After Huang Ying's matter came to an end, Zhu Qinghao originally did not intend to tell Sheng Yi that it was related to her, but he somehow found out about it.
That day, Zhu Qinghao was leisurely roasting chestnuts at home when Sheng Yi rushed in.
Zhu Qinghao turned around, looking at him with a blank expression, her mouth still full of the chestnut she had just stuffed in.
Seeing that Sheng Yi was panting heavily from running, she quickly took out the chestnuts.
"What's wrong? Why are you running so fast? Is the army urging you to go back?"
Seeing that she was alright there, Sheng Yi seemed to relax a lot. He adjusted his breathing before going inside.
"Not yet, but I've heard some things."
He stared intently at Zhu Qinghao, his eyes filled with lingering fear.
"What's wrong? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Although it was a question, she was quite certain in her heart. She pulled him to sit down and handed him a few freshly roasted chestnuts.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Try this first."
This action inexplicably relieved Sheng Yi's anxiety.
He accepted the chestnuts she offered, feeling both amused and exasperated, and even considered peeling one and putting it in his mouth.
And he did just that, because Zhu Qinghao's gaze clearly showed that she was expecting him to try one and then comment on whether she had baked it well or not.
"How is it? Is it delicious? I specially baked the outermost layer of crust until it was crispy, and it tastes really good."
Sheng Yi carefully tasted the food and then gave a serious review:
"It's really good, much tastier than boiled food, I like it."
Zhu Qinghao was naturally very happy to receive the approval, but she didn't forget that she had given Sheng Yi chestnuts, just to calm him down and make him less anxious.
Now that the goal has been achieved, we can naturally start asking what exactly happened.
"I'm glad you like it. Why were you running so fast just now? What's wrong?"
Sheng Yi was no longer in a hurry. After drinking some water, he carefully asked the question that he had been eager to know the answer to.
"Alright, you know about Huang Ying and those two He brothers, right?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Zhu Qinghao's eyes, then she nodded.
"I know, all the aunties in the team are talking about it, but the versions are all over the place, and everyone has their own version of what they're saying, so we don't know which one is true."
Upon hearing this answer, Sheng Yi's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Zhu Qinghao found his behavior even stranger.
He did it, but logically no one should know, not even the person involved, who should only have a moment of suspicion.
What's the reason behind Sheng Yi's expression?
"What's wrong? Why are you worrying about them?"
Sheng Yi forced a smile, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"It's nothing. I don't want to worry about them. What do their affairs have to do with me? I just heard someone say that the two He brothers were originally after you. Did you know about that?"
When Sheng Yi asked this question, he stared intently at Zhu Qinghao, wanting to see her reaction.
Zhu Qing saw the look in her eyes and knew she couldn't lie about this, so she nodded honestly.
However, before Sheng Yi could ask any further questions, she threw out her own question first.
"May I ask where you heard this from?"
Sheng Yi hadn't intended to hide it, so he immediately nodded.
"It was Huang Ying. She stopped me on the street a while ago, probably to confess her feelings."
