IACF [QT] Chapter 28.8

Now, after reflection, she regarded her goal as a lighthouse on the sea.

Even if she occasionally lost her way during the voyage and occasionally took a detour, as long as the lighthouse was always there, one day, the ship would still be able to reach the place where the lighthouse was.

So, she adjusted her approach.

She had always been too passive, which was why she was ordered around by others.

Now she wanted to be proactive and integrate with them.

Su Yi finally returned to the room with a bag of nougat. She had not originally intended to take it, after all, Gu Xiao didn’t need her help, but seeing the other party’s disappointed face, she accepted it anyway.

She lay on the bed chewing candy.

The room was a sea view room, and the sound of waves kept coming in through the open window, one wave after another.

As she listened to the voice, she was about to fall asleep when someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Su Yi muttered as she got up from the bed.

It was Xiao Yan standing outside the door.

Su Yi raised her eyebrows, took a step back to let him in, and closed the door again.

“Didn’t you just get off work?”

Xiao Yan walked to the center of the room, turned his head, and looked at Su Yi who was still standing by the door.

Suddenly, he asked, “Did I cause you trouble?”

Su Yi frowned slightly and then quickly relaxed her brows. It seemed that Xiao Yan knew that she had heard those rumors and was also aware that she was avoiding him.

Originally, she never thought that Xiao Yan would have any thoughts about her, but after hearing Zhang Jiajia’s mention that day and thinking about Xiao Yan’s usual actions, she had a vague guess in her heart.

And today Xiao Yan came to her, and just this one sentence verified her guess.

She felt a little headache.

Over the years, it was not like no one had confessed to her. Whether it was a joke in high school or a formal confession after adulthood, she could always reject them straightforwardly.

But Xiao Yan was different from those people.

Xiao Yan is… one of her people.

In fact, Su Yi has never had an accurate definition of the so-called ‘one of her people’, and she was not going to define it, which was too troublesome.

She would rather use the three words ‘one of her people’ to summarize people. People within this range were naturally much more important than others.

But even so, she never thought of developing a romantic relationship with Xiao Yan.

“It’s not a problem, but…”

“But, you don’t have the same feelings, right?” Xiao Yan kept looking at her and took over her words at the right time.

Su Yi nodded slowly, “Yes.”

Xiao Yan walked closer, closer than he usually would, so he had to lower his head slightly to look directly into Su Yi’s eyes.

“I’ve always remembered what you said at the beginning. If you don’t change your mind and just want to be single, I won’t let this kind of thing disturb your peace. But if you change your mind one day, I hope that the person who makes you change is me.”

After saying that, he didn’t wait for Su Yi to answer and retreated back to the position that the stepbrother and sister should be in.

Then, he said in a normal tone: “Have fun, and call me if you have something. I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I need to go back now.”

Su Yi was silent for a while and then nodded, “Okay, be careful on the road.”

After Xiao Yan left, Mao Tuan appeared quietly and looked at Su Yi’s face carefully.

To be honest, it had noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Yan before, but it didn’t expect that he really liked Su Yi.

If he had confessed his feelings at the beginning, Mao Tuan would only despise him.

But now, his feelings had been brewing for ten years, and the most inappropriate moment was when he stood half an arm’s length away from Su Yi and said those two sentences to her.

Mao Tuan had to say that it admired Xiao Yan a little, just for his restraint.

It couldn’t help but say a few words for Xiao Yan.

[Yi Yi, actually… It’s okay for you to have a relationship with someone. Just treat it as a try.]

Su Yi looked out the window for a long time before saying, “Have you forgotten that we don’t belong here and we will have to leave sooner or later?”

Hearing the word ‘leave’, Mao Tuan’s heart suddenly jumped. It had stayed in this world for too long, and it almost forgot.

Since she was leaving, it was best not to leave any worries behind. It would be good for both Su Yi and Xiao Yan.

Mao Tuan clenched its two fur paws.

Previously, it thought that the big devil had acquired too many human habits and was fussy. But now it realized that it was just a matter of no principle. What really mattered was that she was always sober.

Mao Tuan took a deep breath, jumped onto the windowsill, and looked at the scenery outside the window like Su Yi.

Not far away on the sea, the tide was surging.
