"Thanks, at least you, this wicked woman, still have some conscience."
Shang Duojin took the fragrant roasted meat and asked casually, "How come you remember my likes and dislikes so clearly? You also remembered Sister Qiao's?"
Shu Qingqing nodded: "Of course I've remembered that. You are, after all, one of my few friends. I should take my friends seriously."
Upon hearing this expected answer, Shang Duojin felt inexplicably irritated.
It was as if he hoped that Shu Qingqing would only be special to him.
Realizing this terrifying thought, Shang Duojin quickly shook off the goosebumps that had risen on his body and shared some of the roasted meat with Lei Ting.
He muttered to himself, "Am I crazy? How could I even have such a thought..."
His voice was very soft, and Shu Qingqing couldn't hear what he said clearly. After glancing at him, she opened her smart bracelet to look at Zuo Chenxing's homepage, wanting to see if he had posted anything on his Moments.
But as expected, he still rarely posts on WeChat Moments, just like before.
Merchants, on the other hand, are wealthy.
As soon as she entered, she saw the series of selfies he had posted, and of course, the background of each selfie included her, Qiao Mei, and Ao Cang.
Even in candid shots, they all look like grotesque, savage-like figures.
Ao Cang is the only one who looks somewhat normal in Shang Duojin's selfies.
After giving Shang Duojin a thumbs up, Shu Qingqing left a comment below: "Next time, could you please Photoshop us together? You've ruined our image!"
As soon as she sent that message, the special notification sound she had set for Zuo Chenxing went off.
He swiped up and found that he had posted a new update on his WeChat Moments.
The accompanying picture is of a rainbow after the rain, with the caption: "When will I be able to get my own rainbow?"
His words were quite meaningful; an ordinary person would certainly not have been able to understand what he meant.
But Shu Qingqing immediately realized that he was hinting at when he could be with Qiao Mei.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to like his post or how to comment on it.
Lost in thought, a red dot lit up in the upper right corner. She clicked on it and saw that it was Shang Duojin replying to her.
"I didn't even Photoshop myself, and I still look fine. Some people need to face the facts. What you see is what you get. I see Cang Ao doesn't need to Photoshop himself. Does the camera have any malicious intent towards you?"
This blatant mockery instantly dispelled Shu Qingqing's pent-up frustration. She angrily looked up at Shang Duojin, who was still happily eating barbecue, and shouted, "Shang! Duo! Jin!!!"
Shang Duojin was startled. The roasted meat he was about to swallow got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't breathe for a moment. His neck and face turned red, and he tried to cough up the meat in pain.
But he simply couldn't do it alone.
The sudden turn of events startled Shu Qingqing. Forgetting about continuing her argument with Shang Duojin, she quickly ran behind him and, following the first aid methods she had seen online, wrapped her arms around his abdomen, tightly gripping him, and thrusting her body forward with all her might.
After repeating this several times, Shang Duojin, who was almost suffocating, finally spat out the piece of roasted meat stuck in his throat, coughing violently and trying to breathe in some fresh air.
Thunder Snake was terrified. When it realized what was happening, it quickly went to get Shang Duojin some napkins and water so he could wipe his mouth and rinse it.
Shu Qingqing was exhausted. Seeing that Shang Duojin was alright, she recalled how he had almost choked to death earlier, and felt both angry and scared.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she scolded him with a sob in her voice, "How could anyone be so stupid as to act like you? If I hadn't been there just now, do you know you might have been GG (killed)?!"
This was the first time Shang Duojin had experienced something like this; the suffocating feeling was too unfamiliar and too terrifying for him.
Gang Zhun retorted to Shu Qingqing, saying that this was all thanks to her.
If she hadn't suddenly gotten angry and called his name, would he have encountered such bad luck?
But before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Shu Qingqing's eyes were red, and he immediately stopped speaking.
"You wicked woman, why are you crying? You're not the one who's stuck. If anyone should be crying, it should be me!"
Shu Qingqing's hands and feet felt weak.
She cried not only because she was afraid that Shang Duojin would die in front of her, but also because it reminded her of some painful memories from the past.
Those past events were too heavy, mixed with a strong smell of blood. Whenever she thought about them, Shu Qingqing felt as if a large darkness enveloped her and she felt a chill run through her body.
She never mentioned her past, so Shang Duojin was unaware of this reason.
Seeing that the more he talked, the harder Shu Qingqing cried, she immediately stopped talking and looked helplessly at Lei Ting, asking him with her eyes what to do.
Thunder was just a familiar beast, so of course it didn't know how to handle this situation.
However, according to the rules of some soap operas he watches when he's bored, in general, when a guy makes a girl cry, he needs to find a way to comfort and accompany her until she stops crying.
Thinking of this, Lei Ting handed a tissue to Shang Duojin and asked him to wipe Shu Qingqing's tears.
Then she whispered to him, "Master, do you know what she likes? You could take it out for her now; it might be useful."
The idea that Thunder's strategist came up with wasn't entirely reliable, but it wasn't completely useless either.
After hesitating for a moment, Shang Duojin recalled what Shu Qingqing liked and, with a slightly unnatural expression, took out a rather exquisite wooden box from his computer bracelet and opened it.
Inside was a black and pink necklace, the same color as the outfits Shu Qingqing used to like, so you could tell at a glance it was bought for her.
He knelt down in front of her, awkwardly handing her a napkin while also giving her the wooden box: "Don't cry, consider this a reward for saving me. I was originally thinking of buying this for one of my sisters, but now I'm giving it to you for free!"
Shu Qingqing loves black and pink; most of the clothes in her wardrobe are in this color scheme.
So when I saw the black and red gemstone necklace through my teary eyes, most of my sadness instantly disappeared.
He reached out and took it.
The gemstones on the necklace are of very high quality; they are clear and clean, and feel cool and smooth to the touch. Wearing them in the summer would definitely keep you cool.
Shu Qingqing sniffed, took the napkin Shang Duojin gave her, wiped her tears and snot, and said with a thick nasal voice, "What do you mean by giving me a bargain? I got this through dirty tricks!"
Receiving the beautiful necklace improved Shu Qingqing's mood considerably.
It's because I cried so much before that my brain is a little oxygen-deprived.
As Shang Duojin helped her up, he casually remarked, "But I didn't expect you to still have such deep feelings for me. You even cried when you learned I was going to die!"
