Chapter 193 Out of place
As I left the factory, the rain was still pouring down.
Jiang Songchu's gaze searched through the rainy night, and suddenly, her eyes fixed on a black car not far away.
The car lights were off, and the car body looked particularly inconspicuous in the rainy night, but Jiang Songchu recognized the car at a glance—it was Qin Tianyi's car.
The car door slowly opened, and a tall, slender figure stepped out.
Qin Tianyi, holding a black umbrella, slowly walked towards her.
His face was exceptionally clear in the rainy night, with exquisite features and a faint smile on his lips.
"Initially".
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed some kind of magic.
Jiang Songchu stood there, rain streaming down her cheeks. Her gaze met Qin Tianyi's, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
She opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong? You can't even speak when you see me?"
Qin Tianyi walked up to her, tilted the umbrella slightly, and shielded her from the rain.
Jiang Songchu's breath hitched slightly, her fingers unconsciously clenched, and her throat felt dry.
"Qin Tianyi, how did you know I was here?"
Qin Tianyi looked down at her, a hint of heartache in his eyes: "I told you, I was just passing by. I just happened to... pick you up and take you home."
Jiang Songchu frowned even more, her voice tinged with doubt.
"Take me home?"
"Qin Tianyi, we don't seem to be that close, are we?"
Qin Tianyi chuckled softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"You're still so stubborn."
"However, now is not the time to be reckless."
"With this heavy rain, are you planning to walk back?"
Jiang Songchu remained silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry about it."
A hint of a smile flashed in Qin Tianyi's eyes. He leaned down slightly, got close to her ear, and whispered something.
"Chu Chu, are you sure you want to throw a tantrum at me right now?"
His breath brushed against her ear, carrying a hint of warmth.
Jiang Songchu's body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously took a step back, but Qin Tianyi grabbed her wrist.
"Stop fooling around, get in the car."
His voice carried an undeniable air of authority.
Jiang Songchu looked up at him, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.
Finally, she said in a low voice through gritted teeth.
"Let go, I can walk by myself."
Qin Tianyi chuckled, released her hand, and turned to walk towards the car.
Jiang Songchu followed behind him, the rain still pelting her, but a complex emotion inexplicably welled up in her heart.
After getting into the car, Qin Tianyi turned on the heater, and the car became much warmer immediately.
Jiang Songchu sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window, remaining silent.
Qin Tianyi glanced at her, a smile playing on his lips: "What, you're not even going to say thank you?"
Jiang Songchu frowned slightly, her voice indifferent: "Thank you, take me to the hotel."
Qin Tianyi chuckled lightly, said nothing more, and started the car.
In the rainy night, the black sedan slowly drove away from the abandoned factory, heading towards the Qin family's residence.
The car was completely silent except for the sound of raindrops hitting the windows.
Jiang Songchu's gaze remained fixed on the view outside the window, but her heart was far from at peace.
She knew that Qin Tianyi's appearance was definitely not just a coincidence.
In the deserted rainy night, Qin Tianyi drove very fast and arrived at his destination in no time.
Jiang Songchu stood in the center of the room, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings. The room was simply yet elegantly furnished, with warm-toned lighting spilling onto the soft bed, creating a particularly cozy atmosphere.
However, her mood was completely out of sync with this warm atmosphere.
She glared at the smiling man not far away, her voice tinged with annoyance: "Didn't you say you'd take me to the hotel?"
Qin Tianyi leaned against the door, his hands in his pockets, a playful smile playing on his lips.
His gaze fell on Jiang Songchu, with a hint of mockery: "No hotel is as comfortable as home."
Jiang Songchu's brows furrowed even more, and her voice turned cold: "Qin Tianyi, what exactly do you want?"
Qin Tianyi chuckled softly, walked slowly to her, looked down at her, and his eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Don't worry, Aunt Rong has already cleaned the room, and the clean clothes are all in the closet."
"Just relax and stay here tonight, don't overthink it."
Jiang Songchu's breath hitched slightly, and her fingers unconsciously clenched: "You've prepared quite thoroughly."
A hint of a smile flashed in Qin Tianyi's eyes, and his voice was deep and magnetic: "My parents aren't here. My bedroom is right next door. Call me anytime if you need anything."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door without waiting for Jiang Songchu's response.
As he reached the door, he stopped, turned back to look at her, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
Goodnight... Chu Chu.
The door closed gently, and Jiang Songchu stood there, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.
She rubbed her hair in frustration and muttered to herself.
"What exactly is this guy up to?"
She turned around and locked the door. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go wash up first.
Upon entering the bathroom, she saw brand-new toiletries neatly arranged on the sink, and even a full range of skincare products.
Jiang Songchu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but wonder: Had Qin Tianyi made preparations all along, just waiting to bring her to this old house?
She quickly washed up, dried her hair, and changed into the pajamas she had prepared.
Lying in bed, Jiang Songchu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her mind was still restless.
It was almost 1:30, but she wasn't sleepy at all.
The strange things that happened today are still unclear—Joey's sudden disappearance, the sniper's appearance, Qin Tianyi's "coincidence"...
She turned over, her gaze falling on the rainy night outside the window.
Raindrops pattered against the window, making a soft sound, as if telling a story.
Jiang Songchu kept replaying everything that had happened that day in his mind, trying to find some clues.
"Who sent Joey? Who is that sniper? And Qin Tianyi... why did he suddenly appear?"
Jiang Songchu murmured softly, his brows furrowed.
She picked up her phone, opened her contacts, and her eyes fell on the name "Qin Tianyi".
Her fingers slid lightly across the screen. She didn't know if he was asleep, and hesitated whether to call him and ask him.
However, she eventually put down her phone and sighed softly, "Never mind, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Just then, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the door.
Jiang Songchu's body tensed instantly. Her eyes were fixed on the door, and her ears twitched slightly as she tried to catch any sounds outside.
The footsteps stopped at the door, followed by Qin Tianyi's deep voice from outside.
"Chuchu, are you asleep?"
