Chapter 28: The Weak and Helpless You? (1/2)

Jia Qizhe? I almost forgot! What happened to him last night? Looks like...I need to find some time to ask him properly! But...getting along? He is really an idiot!

“Um, after we’ve all eaten, let’s pack our bags. We’re meeting a friend.” Gu Qingyu chewed on her meat bun slowly.

Qi Yichen blinked curiously. “Friend? Brother Zhu, last night, the weak and helpless you actually went out alone?”

“No, Mo Bai was there.”

“Oh…”

Strangely, Jia Qizhe kept quiet all this while. What really happened to him last night? Looks like I really need to find the time to ask him.

“Oh, also,” Gu Qingyu took a gulp of water but she choked on the water. “Cough! Cough!”

“Brother Zhu, eat slower.” Mo Bai patted Gu Qingyu’s back softly. “Swallow your food first.”

Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes and swallowed her food with some difficulty. ”And Murong Zuoyu is now called Leng Yuxuan. ”

“Oh...:” Qi Yichen nodded, as if pondering something. “Brother Leng changed his name too, just like Brother Zhu…”

“Brother Zhu?” The alert Murong Zuoyu seemed to have discovered something.

“Qi Yichen!” Gu Qingyu glared at Qi Yichen at his slip-up, Qi Yichen knew that he needed to stop right then.

Murong Zuoyu’s cold eyes seemed hurt. “Brother Zhu, you don’t trust me?”

“No, Brother Leng, I just have some unspeakable woes…”

“No matter, you can tell me when you want to.” Murong Zuoyu waved his hand.

“Let’s go.” Jia Qizhe stood up. “Since we have a plan, let’s not waste any more time.”

“Yeap!” Everyone nodded.

The party packed their bags and went to the streets. On that note, they were the ‘center of attention’ wherever they go.

“Ah! That blue-robed man is so handsome!” A middle-aged woman clasped her hands. Obviously, she was talking about Jia Qizhe.

“Yes, the one in white robes is handsome too! Looks so gentle and powerful!”

“And the one in purple robes…”

Gu Qingyu thought they were talking about her and subconsciously turned to smile, but realized they were talking about Murong Zuoyu…

They finally reached the promised location and Gu Qingyu saw Qi Wan from some distance.

“Qi Wan!” Gu Qingyu walked up happily. “You must be waiting for very long?” For some reason, Gu Qingyu felt the name ‘Qi Wan’ was very nice.

“I’ve just arrived!” Qi Wan smiled, eagerly looked behind Gu Qingyu, “These are your friends?” He shuddered when he laid eyes on Mo Bai again. Yesterday...That was a bit much...

“Yep!” Gu Qingyu honestly shrugged, turned to the rest and said, “This is Qi Wan, our new friend…”

“Hi!’ Qi Wan greeted everyone, in response to the introduction.

“What sort of friend?” Jia Qizhe crossed his arms as if he was challenging both of them to a fight.

“Good friends.” Qi Wan shrugged, looked at Gu Qingyu with pleading eyes. “Your friend seems quite hostile to me.”

“Brother Zhu, how can you let him join us so easily!” Qi Yichen interjected before Gu Qingyu could explain, looking very unhappy.

Baby Qi is unhappy and whenever Baby Qi is unhappy, something bad will happen!

“Um…” Gu Qingyu was about to explain but was interrupted again.

“Xiao...Xiao Fan must have his reasons…” Xiao Qi was still uncomfortable with calling Gu Qingyu ‘Xiao Fan’, but she still tried to correct herself, at least it was better than ‘Brother Zhu’. It looked like Xiao Qi was still on Gu Qingyu’s side.

“Um...haha, don’t be like this, we will all be friends from now on!” Seeing Jia Qizhe was about to ‘get violent’, Gu Qingyu stepped between them.

Jia Qizhe was very close to Qi Wan and Qi Wan covered his face. “Haha, don’t be like this, I’ll be embarrassed!” Jia Qizhe’s lips twitched.

“Ha! Haha!” Gu Qingyu laughed dryly and said to Jia Qizhe, “Qi Wan might be a bit… Shy! Yes, shy! Haha!” She laughed dryly again. It might have been better if she did not laugh. Now the atmosphere was really awkward.

Jia Qizhe raised his eyebrows, arms still crossed, and stood proudly before them. “Shy? What kind of shyness is this?”

“Um…” Gu Qingyu was speechless again.

“Okok, let’s all go!” Qi Yichen stood out in a rare moment of solidarity.

“Tch.” Jia Qizhe sneered at Qi Wan and walked on alone.

“Qi Wan, don’t take it to heart!” Gu Qingyu tapped Qi Wan’s shoulders, comforting him.

Qi Wan shrugged. “Don’t worry, if I care about such little things, I wouldn’t call myself ‘Seven Thousand’. ”

“Huh? Then what would you call yourself?” Gu Qingyu asked curiously.

“Yi Mao, or ‘One Cent’. ”

“...Hahaha!” After a one-second delay, Gu Qingyu burst out in laughter.

Qi Wan rolled his eyes. “Big Sis, you’re too slow.”

“Big Sis?” The smart Murong Zuoyu reacted quickly.

Gu Qingyu glared at Qi Wan, then adjusted herself. “Ahem, it’s my childhood name…”

“How would he know your childhood name?” Jia Qizhe teased. This guy definitely did it on purpose!
