Early the following morning, Xu Fan crawled out of bed bright and early.
Although he hadn't managed to pry any information from Qin ngyue's lips the night before, he still intended to et her.
Qin ngyue had set the eting place at a coffee shop on The Bund, Xu Fan drove there and soon found the person he was to et outside a coffee shop.
It wasn't working hours, and today Qin ngyue was in casual attire, now sitting at an outdoor table at the coffee shop, engrossed in a newspaper.
As Xu Fan approached the table where Qin ngyue was sitting, he greeted her.
"Yueyue, I've arrived."
"Mhm."
In response to Xu Fan's greeting, Qin ngyue just humd indifferently, continuing to hold the newspaper in her hands without moving an inch.
"..."
Xu Fan felt awkward and could only thicken his skin and sit down in front of her.
The waitress, noticing that their table was now complete, trotted over and asked Qin ngyue what she would like.
"A cup of Blue Mountain coffee."
Qin ngyue ordered a coffee while looking at the newspaper in a bland tone, and Xu Fan, on the other hand, was utterly ignored.
The waitress was embarrassed.
Aren't these two together? Why aren't you ordering anything for him?
"Uh, sir, may I ask what you…"
"He doesn't need anything; you can go."
Before Xu Fan could even open his mouth to place an order, Qin ngyue had already sent the waitress away.
Watching the waitress walk away and giving him sympathetic glances, Xu Fan really wanted to cry.
I knew it, I shouldn't have co today!
It was around nine in the morning, the sun was warm, and sitting outside a coffee shop with a beautiful woman, gazing at the nearby ocean and blue sky, chatting away, truly seed like bliss. But for Xu Fan at that mont, it was extrely awkward.
He had been sitting for nearly fifteen minutes, and Qin ngyue had not once put down the newspaper.
Even the coffee that had been delivered hadn't been touched.
"Uh, Yueyue, what news are you reading?"
If this went on, Xu Fan felt he would suffocate, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"A policewoman breaking the law she knew, stabbing eighteen tis, taking a life."
Qin ngyue uttered these words indifferently, and Xu Fan felt a chill in his heart.
Sothing seed off?
"Why... Why did she do that?"
Xu Fan asked cautiously.
Qin ngyue snorted and said, "That boy, under the policewoman's watch, hooked up with her best friend, acting despicably and shalessly. So, she killed him."
"..."
As Qin ngyue spoke, she gave him a cold look, and Xu Fan felt goosebumps all over.
The more he listened, the more he felt like she was talking about himself.
"That can't be true, can it? Let have a look."
Saying this, Xu Fan reached out to grab the newspaper to see for himself the man who bore so resemblance to him.
"Hum, not yet."
"But soon, it will be in the papers."
Before Xu Fan could even touch a corner of the newspaper, Qin ngyue slamd it on the table and lunged at him.
Oh my god!
Fortunately, Xu Fan had kept on his toes. Seeing Qin ngyue's ferocious deanor, he stopped thinking and took to his heels!
"Stop right there, you bastard!"
Having held her breath all the way from Jinling to Shanghai, Qin ngyue had been waiting for this day for quite so ti.
Today, if she didn't strip a layer off Xu Fan, she would never let it go!
She imdiately gave chase.
"Help! Murder!"
"Yueyue! Why must you torture yourself like this!"
Xu Fan was now sprinting ahead, turning his head to see Qin ngyue relentlessly chasing him, feeling a mix of helplessness.
"Last na Xu, I've tolerated you for a long ti! Today, if you're brave enough, then stop running, I want to have it out with you one-on-one!"
Being led by Xu Fan to the beach, Qin ngyue was so angry seeing him maintain just out of reach, she nearly ran out of breath.
"An old acquaintance from a foreign land stabbing in the back, how could I not run?"
Seeing Qin ngyue now panting with hands on hips, Xu Fan finally stopped running.
What could he do? He was also desperate...
Not run and wait to be beaten up?
"Pah! You consider yourself an old friend of mine? You're nothing but a hooligan! Keren is your teacher, and you didn't even spare her, are you still human?"
If it weren't for Keren telling herself, I might still be in the dark about this matter.
To think they were doing this right under my nose, the very thought made Qin ngyue's eyes redden.
She couldn't tell if she was feeling jealous, or she was righteously condemning Xu Fan.
"Yueyue, why are you crying?"
Xu Fan couldn't help but frown when he saw Qin ngyue's rimd eyes.
He couldn't care less about whether Qin ngyue wanted to lay into him; in a mont of anxiety, he started walking toward her.
"You, stay away from , or else I won't be polite!"
She should have pounced on him and beaten him up good, but when the opportunity arose, Qin ngyue beca sowhat nervously reluctant, stepping back a few paces.
"I, I just got sand in my eyes, that's all!"
Since they were on the beach, this explanation didn't seem too far-fetched; seeing Qin ngyue rubbing her eyes, Xu Fan anxiously said, "Don't rub them, it'll only make it worse."
"Don't move, let help you blow it out."
Qin ngyue's heart raced as Xu Fan, unafraid, moved closer to blow into her eyes.
In her panic, she fiercely pushed Xu Fan away!
"Get off! I don't need your help!"
With a forceful push, Xu Fan tumbled down onto the sand.
She thought she'd only push him away, but who knew he'd be so easily toppled.
Seeing him now motionless on the sand, Qin ngyue frowned.
"Xu Fan, get up, don't pretend like I don't know how capable you are."
Given his skills, there's no way he could have been knocked out just like that.
Qin ngyue didn't believe it for a second, and kicked Xu Fan's butt forcefully, warning, "Keep pretending, and I'll bury you alive!"
"..."
Still no response, Qin ngyue started to feel sothing was wrong.
"Damn..."
She crouched down, lifting Xu Fan's head, and cursed quietly upon seeing the bulge of a large stone under his head in the sand.
"Hey, Xu Fan, don't scare now..."
She just wanted to vent on him, never anticipating it would go this far; clutching Xu Fan's head, Qin ngyue shook it urgently, hoping he wasn't too seriously hurt.
"Hey, wake up!"
But no matter how much she shook, Xu Fan remained utterly still, and Qin ngyue's panic increased by the mont; she nervously put her delicate fingers to Xu Fan's nose to feel for his breath.
The breath that should have been there, was now hanging by a thread, like a flickering candle in the wind.
This is bad...
Qin ngyue frantically scratched her head, what about the joke of stabbing soone eighteen tis, how could it turn real?
Now placing her hands over Xu Fan's chest, she began pressing down forcefully.
"Thank heavens...thank heavens..."
Fortunately, her efforts seed to be having an effect; Xu Fan's breathing improved, and she prepared to move on to the next step, pinching his nose.
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation...
