Chapter 92 Are you stupid?

"I've got it, I've got it."

Yu Qing sat on the bed, holding three cards in her hand. She slowly pushed them aside until she saw the last card, a 7. She jumped up with joy and exclaimed, "Hahaha, a straight of 5, 6, and 7!"

Lu Chi sat opposite him, his face covered in turtle drawings, looking quite comical. He glanced at the cards in his hand and said calmly, "You win."

"You're having bad luck today. Want me to share some of my luck with you?" Yu Qing said smugly, then picked up a red pen and held it up to Lu Chi, thinking, "Let me think about what to draw this time."

"How about drawing a Pikachu?"

Yu Qing muttered to himself as he began to trace lines on Lu Chi's forehead with his pen.

A moment later, an extremely abstract Pikachu took shape on his forehead, with densely packed turtles on both sides, making Yu Qing feel a great sense of accomplishment.

What could be more satisfying than defeating a genius?

Moreover, he won ten games in a row.

Despite losing ten games in a row, Lu Chi remained calm, letting Yu Qing paint on his face as if he didn't care much.

"Let me see what your cards are?"

Yu Qing's tone was tinged with curiosity as she reached out to take the cards from Lu Chi's hand. Lu Chi, however, instinctively put his hand back and stammered, "We...we've already lost. Let's play the next round."

"Just take a look, just one glance."

Yu Qing had no intention of giving up so easily. A sly smile appeared on her lips as she pounced on Lu Chi and pinned him down.

While Lu Chi was distracted, Yu Qing grabbed his cards. When he saw that Lu Chi had a straight flush, he slowly got up from Lu Chi and said indifferently, "Boring, I don't want to play anymore."

Lu Chi slowly came to his senses, and looked up at Yu Qing: "Really not playing anymore?"

"It's not fun."

Yu Qing went outside to the balcony and idly enjoyed the breeze.

Lu Chi followed him over and stood beside him, asking, "Are you angry?"

"A little," Yu Qing said, gazing into the distance.

Lu Chi was somewhat at a loss, stammering for a long time without knowing what to say, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I thought... as long as you won, you would be happy."

Yu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

He turned to look at Lu Chi.

Lu Chi stared blankly at him with his face covered in turtle-like grime.

The two locked eyes.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

The surrounding noise was shut out, and only the sound of each other's heartbeats echoed softly in the air.

Yu Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Are you silly? I was just kidding. I had a lot of fun today, thanks."

"That's good." Lu Chi breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought Yu Qing was really angry.

Seeing his silly and simple-minded appearance, coupled with the turtle pattern on his face, Yu Qing couldn't help but laugh again.

Lu Chi didn't react at first, staring blankly at him: "What...what are you laughing at?"

Yu Qing suppressed a laugh and gently patted Lu Chi's shoulder: "It's nothing, I'll go get you some water to soak your feet."

"I... can walk by myself."

"Stop talking nonsense and wait here."

Yu Qing walked towards the kitchen, her steps light and firm, while the sound of the faucet echoed from the bathroom.

Lu Chi stood on the balcony, watching his back.

He let out a heavy sigh.

Without realizing it, he seemed to have incurred another favor.

Just then, Yu Qing came out of the bathroom carrying a basin of water and a towel, steam rising from the basin. He walked over to Lu Chi, wrung out the towel, and handed it to him: "Wash your face first, don't look like a big cat covered in dirt."

Lu Chi gave a soft "oh," took the hot towel from Yu Qing's hand, put his glasses aside, and quietly began to wash his face.

When he handed her the towel, her previously dirty face had been wiped clean. Yu Qing then brought her a small stool to sit down: "Soak your feet first, and I'll apply some medicine later. Let's see if it gets better tomorrow. If it's still this swollen, we'll probably have to go to the hospital."

Upon hearing the words "go to the hospital," Lu Chi quickly waved his hand, saying, "No need to go to the hospital, I'm really fine, I'll be alright after a couple of days of rest."

"Is your health more important, or your money?" Yu Qing said irritably.

"Money is important," Lu Chi replied without hesitation.

Awesome!

Yu Qing pointed at Lu Chi for a long time without saying a word. After thinking for a moment, she said, "This is an injury sustained while doing a good deed. It's considered a work-related injury, and there's a bonus. It can be reimbursed later, understand?"

"I understand." Lu Chi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Yu Qing slowly lowered her fingers and sighed helplessly.

In fact, ordinary families like theirs often subconsciously equate going to the hospital with spending a lot of money, and they generally won't go to the hospital unless their bodies really can't take it anymore.

Yu Qing has a deep understanding of this.

So when he heard about Lu Chi's obsession with money, he always felt a tightness in his chest.

Yu Qing helped Lu Chi to sit down on the sofa and told him to get some rest.

He turned and went into the kitchen to start brewing medicine for the elderly in his family.

Soon, the room was filled with a faint smell of herbs. Yu Qing was in the kitchen, adjusting the heat from time to time. After two days of getting used to it, his movements became more and more skillful.

The elderly person was very quiet and obedient when being given medicine.

After taking the medicine, he went to sleep on his own, without yelling and shouting like he usually does.

These past few days, Yu Qing and Lu Chi have also been looking for some peace and quiet.

After giving the medicine, when I came out of the old man's room, I saw Lu Chi holding his phone and talking on the phone.

Yu Qing didn't pay any attention and took the bowl directly into the kitchen.

After Lu Chi hung up the phone, Yu Qing asked curiously, "Who called?"

"The school... took a taxi, and they asked me to do an interview the day after tomorrow," Lu Chi said.

"Does that mean you'll be on TV?" Yu Qing joked.

"I don't know." Lu Chi shook his head.

"Then I'll go with you to buy some clothes tomorrow, and get some contact lenses while we're at it. After all, we're going to be on TV, so we need to pay attention to our image," Yu Qing said seriously.

"I can go without my glasses."

"Can you see without your glasses?" Yu Qing asked curiously.

"I can see it."

"Then why do you always wear glasses?"

"I'm used to it."

Yu Qing then noticed that Lu Chi had just washed his face and his glasses were still on the balcony. He leaned over to take a closer look at him and teased, "Wow, how come I never noticed before? Our little Lu is actually so handsome."

Faced with Yu Qing's sudden teasing, Lu Chi stammered, "You...you shouldn't talk like that."
