Chapter 41 - 042: Found a Place to Stay in the Evening
Lou Xi and Bai Lu have a good relationship, but after the incident with Li Ruolan, She doesn’t dare to tell Bai Lu about her situation with Qin Mobai.
There’s still a bit of wariness.
"Young Master Qin doesn’t seem as fierce as he looks. He should be considered a good person..." Lou Xi said ambiguously.
"Yesterday, you said you had a hatred as deep as the sea with him!" Bai Lu pouted, "But Young Master Qin is really kind-hearted. It’s rare to meet someone who cares so much about friends after knowing them for just a few days. You should properly thank Young Master Qin."
Speaking of thankfulness, Lou Xi thought, isn’t it all supposed to be reciprocal?
Two hundred thirty thousand! She truly doesn’t know when she’ll ever be able to earn two hundred thirty thousand to pay back Qin Mobai, so why did she accept those clothes Qin Mobai bought for her?
No, why did Qin Mobai insist on buying her those clothes, knowing full well she doesn’t have the ability to pay back the money?
Could it be that...
—As long as you haven’t paid me back, don’t think about leaving my sight for even a day.
Could it be, that’s what Young Master Qin is planning?
Thinking about it, Lou Xi felt a chill down her spine.
Young Master Qin wants to keep her by his side?
Why? Just because of that inexplicable night?
Actually, Lou Xi doesn’t remember how far her drunken antics went that night—and she feels she blanked out. Later, she looked up issues like headaches after blackouts, but she didn’t feel much headache.
Of course, she couldn’t directly ask Qin Mobai about what happened that night. She just wanted to pretend nothing happened that night.
Since Qin Mobai hasn’t mentioned it, She can just pretend not to know, and let that incident fade away!
"Xixi, where are you staying tonight? Want to sneak back to the dorm with me? We’re in our third year, the dorm supervisor won’t check that strictly." Bai Lu suggested.
"No way. If we’re discovered, you’d get expelled from the dorm too. Don’t take risks." Lou Xi didn’t want to drag Bai Lu down.
But she really hasn’t decided where to stay, maybe she could stay at a hotel tonight, but what about tomorrow, and the future...
She’s penniless now, so would she have to borrow from Qin Mobai again?
"I have a boyfriend outside of school, you know. His roommate moved out, and there’s a room available, maybe you could talk to the landlord about getting a cheaper rate." Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, but said it anyway.
"That doesn’t sound right, living with a guy..." Lou Xi shook her head, "It’s not about not trusting your boyfriend’s character. If my parents found out I was living with a guy, they’d kill me."
Bai Lu thought about it and realized she’s right.
"Then I’ll stay with you there tonight, and tomorrow we’ll look for a place together. How does that sound?"
"Okay." Having Bai Lu with her, they could find a place to stay tonight and look for an apartment tomorrow, which works.
Eventually, when the conversation was almost over, Qin Mobai slowly approached.
Actually, Lou Xi knew it wasn’t that Qin Mobai ran into friends outside; he knew She and Bai Lu had girl talk, and if He was around, they would be reserved.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mobai is quite a thoughtful man.
After finishing dinner at Little Nan Country, of course, Qin Mobai picked up the bill.
Outside Little Nan Country, Lou Xi said to Qin Mobai, "Young Master Qin, I have a place to stay tonight, thank you."
"Where is that?"
"Bai Lu’s boyfriend’s house."
"What?"
