After the group left the office, Zhang Ming's demeanor was completely different from when he had just entered. He didn't even dare to look in Fu Xiuhan's direction, for fear that Fu Xiuhan would make things difficult for him.
If he had known earlier that Shi Qian and Fu Xiuhan were so close, he wouldn't have dared to target Shi Qian even if he had ten times the courage. He disliked Shi Qian, but he was also smart enough to know who he could mess with and who he couldn't.
The injuries on his body hurt a lot, but none of them were as bad as the headache Zhang Ming was experiencing right now. He figured they had made an enemy of him today, and he could only pray that Fu Xiuhan wasn't the type to hold grudges and that this matter would end here without any further repercussions.
He remembered Shi Qian's debt. Although he didn't know why Fu Xiuhan would help him, he didn't believe that the two could stay on such good terms forever. He would wait until Fu Xiuhan abandoned Shi Qian, and that would be the best time for him to take revenge.
A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years; there's still plenty of time, and I still have a chance.
When Shi Qian and Fu Xiuhan returned to the classroom, the classmates gathered around, gossiping about the outcome of the matter.
Zhang Ming made such a big fuss, the forum was buzzing with discussion. Some said Zhang Ming deliberately caused trouble for Shi Qian, some said Shi Qian beat Zhang Ming up like that, and some even guessed that Zhang Ming had taken a liking to Shi Qian and tried to force himself on her but failed...
There are many different opinions, and all sorts of explanations are available.
Fu Xiuhan, fearing that everyone would disturb Shi Qian, directly told everyone to be quiet. The students in the class were all a little afraid of Fu Xiuhan, and after Fu Xiuhan shouted like that, how could they dare to discuss anything? So they all sat back in their seats, lowered their heads, and started typing frantically on their phones, hoping that some kind-hearted person would get a piece of the juicy gossip.
Shi Qian didn't say anything and sat back in his seat. Meng Qing didn't come to class today. Was she late?
Meng Qing didn't come to class until the afternoon classes ended, and Shi Qian guessed that she must have asked for leave.
Is he sick? But he was perfectly fine when I saw him yesterday. Could something have happened?
Shi Qian cursed himself for overthinking. What was he worrying about? Meng Qing was the main character here, what could possibly happen to her? He should be worrying about his own safety instead of worrying about the main character.
Shi Qian didn't want to attend evening self-study and wanted to go back to the dormitory early to discuss what to do next. She packed her things and prepared to leave when she looked up and met Fu Xiuhan's hesitant eyes.
What is Fu Xiuhan up to now? Shi Qian is finding it increasingly difficult to understand Fu Xiuhan.
Fu Xiuhan looked at Shi Qian pitifully and asked, "Are you angry with me?"
Shi Qian was baffled. What was going on now?
Fu Xiuhan continued, "Because of the fact that I secretly followed you, I swear I really didn't do it on purpose. I just saw you leaving the school late at night with your backpack and I got curious. By the time I realized it, I had already followed you out of the school."
Fu Xiuhan spoke sincerely, almost as if he were swearing to the heavens that if he had told a single lie, he would be struck by lightning.
Shi Qian realized what Fu Xiuhan was thinking. He was indeed very angry when he first found out that Fu Xiuhan had been following him so early, but considering that Fu Xiuhan had been nice to him these past few days and had helped him in the office today, Shi Qian felt that there was no need to hold a grudge.
The incident has already happened and been resolved. Fu Xiuhan, by a twist of fate, has also helped me test the plot. There's no need for me to dwell on this now.
"Yes, I really don't like being followed secretly; it makes me very uncomfortable." Although Shi Qian didn't intend to make a fuss, she still wanted to be clear. "However, you helped me in the office, so I'll let it go this time. Thank you."
Although Shi Qian felt he could handle it on his own, it would just be more troublesome. While denying it would leave Zhang Ming helpless, Zhang Ming would inevitably continue to pester him. However, if Shi Fuxiuhan made a move, Zhang Ming would definitely not be able to get close to him again in the short term.
Fu Xiuhan did him a big favor, giving him some peace and quiet during this time.
When Fu Xiuhan heard Shi Qian say earlier that he didn't like it and felt uncomfortable, his heart skipped a beat, fearing that Shi Qian would hold him accountable. But when he heard Shi Qian say later that he wouldn't hold it against him, his heart calmed down.
Moreover, Shi Qian thanked him, which made Fu Xiuhan feel a little embarrassed. Shi Qian was being too formal.
He completely forgot that the two were not very close classmates, and he didn't need to be afraid of Shi Qian settling scores with him. The person in Yan City who could hold him accountable probably hadn't been born yet.
Shi Qian's position in Fu Xiuhan's heart grew more and more important without him realizing it.
When he returned to the dormitory, Meng Qing's door was still closed, just as it had been when he left in the morning. The living room was also unchanged. Had Meng Qing not come out at all today?
Although Shi Qian was puzzled, he thought it was better to avoid trouble, so he washed up and went back to his room to rest.
He woke up hungry in the middle of the night and realized he had forgotten to eat dinner. He searched his room for a long time but couldn't find anything to eat. He remembered that there was a bag of opened biscuits in the living room that he hadn't finished. He thought he could make do with a couple of biscuits and some water.
To his surprise, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Meng Qing coming out of the bathroom, her hair still wet, a towel half-covering her head. The room was heated, and Meng Qing was wearing a simple white T-shirt and shorts. Shi Qian subconsciously glanced at his watch; it was 3:30 in the morning.
Taking a shower at this time?
Meng Qing was surprised that Shi Qian would come out at this time. She forgot to continue drying her hair and let the water drip down. Shi Qian watched the water drip from Meng Qing's chin, down her neck to her collarbone, and finally disappear into her clothes.
"Can't you sleep?" Meng Qing asked first.
"No, I'm just hungry," Shi Qian answered honestly. There was no point in being dishonest; his rumbling stomach had already betrayed him.
Meng Qing frowned. "Didn't you have dinner?"
"I forgot." Shi Qian really didn't remember. During the days he was injured, either Fu Xiuhan or Meng Qing brought him food. Suddenly, neither of them brought him food anymore, so he forgot.
Habits are indeed a terrible thing.
"I have a few packets of instant noodles left. Do you want some? If so, I'll cook them together. I'm hungry too."
"good."
Shi Qian did not refuse; instant noodles were much more filling than biscuits.
Meng Qing quickly dried her hair, then picked up the small pot from the living room, placed it on the induction cooker that Fu Xiuhan had brought a few days ago, and started cooking noodles.
Would you like some eggs?
"want."
The conversation between the two was simple. Shi Qian sat in the chair and watched Fu Xiuhan skillfully cook instant noodles. The rising steam partially obscured Meng Qing's face. Shi Qian suddenly thought that Meng Qing was really good-looking. No wonder she was the protagonist, her looks were amazing.
The gaze moved down to Meng Qing's exposed arms, revealing well-defined muscles and a hint of her pectoral muscles; she had a good figure.
When Meng Qing put the cooked noodles into a bowl and placed it in front of Shi Qian, Shi Qian's eyes were still blatantly following Meng Qing, and he could almost see her abs.
"Is it pretty?" Meng Qing asked.
