But… how was she going to explain to Qiqing?
“It wasn’t me who took this…” Mu Xiaoxiao answered the first question, and stalled for a while without saying anything.
Just then, the boys’ voice came from outside. It seemed that they were playing the game pretty intensely.
Han Qiqing suddenly smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I was only curious. Okay, it’s quite late already. I have to go back.”
“So fast?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked, snapping out from her contemplation.
It was only seven o’clock, still pretty early.
She had been thinking about how to explain to Qiqing because she didn’t 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. It’d 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.
“I have something to attend to so I’ll go first. You two can continue playing.”
Walking to the room, Yin Shaojie and gang were still playing. They seemed very enthralled by the game.
Mu Xiaoxiao went over and said, “Qiqing is going back. Shijun, see her off.”
“Ah?” Song Shijun was holding onto the game controller as he turned around, looking like he hadn’t caught on to what she was saying.
Han Qiqing saw that he was so happy and didn’t want to be the wet blanket.
So she said, “No need. You can have the Yin residence’s chauffeur send me back instead. Let him continue playing.”
Song Shijun finally caught on and looked up. “I think it will be better if I see you off instead. Gimme a moment. Let me finish this round.”
With that said, he quickly turned his eyes back onto the game.
Yin Shaojie laughed, “You should just leave now. You’re gonna lose anyways. Even if I give you the whole night, you won’t be able to beat me.”
“Who says? Just you wait! I will beat you.” Boys… They were all very petitive especially when it involved the things that they liked. They couldn’t just simply admit defeat.
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and said, “You can keep playing your game. I don’t need you to see me off. I’m afraid you might even mistake the steering wheel for the game controller when you drive.”
With that said, she walked out.
“How is this possible! Eh, Qiqing? You really don’t need me?”
Song Shijun’s 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, “I was hoping you could stay overnight. Then the three of us can sleep together in a room and have some heart-to-heart talk.”
She also wanted to ask Qiqing about how she was doing with Lu Yichen.
Han Qiqing laughed, “Do you think that is possible? Even if Ye Sijue and I are okay with it, your Great Master Yin won’t be okay with it.”
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 o’clock, 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.
