really……
Lu Jing pulled her towards the nearby forest. Zhou Qian struggled and didn't want to go with him. "Where are you taking me?"
Lu Jing didn't say anything. He pulled her to a small river in the mountains, let her go, and sat down by the river.
Zhou Qian looked at his dejected back, hesitated for a moment, walked over slowly and sat down next to him.
With a "gulp" sound, Lu Jing picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the river, splashing clear water.
There is a small bamboo forest on the other side of the stream. The cold wind blows through, and the bamboo forest makes a rustling sound, adding a bit of artistic beauty to the quiet mountains.
Zhou Qian sat for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, the anger in his heart grew, and he stood up to leave.
"Why are you so impatient?" Lu Jing held her back.
Zhou Qian sarcastically said, "For someone like you who has endured for years without getting impatient or irritable, who dares to compete with you in patience?"
"What else should I do?" Lu Jing glanced at her, his tone helpless. "When I woke up, you had already agreed to be with him. You even said yourself that you agreed to be with him not because he saved you. What's the point of me telling the truth now?"
If he had said it at that time, he didn't know whether Zhou Qian and Lin Chenyi would be together, but there was definitely no possibility for him and Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian said, "At least it will allow me to see Lin Chenyi's true hypocritical face, and I won't be fooled by him for so many years."
"Then if you exchange a lie for a true relationship, do you think it's worth it?"
Zhou Qian was stunned by his question, but her mind quickly turned around, "Do you think a relationship that lives in deception can last long?"
"So I'm taking a gamble." I'm taking a gamble that Lin Chenyi can keep his word and only love her for the rest of his life.
As long as she was happy, he wouldn't mind a lie.
Moreover, he had resentment towards her at that time. He resented her for easily agreeing to someone else's pursuit and having forgotten him completely. He also hated her for taking away his family's money and leaving.
So when she happily agreed to be Lin Chenyi's girlfriend, he did nothing.
Zhou Qian's eyes were red as she said resentfully, "You're gambling with my lifelong happiness, Lu Jing, what do you take me for?"
Lu Jing looked at the sadness in her eyes, and felt like a needle piercing his heart. After a moment of silence, he put his big hands into her hair and kissed her on the lips, "I'm sorry."
Tears flashed in Zhou Qian's eyes.
Lu Jing tucked the loose hair behind her ear and said calmly, "I saw Lin Chenyi confessing his love to you in the group chat. You looked so excited and happy in the video. I admit that I didn't have the courage to tell you the truth."
Zhou Qian was stunned.
Who was this Lu Jing? Little Master Lu, a man of countless women, with thousands chasing after him, who could have imagined that he could have moments of insecurity?
"If there were no problems between Lin Chenyi and me, would you never tell the truth?"
Lu Jing looked at her and asked, "What's the point of telling her?"
Zhou Qian was speechless.
Yes, if she and Lin Chenyi continue to love each other as they had promised, what is the point of him telling the truth?
He would not choose to destroy a good relationship, nor would he choose to undermine his brother.
Zhou Qian's eyes suddenly turned, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier when you knew Lin Chenyi was cheating on you?"
Lu Jing snorted wickedly, "Where do you think the video of Lin Chenyi and Chen Yaoyao hanging out together came from?"
"...It's you?" Zhou Qian stared with her bright eyes, her shocked look a little silly and a little cute.
Lu Jing loved her silly look so much that he held her face and kissed her hard on the lips.
“Hmm…”
Zhou Qian's teeth were hit by him and she wanted to push him away because of the pain, but Lu Jing did not let go and kissed her for a while. Zhou Qian's inner thoughts were resolved and she gradually kissed him back.
She couldn't blame Lu Jing for not telling the truth. She could only say that everyone had different standpoints at the time, and there were clues to this matter. For example, when she and Lu Jing were together for the first time, when Lu Jing was biting the scar on her shoulder, he asked inexplicably,
"Does it still hurt?"
For example, she said that Lin Chenyi risked his life to save her, and Lu Jing had hinted about it to her, but she didn't think much about it at that time.
The main reason is that I never thought that there would be such a big lie hidden in this matter.
…
Maotou saw that the two of them had disappeared for a long time and was worried that they were not familiar with the situation in the mountains and had accidentally gotten lost, so he came out to look for them.
After searching for a while without finding it, Maotou went to the river to look for it, "Brother Jing...Sister-in-law..."
The rest of the words stopped abruptly, and Maotou stared with wide eyes at the two people hugging and kissing passionately on the ground by the river.
It's over, he's in trouble!
As soon as Maotou appeared, Zhou Qian was too embarrassed to face anyone and shrank into Lu Jing's arms. Lu Jing had a gloomy face and picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Maotou.
"You're the only one who stands out."
He always shows up at the critical moment.
Maotou dodged the stone, turned his back to them with a wronged look on his face, and explained, "I was afraid you'd get lost, so I came to check on you."
"Don't you know how to call and ask?"
"Why didn't I think of that!" Maotou scratched his head in annoyance.
"Get out of here!" Lu Jing picked up another stone and threw it at him.
This time, Maotou didn't have time to dodge and was hit on the back of the neck. He said bitterly, "Brother Jing, I really didn't mean it. Besides, I didn't know you young people were so excited to play in the wild in broad daylight."
Zhou Qian took a deep breath. He had lost all his face in this life today.
Lu Jing could feel the woman in his arms was losing hope in life. He wanted to laugh but was afraid of getting into trouble, so he could only vent his anger on Maotou. "I think I need to beat you up first."
As Lu Jing spoke, he stood up and walked towards Maotou aggressively, as if he was ready to take action.
Maotou was so scared that he held his head and said, "Brother Jing, spare my life. At worst, I can go down to the river to catch some fish and make grilled fish for my sister-in-law."
"Are there any fish in this river?" When Zhou Qian heard that he could catch fish, he immediately forgot about being embarrassed to see people and ran to the river to see if he could see any fish.
"Of course there are. If you don't believe me, I'll catch one and show it to my sister-in-law." Maotou said as he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the river.
Although Zhou Qian really wanted to eat grilled fish, looking at the gurgling river water, he knew it must be very cold in this season, so he gave up in the end.
"Forget it. The water is so cold. It's easy to get sick."
"Don't worry, we can still catch fish without going into the water." Maotou said confidently.
Zhou Qian looked at him with suspicion, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to see how he could catch the fish without going into the water.
…
Maotou didn't have any special skills that impressed Zhou Qian. He just went to nearby villagers to borrow a fishing net and used a dragnet to catch fish.
However, by the time he borrowed the fishing net, Lu Jing had already caught several fish with his homemade harpoon. Zhou Qian looked at the omnipotent man with excitement and admiration, with little pink stars in her eyes.
