"oh-"
While they were busy editing the information, Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo, having finished taking photos, also collapsed wearily onto the sofa.
Although she sent the photos to put her parents at ease, they soon realized that something even more troublesome was waiting for them.
"Hopefully they won't make a mountain out of a molehill."
"Your sister is staying at my house tonight. I'm just letting you know, so don't worry too much."
"Chie, it's alright now. She's wanted to come to your house to play for a long time, so today is an early visit."
Lin Qiu rubbed her head, not paying too much attention. With Qin Xuan and Qin Dan around, they should get along quite well.
Seeing the two people sprawled on the sofa, refusing to move, Ying Ziyan, having finished packing up her camera, couldn't help but urge them on—
"You two, don't just lie there! The movie isn't over yet, come over here."
"..."
At the mention of movies, both Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo felt a slight stinging pain in their arms.
Although the nail marks and ligature marks have faded considerably, the pain is still there!
"Um, well—how about we discuss it? You guys sit in the front, and we'll sit in the back? With us in the back, you should feel much more at ease, right?"
"Hey—why did you have to sit in the back...?"
"I understand! Let's sit here!"
Before Zezhi could finish speaking, Ying Ziyan covered her mouth and agreed, not forgetting to give her a subtle look.
The two people sitting in the back are obviously trying to whisper something in the dark, so let's not disturb them!
Soon, Zezhi realized what was happening and nodded eagerly.
Seeing that they all agreed, Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo felt relieved and sat down behind them, clutching their injured arms.
Now I won't get pinched!
As the movie continued, seeing Ze Zhi and Ying Ziyan immediately hug each other tightly, Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and looked helplessly at Qin Yunmo beside him.
"Is your hand feeling any better?"
"Thank goodness, I wasn't pinched for that long. But you, your hand was all purple before."
Even Qin Yunmo, recalling the scene just now, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. This guy could stay silent for so long, it almost made him suspect it was true love.
"There's nothing I can do. Yuanzi is genuinely scared, but I'm not that scared, so I can only go along with her."
"Give me your hand."
"Ok?"
"Let me give you a massage; I'm quite good at improving blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
"You're not going to torture me again under the guise of a massage, are you?"
The scene of being forced to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis was still vivid in Lin Qiu's mind, and he immediately stared at Qin Yunmo with some vigilance.
It would be going too far to settle scores now!
"Last time is last time, this time is this time. As long as you don't say anything you shouldn't, everything will be fine."
Qin Yunmo rolled her eyes at him, then lifted his arm and began to gently massage it.
Although he was still extremely dissatisfied with what he said about Ping, he decided to let him off this time for the sake of their long-standing partnership and friendship.
Seeing that Qin Yunmo really had no intention of settling accounts, Lin Qiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, he also noticed that Ze Zhi and Ying Ziyan had suddenly stopped moving. He subconsciously looked up and met their amused gazes.
As Lin Qiu looked over, the two coughed and turned their attention back to the television.
Are these two guys just here to gossip?
"Hey, do they have that kind of relationship?"
Ying Ziyan nudged Ze Zhi with her elbow and asked curiously.
“They say they didn’t, but who believes them? The parents have already met them.”
"They've already met each other's parents?!"
"It started with him meeting Yunmo's sister, and then his family who were traveling together. I was there at the time, and Yunmo's mother seemed to like him a lot."
Ze Zhi solemnly recounted that she saw it clearly at the time, and that it was definitely the look a mother-in-law would give her son-in-law!
Upon hearing Ze Zhi's words, Ying Ziyan noticed something, and her eyes immediately narrowed.
Why were you there when your whole family was meeting?
Could it be that... you were already with Lin Qiu before they even met?!
Could these three be involved in a love triangle?!
Thinking of this, Ying Ziyan perked up, staring intently at Ze Zhi, and asked again with a meaningful look—
Do you think there's any possibility for their relationship to develop further?
069 - Both sides retreat, a third party invades.
"Although they seem to have a promising future together, I've actually asked them both questions, and neither of them has any intention of dating!"
"Huh - not even a single thought?"
"Yes, they were both completely absorbed in the game. They felt that it was better to grind more games than to waste time dating. Ugh, that's about it."
Zezhi watched the movie while explaining, occasionally screaming in fright, and clung tightly to Ying Ziyan.
But when it came to gossip, Ying Ziyan had completely lost interest in reading further, her eyes constantly glancing at Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo behind her.
So, according to this logic, Lin Qiu is actually still a single dog like me, and there's no mutual attraction between us?
Her suppressed thoughts suddenly resurfaced, and Ying Ziyan nervously rubbed the hem of her clothes before asking again, still somewhat uneasy—
"Well... Zezhi, what do you think of Lin Qiu?"
"Trickster!"
Zezhi blurted out almost without hesitation, "However you look at it, the fact that that bastard hasn't made me so angry that I had a stroke is already a testament to my extremely strong mental fortitude!"
If there's any favorability rating, it's definitely negative for me!
Seeing Ze Zhi's pretty face puffed up in anger, Ying Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
I've met so many men on blind dates, but this is the first time my "XP system" has been triggered. I don't have anyone I like right now, so maybe I can get to know them a little better!
If it feels pretty good...
"What's wrong, Yuanzi? You seem a bit distracted."
"Huh? Ah—nothing, I was just scared by that ghost."
Ying Ziyan gave a perfunctory reply, but didn't continue to think about it. Her attention returned to the TV, and for a moment she didn't feel that the ghost movie was that scary.
I wonder what type of girl Lin Qiu likes?
Zezhi looked at Ying Ziyan, who was deep in thought, with a somewhat confused expression, feeling that something was amiss.
But she didn't think too much about it. She glanced back at the two people still giving her a massage and couldn't help but purse her lips. She had no interest in such things before knowing their identities, but who knew if she would still have any interest now...
After the room fell silent again, Qin Yunmo, who had finished the massage, slapped away Lin Qiu's hand.
"Alright, it should be fine now. Just don't get pinched again."
"Oh, thanks."
Shaking his arm, which felt noticeably more comfortable, Lin Qiu nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, a massage like that was the right amount of pressure.
In the future, we should try to avoid provoking Qin Yunmo, otherwise one day we might accidentally kill him without even knowing how!
"Your muscles are too loose; you should move around and exercise more."
After finishing, Qin Yunmo didn't forget to remind him that this guy's constitution was much weaker than his own, and it wouldn't be good if he got sick in the future.
"Well, I didn't have many friends before, and I didn't have a reason to go out. I mostly stayed at home taking care of Chie."
"Take your sister out to play more often when you have time, don't keep her cooped up at home too."
"I know, I know."
Lin Qiu nodded, but clearly didn't take it to heart. Now that he knew Qin Xuan and Qin Dan, Qian Hui would be able to go out on her own in the future.
I'll have even more time to play games from now on!
As they talked, the movie finally came to an end. Ze Zhi, utterly exhausted, slumped into Ying Ziyan's arms, muttering with lingering fear—
"I will never watch horror movies again!"
"You still say you're not afraid?"
Ying Ziyan rolled her eyes at her, but after completely ignoring what she was seeing, she suddenly felt a little proud.
"Who...who would have thought the room would be this dark!"
Ze Zhi muttered resentfully, glancing sideways at the two people behind her. She was the only one in the room who had finished watching the horror movie. They had agreed to watch it together!
"Ahem, it's all for the atmosphere, after all. We've seen enough now, how about we take a shower and play 'Kara no Kyoukai' together?"
Ying Ziyan greeted him, her gaze immediately falling on Lin Qiu—
"Lin Qiu, why don't you go take a shower first? We girls take longer to shower, so you won't have to wait so long."
"Oh-okay then, where's the bathroom again?"
"The third floor, that's the floor where I live."
"Wow, three whole floors!"
Hearing Ying Ziyan's casual remark, Ze Zhi and Lin Qiu couldn't help but smack their lips.
Three whole floors, each with such a large area, she's definitely a rich woman!
"Oh right, I have some spare bathrobes that Dad used to keep. You can use them for now. They're on the bottom shelf of the bathroom cabinet. There's also a bag to put your clothes away so you can take them home. There are also new towels in the cabinet."
"Ziyan, you've really prepared everything."
"Hey, you've been looking forward to this for three days, huh? Go take a shower, let's get the bedding ready first."
After giving Qin Yunmo and Ze Zhi a meaningful glance, Ying Ziyan pushed Lin Qiu upstairs.
The two people following behind looked at each other, somewhat confused about her earlier gaze, but still obediently followed.
The third floor of the bar is where Ying Ziyan lives. It is cleaner and cozier than the two floors below. The central living room is covered with a soft wool carpet, enough for one to sleep on.
There was a blanket lying on the leather sofa, as if she had slept in the living room last night, and a case of empty beer was on the coffee table next to it.
Faced with the suspicious gazes of the crowd, Ying Ziyan scratched her cheek somewhat embarrassedly—
"I was too excited yesterday and couldn't sleep at all, so I drank some wine and watched TV here. I fell asleep while watching."
"Sister Ziyan, are you sure you won't get sick from drinking like this?"
"It's okay, I can hold my liquor!"
Ying Ziyan waved her hand confidently, then urged—
"Alright, Lin Qiu, go take a shower first. Yun Mo and Ze Zhi, come with me to the room, and we'll bring the computer out while we're at it."
Lin Qiu glanced in the direction Ying Ziyan pointed, nodded, and went inside.
After he left, Ying Ziyan smiled and led Yunmo and Zezhi to a room on the side, constantly planning her next move.
Upon entering the room, Zezhi and Yunmo were immediately overwhelmed by the strong smell of alcohol. The cabinet was full of red wine, and several bottles of red wine were scattered on the soft bed.
As for the smaller office area, there were four mainframes, almost all of which were top-of-the-line configurations, making Qin Yunmo and Ze Zhi's eyes turn green with envy.
Each of these consoles costs over ten thousand!
"Don't just stand there, help me move these bedding down. Are you sleeping in my room or the living room tonight?"
"Um—let me ask first, does this include Lin Qiu?!"
"Of course not, let Lin Qiu sleep in the living room. There's air conditioning if it gets cold, and the sofa can be folded down to make a bed. Does anyone want to sleep with him?"
The 070-xp system was vibrating wildly.
