It wasn't until the conductor came over with the dining cart that he suddenly realized what was going on.

Kong Qi was in a good mood after thinking of the answer. Besides, everyone else was catching up on sleep, and he was the only one awake in the entire carriage. He could do whatever he wanted without worrying about encountering any unlucky people or bad things, so he was in an even better mood.

You don’t even have to queue up to buy food.

Kong Qi hummed a song while buying food, ignored the puzzled look from the conductor behind him, and walked back to the compartment with brisk steps.

He had to go back quickly to eat, and then take advantage of the time when everyone was catching up on sleep to take some fresh air and relax in the corridor.

When Gu Mingjing woke up, sunlight from outside the window shone in, falling on the table beside the window, the floor, and the beds on both sides.

Pinching the sides of his nose, he raised his hand to check the time and sat up easily.

"Brother Gu, are you awake? Are you hungry? Come and eat together." Kong Qi only then noticed his movement. He raised his head from his meal and invited him.

Gu Mingjing got out of bed and put on his shoes, saying as he did so, "No need, you eat by yourself, I'm not hungry yet." He had just eaten before going to bed, so why would he want to eat again right after waking up?

Kong Qi listened to Gu Mingjing's words and did not force him. Now they were familiar with each other and he would not pretend to refuse. If he said he was not hungry, he really was not hungry.

When Gu Mingjing came back after going out, Kong Qi had already finished his meal.

"Brother Gu, have you rested well? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Kong Qi said with concern.

Gu Mingjing's expression was a little complicated, and he shook his head and said, "No, I've had a good rest."

He looked really energetic, and Kong Qi had no doubt about it. Thinking of their last conversation, he said excitedly, "Brother Gu, I know what you meant by that sentence."

"Ah?" Gu Mingjing had long forgotten the previous conversation. When he heard him mention it again, he thought about it for a while and understood what he meant, and his expression became even more complicated.

Kong Qi was completely unaware of his mistake and continued to talk to himself, "Are you trying to say that the others are not you, do not have your fighting power, and are not me, and will not trust their night watchmen as much as I trust you. So even though they took turns to keep watch, those who did not keep watch did not sleep well, which resulted in them not being in good spirits tonight. Am I right?"

After saying that, he looked at Gu Mingjing with pride, seeking approval.

Gu Mingjing was at a loss for words. What was he so proud of? And after thinking about it for so long, he was only half right. When he said "not everyone is like you," he meant that others couldn't be as carefree as you, sleeping so soundly and unshaken after such a thing. If you don't feel better, who will?

But seeing his expression, Gu Mingjing swallowed what he was about to say and agreed hesitantly: "Yes, you... are right." Forget it, let's not discourage him.

Kong Qi was instantly delighted when he received the affirmation, and he kept muttering, "I knew I was right."

Seeing him like that, Gu Mingjing felt regretful for a moment. If he had known earlier, he would have just hit him hard. It would have been much better than him being so arrogant now.

But it’s not a good time to go back on what I said before.

Thinking of the conversation he had just heard on the way back, Gu Mingjing hesitated for a moment and then started talking casually, "Nothing happened while I was sleeping, right?"

"No, it's quite peaceful." Kong Qi thought he was still worried about the "abnormal" things and said.

"That's good. There shouldn't be any strangers here." Gu Mingjing said.

Kong Qi said: "A few people passed by us, but don't worry, our luggage is all safe. I'm keeping an eye on it."

Seeing that he was gradually falling into the trap, Gu Mingjing changed the subject, "Keep staring? You're not going to stare outside all morning, are you? That's not good. It's so tiring to lie in bed all the time. Why don't you go for a walk in the corridor and get some fresh air?"

Judging from the conversation between the people next door, this should have happened while he was asleep yesterday.

He kept staring at it, and this matched the content of the conversation he heard. However, he still had to test the truth.

"How could that be? It's finally quiet outside today. How could I miss such a good opportunity? I've been staying outside the whole time. I just came in not long ago." Kong Qi said with a smile.

"Today?" Gu Mingjing grasped the key point. "You said it was quiet outside today so you went out. What about yesterday? It was not quiet outside yesterday. Could it be that you stayed inside the whole time and didn't go out?"

"Ah, this." Kong Qi didn't expect that Gu Mingjing would actually think of yesterday. Thinking of the disapproval in his words when he thought he had not gone out, he hesitated for a moment.

"So I guessed right?" Gu Mingjing raised his eyebrows.

It seemed that the people next door were talking about him. Thinking about the content of their conversation, Gu Mingjing felt very complicated.

He guessed in the morning that the so-called "perversion" must be fake, and that something must have gone wrong to cause such rumors.

But he never expected that Kong Qi was involved in this. What's worse is that this matter was completely caused by him. Although it was not his intention, he was completely unaware of it.

But it was just one person's carelessness, a few people's unintentionality, and even more people's misunderstanding. In the end, one thing led to another, forming a huge circle that trapped everyone and made everyone believe in the existence of "perversion".

After a sleepless night and a lot of tossing and turning all night, it was all in vain. Until now, I'm afraid everyone else is very confused.

Gu Mingjing, who guessed the truth based on just a few words, felt it was hard to put it into words.

How could such a thing happen?

Thinking about himself on guard the night before, he suddenly felt like a fool. He had been tricked by the people around him and the other people in the car into staying up all night. He should have asked the others at the time. He deserved to stay up all night.

Gu Mingjing complained about himself, Kong Qi, and everyone else in the carriage in his heart.

Kong Qi replied weakly, "We just got on the bus yesterday. There were so many people outside and I was worried that thieves would steal our things, so I didn't go out. Besides, it's not like I haven't been out at all. I went out once."

"So you just kept lying on the bed and staring at me until I thought you were a pervert?" Gu Mingjing said bluntly.

"Pervert? What pervert?" Kong Qi, who was very sensitive to these two words, asked in shock.

Gu Mingjing rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "What other pervert could it be? The one we were guarding against last night."

"What?" Kong Qi jumped up instantly, pointing his index finger at himself and asking in disbelief, "Brother Gu, are you saying that the pervert we were guarding against last night was me?"
