Chapter 64: Unrequited Love

  Xiang Hong stared at Ouyang Mengmeng with a meaningful and inexplicable gaze, feeling uncomfortable all over, and asked bluntly:

  "Hurry up and say what you want, I'm in a rush."

  Ouyang Mengmeng circled around her for half a turn, squeezing out a sentence from between her teeth: "Qin Qing is waiting for you outside, let me bring a message."

  "Thank you!" Xiang Hong tightened the shoulder strap of her backpack and walked away.

  Ouyang Mengmeng couldn't let it go like this, and followed closely behind her, leaning in to whisper coldly into her ear: "Last night, where did you go?"

  Xiang Hong's heart skipped a beat, she stopped and turned her head, raising an eyebrow: "This has nothing to do with you, does it?"

  "You don't say, I already know! Qin Qing is mine, warning you to stay away from him, otherwise... the consequences - I won't be foolish enough to give you another chance to catch me off guard." Ouyang Mengmeng threatened viciously.

  Xiang Hong is now in a good mood, having grasped the crux of the problem. Her usual disgust at seeing her has instantly disappeared. Perhaps she herself has felt a bit of the sweetness of love and hopes that this foolish girl's love will go smoothly too.

  Then kindly reminded:

  "Ouyang Mengmeng, you like Qin Qing, that's not wrong, but you're spending all your energy on preventing other girls from getting close to him, which is clearly a huge mistake. I think you should focus on improving your own abilities and cultivating common interests with him, deepening your understanding of each other. Otherwise, apart from your family background, what do you have to attract Qin Qing?"

  Ouyang Mengmeng saw that she was still so calm and sarcastic, plus she had always been pampered by others, where had she ever heard such harsh words, for a moment she was choked speechless, her eyes rolled back.

  She gradually came to her senses and thought that what she said also made some sense, feeling even more speechless. Suddenly, she had a bit of an epiphany and stopped thinking about joining in the commotion.

  Scarlet shoulder, flew out in an instant.

  Qin Qing saw Sang Hong jumping and running over, her gait had the elasticity and vitality that he yearned for, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes sparkled, and she looked at her with a bright smile:

  "Xiang Hong, what's wrong? I've been waiting very patiently!"

  As he drew closer and saw her still carrying luggage, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Where are you going?"

  "Hehe, you've come just in time, saving me from having to go bid farewell to you."

  Xiang Hong smiled and said she would be leaving for a while.

  Qin Qing's eyes stared unblinkingly at her, his gaze following the elegant curve of her neck as her eyebrows danced with excitement on her lively little face.

  Suddenly, his eyes dimmed, and his fingers involuntarily stretched out to touch the faint pink mark that was not covered by his collar.

  On her delicate porcelain-like neck, a light pink actually had a hint of pale purple - it was a hickey.

  Xiang Hong was caught off guard by his sudden movement, and after coming to her senses, she hastily stretched out her hand to block his, scolding: "Speak if you're going to speak, don't use your hands or feet!"

  Qin Qing narrowed his eyes and gazed at her, his wildly beating heart slowly losing its rhythm. He sorrowfully stared at the faint pink hue that had quietly appeared on her delicate face, and suddenly realized that this capricious girl was so lovely in this moment that it moved him, shocked him, and shattered his heart.

  Because at this moment, he clearly knew that he was still one step late after all.

  Who made her so charming?

  Who is that lucky person?

  Liu Daoyi? Impossible, he has a family and children.

  He could only hide the doubts in his heart, smiled and brushed off the tip of his finger, covering up the dimness in his eyes: "A small bug, didn't you go camping last night, or how would you get stained with this stuff?"

  "Uh - where is it."

  Xiang Hong's voice trailed off, clearly lowering down, she knew he had discovered something, and immediately raised her hand to awkwardly pinch the collar of her shirt, shrinking her neck downwards.

  "Just kidding, you took it seriously. I brought the DVD of last night's party for you. Last night - you were on stage, really - it was absolutely fantastic!"

  Qin Qing said, handing her the box in his hand.

  Xiang Hong said thank you, pretending to be happy and opened it up, trying hard to dispel the awkward atmosphere between them: "Don't talk nonsense, in front of someone like you, where is my dignity?"

  I'm just a humble dog's tail grass, but... how can CDs come out so quickly?"

  Inside the packaging paper, there was a beautiful cover. Sang Hong was stunned for a moment - the her in the picture had sparkling eyes and a radiant complexion, shining brightly like a superstar.

  "I've never taken such a good-looking photo, comparable to a big star, is this really me?!"

  Xiang Hong touched her own small face, admiring it repeatedly with great satisfaction.

  Qin Qing was amused by her exaggerated tone and couldn't help but tease: "I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."

  Xiang Hong struggled to move her eyes away from the seal skin, looked up at his obviously somewhat tired eyes, and joked:

  "What's a thick face? I'm just a dusty pearl shining brightly, hey, hey, hey - don't look at me like that, or I'll misunderstand you as my fan."

  Qin Qing was worried that she would see through his thoughts and tease him, so he could only smile and look away.

  Xiang Hong suddenly thought of something, her eyes rolled around and she whispered:

  "Qin Qing, this video of the party tonight, if we just leave it at home as a keepsake, it would be a waste. I have a great idea that can make good use of it. Are you interested?"

  Qin Qing lowered his eyebrows and glared at her: "What kind of wicked idea are you coming up with again to scheme against me?"

  "Hey, that's going too far! You rarely show a good heart, but you're still treating me like a donkey. Whatever, I'm out of here." Xiang Hong turned around and was about to leave.

  Qin Qing reached out and grabbed her bag: "Who said you could leave after saying half a sentence?"

  Xiang Hong turned around and smiled brightly at him, then took off a strap from her backpack and pulled out a small leather-bound book. She flipped it open, found a page, and pointed to it for him to see:

  "Ah, this school, it's in Country Y, I've checked the information, based on the high school entrance exam scores, I plan to apply;"

  Let me share some information with you, the school has a long history and offers very generous scholarships. Send a copy of the video from last night's party to this address on your computer, your performance last night was stunning, so we won't be seen as just bookworms who only know how to study hard, and our chances of being admitted will increase greatly.

  Hehe, look at me, I've told you so much, but don't even know if you're interested?

  Qin Qing glanced at it briefly and memorized the website, a smile playing on the corners of his eyes as he looked at her: "Are you planning to study abroad?"

  Xiang Hong winked at him, pulled his shoulder over, and leaned in to whisper:

  "Shh, this is a secret, only the two of us know. I think 'both hands grasp, both hands must be strong' in order to have a grip on the future. I'm worried about the special forces matter, it can't be forced."

  "If you want to get promoted in the military, the best and most stable way is to go out and broaden your horizons. After all, life is a big adventure, and if there's an opportunity, do your best to seize it. This is my most precious life experience, I'd like to share with you!"

  "Okay, I'll apply with you."

  Qin Qing looked at her spirited little face and suddenly felt that things might not be as hopeless as he had thought, was she sharing such a crucial secret with him a good omen?

  "Life is a big adventure, seize the opportunity and do your best!" - This sentence is quite good.
