“Yiyi, have you eaten yet?”
Lin Wei’s emotions came and went quickly, and now her attention had already shifted.
She looked at Yu Qing with anticipation.
“We just finished eating. Qing Huan-jie and the others are going to KTV. Do you want to go together? I can ask Qing Huan-jie and the others for you!”
KTV?
Thoughts spun in Yu Qing’s mind.
Refusing was certainly the safest, but Lin Wei’s heartbroken and disappointed expression just now was still vivid.
To keep pushing her away and rejecting her would only make this fool even more anxious, and might even drive her to do something even more out of line.
Rather than choosing rejection and pushing Lin Wei further away, it might be better to go with the flow.
Since she’d already appeared as Fu Yi, why not use this opportunity to completely calm Lin Wei, and even make her more dependent on and fond of “Yiyi” like this?
In the days to come, she could also gain more convenience from this affection.
If there were other factors, perhaps it was also a trace of guilt and strange emotions stirred up deep in Yu Qing’s heart by Lin Wei’s tears and embrace, making it difficult for him to cruelly reject those expectant eyes again.
She lowered her gaze slightly.
When she looked up again, there was a gentle smile tinged with indulgence on her face.
She spoke softly.
“I’m a little tired after practicing dance, but if Weiwei wants to go, I’ll go with you for a while.”
Yu Qing’s tone was soft, with a hint of concession.
She raised her hand and patted the top of Lin Wei’s head, her voice tinged with a trace of helplessness.
“Besides, I should go greet your friends too. Because of my negligence, you were upset and it disturbed everyone’s gathering. I need to apologize to everyone.”
At Yu Qing’s agreement, Lin Wei’s eyes instantly lit up like bright stars.
“Really? Yiyi, you’re the best!”
She cheered, almost jumping up, then tightly hugged Yu Qing’s arm again, her flushed face rubbing affectionately against her shoulder.
“I want to apologize with Yiyi! I was the one who was childish and lost my temper. Even though Yiyi worked so hard practicing dance, I only cared about myself…”
“Let’s go.”
Yu Qing smiled and shook her head, scraping Lin Wei’s nose with her finger.
Lin Wei pouted, but when she looked at Yu Qing, she lasted less than two seconds before breaking into laughter.
Letting Lin Wei hold her arm, the two of them walked together toward Cheng Qinghuan and the others, who were still waiting at the restaurant entrance.
Seeing them walking hand in hand, Cheng Qinghuan and the others looked a little surprised, but then their expressions softened into warm smiles.
Li Ming’s gaze was more complicated, sweeping over Yu Qing and Lin Wei’s tightly linked arms, as if deep in thought about something.
“Qinghuan-jie, Senior Li Ming, Sister Sun Ya,”
Yu Qing tried to make the three in front of her remember her in her own way.
Her gentle tone was like a spring breeze, making people feel pleasant.
She bowed slightly to everyone, her words carrying a touch of apology.
“I’m sorry about earlier. Because of me, Weiwei was upset and disturbed everyone’s mood.”
She looked sincerely at the three in front of her as she spoke.
Her etiquette and words left Cheng Qinghuan with no fault to find.
“And me, too! And me!”
Lin Wei also raised her hand, standing next to Yu Qing.
To show more sincerity, she reluctantly let go of Yu Qing’s arm and apologized with her face flushed.
“Because of my childish temper, I made everyone worry for so long and disrupted the dinner. I’m really sorry!”
After speaking, she buried her head in Yu Qing’s arms, not knowing if it was from shyness or some other reason.
Yu Qing held her in her arms helplessly, suppressing the slight trembling in her heart, and smiled apologetically at the three again.
As expected of a Rich Girl from a big family.
Cheng Qinghuan praised silently in her heart and smiled gently, giving Yu Qing a way out.
“Fu Yi junior, you’re too polite. Weiwei just cares too much about you. It’s fine. As long as you’ve cleared things up, we’re happy to see you two make up.”
Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Ming temporarily put aside his thoughts and continued calmly.
“Yeah, it’s nothing serious. Fu Yi, are you free? Do you want to join us at KTV?”
He naturally invited Yu Qing, making Lin Wei, who was still immersed in Yiyi’s gentle embrace, instantly sober up.
“Mm.”
Yu Qing nodded, feeling Lin Wei’s grip on her arm tighten as if afraid she would change her mind. Yu Qing glanced at her helplessly, then spoke.
“I hope I won’t disturb you.”
“How could you! We’re not even welcoming you enough!”
Sun Ya also smiled and waved, expressing a warm welcome to Yu Qing.
And so, the originally four-person trip to KTV became a group of five.
On the way to the KTV, Lin Wei was almost hanging onto Yu Qing, chattering about the fun things that happened during the meal, occasionally looking up at Yu Qing with eyes full of dependence and happiness.
Yu Qing did her best to play the role of a gentle and patient listener, occasionally responding softly.
She could feel the unique softness and warmth of a girl from Lin Wei’s body. If she lowered her head slightly, she could smell the fresh scent of her hair.
This excessive closeness made her body a little stiff, and her heartbeat quickened.
But to increase Lin Wei’s favorability, Yu Qing buried all these strange feelings deep inside and even took the initiative to gently wrap her arm around Lin Wei’s shoulders, letting her lean more comfortably.
This action made Lin Wei’s body tremble violently.
Her face, which was only a little flushed before, turned bright red, and her bright eyes seemed to explode with starlight, making Yu Qing a bit embarrassed.
Isn’t this a bit much, Sister?
Just a hug and you’re like this? If one day you really take off your clothes and get in bed with me, wouldn’t you just faint on the spot?
Lin Wei couldn’t hear Yu Qing’s inner thoughts.
At this moment, she was like a cat being petted, letting out a satisfied hum and almost leaning half her weight over.
Yu Qing was equally satisfied inside.
This sense of being relied on and liked, mixed with the thrill of impersonating a junior, gave rise to a different kind of feeling in her heart.
The junior’s background and family—Yu Qing had yet to really understand any of it, nor had any way to.
Yu Qing obviously lacked a special opportunity—a chance to visit the junior’s family herself, bypassing the junior or keeping it secret from her.
Until that opportunity came, Yu Qing needed to firmly grasp the information she already had.
For example, the junior’s school relationships.
Rather than slowly analyzing and understanding them, it was better to get involved directly and, using what she knew along with changes she caused herself, subtly influence the people around the junior—making them gradually get used to a Fu Yi like her, and thus integrate into the junior’s life from another angle and identity.
As for Zhou Min, for now, there was nothing she could do.
That person had already seen through her; any subtle difference Yu Qing showed would be noticed.
But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
The junior hadn’t pressed further about what happened that night, which meant Zhou Min might have intervened.
Based on Zhou Min’s attitude that night, perhaps she could be drawn in.
As long as she made good use of the identity of Fu Yi’s little sister and figured out why Zhou Min was so tolerant of her, it might not be impossible to have her spill all the important information about the junior.
However, doing so would undoubtedly greatly increase the speed at which her identity was discovered.
If it didn’t involve fundamental issues, Zhou Min might help cover for her.
As for Lin Wei, Yu Qing believed that as long as she offered a bit of sweetness, Lin Wei would follow her words.
If it was just about keeping their interactions a secret, telling no one, it should still be possible.
Yu Qing glanced deeply at Lin Wei, who was giggling and holding onto her, her eyes growing unreadable.
It should be possible, right…
But…would it be too impatient…?
