Chapter 43: The truth will eventually come to light
Shi Huai fell asleep after drinking the water, and didn't open his eyes until around eight in the morning. Zhou Jibai, who had slept next to him last night, had disappeared long ago.
After regaining consciousness, Shi Huai felt a sticky sensation all over his body, as if he had been licked by something. His fingertips, the spaces between his fingers, his arms, waist, legs, ankles…even his toes felt a bit of that discomfort.
Shi Huai's cheeks flushed slightly, and she was very puzzled. Was it so hot in the yacht cabin at night? Was it so hot that she was sweating all over?
Shi Huai didn't doubt or think too much about it. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After showering and leaving the cabin, I heard the bickering between Ling Qingyu and He Yunxun in the dining room. But it was mostly He Yunxun's one-sided exchanges, with Ling Qingyu occasionally retorting with laughter.
"Ling Qingyu, why don't you want to be a good person and become a dog?"
Ling Qingyu: "We are good brothers, I can't be the only one to be embarrassed, right?"
He Yunxun wanted to press Ling Qingyu's face directly into the plate in front of him, "Get lost, who wants to be your brother? I don't have a brother like you!"
Walking into the restaurant, Shi Huai saw He Yunxun locking his arms around Ling Qingyu's neck, as if he wanted to strangle her to death.
The two of them were making such a big noise that it was hard not to notice.
Zhou Jibai sat across from him, slowly and leisurely eating his Western-style breakfast. His posture was elegant and refined, and when he was silent, he looked like a noble and refined gentleman.
When He Yunxun woke up in the morning, he received over 99 WeChat messages, all of which were mocking him. He clicked on them and saw that Ling Qingyu had actually posted the photo Zhou Jibai had taken of him in a bikini to the friend group.
"You might as well spend Tuesday with Ling Qingyu."
Seeing He Yunxun's arms loosen slightly, Ling Qingyu took the opportunity to escape and sit next to Zhou Jibai. He spoke in a flattering and servile tone, "Brother Zhou Er is treating everyone equally. It would be boring for him to only take advantage of me."
Last night, Ling Qingyu took a risk and was exposed in a bikini in front of everyone. After the game, she felt more and more uncomfortable, so she sent a message to Zhou Jibai asking for the photo of He Yunxun wearing a bikini.
At first, Ling Qingyu didn't have much hope. After all, he had been asking for these shameful photos since his mother was a teenager until she was almost 30, but he still couldn't get them.
Hey! Last night, for some reason, Zhou Jibai actually sent the photo to himself.
Ling Qingyu was so happy that he was excited the whole night.
The corners of He Yunxun's mouth twitched twice. Looking at Ling Qingyu's smug look, he gouged out his eyes at Zhou Jibai in annoyance.
"You might as well just lock yourself up with Ling Qingyu. You two are true love."
Zhou Jibai glanced at Ling Qingyu and said, "Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility."
"Damn, this joke is not over yet, is it?" Ling Qingyu's smile suddenly turned gloomy. These past few days, the word "dog" seemed to be haunting him.
He Yunxun couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahaha——"
When Shi Huai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A laughter as sweet as a bell fell into Zhou Jibai's ears.
But Shi Huai didn't plan to have breakfast with Zhou Jibai and the others. He pursed his lips, thinking that no one would notice him, and prepared to pretend to be invisible and eat breakfast alone at a table far away from them.
Zhou Jibai turned around, raised his eyes to look at Shi Huai who was walking in the opposite direction of his table, and said in a low voice: "Come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Qingyu and He Yunxun followed Zhou Jibai's line of sight and saw Shi Huai. The two of them waved at Shi Huai with a playful smile like two idiots on a sled.
"Sister-in-law, here it is."
Shi Huai: ...was discovered.
It seems like I can only move on.
Shi Huai's lips curled up, his smile was not very natural, and faint dimples appeared on his cheeks.
After returning to the cabin with Zhou Jibai last night, Shi Huai felt the sharp and violent aura vaguely revealed in Zhou Jibai. This ancestor was angry again.
He didn't even say a word to her. She wanted to start a conversation with him and ask about her grandmother, but as soon as she opened her mouth to make a sound, he ignored her coldly.
After waking up, the person disappeared.
Ling Qingyu took the initiative to give up his seat and sat back next to He Yunxun, while Shi Huai sat next to Zhou Jibai.
When the waiter saw Shi Huai sitting down, he tactfully brought her a nutritionally balanced breakfast that did not include any foods that pregnant women should avoid.
While they were chatting, Shi Huai sat quietly in his seat, eating his lukewarm breakfast.
As they chatted, Zhou Jibai took the initiative to speak and mentioned the word "Shang Jue".
"Where's the business secret?"
Shang Jue's name fell into Shi Huai's ears, and the hand holding the knife and fork paused slightly, but quickly returned to its usual obedience.
Ling Qingyu shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, maybe he's still asleep? This guy drank quite a bit of wine after you and sister-in-law returned to the cabin yesterday."
"Is it because you asked Shang Jue, the old-fashioned guy, to dance a striptease with the young model, and Shang Jue is too shy to come out and see us?" He Yunxun chuckled.
Ling Qingyu retorted: "Impossible, Shang Jue playing with us, what good can he be?"
When mentioning Shang Jue's passionate dance with the young model yesterday, Shi Huai inexplicably remembered what Zhou Jibai said in his ear, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.
What would it look like when Zhou Jibai dances with his waist twisting?
It must be very sexy.
Zhou Jibai noticed every subtle movement of Shi Huai. He looked at the person beside him with a faint blush on his cheeks, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lazily, "Drinking to drown your sorrows. There's someone in your heart you want to forget."
"Has Shang Jue ever been in love?" Ling Qingyu asked in his soul.
Shi Huai lowered his head lower and lower while eating, chewing very slowly, not daring to make any sound.
Zhou Jibai leaned down slightly and looked at Shi Huai, "Is it possible that Shang Jue has never been in love?"
The sharp gaze fell on Shi Huai's head, and Shi Huai's scalp tingled. If he lowered his head again, his face would be buried in the salad plate in front of him.
"Wife, what do you think?" Zhou Jibai calmly threw the issue they were discussing to Shi Huai.
Shi Huai felt very uncomfortable, an awkward smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I'm already twenty-four or twenty-five years old, how could I not have been in a relationship?"
"Do you know him well?" Zhou Jibai took advantage of the opportunity and obviously did not intend to let Shi Huai have an easy time.
Shi Huai: “…”
She was really sweating profusely.
Zhou Jibai must have discovered something!
He must have heard the conversation between Shang Jue and himself last night and guessed something!
Shi Huai took a deep breath and looked into Zhou Jibai's eyes. "Didn't you know yesterday? Shang Jue and I met in Guangnan..."
His face was full of guilty conscience and full of flaws.
Shi Huai is still so easy to understand.
Ling Qingyu and He Yunxun looked puzzled, noticing that something was subtly wrong in the atmosphere.
This week, Master Zhou was clearly jealous.
Could it be that Shang Jue's enchanting dance yesterday had captivated his sister-in-law? Was that why Zhou Jibai was so disgruntled?
"Tsk tsk tsk, are you envious of Shang Jue's dancing skills and afraid that he will draw your attention away?"
"Tuesday, if you're jealous, just say it."
Zhou Jibai leaned lazily against the sofa and glanced at the idiot opposite him. His arrogant eyes seemed to say, "You two are the only ones who have big mouths."
"Let's eat." Shi Huai looked away, not daring to look at him again.
Then Zhou Jibai said in a tone that brooked no argument: "Shang Jue has no male ethics. He can dance intimately with others in public. How can he be a good person? Stay away from him."
Shi Huai didn't look at him, and responded softly in an attempt to make the ancestor a little happier: "...I know."
Ling Qingyu and He Yunxun laughed heartily.
Shi Huai felt extremely uneasy while eating this meal. After all, the truth would eventually come out, so she decided to admit it to Zhou Jibai today.
This saved him from having to stare at himself with the sharp eyes of a cold-blooded snake. The main thing was that the snake's fangs were venomous, and he felt that he would either be poisoned to death or scared to death by him in the next second.
