Shi Qinghe came close to Xu Bai and cursed at Ji Heng on the video call.
"You bastard man who values women over friends, you didn't answer my calls, but you answered Xu Bai's calls very quickly. Don't come home tonight."
"My phone is out of battery, and my phone watch is solar-powered."
"I don't want to see you." Shi Qinghe curled her lips and looked at Xu Bai with a flattering smile.
"Xu Bai, we've known each other for so long, could you please give me one of these newly developed things? Or tell me when this thing is new so I can grab it as soon as possible."
"Just wait two or three months."
"Two or three months? It's going to take that long. You two really value love over friendship. I'm dying of laughter. I'm not going to do this. I'm going to ask Ji Heng for one."
Shi Qinghe rushed out of the office, but within a few minutes she slipped back in and snatched two slices of the cake Xu Qing had just cut. "That Ji Heng guy did this, right? This is evidence of his treacherous behavior of prioritizing women over friendship."
"Let me take it away and ask him to make a few more cakes."
Shi Qinghe used this as an excuse to take away two small pieces of cake, gave one to his mother at the hospital, and ate the other. After eating, he licked his knife and fork, stroked his belly with both hands, and half-reclining on the chair, looking a little lonely.
He always thought that Ji Heng could catch up with Xu Bai, but when Ji Heng really caught up with Xu Bai, he felt very melancholy.
I was happy but also felt like I was the only old man left alone.
"Haven't you been encouraging Xiao Heng to chase the City Lord at home? Why are you not happy now that he has succeeded?"
"Don't tell me you like the City Lord too..."
Mrs. Shi looked outside the office and when she found no one was there, she lowered her voice and looked out the door, fearing that someone might have heard their conversation and spread it.
"Mom, what are you thinking? I'm just feeling sad that Ah Heng had a girlfriend before me. People like us who are of the same age and have boyfriends and girlfriends have to avoid suspicion to avoid misunderstandings. But mom, in this kind of life, it's really rare to find someone who is interested in you. I'm jealous."
After the end of the world, the relationship between men and women is more like a tacit agreement, a transaction. Many girls sell themselves or are forced to sell themselves in order to survive.
What Shi Qinghe said about envy was also true.
"Xiao He, what gift should mom prepare for the city lord? Xiao Heng is also your brother. I can't think of a good gift for his girlfriend. This won't do. I'll call your dad right away and ask him to think about it together." Mother Shi was in a hurry, and Shi Qinghe couldn't persuade her no matter what. She watched Mother Shi busying around with helplessness and amusement.
When Shi Qinghe walked out of the office, he saw Lu Yaoyao sitting on a chair. She looked hesitant, as if she was embarrassed to see him. As soon as her eyes met his, she immediately looked away.
Is he that unsightly?
Shi Qinghe subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face and walked towards where Lu Yaoyao was sitting.
Noticing that the closer he got, the more at a loss Lu Yaoyao became, Shi Qinghe frowned and walked up to Lu Yaoyao.
"Lu Yaoyao, are you sick? Do you need help? Can I call a doctor for you?"
Lu Yaoyao cried out, then realized she was speaking too loudly, and hurriedly lowered her voice, "No... no... no need... I'm fine."
"Oh, I remember you went back to Shangjing City. Why are you back so soon?"
"Yes, bring some things back here, and leave in a few days." Lu Yaoyao looked at the handsome and cool Shi Qinghe in front of him, hesitated for a while, and spoke before Shi Qinghe was about to leave.
"I will often travel between Shangjing City and Shuguang City in the future."
"Transporting goods?"
Although the Dongxi can be placed directly on the train, someone still needs to be responsible for watching over it.
This was something everyone had agreed upon at the beginning, so Lu Yaoyao didn't need to hide it from Shi Qinghe.
Shi Qinghe gave him a sympathetic look and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Um, Shi Qinghe, City Lord Xubai is in love?" Lu Yaoyao stared at Shi Qinghe intently, not allowing herself to miss any of his expressions.
She just heard Shi's mother ask him if he liked Xu Bai too, but she didn't hear his answer.
Afraid of being discovered by the people inside, she ran away, but she didn't expect that in her anxiety, she accidentally sprained her foot.
"Yeah, maybe if you go back and forth a few more times, you can even drink at her wedding."
His expression was no different from before, and he even smiled as he spoke, as if he was looking forward to seeing this day.
So, Shi Qinghe doesn’t like Xu Bai, right?
Lu Yaoyao stood up happily, "Really?"
Unexpectedly, the pain from the soles of her feet made her gasp.
"What's wrong? Did you twist your ankle?"
Shi Qinghe helped Lu Yaoyao sit down, squatted down, lifted her trouser legs, and saw a large swelling on her ankle. She frowned and said, "It's so serious. I didn't expect you to be so careless."
After all, for Lu Yaoyao's job, such small things and problems should not happen to her.
Shi Qinghe was puzzled and glanced at Lu Yaoyao who looked dazed.
I just thought she had encountered something and didn't notice it.
But I just hope it’s not a big deal, otherwise he has turned from a carefree person into a weird guy now, so awkward that I feel like the hairs on my hands are standing up.
Lu Yaoyao could not hear anything. Her nostrils were filled with Shi Qinghe's scent, and her heart was beating wildly and faster.
Looking at Shi Qinghe who was very close to her, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but think, if he didn't like Xu Bai, could she be a little more proactive?
"Did you hear me?"
"ah?"
"I said, I'm taking you to see a doctor. Should I hold you or carry you on my back?"
No matter which method was used, Lu Yaoyao only felt that her heart was beating faster.
"It will be all right."
"Then I'll carry you."
Lu Yaoyao was carried on Shi Qinghe's back. She was very close to him. Lu Yaoyao secretly leaned her head on his back and felt that she had twisted her foot very well today.
Her mother was right before. Girls should act weak in front of the person they secretly love.
When Shi Qinghe finished her work and returned home to see Ji Heng, she chased after him and tried to beat him, but was stopped by Shi's mother one by one.
Shi Qinghe lay on the sofa like Ge You, and criticized Ji Heng for a while, then told them about her meeting with Lu Yaoyao.
Finally, he asked, "Are you sure this girl wasn't infected by zombies or some virus that caused her personality to change drastically?"
"Should we take her to the research lab for a checkup?"
Silly, she just likes you.
Shi's mother and Ji Heng were speechless about Shi Qinghe and ignored her words.
