Tian Yi was naturally overjoyed that Xu Tingyu was willing to give advice to her daughter.
She immediately pushed her daughter's account to Xu Tingyu and said, "Thank you, Madam, in advance."
Xu Tingyu didn't say anything else.
When she got back to the hotel, the first firework outside the window just exploded as her friend request from Tian Yi's daughter was accepted.
Xu Tingyu went to the balcony.
The guests in the next room also came out to watch the fireworks, and their voices came over with the wind.
"Wow, is there any event these two days? Why have there been fireworks for two consecutive days? I haven't heard about it before."
"Yeah, and they've been going on for so long. These fireworks are so beautiful. They must be expensive."
"Look, look! That's a heart! Could it be some rich guy confessing his love to someone?"
"Who cares? Anyway, we're benefiting. I'm going to take a video. Hehe."
Xu Tingyu listened to the discussions but didn't see Qi Shifeng next door. She didn't even look for him. She just quietly watched the gorgeous fireworks display.
That night, Qi Shifeng didn't send any more messages. Maybe her words really hurt his feelings.
Xu Tingyu, however, didn't sleep well. Her dreams were full of strange scenes, and when she woke up, she couldn't grasp any useful content.
So she stayed in bed until noon. Then she washed up and went to Qi Ye's place.
He was really weak. He had been in bed resting all day yesterday but still hadn't recovered.
When Xu Tingyu arrived, he was drinking soup. He only took a few mouthfuls and then put down his chopsticks. Apparently, he had no appetite.
When he saw her coming, his wrinkled brow relaxed.
"Tingyu, you're here. Tian Yi said you've been sleeping. Did you play too late yesterday and get tired?"
Qi Ye reached out his hand to her. His smile looked very weak.
Chen Chunyao and Zhang Wan were both there. When they saw her coming, Zhang Wan stood up to say hello and then silently sat back down.
Chen Chunyao also gave her a faint smile.
Xu Tingyu greeted both of them, then grabbed Qi Ye's hand and sat down beside him.
"No, I just wanted to stay in bed for a while. How about you? If you're still not feeling well, go to the hospital right away."
She sat on the edge of his bed, and the worry in her eyes was genuine.
With her like this, Qi Ye was already satisfied. Naturally, he didn't care that she hadn't replied to his good-night message last night.
"It's okay. The doctor said it might be due to the acclimatization, so it's so serious. I'll be fine after recuperating for a couple of days."
"I'm just sorry for you. We came here for a vacation together, but I can't accompany you to play. Will you be bored?"
He was really guilty.
It was not easy to come out for a vacation, and she was obviously happy. But he couldn't be with her.
"It doesn't matter. I won't be bored. When you're better, let's go for a walk on the beach. I heard from them that we can also go beachcombing. I've never done that before."
Xu Tingyu let him hold her hand. First, she comforted him, and then she talked about their plan.
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it. We'll go beachcombing tomorrow. Or if you want to go sea fishing, that's fine too."
Qi Ye saw her so enthusiastic and his eyes were filled with gentle smiles.
Chen Chunyao, sitting not far away, could just see Qi Ye's expression.
She saw that he had a straight face just now and told them to go out so that he could be quiet.
Now that Xu Tingyu was here, he seemed to have no discomfort at all and was smiling so happily.
Did he like Xu Tingyu so much? Wasn't he tired of her yet?
She couldn't hide the anger on her face. She could only turn her head to look elsewhere for fear that Qi Ye would notice something.
Just as she turned her head, she happened to see Zhang Wan's expression.
Zhang Wan was also looking at the two of them. Her expression was very complicated, as if she was envious and worried at the same time.
Before she could take a closer look, Zhang Wan's expression returned to calm, and she even glanced at her.
The two people immersed in the discussion didn't notice. They were still discussing going to buy beachcombing equipment.
Qi Ye even couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't expect you to be interested in these things. But I like you like this. You're just like you were in your girlhood."
"I remember once after your performance, you went out for a late-night snack with everyone. But you couldn't move your feet in front of the claw machine."
"Everyone had already arrived at the restaurant and found that you weren't with them. They sent someone to look for you and saw you struggling with the claw machine. You said you wouldn't leave until you caught that pink rabbit."
He had also been at the performance that time.
Since it was a performance in the country, he had transferred three flights to get to her city.
After watching the performance, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
But he still held on until she finished. He originally wanted to invite her to dinner, but unexpectedly, she was going to have a dinner gathering.
When she was left alone, he also thought about going up to her, but then he thought it would be better not to disturb her.
After all, she might not remember him.
In the middle of the night, it would be very scary for a single adult man to approach a little girl out of the blue from the girl's perspective.
He just watched her stop in front of the claw machine and insert coins again and again.
Finally, she got what she wanted and caught that pink long-eared rabbit.
He stood not far away and watched her hug the rabbit and show it off to her companions who came to look for her.
"I knew this rabbit was mine. Haha, isn't it so cute?"
"I'm so awesome. I caught it so well."
That smiling face was pure and enthusiastic, full of the youthful vitality unique to her age.
It was different from her later calmness.
Now, when she talked about going beachcombing, her enthusiastic look was just like when she was a teenager.
Xu Tingyu didn't remember this incident.
Even if she hadn't lost her memory, she probably wouldn't have remembered such a small thing.
However, when her girlhood was mentioned, she still pretended to be very interested and asked a few more questions.
For example, whether he had watched all her performances, and when they actually met.
She didn't dare to ask more. She was afraid that Qi Ye would be sad if she didn't remember, and she was also afraid that asking too many questions would arouse his suspicion.
The two of them chatted on and off like this. Finally, Tian Yi came over and said it was time for lunch.
Only then did Qi Ye realize that they had been chatting for so long and Xu Tingyu hadn't eaten yet. He quickly told her to go and eat.
"Although we haven't had such a chat for a long time, eating is still more important. Go and have your meal, and then let Tian Yi go shopping with you."
Qi Ye was still holding her hand. He then asked Zhang Wan to bring a bank card.
"You didn't have many opportunities to spend money in the UK. I asked Zhang Wan to keep this card for you. Now you can go to the duty-free shop with your friends."
"Buy whatever you like. Don't be stingy at all. The password is six zeros."
Qi Ye stuffed the card into her hand.
In the UK, Xu Tingyu really didn't have many places to spend money. Everything was arranged by Qi Ye.
Now that she was here, she would definitely go to the duty-free shop.
Xu Tingyu didn't decline. She put away the card and smiled at him. "Okay, then I'll go and have my meal. You should rest well."
She really didn't have much money on her. This card came just in time.
