BXBX NOVEL Chapter 157
(T/N: KTV is China’s word for karaoke. KTV club means a place, typically a club, where Chinese people go to sing and have fun with friends.)
One of his friends looked down at their mobile phone with a strange expression for a while, when he got a message and after a bit a few of the others gathered around him.
In the end, he gave his mobile phone to Shen Zhuhang and asked him to take a look at some photos.
Shen Zhuhang took the mobile phone, and started looking at the photos. At first, he didn’t care, but soon he noticed something wrong. After zooming in, his expression turned rather ugly.
The photo showed a man and a woman embracing each other. The girl was not tall, but the boy was very tall, looking about 190 cm tall.
The girl was wearing a woollen overcoat, but it still revealed the hem of the skirt. Mu Qingyao had this exact woollen coat. On top of that, the girl was wearing a pink and dark gray contrast Gucci scarf on her neck, which he gave to Mu Qingyao.
Shen Zhuhang’s friend said in a low voice: “That boy seems to be Gu Jue and he is in the same class as her.”
Shen Zhuhang: “…”
Shen Zhuhang used his friend’s phone to forward the photo to himself, then got up and left.
When he closed the door, he vaguely heard a burst of laughter coming from inside the private room. Shen Zhuhang’s face turned livid. He drove over to the Mu family villa in silence and called out Mu Qingyao.
The two families lived near each other. So after Mu Qingyao came out, they went to the indoor garden in the society together.
Shen Zhuhang asked in a deep voice, “How are you doing recently?”
Mu Qingyao was wearing the same scarf and overcoat as in the photo. She pulled the scarf to cover her face and said, “My injuries have already started to scab over. I’m planning on returning to school when the scabs are gone.”
“Oh… so you have been staying at home these past few days?”
“Well, I can’t go anywhere looking like this.”
“So when did you go see Gu Jue?”
Mu Qingyao was startled and looked at Shen Zhuhang in surprise.
Shen Zhuhang took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed the photos to her. He asked, “Is it you?”
Mu Qingyao’s expression changed when she saw the photos. At first, she wanted to deny it, but then she thought that the photos might have been taken by some acquaintance, so she could only say, “I couldn’t go to class, so I asked him to record the classes for me. He gave me the recorder when I met. “
“Really? You are holding a recorder together?!” Shen Zhuhang couldn’t help control himself and shouted at Mu Qingyao.
Mu Qingyao was so flustered that she shook her head and explained: “He found out that I have been feeling sad these past few days, so he wanted to comfort me. There was no other meaning to it!”
“Did he have to comfort this way?”
“When you comforted Li Xinling, didn’t you accompany her to the movies?”
“I didn’t do this with her either. We kept our distance.”
Mu Qingyao began to change the topic: “Is she the reason why you have been ignoring me?”
“So if I ignore you for a bit, you’ll find someone else to date. If I go on a business trip in the future, will you live at someone else’s house?”
“No, we just had dinner together.”
Shen Zhuhang was so angry with Mu Qingyao that he wanted to tear off the scarf he had given her. It would have been better to wipe the floor with it than to give it to her.
As a result, he pulled off the scarf and saw Mu Qingyao’s face. Shen Zhuhang immediately pulled his hand away in disgust.
Shen Zhuhang began to mock Mu Qingyao: “Aren’t you afraid to meet your new boyfriend with your current face? Aren’t you afraid that he will dislike it?”
“He didn’t say anything. It will be fine when the scab falls off.”
