Chapter 56.2: Dr. Fu, why are you so kind? (2)

Suddenly, light appeared before her.

Ji Qingyings eyes lit up again and she subconsciously rushed towards it.

It was moonlight.

Moonlight pierced through the foggy forest, and as she went towards it, the fog started lift only to reveal a long and narrow road.

For a long time, she simply walked and walked.

But the road seemed endless and she was soon very tired.

Just as thoughts of giving up started to emerge, a man appeared not too far away.

He was looking at her with wide open arms, calling to her to come over.

When their eyes met, Ji Qingying ran over without any hesitation.

The men then held her in his arms. And then, hands in tow, he led her out.

Qingying.

A familiar low voice sounded in her ears.

Ji Qingyings eyelashes trembled before slightly opening her eyes to look at him.

Fu Yanzhi looked at her frazzled expression and sighed in relief, Were you having a nightmare?

Ji Qingying made an affirmative chirp before burying her head in his arms, Yes, though I also saw you in my dream.

Fu Yanzhi stretched out a hand to gently massage the back of her neck to comfort her.

What did I do?

You called my name.

Fu Yanzhi curled his lips into a smile as he whispered in her ear, Well, I was calling out to you.

Ji Qingying then stretched her body before hooking herself on his neck, Are we there yet?

Soon.

And as soon as his voice fell, the car stopped.

Fu Yanzhi didnt ask the driver to drop them off directly in the carpark, because if an unregistered car wanted to come in, it had to go through a somewhat troublesome process to register.

So he had asked the driver to only drive them to the main entrance of their building. He would then just walk in with Ji Qingying in his arms.

You can put me down, Ji Qingying said while looking at him. I can walk.

Fu Yanzhi nodded. After he said a few words to the driver, he then walked inside while still holding her hand.

Ji Qingying lowered her gaze to look at their intertwined fingers. In my dream, you were also holding my hand, she said smiling.

Fu Yanzhis eyebrows raised slightly. Intrigued, he asked gently, And then what?

Ji Qingying shook her head, Thats it. You woke me up then.

Hearing this, Fu Yanzhi joked, What a pity then!

Why?

He kept his voice low, as if he was saying something serious, Only holding hands and nothing else. What a pity.

Ji Qingying: .

She couldn't hold back and was amused by him.

Why are you like this? she said teasingly as she couldnt help but be amused by his antics.

Fu Yanzhis brows raised again, Like what?

Ji Qingying drew closer, hugging his arms as they walked leisurely towards their home. Indecent, she whispered.

Fu Yanzhi turned his head and kissed her on the lips, Well, I am.

Ji Qingying didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But she had to say, she couldnt help but feel better with Fu Yanzhi amusing her like this.

She was able to forget all those messed up matters.

After they got home, Fu Yanzhi went straight to the kitchen to make her some drip tea.

Meanwhile, Ji Qingying went to the bathroom to freshen up.

When she finished, she found that several messages had been sent to her phone.

Some were from Chen Xinyu, while others were from schoolmates she didnt have much contact with before.

All of the messages from her former schoolmates were simply congratulatory messages, none of which was done with much sincerity.

So Ji Qingying directly skipped them all and went straight to Chen Xinyus message.

Chen Xinyu: [Are you home yet?]

Chen Xinyu: [Call me when you get there.]

Chen Xinyu: [I just looked at our class group chat just now! So that shame went to the banquet?! Did you bump into him?]

Ji Qingying just stood there stunned as she continued to just hold her phone.

When Fu Yanzhi arrived with the tea, he asked, Is something wrong?

Ji Qingying looked at him, Im going to give Xinyu a call.

Fu Yanzhi nodded only to move the cup to her lips, Drink this tea first before making the call.

Ji Qingying looked at the incoming cup before stretching out her own hand to take it, I can drink it myself.

Fu Yanzhi didnt force the issue.

But he nagged her again by saying, Im going to take a bath now, but you have to promise me to finish drinking this calming tea first before making the call.

Okay.

After Fu Yanzhi left the room, Ji Qingying took the cup to the balcony.

The evening breeze mixed with the scent of flowers blew over the lake, smelling incredibly

Ji Qingying was wearing a pink nightgown that swayed with the wind.

Ji Qingying just stared at it for a while before she dialed Chen Xinyus number.

Hello?

A voice soon replied, Youre home?

Yeah.

Ji Qingying leaned on the railing and continued, I just got back.

Chen Xinyu audibly sighed in relief as she asked seriously, Did you bump into him?

Yes.

Hearing Ji Qingyings dispirited tone, Chen Xinyu gritted her teeth, I knew it! So how are you feeling? Are you okay?

Ji Qingying thought for a while before replying, Cant say Im completely alright, but it isnt that bad either.

She then grew more serious, At first I completely broke down, but now Im okay.

Chen Xinyu: Thats good.

Dont think about it too much. None of it was your fault anyways. Theyre just a couple of disgusting

Ji Qingying smiled bitterly.

Feeling helpless, Chen Xinyu asked, Did you come to the banquet alone?

No. Ji Qingying didnt hide it from her as she replied, I was with Fu Yanzhi.

Chen Xingyu was surprised.

Ji Qingying continued, Ye Qing is Fu Yanzhis mom. Ive told you before, right?
