Lu Qingzhou smiled bitterly and blurted out subconsciously, "Come on, let's 'bury them together'."
As soon as he said it, he was stunned. He never expected to respond in such an absurd way.
"Holy crap, am I really in big trouble?!"
He inwardly groaned, wishing he could slap himself.
Lin Yinuo stared blankly at Lu Qingzhou, then smiled brightly, "Brother Qingzhou, does this mean you've agreed to be with me?"
'I promised you! How could I dare?'
This isn't just some sympathy for your earlier display of affection; it's utter nonsense!
Lu Qingzhou shouted in his heart.
Seeing that Little Chili had misunderstood him,
Lu Qingzhou didn't care whether it would hurt her.
I had no choice but to act swiftly and decisively, cutting through the mess. "Yinuo, you've misunderstood me."
We're really not a good match. After hearing what you just said, I understand your views on relationships.
However, I cannot let Qingyao down, I cannot let my sister Shaohua down!
We...we're really not a good match. Besides, all I ever felt for you was a crush.
His tone was sincere and resolute, his eyes revealing a hint of reluctance, but more so, determination.
Seeing Lu Qingzhou's resolute attitude, Lin Yinuo felt as if a dull knife was slowly cutting through her heart, causing her great pain.
A bitter look appeared on her face, and she forced a smile, nodding slightly.
Her chin trembled slightly, and her voice trembled almost imperceptibly: "Okay, I understand."
Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning white from the force. "Brother Qingzhou, can we still be friends?"
She looked up, her eyes filled with expectation, as if grasping at the straw of "friendship."
In the future, I will be able to get even closer to Lu Qingzhou.
"Of course we can be friends."
Lu Qingzhou spoke these words almost without hesitation.
I was worried that this little firecracker would immediately change her mind!
"Brother Qingzhou, let's be friends."
Lin Yinuo lowered her eyes, but the stubborn light in them could not be hidden. Her fair and delicate hands gently rubbed the jade pendant, as if she was cheering herself up.
She said she was letting go, but in her heart she thought, 'Being friends? It's just a temporary measure because the time isn't right yet. One day, you'll fall for me.'
If Lu Qingzhou knew what she was thinking
He had to jump up and shout, "Lin Yinuo, you old bastard!"
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs"!
Lu Qingzhou could never possibly know what Lin Yinuo was thinking!
in other words,
Even if Lu Qingzhou really knew what Lin Yinuo was thinking at this moment, he wouldn't care.
He just wants to take care of what's in front of him right now; who the hell knows what will happen in the future!
Seeing Lin Yinuo agree, Lu Qingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe away non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.
He thought to himself, "Damn, at least this is resolved. Otherwise, Su Qingyao would never forgive me when we get back."
His shoulders relaxed slightly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Let's go back now. It's so early in the morning, and no one has eaten yet."
As he spoke, he looked up at the guesthouse, took the lead and walked forward, his steps becoming much lighter.
Lin Yinuo watched Lu Qingzhou's departing figure, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, her chest heaving violently.
She clenched her small fist and raised it slightly, silently encouraging herself: "It's okay, temporary setbacks are not scary. Lin Yinuo, you can do it! Keep going!"
After doing all this, she followed Lu Qingzhou's footsteps towards the guesthouse.
He ran while calling out, "Brother Qingzhou, wait for me!"
Lu Qingzhou stopped in her tracks, slowly turned around, and gave a smile.
He chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and said, "I was just a little hungry."
His smile held a hint of embarrassment, as if someone had seen through his thoughts.
Under the dense bushes not far from the two,
A slender figure was stealthily hidden among them. So tense she barely dared to breathe, her ears perked up, listening intently to almost every detail of their conversation.
at this time,
Seeing Lu Qingzhou and the other person walking towards her, the beautiful figure suddenly became flustered.
He instinctively stepped back, his movements hurried and flustered.
I accidentally tripped over a delicate potted plant next to my feet.
With a crisp "clang",
The sudden sound made Lu Qingzhou and Lin Yinuo stop in their tracks and look in the direction of the sound.
As the footsteps of the two grew closer, the woman in the figure felt a sense of foreboding. Realizing she could no longer hide, she quickly squatted down, pretending to admire the potted plant on the ground. Her fingers gently touched the leaves, and she murmured, "Hmm, this potted plant is quite pretty. Should I take it home and plant it?"
Her voice sounded somewhat unnatural, carrying a hint of barely concealed nervousness.
As Lin Yinuo and Lu Qingzhou slowly approached, they finally saw the person who had made the noise.
Lu Qingzhou asked in confusion, "Leng Yue, what are you doing here?"
Watching Leng Yue holding a potted plant, looking around and observing...
Lu Qingzhou was speechless.
Thinking to myself, "It's so early in the morning, and Leng Yue is actually messing around with this old potted plant."
This clearly defies common sense, so there's only one truth: they must have been secretly following us.
But he didn't expose her; let's see how this girl responds!
Leng Yue pretended to have just seen them, her eyes widening suddenly, her face full of surprise: "Oh, it's you guys. I was bored, so I looked around. I didn't expect the area around this guesthouse to be so nicely decorated. Look how unique these potted plants are. I really want to take them back and plant them on my balcony, hehe."
