I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 88 Your Heart and My Heart Linked Together
Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Your Heart and My Heart Linked Together
Qiao Qingyu thought to herself, if Su Yunyao knew about this, that woman would surely be green with envy.
Why bother, really!
You say you’ve been reborn, able to know so much about the next twenty years, you are practically a seer, it’s an exaggeration to call you a god, but you’re nearly half a god, why not take advantage of this and focus on your scientific research and career?
Focusing on her is truly masochistic.
So Qiao Qingyu followed He Xiuyu to the west room, where the lights were on. He Xiuyu opened a bookcase on the wall, revealing a drawer filled with many letters. He Xiuyu leisurely said to her, "These letters are correspondence between my teachers, classmates, and some elders."
Qiao Qingyu didn’t care much one way or the other.
But no matter how you looked at it, these letters were mixed together, proving that it wasn’t as Su Yunyao had said.
So Qiao Qingyu cheerfully said, "Su Yunyao also mentioned that if she hadn’t left Huaxia, the spouse on your household registration would be Anna by now."
He Xiuyu’s brows furrowed slightly, but he didn’t have much of a reaction, only letting out an almost inaudible laugh.
Qiao Qingyu glanced at him, she could take that as a mock, right? Was he mocking Su Yunyao’s words?
"Whether the spouse on my household registration is you, Qiao Qingyu, has nothing to do with whether Anna is in Huaxia or not."
While He Xiuyu was saying this, he had already taken out two letters, opened them, and showed the letter inside to Qiao Qingyu.
Qiao Qingyu didn’t have a good command of the language of country S, but she understood a little.
But she had to pretend she didn’t understand; otherwise, she really couldn’t explain herself to He Xiuyu.
One letter was from ten years ago, in which He Xiuyu had asked for help with grammar.
The other was from last year.
It had been sent from overseas.
He Xiuyu sometimes could be so meticulous it was almost adorable.
He really did as he said, had just finished translating that letter and then, with all seriousness, began translating the letter Anna had sent him from overseas; it was clear from the letter that He Xiuyu had never replied to her.
The whole letter was really nothing special, just routine greetings, but the letter paper itself seemed to tell a story.
Pale pink letter paper.
Who knew if it was what she thought it was.
Of course, He Xiuyu’s translation was flawless, without misinterpretation or confusion, exactly as it was, with not a single character out of place, and his pronunciation of the S country’s language was so precise.
Who knows if he learned it from that Anna?
But since he allowed her to look and explained it to her, Qiao Qingyu really didn’t want to turn a blind eye. So Qiao Qingyu reached for the letter, He Xiuyu was a bit surprised but handed it over to her anyway. The two of them were standing, right in front of the bookcase, and He Xiuyu had been translating it word by word, both standing very close together.
So when Qiao Qingyu turned around, she accidentally bumped into He Xiuyu’s arm.
He Xiuyu’s ears reddened instantly.
His body became a bit stiff in that moment.
He could be one hundred percent sure that Qiao Qingyu didn’t do it intentionally, but such a touch was indeed a first for him.
The anatomy of men and women is truly different.
He Xiuyu found himself momentarily distracted.
Qiao Qingyu wasn’t a careless person; sometimes she was very attentive, but this time she really didn’t notice because she was holding a piece of paper up to the light.
Sure enough, there it was, "your heart and my heart linked together..."
Qiao Qingyu waved the letter paper with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile and looked up at He Xiuyu who seemed to be in a daze, "You didn’t pay attention to the letter paper, did you? So, you didn’t realize what Anna wanted to express to you?"
He Xiuyu’s attention was finally drawn, and he too was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he hadn’t anticipated that a piece of letter paper could involve so much nuance. He wasn’t a fool; of course, he could see the series of pink heart-shaped patterns, and he had a rough guess of their meaning, which caused the red at his ears to spread to his face.
How should he put it? He had intended to explain things clearly to Qiao Qingyu to prove his integrity.
Now that the letter came with so many little hearts, could he ever wash himself clean, even if he jumped into the Yellow River?
"Did you reply to her letter?"
He Xiuyu hurriedly shook his head, "No, sending letters to and from S Country is too troublesome, and I don’t have the time, besides, it’s really unnecessary."
"So, have you roughly figured out Anna’s feelings for you?"
Qiao Qingyu asked with a tone full of teasing.
He Xiuyu slowly straightened his back and leisurely took the letter paper from Qiao Qingyu’s hand, folded it neatly into the envelope, and casually placed it in the drawer.
His focused gaze fell on Qiao Qingyu’s face; even though they were close enough to hear each other’s breath, they seemed unreachably far apart.
"Qiao Qingyu, your seemingly nonchalant attitude doesn’t show magnanimity; it just proves that you no longer take these things to heart."
Qiao Qingyu was taken aback. That sounded a bit unusual, didn’t it?
"Is it bad not to take it to heart? If I did take it to heart, after Su Yunyao left, I would smash this door open with an axe and rummage through your room, whether it’s useful or not, I would definitely find evidence of your infidelity..."
"Stop, that’s enough, Comrade Qiao Qingyu, your choice of words is extremely inaccurate!"
He Xiuyu’s expression suddenly became serious, with a hint of chill.
"You saw the signature on the envelope just now. That was before I met you. Not to say that I have nothing to do with Anna, even if there was a relationship, it couldn’t be described as infidelity because the definition of infidelity is when a married man or woman breaks the loyalty obligation in their spouse relationship by having..."
He Xiuyu stopped himself abruptly, although it was a very normal physiological term, but at that moment, under such dim lighting, facing Qiao Qingyu, he still held it back.
"The rest you surely understand broadly, so your word choice is not accurate."
Qiao Qingyu looked at He Xiuyu with a mix of laughter and embarrassment, feeling slightly ashamed because she had indeed blurted those words out.
"I was just speaking off the cuff, I know you are a gentleman of impeccable character and noble integrity."
He Xiuyu’s serious expression receded like the tide, and his peach blossom eyes instantly filled with a layer of tender amusement.
He liked hearing Qiao Qingyu’s assessment.
And every word sounded so pleasing.
That’s the kind of person he was.
Others saying it didn’t really move him, but Qiao Qingyu’s words seemed to make his heart flutter slightly.
He Xiuyu pressed down that little flutter, took a deep breath, "So, Comrade Qiao Qingyu, sometimes you should think before you speak."
"Ah, I get it, I was just making a metaphor. You said I wasn’t taking it seriously, but if taking it seriously means crying, making a fuss, and throwing a tantrum, that would be quite unpleasant, right?"
