After the light rain, the air is filled with a moist scent, fresh and refreshing.

Su Mo carried Keqing on his back and walked slowly on the way back.

Keqing lay on Su Mo's shoulder, looking at his straight face, looking a little bored. She hummed softly, "Su Mo, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Su Mo responded to Keqing while looking ahead, but he did not turn to look at the girl.

Seeing this, Keqing curled her lips, pondered for a moment, and said: "You don't have to tell me if I ask. It's about Yunjin." After saying that, Keqing suddenly became a little restrained, her body tense, her purple pupils staring at Su Mo's profile, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

After hearing Keqing's words, Su Mo nodded, his tone as warm as usual, "Okay."

Seeing Su Mo doing this, Keqing felt as if she had been pardoned and breathed a sigh of relief. She completely relaxed behind Su Mo, lying there and letting her body sway with his movements.

Feeling the other person's body temperature, Keqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, relaxed and comfortable.

Keqing could ask directly, but she felt that she should still seek the other party's opinion on such matters, although she was a little jealous now, partly because Su Mo was so close to her at the moment, but the other party didn't dare to turn around and look at her.

Secondly, Yun Jin, Mr. Yun, was so unassuming that she treated him like an ordinary friend. But she never expected that after her sincere treatment, he would stab her in the back. This scene was truly hilarious, reminiscent of those fools in the storybooks who are kind to others but end up being stabbed in the back. Such people are often viewed with either dismay or laughter, or gloating over their misfortune.

At this moment, Keqing felt like she was no different from those idiot, nice-to-me people, too trusting of others and thus being stabbed in the back. One moment, they were all laughing and joking, and the next, they were at war. It was truly impossible to guard against it. She could only sigh, the world is unpredictable.

This made Keqing feel angry, ashamed and regretful.

I am angry because Yun Jin is not a good friend. She breaks the law knowingly and doesn’t understand that you can’t bully your best friend’s husband.

What she felt ashamed and regretful about was that she didn't even notice the other party's evil ambitions, and she was even honest and friendly to him, looking like an idiot.

Isn't this the same as leaving your door open, exposing your belongings to thieves and letting them take them away openly? Wouldn't the thief feel comfortable taking them?

Who knows, at that time he will say, who told you to open the door and show the important things? Doesn't the meaning of that is to open the door to welcome guests, and hope you can pick more?

Thinking of this, anger, shame and regret intertwined together, and Keqing found it difficult to evaluate her emotions.

But compared to this, I still want to understand better where I lost.

Su Mo had only been separated from her for a while, so how come someone got there first?

Keqing couldn't understand why all the affection she had felt since childhood couldn't compare to a period of time?

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you better prescribe the right medicine. Of course, she also wants to know what virtue and ability this hidden Yun Jin has to lure Su Mo, a big fool, from her side to the other side.

This was one of the reasons why she suddenly asked the question.

If that was the only reason for Keqing's remark, it wouldn't completely relax her. It was just an experience, after all. She could find out the truth, or even confront Yunjin directly.

But the key lies in Su Mo's response and tone.

In fact, she was worried inside after she said it, for fear that the other party would say something like, "It's none of your business."

This sentence was cold and distant, which also meant that the other party did not want to mention this matter to her, or from now on the two of them would not have much intersection other than official business. However, now it seems that she was too suspicious.

The other party did not avoid this question too much, or ask her to keep silent, but responded calmly as usual, which means that their relationship remains the same.

Keqing regained her usual composure and inquired, "When exactly did you get together with Yunjin?"

Su Mo thought for a moment and replied, "It's been a while, probably around the night of the Lantern Festival."

Keqing suddenly exclaimed, "Lantern Festival!? I remember now, Sister Ningguang and I are going to work overtime, and you are going to pick up girls by yourself!?" There was dissatisfaction and resentment in her tone.

If you want to pick up girls, just go find her. At worst, you can work overtime together. Besides, there is no one around during the holidays, so naturally you can do whatever you want. If he forces himself on her, can she refuse? At most, she will be reluctant but shy. They are in love with each other, so just treat it as a holiday gift.

As a result, he ran out to look for wild flowers. What's going on?

"What is picking up girls?"

Su Mo was a little dissatisfied. The moment he turned around, he happened to meet Keqing's gaze. The two were very close, and they could feel each other's breath. Su Mo's face flushed slightly, and he turned away hurriedly, mumbling, "You girl, why are you asking this all of a sudden? I can't say that, it can only be called a coincidence."

Keqing nodded and scoffed, "Coincidence? I don't believe it. We both happened to be on our way out, and you just happened to run into Yunjin confessing his love? You've got such a good plan. And when did you become jealous? How come I didn't know?"

"Changing of heart? That's impossible, it's just that the timing is wrong. Also, it wasn't me who confessed my love, it was her." Su Mo explained.

"Her cousin!?" Keqing was shocked and stared at Su Mo with wide eyes.

Su Mo nodded, which made Keqing even more puzzled.

Yunjin's confession?

Is Yunjin so powerful?

That was a step that Yuhengxing Keqing, who had lived her life with vigour and determination, had never taken.

It was truly unbelievable that Yun Jin, a girl who usually looked delicate and frail, would actually do such a thing. If it were a cheerful and bold woman, she would naturally not think it was a big deal. But she was Yun Jin, and this behavior didn't seem to fit in with her ladylike temperament... unless...

In a flash, Keqing quickly understood the whole situation from a woman's perspective and said seriously, "Apart from the Lantern Festival, is there anything else between you two? Tell me about it!" Keqing's tone was commanding.

Su Mo didn't want to talk too much about his personal affairs, but he couldn't stand Keqing's constant pestering.

"What!? She even deliberately invited you to dinner? How despicable! She actually resorted to such tactics." Keqing exclaimed, then muttered, "But why didn't I think of that..."

"What did you say?"

"It's okay, you continue..."

"Ah!? You sang for her? I've never even heard of it..."

Su Mo rolled his eyes and said, "If you keep doing this, I won't say anything..."

"Okay, okay, you tell me..."

Su Mo walked on the street with Keqing on his back, telling her about his three recent experiences and listening to her response.

Su Mo finished his story. Seeing that the other party didn't continue speaking, Keqing patted him and asked, "That's all?"

"That's all," Su Mo shook his head. He had already told Keqing about his three recent experiences.

Keqing received the response but did not say anything. She just quickly recalled all the key nodes and context in her mind, and then put herself in the shoes of a woman, which made her more determined in her inner thoughts.

She stared at Su Mo's profile with sharp eyes and said coldly, "Did you know her before?"

Su Mo shook his head, "There's not much overlap."

"Really?" Keqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Mo.

"Really," Su Mo nodded.

He had already told Keqing about his recent experience, but the details were slightly hidden when he finally confessed his feelings.

"Hey, if you put it that way, I'm confused." Keqing looked at Su Mo with a very strange look.

Su Mo got goosebumps when he was stared at. "What's wrong?"

Keqing thought for a moment and asked an insignificant question, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Su Mo shook his head. He certainly didn't believe in love at first sight. There wasn't much of this kind of thing except for lust at first sight. At most, there would be a moment of surprise, but they would never end up together.

Keqing continued, "Did you buy her anything during your trip? Like a small gift or something..."

Su Mo shook his head.

"Did you say anything to her that touched her, expressing your love for her or something like that?" Keqing continued to ask.

Su Mo thought about it and still shook his head.

Keqing clicked her tongue, a little surprised, then stood up and looked forward, "Is she teasing you?"

"Why do you say that?" Su Mo looked back at Keqing, puzzled. This immediately caused Keqing to lose her balance and stumble, almost falling. Fortunately, she hurriedly grabbed Su Mo's clothes and saved herself from falling.

Keqing glared at Su Mo and said angrily, "You did this on purpose!"

Su Mo ignored Keqing's complaints, but just adjusted his posture slightly and shook Keqing so that she could move forward better.

Keqing frowned slightly because of the shaking, but did not complain anymore. She just lay back on Su Mo's back and continued to sway gently with his steps.

Keqing calmed down and began to analyze. "From your description, it seems she was the one who took the initiative between you two. Judging from your behavior, since you didn't have much interaction before, you didn't buy her anything, and you didn't express your interest in her, then what gives her the right to be so proactive with you?"

Su Mo was speechless for a moment.

Keqing continued, "Such a beautiful and virtuous girl, and you haven't given anything in return, nor have you shown any kindness to her, yet she's so proactive and attentive to you for no reason. Do you think such a good thing could happen in the world? Even if it did, why would it happen to a straight man like you, Su Mo? Do you think it's possible? Even if it's possible, what are the odds?"

Su Mo frowned slightly.

"You two are together now, so why would she choose to express her feelings to a straight man like you, with so many people liking her and so many suitors, and with such good conditions, and with so few interactions with her?"

Although Keqing's words were questioning and hypothetical, they were like a big rock hitting the calm lake of Su Mo's heart, which immediately set off a huge wave. Su Mo couldn't help but feel doubtful and asked a question in his heart.

Yes, why?

……

Yes, why?

Why is it so late? I can’t sleep yet. I have an early shift tomorrow.

Of course, we need to live up to our readers, π_π
