Her soft hair spread down like a waterfall, some falling on her shoulders. Against that face, she looked astonishingly white.
She looked inwards with evasive eyes and said, "Mr. Qin, I can't sleep, can I talk to you?"
Chatting? Qin Mujue held the doorknob, a little unhappy: "Miss Su, I'm sorry, isn't it a bit late?"
She bit her lip: "I know it's late, but I know my bed very well. I've been tossing and turning in the room for a long time and haven't dared to sleep. I'll just sit for a while, twenty minutes... no no no... ten minutes, Mr. Qin
If you don’t want to, you can take five minutes…”
Seeing that he still didn't speak, she changed her words: "Just one minute."
Qin Mu's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
At this moment, the tenant in the opposite room came back and looked at Qin Muzhao and Su Ruo, with a narrow and ambiguous smile in his eyes.
A lonely man and a widower stood at the door in the middle of the night. There was no need to guess. She must have thought of him as a filthy man who took advantage of his business trip to engage in prostitution.
It seemed really bad to be stuck at the door like this. Qin Muzhai hesitated for a moment and pulled her into the room.
Su Ruo seemed to be in a good mood after entering the door. She looked around curiously, seeming to want to see how everything was different from the one in her room. Qin Muzhen followed behind, watching the little jumping figure...
…
An involuntary sense of familiarity came to his mind, and he blurted out: "Is this your first time here?"
***** *****
Qin Mujie was not at home, and Xia Tong was too lazy to make any more tricks for dinner, so he just let Ran Ran make a curry rice and let it go. After dinner, she came to the living room bored and planned to watch TV.
But he was attracted by a piece of news: A life occurred at a resort owned by Di Sheng Group, and the family vowed to pursue it to the end!
Then I read on, and the content was about someone at Xizi Resort who was swimming at the beach. As a result, his legs cramped while swimming, and the lifeguard on the shore didn't pay attention, and he drowned in the end.
Di Sheng originally planned to pay more money to settle the matter, but the family members refused to let it go and insisted on a public apology and an explanation from Di Sheng. They also said that if they didn't apologize, they would go to court.
Xia Tong watched all the way and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Now that Qin Mu was in Macau, he didn't have time to deal with this matter. He hoped that the trouble would not get bigger and bigger.
Just as he was about to turn off the TV, his eyes froze because of a figure on the screen.
That's Nie Sheng, right? The man on TV who's been comforting his family members is Nie Sheng, right?
Shouldn't he be staying in Macau with Qin Muzhen now? Why would he deal with this life incident in Xizi?
Could it be that Qin Mu deceived her?
He didn't go with Nie Sheng at all, but...
Xia Tong suddenly stood up, his face suddenly turned pale.

Qin Muzhen followed behind, staring at the little jumping figure...
An involuntary sense of familiarity came to his mind, and he blurted out: "Is this your first time here?"
Su Ruo turned around, paused for a moment, and replied: "Yes, the first time."
The man seemed to be quietly relieved, but also a little disappointed. He said nothing more and turned around and walked towards the balcony.
Su Ruo followed, "Has Mr. Qin been here many times?"
He held the tea cup, looked at the dark sky, and said: "I have been here many times before, but I have never been here in recent years."
"Why?" She was a little curious.
Qin Mujue turned around, glanced at her, and said nothing.
The two stood in silence for a while, and he suddenly asked: "How old are you this year?"
Su Ruo replied: "Almost 23, I just graduated from University A last year."
"Is that so..." He lowered his head, a little thoughtful.
"What about you, Mr. Qin?" she asked, "Which school did you graduate from?"
"I went to Germany when I was a teenager, where I studied in high school and college, and then returned to the country after graduation."
Su Ruo's eyes were bright and she was looking forward to it: "Germany, such a romantic country, I must have met Mr. and Mrs. Qin there..."
His smile faded.
After that, the two of them held the handrail and looked at the night sky in silence for more than ten minutes without anyone speaking.
Perhaps it was because the time and place were too similar. Tonight, he unconsciously thought of some past events and was a little lost in thought.
Through the sparse sky, he could see countless twinkling stars, crystal clear and bright, but each one was very lonely. He heard that after death, a person will become a star in the sky. In the past, he had no idea about this superstition.
The statement is always laughed off.
But today, he was really curious, was she as lonely as the stars in the sky now?
Will she miss him in the days without him?
Lowering her head, she took another sip of tea, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Su Ruo's increasingly pale face. She rested her hands on the armrests, her face turning pale and blue, as if she was feeling very uncomfortable.
Qin Mujie put down his cup and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Ruo stroked her chest and said, "It's an old problem. I'm not in good health. When I come to a new place, it's easy to get acclimated. I have vomiting, fatigue, and poor sleep..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He lowered his gaze. If he knew she was in such bad health, he would not have brought her to Macau.
Qin Mujie helped her to the bed in the room, lay down, covered her cup, and said, "I'll call customer service to buy some medicine."
She grabbed his sleeve and said, "No, I brought the medicine and put it in my bag. The bag is in the second compartment of the cabinet. You can see it as soon as you open it."
He nodded: "You lie down first, and I'll get you some medicine."
After saying that, she picked up her keys and hurried out. Opening the door, she opened the closet and found her small beige leather bag. When she opened it, she found that the contents in the bag were very simple, only a wallet, a mobile phone, and a box of yellow
The packaged medicine. He took it out, read the instructions, and after making sure it was the medicine she mentioned, he put it in his pocket.
He was about to close the purse for her, but under the dim light, he noticed something familiar, curled up in the corner of the purse. It looked very familiar.
His heart tightened slightly and he took out the things.
It was a gold wire bracelet with exquisite craftsmanship and texture. It was engraved with a phoenix pattern and inlaid with various gemstones. Compared with today's various colored gold and diamond jewelry, this bracelet is not fashionable enough and has an overall elegant look.
But it is simple and elegant, with the carvings of time deposited in it. It is as if the deep love between lovers is wrapped around it, endlessly.
The reason why he paid special attention to it was because he also had a similar bracelet. The difference with this one was that it was engraved with the pattern of a coiled dragon.
That was what she bought specially when he and Manru traveled to Yunnan a few years ago.
At that time, he thought the bracelet was too old-fashioned and didn't want it. She pouted and said angrily, "If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else!"
As soon as he heard what she said, he immediately put it on his wrist, and she burst into tears and laughed.
But what he was curious about was why Su Ruo also had an identical pair of bracelets?
