Chapter 82 Ambiguous Relationship
After listening to Lu Jinzhi's phone call, Qiao Wu roughly understood the situation. Although she didn't know what would happen today, Uncle Lu probably knew about her relationship with Lu Jinzhi and likely disapproved. The reason wasn't hard to guess, since Uncle Lu had always been someone who prioritized personal gain.
But Qiao Wu didn't think it was a big deal.
If she really decides to be with Lu Jinzhi, she won't care what others think, nor will she let those so-called misunderstandings create any distance between them.
The most important thing in a relationship is the relationship itself, not external factors.
Love cannot overcome all difficulties, but love can also overcome all difficulties.
She had never experienced love, but she imagined that love was an overlap of fantasy and reality.
To her surprise, Lu Jinzhi was open and honest with his uncle.
But then I thought about it again, and it makes sense. Who isn't he open and honest with?
Qiao Wu quickly snapped out of her thoughts, smiled, and nodded, "You decide."
Although they go to and from get off work together every day, she and Lu Jinzhi have been very busy lately and haven't had a meal together alone in a long time.
"But I promised Lu Ning I would take her out to play."
Lu Ning, who had shrunk to the size of a quail: "..."
Seeing her second uncle's glance, she trembled slightly, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said tentatively, "Aren't you in a hurry for this day?"
In the end, Lu Jinzhi had someone come and take the kitten back to the hotel first, leaving Lu Ning behind.
He had a gut feeling that if he really drove Lu Ning away, he probably wouldn't stay outside for long today.
Anyway, Lu Ning's brain is pretty much the same as Lu Xuan's, so it doesn't matter how she stays.
Moreover, he worked overtime last night to get here early, so it's possible he might get distracted at times. He also came on short notice without any plans for the activities here, so having Lu Ning around can at least distract Qiao Wu a little.
Although they rode out on electric scooters, they couldn't stay out in the sun all the time. After lunch, Lu Ning played on the public beach for a while, and then Lu Jinzhi had a speedboat brought over. Knowing his condition, he didn't drive the boat himself.
These speedboats are spacious, fast, and have sunshades to keep you from getting sunburned. You can also rest on the sofa when you're tired.
Because the trip had been arranged in advance, Lu Jinzhi had to reply to Xu Chao's messages from time to time. At this time, Qiao Wu sat at the stern of the boat watching the instructor teach Lu Ning how to surf the wakeboard.
Lu Ning really didn't have much talent for languages. The coach explained for a long time, but she still couldn't understand. She couldn't get up from the surfboard, and after finally climbing onto the board, she fell off again a short while later.
After swallowing half a bellyful of seawater, he lay on the board, half-dead: "I need to rest for a bit!"
When family members travel together, there are no time restrictions on their activities; they follow the boss's arrangements throughout the trip.
Seeing this, the coach told the boatman to slow down and pull the young lady up, then turned around and asked, "Miss Qiao, would you like to come?"
Qiao Wu isn't very good at professional surfing, but she can handle wakeboarding. Yesterday, out of concern for Lu Ning's safety, she didn't go into the sea. Now that she's relaxed, she's itching to try it out herself.
"good."
She quickly got dressed and went into the water.
When Lu Jinzhi came out of the lounge after finishing a phone call, he heard shouts and yells outside, which were drowned out by the sea. Lu Ning was holding a camera and lying on the stern of the boat, taking pictures non-stop.
He slightly raised his eyes, his gaze settling steadily on the person at the back of the boat.
The environment is a wonderful thing; he can always see different Qiao Wu in different settings.
I've seen her speeding in cars and driving speedboats.
She was clearly much more disheveled than the previous two times. The seawater had completely soaked her, and the splashes from the surf, under the sunlight, looked like stars falling on her, eventually coalescing into dazzling starlight on her.
She doesn't need a leash to surf; she stands steadily on the board with her toes spread apart and can even ride the waves from time to time. She's incredibly adept at navigating the ocean, and even her instructors are full of praise for her.
No wonder Lu Ning was making such a fuss and took countless photos with her camera.
Lu Jinzhi found that whether he was a child or now, wherever Qiao Wu was, he always felt an urge to compete with her.
He has always tried to peer into her inner world, both in the past and now.
I also want to be like her and do what she does.
Just like right now.
Qiao Wu made a stop gesture in the sea. The coach was about to take the tow rope to pull her onto the boat, but the rope was taken by another slender hand first.
Lu Jinzhi, holding the rope, said, "Get another board."
Some boats offer tandem surfing, provided the riders are skilled.
So the coach turned around and went to get the board.
Lu Jinzhi threw the rope to Qiao Wu, knelt on one knee at the stern of the boat, held one end of the rope, and watched with his eyes down as she slid into the water and slowly swam over along the rope. Then he reached out and put his hand on the boat.
He chuckled, "So you're a mermaid."
Seeing the coach take another board, Qiao Wu looked up and asked, "Are you coming too?"
"Hmm." Lu Jinzhi loosened the rope and began to unbutton his shirt. "Want to join me?"
"But..." Before Qiao Wu could finish nodding, she saw Lu Jinzhi take off his clothes in front of her. Because the two were too close, his abs were right in front of her.
She paused, then looked away: "Why are you taking off your clothes?"
Looking at her bright red ear tips, Lu Jinzhi chuckled: "We can't go back wet."
He put the clothes aside, picked up one end of the rope and gently shook it, while holding Qiao Wu's hand with the other end: "Why such a big reaction? Aren't there many other people on the beach who reacted like me?"
Qiao Wu was flustered by his shaking and dropped the rope: "Are they like you?"
Lu Jinzhi humbly inquired, "How is it different?"
"..."
They won't seize any opportunity to confess their feelings!
Qiao Wu turned his head away, too lazy to pay him any attention.
"Aren't you going to look at me?" Lu Jinzhi persisted.
Lu Ning, who was sitting next to him with a camera in hand, blinked, not understanding but still flattering him: "Second Uncle, none of the people on the beach are as tall or as handsome as you!"
This was the first time Lu Jinzhi had heard such pleasant words from a child, so he casually raised his hand and ruffled her hair.
Then Lu Ning said, "But there were three like you yesterday, and Qiao Wu didn't see them, so you don't need to feel inferior."
Lu Jinzhi: "..."
He withdrew his hand.
Sure enough, you can't expect a person born from a single gene to say anything nice.
He stepped into the water from the edge of the boat, and as he turned back to grab the plank, he murmured with admiration, "Wuwu has such good composure."
Then his gaze shifted to her earlobe, and he asked with a hint of doubt, "Then why is it red here?"
“Lu Jinzhi.” Qiao Wu finally turned his gaze to him. After seeing his unrestrained gaze, he raised an eyebrow. “Never mind if I didn’t warn you, Lu Yingchi, who was showing off yesterday, is now as tanned as Zhang Fei. He doesn’t even dare to get out of bed.”
Lu Jinzhi was not surprised at all: "It fits his persona."
"Don't worry," he said with a smile. "I can tell the difference between being looked at once and being looked at many times."
It was just the tail end of a wave, and besides, he was already at the beach soon, having made preparations before boarding the plane.
He never lets himself suffer.
This time, the two of them held the rope together.
While the coach and the boat master were discussing, Lu Jinzhi looked around along the rope and suddenly a scene he had never seen before popped into his mind.
Noticing his gaze, Qiao Wu turned around: "What?"
Since it hadn't started yet, both of them were suspended on the board, facing each other.
Lu Jinzhi's body was submerged in the water, but his exposed arms were still very white from the water's luster, and the muscle lines were not as visually striking as those of Lu Xuan and Lu Yingchi, who had deliberately trained.
But the thin muscles are just right, and they also have a strong presence.
Of the three Lu brothers, only Lu Jinzhi is a lazybones. Qiao Wu finds it hard to believe that someone like that can maintain his physique.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, food and sex are human nature.
She subconsciously pays more attention to good-looking people, but unlike admiring Lu Xuan's beauty, Lu Jinzhi in front of her is someone with whom she has a romantic entanglement.
Only then did Qiao Wu realize how big a hole Lu Jinzhi had dug for her.
If Lu Jinzhi were still the same Lu Jinzhi, she wouldn't feel anything even if he stripped naked here today.
But this was Lu Jinzhi who liked her, so she always tried to relate his behavior and words to romantic feelings, to the point that even her appetite and sexual desires had taken on a different flavor. His exposed skin and his gaze were hotter than the sun overhead, making her body and face burn.
At this moment, Lu Jinzhi no longer displayed the probing and teasing he had when he deliberately took off his clothes; instead, he seemed more serious.
There was no wind or waves; his hair hung down wetly, and his pupils were pitch black.
It possesses a tranquil yet alluring quality that draws you in.
Lu Jinzhi gently hooked the rope in front of them with his fingertip, and asked with a smile, "Do you prefer a Chinese wedding or a Western wedding?"
"..."
Qiao Wu slapped his hand back, splashing all the seawater from his palm onto Lu Jinzhi's face: "This is just a rope."
The latter, despite being splashed with water, still laughed heartily, his face gently pressed against the water's surface: "Oops, I'm getting off-topic."
His answer was that Qiao Wu swam to a more distant place while holding the board.
The instructor gave an OK sign on the boat, indicating that we could begin.
The underachiever, lying on the stern of the boat, focused his camera on the two people on the water. As the boat started moving, they stood on the plank and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Compared to Qiao Wu, Lu Ning knew even less about her second uncle.
Because she felt that although her second uncle always smiled and seemed easy to get along with, he was more difficult to frighten and more unpredictable than Lu Xuan and Lu Yingchi.
But whenever she saw her second uncle and Qiao Wu together, she felt that her second uncle was actually quite easy to guess.
Very direct feelings of happiness and unhappiness.
Just like at this moment, she could clearly feel that her second uncle was very happy.
Although she was somewhat reluctant to admit it, in Lu Ning's heart, her second uncle was indeed the most powerful person in the family, and somewhat aloof.
But being in the same frame as Qiao Wu at this moment gave him a warmth he didn't usually have, making him seem more approachable.
The two on the sea don't need the coach to say anything; their movements are always perfectly synchronized. They glance at each other from time to time, and a smile can be seen in the corners of their eyes. Every photo taken is perfect.
Lu Ning rarely saw anyone who could stand beside her second uncle without being suppressed, and similarly, she rarely saw anyone who could be so calm and composed when dealing with Qiao Wu.
So it's understandable that she couldn't understand what the two of them were saying!
Lu Yingchi said this morning that Uncle Shen is not good enough for Qiao Wu.
"配" should mean the same thing as in her shots.
Lu Ning was satisfied with the many pictures she had taken and decided to put the camera aside and enjoy them properly.
But the stern was full of water, and even with anti-slip treatment, when she put down her camera and turned around, a jolt caused her to lose her balance and fall straight down from behind.
Qiao Wu was startled, but before he could react, he acted rationally and immediately steered the swingboard away from the front. Otherwise, the consequences of colliding with Lu Ning would have been unimaginable.
When she adjusted the direction, dropped the plank, and looked back, the boat had already stopped, and the sea was no longer very rough.
Lu Ning, who was being held down by Lu Jinzhi, clung tightly to him with both hands and feet, her face covered in what looked like water or tears.
Lu Jinzhi's plank was not far away from him, and he was blocked behind him. It must have been Lu Jinzhi who jumped down to block it.
Qiao Wu was somewhat stunned.
As for Lu Ning, her mind went completely blank when she fell into the water. She didn't realize what had happened at all. When she regained consciousness, she was already floating in the sea. The water splashed out by the speedboat made her face and body hurt terribly. She frantically struggled in the sea.
"Aaaaaah! Help! I'm going to die!"
"No, my Wuwu isn't grown up yet, the final exam results haven't come out, and I haven't done my job well enough."
Then she was pulled over by a large hand. In a daze, she saw her second uncle's face and, without caring about anything else, she grabbed him.
"Second Uncle, I can't die yet, I'm only thirteen years old."
Lu Jinzhi ripped the person off his body, his face cold: "I think you want me dead."
Without any hesitation, he encircled Lu Ning's hands, flipped her over like a turtle shell, and laid her on her back on the sea surface, then lifted her life jacket: "Be quiet."
It was only then that Lu Ning realized she had been wearing a life jacket the whole time.
Oh, so you can't die.
She sniffed and lay down obediently.
Then, remembering that she had almost drowned her second uncle by holding him underwater, she was so frightened that she quickly looked up and cried out, "Second Uncle!"
Lu Jinzhi hooked her life jacket in front of her and pulled her to the side of the boat: "Mm."
"That's great." Lu Ning's tears started falling again. "You're not dead, sob sob sob."
Lu Jinzhi paused for two seconds, then couldn't help but turn around and tug at her mouth: "This mouth is quite auspicious, it's a pity it can talk."
The coach apologized on the boat while helping to lift the little turtle onto the shore, but Lu Jinzhi remained motionless in the water, slapping away Lu Ning, who reached out to pull him ashore: "Noisy, get in there quickly."
Lu Ning didn't dare to say anything and dejectedly entered the lounge.
Qiao Wu slowly swam to Lu Jinzhi's side, frowning: "Are you alright?"
As long as the board didn't hit Lu Ning, Lu Ning would be fine, so she instinctively moved the board away.
But Lu Jinzhi was just too close.
"Something's wrong." Lu Jinzhi smiled gently at her. "Waaah, give me a hand."
Whether he was telling the truth or not, Qiao Wu still boarded the boat and extended his hand first.
Lu Jinzhi held her tightly, but not with much force. Instead, he used his other hand to support himself on the stern and flipped himself up. He then grabbed a piece of clothing that was lying to the side and was about to put it on.
But this time the movement was stopped halfway through.
Her cool fingertips pressed against his lower back, and her voice turned cold as well: "Lu Jinzhi, did you bump into something?"
How could someone be completely unharmed after such a powerful impact?
His lower back was bruised.
Lu Jinzhi chuckled, turned around and pressed her hand down, quickly putting on his clothes: "You'll have to take responsibility if you touch me."
"Be poor."
Qiao Wu lifted his clothes to check again, but Lu Jinzhi stopped her and said gently, "It's nothing."
"Lu Jinzhi." Qiao Wu tugged at his clothes, refusing to let go. "Now you have a chance to make me feel sorry for you."
Lu Jinzhi gently curved his lips into a smile.
I originally had this plan, but after thinking about it, I realized that it's enough to care for just one person.
He couldn't bear to part with it.
Seeing that he still wouldn't let go, Qiao Wu said, "Then you don't need to ask me next time."
Lu Jinzhi glanced sideways and saw the unyielding look in her eyes. After several seconds, her dark eyes seemed to fill with starlight, and he sighed softly.
The next second he leaned down and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
"Ouch, it hurts a little."
Using this position, Qiao Wu could lift his clothes and see his waist: "Go back and see a doctor."
"In a little while." Lu Jinzhi let her leave her cool body on his skin, but raised his other hand and gently touched her cheek. "I brought you to see the sunset."
Qiao Wu was slightly taken aback.
The pressure on her face wasn't strong, but she turned her head and saw the warm yellow light shining on the sea.
"Are you crazy?" She couldn't quite describe her feelings; she just stared intently at the sunlight and whispered, "Is this the time to appreciate the scenery?"
Lu Jinzhi: "Let's watch for a while, just for a little while."
Before Qiao Wu could speak again...
He then said with a smile, "My original plan was to confess my feelings to you at this time."
Qiao Wu's breath hitched for a moment: "You confess your love every day."
"no the same."
Lu Jinzhi leaned on her shoulder and saw her hair dripping with water. He felt an inexplicable urge to reach out and catch the drop of water.
Qiao Wu saw everything he did, and she saw him close his palms together, making her heart feel like it was being gripped.
Lu Jinzhi said slowly, "The confession at the hotel was just to express my feelings."
"So what's today?"
"It's nothing, it's just suitable."
Qiao Wu didn't understand.
Lu Jinzhi, who was perched on her shoulder, suddenly moved. He raised his head, supporting himself on one hand beside her, looking at her profile half-lit by the setting sun, and then met her gaze.
"I want to confess my feelings in many places and in many suitable situations," he chuckled, "so that you can hear and feel it at all times."
At this moment, Qiao Wu actually forgot that he was still injured, and his mind went blank.
She sat quietly in front of him, almost completely enveloped by half of his body.
"Waaah." As he had said, Lu Jinzhi confessed to her with a smile under the setting sun, his eyes revealing his deep affection. "I like you very much."
Qiao Wu's body went numb from his voice, and for a moment he couldn't find any words to respond.
It took her a long time before she moved her hands, and her shoulders slumped slightly.
“Lu Jinzhi.” She smiled. “You’re so clingy.”
He clung to her tightly, giving her no room to breathe, and any slight loosening would be exploited by him to press himself firmly against her.
They exploited her weaknesses while relying on her strengths, using both soft and hard tactics to make her inescapable.
She can never be rational or composed.
"I'm not taking you back to the hotel." She pulled Lu Jinzhi's clothes up. "We're going to the hospital."
Having done what needed to be done, Lu Jinzhi wouldn't waste any more time here. After all, that bump had been quite hard. He grunted and moved away.
Seeing Qiao Wu get up and walk towards the boatman, he smiled.
She unblocked Lu Jiang and sent him a message in a great mood.
Thanks.
After sending the message, I blocked the person again.
Although the intention was bad, how can this not be considered a good deed?
Waaah, it seems like there's no bottom line anymore.
Inside the hotel at this moment.
Lu Jinzhi said he wouldn't come, and he really didn't. His phone was completely unreachable. After seeing that message, Lu Jiang was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.
He knew that if he called Qiao Wu at this moment, he would definitely be hung up by the second brother, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
On the one hand, she felt that the two children were not suitable to be together, and on the other hand, she felt that the second son's wicked nature might really lead him to do something stupid, and she might just take Qiao Wu away and fly away for two or five years.
Then tell him, "I'll calculate when you'll die and then come back."
He was truly thankful to God.
After much deliberation, Lu Jiang was truly at a loss, and even his attitude towards the Shen family father and son who came to his door was somewhat apologetic.
"So this is the old housekeeper who's been with your family for so many years?" Mr. Shen naturally steered the conversation. "I heard your daughter is here too, where is she?"
Ever since Qiao Zhiyi found out that this young man was after his daughter, he couldn't stand him. He laughed it off and said, "You are guests, so the younger generation won't interfere."
Before Shen's father could speak, Lu Jiang continued, "She and my second son took my granddaughter out to play. Young people are always out having fun and don't know when they'll be back. We don't care about them."
Second child?
Mr. Shen was stunned for a moment.
Is Lu Jinzhi the kind of person who leads people around?
"Lu Jinzhi is back?" Lu Yingchi frowned, his face sour the whole time. "Wasn't he supposed to be back tomorrow? And why didn't they take me with them when they went out to play?"
Lu Jiang said with exasperation, "All you do is play around! Use your brains!"
Lu Yingchi looked bewildered: "Why are you cursing me?"
He's the one who's being isolated!
"Yes." Even Qiao Zhiyi was puzzled. "It seems the second young master didn't go back to the hotel; he went out to play directly?"
Facing Qiao Zhiyi, Lu Jiang felt a little guilty and poured him a glass of wine: "We don't care about children's affairs. As long as the child is happy, that's all that matters. The second son has been working for so long, it's normal for him to go out and have some fun, right?"
“Indeed.” Qiao Zhiyi nodded, then quickly added, “Sir, you don’t need to be so polite, I can do it myself.”
Lu Jiangxin thought to himself, "You can't do this yourself."
If she gets angry and runs away with her daughter, things will get even more chaotic.
He sighed silently: "We're all family, let's not talk about these things."
Everyone had their own ulterior motives while eating the meal.
After walking out the door, Shen's father said to his good-for-nothing son, "Give up on that idea."
Shen Yan was still disappointed at not seeing Qiao Wu, and upon hearing this, he retorted, "Why?"
“Don’t you know what kind of person your Uncle Lu is? Do you think he doesn’t know why we’re here? If he had any intention of stopping Qiao Wu from coming out, he wouldn’t have done so,” said Father Shen. “And look at his attitude towards that old butler.”
Lu Jiang is pouring drinks for people?
Mr. Shen turned to look at his foolish son: "What is the relationship between Qiao Wu and Lu Jinzhi?"
"My friend."
"But you said Qiao Wu likes someone more capable than her, so wouldn't Lu Jinzhi be just right?"
Shen Yan refused to admit it, saying, "He has a sharp tongue."
"Is he verbally abusive towards Qiao Wu?"
"..."
Shen Yan had no idea.
Last time at the beach, Lu Jinzhi tricked him out of 500,000 yuan and was taught a lesson by Qiao Wu, but it seems he didn't say anything.
Thinking about how he was still on the blacklist, Shen Yan had a vague sense of unease.
Damn, was Lu Jinzhi jealous that day?
He took out his phone and texted Qiao Wu, subtly asking where she was and whether she wanted to go out together later.
Qiao Wu quickly replied, "I have something to do today."
It seems normal.
Shen Yan asked again, "Are you with Lu Jinzhi?"
Qiao Wu: "Mm."
Shen Yan typed rapidly, probing frantically: "Are you two still friends?"
This time, the other end was a bit late.
Shen Yan was so anxious and restless that he could hardly contain himself.
Several minutes later, instead of receiving a reply from Qiao Wu, he received a message from Lu Jinzhi.
Lu Jinzhi: "Not friends."
Lu Jinzhi: "I'm the one pursuing her."
"..."
Shen Yan's hand trembled.
He closed his eyes, only to find that it wasn't his imagination.
"Dad," he asked absentmindedly, "how much is our hotel per night?"
Father Shen was too lazy to pay attention to his stupid son.
At the other end of the hospital, Qiao Wu watched as Lu Jinzhi skillfully removed people from the blacklist and then added them back, and he almost laughed.
People like Lu Jinzhi are really strange.
Logically speaking, given his personality, it's understandable that Qin Lian and Shen Yan hate him to the core.
Even now, their relationship is actually quite delicate.
They might not like each other, but they wouldn't really hate each other that much. They openly express their dissatisfaction with each other, but when it comes to crucial moments, they still do what they're supposed to do.
But considering that Lu Jinzhi went directly off the plane to pick up Lu Ning today, Qiao Wu felt it was understandable.
He may be unforgiving and hold grudges, but he's actually quite reliable when it comes to important matters.
Lu Ning is his niece, and given this relationship, he might subconsciously care more about Lu Ning's safety than she does.
Perhaps he was just arguing with Qin Lian or Shen Yan.
But we will still cooperate with the Qin family and continue to teach Shen Yan.
So others can also see things clearly.
Qiao Wu lowered her eyes and finally understood why Lu Jinzhi wouldn't let her go back today. In the past, he would get jealous because of the nickname "Wuwu," but today he was very calm.
She chuckled: "Why didn't you tell me?"
She had nothing to do with Shen Yan, and even if she ate this meal today, it wouldn't change anything, so she didn't care.
But Lu Jinzhi still made a point of informing others.
Lu Jinzhi put away his phone: "If anyone should be under pressure, it should be him."
In Lu Jinzhi's mind, competing with others is his own business and has nothing to do with Qiao Wu. She doesn't need to know, so asking him to put himself on the same level as others and tell her to make a choice is a rather stupid thing to do.
He only wants one option.
At this moment, Lu Ning, who had volunteered to fetch the medicine, had already run back, so Qiao Wu remained silent.
Since Lu Jinzhi was injured, the three of them naturally could not continue riding back, and instead had a driver pick them up.
Lu Ning eagerly ran over and took over the driver's job, opening the car door: "Second Uncle, hurry up and get in!"
Lu Jinzhi glanced at her, but still went upstairs.
Then Lu Ning climbed in by herself: "Second Uncle, let me tell you how to use these medicines!"
Lu Jinzhi, who watched helplessly as Qiao Wu got into the passenger seat, was speechless.
He narrowed his eyes, interrupting Lu Ning's chatter, and raised his hand to press down on her head: "Where's the switch?"
Lu Ning didn't move, looking bewildered: "Huh?"
Lu Jinzhi patted the back of her head and said calmly, "Turn off the light."
Lu Ning: "?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Qiao Wu couldn't help but chuckle.
My second uncle is saying her head is glowing again!
Out of consideration for the fact that he had saved her life, Lu Ning swallowed her anger and kept quiet, but she remained silent as long as her second uncle did not want her to speak.
Having been separated by some distance, Lu Jinzhi was unable to say anything more.
Without Lu Ning's voice, the car became quiet.
When Qiao Wu turned around again, he found that Lu Jinzhi had closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
She didn't need to think too much to know that Lu Jinzhi had disrupted his original plans because of Shen Yan's matter, and must have done all the work in advance.
I met Shen Yan last night. He stayed up all night and then spent the whole day cycling and surfing.
Qiao Wu's gaze lingered on that face for a moment before he took out his phone.
She hadn't replied to Shen Yan's subsequent messages since Lu Jinzhi had gotten there first.
Before Lu Jinzhi confessed his feelings, she had thought about contacting and developing relationships with anyone, but now, after looking at the chat box for a while, she suddenly realized...
If it weren't Shen Yan, but someone else who showed interest and confessed their feelings, she wouldn't have been able to maintain her original mindset.
Lu Jinzhi clung to her so tightly that she couldn't get close to anyone else.
She became so attached that her standards kept dropping, and she started to resist other people.
Although the matter of [illegible] was Lu Jinzhi's affair, for her, she also needed to have a clear direction when dealing with a potential partner.
After a long while, she typed two lines on the screen.
"Not friends."
"It's an ambiguous relationship."
