Chapter 505 - Can’t Calm Down Chapter 505: Can’t Calm Down
Qiao Yanjue heaved a sigh of relief when Xia Xibei picked up the call.
“You were filming for the show?”
“Yeah,” Xia Xibei answered in a low voice, able to feel her heart pounding wildly again.
“Did it go well?”
“Yes, it went very well.”
“Great, then.”
A moment of awkward silence later, Qiao Yanjue asked, “Do you have anything to tell me?”
Xia Xibei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, “No… Nothing.”
What could she possibly have to say?
She hadn’t even recovered herself completely!
If she hadn’t been busy the whole day, she would have been caught up in all sorts of wild, absurd thoughts.
Her mood started changing again after talking to Qiao Yanjue on the phone.
If Qiao Yanjue knew what she was thinking, he would start staying away from her, wouldn’t he?!
The two of them were way too different to be together.
Xia Xibei had always recognized herself as a decisive person.
She would contemplate everything that she encountered in life in great depth.
If something seemed likely and the consequences were bearable, she wouldn’t hesitate to go for it.
If it didn’t seem quite likely and the consequences were beyond what she was willing to endure, she would give up on it without much thought.
That was the situation she was faced with at the moment.
Since Qiao Yanjue and her didn’t stand a chance, she would make up her mind very fast and keep her distance from him.
This was just the beginning, so she had the confidence to withdraw herself in time.
Having said that, she still was reluctant to put the phone down. She asked, “What about you? Did anything special happen to you today?”
“Nope,” Qiao Yanjue shook his head, omitting the part where Li Weiyun asked to meet up with him.
Li Weiyun wanted to meet him when he came back last night, but he turned her down.
He didn’t find the need to bring up such a matter that would spoil their mood.
“Great then,” Xia Xibei mumbled quietly.
“Yeah.” Qiao Yanjue couldn’t find words to say either.
After yet another moment of silence, Qiao Yanjue couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Are you mad at me about last night?” he asked.
“No!” Xia Xibei blurted out.
“Why aren’t you talking much then, if you aren’t mad?”
Qiao Yanjue was full of remorse too.
He could tell that Xia Xibei sounded estranged from him. He must have frightened her last night.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bolted without saying anything besides leaving a message for him.
The saying was right, impulse was indeed the devil!
“No, I’m not mad, don’t overthink it.” Xia Xibei panicked a little. “I… I’m just… It’s just that I ran into some… Trouble.”
“What trouble? I can help you,” Qiao Yanjue volunteered immediately.
“No, it’s not something you can help me with,” Xia Xibei told him frankly.
A brief moment of silence later, Qiao Yanjue said, “Okay then, don’t forget to ask me if there’s anything I can help you with.”
“Sure,” Xia Xibei nodded. “A call is coming in, I gotta hang up.”
“Alright.”
When the call ended, Qiao Yanjue stared at the dark screen of his phone, a thousand emotions raging in his eyes.
Dejected, he eventually collapsed into the couch.
He could tell that Xia Xibei was keeping something from him, but he didn’t have the courage to ask because she didn’t sound like she wanted to tell him.
He didn’t want to scare her off by being too possessive.
It was just that the restlessness within was starting to make him lose his composure.
The calmness that he had been trying so hard to maintain had completely fallen apart now.
At this moment, he was actually glad that Xia Xibei wasn’t in the same room with him.
Otherwise, he really couldn’t promise that he would be able to keep his cool.
Meanwhile, Xia Xibei got a call from Liu Manhong after hanging up on Qiao Yanjue.
Liu Manhong told her about Jiang Qirui on the phone.
Owing to Xia Xibei’s special identity, Jiang Shenghe and his wife had been keeping in touch with her through Liu Manhong all this time.
Jiang Qirui had been taking the medicine for a week now, and his condition had improved a great deal.
They would be coming over again in two days.
Xia Xibei nodded, making a mental note of it.
