Sonata: Fleeing to Avoid an Arranged Marriage - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Xiao Go"s declaration had confused Ml Qing.
She frowned, tossing and turning In her mind as she pondered Xiao Gu"s words.
What d"d he mean he was the one who saved her back then, not Zhou Yiran? Is he referring to the rabbit-eared hero who helped her scare off the dog?
She froze for a whie and snickered at Xiao Gu: ‘You"re too Insincere for this nonsense, right? Didn"t you dislike the title of hero before, and now you"re rushing to Impersonate what It means?“

Xiao Gu tilted his head and grunted, "I"m Impersonating? Why don"t you say you"re blind?“
Ml Qing:"..."
"What the hel Is wrong with you!“ Angered by nastiness. Ml Qing gave him a shove on the chest, once again Implementing the guideline that the louder you are, the more imposing you will be, “Fine, you said you were the rabbit brother right? Then show me the rabbit ears back then."

"Who would keep something like that?" Xiao Gu was exasperated, "That was from my aunt In law, who forced me to put on, and I casually shoved It at someone when I left..."
He paused abruptly and stared at Mi Qing, "I see, I must have shoved that headband to Zhou Yiran back then, that"s why you thought it was him who saved you."
Mi Qing exhaled mockingly, thinking that this was rea»y the best Joke she had heard this year: "Oh, since you"re saying so. should I say yes? Then tell me where it was?"
Xiao Gu: "At Huo Li"s mom"s birthday party."
Mi Qing frowned, not knowing where he heard It from: "Then why did you show up at Aunt Huo"s birthday party?"

"I went with Gu Xln, they were Invited."
Mi Qing glanced at him suspiciously, “What does Gu Xln have to do with the Huo family? Why was he invited?"
"The Gu family is also an affluent family in C City." Xiao Gu paused again after that, seemingly reminded of another thing. He smiled at Mi Qing and opened his mouth, "Oh, you probably don"t know, before Gu Xin debuted, his name was Gu Yun, and Gu Xin was a name he changed himself later."
Mi Qing:"..."

She didn"t have much of an impression with Gu Xin, but the name Gu Yun was too loud to her. The Gu family names are very Interesting, all after gold and silver Jewelry. The siblings Gu Zhen and Gu Bao"s names are very recognizable, but when It comes to Gu Yun... Sony, there are realty not many children who recognize that name.
So most people started barking, Gu Jin, Gu Jun, Gu Tu.
It was only after Ml Qing went to elementary school that she learned the meanings of the words herself by looking up the dictionary.
The corners of her mouth twitched as si« deliberated for a moment, then she again confronted Xiao Gu, "fine, even if It proves that you were also at Aunt Huo"s birthday banquet at that time, it still doesn"t prove that what you said afterwards is true."

Xiao Gu"s thin Kps pursed slightly as she looked at her and frowned, "Why don"t you go ask Zhou Yiran?"
"Uh ..." Mi Qing said nothing. Although she kept silently watching Zhou Yiran for many years, she never mentioned that night to him.
It always felt that by asking about i, that Sttlc bit of herself about him would be exposed to the sun.
But the way things are going, she really couldn"t afford to be an ostrich anymore, and she wouldn"t be at ease if the matter wasn"t clarified.

Zhou Yiran should be downstairs, she moped and walked towards the door, “Fine, I"ll go ask now."
Xiao Gu thought about It and followed suit, “II go with you. In case he lies, I can still confront him face to face."
Mi Qing:"..."

Boss Xiao is worthy of being a businessman, Husky also rushed at this time, wanting to run to the battlefield with his master, but Xiao Gu shooed him towards the house: "Tiantian, just stay home."
"Woof!" The husky barked In exuberance.
"I"ll be back soon." Xiao Gu walked out after Mi Qing and closed the door with him, shutting Husky inside.

Zhou Yiran, who was waiting outside Nancheng Garden, frowned Hghtty when he saw Ml Qing and Xiao Gu walking out together. Notking the tangled look on Mi Qing"s expression, he went up and asked her, “Is something wrong?"
Mi Qing looked up alt him, but dldnl know how to go about asking.
It was she who had been treating him like Rabbit gege for so long, and now that someone came running and questioning whether he realty was that rabbit gege, even she hated hersetf a bit.

"What"s going on?" Seeing he» hesitate to speak, Zhou wan was even more certain that there must be some problem.
Xiao Gu took a step forward, seemingly intending to open his mouth. Ml Qing was startled and hurriedly stopped him, her own words flying, ’Do you remember the first time we met at Aunt Huo"s house marry years ago?"
Zhou Ykan vrds stunned for a moment, not expecting her to suddenly ask about it, but still quickly replied, "I remember, you were scared by a dog and cried tike a little kitten."

Mi Qing nodded happily, "That"s right, that"s right, and you helped me get rid of that dog."
Xiao Gu’s eyebrows twitched, annoyed at Ml Qlng’s guiding manner of speaking.
He stared at Zhou Yiran coMly, as though M he dared to admit It, ho would let go and bite him in an instant.
Zhou Yiran blinked and pondered for a while before looking at Ml Qing for verification, "Didn"t you say that the dog had been driven away when you ran over back then?"

Mi Qing said «xiK-what eagerly, "Before (hat, didn"t you find me and help me scare off the dog?“
After Brother Rabbit helped her run away, she didn"t even have time to say thank you before he disappeared. She got up from the ground and ran after his drection, and that"s when she saw Zhou Yiran.
“That"s you, right?" Mi Qing said again, more lice convincing herself.
Zhou Yiran frowned and fell silent.

Zhou Ykan frowned and fd site««.
"You were holding rabbit ears In your hands " said Ml Qing nonchalantly.
Zhou Yiran brooded over, seeming to recall such a thing. He looked at Xiao Gu who was standing aside and explained to Mi Qing, "Those rabbit ears were given to me by Xiao Gu, he must be Gu Xin"s cousin. He aiso went to Aunt Huo"s birthday party that day. He came in wearing a pair of rabbit ears, and we laughed at him a few times so he ran out angry. Auntie Gu was afraid he would get lost, so we chased after him. And I Mowed along. When I met him in the garden, he seemed still angered and shoved to me the rabbit ears and ran away."

Xiao Gu ran away and never returned. Later, It was the Gu family’s driver who found him and took him directly back to the Gu family.
Zhou Yiran"s statement broke Mi Qing"s last bit of fantasy. She fe" silent, and then asked, "It"s all been so marry years, could you have misremembered it?"
Xiao Go"s brow furrowed, but Zhou Yiran instead laughed, "Impossible, I"ve akways had a good memory. It"s afco because of the rabbit ears he was wearing back then that I was so impressed with him."
Yeah, just because he wore rabbit ears.......

The corners of Mi Qing's lips tightened into a line. She was only five years old at that time and it was dark around her. It was impossible for her to remember what Brother Rabbit looked  like when she was in shock. All she could remember was some color, and something very characteristic.
Such as his little black suit, and the rabbit ears on his head.
When she saw Zhou Ykan, he was holding the rabbit ears in his hand. First impression lasts. If Zhou Yiran was wearing a white suit, she wouldn't have mistaken him for Brother Rabbit, but he, too, was wearing a btock suit ...
All the Information matched up, so she never suspected he wasn’t.

Her palor alarmed Zhou Ykan, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeing unwell?"
He tried to go up and hold Mi Qing, but Mi Qing took a step back and avoided his hand, "I'm fine..." She paused for a moment and looked at him apologetically again, "I'm a little uncomfortable today, can we go out some other time?"
Zhou Yiran nodded and didn't pursue the question, "You look bad, go back and rest, don't think too much."
Although he didn't know exactly what's going on, there must be a reason why she suddenly asked about her childhood.

Mi Qing apologized once more, turned around and walked back by herself. Xiao Gu remained whore he was, he walked up to Zhou Yiran and smiled at him, “Thank you very much for your honesty, goodbye."
Zhou Yiran:"..."
He frowned, always feeing as if he had accidentally stepped in some trap.
After Xiao Gu left, he also drove away.

Mi Qing hadn't snapped back from this huge shock, and her whole person was disoriented. Xiao Gu, who walked up to her side, wrinkled his brow sullenly, “What's the matte», the hero who saved you was me, have I let you down?"
Mi Qing glanced at him sideways, and turned her head back silently.
He took her silence as acquiescence, so the air pressure dropped a little lower.
When they quickly reached the entrance of the stairs. Mi Qing said as if ta&lng to he«self, ’If It's you who saved me, then what's the point of afl these years of love?"
She had thought of Zhou Yiran as a rabbit gege for so many years that this emotional investment coukl have built a high-rise building.

Xiao Go was silent for a moment after and then let out a snort, "I ttunk it's mo who lost big."
Mi Qing glared at him. and retorted with a huff: "How did you lose big?"
Xiao Gu replied: “You treated someone as me for so many years, haven't I missed much?"
Mi Qing blanched inexpfceabty. She twisted her head back and cokty said, "I said something about Rabbit gege when I first moved In, you yourself didn't remember It was you."
Xiao Gu countered: “Based on your mere words back then, woukl I have deduced such a twisted and bizarre story, do you think I am Sherlock Holmes?"
Ml Qing: "..."

The two walked all the way home, and when Husky saw them return, he ran over. Ml Qing teased him for a while and then went back to her room out of sorts. Her own hero, who she had worshipped for so many years was suddenly replaced, the shock was too overwhelming.
The thought of a wonderful Christmas being ruined just like that added another layer of regret to her heart.
Two knocks came at the door. Ml Qing looked towards the door, and reluctantly climbed up to open it.
Xiao Gu stood outside with a bag in his hand.

Mi Qing looked down, “What is It?"
Xiao Gu handed her the item in his hand, "Christmas present."
Mi Qing received it suspklously, looked inside, and froze.
Isn't this,.. Isn't this the pink coat she's sold earlier?
