Chapter 75: Chapter 76: Illness (4)
Qin Mobai took the black bag with a dark expression, thinking Lou Xi must have done it on purpose.
Don’t be fooled by her innocent look; she’s definitely got plans up her sleeve.
"Ah... Young Master Qin... your thing..." Lou Xi’s gaze moved slightly downward from Qin Mobai, "I’ll find a time to give it to you later; bringing it to school is too conspicuous."
"You still know how to write the words ’too conspicuous’?"
"So, Young Master Qin, you’ve forgiven me, right?"
"What did you do wrong? Why should I forgive you?" Qin Mobai found himself to be a baffling man right now, insisting on being angry with Lou Xi just because she called "Brother Rong" that night, and he’s been upset ever since.
Lou Xi pouted, because she didn’t know what she did wrong, either. If she had known it was because she called Rong Zhi’s name that night, she’d want to swallow those three words back right away.
However, with Qin Mobai being so aggressive, Lou Xi really didn’t understand, she’d already apologized, so why was he still like this?
"Anyway, I’ve apologized to you; whether you accept it or not is up to you. If you think I’m too unladylike and want to distance yourself from me, I have no objection. But Young Master Qin, please don’t use such means to flirt with others in the future. You’re really going too far!" Lou Xi suddenly felt very angry. Clearly, he was the one who approached her, and now he was the one sulking and wanting her to leave!
Fine, if she’s going to leave, she might as well have some pride!
Lou Xi put on her backpack and stepped past Qin Mobai, ready to go.
After taking a couple of steps, she turned back and said, "I’ll pay you back the money I owe right away, and once I’ve settled that, we owe each other nothing! You walk your bright road, and I’ll cross my narrow bridge! It’s just being angry, right? Who can’t be angry!"
After saying that, Lou Xi’s face was flushed bright red, unsure if it was from anger or from a cold.
Then, she suddenly choked on her own saliva and began to cough uncontrollably.
The coughing fit lasted for half a minute, with Lou Xi coughing continuously, while Qin Mobai just watched her, neither helping nor leaving.
When Lou Xi finally recovered, her eyes were red.
Qin Mobai thought, because he didn’t share his umbrella with her that day, she caught a cold.
"Young Master Qin, really, in the future, you walk your bright road, I’ll cross my narrow bridge, and we’ll mind our own business..." Lou Xi said, her initially firm tone becoming hesitant by the end.
Seeing Qin Mobai’s face remain unchanged, Lou Xi felt truly childish for saying such things.
He clearly wanted to draw a line with her, why couldn’t she see it?
If he just asked her to stay, she would surely agree.
But he said nothing, and she felt so embarrassed.
This time, she was really going!
Suddenly, Qin Mobai seized Lou Xi’s wrist and spoke.
"If you’re sick, go to the hospital." Qin Mobai said something completely unrelated to what Lou Xi had just said.
"You don’t care about me anymore, so why would you care if I’m sick or not? Does it make any sense?" Lou Xi retorted defiantly.
"Is whether I care so important? What do you take me for in your life?"
Indeed, what did Lou Xi consider Qin Mobai as? Was his concern really that important to her?
"You are... you are my... what? Friend!"
"Fine, I’m your friend, as you said." Qin Mobai seemed to be at odds with Lou Xi, looking at her coldly.
