When Qin Rubing saw Luofeng co in, she first rolled over, stopping her phone activity.
She then spread her arms wide, clearly waiting for Luofeng to hug her.
Luofeng glanced at Duanmu Yunji, waiting.
Duanmu Yunji rolled her eyes and urged, "Master, why are you looking at ? I can’t lift her."
"So you’re implying that she’s heavy?" Luofeng teased.
Duanmu Yunji huffed, "Rubing and I have a great relationship. Are you trying to create a rift between us? Useless!"
Fine! A blind spot identified. Luofeng silently took notes.
The relationship between Duanmu Yunji and Qin Rubing was strong. At least from the current standpoint, the bond between Duanmu Yunji and Qin Rubing seed stronger than her bond with Ye Bing.
This was important information to record; who knew if it would co in handy later?
Luofeng leaned his crutch against the wall, then lifted Qin Rubing, reminding her, "Stand on your right foot, be careful, and don’t put any weight on your left!"
Duanmu Yunji readily grabbed the crutch. Once Luofeng helped Qin Rubing find her balance, Duanmu Yunji handed it to her.
Qin Rubing started trying to use it. Although she couldn’t put her left leg on the ground, the crutch served as a substitute, and she soon took several steps.
"That looks okay, but still, listen to the doctor. Rest as much as possible for the first 48 hours. I’m heading to the living room. You two sisters enjoy yourselves," Luofeng announced as he went to the living room.
Duanmu Yunji helped Qin Rubing back to the bed and whispered, "Rest for a bit. I’ll go speak with Master about the situation."
Qin Rubing nodded.
「In the living room.」
Luofeng was downloading Zhihu.
He contemplated posting a topic: ’What’s it like living with your girlfriend’s best friend?’ What might the replies be? Definitely sothing thrilling, right?
...
Inside the apartnt, Luofeng lay on the sofa, still downloading Zhihu.
Duanmu Yunji ca over, sat next to Luofeng, and softly asked, "Working?"
Luofeng put down his phone and shook his head. "No. Is she lying down?"
Duanmu Yunji sat on Luofeng’s lap and leaned into his embrace. It was her favorite place to be.
"Master, are you unhappy?" Duanmu Yunji asked quietly.
Luofeng was gently petting... a cat? AHEM. Actually, Luofeng was caressing Duanmu Yunji’s long hair; it felt similar to stroking a cat. "I’m still a bit confused," he admitted. "I haven’t quite figured out the situation."
"Do you think that since Rubing is injured, contacting her dance school classmates would’ve been quicker?" Duanmu Yunji inquired.
"Isn’t that the case?" Luofeng asked.
"Under normal circumstances, yes. But Rubing is the best student at the dance school. She’s not only a great dancer but also very beautiful. Coupled with her cold personality, she’s t with malice from others at school. I won’t go into details; such lodramatic stuff happens a lot in novels and TV shows. In a word, it’s jealousy," Duanmu Yunji explained.
Luofeng nodded. Such situations were certainly common at school.
If you don’t fit in, but you excel at sothing? Then, sorry, people will turn others against you and gang up on you. Everyone will join in to hate you.
Considering Qin Rubing’s icy deanor, plus her beauty, it was perfectly normal for her to be a target of enmity.
"In fact, I’ve encountered similar situations at our school. If it weren’t for Bingbing being such a good friend, I would have no other friends," said Duanmu Yunji.
"Before I t you, many people at school called a ’phony prude.’ I know it was those who failed in their pursuit of ; since they couldn’t have , they started spreading rumors. When I was working as a salesperson at car shows, the school’s ’Yin and yang masters’ claid I did it to et wealthy n," Duanmu Yunji said softly.
Of course, Luofeng wholeheartedly believed her. After all, whether it was from analyzing the wish list or from knowing her for so long, if Duanmu Yunji were that kind of person, Luofeng might still play ’poker’ with her, but he wouldn’t care about her as much as he did.
"So, the two of you found common ground and beca good friends?" Luofeng asked.
"Yes!" Duanmu Yunji nodded. "We first t at the Friendship Ti sober bar. We were both feeling down at the ti and ended up becoming good friends."
"What about Ye Bing?" Luofeng asked curiously.
"Although Ye Bing and I are good friends, she cos from a well-off family. So, on so matters, Bingbing and I still see things differently," said Duanmu Yunji. "Rubing and I, on the other hand, not only shared similar predicants at school, but our family situations were also terrible."
"Oh?" Luofeng responded, his curiosity further piqued.
He rembered from previous looks at the wish list that so family-related issues were listed quite far down. But he couldn’t quite analyze the specific situations. Subsequently, Luofeng stopped enjoying browsing through the wish lists of the won he loved. He simply didn’t know what was on them anymore. Of course, this didn’t an he wouldn’t look at the top few wishes, but rather that he wouldn’t flip through dozens or hundreds of them. There was no need to understand them that thoroughly. He decided to trust his own heart and feelings instead. If one had to scrutinize everything like that, love would really lose its aning. Of course, when eting a new ’goddess,’ this tool was handy for getting to know her quickly. It was definitely worth using.
"Her family’s situation..."
Duanmu Yunji quickly began to describe Qin Rubing’s family situation, as well as her own. It took roughly fifteen minutes. Although not exactly the sa, there were many similarities. In a word, it was a matter of conflicting interests.
According to Duanmu Yunji, Qin Rubing couldn’t live on campus because no one would take care of her. Nor was anyone willing to give up their lower bunk for her.
No wonder Qin Rubing was always seeking out Duanmu Yunji and didn’t have her own circle of friends.
As for going ho, would her stepmother and stepsister relentlessly subject her to sarcastic tornt all day long? In a two-against-one situation, her ntal state would surely be on the brink of collapse, wouldn’t it? This would be extrely detrintal to her recovery.
"Master, let’s take Rubing in," Duanmu Yunji cooed, rubbing her head against Luofeng’s hair while doing so. She gave a light kiss to the corner of Luofeng’s mouth.
Luofeng responded with a passionate kiss that lasted for about a minute.
After they parted, Luofeng looked at her tenderly.
This Capital City Great Cat’s coquettish skills were indeed getting better and better. Brother Feng admitted he couldn’t resist. Alas, Qin Rubing was there. Otherwise, he might have gone straight for a pro move like ’the hand-on-sofa.’
"Didn’t we just get the guest bedroom ready?" Luofeng said, indicating he agreed to take Qin Rubing in.
Just for the record, this act was solely out of kindness; Brother Feng didn’t harbor any nefarious intentions! In cohabitation, does one always have to do sothing?
"Master, there’s one more thing," Duanmu Yunji said, her voice dripping with sweetness as she looked at Luofeng.
"Ah? What is it? Just say it," Luofeng responded.
"Rubing’s condition ans she can’t put weight on her left leg, right?"
Luofeng replied, "Yes, that’s right. What about it?"
"Our guest bathroom has a squat toilet. Considering Rubing’s condition, it definitely won’t be convenient for her," Duanmu Yunji whispered, her face blushing. "You sleep in the guest bedroom tonight. Don’t lock the door; I’ll co over in the middle of the night."
The guest bathroom in the apartnt indeed had a squat toilet. It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford to install a Sitting Toilet, but that type could beco very unhygienic if used by many different guests. The master bathroom, however, was only used by the primary occupants, so of course, it had a Sitting Toilet.
However, Luofeng was speechless. Was all that preamble just to get Qin Rubing into the master bedroom? But leaving the door unlocked in the middle of the night? Waiting for her? That sounded quite interesting...
Considering the apartnt’s construction standards, there should be soundproofing, right? Luofeng felt he definitely needed to make enough noise to trigger the sound-activated lights. AHEM. Damn soundproofing. If it weren’t soundproof... wouldn’t that be better? A bit thrilling! I’m secretly looking forward to it!
