Starlight Has No Past

Chapter 35 Part 3

Ye Qiao unlocked the door and was stunned .
The man at the door gently smiled at her, despite the fact that his clothes were soaked through . It was Zhou Tingsheng .

He was still wearing the same clothes, now half dry and half wet . There were two boxes of mooncakes in his hand . The mooncakes were from a famous bakery with a hundred year history . It was usually very difficult to get their mooncakes this time of the year, Ye Qiao wondered how he acquired them, especially at this time of the day . .

AdvertisementYe Qiao hastily pushed Zhou Tingsheng out of the doorway . It was completely dark by now . Zhou Tingsheng leaned against the wall and prepared to be interrogated: “What are you doing here?”
Zhou Tingsheng raised the boxes in his hand up: “To deliver mooncakes to you . ”
Ye Qiao grit her teeth: “I didn’t ask about that . ”
He played dumb: “Then what are you asking?”
Ye Qiao gave up: “Where did you get the mooncakes?”
Zhou Tingsheng answered honestly this time: “I got them from home . My mom used to love their mooncakes . My family always orders mooncakes from them every year . ”
Ye Qiao didn’t know what else to say . She touched his wet shoulder and frowned: “Then why didn’t you change your clothes at home?”

Zhou Tingsheng smiled: “I forgot . ”

Ye Zhiliang looked at the door and wondered aloud: “What’s going on? Why hasn’t she invited the guest in . Instead she walked out herself . ”
Ye Qiao’s aunt had sharp eyes and already noticed the young man at the door . She turned to question Qianxi: “What’s going on? Do you know who that is?”

Qianxi recoiled in her chair with an innocent expression and used both of her hands to cover her mouth: “I don’t know, I don’t know! I won’t tell you even if I have to die!”
The old lady turned to face her and slowly said: “Xixi, be a good girl and tell grandma who’s outside?”

“ . . . . . . ” Qianxi couldn’t take the pressure from being stared at by several pairs of eyes and finally confessed: “I’m not exactly sure . I only took a glance at him and he looks familiar . He’s probably her… . . . boyfriend?”
She was telling the truth when she said ‘probably . ’ All she knew was that this man seemed to have a relationship with her cousin and that her cousin seemed to have met someone she liked lately . She drew her conclusion simply based on these two points .

The older generation in the room, however, all overlooked the word ‘probably' . Ye Zhiliang sternly scolded her: “Why haven’t you told us that your cousin has a boyfriend?”
Qianxi: “ . . . . . . ” She thought: What does that have anything to do with me! I won’t tell you about my boyfriend myself!
Qianxi’s mother asked again: “If that’s her boyfriend, why isn’t he coming with your cousin?”
Qianxi: “Ah……” How would she know!

The old lady sighed: “Qiaoqiao can be sulky sometimes and always needs others to sweet-talk her . He’s already come here, invite him in, hurry . ”
Qianxi: “Urr . . . . . . ” She was amazed at her family's imagination .

Before Qianxi could say anything, her father already went over to open the door .
The porch lights came on . The two people in the dark outside the door were at a loss of what to do .
Ye Zhiliang noticed Ye Qiao’s uneasiness on her stern face and took it as the sign that she was giving the man a difficult time . Ye Zhiliang amiably said: “Why are you talking with the guest here? It’s raining outside, invite your friend in already . ”
