Chapter 68 - 68
He had lowered his head in contemplation, but Liu Qingge thought he was ashamed after the scolding. His expression relaxed and his tone became less severe. "All our comrades don't understand why you insist on being so good to him."
Liu Qingge leaned slightly forwards and the bright candlelight painted a layer of warmth onto his snow-pale face. He asked tightly, "Or to say, those rumors, are they all true?"
He really had been too naive and innocent to believe that Liu-juju would turn up his nose to that gossip. Shen Qingqiu's grip tightened on his fan. "So even Liu-shidi would believe those nonsense rumors."
Liu Qingge sat straight again. "I don't believe them. But you have been wholeheartedly shielding that thankless wretch."
Shen Qingqiu said helplessly, "I haven't been shielding him. I just don't want to misunderstand him again."
Liu Qingge said coldly, "I don't understand the things between you two. It's easier to shift the mountains and rivers than to change one's essential character.1 Luo Binghe is absolutely not the benevolent type, you take good care."
He finished, rose, and walked out. Naturally, Shen Qingqiu also knew Luo Binghe was absolutely not the benevolent type. But, up until now he still could not determine whether or not he was the wicked type━still such a headache. Liu Qingge was almost out the door when he gave the small table a glimpse as he passed by and seemed to have seen something unbelievable, his foot stepping on air.
Raising his head, Shen Qingqiu saw that Liu Qingge still had not left the room. He sensed that something was off. "What?"
Liu Qingge stiffly turned his head, looking him up and down with the complex gaze of someone regarding something they had never seen before. After a while, he shook his head and finally opened the door to leave. In those short few steps, he seemed to have tripped over the door sill.
What is it?!
Shen Qingqiu slept soundly that night.
