Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Chapter 278: A mortal woman who seeks wealth and glory instead of true love vs. a god who has experi

Zhu Qi had been behind Shu Qiu and witnessed the whole process of her standing in front of him and driving Zhang Shu away.

Unlike most people, when being protected by someone, his first reaction was not to be touched, but to inexplicably guess Shu Qiu's intentions.

Didn’t they both say yesterday that they were using each other?

He used Shu Qiu to get a stable home, and she used herself to consolidate her family property and not be oppressed by so-called elders and kind-hearted people.

He should take responsibility for Zhang Shu's picking on him.

Why is Shu Qiu protecting him like this now? What benefits can he gain from him?

Or did she want to deceive him with her kind appearance, and then do something bigger when he let down his guard?

Zhu Qi turned the thought over in his mind and finally asked.

"Why did you speak for me just now?"

Shu Qiu didn't notice anything was wrong with him, and said as he walked:

"He's a man I've never met before, but he came to my house and acted like my uncle. Just now it seemed like he was talking about you, but he was actually blaming me."

"He wants to act like an elder. If I let him continue, who knows what he might do in the future."

"Of course, we need to suppress him once and for all to prevent him from causing trouble in the future."

She did not at all mean to glorify her actions as helping others when she said this, she was honestly expressing her considerations.

It turns out that she was considering her own situation!

Zhu Qi suddenly realized, and his half-hearted heart finally settled back into his stomach.

Yes, he is a man with nothing, what would anyone want from him?

He had bigger plans, and Zhu Qi couldn't help but find it funny that he was always suspicious.

After feeling relieved, he followed Shu Qiu into the house.

Following closely behind him, Zhu Qi's eyes were still filled with her back.

This scene is so familiar.

For some reason, he recalled the scene where Shu Qiu stood in front of him. At that time, he actually had another speculation about "protection" in his heart.

That is, Shu Qiu wanted to help him out from the bottom of his heart without asking for anything in return.

She stood in front of him, playing the role of a protector. From the corner of his eye, he saw the girl's profile, which was serious and determined, as if she was thinking of him with all her heart.

Even though he had doubts, he still felt warm and cherished this feeling of being remembered.

Now that his doubts were gone, the feeling of being remembered also disappeared, and Zhu Qi suddenly felt disappointed.

The feeling of disappointment came on strong and soon swept over his entire body, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Qi felt as if he had some strange illness.

When I feel protected and thought of, I always feel doubtful and suspicious, and feel that something is wrong.

Later Shu Qiu explained it clearly. I lost that feeling, but started to miss it again.

Zhu Qi knew that this idea was not good, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He was a little absent-minded and unknowingly followed Shu Qiu to the door of her bedroom.

Shu Qiu stopped to open the door, and before Zhu Qi could come to his senses, he bumped into her without stopping.

"what--"

Shu Qiu touched his back which was hurt from the collision and screamed in surprise.

"Sorry sorry, are you okay?"

Zhu Qi wanted to go forward to check the situation at the place he had touched, but he knew the difference between men and women, so he paused.

The conflicting thoughts made him seem a little helpless.

In fact, Zhu Qi's steps were not fast, so the impact of the collision was not great.

It was a little painful at first, but it eased after a while and soon returned to normal.

Shu Qiu didn't bother with him about this, but just had some questions:

"What are you thinking about? You seem distracted."

Zhu Qi didn't know how to answer, so he shook his head and remained silent.

"Then I'll go back to my room and continue embroidering the handkerchief. It's still early, why don't you go back to your room and rest. Your wound hasn't healed yet, and more rest will help speed up the healing process."

Zhu Qi nodded, turned and walked towards his room. When his hand was about to touch the door handle, Shu Qiu suddenly called him.

"Zhu Qi."

"I came out to confront others, and everything I did was for myself. But when I saw Zhang Shu pointing his finger at you and cursing at you, it wasn't the same when I pushed his hand away and stood in front of you."

"The reason we came together is simple and straightforward. I will never treat you as my own brother in the future, but we have to rely on each other for a long time. I can't let you be bullied."

Shu Qiu was not deliberately expressing her feelings. She turned her head to look at Zhu Qi, and her voice reached his ears clearly.

The two of them were quite far apart, but Zhu Qi was sure that what she said came from her heart.

Shu Qiu had her own selfish motives, but at least for a moment, she was truly thinking about me.

The warm feeling was lost and regained, and a little secret joy quietly emerged.

Zhu Qi didn't want to experience disappointment again due to any unexpected events, so he didn't continue to speculate whether she had other purposes in her words.

After all, he is only thirteen years old. He has not encountered much darkness and despair. He has not yet lost his obsession with everything, so he will naturally miss this warmth.

The frank warmth with a hint of utility can not only soothe Zhu Qi's heart, but also bring him a different kind of peace of mind.

With just a few words, Shu Qiu pulled people back to the ground from the quagmire, then pushed them into the abyss, and finally brought them into the sky surrounded by soft clouds.

The alternation of tension and relaxation stimulated Zhu Qi's mood to the greatest extent.

Because of this incident, when facing Shu Qiu, Zhu Qidu began to slowly give up his previous reaction of questioning.

Based on his recent experience with Shu Qiu, as long as he asked, he would get an honest response.

For several times in a row, his doubts were all met with the result that he was just being too sentimental.

Zhu Qiji didn't like the feeling of being lifted up and then put down, so he naturally began to relax.

But this lax defense was only aimed at Shu Qiu.

After the farce in the daytime, Shu Qiu and Zhu Qi lived a long period of peace.

In the beginning, no one was used to the sudden presence of another person in their life.

But when life settles down and there is someone to share the pressure of life with, sometimes, just having someone to talk to can make life feel a lot easier.

Neither of them was the type to seek trouble, so they gradually got to know each other better.

Later, when Zhu Qi recovered, he began to participate in the task of "supporting the family".

He lived in the forest for several years and the first thing he tried was hunting.

The thirteen-year-old boy was not very skilled in hunting.

Most of the prey harvested from hunting were small. Apart from adding some dishes to the daily table, the money earned from selling them was less than half of what Shu Qiu could earn from embroidering a handkerchief.

Perhaps it was because he was born with a daring and hardworking nature that Zhu Qi was unwilling to continue living like this, and he finally decided to do some business.
