This directness was completely out of Lotus Sun’s expectations. Her flushed face was clearly filled with astonishment. She had never thought that you Yueqing would come directly to her house at night, and she had even asked her a direct question.
So this was... a provocation?
Lotus Sun secretly shook her head, but she didn’t think so, because when you Yueqing said this, she didn’t feel any murderous intent at all. On the contrary, she felt a sense of déjà vu from being teased.
This feeling was all too familiar to Lotus Sun, just like how Odd Zhuo liked to make fun of her for no reason and called her “Master’s wife”.
Now that the question had been thrown at her, Lotus Sun felt that if she didn’t give any answer, she would be a little too petty, and it would also seem like she cared a lot.
It was just Wang Ling..
Just... a piece of wood..
What was there to care about... that much?
After trying hard to control her emotions, Lotus Sun took a deep breath and looked at you Yueqing, mustering up her courage to reply, “Daoist priest you was right, you’re absolutely right. I just like Wang Ling!”
“As expected, I was right again! In addition, let me tell you a little secret.”
You Yueqing narrowed her eyes and smiled, then grabbed Lotus Sun’s hand. “I like him too!”
Lotus sun: “Eh... Eh Eh?”
You Yueqing smiled. “What’s so strange about that? It’s not very normal for many people to like cute boys. In any case, you and I haven’t officially established a relationship, have we? So right now, it can only be considered a level playing field.”
”...”
Lotus Sun’s heart hurt a little when she heard this. She smacked her lips and felt a bitter taste in her mouth, and couldn’t find any reason to retort.
There was no first come, first served basis for liking someone, and no one said that Wang Ling had to be hers..
It could only be said that you Yueqing was a very difficult opponent, and this was the first time Lotus Sun had felt this way.
This Daoist priest was far from being as naive as Jiang Yingying, and would be easily dismissed.
Lotus Sun felt that she might have to go through a tough battle in the future.
“Daoist priest came to see me at night just to ask me about this? If there’s anything else, do you want to sit down and have a chat?”
To You Yueqing’s surprise, Lotus Sun was much calmer than she had expected. Not only did she not intend to drive her away after hearing what Lotus Sun had just said, she had even taken the initiative to ask her to stay.
Then, lotus sun clapped her hands and asked the head maid to serve tea. A sweet smell immediately wafted out, and the light purple tea was dotted with starlight, as if the Milky Way was reflecting on the surface of the lake at night.
You Yueqing took a sip and smacked her lips. Before Lotus Sun could introduce it, she asked in surprise, “It’s made from the top-grade moonlight grass, isn’t it?”
Lotus Sun was surprised. She hadn’t expected you Yueqing to be so knowledgeable about the way of tea, and to be able to distinguish the species with just one sip.
The spiritual tea made from the top-grade moonlight grass had the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the brain. It was very suitable for consumption at night, and had the ability to improve memory. As she drank the tea, she memorized it, ensuring that the knowledge points were constantly reinforced in her mind, one wouldn’t forget that the effect could last for several months.
The exam season was coming up, so Lotus Sun always prepared more at home.
However, the moonlight grass was expensive, and because of the harsh conditions for its growth, the number of cultivated herbs was very limited.
The top-grade moonlight grass grew in the natural environment. Every year, there was a strict standard for picking, so the quantity was even scarcer. A gram of tea grass could be sold as immortal gold.
As she leisurely sipped her tea, You Yueqing’s mood became extremely good. She looked at Lotus Sun’s seemingly calm but troubled face and found it a little funny.
After a few minutes, you Yueqing began to get into the main topic. “It seems that student lotus sun still doesn’t treat me as a friend. I clearly asked you to call me little Qing, but in the end, you still call me priest you.”
Lotus sun: “No, Little Qing, you’re thinking too much...”
“Don’t force yourself to call me that. I understand very well that we’re competitors after all, and there’s nothing wrong with maintaining respect for our competitors.”
You Yueqing put down the Teacup in her hand and said elegantly and naturally, “Then now I’d like to hear what you think of Wang Ling? For example, what can you sense from him when he’s in the apartment?”
Lotus Sun was a little wary of these words.
You Yueqing didn’t know Wang Ling’s true strength, but to ask this question... did she already sense something from Wang Ling?
She was very puzzled.
After a moment of silence, lotus sun said, “There’s obviously something going on in that apartment, but Wang Ling says there’s no problem.”
“Yes.”
You Yueqing nodded heavily, she said, “It’s obvious that he doesn’t want us to participate in the investigation together, and has already found some clues in the apartment. But Wang Ling’s strength is the same as ours, so why is he so confident that he can participate in the investigation alone?”
Lotus Sun couldn’t help rolling her throat at this question, and for the first time, she felt the sharpness radiating from You Yueqing’s body from the inside out..
She even suspected that you Yueqing had most likely learned something.
She had been hesitating on how to say this to You Yueqing.
Unexpectedly, you Yueqing smiled faintly at this moment. “I know what you’re trying to say, classmate Lotus Sun. Or perhaps you’ve also sensed something?”
“Sensed what?”
“That Wang Ling isn’t an ordinary person.”
Lotus Sun’s brows instantly furrowed slightly when you Yueqing finished speaking.
She immediately caught this subtle expression, and when she saw Lotus Sun’s changing expression.., she was even more certain of what she was thinking. “As expected, you’ve also noticed it. Although Wang Ling has always kept a low profile and concealed himself very well. In fact, if you get closer to him, sooner or later you’ll also discover something unusual about him.”
“I don’t know what Daoist priest you is talking about...”lotus sun was stupefied by you Yueqing’s words.
“Don’t worry, classmate Lotus Sun. I didn’t plan to tell anyone about Wang Ling, and now that I see you like this, I feel a lot more at ease. You’ve probably been helping him hide this whole time, haven’t you? Or even covering for him?”
You Yueqing smiled. “I’m not stupid. Those birthday gifts that Wang Ling gave me all have special abilities. Just from this alone, I can tell that he’s no ordinary person. You should be the same as me, right? Did you observe the situation from the details?”
“Mm... Yes.”
Lotus Sun said with an awkward expression.
Her emotions were intertwined and extremely complicated.
She had never thought that you Yueqing would actually sense Wang Ling’s hidden strength from the details..
And she was completely different from You Yueqing.
Thinking of this, Lotus Sun’s face couldn’t help turning slightly red.
Because Wang Ling’s secret.
In a sense, it was Wang Ling himself who had told her..
This directness was completely out of Lotus Sun’s expectations. Her flushed face was clearly filled with astonishment. She had never thought that you Yueqing would come directly to her house at night, and she had even asked her a direct question.
