"Ziqian, answer me honestly, did you chop that fat bastard up?"

"Master, are you using a fruit knife or a kitchen knife?" Shen Qiaoyan jumped over to join in the fun.

Ling Ziqian was exasperated. He decided not to pour them tea anymore and felt it necessary to explain things to them.

Ling Ziqian waved his hand, signaling them to quiet down, and then explained what he had just done.

Upon hearing what Ling Ziqian had done, the three of them remained silent.

Spreading those videos around—that's a really wicked and malicious tactic!

After a moment of silence, Shen Qiaoyan gave a big thumbs up with a grin, "Master, you're amazing!"

The clever Dou Xiaorong was very curious. She asked in bewilderment, "How did you get into someone's house and record a video?"

Ling Ziqian chuckled and explained, "The door to that room wasn't locked."

Su Mingxi also noticed something strange. "How did you know the phone numbers of their relatives and friends?"

Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly. "I ran into your cousin on the street and borrowed her phone."

"How do you know Mingxi's cousin?" Dou Xiaorong suspected that Ling Ziqian had a secret.

"That person happens to be Cui Xue's classmate. We met by chance. Of course, she doesn't know me." Ling Ziqian was extremely embarrassed.

Shen Qiaoyan chuckled, "Master, how many things have you been doing behind our backs? Let's not even talk about my cousin, I never imagined that you own half of the shares in Sister Mingxi's supermarket!"

"Huh?" Ling Ziqian was dumbfounded. He never expected that they would find out about such a thing.

"Master, is it because you want to woo Sister Mingxi that you..." Shen Qiaoyan guessed curiously.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ling Ziqian said with a dark face, giving Shen Qiaoyan a sharp rap on the head.

Although Shen Qiaoyan didn't say everything, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Su Mingxi was extremely embarrassed!

Dou Xiaorong lowered her head, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. The two of them had just been hugging!

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Shen Qiaoyan, that troublemaker, covered her head, stuck out her tongue at Ling Ziqian, and tiptoed away!

"Wow, it feels like a battleground!" Huan Yue exclaimed excitedly.

"Screw you!" Ling Ziqian had no idea how to handle the situation; his head was throbbing with pain.

The three of them remained silent for a long time, the atmosphere extremely awkward.

Su Mingxi felt she should leave; staying here would only deepen the misunderstanding.

At this moment, Ling Ziqian shouted, speechless, "That idiot Shen Qiaoyan is talking nonsense! The reason I kept this from you was because I was worried about being misunderstood like this!"

Upon hearing Ling Ziqian's words, Dou Xiaorong raised her head and looked at him curiously.

Ling Ziqian looked helpless. "Let me explain the situation. I helped Su's father because of Mingxi, since she's my friend. Besides, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. I guess you could say I'll help someone to the end!"

After explaining what had happened that day, Su Mingxi immediately thanked Ling Ziqian.

Having always been helped by Ling Ziqian, Su Mingxi wanted to do something to express her gratitude.

But she found that she couldn't help him with anything except saying thank you.

To avoid Dou Xiaorong misunderstanding, she said she had to go back to the supermarket to help out and left quickly.

“I’ll go too…” Dou Xiaorong turned around and prepared to go downstairs.

“Hey…” Ling Ziqian grabbed Dou Xiaorong.

"Why are you pulling me?" Dou Xiaorong looked at Ling Ziqian with a puzzled expression, secretly amused.

"You saw it just now, right?" Ling Ziqian asked awkwardly.

"What did you see?" Dou Xiaorong pretended to be confused.

"Never mind if you didn't see it." Ling Ziqian let go of her.

Dou Xiaorong was immediately annoyed. "I saw it! I saw you two hugging. When Su's father found out that fatso had been stabbed, Mingxi almost cried. After I finished talking to you on the phone and found out you were home, she got on her bicycle and rode off..."

“She feels guilty,” Ling Ziqian explained with a smile.

"And what about you?" Dou Xiaorong raised her head and looked intently into Ling Ziqian's eyes.

"What about me?" Ling Ziqian asked, puzzled.

"Why did you help her time and time again?" Dou Xiaorong asked this question. She felt her heart stirring, wanting to know the reason, wanting to explode, wanting to confess!

Ling Ziqian looked directly into Dou Xiaorong's eyes, "Didn't I just say it's because we're friends?"

Dou Xiaorong felt a little more at ease, but she still had a question, "You've helped me, you've always helped me since we were little, is it because we're friends?"

Ling Ziqian nodded, and Dou Xiaorong felt a pang of disappointment.

They've only known each other for a short time, yet they put Su Mingxi and me on the same level. Have we wasted all these years together? Shouldn't I be a little more special in your heart?

Dou Xiaorong mustered her courage, looked earnestly at Ling Ziqian, and asked, "If Mingxi and I fell into the river, and neither of us can swim, and we could only save one of us, who would you save?"

Ling Ziqian collapsed to the ground, never expecting to be asked such a question.

It seems this guy is overflowing with jealousy!

Ling Ziqian reached out, intending to tap Dou Xiaorong on the head, but after thinking about it, he didn't do that. Instead, he placed his hand on her head.

“You are both my friends. I would be heartbroken to lose either of you, so I can’t answer this question.” Ling Ziqian said this, and Dou Xiaorong was a little disappointed, but Ling Ziqian hadn’t finished speaking.

"Su Mingxi is my friend, but only a friend. You, on the other hand, are not only my friend, but also my childhood sweetheart. I know some things, so don't overthink it, lest it cause irreversible consequences."

The reason Ling Ziqian dared to say such a thing was because he was worried that Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi would have a falling out, which would be terrible, since they are best friends!

Dou Xiaorong's heart was pounding wildly in his chest. He said that there were some things he knew clearly. What did he mean by that?

I really want to ask, but I don't dare to. What if there's a misunderstanding? How will we talk to each other in the future?

Dou Xiaorong blushed and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Ling Ziqian withdrew his hand and flicked Dou Xiaorong's smooth forehead. "Dou Rongbao, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Waaah, you bullied me!" Dou Xiaorong came to her senses, covered her red forehead, and looked at Ling Ziqian resentfully.

"Is this what you call bullying?" Ling Ziqian chuckled.

"I don't care, you have to compensate me!" Dou Xiaorong pouted, feeling wronged.

"What will I compensate you for?"

Dou Xiaorong opened her arms wide, her face flushed crimson. "You two just hugged, and I was so worried about you. Can't you give your childhood sweetheart a hug...?"

"You really haven't grown up yet!" Ling Ziqian teased, feeling slightly nervous, and gently hugged Dou Xiaorong.

"Hehe!" Dou Xiaorong hugged Ling Ziqian tightly, laughing sweetly.

They embraced, and instantly fell silent, feeling so real to each other, yet so dreamlike.

Dou Xiaorong buried her head in Ling Ziqian's arms. She really wanted to confess her feelings and say that she liked him!

But for some reason, I just can't bring myself to say it!

Are you shy?

No!

Why?

do not know!

Huan Yue's voice appeared, "Aren't you going to confess?" (The question was posed by a user named "呆亩厅".)

Ling Ziqian sighed helplessly, "Stop fooling around."

"Oh, you like Mingxi more!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I've explained it before."

"Feeling uneasy about the unknown future?"

"Ah."

"...I can't be bothered with you!"

After hugging for a while, Ling Ziqian wanted to let go, but Dou Xiaorong hadn't had enough of hugging him yet.

Just then, Shen Qiaoyan's voice came, "Master, come to my house for dinner tonight!"

Episode 16: The Hearts of Girls

Chapter 123 Your boss has given you a task!

I never expected that Shen Qiaoyan would suddenly jump up like that.

Dou Xiaorong shyly parted ways with Ling Ziqian.

The two walked out of the kitchen, Shen Qiaoyan looking very excited.

She suddenly remembered her mission to bring Ling Ziqian home for dinner!

We've already missed lunch. Let's go back and have dinner!

Dou Xiaorong was very curious, "Qiaoyan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​inviting Ziqian to your house for dinner?"

"Because..." Shen Qiaoyan revealed a mysterious smile, "I won't tell you yet!"

"..." Could it be that the two of them have some kind of secret?

Dou Xiaorong looked at Ling Ziqian with jealous eyes.

I just calmed him down, and here he comes again!

Ling Ziqian felt a headache coming on and looked at Shen Qiaoyan with a dark face. "It's just that I helped you improve your grades, it's no big deal. I don't like eating at other people's houses, so I'm not going!"

Hearing that her grades had improved, Dou Xiaorong felt even more resentful. She remembered the time when Ling Ziqian massaged Shen Qiaoyan.

Could it be that there were two of them? Did they get a massage without her knowing?

Seeing that Dou Xiaorong's eyes were not right, Ling Ziqian quickly explained to her, "Just like you, I bought a bottle of medicine from abroad and gave it to her to drink, and then her grades improved."

I see. Dou Xiaorong felt relieved.

Shen Qiaoyan looked at Ling Ziqian speechlessly, and muttered irritably, "Since you don't want to go to my house, Master, then I'll bring my parents to your house!"
