He was finally gone.
Zhou Hengguang let out a sigh of relief, and his tense body gradually relaxed. The pressure from his Big brother was immense. While he excelled in intelligence, his Big brother, once an ace fighter pilot, surpassed him in vigilance and physical fitness.
He almost gets caught just moments ago.
In the blink of an eye, Su Qing swiftly reacted, pushing him away and making a run for it while he was momentarily distracted.
Zhou Hengguang didn’t pursue her, stepping out of the room and leaning against the door frame. “I’ll find you later during my lunchtime,” he called after her.
Su Qing, like a startled rabbit, sprinted even faster upon hearing his words.
“Haha…” Zhou Hengguang chuckled, amused by her reaction. He waited for her departure before shaking his head. Leaning against the door, he caressed his lips with his thumb, the lingering taste of the encounter fading away.
Zhou Hengguang’s handsome face curled into a charming smile. The eyes behind his glasses conveyed an indescribable romantic feeling.
Panicking, Su Qing sought refuge in the bathroom on the opposite side of the corridor after consulting a waiter. Standing at the sink, she splashed cold water on her face repeatedly, but the flush on her cheeks persisted.
Gazing at herself in the mirror, Su Qing was in a daze. Peach blossoms filled
her eyes, and her fair skin now glowed with a pink hue. She never anticipated her face could turn so red.
Despite more attempts to cool down with water, Su Qing pressed her palms to her cheeks, feeling the persistent warmth.
While she had never been in a romantic relationship and didn’t have anyone she liked, she had observed plenty. Not to mention those from afar, but even close to home with her elder sister (Big sister) and brother-in-law. Naturally, she knew what a woman in love looked like. So, seeing herself in the mirror now made her feel unexpectedly flustered.
She couldn’t believe the reflection in the mirror was her own. Was this person, with watery eyes and undeniable charm, truly her?
A wave of shame washed over Su Qing’s heart. She hastily patted her face and rubbed her eyes, finally feeling some relief after washing her face again.
“There you are!” Su Wen managed to appease her jealous husband. Concerned about Su Qing’s prolonged absence, she searched for her and found her in the bathroom. “You have been out for so long. I thought you were missing!”
Panicked, Su Qing avoided eye contact, feeling as if she had done something wrong. “No, I was just about to go back!”
“Oh!” Su Wen scrutinized Su Qing, perplexed. “What’s wrong? Why is your face so red?”
“It’s too hot. We wore thick clothes in the Trinity village. I didn’t expect the provincial capital to be warmer than our hometown, especially in the restaurant. It’s still hot after staying for a long time,” Su Qing explained, attempting to regain composure as she fanned herself.
Su Wen observed her for a while, acknowledging the validity of Su Qing’s explanation due to the crowded venue. Yet, she sensed something amiss.
“Have Sixth Sister and Little Sister finished school?” Su Qing changed the topic.
“I haven’t seen them for a long time. I wonder what they’ve become.”
Big sister was too intimidating, and the thought of facing her made her even more uneasy. She wanted to tell her but discussing such matters felt too difficult for her to start the conversation.
Feeling guilty about her elder sister, she hesitated but decided not to burden her with worries about Lin Weiguo..
