Chapter 290: If You Don’t Leave, I Won’t Abandon ③
Nie Qiu’s words gradually calmed Li Kai down. He wasn’t stupid and naturally understood what Nie Qiu meant. But he… still didn’t want to separate.
He gently held Nie Qiu in his arms, “I understand, Nie Qiu… We won’t break up. I’ll study hard for the exam and get into Provincial First High School. I’ll wait for you at Provincial First High School.” No matter what, he just didn’t want to break up.
It was as if if they broke up, Nie Qiu wouldn’t be his anymore. With cases like Ye Haifei, Peng Yu Yang, and Ai Si Yuan, Li Kai felt that if he didn’t tie Nie Qiu to his side and put his own label on her, Nie Qiu would definitely be snatched away by someone else.
“Li Kai, let’s break up!” Nie Qiu said softly, “If, when you’re twenty, the person you like is still me, no matter what, don’t let me go. If, before then, you’ve become more mature and met someone you like and love more…”
“No, I won’t like anyone else,” Li Kai said in a low voice. “I only like you, only you.”
“Then you have to prove it to me.”
Let’s see if time can dilute some things.
“Okay, Nie Qiu, we’ll break up.” Li Kai also realized that rather than wanting to break up, it was more important that Nie Qiu wanted to test his heart. Since Nie Qiu felt that dating at their current age was inappropriate, then… as she said, if he still liked her, she would be with him. “I will get into Provincial First High School, I will get into Q University… I will prove to you that I… like you, for a lifetime.”
After saying this, Li Kai looked down at Nie Qiu leaning in his arms. If he still liked her, she would be with him. If he didn’t like her anymore, would she not try to keep him?
In the end, the one who falls in love first loses.
Nie Qiu smiled, “Okay, I’ll wait for you to prove it to me.”
Huang Yan had been shopping with Nie Aifang for a long time. It wasn’t until she received a text message from Zhang Haiyang that she took Nie Aifang to the school gate. Nie Qiu was standing at the school gate, and Li Kai was standing not far from Nie Qiu. The atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. Nie Aifang noticed it, but the thick-skinned Huang Yan did not.
Nie Aifang didn’t take Nie Qiu back to the hospital but returned home. Currently, Nie Aifang and Nie Aiwen slept in the room at home, while Nie Qiu slept in a partitioned space in the living room, separated by a cloth curtain. Inside, there was a single bed and a cabinet. As soon as she got home, she went into her small curtained room.
“Qiu Qiu, I’ll cook first. After lunch, we’ll go to the hospital,” Nie Aifang said, rolling up her sleeves as she walked into the kitchen.
“Okay,” Nie Qiu replied and began searching her schoolbag for her gold-inlaid jade little rabbit necklace, but she couldn’t find it after searching for a long time… She rummaged through it haphazardly and searched her cabinet thoroughly, but still couldn’t find it.
A few days ago, Zhang Qidi came to the hospital to see her and asked why her relatives hadn’t been stocking the warehouse anymore. He asked if something had happened. He said that his brother had been procuring goods himself outside these days, even going to other farms to procure goods for Zijin Hotel. Although he made a profit, the vegetables had become more demanding.
But… how was she supposed to explain this?
Since she couldn’t find it, she took out her schoolbag to search again. She took out all the books and notebooks from her schoolbag, and a golden chain slid out from the schoolbag, falling to the ground.
The light green jade shattered upon impact, leaving only the small gold frame that held the jade… And at the moment the jade broke, a voice entered Nie Qiu’s ears. Nie Qiu, who hadn’t noticed the jade falling, now saw the jade stone that had shattered on the ground.
“Nie Qiu… I’m sorry. I left the space without your permission. You were on the brink of death at that time, and all the plants and animals in the space were restless. I couldn’t suppress the surging spiritual power of the space even with all my spiritual power, so I left the space and went to see you at the hospital. Actually… at the hospital, you had already died once. I saved you with ten thousand years of spiritual power. Nie Qiu… goodbye. It was actually very fortunate to have met you. At least I know… the changes of this ten-thousand-year era…”
