Chapter 66: Are You Jealous?
Shi Yang finally took Qin Zhuo's car to go to school.
However, Qin Zhuo had a cold face the whole time, his lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't even glance at Shi Yang.
Shi Yang was sitting in the passenger seat, playing with the drawstring hanging from the hood of his jacket out of boredom. After a while, he would steal a glance at Qin Zhuo who was concentrating on driving beside him.
Qin Yu glanced at the rearview mirror in the car with his peripheral vision, watching every move of the person in the mirror.
Soon, the car stopped at the traffic light.
Shi Yang put on his hood and tightened the drawstrings with both hands. The big hat almost covered his entire face, leaving only his nose and mouth exposed.
He leaned over to Qin Zhuo like a blind man, "Brother Qin Zhuo, why don't you say anything? Are you a quiet person by nature?"
Qin Qi looked at the head approaching in front of him and found it very funny.
The corners of his lips moved up silently, and he raised his hand to push Shi Yang's head away.
"Sit down."
Shi Yang's eyes were blocked, so he didn't even see the arc of Qin Qian's face.
When I put the hat down, I still saw that slightly tense, expressionless face.
"Wait, I have something for you."
As Shi Yang spoke, he unzipped the backpack in his arms and rummaged around for a while before taking out a small pendant the size of a palm.
He handed the pendant over and said, "Here you go. Learn from it and smile more in the future."
Qin Zhuo looked at the little gadget in front of him, a cartoon cockroach doll, grinning with its teeth bared.
Ugly.
"You're still unwilling to give it up? I'm going to give it to you."
Shi Yang directly took Qin Qiu's schoolbag, swiftly hung the grinning little Ah Chang on the schoolbag, and then threw it back.
"You can't take it off without my permission."
After saying that, she straightened her messy hair in the rearview mirror, looked at her face, and exclaimed, "Oh, how sweet!"
Qin Yu: “…”
"Brother Qin Zhuo, you have to drive me to the hospital to get medicine at noon."
Qin Qian glanced at the ugly thing on his schoolbag, but ended up not taking it off.
His lips moved slightly, but before he could say anything, he heard the mumbling voice in his ears again.
"If you hadn't come late that day, I wouldn't have been hit by Mu Jiahe's stick and hit my forehead when I fell."
"You are responsible for my injuries, understand?"
"If I get a scar on such a pretty face, it will be your loss."
"Last time after school, you let me go because of Mu Ning and didn't come to pick me up from school. I had to wait in the cold wind for several hours, but I didn't hold it against you. Why are you mad at me now? You are so petty."
Qin Yu: “…”
Never mind, I was mad at him for a week.
Tell lies with open eyes.
Qin Zhu's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he squeezed out three words: "I'll take you there."
"That's more like it."
“But then again…” Shi Yang lengthened the tail end of his tone and moved his upper body closer to Qin Qi.
He stared at the young man's stern profile, curled the corners of his lips, and asked with interest: "Brother Qin Zhuo, are you jealous?"
Just then the green light ahead came on.
Qin Zhuo tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his jawline also tensed, and he stepped on the accelerator to start the car.
The people around him were still staring at him.
After a while, his chest vibrated slightly, and his deep voice was without any emotion: "Don't be sentimental."
Shi Yang: "Don't be so sentimental~"
Qin Yu: “…”
A few minutes later, as the car was speeding into the school, Shi Yang saw a familiar figure.
Mu Ning was walking slowly on the sidewalk nearby, with his head lowered and shoulders hunched. He seemed to be wiping away tears, looking very pitiful.
Qin Zhuan probably also saw Mu Ning, and suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road and rolled down the window.
Mu Ning noticed the movement nearby and turned to look over, revealing a pair of red and swollen eyes like rabbits, and an obvious slap mark on her cheek.
He took two steps forward and whispered, "Brother Qin Zhuo..."
Qin Yu frowned slightly when he saw Mu Ning's expression at this moment, "Get in the car."
After hearing this, Mu Ning did not get in the car immediately, but looked at Shi Yang cautiously.
Shi Yang certainly didn't have a good face towards his current "most annoying person".
“I…” Mu Ning dodged his gaze and said hesitantly, “I’ll just give up. I’ll be there in two steps.”
Shi Yang was silent for a moment, "What are you doing? Just get in the car if I tell you to."
Mu Ning then opened the back door and bent down to sit in.
Qin Qian glanced at the person in the passenger seat. Shi Yang snorted coldly and glared at him mercilessly.
After glaring at him, she snatched his schoolbag, swiftly removed the ugly pendant that had just been hung on it, and threw the schoolbag into his arms.
Qin Yu: “…”
After doing all this, Shi Yang turned his head to look out the car window, leaving only the back of his head to Qin Qian, and he was obviously unhappy.
It's done again.
Jealous?
Qin Zhuo pursed his lips and suppressed the thought that had just popped up in his mind.
He started the car again and asked Mu Ning in the back: "What's wrong with your face?"
"Mu Jiahe is still in the hospital. Aunt Zhou blamed me for everything. She locked me up at home and wouldn't let me go out. She even slapped me in the face."
Speaking of the sad part, Mu Ning raised his hand to wipe away his tears and whispered softly: "I ran away secretly."
The Aunt Zhou he mentioned is Mu Jiahe's mother, his stepmother.
Hearing these words, Qin Qi's dark eyes gradually turned cold, "Your father doesn't care?"
"My father only gave me a few words of instruction..."
Mu Ning forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm used to it. I'm working part-time every week now. When I make enough money, I'll move out of the house and everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Qin Qi frowned slightly and did not agree with Mu Ning's idea of accepting everything.
He was about to say something when Shi Yang, who was sulking beside him, suddenly spoke:
"Your mistress stepmother hit you, and you didn't hit her back, slapping her in the face."
"It's okay if you move out."
"It's annoying to get up early to go to school, and now I have to listen to your nonsense. It's even more annoying."
After these words were spoken, the carriage was silent for a few seconds.
Qin Qi glanced at Shi Yang in the passenger seat again. He was leaning on the seat with his arms folded, his brows furrowed in disdain, his small face full of annoyance.
He said nothing, just looked ahead and continued driving.
Mu Ning in the back opened his mouth slightly, forgetting even to shed tears, "Is this... isn't this a bit bad?"
"Xiao Yang, I'm sorry for making you angry because of my matter."
"By the way, how is the wound on your forehead? Does it still hurt?"
Shi Yang was too lazy to talk anymore.
I don't know if this protagonist is really a coward or just pretending.
No matter whether it was true or false, he was furious.
Qin Qi answered on behalf of Shi Yang: "He is fine, he can run and jump."
I can eat three bowls in one meal.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the teaching building.
"Brother Qin Zhuo, thank you for giving me a ride. I'll be leaving now."
"Um."
Mu Ning got out of the car, and Shi Yang also unbuckled his seat belt and got out, but found that the passenger door was locked and could not be opened.
He turned his head and looked at Qin Zhuo, not giving him a good look.
"Why did you lock the car door? I'm almost late."
Qin Huan suddenly stretched out his hand to him, "Give me back the pendant."
Shi Yang looked at Qin Qi strangely, "You were complaining just now, what are you doing now? I just won't give it to you."
Qin Zhuo's hand remained motionless, still stretched out in front of him.
It seems like he won't stop until he gets the pendant.
Shi Yang's mouth twitched slightly, then he took out the pendant from his schoolbag and stuffed it into Qin Qi's hand.
Qin Zhuan hung the grinning cockroach pendant back on his schoolbag and pinched the whiskers on its head.
"Mu Ning speaks that way naturally. He has no bad intentions. Don't bother with him."
Shi Yang zipped up his schoolbag. "What?"
After a moment of silence, Qin Zhuo uttered a single syllable from his throat: "Tea."
