CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42 WHAT ON EARTH IS IN YOUR MIND?

At this time, Zhuang Shuqing couldn’t hide it any longer if she wanted to. She pursed her lips and nodded silently.

"Holy shit, it really is you!"

Zhuang Shuqing nodded again, "I can only stay at your place for now."

Qin Huaixin patted her shoulder righteously, and then she looked at Zhuang Shuqing with confusion, "Does your staying here have a direct relation to you making the headlines?"

Shouldn’t she be worried about being recognized on the streets at this point?

A thought seemed to strike Qin Huaixin, and her big sparkling eyes suddenly widened: "Has someone already found out where you live?"

Zhuang Shuqing had a headache, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

If Qin Huaixin doesn’t know the truth, she’ll surely pry without shame, and then Zhuang Shuqing can forget about having any peace.

With an all-or-nothing expression she said, "Lu Jinyang knows where I live, I don’t want to be entangled with him anymore."

"Lu Jinyang? ...Major Lu!" Upon hearing this, Qin Huaixin’s eyes widened in disbelief, "You... you guys... you didn’t sleep together, did you?"

Regarding this question, Zhuang Shuqing wasn’t sure herself, because it seemed like they did everything that night, but also it seemed like they did nothing, after all, he was pushed away just as he entered.

Seeing Zhuang Shuqing silent, Qin Huaixin took it as an admission, "Wow..."

Qin Huaixin greatly admired her bestie’s deed, but it also depended on whom her bestie slept with.

Now, her bestie has slept with the Empire’s youngest Major and even ran away... At this moment, she felt exceptionally at a loss for words.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

"Let me be for a moment."

"..."

After who knows how long, Qin Huaixin finally recovered from the shock this revelation brought her, and gave Zhuang Shuqing a thumbs up:

"You’re really something! Heard that Major Lu is famous in the Empire for being a high-profile, abstinent man, someone to admire from afar, not to be trifled with, you must be the first to get with him."

Zhuang Shuqing held her forehead, "Miss Qin Huaixin, please watch your language."

In the past, she also thought Lu Jinyang was such an aloof and unapproachable man, but after these days of interaction, she realized that wasn’t the case at all.

In her eyes, he was that kind of man who was proper and serious in front of others, but behind the scenes...

Thinking about the things she said in his room at the base, and what he did last night... Zhuang Shuqing shook her head to herself.

Appearances can be deceiving!

"Well, sigh~ It looks like going to work will be difficult for you, my dad isn’t home, and I can’t suppress your news either, so..."

"It’s okay, it just happens to be the weekend, things will die down in a couple of days."

"Mhm, Shuqing, we have nothing to do now, why don’t you tell me about what happened that night between you two?"

The room was quiet for a few seconds, and then erupted with an angry roar: "Qin Huaixin, what on earth is going on in your head!"

...

That evening, Lu Jinyang appeared downstairs at Zhuang Shuqing’s place, lifting his eyes to look, he didn’t see light in her room, his brows furrowed — she hadn’t come back at this hour, could something have happened?

The emotionally inept Major Lu had no idea that she was avoiding him.

Sitting in the car, Lu Jinyang took out his phone and dialed a number~

Zhuang Shuqing and Qin Huaixin were taking a walk in the yard when suddenly, the phone rang, displaying an unfamiliar number.

She hesitated, who would be calling her at this time?

Qin Huaixin leaned in, glanced at the unfamiliar number, and said, "Answer it. Not many people know your number, it could be something important."
