Chapter 212 But that night a few years ago, why did you kiss me secretly?
As soon as Lin Zhi said this.
Not only Qu Qingluo, but even Pu Chuman was confused.
When did she become Lin Zhi’s girlfriend?
Only Lin Yan, who was standing by, saw it most clearly.
He knew what his brother was thinking.
Qu Qingluo stood quietly, looking at the bright and beautiful woman beside Lin Zhi. His gaze continued to move and fell on the hand on Pu Chuman's shoulder.
It turns out... Lin Zhi refused to go home and stayed in Lantai because he had a girlfriend.
She looked away, her heart sinking...
She couldn't even call her "sister-in-law".
But her quiet and introverted personality made her afraid to even question him.
"You... are Luoluo, right?" Park Chuman's eyes fell on the pure and slender girl in a white dress in front of her. She smiled kindly at her and stretched out her hand.
"I know you, you are Ah Zhi's sister. Hello, you can call me Sister Chu Man."
Qu Qingluo looked at the hand that was extended to her, and the string of Bodhi beads wrapped around her wrist burned her eyes.
Isn't that the string of beads that Lin Zhi often wears on his hand...
"Luoluo?"
My thoughts were brought back by Park Cho-man's voice.
She stiffly extended her hand, gently shook it, and quickly withdrew it: "Hello, I'm Qu Qingluo..."
Park Chuman: "Luoluo, your name is really nice. Since you're in Lantai, why not stay a few more days? If you have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll take you for a walk."
"Thank you, but no thanks." Qu Qingluo lowered her head, her eyes dull, her long hair hanging down, and no one could see the redness in her eyes.
"Okay." Lin Zhi finally spoke, looking at Park Chuman, his voice softened a bit: "Chuman, I'm fine, you go back first, I'll come to see you another day."
Pu Chuman couldn't help but glance at Luoluo, then nodded and hugged Lin Zhi in front of her: "Okay. Ah Zhi, miss me."
Lin Zhi pushed her away: "Yeah."
…
After they returned to the villa, Lin Zhi received a call from his subordinates.
It was said that they failed to catch up with Qin Yuan, and suddenly two cars appeared on the road to cover Qin Yuan.
They lost track.
After Lin Zhi hung up the phone, he and Xing Yu went outside the villa to explain the situation.
Discussing what to do next.
Qu Qingluo followed Lin Zhi with her eyes, and only withdrew her gaze in disappointment when she saw his figure disappear.
Then he looked around the spacious and clean house.
Potted green plants, ancient clocks, and sabers hanging on the wall.
These are what Lin Zhi likes...
"Sister Lin Yan." Lin Zhi was gone, so she finally dared to speak: "Is this... my brother's home?"
"Yes." Lin Yan said to her, "Just stay here for the next two days. Although Lin Zhi's words may be unpleasant, he actually cares about you."
Qu Qingluo pursed her lips, didn't respond, and looked outside the house again.
Seeing her covered in dust, Lin Yan said, "Luoluo, it's too late. I'll take you back to your room to take a shower and rest."
Qu Qingluo blinked and said in a low voice: "No... I want to wait for him... I have something to say to him..."
"Okay, then you sit on the sofa and wait for him for a while."
"Um."
After Lin Yan went upstairs, Qu Qingluo sat awkwardly on the sofa, his hands on his knees, his body straight, looking outside the house from time to time.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Zhi and Xing Yu finally finished their conversation.
Seeing him come in, Qu Qingluo immediately stood up from the sofa and looked at him eagerly.
Xing Yu glanced at the pitiful Qu Qingluo, patted Lin Zhi on the shoulder, and strode upstairs.
The living room was so quiet in the early morning that the ticking of the wall clock was particularly clear.
Lin Zhi had no expression on his face. His cold voice cut through the silence: "What are you standing here for? Go upstairs and sleep."
Qu Qingluo took two steps forward: "Brother...I have something to ask you."
"Ask again tomorrow."
After saying that, Lin Zhi passed by her and went upstairs.
Qu Qingluo's heart tightened and she grabbed the cuff of his shirt.
That was a habit she had developed since she was a child. By holding on to him, she felt as if she could keep something.
"Um... Sister Chu Man... is she really your girlfriend? You haven't been home all these years... because of her, right?"
Lin Zhi turned around and his eyes fell on her face, which had not yet been cleaned of dust.
"Yes, it's because of her."
Leaving these words, he turned around again.
Leaving Qu Qingluo alone in the living room.
Qu Qingluo clutched the fabric at the side of her skirt, and dull pain spread from her fingertips to her chest.
Tears began to well up in my eyes again, but I stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"Are you going to stand there all night?" Lin Zhi stopped and looked back at her: "Go upstairs."
Qu Qingluo sniffed, lowered her head and followed behind him, like a child who had done something wrong.
Lin Zhi took her to the guest room and went to Lin Yan's room first.
When he came back, he threw her a clean white dress and said, "Take a shower and go to bed."
Qu Qingluo stood still.
Lin Zhi: "What do you want to do?"
"Brother...you...don't leave yet...I want to talk to you..."
Lin Zhi opened the door and left without waiting for her to finish.
The door closed, and Qu Qingluo's heart sank to the bottom.
After a while, she picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom.
When she came out of the shower, she found that Lin Zhi had returned.
Standing by the bedroom window, looking out with his hands in his pockets.
Hearing the voice, Lin Zhi turned around and glanced at her indifferently, pointing to the medicine box on the table: "Apply the medicine yourself."
"Um?"
"wrist."
Qu Qingluo then remembered that there were several obvious marks on her wrists, which were the red marks left by the friction of the rope when Qin Yuan tied her up.
Lin Zhiming still cares about her...
Qu Qingluo sat down and opened the medicine box. He clumsily and unfamiliarly took out the cotton swab and iodine, and applied the medicine to himself reluctantly.
Lin Zhi frowned as he watched her unskilled movements.
"A princess who was raised under such care can't even apply medicine?"
"I can……"
Lin Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked up to her and squatted in front of her, snatched the cotton swab from her hand, held her wrist and applied medicine to her with a cold face. His actions were not gentle.
Qu Qingluo stood still, looking at him closely.
The last time we met was a few months ago.
Every time, we meet and part in a hurry.
Sometimes, before she could even say a word to Lin Zhi, he would disappear again.
"elder brother……"
"Um."
Qu Qingluo said softly: "I... miss you..."
Lin Zhi paused and the cotton swab stopped at her wrist.
The air in the room seemed to freeze, leaving only the shallow breathing of the two people.
Lin Zhi threw away the cotton swab and stood up: "I don't want to hear this kind of words again."
"Lin Zhi." Qu Qingluo looked up, not knowing where she got the courage to argue with him: "I just miss you."
"What did you call me?" Lin Zhi's face darkened slightly. "Qu Qingluo, I'll say it one last time. I'm your brother."
"We are not related by blood!"
"Don't be crazy." Lin Zhi said coldly: "Your father and my mother are husband and wife, this is an unchangeable fact. Also, I already have a girlfriend and have no interest in you."
Qu Qingluo stood up and looked at him directly: "Lin Zhi, you obviously have me in your heart, you obviously like..."
"Qu Qingluo!" Lin Zhi interrupted suddenly, "Listen carefully, I don't like you! Not at all."
Qu Qingluo's eyelashes trembled, trying to hold back the tears from falling.
Her voice was hoarse: "You said you didn't like me... but that night a few years ago... why did you kiss me secretly? Lin Zhi... give me an explanation..."
Lin Zhi didn't avoid her gaze, his expression remained unchanged, and he threw a word to her coldly.
"I was drunk. I just mistook you for another woman."
