Chapter 117: I'm really emotional about the script killing. If you kiss me, I won't...
"What, Shen Qianshu is back."
On the sofa in the living room, the man's loud voice suddenly drowned out the jokes on the variety show on TV.
Luo Shu jumped in surprise, the eyeshadow palette in her hand shaking. She straightened Fang Qingzhuo's face and continued applying eyeliner. "Yeah, we're planning to go camping together later. I said I brought gifts for everyone."
"What? He's going to ask you out."
"Why are you so startled?" Luo Shu frowned at the extra eyeliner at the end of his eye. "The eyeliner is all crooked."
Fang Qingzhuo pouted: "So, you used me to practice your smoky makeup just to show Shen Qianshu?"
Luo Shu refused to take the blame: "It won't be just him later."
"Then who else?" Fang Qingzhuo just felt a headache.
Luo Shu thought for a moment: "Uh, Xiaowen and Fu Ze are on a business trip. They should be his friends. I'm not sure about the details."
Fang Qingzhuo dared to guarantee that this must be a poor cover-up by Shen Qianshu, so he lowered his eyebrows and pretended to be pitiful: "We finally have the same day off, can you please not go? He must have bad intentions."
"Oh, I already promised them."
"Then I want to go too."
"You weren't invited, so don't make things difficult for yourself."
"If I don't keep an eye on him, what if he does something bad to you?"
"Have I been pampering you too much lately?"
Fang Qingzhuo slowly approached, intending to use his charm, but Luo Shu coldly ordered him, "Don't move. Let me wipe it for you."
As she spoke, she rubbed it with her hands, but it didn't come off. So she simply held his head in her arms and rubbed it hard.
The skin around the eyes was fragile, and Fang Qingzhuo kept complaining in pain.
"Man, could you please stop yelling so unpleasantly? I'm already annoyed during my period."
"I'm sorry." Fang Qingzhuo was in pain but couldn't speak. "Then be gentler."
The corner of her eye turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Luo Shu felt wronged and let go of her hand angrily: "Okay, stop whining."
Glancing at the tight time, he hurriedly explained, "I'm running out of time. I have to go back to my room to change clothes. Remember to wash yourself with water."
When she left, Fang Qingzhuo wanted to cry but had no tears. He lay down on the sofa and sighed to the sky: "Why did this person come back so suddenly?"
The sun is still shining in January, and a gentle breeze blows through the campsite at the foot of the mountain. I wonder if it is the recent rise in camping trends that has attracted a large number of young people to check in.
Shen Qianshu quickly set up the tent and swiftly moved the barbecue grill and ingredients out of the trunk one by one.
Luo Shu sat under the tent, holding up half of her face as she watched him busying around: "You really don't need my help?"
"No need." Shen Qianshu said firmly, "Just sit down and rest."
Luo Shu keenly noticed that he was different: "I feel like you have changed a lot since you came back this time."
Shen Qianshu raised his eyebrows, nodded in agreement, and then pointed to the gift bag in the trunk: "Xiao Wen and the others can't come, you take these gifts back and share them with everyone."
Luo Shu came forward curiously: "What did you buy?"
Shen Qianshu walked around to the driver's seat and took out another exquisite bag: This is yours, you are different from theirs.
Luo Shu took over and joked: "Aren't you afraid of being accused of favoritism?"
"You are different from others in my place." Shen Qianshu was a wise man and did not mince words.
Seeing him so frank, Luo Shu also accepted it readily: "Thank you, good friend."
Shen Qianshu curled up the corners of his mouth: "You're still polite to me."
As they were talking, Gu Qin arrived late. He saw Shen Qianshu standing at the rear of the car from afar: "Qianshu, this is the farewell party you organized for me, in the wilderness, with..."
His joking voice suddenly stopped when he saw the person behind Shen Qianshu, and he froze in his place.
Shen Qianshu pointed at his good brother who had no future: "Let me introduce you to my friend Gu Qin."
The lights in the bar were dim that night, and since it had been so long, Luo Shu had already forgotten about Gu Qin. When she heard that he was Shen Qianshu's friend, she happily greeted him, "Hello."
Gu Qin subconsciously straightened his clothes, buttoning them all the way to the top. Only after he was dressed properly did he respond to her greeting: "Hello."
Although he had given up on that idea a long time ago, he was really unwilling to accept it at this moment.
As one of the insiders, how could Shen Qianshu not see his little thoughts: "Knowing that you are going abroad, I specially chose this place to prevent you from being homesick in the future."
Gu Qin's little flame was instantly extinguished by the bucket of cold water. He gritted his teeth and said, "How about we go together? I miss you more."
Shen Qianshu declined politely: "No, I'm just reminding you."
While they were bickering, Luo Shu caught a glimpse of a man in a baseball cap hiding behind a tree not far away, observing them stealthily.
The figure was so familiar that even in full armor, it was easy to recognize.
"I'm going to take a walk by the stream and take a couple of photos for Xiaowen and the others." Luo Shu made up an excuse and ran straight towards the figure. The man obviously noticed her intention and quickened his pace to escape towards the stream.
"Stop right there!" Luo Shu was having trouble chasing after him, so she just shouted at the figure.
The man paused, but did not turn around immediately.
Luo Shu rushed forward and grabbed the man's sleeve, demanding an explanation: "Fang Qingzhuo, why are you here? Did you follow me all the way here?"
"You've got the wrong guy." The man lowered the brim of his hat and dodged, "I don't know Fang Zhuo."
Luo Shu grabbed his wrist tightly: "You are still pretending..."
Just as the two were pulling each other, a clear male voice suddenly interrupted: "Luo Shu, it's really you, I thought I was seeing things."
Luo Shu turned around following the sound and unexpectedly saw Duan Ran, whom she hadn't seen for many years, standing five meters away. He was wearing a simple black shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and holding two bottles of mineral water in his hands. It was obvious that he was also camping here.
"Duan Ran?" Luo Shu let go of her hand. "You're back home?"
"I just got back." Duan Ran pursed his lips and smiled slightly. He took two steps forward, his curious eyes lingering on the third person at the scene for a moment. "Is this person your friend?"
The word "friend" successfully made Fang Qingzhuo's temper explode. He took off his hat angrily and turned around. Then he shook Luo Shu's hand and said to Duan Ran word by word: "Long time no see, old classmate."
"Fang Qingzhuo." Duan Ran was a little surprised, and his brows subconsciously frowned with a bit of gloom.
His eyes darted between the two of them, as if he couldn't believe that the two people in front of him were still in the same frame. "You, are still together?"
"Yeah, do you have any objections?" Fang Qingzhuo looked up proudly.
"Didn't you break up after graduation?"
Fang Qingzhuo resisted the urge to roll his eyes and asked, "Don't tell me you can't speak Chinese after going abroad?"
"you……"
"What are you talking about? You can't even speak clearly."
Duan Ran was furious: "You really haven't changed at all."
After a victory in the first battle, Fang Qingzhuo was extremely proud. He instinctively looked at Luo Shu beside him, but was met with a gloomy face. A trace of embarrassment flashed in his black pupils, and then he calmed down and said, "I was just passing by."
Luo Shu didn't want to pay attention to him and quickly shook off her arm.
At this time, Shen Qianshu, who was worried about Luo Shu going out alone, came to look for her: "Luo Shu, the meat is roasted, come quickly..."
The moment he stopped, all his remaining words were cut off in his throat.
At the same time, the stream was surprisingly quiet, and you could even hear the sound of small fish playing.
Two minutes later, Gu Qin took out the first plate of carefully grilled meat and vegetable delicacies. Hearing footsteps, he immediately looked up and offered his courtesy: "I grilled this especially for you..."
The owner of the footsteps was not the person he imagined, but a young man wearing a black baseball cap, estimated to be over 1.85 meters tall. He wore an ordinary dark gray long T-shirt and camouflage overalls, but his shoes were not ordinary at all. They were limited edition co-branded shoes. His exposed slender neck showed that his head and shoulders had a good proportion. Even his walking posture with his hands in his pockets looked very familiar.
When passing by, Fang Qingzhuo took the roasted meat from him and sat down opposite him. Under Gu Qin's "Who are you?", he slowly opened his black eyes and said, "Thank you."
Without giving Gu Qin any chance to react, another man in a shirt came towards him, then Luo Shu, and finally the lifeless Shen Qianshu.
Fang Qingzhuo, even if he turned to ash, I would recognize him, but who were the other people? Why were they here too?
Shen Qianshu, who was standing beside him, also had the same doubts after he sat down.
Feeling the strange looks he was attracting, Duan Ran openly explained the reason for his uninvited visit: "The three of us are from the same school."
He looked at Luo Shu and said, "I have pursued Luo Shu before."
Then he turned to Fang Qingzhuo, "As for him, we're not familiar with each other, but we have a grudge against each other."
Just a few words made his position clear.
Fang Qingzhuo shrugged indifferently, and then he fed the barbecue in his hand to Luo Shu beside him: "I've blown it cold, you try it."
On this side, Gu Qin watched helplessly as the food he had fried himself was used as a pretext by Fang Qingzhuo, and his face immediately showed indignation.
Shen Qianshu had long been fed up with this lingering outlaw, and the hatred in his eyes was not concealed at all.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The two brothers were certain that they shared the same hatred and enemies. They exchanged glances with Duan Ran in tacit understanding and extended an olive branch. With just one glance, the three of them formed the Avengers Alliance.
Fang Qingzhuo opened a bottle of mineral water and took the opportunity to drink some water to secretly observe the group of people flirting with each other under his nose. He had made too many enemies and they actually bumped into each other.
The sun gradually set. Looking around at the four men playing mahjong at a table, Luo Shu could vaguely smell the smell of gunpowder in the air.
After eating and drinking, everyone had their own plans. Gu Qin burped and received a hint from his teammates. He cleared his throat and suggested, "It's still a while before dark. How about playing a script-killing game before going back?"
Shen Qianshu and Duan Ran both agreed, and Luo Shu, not wanting to spoil the fun, nodded in agreement.
Now, Fang Qingzhuo was the only one who had not expressed his opinion yet. His eyes wandered sinisterly among these people, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Why, someone doesn't dare to play?" Shen Qianshu lightly provoked, "Then the four of us will play."
Duan Ran cooperated and said, "I just happened to have a collection of four-player books that don't require DM, and they're also emotional books."
"Who said I don't want to play anymore?" Although he knew there was a trap, Fang Qingzhuo still took the bait.
Gu Qin has strong execution ability and quickly set up the room and invited everyone to join.
After dividing the role cards, Luo Shu looked at the tense and cheating scene in front of her with some embarrassment.
Fang Qingzhuo went on strike due to unfair role allocation, and the trio criticized him for having no sense of contract.
"There's something fishy going on." Fang Qingzhuo was so excited that the folding chair creaked, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction. "Why can Shen Qianshu play Luo Shu's fiancé, while I can only play a passerby?"
Shen Qianshu slowly brushed off the charcoal dust on his jacket: "The system automatically sorted it out, if you want to blame it, just blame your bad luck."
"That's right, if you're afraid of losing, don't play." Gu Qin fanned the flames.
Duan Ran also snorted coldly: "That's it, and you still want to open a game company."
"Don't talk nonsense." Fang Qingzhuo angrily pointed at the two accomplices, "It was a coincidence that Shen Qianshu got the good role, but it was also a coincidence that you two got the ID cards of your ex-boyfriend and childhood sweetheart respectively? I think you two colluded."
Duan Ran spread his hands and said, "It's just a game, you take it seriously."
Fang Qingzhuo felt that his internal organs were aching with anger because of this group of robbers who broke into his house. How could he not take it seriously? In the script, Luo Shu kept calling Shen Qianshu "husband" left and right, but he himself didn't even receive such treatment.
The arguing attracted onlookers from all around. Luo Shu shrank into her collar in embarrassment. She had never expected that a simple script-killing game would turn into a war of words.
The noise continued, as did the pointing and gossip around.
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Luo Shu slammed the table in anger: "Stop arguing, finish this game quickly and go home."
After hearing her words, the four of them immediately quieted down, like adolescent boys who had done something wrong, but their expressions showed that they were determined not to admit defeat.
In the first round of reasoning, Fang Qingzhuo, blinded by jealousy, showed an amazing ability to frame others, biting anyone he could find.
"I'm absolutely certain that the murderer is my fiancé." Fang Qingzhuo raised his voice, jabbing his finger at the evidence he found on the screen. "He's been trying to cover up everything, which shows that he's guilty and wants to kill for money."
Shen Qianshu sneered: "Some people are the most suspicious themselves, so they will take the initiative."
He calmly moved his camping chair half an inch closer to Luo Shu. "Wife, what do you think?"
The word "wife" successfully ignited the rage in Fang Qingzhuo's heart, which shot up to his head. If Luo Shu hadn't been watching him, he would have nearly flipped the table. Under extreme forbearance, his cheeks were distorted. "How could a passerby like me be suspected of anything? But you, shut up and don't take advantage of Luo Shu."
Luo Shu was close and could clearly notice that Fang Qingzhuo was shaking violently. She couldn't bear to see him get angry and hurt himself, so she secretly reached out and placed her hand on the back of his hand on his knee to comfort him. After he calmed down, she actively and objectively analyzed the clues she had found, trying to get the situation back on track. However, she found that the four people in front of her were absent-minded and didn't care about the story line at all. Gu Qin was glaring at Fang Qingzhuo, Duan Ran was busy throwing all the burnt ingredients in front of Fang Qingzhuo, and Fang Qingzhuo quietly stepped on the hem of Shen Qianshu's jacket with the tip of his shoe.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the first round of voting. The scene was in chaos. Fang Qingzhuo was eliminated after receiving three votes in a row. He hung his head and laughed angrily. In his more than 20 years of life, he had never lost so cowardly while playing games. His dissatisfaction reached its peak at that moment, and he rolled up his sleeves to engage in a debate with the crowd.
"Wow, you still refuse to admit that you are in collusion. Pah, you despicable villain, you can't stand losing so you resort to underhanded tactics."
"When it comes to meanness, we can never compare to you!"
"That's right, if you can't win, you throw mud at me. You know, that's your usual style."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, anxious."
Luo Shu wanted to give some advice, but found that she couldn't get a word in. It was a noise that she couldn't ignore even if she blocked her ears.
"Enough!" She stood up suddenly, her long hair drawing an arc in the air. "It's just a game. If I had known you were going to do this, I would have volunteered to be the murderer and silence you all!"
These words made the four men stunned at the same time, and the temperature around them dropped sharply.
After a brief silence, Fang Qingzhuo cautiously tugged at her sleeve: "Do you still want to play?"
"Play shit, go home."
In the bedroom at night, Luo Shu went over tomorrow's work schedule. After confirming everything was correct, she turned on her phone's sleep mode and threw it next to her pillow: "Turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Fang Qingzhuo didn't move. He was always unyielding even when he was right, especially when he was wrong. "Today, I'm jealous."
"That's your business." Luo Shu untied her hair tie as if nothing had happened, shook her long hair and lay down.
"You bully me too." Fang Qingzhuo accused in a low voice.
"I bullied you?" Luo Shu said lightly, "Didn't you do this for me voluntarily?"
After begging for mercy to no avail, Fang Qingzhuo was truly heartbroken this time. He crawled under the quilt with his back to her and said, "I'm feeling emotional."
After waiting for two minutes, he still didn't hear anything. He couldn't hold it any longer and threw off the quilt and sat up, looking down at her with a sullen face, "I'm really upset. If you kiss me, I won't be angry anymore."
"Then you should go out and sleep on the sofa tonight and calm down."
There were no stairs to go down, so Fang Qingzhuo got out of bed decisively and walked quickly to the door. He regretted it as soon as he touched the door handle. Remembering that Luo Shu was still on her period, he pressed the light switch, climbed onto the bed in the dark, hugged her from behind, and put his palms against her belly.
"Calm down?" she asked.
Fang Qingzhuo said without hesitation: "Well, if you are thirsty and need hot water in the middle of the night, call me."
