Slightly surprised, Lin Che thought, Could he have discovered the fact that she had secretly liked him in the past?
"You… why did you suddenly ask this?"
Qin Qing said, "It's nothing . Because I feel that our relationship in the past should have been pretty intimate . We were together every day . But why did you never like me before?"
Lin Che looked at Qin Qing's young face . She recalled those intimate episodes . They had indeed had an intimate past as friends and as classmates but in the end, they did not end up together .
Because he got together with Lin Li .
"If you gave me a chance to go back in time, perhaps I would have confessed to you," Lin Che smiled and said .
But the unfortunate situation was that Lin Che had been too fragile and had felt too inferior at the time . From the beginning until the end, she had not dared to reveal what was weighing on her mind .
Qin Qing's eyes brightened immediately .
Lin Che broke out in laughter . "Look, I scared you there . I'm just joking with you . I feel that it's probably because it didn't feel right . Anyway, aren't things great as they are now? You got together with Lin Li and from classmates, we became relatives . "
However, Qin Qing immediately felt very disappointed . He looked at Lin Che . Could it really be that she had never liked him?
Qin Qing looked at Lin Che . She was playing with her hair and smiling softly with her eyes lowered . Her appearance made his heart suddenly move of its own accord .
Lin Che waved at him . "I'll be leaving first . I still have something to do . "
Qin Qing nodded his head at this . As he watched her leave, he thought about how she was going to Gu Jingze's side . In his heart, he actually felt some resentment .
However, he suddenly started to entertain an unexpected idea . He wanted to just steal Lin Che from Gu Jingze's side .

But how could he steal her from such a powerful man like Gu Jingze?
Qin Qing thought, Why did it just have to be Gu Jingze? If it was someone else, perhaps anyone, he could do it . But it just had to be Gu Jingze, who was better than everyone, whether it was wealth or power .
At this moment, Qin Qing saw something drop from above in front of him all of a sudden . It was currently falling straight down and the person under it was Lin Che . She was standing at the entrance and currently looking forward, not paying attention to anything else at all…
"Lin Che, move out of the way!"
Lin Che was still looking around but did not discover any trace of Gu Jingze . In the next moment, Qin Qing shouted at the top of his voice from behind her and attracted her attention immediately .
She turned her head back only to see Qin Qing's gigantic body rushing directly at her . Before Lin Che could even react, he had already crashed heavily into her and sent her to the ground .
Lin Che's mind instantly went blank . When her head cleared, Qin Qing had already fallen on top of her .
Shocked, Lin Che only noticed then that a huge piece of glass had fallen from above . Right now, it was completely smashed on the ground and also on Qin Qing's body .
She herself had only been protected from the numerous broken pieces because he had thrown her to the ground .
"Help… Save him… "
Lin Che had tossed all concerns aside . She quickly hugged Qin Qing who was on the ground and started yelling .
And on the other side .
Gu Jingze had been waiting at the entrance for a long time but he did not see her come .
He didn't know where this lass had run off to again .

He held up his phone and gave Lin Che a call, but he realized that Lin Che had actually just switched off her phone .
This troublesome lass . Could she have stirred up some trouble again?
Meanwhile…
In the hospital, Lin Che was racked with anxiety as she looked at Qin Qing get carried onto the bed . As he lay there on his stomach, the doctor removed the broken pieces of glass one by one from his body .
Fresh blood was smeared all over his back . It really frightened her to look at it .
Lin Che had heard her phone ringing earlier but before she had even grabbed it, she only felt Qin Qing tightly clasping her hands in his .
Left with no choice, Lin Che could only switch off her phone as she heard it continue to make noise .
As she looked at Qin Qing like this, her heart was already in utter chaos compared to earlier . She did not expect that Qin Qing would help her ward off a disaster like this . In her heart, she felt both guilty and sad . Why did he have to do this? It looked so painful .
Gu Jingze's car was parked outside the mall . Seeing that Gu Jingze was inside, a bodyguard walked over and said, "Earlier, Madam did not leave with the staff after finishing her event . She came to the entrance alone because she had to wait for Sir . From what we heard, Madam came out together with the Second Young Master of the Qin family . "
The Second Young Master of the Qin family…
Qin Qing?
The expression on his face turned solemn in an instant . The bodyguard hastily asked, "Sir, in that case, now… "
"We're going back . "
Gu Jingze pursed his lips and gestured for the car window to be wound up .
The car window slowly rolled up .

The driver said, "Sir, we have to take the road behind . The road in the front seems to have been cordoned off because something fell from the building above and injured someone . "
"Hn . "
No matter which road they took, he simply wanted to go home now .
At the hospital .
Lin Che was still thinking about Gu Jingze's earlier call . In a moment of anxiousness, she did not know how to explain the situation and so she did not pick up . She saw that Qin Qing seemed to have gotten much better . He was lying down on his stomach inside . He had already worn his clothes properly, taken his medicine, and was also hooked up to an intravenous unit . His condition had stabilized immensely . She finally held up her phone .
However, before she had even called, Qin Qing suddenly made a sound from inside . "Lin Che? Lin Che?"
Lin Che hastily put down her phone and walked over .
"Qin Qing, what happened? Are you hurting anywhere?"
Qin Qing suddenly grabbed Lin Che's hands .
Lin Che made little of this . When they were putting medicine on him earlier, it had been like this too . He had been holding on to her tightly . It was probably because he was injured; it was always good to have a familiar person by one's side .
Qin Qing looked at Lin Che . "Don't go . "
"Alright, alright . I won't go . Qin Qing, what's your house number? I should call them . Your condition now is probably not too good . Will there be a risk of infection? We're in City Hospital and it's not our best hospital either . Do you want to call your family and ask them how they want to deal with this?"
"No . I just want to be together with you . "
"… " Lin Che said stupidly, "But I'm right here . "
"No, Lin Che… I just want, I want to be alone with you . "
"… " Lin Che's heart froze . She looked at Qin Qing . "Qin Qing, you… "
Qin Qing clasped her hands tightly in his instead . "Lin Che, I suddenly had courage in that moment earlier . I felt like I could do anything for you . Is this abnormal or not?"
Lin Che immediately became alarmed . "What are you talking about… "
Qin Qing said, "I know that saying this now isn't good . But Lin Che, I suddenly feel slightly regretful . Perhaps I should have treated you a little better in the past . Then, you wouldn't… wouldn't be together with Gu Jingze . "
Lin Che was completely flustered and quickly let go of Qin Qing's hands .
Qin Qing grasped at air and looked at Lin Che . "You… "
Lin Che knew that she had secretly been in love with Qin Qing for a long, long time .
However, his sudden confession at this moment only made her extremely shocked . To her surprise, she no longer felt a sense of happiness .
Youth was just like a grand show of missed opportunities . When you truly came to a realization, it was too late to do anything .
And what was left now was only panic . There was no longer an ounce of pleasant surprise . "Qin Qing… you already have Lin Li . You're my sister's fiancé . You're my brother-in-law . "
Qin Qing's heart twitched . In a moment of bleakness, he looked at Lin Che . "I thought that you'd at least liked me before . Did you really never like me at all?"
Since she had already let the opportunity slip, it was probably better to simply not turn back again .
Lin Che shook her head . "Not at all . "
Qin Qing's face sank . When he thought of Gu Jingze, he understood in his heart that there was probably no way that he himself could compare to Gu Jingze .
