But⦠how was she going to explain to Qiqing?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt wasnât me who took thisâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao answered the first question, and stalled for a while without saying anything.
Just then, the boysâ voice came from outside. It seemed that they were playing the game pretty intensely.
Han Qiqing suddenly smiled and said, âItâs nothing. I was only curious. Okay, itâs quite late already. I have to go back.â
âSo fast?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked, snapping out from her contemplation.
It was only seven oâclock, still pretty early.
She had been thinking about how to explain to Qiqing because she didnât want to lie to Qiqing. And since Qiqing liked Lu Yichen, it was only normal that she would worry about him and want to know about his situation. Itâd be stranger if she were to say nothing about it.
If she were to keep news of Lu Yichen from Qiqing, knowing clearly that Qiqing liked Lu Yichen, she would be a shitty friend.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao had already decided to tell her about it, but was looking for a way to say it right.
But when Han Qiqing changed the subject, she then thought that it might be fine to ask Lu Yichen first before telling Qiqing about it.
Han Qiqing helped Mo Xiaomeng adjust her clothes before going out.
âI have something to attend to so Iâll go first. You two can continue playing.â
Walking to the room, Yin Shaojie and gang were still playing. They seemed very enthralled by the game.
Mu Xiaoxiao went over and said, âQiqing is going back. Shijun, see her off.â
âAh?â Song Shijun was holding onto the game controller as he turned around, looking like he hadnât caught on to what she was saying.
Han Qiqing saw that he was so happy and didnât want to be the wet blanket.
So she said, âNo need. You can have the Yin residenceâs chauffeur send me back instead. Let him continue playing.â
Song Shijun finally caught on and looked up. âI think it will be better if I see you off instead. Gimme a moment. Let me finish this round.â
With that said, he quickly turned his eyes back onto the game.
Yin Shaojie laughed, âYou should just leave now. Youâre gonna lose anyways. Even if I give you the whole night, you wonât be able to beat me.â
âWho says? Just you wait! I will beat you.â Boys⦠They were all very competitive especially when it involved the things that they liked. They couldnât just simply admit defeat.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and said, âYou can keep playing your game. I donât need you to see me off. Iâm afraid you might even mistake the steering wheel for the game controller when you drive.â
With that said, she walked out.
âHow is this possible! Eh, Qiqing? You really donât need me?â
Song Shijunâs voice rang from behind her, but Han Qiqing ignored him and had already left the room.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaomeng followed behind her to see her off.
Mu Xiaoxiao said disappointedly, âI was hoping you could stay overnight. Then the three of us can sleep together in a room and have some heart-to-heart talk.â
She also wanted to ask Qiqing about how she was doing with Lu Yichen.
Han Qiqing laughed, âDo you think that is possible? Even if Ye Sijue and I are okay with it, your Great Master Yin wonât be okay with it.â
Mu Xiaoxiao gestured to the helper to have someone prepare the car.
After sending her to the car and watching the car leaving through the gate, Mu Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaomeng went back into the house.
It was seven oâclock, and the sky was dark.
The street lamps lit up throughout the whole city.
Han Qiqing watched the busy traffic outside the window and people everywhere on the streets. She wore a gloomy expression. Taking down the facade of happiness, her eyes were left with loneliness.
