Shao Jingque only felt a bolt of thunder strike his head—
If she had known in advance that "Qiu Ya"'s last name was Lu, she would have been wary of this so-called brother, but she had mistakenly thought that Lu Qiuya's last name was Qiu...
For a moment, Shao Jingque was speechless.
Fortunately, with this little episode, the atmosphere between the three people eased a lot.
Shao Jingque also gradually calmed down. She observed Lu Zhan's condition calmly, trying to judge whether he had forgotten her again or was deliberately pretending not to know her in front of Lu Qiuya.
Lu Qiuya, who had been busy observing their expressions and controlling the overall situation, saw that the two of them had their heads down and were not talking during the meal. The atmosphere was very cold for a while, so she quickly adjusted the atmosphere and said:
"Eh? Sister Jingque, is this the book you've been reading recently? I like reading too. What is this book about?"
There was a square hardcover book next to Shao Jingque. Lu Qiuya thought the cover was very delicate, so she asked for fun.
When she asked, Shao Jingque remembered what he had brought for Lu Qiuya, and handed the "book" over:
"You'll know when you open it."
Seeing that she was keeping it a secret, Lu Qiuya took the "book" with some curiosity, opened it, and immediately her eyes lit up and she exclaimed:
"Oh my God! Is this... is this me? Brother, look, it's me!"
She excitedly held up the photo album in front of Lu Zhan, flipping through it while showing off excitedly:
"This is the photo shoot that Sister Jingque asked me to take yesterday! It's so beautiful!"
"Brother, look, is it beautiful?"
A hint of surprise also flashed in Lu Zhan's eyes. The girl in the photo was youthful, pure and lovely. He could recognize her as his sister at a glance, but she was indeed much more delicate and beautiful than Lu Qiuya's usual appearance.
He nodded honestly:
"Well taken, very nice."
Lu Zhan's answer surprised Shao Jingque a little.
She had always thought that Lu Zhan looked down on these flashy things, but she didn't expect to hear a word of praise from him. This made Shao Jingque, a member of the Fanghua Photo Studio, couldn't help but secretly curl up the corners of her mouth.
Lu Qiuya's eyes rolled around, and she asked with a wicked smile:
"Really? So who do you think is prettier, me in the photo or Sister Jingque next to you?"
Shao Jingque was shocked. Why was Lu Qiuya competing with her for no reason? And she had to ask about Lu Zhan...
Just when she was about to speak first and say that Lu Qiuya was pretty, Lu Zhan said without hesitation:
"The startled magpie is beautiful!"
Shao Jingque was stunned, and her pretty face turned red in an instant.
Lu Zhan...is he crazy?
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have believed that Lu Zhan would say that he thought she was pretty!
Hearing her brother's firm words, Lu Qiuya immediately responded in a strange tone and blinked at her brother——
The cooperation is good, this kid is teachable!
Lu Zhan looked at Lu Qiuya, who winked at him and nodded quietly in approval, and felt confused.
Shouldn't he have answered correctly? The key point is that this question is not difficult at all!
With Lu Qiuya mediating the meal and Lu Zhan trying to show goodwill, although things started off badly, they were finally finished without any major problems.
Lu Qiuya seized the opportunity and when Lu Zhan finished paying the bill and was about to leave, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh my! Look at my memory! I promised to bring Ning City specialties back to my classmates, how could I have forgotten!"
"Brother, please help me send Sister Jingque home. I'll finish shopping and take a tricycle back to the guesthouse!"
She finished her words in one breath, and without waiting for the two to react, she ran away in a hurry, leaving the two standing there looking at each other in confusion.
Shao Jingque was the first to react. He walked straight to the side of the road, stopped a tricycle, and got on it without saying a word to Lu Zhan.
Just as I was about to tell the rickshaw driver where to go, someone suddenly sat down next to me.
Her back tightened, and she knew without looking back that Lu Zhan had sat down.
Shao Jingque looked back at him in astonishment. Before he could ask him why he was sitting there, Lu Zhan took the initiative to explain:
"Qiuya just asked me to take you home."
He looked serious on the outside, but in his heart he was already very happy.
Thanks to Qiuya, not only did I see Shao Jingque again, but I was also able to sit down and have a meal with her calmly, and now I have the chance to send her home.
Once we send her home, we will know where she lives now, so we won’t have to worry about not being able to find her in the future, right?
Shao Jingque frowned and said indifferently:
"No need. I'll just take the bus back. There's no danger. There's no need to send me off."
Lu Zhan was very persistent:
"Who said that? What if this rickshaw driver is a bad guy?"
The rickshaw driver was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Well, it was obvious that the young man was pursuing the pretty girl. Considering that he was wearing a military uniform, he might as well bear the label of "bad guy" today!
Shao Jingque was embarrassed by Lu Zhan's words. This man had been strangely easy-going all night, but now he finally revealed his true colors.
The person who could say such embarrassing words to someone's face was the Lu Zhan she knew!
But Lu Zhan himself didn't realize it and even urged the rickshaw driver:
"Master, everyone is here, let's go!"
The rickshaw driver smiled bitterly and said:
"You haven't told me where you're going yet?"
Lu Zhan turned around and looked at Shao Jingque sincerely, which made her feel uneasy. She didn't want to get entangled with him anymore and just wanted to go home quickly:
"Master, go to No. 1 Wuhuai Street."
Lu Zhan silently memorized the address and repeated it several times in his mind along the way, fearing that he would forget it again.
The rickshaw driver pedaled very fast. Lu Zhan looked a little unhappy. No one was in a hurry, so why was he riding so fast?!
The cold night wind blew on Shao Jingque, making her shrink her neck and clench her fists.
Suddenly, a military coat that still carried body temperature was draped over her shoulders, surrounding her like a warm embrace.
Shao Jingque turned around in surprise, only to see Lu Zhan looking ahead unnaturally:
"I'm wearing too much and it's a bit hot!"
She frowned and looked at what Lu Zhan was wearing: a long-sleeved shirt and a woolen vest. How could he say that he was wearing too much in the cold winter weather?
But at this moment, there was indeed a fine line of sweat on his forehead, and he really looked like he was a little hot.
Shao Jingque moved her lips, and for a moment she suddenly wanted to ask the question in her heart, but no matter how she thought about it, it seemed like she had found another reason to pester Lu Zhan.
After some hesitation, the tricycle finally stopped steadily at the gate of No. 1 Wuhuai Street.
The two got out of the car. Shao Jingque suppressed the impulse in his heart and did not ask the question in the end. He just nodded at him politely and took out the key to open the door and go in.
Seeing this, Lu Zhan plucked up the courage to step forward and prepare to invite Shao Jingque to meet again.
Suddenly, an extremely dazzling car light came on beside the wall, blinding both of them and causing them to raise their hands to cover their eyes.
There was only the sound of a car door closing, and a male voice with obvious displeasure came from the direction of the car lights:
"What time is it? Why are you back so late?"
