Chapter 1967: Save the Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The epiphyllum did not bloom on time. It only said that it was expected to happen tonight. As for when it would happen tonight, it was still uncertain.

Therefore, she had no intention of going home tonight.

Ye Jianyun wasn’t at home. When Ye Qingqiu went downstairs, Xu Wenxuan was already waiting in the living room.

After informing the servant, she left with Xu Wenxuan.

Ye Qingqiu asked curiously, “Will the epiphyllum bloom tonight?”

!!

“Yes, that’s what the people at the base said.”

“That’s indeed quite spectacular. Did you bring a camera?” Ye Qingqiu asked casually. Xu Wenxuan nodded with a smile and pointed at the trunk. “You have to bring it.”

Xu Wenxuan seemed to be very good at socializing. He hardly stopped along the way. The topics ranged from the cultivation of the epiphyllum to photography techniques. He seemed to know everything.

Ye Qingqiu rested her arm on the car door and propped her face up. She seemed to be listening, but she didn’t seem to be.

The cultivation base occupied a large area and it took about 90 minutes to get there. The base was surrounded by an iron net and there were several areas with different plants.

Summer was the season when most flowers bloomed. They were colorful and endless.

To the north were a few grayish-white buildings that occupied an exceptionally large area. There was a greenhouse inside, and some precious plant cultivation and research on new species were all in that building.

The ones outside were open to the public. The base would organize some events every year for tourists to enjoy the filming and make a profit.

There were already many tourists taking photos.

However, seeing Ye Qingqiu’s dispirited expression, Xu Wenxuan didn’t stop the car. Instead, he walked straight ahead. Ten minutes later, he arrived at a hot spring hotel hidden in the mountains.

“The epiphyllum flowers usually bloom late at night. Looking at you now, I don’t think you can last until too late. It’s still early. You can take a simple bath first. I’ll get someone to send lunch to your room.”

Ye Qingqiu entered the hotel lobby and sat on the sofa.

She had not been in a car for such a long time and was really tired.

Upon hearing Xu Wenxuan’s words, Ye Qingqiu nodded and said, “What about you? Lunch.”

Xu Wenxuan smiled and handed her the glass of water from the fridge. “The other students have arranged to have lunch together.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and twisted the cap. “Oh, so I was ostracized.”

The bottle cap didn’t move after being twisted for a long time. Her hand still hurt.

Xu Wenxuan took the bottle again and said, “I think you’d rather be alone than with many people.”

Ye Qingqiu watched as he opened the bottle and handed it to her before taking a sip.

Then, she looked up at him with a smile for a long time. “…You’ll be a good boyfriend.”

Xu Wenxuan was taken aback. “What?”

Ye Qingqiu placed the glass of water on the coffee table and said, “You’re tall, rich, handsome, good in your studies, gentle and considerate. Whoever becomes your girlfriend in the future will be blessed.”

Xu Wenxuan stared at her for a few seconds. “…Really? I didn’t realize it myself, but this kind of thing varies from person to person.”

Ye Qingqiu paused. “What do you mean?”

Xu Wenxuan took a deep breath and let out a helpless laugh.

“Everyone shouldn’t have much patience to deal with unimportant people.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes moved slightly. Looking at his expression, Xu Wenxuan could tell that she was hiding something.

Pursing his lips, he continued, “The most important thing is that once gentleness and consideration are common, it will cause unnecessary trouble for yourself. For example, you won’t take the opportunity to cling onto me. It’s a waste of time and energy.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and pondered for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.

“I really haven’t had lunch with any of my classmates. Let’s have lunch together today. I think it should be interesting.”

“Okay, the restaurant is on the top floor of the hotel. I’ll call you then.”

Xu Wenxuan was surprised, but he quickly agreed. After all, Ye Qingqiu wasn’t in a good mood. It was a good choice to go out and relax.

Ye Qingqiu took a simple shower and lay on the bed for a while before Xu Wenxuan called.

It was hot outside. The hot spring hotel and restaurant were the only decent places here.

Of course, the cost was not low.

Some people treated it as an outing. They brought food and ate outside. A few people chose to come here.

Although they were classmates, that wasn’t entirely true. There were also some who had good relationships with their classmates.

They were surprised to see Ye Qingqiu at such a gathering.

Especially when they appeared with Xu Wenxuan, most of their faces looked a little strange.

After all, before the little princess of the Ye family announced it to Li Tingshen, they had teased Ye Qingqiu and Xu Wenxuan in the group chat.

Now that she saw him in person, she felt awkward.

However, when they saw Xu Wenxuan and Ye Qingqiu, their minds started to waver again.

Everyone knew that Ye Qingqiu liked Li Tingshen. Everyone said that Ye Qingqiu was close to throwing herself at him.

The two of them had just confirmed their relationship not long ago. Wasn’t it the honeymoon period?

They couldn’t wait to spend the whole day together. Why did they have the time to come here?

There was no smoke without fire. In the eyes of others, the slightest abnormality was a storm.

Hence, when they saw Ye Qingqiu’s unexpected appearance, they thought that something had happened between Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen.

Although it wasn’t reliable, it was true this time.

Someone who was careless or watching the commotion spoke.

“Student Ye, how rare. I remember that you didn’t appear at our graduation party.”

Ye Qingqiu found a seat by the window and sat down. She smiled at the person who spoke and said, “How are you as pretty as the epiphyllum?”

Ye Qingqiu smiled heartlessly. It sounded like a retort, but it also sounded like a joke. If she was angry, she would seem petty.

“Alright, hurry up and order dinner. I don’t know when the flowers will bloom tonight. Remember to rest for a while later, lest you miss it.”

Xu Wenxuan had been the class monitor for many years and his words carried some weight.

Everyone quickly interrupted, “Don’t underestimate us. We’ll spend the night together.”

Xu Wenxuan went to count the meals. During the process, a few more people came.

Yin Ruijue, Chi Yaoyao, and Xu Qingzhi.

Seeing Ye Qingqiu here, their reactions were more unexpected than everyone present, especially Yin Ruijue.

Blinking her eyes, she leaned over and stared at Ye Qingqiu for a long time.

“F*ck, it’s really…”

Ye Qingqiu lifted her eyes and sized him up for a while. She rested her chin on her hand and her face was as light as the ripples on the surface of a lake. She was lazy and exuded an ethereal aura.

“Young Master Yin, isn’t your reaction… a little too much?”

Yin Ruijue sized her up for a long time before sitting opposite her. “I’ve never seen you in such an occasion. Moreover, you didn’t cultivate your relationship with Li Tingshen and came out alone… How can Li Tingshen be at ease with such a beautiful face?”

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and asked, “Can anyone do anything to me?”

Yin Ruijue thought for a while and said, “Yes, that’s true. Just based on the reputation of the Ye family’s little princess, no one would dare to do anything to you. Indeed, you’re more suitable for him. It’s easier…”
