Chapter 400: I missed you
The cool and refreshing night air embraced Jia Yuze, as he glanced outside the car window. He observed the world bathed in moonlight, as if nature itself was urging him forward. Finally, Qiao Qing’s house came into his view.
Jia Yuze’s heart pounded with anticipation as he considered the risks he was about to take. He knew it was unconventional, even audacious, but his love for Qiao Qing burned with an intensity that defied reason.
He parked his car at some distance and then walked towards the Qiao mansion. The journey was not far, but every step felt like an eternity as he anticipated their reunion. He was consumed by a mix of excitement and nervousness, his mind replaying their phone conversation, each word laced with affection and longing.
As he approached the familiar neighborhood, Jia Yuze noticed a dim light emanating from the upstairs window of Qiao Qing’s house. His heart skipped a beat, knowing that his love was likely still awake, just as restless as he was. Encouraged by the sight, he quickened his pace, his footsteps barely making a sound on the pavement.
Qiao Qing’s room was on the second floor, facing the street, its window adorned with delicate curtains that she often drew aside to let the morning sun in. Without hesitation, Jia Yuze located a sturdy tree near the house, its branches extending towards the window he sought. He glanced around one last time, making sure he hadn’t attracted any unwanted attention before beginning his climb. His hands gripped the rough bark as he ascended, muscles flexing with each agile movement.
Finally, Jia Yuze reached the desired height, his pulse racing with a mix of excitement and trepidation. He peered through the window, finding Qiao Qing’s room bathed in a soft, warm glow. The sight of her familiar surroundings filled him with a sense of comfort and familiarity.
Summoning his courage, Jia Yuze carefully pushed the window open, wincing slightly at the faint creak it produced. With a leap of faith, he gracefully entered Qiao Qing’s room, his heart racing with anticipation. As he landed softly on the floor, he took a moment to absorb his surroundings. The room was a reflection of Qiao Qing’s gentle and elegant nature.
Jia Yuze’s eyes darted towards the bed, and there, amidst a sea of soft pillows and blankets, lay Qiao Qing, her eyes wide with surprise and a mixture of emotions. She got up from her bed and rubbed her eyes. She could not believe that Jia Yuze was standing in front of her.
Unable to contain himself any longer, Jia Yuze crossed the room in a few swift strides, his arms outstretched to embrace the love of his life. As he enveloped her in his warm embrace, their hearts beat in unison, their love transcending words in the quiet intimacy of the moonlit room.
Qiao Qing’s heart was beating rapidly. She reached out and pressed her hand against Jia Yuze’s chest. She tried a few times and confirmed that it was him.
"It’s me." Jia Yuze laughed.
