Chapter 395: Sleeping on the Floor

Qin Huiyin leaned close to Song Ruize and whispered in his ear: "Brother, go to bed."

Song Ruize opened his eyes and looked at her confusedly: "Yinyin, you are..."

At this moment, he put away all his edge, like an insecure little animal, desperately wanting to find someone to accompany him.

"I've been here."

Song Ruize took her hand and put it on his face: "You can't leave."

Qin Huiyin swallowed.

Oh my god, this is so rua.

"I'm not leaving." Qin Huiyin pushed him. "But it's uncomfortable to sleep here, go to bed."

Song Ruize opened his eyes.

Qin Huiyin pulled him, and he obediently let her pull him, and then got on the bed.

After he lay down, Qin Huiyin covered him with a blanket.

She was about to leave, but he held her hand.

"I'm not leaving. I'm going to find a quilt." Qin Huiyin said.

Only then did Song Ruize let her go.

Qin Huiyin searched the room, found a replacement mat and quilt, and then made a bed on the floor.

The weather is still very warm now. There is a straw mat on the ground and a quilt on top of it. It is just the right temperature for a good sleep.

"Miss..." Zhilan knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Qin Huiyin was sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt. When she heard Zhilan's voice, she covered her head with the quilt. She suddenly remembered something, opened her eyes and sat up, and saw herself lying on the bed.

She looked at the ground and saw no one, no mat or quilt. It was obvious that Song Ruize had put those things away after he carried her to bed.

"What's wrong?" She stretched.

"The masters of Ling'an Temple wanted to invite Master Zhu and his friends to come down the mountain. Miss Zhu got really angry and even said she was willing to donate more money, but the masters still disagreed. Miss Zhu said she wanted to invite you to see the waterfall. After you enjoy the waterfall in the morning and the beautiful scenery in the mountains, they will return to Beijing in the afternoon."

"Okay, you go and reply first and tell them that I just got up and will come over after having vegetarian food." Qin Huiyin got out of bed.

They were finally going down the mountain.

They had said before that the mother and daughter would stay in the mountains for half a month. Now only seven days had passed. If they had to find ways to avoid them for the remaining eight days, life would be unbearable.

Qin Huiyin ate the vegetarian meal and went to keep the appointment.

Zhu Hongxiu's face looked very unhappy.

Gong Qianyue was normal. When she saw her, she stepped forward, took her hand and said, "The rules and regulations in this temple are really complicated. If you are not careful, you will break the taboos. We have to go down the mountain first. Sister has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. When you come back, we will prepare a banquet to replenish you."

"I heard about it." Qin Huiyin patted her knees and said pitifully, "I feel like these two legs are not my own, but this time it's for my father who passed away early. As a daughter, I must fulfill my filial duty. Please don't be offended if I neglected my sisters in the past few days. With my personality, my heart has already flown with you."

"It's not easy for you either." Zhu Hongxiu's expression softened. "Then we'll wait for you at home."

Zhu Jingxuan's eyes were full of stubbornness. "I didn't do it. I don't know how that thing got into my room. I thought about it. That day, a little monk was sneaking around in my room, as if he wanted to steal my things. I scolded him, but he didn't admit it. He must have been holding a grudge and deliberately harming me."

"Brother, why didn't you tell us just now? We caught that little monk and cleared your name." Zhu Hongxiu said angrily.

"We have already decided to go down the mountain, so let's not talk about this anymore." Gong Qianyue advised, "Sister Qin will have to stay for a few more days. If we make a big fuss about this, and those monks know that we know Sister Qin, what if they deliberately make things difficult for her?"

"They dare..." Zhu Hongxiu said this, but did not make any more noise or make a fuss.

Zhu Jingxuan looked at Qin Huiyin with burning eyes: "Miss Qin, do you believe me?"

Qin Huiyin: "...Of course I believe it. Mr. Zhu is so elegant, and I can tell from your calligraphy and paintings that you are not such a rude person. If you want to check, I can help you."

"No need. Miss Gong is right. If this matter gets out of hand, you and your mother will have a hard time these few days. But you must be careful with the people here. After all, if one thing goes wrong, another thing will come wrong. Be careful not to get wronged."

"Okay, I understand." Qin Huiyin said, "I heard there is a beautiful waterfall on this mountain. Let's go now! I have to continue chanting in the afternoon, so I can't take you there."

In the morning, Qin Huiyin helped them climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery, catching and grilling fish in the forest. Gong Qianyue and Zhu Hongxiu clearly wanted Zhu Jingxuan to show off himself, so he was the one who caught and grilled the fish.

Qin Huiyin knew this tacitly and gave him enough opportunities to show his ability. Of course, there must be emotional value. She would praise his ability generously and add: He can do it too.

Yes! Her lover who was somewhere unknown had to learn it too, otherwise he would continue to show off and think that she was interested in him. Wouldn't it be even harder to get rid of him?

She would say something from time to time, pouring a bucket of cold water on him when he was happiest, gradually cooling his heart. After a long time, he might find it boring and give up.

"Miss Qin, who is the person you like? Can you introduce him to her?" Zhu Jingxuan grabbed the branch in his hand, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Does Miss Qin like him so much? That person can't be seen or touched, but she always mentions him in everything she does, as if he is always in her heart.

No matter how cold his temper was, he was burning with the flame of jealousy at this moment. The fire devoured his heart, as if he was being roasted on a fire, causing him endless pain.

"Mr. Zhu, I'm really not your match, why do you do this?" Qin Huiyin shifted her gaze somewhat uncomfortably. "The beautiful scenery in this mountain is indeed refreshing."

Gong Qianyue and Zhu Hongxiu walked far away, deliberately leaving space for the two of them, just to let Zhu Jingxuan perform in front of her. Fortunately, they were not there, otherwise the excuses he made up would be easily exposed.

"It's getting late. I have to go back." Qin Huiyin stood up. "Then I won't see you off. Take care."

Zhilan came over with the grilled fish in her hand: "Miss, this is grilled by me."

Qin Huiyin took it and urged, "Hurry up and go."

Zhilan looked back at Zhu Jingxuan and caught up with Qin Huiyin.

Zhu Hongxiu and Gong Qianyue came back and saw that Qin Huiyin and his servant were gone. They asked, "How did the talk go?"

"She has a lover." Zhu Jingxuan said bitterly, "She said there is no possibility for me."

"Does she have a lover?" Zhu Hongxiu looked at Gong Qianyue.

Gong Qianyue looked innocent: "I don't know either!"

"Let's go back and check who her lover is." Zhu Hongxiu said, "Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. We must know how much chance we have of winning, right?"
