After dinner, Huo Qiran proposed to send Jingli back.

But Jing Li shook her head and said, "No need to send me off. I live nearby. I'll be there in a few minutes' walk."

After hearing this, Huo Qiran asked again: "Which hotel are you staying in?"

Jing Li quickly reported the name of the hotel, which was indeed nearby.

"Then let me walk back with you." Huo Qiran said, "It's late at night. It's not safe for a girl to walk at night."

Hearing this, Jing Li chuckled and said, "The neighborhood is so prosperous and the roads are all major roads. How can it be unsafe? Don't worry about me. You are still sick. Go back and rest early."

"It doesn't matter." Huo Qiran had already stood up and said, "Staying in the laboratory every day is quite boring. It's a rare opportunity to walk on the street, so just treat it like me."

After Jing Li heard this, she couldn't say anything anymore and could only smile.

This is what he is like. He obviously wants to do good to others, but he still wants to blame himself for the incident so as not to burden others.

The two of them walked out of the restaurant together, and the summer heat wave immediately hit their faces. Jing Li couldn't help but look back at Huo Qiran, and saw that he didn't show any discomfort, so she was slightly relieved.

The two people walked slowly side by side. The city was bustling with traffic and pedestrians were walking in a hurry. As they walked through it, they seemed to be people outside this world. They were each immersed in their own world, not knowing what they were thinking.

After walking out for a while, Huo Qiran spoke again: "You said Stewart is a writer, what works does he have?"

Jing Li immediately reported several names, and finally added one more: ""Moonlight"."

"Moonlight? Stewart?" Huo Qiran paused suddenly, and after recalling it carefully, he affirmed, "I have read this book. It was published two years ago, right?"

"Yeah." Jing Li responded, turning to look at him, "Are you reading the original version or the translated version?"

"Translated version." Huo Qiran said, "I happened to see it in a bookstore and picked it up. I didn't bother to find the original version. But the translated version is quite good, and the translation is very charming."

After Jing Li heard this, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Huo Qiran paused and turned to look at her.

Jing Li's eyes were clear and she blinked at him, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Did you translate it?" Huo Qiran recalled carefully again, "But I don't seem to see your name -"

"Who doesn't want to have a pen name?" Jing Li said, "So why do you think Stewart asked me to accompany him here? In fact, it is because I can accompany him to create and at the same time complete the translation work better."

Huo Qiran couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "So, how many wonderful works have I missed?"

"Not many, just a few books." Jing Li said, "After all, I still have to go to school at that time."

Huo Qiran nodded, looking at her bright eyes, he couldn't help but said: "It's really amazing."

When she talked about the job of translation, she seemed to have finally opened up the conversation she had been holding back, and her expression became clear. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the time when the two of them got along a few years ago.

Huo Qiran listened to her and occasionally asked questions. The two of them reintegrated into the night of the city, chatting and laughing all the way to the entrance of the hotel.

Jing Li stopped and said, "I'm here."

"Yeah." Huo Qiran nodded, glanced into the lobby, and then asked, "Is there anything you can do if you go back tonight?"

Jing Li said: "Then it depends on whether my boss has arranged a job for me."

"Maybe your boss is still racking his brains to recruit people right now." Huo Qiran said, "Maybe you can take a good rest."

When Jing Li realized what he meant by "wanting to recruit", she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I didn't expect that the whole family would be so open-minded about Stewart's pursuit of Mu Qian. It seemed that she was overly worried at first.

She waved her hand and was about to say goodbye to Huo Qiran when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Jing!"

Before Jing Li could react, Huo Qiran saw a young man with blond hair and blue eyes rushing forward from behind and hugging the person in front of him!

Huo Qiran frowned subconsciously, and his expression darkened uncontrollably.

"Brayden?" Jing Li was also a little confused and pushed the man who held her tightly in his arms, "Why are you here?"

The man named Brayden in front of him was obviously very excited. He hugged Jing Li tightly without letting go at all, and replied: "I missed you so much, so I came to see you."

"Brayden, let go first, I have friends here." Jing Li quickly pushed him again.

Brayden reluctantly let go of her, turned to look at Huo Qiran who was standing in front of Jing Li, and asked Jing Li: "Your friend?"

"Yes." Jing Li breathed out slowly and introduced the two of them, "This is my former classmate Huo Qiran. This is Brayden, Stewart's son and also my good friend."

After saying that, she couldn't help but look at Huo Qiran again, and felt that the expression on his face was a little strange.

After all, where was his consistent temperament? Huo Qiran's face could not be any worse, but he still stretched out his hand and shook Brayden's hand, "Hello."

The two of them greeted each other, and Brayden's attention quickly returned to Jingli, "Are you happy to see me? I didn't call you on purpose because I wanted to give you a surprise! This city is so beautiful. It's the place you've lived in since you were a kid.

Is this a great place? I’m already falling in love with this city just a short walk from the airport, it’s so great!”

Jing Li raised her hand to interrupt his barrage and said to him, "Wait a moment," and then looked at Huo Qiran, "Then you go back first. I'll deal with this curious baby who has just arrived...

When you go back, remember to take your medicine and go to bed early."

Huo Qiran originally wanted to send her back to the hotel, but now there seemed to be no reason to stay any longer. He just nodded slightly, but his eyes couldn't help but linger on Brayden's hand that was still holding Jing Li tightly for a long time.

In the end, Huo Qiran couldn't hold it back and blurted out: "Boyfriend?"

Jing Li paused and didn't answer, but Brayden over there clearly understood the meaning of this Chinese sentence. His eyes lit up with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, boyfriend, I am her boyfriend. I

Love her, I love her very much, I love everything about her, I will love her forever——"
