Leng Qingqiu noticed that she had been looking for a long time without hearing Gu Yan's annoying voice, which made her wonder.
Had he left?
Thinking this, she softly called out, "Gu Yan?"
On Gu Yan's side, he was about to respond, but his eyes darted as a mischievous smile crept onto his face, as if he'd thought of something fun.
He held his breath, deliberately staying silent as he slowly stood up and backed away.
Leng Qingqiu, receiving no reply, assumed Gu Yan had left.
She felt a strange sensation in her heart.
"This guy, how could he leave without saying a word?"
Leng Qingqiu shook her head, perhaps unaccustomed to the sudden silence in the room that had been noisy before.
Before Gu Yan came, she had always been in this environment.
Darkness, pitch-black darkness, and silence.
In this study, Leng Qingqiu could only hear the sound of her own breathing.
Every day, all she did was constantly improve, improve, and improve again.
She had to keep enhancing herself to find the culprit behind everything and avenge her family!
Of course, even while staying in the study day and night,
She never forgot the time.
After all, her computer-like brain could perfectly calculate every minute and second of the current time.
Tsk....
"Why am I suddenly thinking so much?"
Leng Qingqiu chuckled self-mockingly. In the past, she would never have thought this much.
But today, when Gu Yan came and talked about marrying her, buzzing in her ear for a while,
She felt like something had been added to her life.
It was as if her daily schedule of [absorb knowledge, absorb knowledge, absorb knowledge] had forcibly added [wifey baby, learn knowledge, wifey baby].
Pah! Why was she thinking about this so much!
Leng Qingqiu's face reddened slightly, her mind inexplicably recalling the pet names Gu Yan had used earlier.
"Whew, no, no, I need to calm down."
Leng Qingqiu felt she really couldn't handle such mushy words, wondering how Gu Yan could say them so easily.
Thinking this, she stood up and walked directly towards a certain direction.
It was a bookshelf, filled with her books.
Having stayed here for many years, she knew exactly where everything was, which book was in which position.
However, as luck would have it,
Gu Yan was blocking the bookshelf she was heading towards.
?
Why is Qingqiu walking towards me?
And what was she thinking about so intently over there?
Gu Yan covered his mouth, unsure of what to do as Leng Qingqiu gradually approached.
Especially since,
Leng Qingqiu had her eyes closed, walking towards him with a cool and elegant face.
It was really... really...
Who could resist this?!
Gu Yan swallowed hard. No, no, he couldn't do anything stupid at this crucial moment of improving their relationship.
So...
He glanced at the large door nearby.
Since Leng Qingqiu thought he had left, he should quietly slip away.
Judging by Leng Qingqiu's movements, she was probably going for a book behind his current position, so he just needed to move to the side a bit.
Thinking this, Gu Yan gently shifted his body.
On Leng Qingqiu's side, she walked towards the bookshelf following her usual route.
However, she had once again overlooked something.
That was...
Because Gu Yan had come, he had moved a chair to sit not far away.
Leng Qingqiu walked without any guard.
The next second.
Thud!
"Ah!"
Leng Qingqiu felt something trip her, and she instinctively cried out as her body tilted forward.
Unable to see, her heart was filled with panic.
If she fell, then maybe...
Maybe she'd lose her pure love interest!
Gu Yan, who was about to sneak away, was startled. He quickly rushed over: "Qingqiu!"
With a loud thump!
The two fell to the ground.
Leng Qingqiu fell into Gu Yan's arms.
"Ouch!"
Gu Yan was about to cry out pathetically.
[Saved pure love interest from falling, +10 points]
"Eh! Haha!"
But following the prompt in his mind, he suddenly laughed out loud.
Leng Qingqiu, who had braced herself for pain, was stunned.
She... had been saved?
This laughter...
"Gu Yan?"
Leng Qingqiu asked hesitantly.
But wait, hadn't Gu Yan left? He didn't respond earlier.
Could it be...
Leng Qingqiu seemed to realize something. Combining that with the laughter, she slightly raised her head, looking at Gu Yan expressionlessly: "You deliberately didn't speak, just to see me fall?"
This... jerk!!
Leng Qingqiu felt annoyed thinking about this. What love-struck fool?
This person deliberately wanted to see her embarrassed?!
Alright, alright! So this is how you want to play it!
Hiss!
"I've been wronged, Qingqiu! Didn't you say not to let me speak? So I didn't dare say anything!"
Gu Yan certainly wouldn't admit to this, and he really hadn't intentionally wanted to see her fall. That was purely accidental!
"You! You know very well what your intentions were!"
Leng Qingqiu didn't want to hear Gu Yan's lame excuses. She immediately struggled to get up from Gu Yan's body: "Let go of me! You jerk!"
"Eh, cough cough cough!! Qingqiu, you're making me uncomfortable like this!"
"Shut up! You just wanted to see me embarrassed! Who cares if you're uncomfortable!"
"But-"
"Shut up!"
She used her hands to push against Gu Yan's chest, trying to stand up, but didn't realize that her frantic movements had led to a rather awkward position between her and Gu Yan.
Just then.
Click!
Leng Ling'er, with her dyed yellow hair, anxiously burst in: "Sis! I heard a loud noise, did that pervert Gu Yan do anything to... you..."
But as she spoke, she found herself at a loss for words.
Because the intimate scene before her eyes left her completely stunned.
She saw her beloved elder sister, who was always so intellectual in front of her,
Now... with her hands pressed against Gu Yan's chest, and a very pained expression.
"Is that Ling'er? Come help me."
Leng Qingqiu heard her sister's voice and spoke up.
"Help... do you... still need my help?! Big sis, wuwuwu!! How could you do such a thing with this kind of man after meeting him for just half a day, waaaaaah!!"
Leng Ling'er burst into tears on the spot.
?
Gu Yan slowly raised a question mark, and Leng Qingqiu also slowly raised a question mark.
.......
.......
In the room.
The two sisters, Leng Qingqiu and Leng Ling'er, sat on the bed.
Gu Yan sat on a chair opposite them.
The three had a face-to-face talk!
"So, to prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future!"
"You!! Are not allowed to be alone with my big sister anymore!"
The misunderstanding was cleared up.
Leng Qingqiu remained silent on the side. She seemed to understand what kind of misunderstanding her actions with Gu Yan in the dark had caused for others.
So now she could only express her embarrassed inner thoughts through silence.
Damn it! How could this happen! And in front of my sister! Damn it! All my dignity is gone!
Gu Yan looked at his yellow-haired sister-in-law with slightly red eyes from crying, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, I promise you everything."
Hehe, that's what I'm saying, but anyway, little sister-in-law will go to school later, so won't I be able to get close to Qingqiu whenever I want?!
