The daily life of a crazy female supporting character trying to redeem herself.

"You will be happy, right?"

He held her even tighter, and they pressed close together, so close that their heartbeats seemed to come from the same chest.

“Yes,” Liang Qing gently patted his back, “I will.”

He held her for a long time without saying a word. As time passed second by second, his grip on her waist gradually loosened. "I promise you."

Liang Qing lifted her face from his chest, his eyes shrouded in a misty haze. Seeing her looking at him, he gave her a smile, his dimples appearing before her eyes. "I promise you, I'll never bother with you again."

Liang Qing's eyelashes trembled violently. Looking into his eyes, her blood seemed to freeze for a moment, causing a suffocating pain in her heart.

Why is this happening?

Isn't this what she wants?

He granted her request, and she achieved her goal.

But when he said "I'll never care about you again," her heart ached so much.

At that moment, she clearly realized that she was more reluctant to part with the person in front of her than she had imagined.

She wanted to say thank you to him, just like he said, and end their relationship there.

But her lips seemed frozen, unable to move no matter what she did.

Qin Zhouyu raised his left hand and gently stroked her face, while his right hand remained around her waist. He looked intently at her face with his eyes that shimmered with light through the mist.

Liang Qing couldn't take her eyes off his tormenting gaze, and she trembled when his fingertips touched her cheek.

Qin Zhouyu stared intently at her, as if trying to memorize every detail of her.

Liang Qing didn't push him away; she just stood there, watching him breathe slowly.

"Goodbye."

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Zhouyu seemed to have finally seen enough. He removed his left hand from her face and his right hand gradually withdrew from her waist.

Following his movement, Liang Qing's hand, which was resting on his arm, gradually slipped off.

The whole process was quite slow; time seemed to slow down as they looked at each other.

Just as they were about to part ways, footsteps and voices suddenly came from the corner leading to the stands.

"It'll be easier to find her in the stands. She might be riding her horse right there. Just turn around..."

The male voice suddenly stopped, and the scene that came into view after turning the corner made him stop in his tracks.

Almost without thinking, he immediately turned to look at Yan Su, who had come with him.

Yan Su stood less than a step behind him. Compared to his astonishment, his expression was quite calm, even somewhat indifferent.

His unmoving expression and pale face, in the dim light, gave him an almost inhuman air, making him resemble a plaster statue in an exhibition hall.

Qin Zhouyu and Liang Qing had instinctively separated the moment they heard the noise.

Since Liu Qi and Yan Su had been walking towards Qin Zhouyu, they initially only saw Qin Zhouyu and did not see Liang Qing's face.

However, when she stepped out of Qin Zhouyu's embrace and turned to look at the source of the sound, they could clearly see each other.

The moment Liang Qing saw Yan Su, her temples throbbed; his appearance was something she hadn't expected.

When her eyes landed on Yan Su, Yan Su's gaze shot towards her like an arrow.

However, their eyes met for less than two seconds before Yan Su stopped looking at her and looked at the person beside her.

His gaze seemed to freeze on Qin Zhouyu, who did not look away but silently met his gaze.

Although Yan Su's expression seemed normal, Qin Zhouyu knew from the gaze that seemed to be glued to him that he was not as indifferent as he appeared.

As time passed, that gaze grew colder and colder, as if it were about to turn into a knife and stab into his chest.

Qin Zhouyu frowned slightly, but decided to offer an explanation.

Even though he didn't care about Yan Su's opinion of him, Liang Qing did; she admitted to herself that she liked Yan Su.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhouyu couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

"Yan Su..."

He had just opened his mouth when Yan Su suddenly walked quickly in front of him, so fast that Liu Qi, who was standing in front of him, and Liang Qing, who was next to Qin Zhouyu, did not react before he was in front of Qin Zhouyu.

Liang Qing was the first to act, fearing that the aggressive Yan Su would attack Qin Zhouyu, and she planned to stand between them.

She had just taken a step when something unexpected happened.

Yan Su hugged Qin Zhouyu tightly, his voice tinged with sadness, "Zhouyu, Xiao Qing told us you're leaving in a few days, and we really will miss you."

His action surprised everyone present, and Liang Qing was the first to realize Yan Su's intention.

She glanced at Liu Qi, who was standing not far away, looking somewhat dazed.

It wasn't a big deal that Yan Su saw her hugging Qin Zhouyu. Yan Su might get angry because of her behavior, but it wasn't out of jealousy, but simply because of their agreement.

They both knew perfectly well the reasons behind their "relationship".

However, to unrelated people, she is Yan Su's girlfriend, yet she is hugging Qin Zhouyu. If this gets out, rumors will spread like wildfire.

In reality, the rumors themselves weren't very damaging to Liang Qing. What she feared was that these rumors would lead others to dig deeper into her and Qin Zhouyu's relationship.

Presumably Yan Su shared the same concerns as her, which is why he made such a move, attributing her hug with Qin Zhouyu just now to a farewell hug between friends.

No wonder he hurriedly interrupted Qin Zhouyu before he could say anything; after all, if she and Qin Zhouyu had said that themselves, it would have seemed too far-fetched.

However, if it's Yan Su, even if it's fake, it looks real.

After all, if her hug with Qin Zhouyu wasn't just a friendly embrace, then he would be the one being "cuckolded."

Which cuckold would help his girlfriend and her lover cover up for each other?

Yan Su hugged Qin Zhouyu briefly before quickly leaving him. His tone was kind and gentle, "Xiao Qing and I will definitely see you off on the day you go to England, after all, we are such good friends."

Liang Qing observed Liu Qi's expression; he clearly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yan Su's words.

It seems he believed it.

Having said all that, Qin Zhouyu understood Yan Su's intention.

He exchanged a few pleasantries with Yan Su, following his words.

To outsiders, the two really did look like close brothers.

As they chatted, Yan Su seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Qin Zhouyu with a smile, "Look at me, I'm so engrossed in talking to you that I almost forgot about the classmate who brought me here."

He turned back and nodded slightly to Liu Qi, then turned to Qin Zhouyu and Liang Qing and continued, "We'll talk later. I'll take him down first."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked towards Liu Qi. Liu Qi initially refused, but after Yan Su said a few words, he agreed. The two disappeared around the corner together.
