Cheng Yuesheng was stretching seriously after her morning run. Qin Heque stood beside her, occasionally correcting her movements.
Physical contact between the two was inevitable, but Qin Heque was very gentlemanly and would let go after a light touch.
But even so, Cheng Yuesheng felt as if his fingers carried an electric current. The places he touched felt tingling, and her heartbeat, which had been gradually calming down, accelerated, beating like a drum.
Qin Heque noticed that the girl in front of him was distracted, so he reminded her: "Shengsheng, what are you thinking about? You need to change your moves."
Cheng Yuesheng raised her head suddenly, and when she did, she realized that they were very close to each other, and a warm breath fell on her cheek.
Their eyes intertwined and their breaths overlapped, as if there was an invisible force pulling the two of them together, making them unable to look away from each other's eyes.
Suddenly, the two were awakened by the sound of something falling. They immediately separated and looked towards the sound at the same time.
"S-Sorry..." The culprit apologized hurriedly.
Cheng Yuesheng saw his appearance clearly and found that it was the man he met yesterday. "Why is it you?"
"Do you know him?" Qin Heque narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person with a hint of coldness in his brows. He didn't expect that Cheng Yuesheng actually knew this strange man.
The man in front of me seemed to be a resident of the community, and his attire made it obvious that he came here for morning exercise.
And Qin Heque noticed that his eyes were always on Cheng Yuesheng.
"I don't know him. I met him in the supermarket yesterday." Cheng Yuesheng denied.
"We kind of know each other, at least we know each other's names." Lu Zecheng's tone sounded a little pitiful.
"That was just a chance encounter." Cheng Yuesheng said.
"Did you tell him your name?" Qin Heque's eyes immediately turned cold, and his originally bright facial features became stern and full of aggressiveness.
Cheng Yuesheng realized later that he seemed to have done something wrong.
She shrank her neck and responded weakly, "Yeah."
Lu Zecheng frowned as he watched them speak. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he said gently, "Why are you so serious with Miss Cheng? I'm not a bad person."
"Bad guys won't admit they are bad guys." Qin Heque stared at Lu Zecheng with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through his skin to see what was inside.
"This is such a huge misunderstanding. I have absolutely no bad intentions towards this lady. We just met by chance. We live in the same community, we know each other's names, and walked together for a while." Lu Zecheng narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming very dissatisfied with Qin Heque's words.
"It's better if you say so. If it's a misunderstanding, I will apologize to you." He looked at Lu Zecheng with an increasingly cold expression, his eyes ambiguous.
"Sir, your desire to control your girlfriend is too strong. Can't she get to know other people besides you? Does she need your permission to make friends with others?" Lu Zecheng frowned, his tone quite aggressive.
Qin Heque said, not to be outdone: "She doesn't need my permission to make friends with anyone, but I have the right to prevent people with bad intentions from approaching her."
Lu Zecheng clenched his fists, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Qin Heque.
Cheng Yuesheng tugged at Qin Heque's sleeve, then took his hand and said, "We're done with our training, it's time to go back."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, it's getting late. We'll leave first." Cheng Yuesheng said hello and pulled Qin Heque away without looking back.
The two of them walked forward, and no one noticed that Lu Zecheng, who was left behind, had a very ugly expression on his face.
After walking for several hundred meters, Cheng Yuesheng told how she and Lu Zecheng met.
"Yesterday, I went to the supermarket in the community to buy ingredients for dinner, but I didn't see anything suitable, so I went to the supermarket outside the community. I accidentally bumped into him with my cart, and later I found out that I had seen him in the supermarket in the community as well, so that's how I got to know him." Cheng Yuesheng explained.
After listening to Cheng Yuesheng's explanation, Qin Heque still remained silent.
This made Cheng Yuesheng feel a little uneasy, as Qin Heque had never been like this before.
"At first I thought he was weird, and then I told him that my boyfriend was waiting for me to come home from get off work to eat the meal I cooked. After we bought things at the supermarket, we walked together for a while back to the community, and then we separated. He lived in the building diagonally opposite us." Cheng Yuesheng continued to explain.
Qin Heque said in a cold tone: "You even know where he lives."
Cheng Yuesheng said hurriedly, "No, because I arrived downstairs of our house first, and then I was afraid that he had bad intentions, so I stood at the door and didn't leave. I watched him walk to the building diagonally opposite."
When Qin Heque heard her say the three words "our family", the depression in his heart was gradually dissipating.
But he still advised Cheng Yuesheng: "Be more alert when you meet strangers in the future, especially strange men."
He felt unhappy when he thought of the look in the man's eyes when he looked at Cheng Yuesheng. It was the first time he felt this emotion so directly.
I feel sad and depressed, and not very comfortable.
"I'm not saying that I'm restricting you from making new friends, I just hope you'll be wary of the opposite sex." Qin Heque explained. After all, in the eyes of many people, Cheng Yuesheng is a weak and easily deceived person, and she can easily become a prey in the eyes of some men.
After thinking for a while, he added, "The same applies to homosexuals."
After all, she was still sad about the attitude of her college classmate towards her at the holiday villa.
Cheng Yuesheng immediately agreed: "I understand. I am not that naive. I will not believe everyone's words."
But in Qin Heque's heart, she is just a simple and pitiful little girl who is treated indifferently by her adoptive parents. She has always felt inferior because of her "illegitimate daughter" identity, so Qin Heque is worried that she will be deceived by others' kindness to her.
Qin Heque smiled faintly and asked, "Then why did you believe what I said in the first place?"
Cheng Yuesheng was stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
She blinked her eyes and said, "You are very nice to me. I don't think you will hurt me."
Her words were straightforward and simple. As she said this, her deer eyes looked at Qin Heque with clarity and brightness. When Qin Heque lowered his head, he seemed to be able to see into her heart.
"And Grandpa Qin is a very good person. You are his grandson. I don't think he will raise a bad child." She said it sincerely with a smile on her lips, her eyes moving.
"I didn't expect that I still benefited from grandpa's help." Qin Heque said jokingly, looking at Cheng Yuesheng with unusually gentle eyes.
"Haha, you're right! It's mainly because of Grandpa Qin."
They chatted and laughed, and soon forgot about Lu Zecheng.
