Chapter 43: The Uninvited Guest
"Ahem," a clear voice broke up the lively laughter in the courtyard somewhat inappropriately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Ahh Qing Ge..."Peng Yue's body shook, and his body, which was still running just now, suddenly stopped, and his movements seemed a little restrained.
Ziling turned her back to Qiu Qingge, still smiling to herself. As soon as Peng Yue stopped in front, Ziling was unexpected, and suddenly fell into Peng Yue's arms.
"I'm here... Isn't it timely? Qiu Qingge frowned, his fingers tightly rubbed the corners of his clothes, and his voice trembled a little.
In fact, Qiu Qingge had wanted to come to Pengfu for a long time, but there was a "ghost" in his heart, and it felt a little awkward to come here, so he pressed the thoughts in his heart. But Peng Yue has not given himself a clear explanation of the matter between him and Ziling until now, Qiu Qingge really didn't know what to do, so he decided to come to Peng's Mansion today to find out, but he didn't expect to encounter this scene.
"No... No..."Peng Yue's restless hands were a little unsure of where to put them, and the expression on his face was very embarrassed.
"Sister Qingge..."Ziling didn't expect Qiu Qingge to come in suddenly, and she also looked a little restrained. I saw that she hurriedly got up from Peng Yue's arms, gathered her hair in a somewhat messy bun in a panic, and lowered her head embarrassedly.
"Sister Ling'er, your injury... But better? Qiu Qingge smiled reluctantly, standing there not knowing what to say. How could she not know that the abrasions on Ziling's legs had already healed, how long had passed, and how could it not have healed? According to the current situation, it was herself who was hurt, she didn't dare to think about what the situation was just now, but she couldn't help but guess wildly. Suddenly, Qiu Qingge felt an inexplicable heartache.
"Alright... There's nothing going on..."Ziling's face was flushed, and she didn't know why, when Qiu Qingge bumped into herself and Peng Yue fighting, Ziling felt a little guilty in her heart.
"Then I'll rest assured..."Qiu Qingge saw Peng Yue standing there like a log, without saying a word, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. Thinking about the scene he saw just now, Qiu Qingge really had an urge to leave.
"Qingge, what are you doing standing there, hurry up and come into the house..."Peng Yue seemed to have just come back to his senses, and hurriedly walked in front of Qiu Qingge, but he couldn't hide the panic and embarrassment in his eyes.
"I... Actually, today... There's nothing going on..."Qiu Qingge's face was expressionless, as if his feet were frozen, and he couldn't move his steps at all.
"Why, there must be something to get here, and Sister Qingge can't come here to play without something?" Ziling was more generous, and pulled Qiu Qingge in.
"It seems that Sister Ling'er's injury is indeed healed..."Qiu Qingge smiled bitterly, but he didn't know if his words with a sharp edge, Ziling and the "stupid melon" in front of him understood it. Looking at Ziling in front of him like a housewife, he led himself to the lobby with a smile, and then thought about the scene where Ziling and Peng Yue were chasing and fighting just now, Qiu Qingge really wanted to shake off the Ziling hand that was on his body.
"Qingge didn't say a word when he came here, I'll let my subordinates prepare..."Peng Yue said after the two of them.
"Yes, it seems that the next time I come here, I will inform me in advance..."Qiu Qingge said softly, but Peng Yue felt a chill behind him.
Ziling naturally heard the different meaning of Qiu Qingge's words, and the smile on his face froze, and the words he was about to say hello just now were buried in his stomach at once.
"Wei'er, hurry up and serve tea to Sister Qingge..."Ziling saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and it happened that the maid Hongwei was looking at the side at this time, so she called her over.
"These days... What is Brother Peng busy with? Qiu Qingge looked at Peng Yue, and the other meaning in his eyes was indeed exposed. Obviously, she came to Peng Yue to ask for an explanation. Now she knew very well that asking in private was of little avail, so she could only come here to have a look by herself.
"No... I'm not busy with anything..."Peng Yue was still like cutting wood, with a smile on his face, "Actually, you know all the things I'm busy with..."
"Really?" Qiu Qingge took a sip of the hot tea in his hand. He didn't raise his head, "It seems that Brother Peng really lifted me, I really don't know many things, I really didn't expect that the injury on Ling'er's sister's leg is not good, why did Brother Peng cause people to chase and fight in the courtyard..."
The meaning of "provocation" in Qiu Qingge's words was already extremely explicit, coupled with a slightly strange tone, even Hongwei, who was waiting next to her, didn't feel a chill behind her.
"Your tea is a little cold, let's pour you another cup..."
"You don't have to..."Qiu Qingge deflected softly, dodging Hongwei's push.
"Actually, Ling'er's injury has healed..."Peng Yue coughed twice, and he didn't know how to deal with the "volcano that may erupt at any time" in front of him, "This is not Ling'er's sister's initial recovery from a serious illness, plus she is in a good mood today, the weather... It's okay, so accompany her to relax in the courtyard..."Peng Yue wanted to explain a few more words, but he couldn't say anything else.
"Sister Ling'er's injury is healed, I am happy in my heart, where did you get so much gossip..."Qiu Qingge had a joking tone, but he didn't forget to glared at Peng Yue fiercely with a sharp gaze.
"Sister Qingge hasn't been here for a few days, and I don't know what Sister Qingge has been busy with recently?" Ziling leaned forward, and her voice unconsciously raised.
In fact, Ziling now has a slight anger in her heart, since Qiu Qingge came in, her performance of "not being good" is indeed too clear. If Ziling was still a little ashamed in her heart when Qiu Qingge came in at the beginning, then now the guilt in Ziling's heart is gone, replaced by a little anger and a little disgust.
"What can I be busy with, it's just boring every day..."Qiu Qingge looked up at Peng Yue, and when he saw him as a thief, he lowered his head as if he was a thief, snorted coldly, and lowered his head as well, "Actually, the most boring thing is to wait every day, and... I can't wait for a result..."Qiu Qingge said, and put the teacup heavily on the table.
"I don't know what Sister Qingge is waiting for?" Ziling felt that the expression on her face was a little fake and stiff at this time. She asked Qiu Qingge while looking at Peng Yue with some concern. Ziling is not stupid, she can also think of who Qiu Qingge said this for. Since Qiu Qingge was waiting, what was she waiting for. Could it be that Peng Yue had already given her some promise, thinking of the handkerchief on Peng Yue's body, Ziling felt nervous for no reason.
"Of course I'm waiting for the result..."Qiu Qingge smiled brightly, "I'm also the eldest and the youngest, of course I have to think about it for the future..."
"Sure enough..."Ziling's heart sank, but she swallowed this sentence into her stomach, but her brows furrowed uncontrollably.
At this time, Ziling's brain was blank, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards Peng Yue, only to find that Peng Yue did raise his hand and speak.
"Where is Miss Qingge... Do you still need to consider yourself for such good conditions? Peng Yue's words were intentional, and his title also changed, deliberately wanting to distance himself. At the same time, he secretly signaled with his eyes, hoping that Qiu Qingge would not tell the matter. Thinking of Ziling's performance that day, Peng Yue was afraid for a while.
Qiu Qingge is so smart, the tone and performance in Peng Yue's words are already very clear, and Qiu Qingge has also found the answer he wants: Peng Yue didn't explain the matter of the two to Ziling clearly at all! And thinking of the scene of Ziling and Peng Yue fighting in the courtyard, recalling the eye contact between the two just now, the tacit understanding of their movements, and the cooperation of their words, they had never done it before! What happened to the two of them in these days, Qiu Qingge couldn't imagine it, and he didn't dare to think about it. Most things in the world are lost to imagination, and Qiu Qingge is now getting deeper and deeper from this "quagmire".
"Yes, Brother Peng is right..."Qiu Qingge's tone was cold, "I don't need to think about it myself... My dad has already taken care of everything for me in the Northwest..."
"Really?" When Ziling heard this, she was pleasantly surprised, "It turns out that good things are coming, I want to congratulate Sister Qingge first..."
"No need to congratulate, I'm just saying... My father will take care of it for me, but he doesn't have an eyebrow yet..."Qiu Qingge glanced at Peng Yue with his spare eyes and said word by word, "But I really can't wait, and I don't know when I will get a result..."
Obviously, Qiu Qingge's words revealed a threat, a sense of an ultimatum to Peng Yue, she really had no choice, she could only use this way, hoping that Peng Yue would be able to give herself a clear answer.
"So that's the case, it doesn't matter, there will always be good things, haha..." Ziling grinned, interrupting the momentary eye contact between Qiu Qingge and Peng Yue. Sure enough, when Ziling heard that Qiu Qingge's father had other arrangements for her in the northwest, her hanging heart finally let go. Knowing that his "Brother Yun" would not be snatched away, Ziling instantly returned to a "child with a low IQ".
But Peng Yue understood the meaning of Qiu Qingge's words, and his heart became irritable. Now his attitude towards Qiu Qingge is contradictory, Qiu Qingge's father has become a big problem in his heart, and Ziling's arrangement is also an unknown that is difficult to solve. At this time, Qiu Qingge wanted to use her father's words about her family's search for her in the northwest to stimulate herself, which not only did not make Peng Yue feel a sense of crisis, but made Peng Yue's mood even more irritable.
"Yes, good things are grinding..."Qiu Qingge lowered his head and said quietly, with a sadness in his tone, "But I really don't want to grind anymore..."
Qiu Qingge looked at Peng Yue, who was sitting there without saying a word at this time, and the displeasure and sadness in his heart became even heavier. Could it be that Peng Yue really has a grudge against himself because of what his father did? Could it be that the relationship between himself and Peng Yue is so fragile? She was indeed overconfident, thinking that the two of them could overcome many things if they fell in love, Qiu Qingge didn't believe that Peng Yue would be such a stingy person, but the scene in front of her had to make her re-examine all this.
Qiu Qingge couldn't help but look at Peng Yue again, but Qiu Qingge found that Peng Yue still didn't have a word of response to him, only that empty and even slightly indifferent eyes, strange, helpless, and even heartache. I remember that every time I looked at Peng Yue's eyes, I always got a kind of strength, I can't tell when I started to like Peng Yue, but I can recall that every time before falling asleep at night, Peng Yue's eyes always appear in my mind, beautiful, quiet, but with a smile, full of energy. Perhaps, the most attractive thing about a man is his eyes, every time he looks at his eyes, especially when his eyes meet, Qiu Qingge always feels inexplicably flustered, but there is a sweetness welling up in his heart, he has obtained countless good memories from his eyes, but now all he feels is this embarrassing silence.
"Sister Qingge doesn't have to be anxious, you are so beautiful and so good, why do you have to worry about getting married, hehe..."Ziling pointed at Peng Yue with a smile as she said, "He has someone to want, what are you worried about... These days, Lord Xia Yanxia has mentioned kisses to him several times, I'm afraid he will wake up laughing when he dreams! ā
"What?" Qiu Qingge frowned slightly, looked at Peng Yue in disbelief, and leaned forward involuntarily, "Ha... Ha ha... This thing... I didn't even know..."Qiu Qingge quickly returned to normal, and his body leaned back, but his smile was a little weird.
"Ling'er, don't talk nonsense!" Peng Yue glared at Ziling, and couldn't help but blame her a little in his heart. He didn't expect Ziling to bring up this matter in front of Qiu Qingge, in fact, he didn't want to hide this matter from Qiu Qingge at all, because he didn't take this matter to heart at all. But now that Ziling has brought up this matter, it will invisibly increase Qiu Qingge's misunderstanding of himself.
"Am I telling a lie?" Ziling looked at Peng Yue with a grin.
Peng Yue didn't speak, just frowned and looked at Ziling with an extremely stern gaze. Ziling had almost never seen Peng Yue lose his temper, and when she saw him like this, she knew that Peng Yue was really angry, so she quickly lowered her head and kept silent.
"It's getting late today, and it's inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so I'll leave." Qiu Qingge's heart was surging at this time, her mind was so chaotic, she really didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"Sister Qingge finally came once, why didn't she stay a little longer?" Ziling looked up at Peng Yue, and didn't dare to speak more.
And Qiu Qingge saw Peng Yue standing aside, and he had no intention of retaining, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, "It's really inconvenient to bother..."
In this way, with a few words of greeting and farewell, Qiu Qingge still left the Peng Mansion accompanied by Peng Yue and Ziling.
Walking out of the door, Qiu Qingge took a few steps and looked back, only to find that Peng Yue grabbed Ziling and pulled her in at once, as if he had something to say. The door slammed shut, Qiu Qingge felt her heart tremble, and she suddenly felt that her steps were a little inexplicably heavy.
