C44 (1/2)
Remind yourself that she is not a substitute!
The look of disdain on her face made him feel like he was useless for the moment. Even though others hated him to death, he still showed a carefree expression.
”Didn't you just complain about me shouting at you from outside? I'm not going to apologize. ”
She had always felt that he was gentle, refined, and a bit of a scoundrel. Now that she heard him talk about it, why did she feel that he was so despicable?
The discomfort didn't fade from her face for even a moment. ”If you apologize, then apologize. Step back a bit.”
The distance between the two faces was only the length of a palm, and if they were any closer, they might be able to face each other. She turned her head away from him.
Lu Junhao narrowed her bright eyes, ”Wasn't it too far away for you to hear?”
This sentence was obviously meant to provoke him, but Luo Qingyu did not dare to overreact. After all, it was just the two of them right now. If they weren't careful enough, she wouldn't be able to take responsibility if something happened.
At the same time, she understood the meaning of his words. Just now, he said something soft to her, but she chose to turn a deaf ear. She didn't think that this man really held a grudge.
He still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. Perhaps it was caused by his natural competitive spirit.
She raised her right hand and pointed a finger at him. ”You're obviously taking revenge.”
Hearing this, he laughed even harder. He also quickly raised his left hand and held her right hand, ”Don't you know that it is very rude to point at others like this? Especially since I'm your boss and savior. ”
At this time, Luo Qingyu really wanted to use his supercilious look to kill him, but he couldn't use this kind of expression to personally attack him.
Breaking free from his grasp, she calmed her already restless heart.
Although the two of them were in a dark tent, they could still see that her face was flushed.
In order to reduce such close contact with her, she deliberately retreated. It was obvious that she had already retreated to the edge of the tent. There was nowhere for her to retreat to.
”Alright, we are maintaining such a distance right now. You can't push yourself too far.”
He was like a child, but the more she was like this, the more amused he became, as if he were going back to those days.
The women in his memory would be like this, bickering and making a ruckus.
”Alright, I won't go over, but you still haven't answered the question I asked you!”
”How so? ”Thank you for your help over and over again. If I had the chance, I would definitely have expressed my gratitude to you.”
When he saw her sincere appearance, his words contained no intention to deceive her. He could be considered to have let go of his worries. However, seeing that Luo Qingyu was so sensible and flexible, it really moved Lu Junhao's heart. Maybe it really was too similar.
”Alright, you said so. If I let you invite me, you can't deny it.”
He had only casually said it, but he hadn't expected that he actually meant it. However, seeing as he was telling him about the recent developments in Luo Family, he would still follow this etiquette.
”I, Luo Qingyu, will keep my word!” As he spoke, his hands were already preparing to take the oath.
”Alright, I just want you to remember that you don't have to be so cruel to yourself. Swear!”
When she said this, she could clearly feel the concern the man had for her. She didn't know if this feeling was real or fake, but the light in his eyes couldn't be faked.
It was as if a voice was telling him that he couldn't be blinded by such an illusion. It wasn't the time for them to be in love, not to mention the fact that he had yet to take revenge.
However, since the other party had shown weakness to him time and time again, he should show it as well.
”Then where are you going to sleep tonight?”
Seeing her take the initiative to care for him, he felt even more happy. ”I thought you wouldn't care where I slept.”
Faced with his question, she lowered her head. He knew that she must have been hit by his words, so he felt a little embarrassed.
”Don't worry, I won't disturb you. Just relax and sleep!”
With his permission, Luo Qingyu laid down without a word. He might be fine tomorrow if he twisted his foot, but her heart was really tired.
Especially after hearing the news that Lu Junhao had told his father, she hated himself for not being able to fulfill his responsibilities as a daughter in time.
She remembered that when she was young, whenever she was sick, her father would personally take care of her. Because her mother had left a long time ago, she and her father were especially good.
He had already thought that this old man might not be able to bear it, but it was unlikely that he would be hospitalized in such a serious manner. Perhaps only the people involved would know about this, and bring this question to sleep.
Lu Junhao looked at her and did not have any further reaction.
If he didn't tell her, wouldn't she leave him here as a token? No matter how intimate a man and woman were, they should still retain their friendship!
She quietly got up from the tent, afraid that the commotion would wake her up. Outside, night had covered the entire land. A full moon hung proudly in the sky, its eyes unable to tolerate even the slightest amount of stars. Wasn't this the same as the him from before?
He turned to look at Mu Zexi and Luo Tingting's tents, seeing that there were no movements inside, he should have already gone to sleep.
It was now, so to speak, a true return to nature. He sat cross-legged on the floor and lit the firewood.
When he lit the fire, he couldn't help but think of that silly woman's appearance. If she picked up firewood, then she really picked it up.
The fire was going, but he was laughing. He was so immersed in his own memories that he didn't even notice the people coming from behind him.
”What are you laughing about in the middle of the night?”
His laughter was not loud, but it was as if it had never been laughed at before.
He did not need to turn around to know that the person who came was none other than Mu Zexi.
