Chapter 395 Of all the things to fight, why fight with cunning and scheming?
Xiao Yihuo asked this question in order to find inconsistencies in his and Yun He's words, and to determine whether he and Yun He were hiding something from him.
Therefore, Lin Lezhi avoided answering and instead chose to throw the topic back at Lin Lezhi.
Xiao Yihuo's expression shifted slightly. Besides a hint of inquiry in his eyes, there seemed to be an unnoticed sense of loss and grievance that made people feel out of the situation.
His grip on the thermos tightened slightly without him realizing it. He said, "Yun He said he guessed what you and Guan Ziheng did."
Hearing Xiao Yihuo say that, Lin Lezhi almost couldn't help but laugh.
Unexpectedly, Yunhe was quite clever and successfully picked up on the implication in his words.
He had told Liu Yunhe that he was a Wuyouke (a company name), and he hadn't intended to hide it from everyone.
it means.
If anyone asks what happened, he can simply tell them the story. This way, he can smoothly cover up the incident without any apparent error.
Even if you don't say anything, there's nothing he can do to you.
You can only suffer in silence.
How did you get it?
He's allowed to keep secrets from others, but others can't.
That doesn't make sense.
Lin Lezhi's eyes curved slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved into a gentle smile as she said, "Yes, he guessed what we were doing and excitedly came to us to confirm. I thought since we are all friends, there was no need to hide it, so I told him the truth."
"is it?"
"Of course, what else could I do?" Lin Lezhi smiled, a hint of teasing in her eyes, and deliberately joked, "Could it be... that Yun He was talking behind your back?"
“Yun He wouldn’t do that.”
Xiao Yihuo spoke with certainty.
"That's it. Yunhe is pure and straightforward at heart. Although he can be a bit reckless and lose his temper sometimes, it all comes from his sincere feelings for you. Yunhe really respects you."
"You two seem to be getting along quite well lately."
A sentence that came out of nowhere, abruptly, with an inexplicable sour taste.
Lin Lezhi leaned forward with a smile on her face and deliberately said, "So... you feel empty and jealous because Liu Yunhe has been getting close to me lately?"
The moment the words left his mouth, a look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yihuo's eyes. He then looked away, his expression inexplicably flustered, and said, "I was just stating the facts, I had no other intentions."
"Really?" Lin Lezhi asked with a smile, a hint of seriousness in her eyes, and said leisurely, "On the contrary, I think Yun He has been corrupted by you." Lin Lezhi then added, "Don't overthink it, I'm just telling the truth, I have no ulterior motives."
"how you said that?"
Lin Lezhi feigned a surprised and incredulous expression, saying, "He didn't tell you?!"
Although his intuition told Xiao Yihuo that Lin Lezhi was probably teasing him, he still decided to listen and ask, "What?"
"Him?" Lin Lezhi said with a smile, in a teasing tone, "He was afraid I would deny it later, so he threatened me to sign my name in his storybook. He said if I didn't admit it, he would spread the word. If you don't believe me, go back and see if my name is signed on the back of the book he often reads."
Hearing Lin Lezhi's words, Xiao Yihuo was somewhat surprised, not expecting Yun He to do such a thing.
He stared intently at Lin Lezhi, paused for a moment, then looked at the rippling river surface, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Didn't you ever think that he learned it from you?"
"What did you say?!"
"nothing."
Seeing that Xiao Yihuo stopped speaking, Lin Lezhi had actually heard it very clearly, but Xiao Yihuo's accusatory tone made him feel like he had misheard, leaving him astonished.
Lin Lezhi's eyes held a hint of resentment, but she didn't care or get angry. She just retorted in a low voice, "I was clearly corrupted by you. Even my walking is exactly like yours, without making a sound."
After Lin Lezhi said that, Xiao Yihuo still didn't say anything. A smile appeared on his lips. He didn't argue with Lin Lezhi. The probing look in his eyes faded a bit, and his expression became more gentle and smiling than before.
Lin Lezhi glanced at Xiao Yihuo out of the corner of her eye and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that my explanation has passed muster with Xiao Yihuo, and I've managed to fool him.
If Liu Yunhe can't pass the test, and he deliberately keeps quiet about it, Xiao Yihuo will become suspicious. By revealing some information appropriately, he can dispel some of Xiao Yihuo's suspicions.
That somewhat explains why Liu Yunhe had been hiding something.
It's not that Lin Lezhi is trying to outsmart Xiao Yihuo, but rather that Xiao Yihuo himself is cunning and scheming. If you're not careful, you might fall into the trap he's set.
He's jumped into many pits before.
Why fight over anything but scheming?
I'm exhausted.
but.
This is something he deserves; after all, he had a secret with Liu Yunhe.
As the sky darkened further, Lin Lezhi's expression gradually became somewhat detached.
At this time.
A strong wind suddenly rose on the river, making Lin Lezhi feel a chill. He suddenly remembered that Xiao Yihuo was unable to use his internal energy and was not fully recovered. He quickly looked at Xiao Yihuo with concern in his eyes and a hint of urgency in his voice.
"Why didn't you wear more clothes when you came out? Wouldn't you be cold?"
"not cold."
Fearing that Xiao Yihuo was just putting on a brave face, Lin Lezhi reached out and used the back of her hand to feel the temperature of Xiao Yihuo's hand.
Faced with Lin Lezhi's sudden approach, Xiao Yihuo's eyes froze. Although he wasn't cold, his body stiffened as well.
The moment they made contact, it wasn't as cold as he had imagined; a warm touch came from his fingertips, which eased Lin Lezhi's tense expression. However, he also missed the unspoken emotion that surfaced in Xiao Yihuo's eyes.
Previously, she had deliberately avoided eye contact with Xiao Yihuo, but now her attention was on Xiao Yihuo's clothes, so Lin Lezhi easily noticed that a corner of Xiao Yihuo's chest was showing.
It looks very familiar.
Moreover, it was hard not to notice; Xiao Yihuo's collar was noticeably bulging.
"what is this?"
Xiao Yihuo didn't try to hide it and pulled the thing out right in front of Lin Lezhi.
Upon seeing what was being pulled out, Lin Lezhi's face immediately turned pale and then red. She hoped she had misread it and hurriedly pressed the object down from Xiao Yihuo's hand, slamming both Xiao Yihuo's hand and the object onto the bench. Then, with a look of shame and indignation, she frantically looked around.
Because of the exaggerated movement, some people nearby turned their attention to her, and Lin Lezhi's face immediately turned even redder.
Lin Lezhi immediately smiled awkwardly at the person next to her, indicating that it was nothing, then looked at Xiao Yihuo with an embarrassed expression and lowered her voice, saying, "Why did you buy this?!"
Seeing Lin Lezhi's panicked and helpless state, as if she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, Xiao Yihuo's expression remained calm. He didn't pull his hand back, but pretended to be clueless, with a hint of a smile in his eyes. He gave a very reasonable and legitimate reason: "He said it would hold its value, so I bought it."
