Love Ignites A Prairie Fire - Chapter 1
Love Burns
Text / Mu Jinan
In the middle of the night, everything was silent.
Qi Huan finished drawing the last cartoon, and after coloring and retouching, he stretched with satisfaction.
She didn’t want to stay up late at first, but she thought that she had already drawn the finale, so she might as well finish the drawing in one go, but she didn’t expect it to be three o’clock in the morning.
Qi Huan sent the file to the editor and didn’t care anymore.
The next day, she didn’t wake up until eleven o’clock, it was because of Jiang Youxia’s phone call.
“Hello? Xia Xia.” Qi Huan’s voice was vague, looking like he didn’t wake up.
Jiang Youxia heard it immediately and asked helplessly, “Did you stay up late last night to draw comics?”
Qi Huan yawned, rolled on the bed again, and replied, “It happened to be the finale, so I thought I would rest after painting, but I didn’t expect it to end so late.”
Jiang Youxia was speechless: “I told you not to stay up late, but you didn’t listen. Staying up too much will make you ugly!”
Qi Huan was silent for a while, then patted her cheek and said, “I still seem so pretty.”
Jiang Youxia was too lazy to pay attention to her narcissistic words, and said, “I’ll go to your house in a while, you’d better wash me well, and then have dinner with me.”
Hearing that Jiang Youxia would bring lunch, Qi Huan’s weak voice instantly became a little more energetic, “Xiaxia, I love you the most!”
An hour later, the doorbell rang.
Qi Huan tied her hair with a hair tie and went to the door to open the door. Seeing Jiang Youxia eating food, her eyes lit up, “I’m just hungry!”
Jiang Youxia handed the things to Qi Huan, and then changed her shoes, “I knew you didn’t eat breakfast until you got up, so I bought more.”
Qi Huan set the food on the table, then went to get the orange juice, and when Jiang Youxia was seated, she couldn’t wait to start eating the pickled fish in front of her.
Seeing her eating in big chunks, Jiang Youxia couldn’t help looking at her, and said in confusion, “You said you eat a lot, why don’t you see any meat?”
Speaking, his eyes glanced down again, “Or do you prefer to choose a place for your meat to grow?”
Qi Huan raised her eyebrows and said, “Because I am naturally beautiful.”
Jiang Youxia couldn’t refute, she was almost shocked when she saw Qi Huan for the first time. In the dormitory of Xichuan University at that time, Qi Huan was the last one to come here. His jet-black hair, fair skin, and delicate and soft facial features were hard to forget at first sight.
Even now, when she saw Qi Huan’s smiling crescent eyes, she was still subconsciously soft.
Jiang Youxia couldn’t help sighing: “Sister Huan, you should be glad that you are good-looking, otherwise I would have beaten you a hundred times for the appearance of you saying that.”
Qi Huan touched her cheek, not feeling shy at all, she smiled and said, “I really want to thank my mother for being so good at giving birth.”
Jiang Youxia burst out laughing, then shook his head helplessly, “You said before that your comics were contacted by a film and television company, how is it now?”
Mentioning this matter, Qi Huan’s eyes lit up instantly, “It’s been negotiated, and I’m waiting for the contract.”
Jiang Youxia also opened her eyes wide, then said with a smile: “Then I should bring a bottle of red wine today to celebrate for you.”
“When the contract is signed, I’ll invite you to have a good meal!” Qi Huan said with frowning eyes.
Cartoons have always been Qi Huan’s hobby since childhood. When she was in college, she began to serialize comics on the website. The initial level and grades were not good, but she never thought of giving up.
The previous work suddenly became popular, although she was surprised but not surprised, because she put a lot of effort into it.
A hobby has turned into a career, although the daily life will be a bit boring, but she doesn’t get bored of doing the things she likes many times.
“How about tonight?” Jiang Youxia suggested, his eyes suddenly ambiguous, “I will take you to see the world and find some handsome guys to accompany us to drink?”
Qi Huan was heartbroken for a moment, then shook her head and said, “There is a high school class reunion tonight, no.”
Jiang Youxia raised her eyebrows, “That song is simple?”
“How could he go, such a busy man.” Qi Huan snorted dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Youxia looked at her and smiled: “Do you still have a great opinion on Qu Jianshen?”
Qi Huan pursed her lips: “What about other people’s children?”
After all, what she hated the most since she was a child: “Look at other people’s Qu Jian Shen…”

Xichuan City has developed rapidly in recent years, and has already squeezed into the ranks of first-tier metropolises, and business opportunities are everywhere. As the most well-known Heyuan Group in Xichuan City, it has almost become a benchmark in the business world.
Especially after Qu Jianshen took over, he transformed the old west of Xichuan into a large-scale park integrating ecological and cultural landscapes. A business district has been formed around it, with many shops, making it the most beautiful park in Xichuan. prosperous area.
Qi Huan took a taxi and came to the outside of the Xinghu Hotel. After getting off the bus, she couldn’t help but sigh, and it was another day to send money to Qu Jianshen.
Although it was a high school reunion, not many people came, and they all had a good relationship with Qi Huan, which is why she was willing to come.
As soon as she entered the box, Ao Ziyue greeted her and said with a smile, “You are getting prettier now.”
Qi Huan wore a black and white gradation suspender skirt, which made her skin more delicate and fair.
Ao Ziyue couldn’t help but stretch out her hand, “Qi Huan, can I pinch your cheek like before? Why haven’t you changed at all!”
Qi Huan rolled her eyes: “I just said that I am getting more and more beautiful, and now I say that I have not changed, so have I become beautiful?”
Ji Wei next to her also smiled and said, “It seems that your narcissistic personality has not changed at all.”
The others in the box also laughed.
Except Qi Huan, four people came, all girls, and they all had a good relationship in high school.
Although we haven’t seen each other for several years, we meet again but we are not unfamiliar at all. We chat about the current situation and our student days.
“I heard that you are a cartoonist now, Qi Huan, yes.” Ke Yafan looked at her in surprise.
Qi Huan said modestly, “It’s actually just interest.”
Ao Ziyue sighed and said, “It’s good if you’re interested. Think about our social animals. Just going to work is very tiring, and you have to look at the leader’s wink.”
Ji Wei nodded: “So I quit my job and prepare to take the exam.”
Ke Yafan smiled: “Ling Hui has a happy event to tell everyone.”
Guo Linghui pursed her lips and bowed her head shyly, “I’m getting married this year.”
Qi Huan was surprised, and quickly looked at her with the others.
“So soon?”
“You seem to have been talking for several years, and it’s almost there.”
“Congratulations.”
The four raised their glasses to congratulate her.
Qi Huan knew that Guo Linghui was the same age as herself. She was only 25 years old this year. It was unexpected for her to get married so early.
Guo Linghui said embarrassedly: “The wedding will be held on National Day. If you are willing to come, I will send you invitations. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. Now everyone is busy with work and life, so I I don’t want to trouble everyone.”
Ao Ziyue said first: “There must be time for the National Day, I must go!”
Others responded.
Qi Huan also said with a smile: “Of course I’m going, congratulations.”
Guo Linghui blushed, “Thank you.”
At this time, the topic changed, talking about the student days, and then talking about Qu Jianshen.
“Speaking of which, this hotel seems to be owned by the Heyuan Group. Now Qu Jianshen is the male **** in the hearts of thousands of girls in Xichuan.” Ji Wei said.
Qi Huan originally smiled slightly, but frowned when she heard this: “Is it that exaggerated?”
Mirror, that is simply the accepted husband candidate of the Xichuan girl.”
Qi Huan: “…”
“Yeah, the girls who chased him at school in the past can go around the school playground several times.” Ji Wei poked Ao Ziyue next to him, and said with a smile: “You didn’t before. Do you also like Qu Jianshen?”
Ao Ziyue smiled generously: “I like it, but I know the gap between each other, so I ended my secret love long ago.”
Qi Huan couldn’t help drinking a few more sips of wine, secretly unhappy that Qu Jianshen was so popular.
Guo Linghui also looked at Qi Huan curiously at this time and asked, “Have you known Qu Jianshen for so long, haven’t you been moved?”
“Yeah, the love of getting along day and night, his face will be moved a few more times, right?” Ji Wei was a little puzzled.
Qi Huan couldn’t help shaking the goose bumps on his body, and then frowned in disgust: “Don’t talk about it, it’s weird. It’s just that you have filters for him, I even had him when he was a child. I can still remember the appearance of the snot, and I can’t be moved at all.”
Others: “…”
Thanks, the filter is broken.
“Do you know? Qu Jian sinks into him…” Qi Huan is not good at drinking, so he will drink a few more glasses, and he will talk a lot.
Ao Ziyue asked cautiously, “Huan, are you drinking too much?”
“No, no.” Qi Huan shook his head inarticulately, “Qu Jianshen is a vicious capitalist, don’t put any filters on him. When I was a child, I used to oppress me and make I ran errands for him, even my change was taken away by him, it’s a robber woo woo…”

Xichuan Airport.
The man slowly came out of the exit wearing a tailored high-definition suit. His eyebrows were clear and handsome, his jaw line was clear and sharp, and his wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs all showed his proportions.
“Which star is this?” a passerby asked in a low voice.
Some people dare to look around, and some people stop to peek.
Qu Jian looked straight ahead, ignoring these eyes, until after getting into the car, he rubbed his eyebrows slightly.
Assistant Xu Ling turned the temperature in the car to a suitable temperature, and then said, “Boss, you haven’t slept all night because of this case, I’ll take you back to rest.”
Qu Jian nodded lightly.
In the box of the Star Lake Hotel, when the party came to an end, only Qi Huan drank a few more glasses of wine, and now he can’t stand still.
Ji Wei smiled helplessly: “It’s cool to scold Qu Jian when you’re drunk, I’ll take you back.”
Qi Huan shook his head and took out his mobile phone with difficulty, “I…I won’t delay you, I’ll find my little sister to pick up…”
She had blurry eyes. After unlocking the mobile phone password with her fingerprint, she opened the recent call log, and then asked Jiang Youxia’s name crookedly.
Qu Jian closed her eyes and rested, but she didn’t expect Qi Huan to call at this time, so she picked it up immediately, and there was a sound of drunkenness from Qi Huan.
“Xia Xia Xia… I’m at the Xinghu Hotel, come and pick me up.”
Beep—
Hang up.
Qu Jian frowned slightly, and said without hesitation: “Go to Xinghu Hotel.”
“But…” Xu Ling wanted to say that Qu Jian had stayed up all night and needed a rest, but he was still defeated by his eyes.
Qi Huan was helped out of the hotel by Ao Ziyue and Ji Wei, and wanted her to wake up and sober up, but Ke Yafan and Guo Linghui were too late and their homes were far away. Go back first.
When Qu Jianshen arrived, she saw Qi Huan leaning on the bench outside the hotel, her fair skin dazzling under the light.
He changed from fast to slow, and walked helplessly in the direction of Qi Huan.
Qu Jian felt a little relieved in her heart, and said in a slightly cold tone: “With such a poor alcohol intake, how dare you drink so much wine?”
At this time, Qi Huan raised her eyes slightly, but her dark pupils contained a trace of grievance, “Why did you come, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
