Chapter 39 Questioning
The clear blue sky is rich with autumn colors, and the purple mountains and rivers are shrouded in misty clouds.

As evening fell, after getting off the bus, Jiang Qinqin quickly asked Wu Yuchen to let go of her hand.

Wu Yuchen smiled. This little girl, after all the hugging and kissing, is starting to get shy again here.

Wu Yuchen feigned displeasure and asked, "Why did you have to let go?"

Jiang Qinqin blushed and said, "If Sasha and the others see this, I'll be too ashamed to show my face!"

Not long ago, she was talking bad about Wu Yuchen in the dorm, but now she's dating him. If they knew she'd already given him a full package of holding hands, hugging, and kissing so quickly, they'd laugh themselves to death.

Wu Yuchen could roughly guess what Jiang Qinqin was thinking. It was nothing more than being shy and unable to bear the gossip of those around her during her student days.

Looking back now, Wu Yuchen thinks that the duck boat really is a great place. Once you glide to the middle of the lake, the boat becomes a private world for two, isolated from the world. You can be much bolder than usual when doing things. No wonder couples love to go there!
Oh right, I also have to thank Huang Lei for his great assist today. If it weren't for his collision, how could he have had this opportunity to speed up his progress so much?

However, Wu Yuchen still held onto Jiang Qinqin's hand tightly, saying, "No, unless you kiss me again~"

Jiang Qinqin blushed upon hearing this, after all, this wasn't just a small boat for the two of them, but rather near the school gate. However, seeing Wu Yuchen's somewhat roguish demeanor, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

After looking around and finding no students passing by, Jiang Qinqin tiptoed and quickly pecked Wu Yuchen on the cheek.

Wu Yuchen then smiled and let go of his hand, saying, "Then I'll take you back to your dorm."

Jiang Qinqin nodded and did not refuse again. It was fine to give her a ride, as long as they could not be seen to be intimate.

After entering the dormitory building, Jiang Qinqin was still thinking about everything that had happened that day, with a smile on her face, completely immersed in the sweetness of love.

As soon as she entered the dormitory, she saw that everyone in the room turned to look at her. Chen Shasha even blocked the door, as if they were about to have a joint trial.

"Jiang Qinqin, you'd better tell the truth!"

Jiang Qinqin glanced at the group, then, feigning composure, walked to the bedside, put down her bag, and said as if nothing had happened, "What am I supposed to say?"

"Where did you go?"

"Who did you go with?"

"What have you done?"

Several people stared at Jiang Qinqin and spoke at the same time.

Jiang Qinqin felt slightly guilty and looked away.

"I didn't go anywhere. I just had a meal with an old friend, and then we strolled around a park and chatted."

Chen Shasha snorted twice: "Still being stubborn? We saw it from the window just now, Wu Yuchen brought you back!"

"We just happened to run into each other at school on our way. Nothing happened. Why are you making wild guesses?"

Chen Shasha clearly did not believe Jiang Qinqin's excuse:

"You went out early in the morning and didn't come back until almost dark. You were out clinging to him all day, and you still dare to say nothing happened?!"

“I told you I’m going to see an old friend, a woman, believe it or not!” Jiang Qinqin said firmly.

Just then, Yin Qiaoqiao, who was standing by the window, suddenly spoke up: "Hey, come and see! Wu Yuchen is still standing down there, smiling and waving at me!"

Jiang Qinqin's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, thinking that Wu Yuchen hadn't returned yet. She immediately ran to the window and craned her neck to look outside, but after a while, she couldn't see a trace of him and realized she had been tricked. She turned around and found her roommates laughing heartily inside.

Yin Qiaoqiao smiled and teased, "Look how nervous you were just now, and you said it was okay?"

"What does this prove? I'm just afraid he'll come after me if he has something to say!" Jiang Qinqin retorted stubbornly, refusing to admit anything.

Seeing this, Yin Qiaoqiao was not in a hurry, and said with a smile:

"Okay, you said yourself that it has nothing to do with him. I just think Wu Yuchen is pretty good; he's handsome and talented. I'll ask him out for dinner tomorrow and give it a try!"

These words made Jiang Qinqin's heart skip a beat, and she immediately blurted out, "No way!"

Yin Qiaoqiao feigned surprise:
"Why not? He doesn't have a girlfriend yet, and you two have no relationship, Qinqin. It's none of your business if I develop a relationship with him."

Jiang Qinqin roughly understood that Yin Qiaoqiao was probably teasing her, but what if she really went?

Living under the same roof, she could sense how skilled Yin Qiaoqiao was at dealing with men.

"I... I just can't do it!" Jiang Qinqin stamped her foot.

Yin Qiaoqiao stepped forward with a charming smile: "Then tell me, were you with him the whole day?"

This time, Jiang Qinqin dared not deny it anymore, biting her lip and blushing as she acquiesced.

The dormitory room erupted in cheers as the girls surrounded Jiang Qinqin and began interrogating her one by one.

……

While Jiang Qinqin was being tortured into confessing, Wu Yuchen hummed a tune as he returned to his dormitory. He glanced at the sky and saw that it wasn't dark yet, so he picked up a notebook from the table and went out again.

When he arrived home, it was already past seven o'clock, and his father, Wu Jianping, was watching the evening news.

"Oh, why are you back at this hour? Have you eaten?" Zhou Shulan had just finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen.

"Mom, I ate."

After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he walked directly to his father's side and handed him the notebook in his hand: "Dad, take a look."

Wu Jianping naturally understood what it meant, so he stopped watching TV and took his notebook with his son into the small study.

Wu Yuchen spent about half a month taking time out of his schedule to create a detailed outline for "Bright Sword".

Wu Jianping flipped through the notebook in his hand. It not only contained detailed plot developments, but also the personalities and general appearances of each character, allowing him to vividly picture each person in his mind at a glance.

Last time, he only heard his son give a rough account, but after seeing this detailed outline, Wu Jianping no longer had any doubts about whether the story of "Bright Sword" was appealing or whether he could successfully complete a novel based on it.

Wu Jianping had to admit that he had underestimated his son before; his creation, "Bright Sword," was indeed quite good!

"Dad, how long do you estimate it will take to finish writing?"

Hearing his son's question, Wu Jianping thought for a moment, then said:

"It's the end of the year, right? Your description of the war is a bit vague. I'll go check the data from that year and refine it."

Wu Yuchen nodded. The end of the year is only about two months away, and completing a novel of more than 30 words is not slow.

He knew Wu Jianping's personality; he would definitely consult a lot of materials and make preparations before starting to write, and after finishing, he would inevitably have to polish and refine it.

Wu Yuchen then asked, "Dad, when will this novel be published?"
