Wang Pangzi, feeling sullen after being told off, went back to his room to sleep.
Only Lu Zheng, Gu Xin, Gu En, and Zheng Qiu remained in the hall; even Dong Xue had gone to rest.
The waiter and cook who stayed on night duty rested in a room on the downstairs floor so they could greet visitors promptly.
"Aren't you two sleepy yet?" Gu Xin asked Gu En and Zheng Qiu, then picked up her teacup to take a sip of water.
“I’m waiting for Xiao Qiu. We agreed to sleep together tonight!” Gu En said to Zheng Qiu.
"Pfft!" Gu Xin spat out a mouthful of tea and looked at Gu En in surprise.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised? Xiao Qiu clearly agreed last night, but then said he wanted to read. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to sleep by myself. He definitely won't read tonight!" Gu En said aggrievedly.
Zheng Qiu grimaced, picked up the water bottle, and took a sip.
"No, Enzi, you're not going to tell me it's because you're scared, are you? How old are you? We were born at the beginning and end of the year, and I wasn't scared. What are you scared of?" Gu Xin said speechlessly.
"What does this have to do with age?" Gu En explained nonchalantly. "It's all Brother Yuan's fault. He didn't even remind me yesterday, letting me stare directly at Hu Qiangzi's head. You guys don't know, if I hadn't been in Xiao Qiu's room last night, where I felt a little more at ease, I probably wouldn't have been able to close my eyes all night. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Hu Qiangzi's head. It was really creepy."
"How can you blame me? You rushed in so hastily, and I didn't even have time to warn you!" Lu Zheng said helplessly.
"No, Xiao Qiu, you just let him sleep in your bed?" Gu Xin looked at Zheng Qiu again.
"If he insists on staying, I can't beat him in a fight, and I can't push him away with my small frame. Why don't you take him away tonight, General Lu?" Zheng Qiu was also helpless!
If she could, she wouldn't want to spend the whole night slumped over her desk; she woke up this morning with her whole body aching.
"Forget it, I'd rather not. Let him go back to his room and lock it in for him. It's his business if he can't sleep all night. A real man shouldn't be afraid of something like this; people will laugh at him!" Lu Zheng shook his head, resolutely refusing.
“Enzi, you’ll be laughed at by everyone for doing this. You just said that Boss Du is annoyed by Fatty Wang, but haven’t you noticed that Xiao Qiu is annoyed by you too?” Gu Xin asked.
"Xiao Qiu doesn't bother me!" Gu En said with certainty, then looked at Zheng Qiu, "Right, Xiao Qiu?"
“No,” Zheng Qiu shook her head. “I’m annoyed. I’m not used to sharing a bed with someone.”
"Huh? You're actually annoyed with me? You..." Gu En was a little hurt, pointing at Zheng Qiu, "Is it just because I'm not a girl? You don't like sleeping with men, you like sleeping with girls?"
“Hmm, you can think of it that way.” Zheng Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"..." Gu En didn't know what to say.
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin exchanged a glance.
Oh no! If Enzi continues down this path and still doesn't realize that Xiaoqiu is a girl, he's definitely going to start questioning the meaning of life.
What to do?
Should we tell him?
“Enzi, you know Yun Tieshan, right?” Gu Xin suddenly spoke up.
“I know him! He was a great general of the previous dynasty! He fought in place of my brother and was incredibly brave,” Gu En said, then looked at Gu Xin with suspicion, “Third Sister, why are you suddenly bringing up this General Yun? Are you trying to change the subject and tell me that I can’t be inferior to even a girl, right?”
Lu Zheng, Gu Xin, Zheng Qiu: "..."
