Chapter 280: Truth Revealed After Drinking
It was getting late, and she would definitely be uncomfortable sleeping here. Ji Meiqing and Lu Yu hadn't returned yet either. So she booked a top-tier room with the innkeeper.
After taking good care of Zhang Xiaofei, he was about to leave, but he was worried about her, so he booked another room next to Zhang Xiaofei's so that he could take care of her.
On the other side, after Lu Yu and Ji Meiqing had finished playing, they headed home. Lu Yu was still a little worried and asked, "I'm still afraid that Qiu Ze might do something. Let's go to the restaurant and see."
Ji Meiqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have to trust my judgment. Don't worry, I told Xiao Er to control the scene and notify me if anything happens. Look, there's no news yet, so everything will be fine. Besides, I think they both have feelings for each other, but neither of them has made the first move. So I'll help them out. After all, they really are destined to be together, falling for each other in such a short and special time."
Upon hearing her words, Lu Yu raised a question: "But they are both people being forced into marriage. Besides, Young Master Qiu already has someone he likes. How could he like two girls at the same time?"
Ji Meiqing rolled her eyes again and said, "Did Young Master Qiu tell you who he has his eye on? No, right? So how can you be sure that person isn't Xiao Fei? Actually, I'm not sure either, which is why I left the two of them alone. If that person isn't Xiao Fei, based on my understanding of Young Master Qiu's character, he will take good care of Xiao Fei and won't overstep his bounds. If it is Xiao Fei, he will take even better care of her and won't overstep his bounds either."
Lu Yu, bewildered, asked, "You mean...?"
"What I mean is, what are you worried about? You should worry about us. It's so late, and we're still out here. Okay, let's stop talking and go home. We can talk when we get home." After saying that, he started walking forward, but unfortunately, he hadn't taken two steps when he heard a cry of pain.
Lu Yu quickly followed, and seeing Ji Meiqing squatting on the ground, he also squatted down and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Ji Meiqing clutched her ankle in pain and said, "I... I just twisted my ankle!"
Without a word, Lu Yu carried her home. "The clinic must be closed now. Let's go home first and I'll massage it for you. I learned some things about this when I was practicing martial arts. If you're still not better by tomorrow, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Ji Meiqing nestled on his back, closing her mouth in bliss, as if her feet no longer hurt. "Okay, I'll do as you say, Brother Lu. You haven't carried me like this in so long. You even carried Xiao Fei last time!"
Lu Yu said, "I didn't carry you on my back because I always hugged you. As for Xiao Fei, if I didn't carry her back to the house, would I let her sleep on the roof all night? Aren't you just being jealous for no reason?"
The two chatted for a while and then arrived home. Ji Meiqing said, "How come it feels like we're home so quickly?"
Lu Yu put her on the bed and said, "That's because I have long legs and can run fast."
Although Ji Meiqing was not short, she was still much shorter than Lu Yu. Hearing him say that, she pouted and replied, "So what if you have long legs? Your body and hair are given to you by your parents. You are all given to you by your parents."
Lu Yu stopped arguing with her, took off her shoes, walked to the edge of the bed, placed her feet on his lap, and began to massage them. "How could you be so careless?"
Ji Meiqing endured the pain and said, "How was I supposed to know? It just happened so suddenly." Seeing her pained expression, Lu Yu softened his grip. "I remember I have some liniment for sprains and bruises. I'll go get it in a bit, apply it to you, and then lie down and rest. We'll go back to Rongcheng in a few days."
Ji Meiqing nodded, "Okay, I miss Xiaojin, Xiaoshen and Tianzhu so much. I wonder if Granny Mei can handle them." Lu Yu applied the ointment to her, blew out the lamp, lay down next to her, and said, "Alright, go to sleep."
The next day, Zhang Xiaofei got up rubbing her head, which ached even more than usual. She recalled the events of the previous day and tapped her head. "How did I get drunk again? I don't even know if I was rude. It's one thing for a girl like me to get drunk at home, but... Where am I?" She stretched and opened the door. "Looks like I'm still in the restaurant, but why am I all alone?" As she spoke, the door next door opened, and Zhang Xiaofei saw Qiu Ze walk out.
Qiu Ze greeted Zhang Xiaofei, "Good morning, Miss Zhang."
Zhang Xiaofei nodded and said, "Young Master Qiu, good morning!"
Seeing her surprised look, Qiu Ze said, "You were drunk yesterday. Let's go downstairs and have breakfast first, and I'll tell you what happened."
"Uh, okay," Zhang Xiaofei said, scratching her head.
Qiu Ze put some food on her plate. Zhang Xiaofei, a little unaccustomed to his change, asked, "Young Master Qiu, did I say something I shouldn't have last night? And why didn't you go home? Why are you sleeping next to me?"
Seeing that she had asked so many questions, Qiu Ze said slowly, "You got drunk last night. After I took good care of you, I was worried so I stayed next door to make it easier to take care of you. Also, you did say some things last night, and I thought about them all night. I think I understand some things now."
Zhang Xiaofei drank the porridge in her bowl. She had drunk alcohol last night, and the porridge was making her stomach feel better. She asked, "What have you figured out?"
"Zhang Xiaofei, I think I've fallen for you," Qiu Ze said earnestly, looking at her. Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofei dropped the spoon she was holding.
"What...what did you say? Don't you have someone you like?" Zhang Xiaofei asked, sounding a little jealous.
Roy Chiu replied, "What if I told you that the person I like is you? And that I also know how you feel?"
Zhang Xiaofei asked, puzzled, "Mine?"
"Yes, you did say some things last night. You said you like me. Since we like each other, I don't think there's anything to hide."
Zhang Xiaofei smiled at first, then frowned and said, "But our family..."
Qiu Ze held her hand and said, "We'll face this together. Isn't the family trying to arrange a marriage? Judging from your tone, your family must be a large one. In that case, there's nothing to worry about. I didn't go home all night, and I didn't have anyone follow me. I was afraid they would search the whole world for me, so I'm going back now. I'll come find you. It'll be at Yuanyang Tower."
Zhang Xiaofei nodded. "Okay, I'll talk to my dad about it today."
When Ji Meiqing and Lu Yu arrived at the restaurant, Qiu Ze had already left, and Zhang Xiaofei had almost finished her breakfast. Lu Yu sat down and quickly asked, "How are you? Are you alright? Qiu Ze didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"Don't worry, Brother Lu. We've made some real progress after spending the night together. We'll explain everything to our families. I'll go see my dad in a bit, so you don't need to worry."
