Chapter 118 No Courage
With a surge of determination in his heart, Meng Yanchen walked towards the abandoned building. He carefully walked around the broken railing and stepped into the building. The dark corridor was filled with the smell of dust, and Meng Yanchen felt a little uneasy, but he did not retreat.
"There must be something unusual here." He said to himself while exploring the surroundings. Suddenly, his feet stepped on a sunken place, making a dull sound.
Meng Yanchen squatted down and looked at the ground carefully. He found a seemingly ordinary floor tile, but near the edge of the floor tile, there was a tiny crack, as if hiding something.
With a thought in mind, Meng Yanchen decided to move the floor tile to see if there was any secret underneath. He grabbed the edge of the floor tile and lifted it up, and the floor tile was finally moved away, revealing a dark hole that seemed to lead to another world.
Meng Yanchen walked along the dark cave, taking every step carefully, fearing that he might trigger a trap. He was filled with tension and excitement, knowing that this path might lead him to the truth, but it was also full of unknowns and dangers.
In the darkness, he used his hands to feel around from time to time, trying to find some clues or signs. Although the darkness frightened him, Meng Yanchen did not stop, because he knew that only by facing fear could he break through difficulties and achieve his goals.
As he walked forward, Meng Yanchen began to think about Xu Qin's attitude. He couldn't help but imagine that maybe he was too focused on the investigation and ignored her feelings and needs. Maybe Xu Qin just needed a little time to adjust herself, and he should be more patient and wait for her return.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice suddenly sounded behind him, breaking his meditation. Meng Yanchen was startled and looked back to find Cheng Hao following him with a gleam in his eyes.
"Oh, nothing." Meng Yanchen tried to downplay his emotions, but Cheng Hao seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
"I know you are worried about Xu Qin, but I believe she will come back. Our focus now is to keep moving forward and find the answers we are looking for." Cheng Hao's voice was full of confidence and encouragement.
Meng Yanchen nodded and looked at Cheng Hao gratefully. He knew that he had the support of such a friend, and no matter how many difficulties there were ahead, he would be able to move forward courageously.
The two continued to move forward, and the dark cave seemed to have no end. But they did not give up, because they believed that as long as they persevered, they would eventually find their answer.
After leaving the dark cave, Meng Yanchen felt a sense of relief, but at the same time he felt exhausted. He realized that he needed some time to relax and rest, so he decided to go to a small bar not far from the school to relax.
When he entered the bar, Meng Yanchen felt a familiar atmosphere. The rhythm of the music and the crowd in the bar made him feel comfortable and relaxed. He found a corner to sit down, ordered a beer, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the atmosphere of the bar.
In the bar, he saw many different types of people, some were talking and laughing, some were in deep thought, and some were drinking alone. Meng Yanchen couldn't help but start thinking about everyone's story, their past, their dreams, and their pursuits.
"Meng Yanchen, why are you here?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded, breaking his contemplation. Meng Yanchen raised his head and saw Xu Qin standing in front of him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Xu Qin, why are you here?" Meng Yanchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xu Qin to come to this bar.
Xu Qin sat opposite him, smiled bitterly, and said, "I need a place, a quiet place, to think about something."
Meng Yanchen looked at Xu Qin, and a sense of enlightenment came to his mind. Perhaps Xu Qin, like him, was also troubled by some troubles and needed a place to release his emotions and pressure.
"If you need, I can stay with you." Meng Yanchen said gently. He felt Xu Qin's loneliness and helplessness and wanted to give her some comfort and support.
Xu Qin nodded and looked at him gratefully, with a touch of emotion in her eyes. In this familiar yet unfamiliar environment, they became each other's most sincere confidants, sharing each other's thoughts and troubles.
When Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin were talking to each other in the bar, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them. Xu Qin raised her head and found Meng Yanchen sitting not far away, talking to a girl.
She was suspicious and hurried towards Meng Yanchen. When she got close to him, she saw the surprised expression on Meng Yanchen's face and the gentle smile of the girl.
"Meng Yanchen, why are you here?" Xu Qin's voice was a little uneasy. She wanted to know what Meng Yanchen and the girl were doing.
Meng Yanchen stood up and looked at Xu Qin, feeling a little guilty. He had never thought that he would be caught by Xu Qin in this situation, and he had never thought that he would make her feel worried and uneasy.
"Xu Qin, I..." Meng Yanchen tried to explain, but Xu Qin stopped him with his hand.
"No need to explain." Xu Qin's voice was a little cold. She turned around and was about to leave, but Meng Yanchen quickly grabbed her hand.
"Xu Qin, wait a moment." Meng Yanchen's voice was full of sincerity and apology. He didn't want this friendship to be hurt by misunderstanding.
Xu Qin stopped, turned around, and looked into Meng Yanchen's eyes. She saw the sincerity and seriousness in Meng Yanchen's eyes, and the doubts and uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Let's go back." Meng Yanchen said softly. He wanted to sit down and have a good communication with Xu Qin to resolve the misunderstandings and doubts in his heart.
After returning to campus, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin remained silent. On the way home, Meng Yanchen was struggling. He knew he had done nothing wrong, but he still felt a little guilty. He didn't know why he felt guilty, nor did he understand why he was affected by Xu Qin's misunderstanding.
After returning to the dormitory, Meng Yanchen lay on the bed and closed his eyes. He began to reflect on his behavior and mentality. Perhaps it was because he cared too much about Xu Qin's thoughts that he cared about her reaction. But he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why was she so sensitive, why did she misunderstand him?
"Maybe I'm just making excuses for myself." Meng Yanchen thought silently. He realized that he might not be completely clear about his feelings and thoughts. Maybe he did have some special feelings for Xu Qin, but he didn't have the courage to face them.
