Chapter 51: Why Run If You're Not Being Chased?

  Su Jing's hands and feet were numb, Su Cong was silent at first, then burst out laughing, with his hands in his pockets, his peach blossom eyes staring tightly at Su Jing, saying: "No matter if you're doing it on purpose or not, you're still responsible, how about that? Just consider me your girlfriend!" Su Jing was shocked, her mouth agape, asking: "What? Girlfriend?" Su Cong looked very innocent, nodding: "Yes, that's right, just like that! It's settled then! Since you've been so busy lately, I'll come find you again after a while...". Just as Su Jing was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, Su Cong suddenly took a few steps forward, stopped in front of her, and quickly gave her a kiss.

  Su Yun was startled and her head spun, she didn't even have time to react properly, only barely grazing her cheek. Covering her face, Su Yun hastily retreated backwards, the stimulation was too great that she let out a sharp cry of "ah". Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by her side, the strong wind blowing Su Yun's hair into disarray. Her shoulder was grasped and she was pulled into someone's chest. A low growl came from above her head: "Who are you? What did you do to Su Yun?" Su Yun lifted her head, meeting Nie Yuan's furious face.

  Su Cong was also stunned by Su Yin's sudden shout, and when he saw someone suddenly appear, he stood up with his eyebrows raised, extremely disdainfully opening his mouth: "I'm Su Yin's boyfriend! What does it have to do with you if I want to kiss her?" One sentence made everyone who heard it stunned. Nie Yuan furrowed his brow and lowered his head, inquiringly looking at Su Yin. Su Yin widened her eyes and shook her head repeatedly: "No, absolutely not, he's not my boyfriend!"

  Nie Yuan's eyes widened as he glared at Su Cong, his anger boiling over: "Did you hear that? Su Yin has already said it! You're not her boyfriend!" But unexpectedly, Su Cong just shrugged and ignored Nie Yuan, smiling at Su Yin instead: "I'll come find you again next time! Bye bye!" With that, he waved goodbye and turned to leave.

  Looking afar, Su Zong walked far away. Not far from there, several people jumped into view. Zhi Yu had an excited face, Huang Xiao Yu had a surprised face, and slightly revealed complexity. A pair of eyes met, Su Yin couldn't help but pause, hastily turning away her gaze, and responded to Nie Yuan's concerned inquiry. Seeing Su Yin avoid eye contact, Qi Xiu quietly stood still, dressed in black, with an expressionless face, and deep eyes flowing with undercurrents. Zhi Yu smiled with narrowed eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What? Angry? Jealous?"

  Zixiu withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhiyu with disdain and blurted out: "Idiot!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhiyu wasn't angry at all, shrugged his shoulders, just now, he didn't miss it, this is going to be fun!

  Here is the translation:

  The whole day, Qi Xiu's words were unexpectedly quiet, but Su Yin didn't have time to notice, she was still feeling a bit bewildered from that morning, her heart was anxious and restless! After the second class in the afternoon, there were no more classes. Qi Xiu hastily said goodbye to Su Yin, she had to go help Ge Lu at the medical school. It's almost activity period, Ge Lu is unusually busy, so she naturally followed along. Su Yin nodded casually, not needing to think of an excuse to get rid of Qi Xiu, this was better anyway.

  Walking slowly, one after the other. Qi Xiuyi didn't say a word all day, his face as calm and indifferent as usual, but it made people feel that he was in a bad mood and it's best not to provoke him! But Su Yin had been with him for a whole day and still hadn't noticed anything, or even if she did, she just pretended not to see.

  So, until they entered the apartment, Su Yin went to the kitchen to rummage through it, and neither of them made a sound. Listening to the faint clinking of porcelain, Qi Xiu violently threw himself onto the sofa, stretching his limbs, tilting his head back, and staring at the ceiling.

  "You're not happy!" Wu Fang slipped out of his arms and sat down beside him, still smiling beautifully. Qi Xiu gave him a glance but didn't say anything. After a while, Wu Fang also didn't mind, sitting quietly. "That guy has problems! You go check it out!" Wu Fang smiled, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Has problems? Him? He's just an ordinary person!" Qi Xiu's gaze suddenly turned sharp, glaring at Wu Fang fiercely. Wu Fang hastily raised his hands in surrender: "Okay okay! I know!" After speaking, he still sat there properly, smiling brightly.

  "Qī Xiū gazed at him with an inexplicable look and said, 'Why haven't you left yet?' Wǔ Fāng slowly got up, adjusted his collar, and spoke in a slow and measured tone, 'Master, you're very concerned about Miss Sū Yīn.' His voice still lingered in the air as he vanished like a shadow. Qī Xiū furrowed his brow, staring at the empty space with great bewilderment."

  On this side, Su Yun thought for a whole day and still couldn't figure out Su Cong's psychology, didn't know which act he was playing. Can't think through, can't penetrate, so she simply stopped thinking about it, might as well lay her cards on the table. This matter, she doesn't want to entangle anymore, needs to cut the knot quickly! Having made up her mind, Su Yun immediately felt much lighter and cooked with more energy.

  Qixiu is very picky and doesn't eat many things, basically not eating anything from the ginger, garlic, and onion family. He even won't eat green peppers or carrots. Honestly, seeing Qixiu staring at the green peppers and carrots with a black face, she really had to try hard not to laugh! This flaw is really too cute! However, thanks to his pickiness, her cooking skills have improved by more than one level in this short period of time, and are constantly moving towards even greater heights, striving for perfection in color, fragrance, and taste.

  As she thought of this, she secretly resented it and unconsciously exerted force with her hands, causing a fish to be chopped "bang bang" loudly! Outside, Qi Xiu frowned and looked over, wondering what was being chopped, was someone being chopped? Before long, the aroma wafted out from inside, Su Yun stared at the soup in the pot, her mind had already turned several times. These past few days were too busy, she couldn't find an opportunity to bring it up, she pondered whether she could bring it up now. In any case, preparing first was better.

  So, at the dinner table, Su Yin carefully chose her words, looked up and glanced around a few times. But Qi Xiu simply ignored her, savoring each bite slowly and elegantly. He lightly glanced at Su Yin, who trembled and immediately lowered her head to eat. Finally finishing their meal, Su Yin wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. She raised her eyes to see Master Qi staring at her, with an expression that seemed to say he had been waiting for her for a long time.

  Su Yun sat down without a word. Qi Xiu raised his chin: "Speak, what's the matter?" Su Yun thought for a moment and said: "That is, I want to confirm my training time and then free up some time." Qi Xiu crossed his fingers and asked: "What for?" Su Yun replied truthfully: "I'm going to find a part-time job, I need some spare time."

  Qizhao raised an eyebrow: "Are you short of money?" Su Yin's family background was absolutely good, it was impossible to be short of money. This was what he recognized, but the fact was that Su Yin was indeed short of money, and tears welled up in her eyes! Su Yin nodded honestly, Qizhao asked: "What for?"

  Su Yin choked, couldn't he say something else? Always being so brief and to the point, pretending to be cool! In her heart, she was cursing, but on the surface, she didn't show anything: "I need to earn rent money, I'll move out." Qi Xiu stared at her, opening his mouth: "Living alone is not good for you!" She naturally understood, but still insisted: "I must move out!" Qi Xiu looked at her with a firm gaze, not saying a word.

  After a while, he finally spoke up: "Where are you moving to?" Su Yin blinked and shook her head: "I haven't found a place yet." Qi Xiu thought for a moment: "You'll stay here." Su Yin didn't react at first: "What? Stay here? Where?"

  Qizhao gazed at her coldly, Su Yin suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and quickly reacted, shaking her head: "No no no! Don't need to! I can't live here!" Cohabitation? Are you kidding me?! This is within the school grounds! What if they get discovered?! How would she be able to show her face again?! She wouldn't be able to survive the gossip from those girls! Qizhao didn't think that far, but this apartment was indeed a relatively safe haven for Su Yin. He had set up several large arrays, and ordinary demons and monsters absolutely couldn't get in!

  Being so explicitly rejected by Su Yin, Qi Xiu felt a bit stifled. He couldn't bear the humiliation of being rebuffed, so he coldly snorted and stopped talking. After some thought, he realized that he had indeed been somewhat inconsiderate, so he temporarily dropped the matter. Qi Xiu thought for a moment, then asked: "What kind of part-time job are you looking for?" Su Yin replied: "Tutoring."

  It was late before Su Yin was let go, probably because Qi Xiu was in a bad mood. Su Yin had been scolded badly and her right hand was still shaking with numbness. As she stepped out of the corridor, Su Yin's face looked bitter, and she complained to Wu Fang beside her: "What's wrong with him? Who provoked him? He's like a time bomb every day, just knowing how to bully me!"

  Wu Fang smiled and comforted Su Yin: "Master is just worried about you! Miss Su, remember to massage your right hand when you get back." Su Yin glanced at Wu Fang with tears in her eyes: "Wu Fang, you're really too good! Who's like that guy? Ah, I wish I had a boyfriend like you!" Wu Fang smiled and shook his head: "Miss Su is praising me too much." Su Yin looked at Wu Fang: "Wu Fang, just call me Su Yin, calling me Miss is weird!"

  Wu Fang bowed and stretched out his body in a elegant arc: "Alright, Su Yin." As Wu Fang straightened up, Su Yin looked at him with a strange expression and asked: "Wu Fang, were you actually a butler when you were alive?" Wu Fang smiled and shook his head: "No." Su Yin was shocked: "Not? Then are you a western noble? A young prince from some country?" Wu Fang smiled as he watched Su Yin's imagination run wild... In the dark of night, something hidden behind the trees watched Su Yin "talking to herself" as she slowly walked away.
