Chapter 230 A Warm Hug
Chapter 230 A Warm Hug
Upon learning that Leng Feng's number had been cancelled, Qi Yuxuan's feelings became extremely complicated.
He knew that Leng Feng was a trustworthy friend, and losing contact with him left him feeling somewhat lost.
Therefore, Qi Yuxuan decided to find Leng Feng through other means.
His first thought was of policewoman Wen Qingrou, and he asked her to help contact the mobile company to find out which city Leng Feng's previous number came from.
Policewoman Wen Qingrou is Qi Yuxuan's suitor, but she is different from Hao Meigui.
Wen Qingrou prefers to pursue things openly and honestly, while Hao Meigui prefers to obtain them through unconventional means.
When Wen Qingrou received Qi Yuxuan's call for help, she immediately contacted the local mobile company. With the approval of the police, the mobile company quickly located and disclosed Leng Feng's information.
Qi Yuxuan finally learned that Leng Feng was in Z City.
If Leng Feng is in Z City, then Qiu Ziyue is also in Z City.
Through cross-city inquiries by the public security authorities, Qiu Ziyue's address was quickly found.
Meanwhile, the mobile company also found Leng Fengxin's new mobile phone number. Qi Yuxuan entered Leng Fengxin's new number into his mobile phone contacts, but did not call again.
He knew that Leng Feng must have been disappointed in him to have changed his SIM card. Even if he called again, it wouldn't get any results, and might even lead Leng Feng to change his number again.
Actions speak louder than words, so he instructed his assistant Zhuang to immediately book a plane ticket to Z City to find Qiu Ziyue.
The flight from City A to City Z takes 8 hours and 30 minutes, and Qi Yuxuan is very excited.
He asked policewoman Wen Qingrou and maid Liu Ma to help take care of Minglan, and also entrusted Director An to manage filming and other matters. Then he and Assistant Zhuang took a plane to Z City.
Z City is a small city, not very big, so if Qi Yuxuan arrives by plane, he will still need to take the subway or a car for several hours to get there.
But when Qi Yuxuan boarded the plane, his fox-like eyes, his thick, dark eyebrows, his tall and upright figure, his impeccably tailored suit, and his assistant Xiao Zhuang following behind.
Despite wearing a mask, he still attracted many fans.
So people on the plane asked him for autographs.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ziyue and Leng Feng were taking meticulous care of Jingyun at the hospital.
After several days of treatment, Jingyun gradually improved.
However, Qiu Ziyue encountered trouble during her schooling.
She noticed that her former classmates gave her strange looks, and when she passed by, some classmates would whisper behind her, but she didn't know what they were whispering about.
In the classroom, Qiu Ziyue and her deskmate Zhou Yu were doing their exercises during break, but they could still hear some female classmates whispering and saying things like "shameless".
Class monitor Ren Pengju stood up and said, "Classmates, after class, either go to the playground to play or quietly do your homework. Don't gossip about others."
Instantly, the students fell silent.
Qiu Ziyue still felt uneasy. Suddenly, he put down his pen, sighed softly, and tentatively asked his deskmate:
"Zhou Yu, have you heard any rumors about me lately?"
Zhou Yu raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to voice her doubts.
She lowered her voice and said with some unease:
"For the sake of being desk mates, I'll tell you. Actually... I did hear some rumors."
Qiu Ziyue's heart tightened suddenly. She tried her best to remain calm and continued to press for answers:
"What is it?"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage:
“I heard from others that... you're so young, yet you already have a child. They all say you're not proper, and that you had a child with some random man.”
Qiu Ziyue's face turned pale instantly, and she felt an overwhelming surge of anger and grievance.
He retorted angrily, "Who said that?"
Qiu Ziyue's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"This is completely fabricated! How can you believe these rumors?"
Seeing Qiu Ziyue's excited state, Zhou Yu felt extremely guilty.
She said softly:
"Sorry, some people just like to spread these kinds of rumors. Just ignore them."
Qiu Ziyue's eyes reddened with grievance, and she fought back her tears, her voice trembling with a sob:
"You know that's good. How could I do such a thing? I'm only 17 years old, how could I have a child? These are all malicious slanders."
Zhou Yu held Qiu Ziyue's hand, trying to comfort her: "I believe you, really."
"Can you tell me who spread these rumors?" Qiu Ziyue asked.
"Oh dear, deskmate, please, don't cause me any more trouble. I don't know either," Zhou Yu said, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
As soon as the school bell rang, Qiu Ziyue didn't wait for Leng Feng to pick her up as usual. Instead, she packed her schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom.
Her heart was filled with grievance and anger; those malicious rumors were like sharp thorns, piercing her and making it hard for her to breathe.
She didn't know why such absurd rumors existed, and she couldn't stand the strange looks from her classmates.
After running out of the school, Qiu Ziyue headed straight for the nearby park.
This usually quiet and beautiful place has now become the only corner where she can vent her emotions.
She found a bench and sat down, unable to hold back her grievances any longer, tears welling up in her eyes.
Qiu Ziyue hugged herself tightly, as if only in this way could she find some comfort.
Under a tree not far away, a boy dressed in denim quietly watched all of this.
Leng Feng, who has become a basketball star at school, has a cool appearance, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, a 3/7 parted hairstyle, and a strand of hair covering his eyes in front of his forehead, but he looks very cool.
However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with heartache and worry. He hadn't been able to pick up Qiu Ziyue from school.
He asked Zhou Yu what had happened, and Zhou Yu told him that people had been gossiping about Qiu Ziyue these past few days, and Qiu Ziyue was probably upset.
Leng Feng sat in the car and thought for a while, and finally thought of this park.
Seeing Qiu Ziyue so heartbroken, he stood there and silently watched her cry for a while.
He knew that at this time, the most important thing was to give her some time and space to vent.
He understands Qiu Ziyue.
In ancient times, Qiu Ziyue could ignore gossip without any distractions. Back then, she had no children or family and didn't have to bear too much burden.
However, the modern Qiu Ziyue has children and family, and moreover, she is in her sensitive and vulnerable adolescence at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Having a child out of wedlock must have been incredibly difficult for Qiu Ziyue, who has such a strong sense of self-respect. Besides, she didn't know who had told her that, and she had no way to vent her frustrations by finding someone to fight with.
He watched Qiu Ziyue from afar, and Qiu Ziyue's sadness and sorrow were all in his heart.
When Qiu Ziyue finally cried herself to sleep and raised her head, Leng Feng quietly walked over.
"Are you... are you alright?"
Leng Feng's voice was gentle and concerned. He took a clean tissue out of his pocket and handed it to Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue looked up and saw the familiar figure in front of her, and was momentarily surprised.
She hadn't expected to run into Leng Feng at this moment, but she couldn't care less about anything else. Taking the tissue, she wiped her tears and whispered:
"I'm fine, thank you."
Leng Feng sat down next to Qiu Ziyue and gently patted her shoulder:
"If you have any worries, you can talk to me about them. Sometimes it makes you feel better to talk about it."
Looking into Leng Feng's sincere eyes, Qiu Ziyue's defenses gradually crumbled.
She knew Leng Feng was a trustworthy person, so she began to tell him about her experiences.
Leng Feng listened patiently, nodding occasionally to show his understanding.
He didn't interrupt Qiu Ziyue, but simply stayed quietly by her side.
As Qiu Ziyue's emotions gradually calmed down, she suddenly realized that she had been confiding in Leng Feng all along, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She looked up at Leng Feng and found that his gaze was still full of concern and tenderness.
"Thank you."
Qiu Ziyue said softly, then reached out and put her arm around Leng Feng.
Leng Feng was slightly taken aback, but quickly came to his senses and gently hugged Qiu Ziyue.
She nestled in his arms, feeling a rare warmth and sense of security.
At this moment, all the grievances and pain seemed to be released, and the gloom in my heart gradually dissipated.
Leng Feng, a new hope, gently patted Qiu Ziyue's back and softly comforted her:
"Don't worry, everything will be alright. I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you."
Qiu Ziyue closed her eyes, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
However, at that moment, someone hid behind a tree and secretly took a picture of Qiu Ziyue snuggling into Leng Feng's arms and hugging his waist, then hurriedly ran away.
With his ancient insight, Leng Feng sensed something amiss, and his heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Qiu Ziyue was heartbroken and unaware of anything.
So he gently said to Qiu Ziyue, "Ziyue, sit for a while longer and relax. I'm going to the restroom and I'll come back to pick you up."
Qiu Ziyue nodded, and Leng Feng left.
However, Leng Feng did not go to the restroom, but instead rushed towards the person taking the photos.
