Chapter 108 News about Huo Shiyan
Master Wuzhi nodded slightly, his eyes full of kindness and memories: "Of course, this amulet was given to you by me at that time. I remember that you came here specifically to ask for it for your lover."
Qiao Qin's heart trembled slightly, but she still asked persistently: "Are you sure... this is the same one?"
The master smiled and nodded gently: "Yes, I still remember every stitch and pattern of this talisman. It embodies your thoughts and blessings, and it is a one-of-a-kind existence."
Although Qiao Qin had expected this, she still couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart when she received the master's affirmation.
why?
Why did the amulet she gave to Huo Shiyan end up in Huo Yan's hands?
Qiao Qin's thoughts were like tangled threads, entangled in her heart, but she never dared to touch upon that bold guess - are Huo Yan and Huo Shiyan really the same person?
She stood there, like a stone statue forgotten by time, her eyes were empty but her heart was surging.
At this moment, the master's voice sounded again, as if floating from another world, with a sense of detachment and helplessness.
"Donor, I have something to give you." The voice was distant and deep, like the sound of a clear spring in a mountain stream.
Qiao Qin raised his head suddenly, but saw only an empty space. The master's figure had dissipated like smoke, and only his words echoed in the air.
"Some things are better left unsaid." These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.
Qiao Qin chewed over this sentence again and again, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
......
The night gradually spread like thick ink, quietly swallowing up the world.
Qiao Qin's heart was also shrouded in the dark night, and she felt more helpless than ever before.
She didn't know how to face Huo Yan, so she stayed outside for a long time before going back. But as soon as she entered the door, a familiar shadow fell in front of her eyes.
Qiao Qin pushed the door open and walked in. The light from inside the door shone on her face, revealing her tired yet stubborn expression. Huo Yan's figure gradually became clear in front of her eyes. He frowned, with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Where have you been? Why are you back so late?" A deep and pleasant voice sounded.
Qiao Qin raised her head slightly and met his gaze. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I went to Nanshan Temple today. I'm a little tired. I want to rest first."
She didn't want to say more and turned to leave, but Huo Yan stretched out his arm and blocked her way.
Qiao Qin's heart trembled slightly, she gently pushed his hand away, turned around and walked into the room.
The door slowly closed behind her, isolating Huo Yan's sight and her figure outside the door.
The moonlight fell like a clear spring, soft and bright, quietly pouring its silver glow into Qiao Qin's room.
Qiao Qin lay on the soft bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Every word of the master was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in her heart.
Is it rare to be confused?
Could she really pretend she knew nothing?
Holding the amulet tightly in her hand, Qiao Qin's fingertips turned slightly white due to the force, and the yellow amulet seemed to become distorted. In the end, she silently made up her mind.
The sky gradually turned pale, and a new day arrived quietly.
Qiao Qin got up early without disturbing anyone. She only told Aunt Song, "Take good care of the baby." Then she went out without saying anything. She booked a ticket for the earliest flight to Country A.
She still remembered the letter Huo Shiyan had sent her some time ago, in which he said that he had planned to settle in Country A and would continue his studies at Stafford University.
Qiao Qin believed it.
She planned to go to Stanford University in person. If she happened to meet Huo Shiyan, it would just offset the doubts in her heart.
Qiao Qin would pretend that nothing had happened, and the life of the family of three would return to the ordinary and happy life as before.
if......
Her eyes sank slightly, and she didn't dare to think about it any further, fearing that it would be a consequence that she could not bear.
Unknowingly.
The plane landed steadily on the runway. She raised her hand without hesitation, hailed a taxi, and drove straight to Stanford University.
As the car door opened, a breath of youth blew in her face. In front of her was a surging crowd, every face was filled with energy and vigor, like a ray of sunshine, quietly dispelling the haze in her heart.
However, no matter how beautiful the scene before her was, she knew that some things were ultimately unavoidable.
Qiao Qin took a deep breath, trying to calm her heart. She randomly picked a student passing by and asked with a smile, "What's the direction of the School of Economics and Management?"
Coincidentally, this student happened to be a student of the School of Economics and Management. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He responded to Qiao Qin's questions in fluent foreign language, with a hint of pride for his alma mater in his voice.
A bright light flashed in Qiao Qin's eyes. She took a step forward eagerly, her voice trembling slightly: "Classmate, may I ask... do you know Huo Shiyan?"
She was afraid that the other party didn't understand the meaning of this Chinese name, so she quickly took out her mobile phone from her bag, gently swiped the screen, and pulled up Huo Shiyan's photo.
On the screen, that face was like a meticulously crafted masterpiece, every contour seemed to be from the hands of a master, and those deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. The 360-degree beauty without blind spots made people unable to look away.
However, the student just glanced at him calmly and shook his head with a hint of apology on his face: "I'm sorry, I have never seen this classmate in school."
Qiao Qin's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible force and slowly sank.
She didn't want to believe it, but she had to face the fact. She couldn't help but confirm again: "You really... haven't seen him?"
"Yes, I'm sure of it." The student answered firmly and clearly. He paused and added, "But this face is indeed very outstanding. If there really is such a person, I think I should remember him."
Qiao Qin stood there in a daze. His words were like the last fallen leaf in the autumn wind, ruthlessly shattering all her hopes.
Huo Shiyan had never been to Stanford University, or rather, he was not in Country A at all, and the contents of the letter were all false.
So where did he go?
