Chapter 13: Ungrateful
Zhu Jianyi likes Qi Yanxue?
Have you liked it for many years?
Zhu Wendong thought he had no hobby of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, so he planned to walk away. However, it was too dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, so he kicked a piece of gravel.
The stone rolled a long way, making a loud noise.
"Who's there?"
Zhu Jianyi, who was in the distance, had already followed the sound and came over. After seeing her clearly, he asked in a slightly shocked tone, "Sister, why are you here?"
Qi Yanxue walked up to Zhu Jianyi leisurely, and when he saw it was her, he raised his eyebrows with interest.
Zhu Wendong knew he was in the wrong, so he said in a very gentle manner, "I'm just taking a walk, you guys continue."
"Who knows if you were really taking a walk or just pretending to? What if you followed me out on purpose?" Qi Yanxue had no intention of letting her go and was picking on her.
Zhu Wendong took a deep breath and said, "Believe it or not, are you trying to silence me?"
Qi Yanxue glanced at her furrowed brows. Her brows would become like this whenever she encountered something troubling, and it hadn't changed over the years. Was she getting nervous when she heard him being confessed to?
It seemed that what she couldn't bear to part with was only his face with similar features, not him as a person. Her face suddenly fell: "Kill you? I'm too lazy to do it."
Zhu Jianyi didn't know about their past, but she always felt that they had a very close relationship. They just talked one word at a time and no one else could get a word in.
She asked the question: "Sister, do you know Qi Yanxue?"
A cold wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.
Zhu Wendong, wearing only a thin knitted jacket, couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and blurted out, "I'm not familiar with her."
His tone was calm as if he was giving an interview without any emotion.
"I'm done walking, you guys continue." After saying that, she turned around and left without mercy.
Zhu Jianyi was unsure whether Zhu Wendong's words were true or not. She just remembered the half-confession she had just made and turned her head to look at Qi Yanxue.
Seeing Qi Yanxue's eyes, he was stunned for no reason.
His eyes followed the departing figure all the time. When he saw her shoulders hunched due to the cold, his brows furrowed, and there was a concern in his eyes that he himself was not aware of.
Zhu Jianyi couldn't help but ask, "Qi Yanxue, are you really not familiar with my sister?"
Qi Yanxue's gaze shifted to her, and the glare from before faded. He said nonchalantly, "Didn't she say she wasn't familiar with him? Didn't you hear clearly?"
Zhu Jianyi choked and tried to speak again, but Qi Yanxue saw through her and interrupted her: "I'll pretend I never heard what you just said to me. And don't use your feelings as a topic of conversation."
Qi Yanxue paused for a moment and added, "This will only make it worthless."
Zhu Jianyi watched him walk straight into the villa after he finished speaking. She stood there in a daze for a long time before she realized that this was a disguised rejection of her confession.
It seems like I also took an emotional education class.

Everyone on the first floor started playing party games, and Zhu Wendong took advantage of everyone's distraction to go up to the third floor.
After searching for a while but still couldn't find Zhu Shouwen, she lowered her head and sent him a message, asking where he was.
The other party replied immediately: [Some things just happened, and what I'm talking to you about is not important, I just want to remind you, in case you forget about it.]
Zhu Wendong did not reply to this message. He put away his phone and walked downstairs.
When I walked to the second floor, I found that everyone was playing the most childish game of hide-and-seek, but they added some chips to the game. Those who were caught had to drink three glasses of wine as a punishment.
When Zhu Wendong reached the second floor, the countdown sound that echoed throughout the villa had already reached 20.
Zhu Wendong casually walked into a suite on the second floor.
The countdown reached 10...
9……
There was someone in the suite. Zhu Wendong turned around and wanted to leave, but the man grabbed his wrist and pulled him in, and the door was closed.
5……
With a click, the door was locked.
1……
Someone on the first floor shouted, "Hide and seek has begun, everyone, hide well!"
Zhu Wendong shook off his grip on her wrist and, following the rules of the game, lowered his voice, "What do you mean?"
The palm of his hand still had residual warmth. Qi Yanxue ignored the abnormality, crossed his arms, looked at her calmly, and said word by word: "Kissed, hugged, slept with, is it considered unfamiliar to you?"
"Zhu Wendong, are you an ungrateful person?"
He stared down at her, his tone threatening.
“…”
I've never seen anyone so good at settling accounts.
If you calculate it this way, Qi Yanxue's response at the bar a few days ago was pretty much the same as hers.
Zhu Wendong pressed his back against the door panel and looked up at him: "I don't even know him at your place."
The girl lowered her voice, making her already soft voice even more delicate. Her words were sarcastic, but even when she was angry, they had no killing power.
Qi Yanxue chuckled: "Okay, you win."
If you hold a grudge like this, you can hold it for the rest of your life.
The light in the suite was slanted behind him, his face sunk in the shadows. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, revealing a bit of the sexiness of a male elf. The mole at the corner of his jawline was very close.
"Who wants to beat you?" Zhu Wendong calmly shifted his gaze away and took two steps to the side, a little further away from Qi Yanxue.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, getting closer and closer.
Zhu Wendong's back tensed up and his ears almost stood up.
Being caught playing hide-and-seek now is no longer as simple as drinking. If she is discovered to be with Qi Yanxue, outrageous rumors will probably spread tomorrow that "the eldest daughter of the Zhu family and the second son of the Qi family are preparing to get married."
By then, even ten mouths won’t be able to explain it clearly.
Zhu Wendong was completely focused on the outside of the door, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a hand reaching out to him.
Then everything went dark and the lights were turned off.
The rustling sound of the bed was amplified infinitely in the dark room.
After getting used to the light, Zhu Wendong discovered that Qi Yanxue was half lying on the only large bed in the suite, with her long legs propped up on the side with nowhere to rest.
It was not convenient to question his behavior, so Zhu Wendong turned his eyes away from him and waited quietly for the footsteps outside the door to go away.
She had to find another place to hide. Hiding in the same room with Qi Yanxue would greatly increase the risk.
Zhu Wendong walked to the door in a sweet voice, opened the lock, and slowly turned the door handle like a sloth, opening it a crack.
There was no one outside the door.
She walked out quickly, closed the door again, and prepared to move to another place.
He turned his head and accidentally met the eyes of the arrester who had returned.
Coincidentally, the one who arrested the man was Lu Guanqi.
Lu Guanqi looked at her slyly, "Zhu Wendong, where are you going?"
Zhu Wendong paused in her furtive bending motion. Three seconds later, she straightened up and went downstairs: "I'm going to have a drink."
Very conscious and sensible.
In the pitch-black suite, Qi Yanxue opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, and sat up on the bed with his hands supporting himself. He stared at the place where someone should have been.
Just at this moment, the door was opened and a ray of light came in obliquely.
Qi Yanxue narrowed his eyes in anger.
Lu Guanqi pointed at him proudly: "Qi Yanxue, let me catch—"
"roll."
"Okay."
Lu Guanqi turned around and considerately closed the door for him.
