Chapter 88 A Letter Arrives

  "This is just an ordinary ringtone, what can it represent?" I somewhat angrily asked Qin Ke in return.

  "Is that so? I think this ringtone isn't ordinary for you, it must be very meaningful to you." Qin Ke Yi asked calmly, but my emotions couldn't calm down, I admit that Qin Ke Yi's words hit the weak point of my heart.

  "This will do!!" I snatched my phone from Qin Ke's hand and deleted "At Least You Left Early". The delete button that had been hesitated countless times was pressed down so quickly and decisively this time.

  "The you in my phone has been deleted... but what about the one in your heart?" Maybe it was because I had snatched the phone from her hands too roughly, but when Qin Ke said this, tears also fell from the corners of her eyes at the same time, and half of the anger in my heart was extinguished.

  "What do you want me to do then? Should we go to Zhuhai and have a face-to-face talk with her?" I tried to adjust my tone, but my emotions were still somewhat agitated.

  "It's okay... I've already been there..." Qin Ke said to me, wiping away her tears.

  "You've been there!!! You went to Zhuhai!?! Didn't you come back from Shanghai?" I asked Qin Ke with some tension and confusion.

  "I went to Zhuhai first and saw her briefly, then I took it from my classmate in Shanghai..."

  "What are you doing?! She's already married and has nothing to do with me anymore!! Why are you still bothering her life!!" Hearing Qin Ke Yi's words, I couldn't control my emotions anymore and shouted at her.

  "What's with the excitement... Do you think I went there to quarrel with her or engage in a medieval duel?! I admit my temper is bad! But I'm not a shrew! Although I also don't understand why I would impulsively do something so stupid and boring! But at least I still have some rationality!" Qin Ke's eyes, which had just dried up, began to well up with tears again.

  "Sorry...... I didn't mean it...... Why did you go find her?" I realized that I seemed to be overreacting, so I changed my tone and calmly asked Qin Ke.

  "I don't know why I wanted to go see her, but the day I returned from Korea, when I got off the plane and walked into the arrivals hall, hearing the words 'Zhuhai' on the airport's broadcast suddenly gave me an urge to go to Zhuhai and see her. I don't know why I had that thought at that moment, it was just a split-second decision. So after calling Zhao Lijia, I bought a ticket and flew over..."

  "Have you seen her?" I asked anxiously.

  "Hmm! I see... " Qin Ke nodded lightly and said.

  "What did you... say?"

  "What do you think we'll say?" Qin Ke asked with a smile, despite the tears in her eyes. I could only shake my head to indicate that I had no idea - I really couldn't imagine what kind of scene would unfold when these two women got together.

  "She didn't know who I was, nor did she know that I'm your current girlfriend. Zhao Lijia and I agreed to pretend to be her middle school classmates and went to Zhuhai for a trip. She treated us well and even let me and Zhao Lijia stay at their home for one night..."

  "Then... have you seen her husband?" I blurted out subconsciously.

  "Are you really concerned about this?" Qin Ke asked me again with a cold smile.

  "I was just casually asking..."

  Her husband is away on a business trip... I haven't seen him. But I saw their wedding photo, he's not bad, he's the department manager of a company, they met while working at that company. After hearing Qin Ke's words, I didn't have any extra thoughts, suddenly feeling very relieved, as if the only worries in my heart had also disappeared with these words.

  "Don't you want to know how she's been lately?" Qin Ke suddenly said to the person who was lost in thought beside him.

  "I think she must be doing well, finding a good place to settle down. Isn't that the ultimate goal for many women?" I sighed and said to Qin Ke.

  "But I still feel that she can't forget you... That night, the three of us lay on a big bed and talked a lot, including about you. Most of it was me listening to them talk, but I could sense that she still misses you very much..." Women often use their sixth sense to intimidate men with unfounded claims, and Qin Ke Yi is no exception.

  "Why are you always holding onto this issue?! Does it make sense?! We haven't been in touch for a long time, she's already married, what are you still worried about?!" I said to Qin Ke Yi with some impatience. "I'm telling you very clearly now! It's already impossible between us! Moreover, we haven't been in touch for a long time! Don't get entangled in this issue again, okay?"

  "It's been a long time since we last contacted each other... Hmph... Is that so? Don't you think your close online friend is quite strange?"

  "What's strange? What does it mean?"

  "Don't you think she's like a person from the content of her conversation with you?"

  "Who?"

  "It's Tong Chen! I don't know if you have this feeling? After reading those chat records, I feel like it!" Actually, Qin Ke Yi's suspicion was also a thought that had flashed through my mind before, but at the time I didn't think much of it and felt it was unlikely.

  "It's impossible... it can't be her..."

  "I forgot to tell you, when I came back, I also wanted to take a look at your chat records with her, so I opened your QQ, but unexpectedly saw again the message she left for you, saying that she had sent an email to your QQ mailbox... The email is still in your mailbox and I didn't read it... I think it must be something important, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to send you an email in such a grand way...". Thanks to Qin Ke Yi's reminder, I suddenly remembered that she said she would send me an email. Recently, due to emotional issues, I haven't been online for a long time. Fortunately, Qin Ke Yi didn't read it, otherwise who knows what unpleasantness might have happened again.

  "You'd better go take a good look at that letter, and then think carefully about what's going on between us... See, I'm not being unreasonable... I don't want to be with someone who doesn't understand me, so let's all just take some time to think things over these next few days... I'll move back into the dorm tomorrow." Qin Ke Yi said slowly, her eyes still red from crying, before turning around and preparing to get out of the car.

  "You don't have to go back to the dormitory and bother with that..." I suddenly said to Qin Ke Yi as she was about to get off, "I'll be staying at Zhang Wei's place for the next few days..." Qin Ke Yi didn't react to my words, went to the trunk to retrieve her suitcase, and slowly walked into the building...

  Although the rain was still falling and showed no signs of stopping, my speed did not slow down due to the heavy rain, because I was equally curious about the contents of that letter.

  I parked my car under Zhang Wei's building and ran upstairs quickly, knocking on the door forcefully.

  "Damn! I thought it was a vendetta or something!? Why so much force?" Zhang Wei complained to me after opening the door.

  "Didn't disturb you, did I?" I panted and said to Zhang Wei.

  "What's going on...? What does it mean?" Zhang Wei asked with some curiosity.

  "You didn't... those two...?" Because I still used my usual old eyes to look at Zhang Wei, so I imagined that when Zhang Wei opened the door earlier, he must have been in a disheveled state, but when I saw his behavior after opening the door and it was vastly different from what I had imagined, I couldn't believe it.

  "I've already said I'm going to turn over a new leaf, from now on I'll only have spiritual exchanges with these people!" Zhang Wei said to me with a resolute gaze like a revolutionary.

  "Alright, I believe you. Let me use the computer..." I didn't have time to judge whether Zhang Wei's words were a momentary impulse or a genuine realization of his mistake, and hurriedly ran towards the room with the computer.

  Sitting in front of the computer, opening QQ and ignoring many people's messages, directly entering the mailbox to find that email...

  "Hello, brother-in-law."

  Please let me call you that, and I have always hoped to be able to call you that. I even more hope that one day I will have the chance to call you that in front of you and my cousin, but now it seems like it's already impossible...

  You probably don't know who I am, so let me introduce myself. I'm Tong Chen's cousin, the silly girl who listened to you pouring your heart out after you and my sister broke up. I don't even know why I added you back then, but one time I saw my sister online and she happened to mention your screen name, so I added you. Although my sister and I haven't seen each other in years, we've always been close, like real sisters, and she's told me a lot about what happened between you two. From her descriptions, I got the feeling that you're an amazing person, which made me curious about you. And I didn't want to see my sister being unhappy all the time because of you, so I started chatting with you online, hoping to help you and my sister make up, even though I know she wronged you...

  From the beginning of our chat, I can feel your love for your sister and understand you more clearly. Your sister was right, you are indeed an excellent person. As a result, chatting with you online has gradually become a habit of mine. Although high school life is very busy, I always try to squeeze out time to chat with you. Sometimes you may be too busy to respond to me, but seeing your responses like "hehe" or "uh-huh" can still make me feel very satisfied. If I couldn't meet you online, I would feel that doing anything is meaningless...

  It wasn't until the day you told me you had a new girlfriend that I suddenly realized I might have developed feelings for you. That day, I was crying in front of the screen while chatting with you... You might think I'm childish for having feelings for someone I've never met, my sister's ex-boyfriend no less. Sometimes I think it's laughable too, but at the same time, I understand my emotions - I really didn't know when I started liking you...

  But I'm very clear about the gap between my sister and me, and also very clear about your feelings with your current girlfriend. So I can only seal up my feelings for you deep in my heart, and hope that you and my sister will eventually make up, because in my eyes, you two are so well-matched.

  But unfortunately, after my sister returned from Ha city last time, she suddenly decided to accept the proposal of a colleague in their company. Although my sister seemed very happy on the surface, I knew that what she actually cared about most was still you. But I also clearly realized that it's already impossible for you and my sister, as both of you have already started your new lives...

  I'm sorry to say that I felt a pang of sadness, but at the same time, I was secretly delighted because I could finally stop worrying about my sister. So on that day when I was online, I impulsively asked you if we could have an online romance, knowing how you feel about your current girlfriend, and not daring to hope that you'd like me back, just hoping to be with you in a virtual world. Unfortunately, you said you didn't receive the message I sent, maybe you really didn't get it, or maybe you were politely rejecting me... I've written this jumbled mess, hoping you can understand

  I've already finished the college entrance exam this year and I'm about to go to university, so I decided to make things clear with you before I step into the university gate. Maybe we'll meet again in the same campus in the future...

  Note: The encounter between Qin Keyi and Tong Chen will be detailed in the outer chapter of this book. In order to facilitate the development of the plot, I will try to use Qin Keyi as the first person narrator (only for one chapter, the rest will still use Kang Jian as the first person narrator), just an attempt, please forgive me if it's not convenient...
