Chapter 285 Pursuing Zhao Wanqing
Chapter 285 Pursuing Zhao Wanqing
Since Zhao Wanqing traveled to the modern era, she has not received a high level of education.
But at eighteen, she had already blossomed into a graceful young woman with beautiful features and an elegant demeanor in every gesture.
Since that live broadcast of the competition, she has not only become a highly regarded celebrity,
She was also signed as a dance teacher by a well-known dance institution.
Not only that, she also became the owner of a shop selling antique clothing in the city center, living a very fulfilling life.
Every day, her shop is surrounded by customers who come from far and wide, and many admirers come to fawn over her.
Company CEOs, college students, and even her students sent her all sorts of gifts, hoping to win her favor.
On this day, Zhao Wanqing stood in front of the mirror, gently tidying her long hair.
She invited Qiu Ziyue to come to her shop for a visit.
After the two transmigrated, they formed the Yu Yue Qing Xuan Feng duo, becoming not only good partners but also inseparable friends.
Qiu Ziyue arrived at her shop.
The two had barely sat down when a young CEO in a suit walked into the store, carrying an exquisite gift box.
"Teacher Zhao, this is a gift I carefully selected. I hope you will like it."
The CEO said with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Zhao Wanqing smiled politely and accepted the gift box:
"Thank you for your kind gesture, but I already have someone I like, so I can only appreciate it from the bottom of my heart."
The boss was slightly taken aback, but still maintained his composure.
"Then I wish you happiness too, Teacher Zhao."
After seeing the boss off, Zhao Wanqing turned around and sighed at Qiu Ziyue:
"These people are so enthusiastic, but you should know that in my heart, I only love Changming."
Qiu Ziyue patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"It's good that you have your own principles. True love cannot be measured by material things."
Zhao Wanqing nodded, a determined glint in her eyes:
"Yes, I don't want to lose what's truly important because of momentary vanity."
At that moment, a male student who looked like a college student walked into the store, carrying a bouquet of flowers.
"Teacher Zhao, these flowers are for you. I hope you will accept them as a token of my appreciation."
Zhao Wanqing shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have someone I like, so please don't waste your time on me."
The boy looked a little disappointed, but still smiled and said:
"Understood, wishing you happiness."
Watching her suitors leave one by one, Qiu Ziyue sighed and said:
"Wanqing, you are really strong. In this materialistic world, it is not easy to stick to your own heart."
Zhao Wanqing sat in front of Qiu Ziyue, her eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of anxiety.
"Qiu Ziyue,"
Zhao Wanqing spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly.
"You've regained your memories, can you help me? I want to go back."
Qiu Ziyue looked at Zhao Wanqing, her heart filled with sympathy.
She knew how many difficulties and confusions Zhao Wanqing had experienced in this unfamiliar world.
However, she is also aware of the limitations she faces.
"Wanqing,"
Qiu Ziyue sighed, her tone tinged with apology.
"I do have the ability to travel through time, but it's only one-way. Uncle Moquan never told me how to go back, and I've consulted all sorts of ancient and strange books, but I haven't found any way to travel back."
Zhao Wanqing's face darkened slightly, her disappointment evident.
She thought she had found hope, but instead fell into the abyss of despair once again.
"Then...is there no other way?"
Zhao Wanqing's voice was almost inaudible, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Qiu Ziyue frowned, considering every possibility.
She didn't want to disappoint Zhao Wanqing, and she didn't want to see her continue to struggle in this hopelessness.
"Wanqing, although I don't have a definite answer right now, I still advise you to be more realistic. We live in the modern world, and you can start your life anew."
Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing sat in the shop, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
A flash of anger crossed Zhao Wanqing's eyes; her emotions seemed to have reached their peak.
"And now you're saying modern people need to face reality."
Zhao Wanqing's voice carried obvious dissatisfaction.
"Do you know what I went through? You insisted on giving me that kind of poison to control me, forcing me to travel through time."
Qiu Ziyue was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Zhao Wanqing to suddenly bring up that painful memory.
She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm:
"Sister Wanqing, I know that period was tough for you, but you've also seen yourself now. You've not only become a celebrity, but you've also opened your own shop and gained many supporters and friends. Isn't that a good thing?"
Zhao Wanqing suddenly stood up, her hands clenched into fists:
"Do you think these superficial things can make up for everything? If it weren't for you, Lu Yuanchangming and I might have already been married in ancient times, and now you're here making sarcastic remarks."
Qiu Ziyue sighed softly, stood up, and walked to Zhao Wanqing's side, trying to comfort her:
"Wanqing, I know you have a lot of grievances and resentment in your heart. However, we can't change the past. The most important thing now is to cherish everything in front of you and find your own happiness."
Zhao Wanqing remained silent for a while, her gaze gradually softening.
But the resentment and bitterness in her heart were not so easily dispelled.
"I just sometimes think about my old life and feel that everything has changed too fast."
Zhao Wanqing said softly,
"I know people should look forward, but I still can't forget the past, I can't forget Changming."
Qiu Ziyue smiled and held Zhao Wanqing's hand:
"Yes, I understand. I'm not used to being here either. We can't have the same kind of married life as before, but I'm still trying to live each day to the fullest. We should both live well and make each day meaningful."
Zhao Wanqing smiled, and the gloom in her heart gradually dissipated.
She knew she could no longer dwell on the pain of the past, but had to bravely face reality.
"Thank you, Twilight Sparkle, but if possible, I would still like to go back to the past."
Qiu Ziyue looked at Zhao Wanqing, and she really wanted to tell Zhao Wanqing about how she and Lu Yuanchangming used the Soul-Returning Technique in Yangzhou.
But she remembered what Lu Yuanchangming had said: don't tell Zhao Wanqing.
She worried that if she told Zhao Wanqing, Zhao Wanqing would use her "resurrection technique" to find Lu Yuanchangming.
Who knows what kind of trouble might happen? They might both be annihilated, which would make her feel even worse.
Qiu Ziyue thought for a moment, then swallowed back what she wanted to say.
However, they did not notice that a shop assistant hiding in a corner had overheard their conversation.
This shop assistant is Qin Jiangwu, a college student majoring in dance.
He had helped Zhao Wanqing when she participated in the preliminary live-stream competition for the female lead.
During my holiday job, I happened to come across Zhao Wanqing's newly opened shop, so I applied for a job and became a shop assistant.
The moment he saw Zhao Wanqing, he was attracted by her unique charm and secretly developed feelings for her.
Qin Jiangwu stood there silently. He understood Zhao Wanqing's pain and helplessness, and at the same time, he felt a pang of heartache.
He knew that Zhao Wanqing already had Lu Yuanchangming in her heart, but he still hoped to be by her side, even if only as a small protector.
"Wanqing..."
Qin Jiangwu murmured to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"I will always be here, silently supporting you."
