Just as Lu Qingzhou and Leng Yue were still deeply immersed in the embarrassing moment that made their cheeks burn, the bedroom door shook slightly, and Su Qingyao came out.
Her long, ink-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few stray strands playfully falling beside her fair cheeks.
She was holding a set of light and soft pajamas, preparing to go to the bathroom.
Earlier, she had faintly heard laughter coming from the living room while she was in her bedroom.
No abnormalities were detected.
But as soon as she stepped into the living room,
There was an indescribable, strange atmosphere in the air.
She paused slightly, her clear, autumn-water-like eyes gently sweeping over Lu Qingzhou and Leng Yue.
This casual glance caused Lu Qingzhou's heart, which had finally managed to calm down, to begin to stir uncontrollably.
His palms were slightly sweaty, and his heart suddenly raced. A strange tension and panic quickly spread through his heart.
Looking at Leng Yue again, her pretty face was now flushed red, just like a ripe apple.
His eyes flickered slightly, like a child who had done something wrong, trying his best to avoid Su Qingyao's gaze.
Su Qingyao's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, forming a beautiful arc.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, her eyes full of suspicion. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you two? Something's off about you."
Upon hearing Su Qingyao's voice, Leng Yue and Lu Qingzhou felt as if they had been struck by an invisible electric current, their bodies stiffening simultaneously.
The two subconsciously glanced at each other, but as soon as their eyes met, they quickly looked away and looked elsewhere.
Perhaps because they felt a little guilty, no one could think of a way to answer Su Qingyao's question for a moment.
Lu Qingzhou thought to herself, 'Can I say that the two of them just kissed? Of course not.'
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and looked at Su Qingyao with a dry laugh: "It's nothing, I was just playing around with Leng Yue and accidentally tripped and fell."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Su Qingyao's reaction out of the corner of his eye, while signaling Leng Yue with his eyes to quickly agree with him.
Leng Yue understood immediately and nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice, stammering, "Yes...yes, it was just playing around, I accidentally fell, and then...and then..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until the last few words were almost inaudible.
Looking at Leng Yue's flustered appearance, Lu Qingzhou couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
He thought to himself, "And then, then my brother-in-law, why didn't you just say he fell down? Adding 'and then' is just superfluous. Holy crap, you're something else!"
Seeing Leng Yue's helpless expression, Su Qingyao's suspicion deepened, and she pressed for an answer: "And then what?"
Lu Qingzhou awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, then quickly replied, trying to appear calm, "She had a close encounter with me."
At this point, Lu Qingzhou paused deliberately, glancing furtively at Leng Yue.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yue's heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest. Her breathing became rapid, and she felt like she could hardly breathe.
'This bastard, is he going to reveal the accidental kiss we just had?'
Looking at Leng Yue's extremely nervous expression, Lu Qingzhou smiled smugly to himself: 'Little brat, you scared me, now it's my turn to scare you.'
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Lu Qingzhou continued to embellish the story, saying, "Then, she tickled my chest. Look, it's all red. She's one of yours, you have to teach her a lesson."
Looking at Lu Qingzhou's smug expression, Leng Yue felt a rush of blood to her head, and she almost vomited blood from anger.
She knew Lu Qingzhou was teasing her on purpose, and her face immediately turned red. Without saying a word, she kicked his butt again, but the force was not great; it was more like a playful scolding.
Seeing this, Lu Qingzhou dramatically flopped onto the sofa.
He let out a "ouch" sound.
She then looked at Su Qingyao and began to complain: "Look at her, she has no ladylike manners at all, she keeps touching me inappropriately."
Su Qingyao watched the two of them chatting and joking around, feeling both annoyed and amused, without giving it much thought.
In her opinion, this was how Leng Yue and Lu Qingzhou usually interacted.
Given Leng Yue's carefree and guileless personality, this is exactly how she should react when facing Lu Qingzhou.
Su Qingyao moved with light, graceful steps, each step exuding a unique elegance.
She approached Leng Yue and Lu Qingzhou, raised her fair, jade-like fingers and gently tapped Leng Yue's forehead, scolding, "You two, how old are you? You're still fighting like children. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
After speaking, she turned her gaze to Lu Qingzhou.
A faint smile played on her lips: "You too, can't you be a little more accommodating to Yueyue? No matter what, she's still a girl."
Lu Qingzhou did not respond, but simply pursed her lips slightly.
Seeing the two of them remain silent, Su Qingyao shook her head and chuckled, "I really can't do anything with you two. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were a pair of bickering lovers."
"A bickering couple?"
Upon hearing this, the two had completely different thoughts.
Lu Qingzhou pursed her lips, inwardly grumbling, "A bickering couple? Give me a break. With her personality, all loud and boisterous, I wonder who will be the unlucky one to be tormented by her every day."
As he thought about it, the image of Leng Yue's usual carefree demeanor appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
