Chapter 61 Sleep
He Qiu's actions almost made Fu Yuling unable to control her emotions, but fortunately, she managed to control herself in time at the last second before the situation was exposed.
"How could I cry? I didn't cry. You were the one crying."
Fu Yuling didn't cry, but the area around her eyes was red, and she looked very aggrieved.
He Qiu didn't even cry. The only thing that made him panic was Fu Yuling's look.
"Yeah, I cried."
He Qiu cooperated with her very well and quickly wiped away the non-existent tears on his face.
Fu Yuling's mood improved a little, he burst into laughter, and returned to his previous state.
"Xiao Qiu is so smooth-talking."
"will not."
He just followed the example.
Fu Yuling could probably guess it, after all, children's learning ability is really good.
"Did He Jingxue hit you?"
Her tone suddenly changed, no longer as frivolous as before, and her clear voice became a little hoarse because of her emotions.
"……Um."
It was a very long time later, so long that Fu Yuling thought time and space had frozen, before He Qiu responded.
"Come back with me...?"
In the end, she still wanted to respect his opinion.
He Qiu pretended to be strong and shook his head firmly.
"No."
Why?
This was exactly what Fu Yuling wanted to say.
But even though she suppressed him forcefully, He Qiu was still wary; he did not trust her.
Because he was afraid that after he returned home, she would abandon them again, and He Jingxue would definitely not want him anymore. If that was really the case, He Qiu was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of He Xuan and the others.
This is also the reason why Fu Yuling feels sorry for them one by one. They are so sensible, each one is more sensible than the other.
"Why did she hit you?"
After changing the subject, He Qiu was obviously much more relaxed.
“I didn’t do well in the exam.”
His eyes flickered as he slowly listed a few achievements.
"Chinese 100, Mathematics 99..."
As he spoke, he subtly observed her attitude.
Fu Yuling did not notice this.
She gave He Qiu a soft kiss on the cheek, "Great! This is a reward."
Fu Yuling thought she would see the same reaction as He Wen, but He Qiu's cute face showed a complicated expression, and she didn't show any shyness.
This made Fu Yuling feel a little frustrated. Could it be that this trick didn't work?
"You don't like it?"
When asked directly, He Qiu nodded, indicating that he liked it.
Well, Fu Yuling had figured it out. This kid knew how to make her happy, and he would approve of things that made her unhappy.
She had let this incident go on the surface, but she had kept a secret in her heart. And she didn't want this secret to be revealed again one day.
"Xiao Qiu, you need to explain what's going on with Li Cuihua now."
The change of topic made He Qiu's body straighten and his eyes unconsciously dim for a moment.
"I have no idea."
He explained hurriedly.
Fu Yuling did not force her, but spoke slowly, "Xiao Qiu, Li Cuihua almost died!"
"I...I didn't want her to die..."
A crack appeared on his tough surface.
"But what you did put her in danger of death."
"I didn't sprinkle a lot, just a little bit..."
Seeing that he was about to cry, Fu Yuling let go of her tough attitude, reached out to hug him, gently stroked his back, and gave him comfort and support.
"Xiao Qiu, I know you want to take revenge on the bad guys who bullied He Wen, but have you ever thought that once someone dies, they will soon find out about you. What will you do then?"
She taught people that she preferred to do things quietly and would not kill anyone, but at most make them suffer a little. Therefore, even if you want to do something "bad", you have to do it secretly without anyone noticing and without leaving any trace.
