Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1301: Nightfall

Even though he wanted to talk more with Qiaoqiao, the night was short, so Qin Yize said softly, "Qiaoqiao, don’t worry, when the time is right, you’ll know everything you want to know."

The environment they were in was different from others. It was somewhat complex and not something others could understand or know about.

Therefore, some things couldn’t be stated too plainly.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, knowing that Qin Yize made sense, so she didn’t continue with that topic and instead said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Director Tian Dan I introduced you to today, do you know who she is to Uncle Fang?"

"She’s his childhood sweetheart," Qin Yize replied decisively, then reached out to dim the lamp to its lowest setting.

"How did you know, and why didn’t you tell me?" Gu Qiaoqiao was displeased, glaring at Qin Yize, not expecting him to know.

"I only found out yesterday and haven’t had the chance to tell you..." Qin Yize lowered his head, gazing idly at the little beauty under the soft light, her eyes full of charm, exceedingly beautiful.

Qin Yize’s gaze deepened.

At this moment, it was not the time to discuss people unrelated to them; the two of them were the most important.

However, obviously, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t think so. The events of the past few days had left her with many things she wanted to ask Qin Yize.

Seeing Qin Yize’s indifferent expression, Gu Qiaoqiao simply gave him a push, signaling for him to take her words seriously.

"How did you know, and why didn’t you tell me?" Gu Qiaoqiao continued to glare at Qin Yize with displeasure.

"I only found out yesterday and haven’t gotten around to telling you..." Although to Qin Yize, this wasn’t of great importance, since Gu Qiaoqiao asked, he had to answer her seriously.

Otherwise, this little girl would not let it go.

"Did you hear it from Fang Qing?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"So, how did you find out?" Qin Yize asked Qiaoqiao first; he didn’t think the Fang family would voluntarily tell Gu Qiaoqiao about this matter.

After all, matters like this belong to the Fang family’s internal affairs, and these two individuals are quite special, with many matters that others shouldn’t know about.

Besides, this matter had nothing to do with their current activities, and there was no need for Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen to know about it.

"Xiao Wen and I accidentally overheard it outside the door."

"Oh, I heard it from Fang Qing," Qin Yize said leisurely.

"Childhood sweethearts who grew up together without a care in the world, sigh, how did they let things drag on until now?" Gu Qiaoqiao said, seemingly quite moved.

Qin Yize paused, a faint smile playing at his lips, "Qiaoqiao, what are you trying to say?"

Gu Qiaoqiao sensed something strange about Qin Yize’s words, "Just that it’s not been easy for them, that’s all." She then glanced sidelong at Qin Yize and said nonchalantly, "Are you overthinking it?"

"I was just saying casually..."

Qin Yize quickly assured her, though he was just speaking casually, but when Gu Qiaoqiao responded that way, he suddenly recalled the Bai family neighbor and unexpectedly remembered many past matters, despite having no thoughts himself. Sometimes, for unknown reasons, similar words leave him a bit startled. At this point, Qin Yize felt a bit despondent.

So he shifted the topic.

"I see you’ve lost a lot of weight recently again."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes brightened, "Really, have I really lost weight? That’s great."

Qin Yize frowned unconsciously, with his intention being concern, so how come Gu Qiaoqiao seemed so happy?

Sometimes, a girl’s thoughts are indeed hard to fathom.

He felt somewhat speechless.

At that moment, the bright moonlight was gradually obscured by dark clouds, a wind blew in, the air turned ever more moist, and if he wasn’t mistaken, it was evident that a heavy rain would soon fall.

And such humid air made people a bit uncomfortable, so Gu Qiaoqiao snapped her fingers, setting up a barrier talisman, not only isolating the moist air but also preventing others from hearing their conversation.

Perhaps because in recent times they were always on the road, Qiaoqiao indeed had lost weight, and he felt a bit pained. All the weight she had painstakingly gained before was gone. But evidently, Qiaoqiao didn’t think so, and Qin Yize momentarily found himself at a loss, yet he knew he still needed to say what he had to say.

Qin Yize thought for a moment and murmured quietly, "Qiaoqiao, your health is still a bit weak, you should strengthen your exercise in the future..."

"How about going with me to the base’s training camp for a few days?" he continued.

"I don’t want to go..."

She knew her own body well, what would she do at the training camp, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to bulk up with muscles.

"In the future, you should run in the mornings too, it’s all my fault for indulging you, seeing you don’t like to get up early, once we’re back at the Imperial Capital, as long as I’m home, I’ll run with you, alright?"

Qin Yize persevered, continuing to quietly negotiate with Qiaoqiao.

Frankly, this had always been his idea.

"I’m perfectly healthy..." Gu Qiaoqiao finally spoke lazily, "Don’t worry, when we’re back at the Imperial Capital, I’ll eat more to get fatter, okay?"

As for whether she would actually gain weight, well, that’s her own business.

Qin Yize didn’t press further on this topic, instead, he reached out and embraced Qiaoqiao.

Gu Qiaoqiao struggled for a moment, but seeing it was pointless, she simply leaned into his embrace. Qin Yize’s tall frame seemed to envelop her, providing a warm harbor, filling her with a profound sense of security.

But from her lips came a murmur, "It seems like it’s going to rain outside, in four hours we are set to depart..."

In such a season, the weather changed unpredictably; a rain could come at a moment’s notice, yet neither felt sleepy, it seemed there was still much left to say, so they continued to chat here and there.

By now, the lamp had long been turned off by Qin Yize, without moonlight outside, the room appeared pitch dark.

Yet, the senses were distinctly sharp.

Qiaoqiao’s skin was warm with a slight coolness beneath, feeling comfortably snug, Qin Yize sighed softly, "So good."

Gu Qiaoqiao playfully inquired, "What’s so good?"

Qin Yize satisfied her vanity, "Having you is so good!"

"Hehe..."

In the dark, Gu Qiaoqiao’s soft, giggling laughter came, then, Qin Yize whispered, "Sleep now."

Soon after, the room, filled with a gentle fragrance, fell into silence.

Only the faint, gentle breathing seemed to faintly linger in the spring-like room.

Outside, the sound of the wind grew increasingly louder.

A summer downpour seemed to be just on the verge of breaking.

The wind blew in fits and starts, rustling the begonia leaves in the courtyard, then the patter of raindrops began.

For some unknown reason, in such a rainy night, those sleeping inside seemed to rest easier and more peacefully.

Perhaps it’s a psychological contrast of sorts.
