C87 (2/2)
The next afternoon, An Hao still hid the recording equipment inside her collar and bought a big cake before coming to the village of Tianming. Shen Liang's secret base was still only occupied by Aunt Zhang and Lu Qi, and it was unknown whether the two robust men she saw that day were hiding somewhere else or had something to do and left.
On the contrary, she wanted to cry. She pulled An Hao inside the house and listed a large amount of dishes for Aunt Zhang to buy, saying that they needed to prepare in advance for dinner.
Aunt Zhang probably did not want to keep An Hao and her at home, so after some hesitation, Lu Qi became angry and shouted at her: ”You just need to go, and I won't run, do you need to guard me like a prisoner?”
Aunt Zhang helplessly sighed, and could only go out to buy vegetables.
An Hao patted her shoulders to console her: ”It's my birthday, why are you so angry? ”Be happier.”
”Can I be happy?” Lu Qi angrily complained: ”Are you staying in this crappy place all day long? You're not allowed to go out even after your birthday, what difference is there between you and the criminals in the prison?”
”Hmm?” An Hao puzzledly asked: ”Why can't I go out? We should go out and celebrate our birthdays. ”
”Isn't it Shen Liang who …” As Lu Qi spoke, he suddenly paused, looked at An Hao suspiciously: ”Do you know who Shen Liang is?”
An Hao thoughtfully asked: ”Shen Liang? Your boyfriend? ”
Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief, sat down on the bed and pouted: ”It's that bastard, it's fine that he didn't accompany me on my birthday, but he still insisted on locking me up here. I don't understand, it's just a person dying, it's already been so long, why is he still so nervous?”
”Someone's dead?”
”Ah!” Lu Qi suddenly realized what he had said, and an unnatural expression flashed across his face, but he quickly pretended to be relaxed and replied, ”He's one of my roommates, and jumped down to commit suicide not too long ago. Actually, this matter has nothing to do with us, he's just nervous.
If he wasn't too guilty, why would he be afraid of provoking trouble to hide himself in such a remote place?
An Hao smiled, bent down, and sat by her side: ”I guess your boyfriend did it for your own good, so don't blame him. If you really want to go out and celebrate, then discuss it with him.
Lu Qi casually replied: ”It's been three months.”
”That's been a long time. It shouldn't have much of an impact.” An Hao continued to advise her: ”Who wouldn't want to invite friends out for their birthday? Your boyfriend has no reason to not agree.”
”Don't mention it.” Lu Qi said very angrily: ”I begged him for an entire night just to not agree, and to let me hold it in. I think he wants to suffocate me to death here so that he can be completely at ease.”
”How is this possible?” An Hao joked: ”You are thinking too much, she is your boyfriend.”
”Well, you don't know anything about it.” Lu Qi looked up at her as he spoke: ”Don't tell anyone about what I said to you today. Your boyfriend isn't even good enough, do you understand?”
An Hao laughed unconcernedly: ”Who can I talk to? Even if I mentioned your name, who would know who you, Lu Qi, are?”
