Zhou Qiang looked at him calmly and said, "I won't avoid you. I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me right now, and I can wait for you to cool down."
Zhou Qi stared at him, saying nothing.
Zhou Qiang's expression was gentle: "I'm here to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"I'm going to be transferred."
Zhou Qi was taken aback: "What?"
"I want to transfer from Min City to Yun City," Zhou Qiang said in a calm tone. "The report has already been submitted, and it should be approved soon."
Zhou Qi's gaze turned cold: "Why are you doing this?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Qi," Zhou Qiang said calmly. "My parents both died in Yun City. I've always wanted to go there and see it. Now I finally have the opportunity..."
"So what?" Zhou Qi interrupted him coldly. "You'd rather go so far away just to avoid me?"
Zhou Qiang looked at him, his brow slightly furrowed: "Xiao Qi, your position in my heart is very important. I don't want you to feel wronged because of me."
"..."
Zhou Qi remained silent, staring at him with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Zhou Qiang sighed: "Think about it carefully. I'm leaving now."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Fine."
Zhou Qi's voice suddenly rang out.
Zhou Qiang paused and stopped.
"Since you say that, then I'll grant your wish."
Zhou Qi's voice was soft but carried an indescribable chill.
Zhou Qiang turned around and looked at him: "Thank you, Xiao Qi."
"..."
Zhou Qi said nothing, coldly staring at him.
Zhou Qiang smiled slightly: "Take care of yourself."
"..."
Zhou Qi still did not speak, coldly staring at him.
Zhou Qiang didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Zhou Qi sat in place, coldly staring at the direction of the door.
In the kitchen, Xu Jing was anxiously waiting.
She really wanted to know what Zhou Qiang and Zhou Qi had talked about, but she didn't dare to eavesdrop here.
Zhou Qiang was very clever, and his counter-surveillance skills were strong.
If she were eavesdropping here, he would definitely find out. She couldn't take the risk. Xu Jing turned the heat up to maximum, and the water quickly boiled. She added the noodles, cooked them in just a few moments, and served them into a bowl. She picked up the bowl and walked outside.
Just as she stepped out of the kitchen, she bumped into Zhou Qiang. "Did you finish that quickly?" Zhou Qiang smiled as he took the bowl from her hands. "I'll take it over for you."
Xu Jing looked at him, "How did you come out?"
"I finished talking with Xiao Qi," Zhou Qiang chuckled. "You go back first; I'll bring the noodles over and come right back."
Xu Jing frowned, "Isn't he eating?"
"Yeah," Zhou Qiang nodded. "He said he was full."
"…"
Xu Jing didn't say anything more and turned back.
Not long after she returned to her room, Zhou Qiang came back. He pushed the door open and saw Xu Jing sitting on the sofa, quickly walking over. "Why are you sitting here?"
"…"
Xu Jing looked up at him.
Zhou Qiang squatted down in front of her and lifted her hand. It was then that Xu Jing noticed her hand had been burned. She must have been too anxious earlier to pay attention.
"What happened?" Zhou Qiang frowned, his tone laced with concern.
"It's nothing," Xu Jing pulled her hand back. "It doesn't hurt at all."
"How can it not hurt?" Zhou Qiang stood up and took out burn ointment from the drawer under the TV cabinet, applying it to her hand. "Be more careful next time."
"…"
Xu Jing looked at him without saying a word.
Zhou Qiang put away the ointment, sat down beside her, and held her hand. "Xiao Jing, I want to discuss something with you."
"…"
Xu Jing's heart raced slightly. She had a pretty good idea of what Zhou Qiang was going to say.
"I want to transfer jobs," Zhou Qiang looked at her. "From Min City to Yun City."
"…"
Xu Jing slightly lowered her gaze, avoiding his eyes. Just as she thought. Zhou Qiang's request for a transfer this time was likely to avoid Zhou Qi.
He didn't want to continue fighting with Zhou Qi anymore.
He also didn't want to make things difficult for Zhou Wenguang.
So, he chose to leave.
Xu Jing looked up at his smiling face and said, "Okay."
Zhou Qiang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Don't you want to ask me why?"
Xu Jing shook her head, "If you don't want to say, I won't ask."
"..."
Zhou Qiang looked at her and remained silent.
Xu Jing asked, "When are you leaving?"
"The transfer order hasn't come down yet," Zhou Qiang chuckled, "the earliest will be next month."
"..."
Xu Jing pressed her lips together and said nothing.
Zhou Qiang held her hand gently, "You don't have to come with me; Yun City is too harsh. You should stay here and be well..."
"I want to go," Xu Jing interrupted him.
Zhou Qiang was surprised, "What?"
"I said I want to go," Xu Jing looked at him, "I want to go with you."
"..."
Zhou Qiang frowned slightly, "Xiao Jing, Yun City..."
"I have no family left in Min City," Xu Jing looked at him, "are you really going to leave me here alone?"
"..."
Zhou Qiang looked at her and remained silent.
Xu Jing tightened her grip on his hand, "I want to be with you."
Zhou Qiang looked at her for a long time and sighed, "Alright."
