They both spoke at the same time, and then stopped at the same time because of what the other said.
"You go first?"
"Then you go first?"
Once again, everyone spoke in unison, and Zhu Qinghao could no longer hold back, bursting out laughing.
"Brother Sheng Yi, why don't you go first?"
Seeing Zhu Qinghao's radiant smile, Sheng Yi smiled too, but firmly shook his head.
"Haohao is a woman and should have priority, so let Haohao speak first, and I'll speak after you're done."
However, Zhu Qinghao had calmed down considerably by this time and was completely unable to say what she had just wanted to say.
And when she calmed down, she was shocked by her own thoughts. She had actually wanted to ask Sheng Yi if he liked her.
It was just a spur-of-the-moment thought when I wasn't thinking straight, and now that the topic has been steered away, it's absolutely impossible to get her to ask it again.
Sheng Yi saw her expression pause for a moment, then her beautiful big eyes blinked a few times, and finally she looked at him innocently.
"Brother Sheng Yi, I forgot what I was going to say... Why don't you go first? Let me see if I can remember it after I hear what you say?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhu Qinghao wanted to slap herself. She could have just said something casually and moved on, but she ended up making up such an excuse. She was really speechless.
After hearing what she said, Sheng Yi's initial anticipation vanished, but seeing Zhu Qinghao's frustrated expression, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Okay, it's alright, I'll go first."
"Okay, okay, I have to go take care of some personal matters this time. It's a last-minute decision, and I didn't mean to hide it from you."
But I didn't tell you beforehand, which is indeed my fault. However, I still hope you won't be angry, okay?
Zhu Qinghao wasn't originally angry about this, but suddenly she felt a little uneasy knowing that only one of them had to leave early.
Now that she's heard such a sincere apology, and that there really was something wrong, how could she still be angry?
“Brother Sheng Yi, I’m not angry, and I won’t be. I just felt the news was a bit sudden and my mind didn’t process it for a moment. Don’t feel guilty.”
"If you have anything to take care of, just go ahead. I'll take care of Grandpa Sheng. I'll visit him often. And if anything comes up, I'll let you know. Don't worry."
Zhu Qinghao's words were somewhat unexpected to Sheng Yi, but upon reflection, they seemed to be within his expectations.
"Yes, I was narrow-minded. We are both very gentle, generous, and understanding. How could I have thought you would be angry? Now, quickly apologize. I wonder if it's too late?"
In that instant, the somewhat serious atmosphere was shattered.
Zhu Qinghao relaxed considerably and pretended to be arrogant.
"Hmm, since you sincerely repented and realized your mistake in time, I'll forgive you~"
"Then I would be extremely grateful."
"Hahahahaha..."
Seeing that it was getting late, Sheng Yi didn't stay long. After agreeing on a time to go up the mountain together the next day, he got up and left.
Before leaving, he even offered to take the stir-fried green peppers and shredded pork and minced pork and diced potatoes he had prepared earlier to the cowshed.
Zhu Qing thought about it for a moment and did not refuse. She got up, picked up a bowl, and prepared to share with him, but he stopped her.
"It's too late, you should get some rest. I'll go. Besides, you don't need to take it all, right? Why not keep some for yourself?"
Zhu Qinghao thought about it for a moment, then shook her head.
"Take them all over there. It's even more inconvenient for them to cook, especially things with a strong smell. They always have to be very careful."
