"There's really no need to test him; he definitely isn't interested in me," Shu Qingqing sighed wistfully, opening a strawberry-flavored lollipop.
Having experienced the feeling of liking someone herself, she knew exactly how Zuo Chenxing would react if he liked her too.
The way he looked at her, and the way he spent time with her, always treated her as an ordinary friend and a junior from school.
Even when she asked him to be her rented boyfriend for a while, and she even kissed his cheek and held his hand, he was only a little shy.
His reaction was almost identical to that of any ordinary boy.
Thinking of this, Shu Qingqing sighed again, feeling a little lost, wondering who else she could fall in love with next.
Zuo Chenxing has a good personality and good looks. Her family background, which was later revealed, is also quite impressive. She was also once a fan of an idol.
With such a perfect ideal woman by her side, she felt that she would be very picky about her taste in the future.
Seeing her sighing, Qiao Mei recalled Zuo Chenxing's attitude towards Shu Qingqing. Although she wanted to comfort her, she couldn't recall any instance where Zuo Chenxing had treated Shu Qingqing in a special way.
All I could do was advise her, "There are so many men in the world, you'll always meet other guys who will catch your eye, don't be discouraged."
After listening to the whole thing, Shang Duojin cleared his throat and chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are plentiful! But before that, you bad woman, you'd better put away your stinky temper, or who can stand you!"
Shu Qingqing could tell that Shang Duojin was just joking, but because she was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but argue back.
"You have the nerve to talk back to me? You're the one who needs to change your childish personality first, otherwise who's blind enough to fall for you? It's hilarious! And you dare to tell me what to do? You're not worthy!"
"?! That's hilarious! How am I not worthy?!"
The two people got up from their seats and started arguing.
Qiao Mei watched from the sidelines, feeling extremely exhausted, as neither helping Shang Duojin nor helping Shu Qingqing seemed to work.
Finally, all I could say was, "Stop fighting. This isn't a big deal, why did you have to resort to violence?"
Shang Duojin had already grabbed Shu Qingqing's whip and refused to let go. Shu Qingqing also grabbed the white handcuffs that Shang Duojin valued more than his own life, and at the same time looked at Qiao Mei and replied, "Make him/her let go first!!"
Qiao Mei: "......."
The two of them loved to fight and argue, and Ao Cang was already used to it. Seeing that Qiao Mei had a terrible headache, he stepped forward to help her and said, "We're almost there. If you keep fighting like this, are you planning to get off the aircraft like this?"
The two of them now look like refugees, one with hair as messy as a bird's nest and the other with clothes torn and disheveled.
Shang Duojin, who values his image the most, was the first to relinquish his grip.
Shu Qingqing was satisfied and withdrew her hand. The two of them then began to tidy their appearance.
After giving Ao Cang a grateful look, Qiao Mei's personal computer bracelet vibrated.
Upon opening it, I saw that it was a message from Xu Hui.
[Xiao Mei, Mom isn't feeling well today and might not be able to cook. Is it convenient for you to come back from your place? It won't take long.]
Xu Hui isn't the type to easily ask for help, so the fact that she chose to ask this time means the situation must be quite serious.
Qiao Mei, looking nervous, replied "No problem" and then turned around to tell Shu Qingqing and Shang Duojin about it.
"You guys go first, I'll come back after I've taken care of things at home. Anyway, I can't just stay at Yunque Mountain Forest for one day."
Qiao Mei hasn't told Shang Duojin and the others about Xu Hui's pregnancy yet.
Seeing the worry and tension on her face, I could tell it was no small matter, so I didn't try to stop her and watched her leave with Ao Cang.
Without her, Shang Duojin and Shu Qingqing had more and more opportunities to have conflicts and disputes.
For example, after arriving at the hotel near Yunque Mountain Forest, the two disagreed on whether to stay in a suite or a regular room.
"Of course we have to stay in a suite. I'm not used to staying in a private room. Anyway, it's not your money, so why do you insist on going to a private room?"
"Isn't that obvious, Shang Duojin? There are only two of us, and each of us has a suite. This isn't just being extravagant; it's throwing money around, you know that?!"
Shang Duojin wanted to say that he was not short of money at all, but Shu Qingqing, who was used to being frugal, did not tolerate him at all. She told him that she would never accept living alone in a suite, even if she did not pay for it.
Such extravagance is completely inconsistent with her usual lifestyle.
Shang Duojin had never stayed in a private room before and was not too willing. After thinking for a while, he compromised: "How about this, since there are two rooms in the suite, if you don't want to book a separate room, you can stay in the suite with me."
Living with a boy was something Shu Qingqing had never done before, and she instinctively refused, saying, "No way, don't you know there's a difference between men and women? You..."
"Tsk, you don't actually think I'd be interested in a woman with such a bad temper like you, do you?" Shang Duojin interrupted her cheekily, using reverse psychology.
He also gave Shu Qingqing a disapproving look from head to toe, his gaze lingering on her rather thin figure for a while, which made Shu Qingqing so angry that her hair almost stood on end.
"Fine, I'll stay. But I wouldn't even look at a shorty like you!"
Actually, Shang Duojin was only a little shorter than the average guy, but when he stood next to Shu Qingqing, he was still half a head taller than her.
Hearing her call him "shorty," he immediately became unhappy, thinking it was just because he hadn't worn shoe inserts today.
But upon closer reflection, he realized how embarrassing that sounded, so he kept quiet and asked the front desk for a suite.
Because the hotel is close to the mountains and forests, the room temperature is relatively low without the need for air conditioning.
Shu Qingqing was wearing a rather light dress, and it was already getting a bit chilly.
Seeing her sneeze from the cold, Shang Duojin stared at her red nose, took off his coat and tossed it to her: "Put this on, don't wait until Sister Qiao is done with her work and you catch a cold again, holding us back."
This made Shu Qingqing put on the coat she was going to throw back, muttering, "At least you have some conscience."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a heavy rain began to fall outside, the fog was thick, and the indoor lighting was extremely dim.
There were also faint signs that thunder was about to rumble.
Shu Qingqing is afraid of nothing except lightning.
Sensing that thunder was about to break, she quickly went to draw the curtains. Noticing her unusual behavior, Shang Duojin asked curiously as he helped her draw the curtains, "What's wrong? You naughty woman, are you afraid of thunderstorms?"
He looked at Shu Qingqing, who seemed fearless all the time, and never imagined that she would be afraid of thunder.
Shu Qingqing wanted to stubbornly deny it, but the next moment a deafening thunderclap rang out outside, scaring her so much that her face turned pale instantly. She subconsciously squatted on the ground, covering her head like a little chick.
