As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became more ambiguous.
On a thunderstorm night, the dim corridor, the orange light in the room, and her shyly blushing face...
Lu Zhan's dark pupils suddenly shrank for a moment, his earlobes turned visibly red, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, as if he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Should I go in or not?
Before Lu Zhan could reply, Shao Jingque realized that the invitation was too provocative and immediately asked himself a question:
"No, you're soaked. You'd better hurry back to the army, take a hot bath, and take medicine. Thank you for bringing me the medicine. Goodbye!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Zhan's reaction, she turned around and slammed the door shut. She leaned against the door guiltily, not moving at all, like a cooked shrimp that was so red it was almost smoking.
After a long while, she pricked up her ears and heard someone chuckle from behind the thin door panel.
That gentle laughter was like a breeze blowing a wind chime, startling the butterfly perched on it and causing it to flutter its wings and fly away...
Shao Jingque quickly suppressed his pounding heart and ran back to the bed in a panic. Not caring that his hair had not been completely dry yet, he pulled the quilt over and hid himself in it.
......
Whenever Shao Jingque thought about the ambiguous invitation he made to Lu Zhan that night, he couldn't help but want to beat himself to death.
When the first accident happened, she thought she was dreaming, but that night she had taken a hot bath and drank hot ginger soup, so she was perfectly lucid. How could she say such seductive words to a decent boy?!
So much so that when Shao Jingque thinks about it now, his face feels hot.
She just thought about it for a moment, and immediately felt her face getting hot again. She quickly raised her hand to pretend to fan it, and picked up the water cup to drink -
Well, it’s sweet, it’s the isatis root that Lu Zhan gave her.
Realizing that he couldn't help but think of Lu Zhan again, Shao Jingque couldn't help but wonder if he was a little abnormal.
It's already autumn, why is she already feeling amorous?!
Just as she was secretly feeling ashamed, a cool breeze suddenly blew from behind.
Shao Jingque was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood up. There was no window in this dressing room, so where did the wind come from?
She turned around in horror, and saw that it was Lin Qiao standing behind her with a fan, fanning her.
Shao Jingque felt that the original owner really owed her. Ever since she started dealing with Lin Qiao, she had been scared by her several times. Even though Shao Jingque had a good temper, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Lin Qiao, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you this already? Just work hard and don't do these things to please me. I won't do anything against you."
Lin Qiao still had a flattering smile on her face, her hands moving non-stop:
"I saw you fanning yourself just now, and I thought you were feeling hot, so I fanned you a little. I didn't have anything else to do anyway..."
Facing Lin Qiao, Shao Jingque felt as powerless as if she was punching cotton. It was impossible for her to curse at someone who was being nice to her, right?
"...Thank you, but I'm not hot, so you don't have to fan me. If there's nothing else, you can go back and rest like everyone else."
Lin Qiao shook her head, looking terrified.
"How can that be? Everyone rehearses so hard every day, and I'm the only one without a performance. I should stay and do more. I'll pack up after you all finish rehearsing before leaving."
Shao Jingque was speechless, but she could understand Lin Qiao's uneasiness to some extent.
She had previously discussed with Director Liang of the art troupe to see if some of her performance tasks could be transferred to Lin Qiao. After all, Lin Qiao had been singing in her place for the past three years, and her singing skills must be fine. However, Director Liang disagreed.
It turned out that the last performance in the 718th Unit was very successful. The head of the military region even called Captain Liang to praise Shao Jingque, which made Captain Liang very happy.
For a long time, Shao Jingque was like a time bomb in his heart. He never knew when the substitute singing would be discovered by outsiders, thus destroying the reputation of the art troupe.
Unexpectedly, in the past few years, Shao Jingque has actually become competent in this job through her own efforts, and even performed better than before. In this case, how could he agree to let someone who is not as good as her take over her job!
After Lin Qiao knew the result, she said nothing and still had her usual submissive look.
But from that day on, she was always the first one to arrive at the troupe every day to prepare for everyone, and she rushed to pack up the props after rehearsal, and was the last one to leave every day.
Everyone saw it, so their attitude towards her changed a little, and there were fewer sarcastic voices.
Shao Jingque could only comfort her and promised to find another opportunity to help her in the future.
Lin Qiao just smiled and said nothing. She probably didn't have any hope for this anymore. Instead, from that day on, she would hang around Shao Jingque whenever she had nothing to do, treating herself like a follower.
Looking at Lin Qiao with a flattering look on her face, Shao Jingque felt that she seemed to be working in the wrong direction.
It is true that Lin Qiao had been singing for the original owner behind the scenes for three years without ever going on stage, and she must have felt very aggrieved. But if you think about it from another perspective, if it weren't for the singing, Lin Qiao would have gone home three years ago.
If she didn't want to endure this grievance, she had countless opportunities to leave during these three years, but she still chose to stay.
As adults, since we have made a choice, we naturally have to accept the price that comes with it. This may sound a bit cruel, but the reality is often like this. Nothing can go as we wish.
