Not long ago, Ge Jiaxi just shouted about fireflies appearing in the woods.
But now, there are no fireflies visible over there.
To catch fireflies, you have to go deep into the woods.
Three minutes is too short, and even the shadows of fireflies may not be visible.
Moreover, Chi Zao said before that at this time of year, there may be relatively dangerous wild animals in the woods.
So, is this Yue Shuqin intentional or unintentional?
Qian Mingxuan and others looked at each other in confusion.
Lu Zifan suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
"Yes, yes, it's so dangerous for a girl to go into the woods alone! We boys will act as flower guardians and accompany the little fairy in!"
Meng Feiyu stood up and didn't forget to drag Jian Yichen up.
Yue Shuqin's expression changed, and the corners of her lips trembled slightly, looking at what Lu Zifan wanted to say.
Lu Zifan didn't look at her twice, but said directly to Chi Zao, "Let's go."
Qian Mingxuan and others also stood up to follow.
As a result, almost most of the people wanted to go with Chi Zao.
"Wait a moment."
Yue Shuqin's own purpose was to test the extent of the relationship between Lu Zifan and Chi Zao.
Now that Lu Zifan really wants to go in with Chi Zao, where can he sit still?
She immediately stopped them, looked at Zhai Chuan, and asked: "This adventure should be completed independently by Miss Chi, right?"
"Forehead……"
Zhai Chuan paused, not expecting Yue Shuqin to suddenly ask so seriously.
"We went into the woods with Xiaozao, and we didn't help her catch fireflies. How come we didn't do it independently?"
Qian Mingxuan asked Yue Shuqin.
Now she was sure that the feeling she had felt about each other's tea before was not an illusion.
In the pitch-black woods, Gong Yaoyao and others went in in groups. How could Yue Shuqin have the nerve to ask Chi Zao to go in alone to catch fireflies? His sinister intentions were too obvious!
Dong Yi glanced at Yue Shuqin and said, "It's just a game. Is Miss Yue taking it too seriously?"
Yue Shuqin ignored what Qian Mingxuan and others said.
If it weren't for Lu Zifan, she wouldn't sit with these people and play such a boring game.
Yue Shuqin turned her gaze towards Chi Zao with a half-smile: "Although it's just a game, I don't think Miss Chi can't afford it."
Hey, are you putting a high hat on her now?
Chi Zao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "Then in order to prevent me from cheating, why don't Miss Yue go in with me and supervise me to catch ten fireflies with my own hands and come back?"
As soon as these words came out.
The smile on Yue Shuqin's face froze slightly, and she glanced at Lu Zifan secretly.
The other person frowned slightly and seemed unhappy.
Yue Shuqin pursed her lips, not wanting to give the impression of deliberately making things difficult for Chi Zao in front of Lu Zifan, so she could only force out a soft smile: "Okay."
Lu Zifan was stunned for a moment and looked at Yue Shuqin in surprise again.
Qian Mingxuan and the others couldn't understand it either.
Yue Shuqin actually wanted to go into the woods alone with Chi Zao to catch fireflies!
The more Qian Mingxuan thought about it, the more something was wrong. She pulled Chi Zao and whispered, "Be careful, little Zaozi! Gong Yaoyao and those people are still in the woods. I'm afraid that the eldest lady of the Yue family is deliberately trying to lure you in."
"Yeah. I know it well."
Chi Zao glanced at Yue Shuqin.
Compared to Gong Yaoyao, the eldest lady of the Yue family has much more brains. Because she has scruples, she will not conflict with her in front of Lu Zifan.
The two walked into the dense forest together.
After staying away from Lu Zifan and others, Yue Shuqin pointed to the bushes not far away and said, "Miss Chi, there are fireflies over there."
Chi Zao raised his head and glanced, and indeed saw the twinkling fluorescent stars.
But she did not move, but chose to walk in another direction where fireflies appeared.
Yue Shuqin followed her, always keeping that reserved smile on her face: "Miss Chi, do you think Yaoyao and I have joined forces to trick you into going into the woods? In fact, I have no ill intentions towards you. I agreed to come in with you to catch fireflies.
, mainly because I have something I want to say to you..."
She is not the willful and brainless Gong Yaoyao.
When I saw Chi Zao's performance at the Shang family banquet, I knew that the background of Chi Zao and her boyfriend was definitely not that simple.
Therefore, there was no intention to break up with Chi Zao from the beginning.
"What do you want to say?" Chi Zao glanced at her and thought that Yue Shuqin not only has more brains than Gong Yaoyao, but is also better at acting.
Yue Shuqin said softly: "I hope, Miss Chi, you can stay away from the world."
Chi Zao packed ten fireflies in transparent jars as soon as possible. When he heard Yue Shuqin's words, he felt a little funny. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "What position does Miss Yue have in saying this to me?"
"I will be his fiancée soon."
Yue Shuqin raised her lips and smiled slightly, tucked a lock of hair behind her ears, raised her chin slightly, and said these words with determination.
Chi Zao: "..."
The Lu family, marrying the Yue family?
Are you kidding me?
Is there still marriage among the four major families? It's too late for them to guard against each other.
Could it be that Mr. Lu thinks Lu Zifan is hopeless and wants to get him married as soon as possible?
No, this is unlikely.
Chi Zao's eyes darkened slightly and he had another guess.
It is impossible for Yue Shuqin to say such words for nothing. The only possibility is that the Yue family does have the idea of marrying with the Lu family, but they have not spoken to the Lu family yet.
Nine times out of ten, it was Yue Shuqin's wishful thinking.
However, in order to maintain the relationship between the four major families and maintain the status of their own family, if the Yue family proposed it, would the Lu family refuse?
Once the Yue family and the Lu family get married, the situation of the four major families will change again...
With Lu Zifan’s character, would he accept it?
Chi Zao suppressed his thoughts and looked at Yue Shuqin: "Isn't that done yet? Moreover, I am not the only female friend around Lu Zifan, and Miss Yue plans to keep them away from Lu Zifan one by one?"
The smile on Yue Shuqin's face froze slightly, and she looked at Chi Zao with a cold look: "Miss Chi also has a boyfriend. Before, Yaoyao approached your boyfriend, and you were equally angry. I thought you should understand me.
This kind of mood."
This was not the first day she liked Lu Zifan.
In all these years, she has never seen Lu Zifan so close to a girl.
She also told her that Chi Zao was just an ordinary classmate.
But is an ordinary classmate worthy of his protection when he says something in front of Gong Yaoyao?
The more Yue Shuqin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. When he saw Chi Zao again, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
She tried again and again, and now she is sure that she warned Chi Zao later because she was afraid that Lu Zifan really liked Chi Zao!
"Please don't compare me with you. My boyfriend and I are in love. You and Lu Zifan are not even close to each other."
Chi Zao's tone was impolite: "Miss Yue has the time to tell me this, why not find a way to win Lu Zifan's heart and make him like you, which is the most important thing, right?"
Lu Zifan had no interest in Yue Shuqin at all.
He has made this very obvious.
Yue Shuqin also understood it.
But being exposed so ruthlessly by Chi Zao was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
Yue Shuqin's face suddenly turned green and white, and she stared at Chi Zao's back as he walked back, clenching his hands so tightly that he almost tore the corners of his skirt to pieces.
"Xiao Zaozi!"
Seeing Chi Zao walking out of the woods safe and sound with a bottle of fireflies, Qian Mingxuan and others immediately stepped forward to check on her.
Just when he was about to say something, suddenly, a frightened scream came from the woods not far behind him——
