Knowing that he had discovered his trickery, Governor Qin lowered his head guiltily, picked up the menu and started flipping through it, not daring to look at him again.

Su Heng also felt a little guilty, but his guilt stemmed from what had happened before.

Every time he sees Qin Zhouyu, he is reminded of the time he was beaten by him.

Yan Yu was a little confused, but he also recognized Qin Zhouyu's identity.

Looking at him now, he looks like Tang Sanzang who was tricked into the Spider Cave.

He then looked at Qin Zhoumu, his younger brother. Had he not told him that there were other people in the private room?

The only one in the room who seemed to enjoy the drama was Yan Su. He was the first to break the silence in the room, gesturing to the only empty seat in the room, the one between Liang Qing and Qin Zhoumu, "Sit down, Zhouyu."

Qin Zhouyu suppressed his anger, withdrew his gaze from Qin Zhoumu, and looked at Yan Su, "No need, I..."

Suddenly, Liang Mu interrupted him, "Sit down, it's just a meal."

Qin Zhouyu stared at him for a few seconds, a gentle smile on his face.

In the end, Qin Zhouyu didn't leave the private room and sat in an empty seat.

"It's just a meal," he thought, looking down.

When Governor Qin saw him sit down, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to strike up a conversation when he received a glare from him and immediately became obedient.

He looked at Xue Fanxing sitting opposite him as if pleading for help, but she was looking at the menu with a carefree expression, occasionally exchanging a few words with Liang Qing, and not looking at him at all.

He had no choice but to look away, secretly thinking to himself, "They call themselves 'allies,' so why am I the only one suffering?"

The host, Yan Yu, spoke up, "Let's order."

All the dishes ordered by everyone were served, and they began to eat.

During this time, Su Heng ladled out a bowl of soup, then suddenly stood up, holding the soup in both hands like a treasure, and said to Liang Qing with red ears, "Senior, this soup is delicious, you should try it."

Yan Su's vision went black. What was he up to now, under everyone's watchful eyes?

Su Heng's sudden action indeed drew everyone's attention to him.

Yan Yu looked at him, who was acting like he was toasting someone, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, but she restrained herself from making a sound.

Sitting to his left, Governor Qin lowered his head awkwardly and ate a few more bites of rice.

Qin Zhouyu glanced at him and then looked away, continuing to pick up food from in front of him as if no one else was there.

Xue Fanxing raised an eyebrow. Although this kid looked a bit silly, he had courage.

Liang Mu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he thought the same thing as Xue Fanxing.

Not being afraid of being laughed at is also a kind of courage.

"Thank you." Liang Qing also stood up and took the soup he handed over with both hands.

Between them were Qin Zhouyu and Qin Zhoumu. Liang Qing reached out to take the bowl that Su Heng handed over, her fair arm placed in front of Qin Zhouyu's eyes.

For a few seconds, her body blocked his face, making him a blind spot for others.

In those few short seconds, memories of his past with Liang Qing played like a slideshow in his mind.

In their house, he handed Liang Qing the soup he had cooked countless times, and she reached out to take it countless times.

He was afraid of burning her hands, so he would only let go of them when he placed them in front of her.

Qin Zhouyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and complex emotions flowed in his eyes, his expression showing a moment of vulnerability.

Pain spread through his heart, and the memories acted as a catalyst, making his pain grow stronger and stronger.

He blamed himself, wondering why he couldn't forget even though he wanted to.

He thought he could forget, but when the memory resurfaced, he realized that he remembered even the details clearly.

He remembered her hands, her smile, and the tone of her voice.

But when Liang Qing's body moved away, he still appeared the same as before to everyone.

He listened to the faint, crackling sound coming from the chair next to him, and his heart skipped a beat.

No one noticed the change in him, and no one will notice the change in him.

Even Liang Qing would no longer notice the changes in him.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." Qin Zhouyu said, then opened the door to the private room and walked out.

His expression seemed normal, so most people didn't notice anything amiss.

Ten minutes later, when he still hadn't returned, Yan Yu felt something was amiss and said to Qin Zhoumu, "Shouldn't you send a message to your brother to see if something has delayed him?"

Governor Qin had been restless, already hesitating about whether to go out and look for his brother. Now that Yan Yu had brought it up, it seemed natural for him to agree. "I'll go out and take a look," he said.

Just as Qin Zhoumu was about to get up, Liang Mu beat him to it and said gently, "I was just about to go to the restroom, let me go check for you."

"That's troublesome."

To be honest, Qin Zhoumu doesn't want to meet his brother in private for the time being; he's afraid he'll get beaten up.

He was just worried that his brother might have left because he had tricked him into coming in.

If that's the case, then his brother is already furious, wouldn't he be asking for a beating if he went there?

But if that's not the case, what if something happens to his brother if he doesn't go to him?

Now that Liang Mu is willing to do it for him, it's a huge help.

"polite."

Liang Qing ate quietly, as if these series of minor incidents were of no concern to her.

Only Xue Fanxing, who was sitting next to her, felt worried. Although Liang Qing was eating, she hadn't picked up any food for a long time and had been shoveling rice into her mouth.

Moreover, she herself doesn't seem to have noticed this. What's wrong with her?

What are you thinking about now?

Although Qin Zhouyu appeared calm, Xue Fanxing couldn't help but feel that he was running away from something, especially since he suddenly left the party without hesitation.

Did Su Heng's attentiveness towards Liang Qing make him jealous, or did Liang Qing's acceptance of Su Heng's attentiveness make him uncomfortable?

If even she could notice Qin Zhouyu's unusual behavior, how could Liang Qing not notice it?

Xue Fanxing remembered the time when Liang Qing went to the music room to wait for her, but instead encountered Qin Zhouyu.

She didn't say anything in the music room, in front of Qin Zhouyu.

But once they were a short distance apart, she asked Liang Qing in surprise, "When did you become so enthusiastic? This is the first time I've ever seen you take the initiative to talk to a boy."

"Really?" Liang Qing was skeptical of her words.

“Maybe yes, maybe no,” Xue Fanxing pulled her closer, “but you actually invited him to have dinner together? That’s really strange.”

She deliberately drew out the last word, then mimicked a villain's sly laugh from a TV drama, "You haven't fallen for him at first sight, have you?"

Liang Qing smiled helplessly, "You're overthinking it."

Then, for some reason, she couldn't laugh anymore. As she walked, she suddenly said, "He was acting very strangely back then."

"Even though the music he played was so cheerful and beautiful, he looked like he was in pain, and his pain made me uneasy."

……

Liang Qing, who could keenly sense Qin Zhouyu's emotions with just a piece of music and even took the initiative to help him break free from his abnormality, is now completely indifferent to his strange behavior.
