Chapter 44 - 045: Why Are You Pushing Me
Earlier, hitting the scumbag at his house felt great, but now that it’s quiet, Bai Lu’s mood suddenly plummeted.
Lou Xi had also experienced being cheated on by a scumbag before. Although she wasn’t necessarily very fond of Zhou Zichen, the feeling was still as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
The two sat in the back seat, with Qin Mobai driving in the front.
"Lu Lu, listen to me. It’s good that we found out he was cheating early on. If you invest your emotions too deeply and then find out he’s just a scumbag, it won’t be easy to pull away. Besides, out with the old in with the new, right?" Lou Xi deliberately said things Bai Lu wanted to hear to comfort her.
Bai Lu nodded, "I understand the logic, but... just let me be sad for a while."
"Alright, if there’s something you can’t figure out, I’ll comfort you again." Lou Xi patted Bai Lu’s shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
Then, Bai Lu leaned against the car window, staring blankly outside at the pitch-black scenery.
Lou Xi sighed softly. When it comes to emotions, other people’s comfort never really helps; you have to come through it yourself to truly be okay.
She leaned forward, resting her head between the driver’s seat and the passenger seat, turning her head to look at Qin Mobai.
"Young Master Qin, it’s so late, and we can’t send Bai Lu back to school. How about you find a hotel, and just drop us off?" Lou Xi really couldn’t think of where she and Bai Lu could go at that moment.
It seemed like she’d been wondering where to sleep tonight all day.
Qin Mobai glanced at her, saying blandly, "Either sit properly in the back or sit in the passenger seat."
"It’s fine, this way it’s easier to talk to you."
"..." The key is, it’s inconvenient for him, "It’s distracting."
"Oh, am I distracting you from driving?" Lou Xi realized her mistake, "Then I won’t talk to you, Young Master Qin. Focus on driving!"
After saying that, she gave him a slight smile, with rosy lips, lively eyes, and a pink face.
For some reason, a wave of restlessness came over Qin Mobai.
In a quick movement, he reached out and pushed Lou Xi’s head back.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Back in the rear seat, Lou Xi rubbed her forehead, muttering, "I wasn’t going to bother you... why push me?"
From the corner of his eye, Qin Mobai glanced at Lou Xi in the rearview mirror, seeing her pout, somewhat playfully annoyed.
He quickly withdrew his gaze.
"It’s not appropriate for two girls to stay in a hotel. Come stay at my place." A cool voice came from the front seat, "After I take you home, I’ll stay at a friend’s place."
As if worried Lou Xi would refuse, Qin Mobai even added that last part.
Apparently, there wasn’t a better option, and besides, it wasn’t her first time staying at Qin Mobai’s house.
But next to her, Bai Lu’s eyes grew wider than a goldfish’s, completely forgetting about the scumbag’s betrayal, turning her head to look at Lou Xi in surprise.
Only moving her lips, she made no sound, "Young Master Qin is letting us stay at his house??"
Lou Xi glanced at the man in the driver’s seat, turning back to mouth to Bai Lu, "We don’t have any other choice!"
So, after spending last night at Qin Mobai’s house, Lou Xi stayed there again tonight, only this time bringing Bai Lu along.
After dropping Lou Xi and Bai Lu at his house, Qin Mobai prepared to leave. Just as he stepped into the elevator, a small figure followed him in.
