maybe you'd be married now." She said softly.
Qiao Yanze laughed.
"I'm afraid not." His calm tone at first sounded a little more fiery, "I'll probably still fall in love with you, and to get you, I'll be crazier than I am now."
Li Yinian's heartbeat was disordered, and she tightly clenched the ice cream in her hand.
"Qiao Yanze, don't joke..."
She originally thought that the man's rare calmness was because he had accepted the fact that they were impossible, and he took the time to see her, perhaps just because of that unwillingness.
But it seems that she may be too optimistic.
"Scared?" The man looked at her pale face, and the casualness and laziness in his voice came out again, "So you should be glad that at least we have a past, so my inner demon is not too serious."
Li Yinian breathed a sigh of relief without a sound.
"That's right." Her voice was very light, "At least we were very happy in those few months. As long as you still keep that beauty in your heart, it's enough. Your persistence will only destroy it. So, can you let go?"
Qiao Yanze didn't speak for a long time.
Li Yinian's heart almost rose to her throat, but fortunately she finally heard the man's hoarse voice: "Okay."
She slowly exhaled, feeling that the big stone pressing on her heart was finally completely removed. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a deep sense of loss - but she could overcome this.
He let go, which meant that the secret would always be a secret, and those things that frightened her would not happen.
"It's dark." Qiao Yanze said lightly, "I should go."
He stood up, but his body couldn't help but sway. Li Yinian was startled and didn't care about the ice cream in her hand falling out of her hand. She subconsciously reached out to help him.
It was not until this time that she remembered that this man was considered to have just recovered from a serious illness. He had been on a plane for more than ten hours in a row, followed by several hours of driving. I'm afraid his body had already reached its limit.
She made a prompt decision: "If you don't have anything urgent, rest here for a night before leaving."
Qiao Yanze's face showed a bit of paleness.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at her, and the dark bottom of his eyes was unfathomable.
"Okay." He finally raised the corners of his lips and uttered the word softly.
