Qiao Yaozu was a little confused.

He said, "But you are the president, if you go far away, what about North?"

Qiao Shaoting smiled.

There was a bit of loneliness in his smile.

He said, "North has someone to take my place. Don't worry, big brother. I just want to do something I especially want to do. That's why I'm leaving North. Don't worry about me."

Qiao Yaozu was still confused by what he said.

But he didn't think much about it.

Since Qiao Shaoting said that he would not die, he could rest at ease.

......

Later on, Qiao Shaoting went to have dinner.

Qin Xiaorou accompanied Qiao Shaoting to eat dinner.

These days, Qin Xiaorou waited for Qiao Shaoting to come back every night to have dinner together.

Qiao Shaoting didn't ask Qin Xiaorou to eat first.

He knew his days were numbered.

In the last days, it was better for them to eat together.

After eating dinner, Qiao Shaoting said, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

If Qin Xiaorou had heard that Qiao Shaoting wanted to go for a walk with her, she would have been overjoyed.

But this time, she didn't.

Qiao Shaoting's abnormality made her feel more and more sure that Bai Hongzhang's guess was not wrong, and her previous guess was not wrong, either.

Qiao Shaoting had prepared, after Qin Yu's death, to die with her.

When Qin Xiaorou thought of this, her heart ached, but she still braced herself and stood up, "Okay, Mr. Qiao, let's take a walk together."

......

At night, the garden was beautiful.

It was the season of flowers blooming. Under the shroud of the lights, the flowers were beautiful and a burst of flower fragrance could be smelled from time to time.

The handsome Qiao Shaoting and the beautiful Qin Xiaorou walking in the garden should be a beautiful scene.

But inexplicably, it wasn't beautiful at all.

Both of them were heavy-hearted.

"I will accompany you for a walk every night from now on." Qiao Shaoting said in a low voice, "I remember you said that you like flowers."

Qin Xiaorou was stunned.

She had said it, but she didn't expect Qiao Shaoting to remember it.

But soon, a faint sadness surfaced in her heart.

She casually said a sentence, but Qiao Shaoting remembered, not because he had her in mind, but out of guilt for her.

Because of the guilt, he remembered what she said.

Because of the guilt, he was willing to accompany her for a walk.

But she didn't need Qiao Shaoting's guilt.

She just wanted Qiao Shaoting to live well.

"If there's anywhere else you want to go, I'll go with you if I have time." Qiao Shaoting said again.

A sourness filled her heart.

Qin Xiaorou shook her head.

She said in a low voice, "Mr. Qiao, I don't have any place I want to go. I just want you to live well."

Qiao Shaoting's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Don't think too much."

Qin Xiaorou paused.

She said, "Mr. Qiao, Chief Bai called Old Mrs. Qiao. His thoughts are the same as mine. Old Mrs. Qiao asked me to talk to you properly."

Qiao Shaoting stopped in his tracks.

The frown, wrinkled deeper, but in a short time, loosened.

"You guys are thinking too much. I won't die for love." Qiao Shaoting said, "I am not such a weak person."

"I think so, too." Qin Xiaorou's attitude was rarely strong, "Mr. Qiao, you're absolutely not a weak person, yet the fact is that you've paved all the way. Why on earth did you do this?"
