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

“I won’t let him know; this has nothing to do with him.”

Xu Xi suddenly laughed, "He did nothing, said nothing, to lure me down this path; choosing to embark on this path was entirely my own decision, and he doesn't need to take any responsibility for my fate."

……

Liang Qing followed Qin Zhoumu and Xu Xi absentmindedly. After Xu Xi poured out her heart to her in that small room, Liang Qing was speechless and unable to comment on her words.

The two did not blow-dry each other's hair as previously agreed. Liang Qing left the room, leaving Xu Xi alone, and went outside to wait in another room.

After drying their hair, they met up with Qin Zhouyu and Qin Zhouyu, who had already showered, at the gate, and then walked up the mountain together.

Although there is a lamp every so often, the mountain path is still rugged.

Liang Qing kept her head down, ostensibly paying attention to the path beneath her feet, but in reality, her mind was in turmoil.

I accidentally stepped on a small stone that was stuck in the mud, and a sharp pain suddenly shot through my ankle.

Liang Qing inevitably cried out in pain, and Qin Zhouyu behind him and Qin Zhoumu Xu Xi, who was walking in front, both looked over upon hearing the sound.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Qin Zhoumu asked, turning around.

Qin Zhouyu was closer to Liang Qing. He took two big steps to her side, squatted down without saying a word, and turned on his phone's flashlight to examine her feet.

Xu Xi and Qin Zhoumu had already turned back and, seeing Qin Zhouyu's actions, understood what was going on.

He knew what had happened to her without even asking, which proves that he had been paying attention to her the whole time he was walking at the back.

Although Xu Xi had already suspected it, he still couldn't help but feel sad after it was confirmed.

Liang Qing took a deep breath in pain before answering, "I accidentally twisted my ankle."

Qin Zhouyu stood up, his eyes still fixed on her feet, and asked, "Can you still walk?"

Liang Qing tried it, but as soon as she lifted her heel, she fell back down because of the pain.

She staggered slightly, and Qin Zhouyu, standing beside her, supported her wrist with an inscrutable expression, helping her regain her balance.

Seeing the extent of her foot injury, Governor Qin frowned slightly. "It looks like she can't go up the mountain anymore. I think I should take her to the hospital."

He then turned to Xu Xi and said, "Xu Xi, you and your brother take your sister to the hospital. I'll go back up the mountain and tell Senior Song that we'll head over after we've packed everything."

Xu Xi shook her head: "Let Zhou Yu take my sister there. I'll go with you. There's too much stuff for the two of you to carry."

Liang Ting glanced at Xu Xi upon hearing this, only to see her smiling slightly at her.

Liang Qing didn't know how to deal with her, so she could only awkwardly look away.

After the division of labor was clear, Governor Qin and Xu Xi immediately rushed up the mountain, leaving Qin Zhouyu and Liang Qing behind.

Qin Zhouyu turned his back and squatted on the ground, whispering, "Come on, I'll carry you down the mountain."

Liang Qing knew that she couldn't walk right now, so even though it was very awkward between them, she didn't refuse.

Liang Qing leaned against his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered, "Thank you."

Qin Zhouyu did not answer. He put his hands on her legs, adjusted his posture, and began to carry her down the mountain.

Liang Qing leaned against his back, feeling the warmth of his back, and remembering Xu Xi's words, she couldn't help but hug him tighter.

Qin Zhouyu noticed and stopped, asking, "Does it hurt a lot?"

"No." Liang Qing lowered her eyes, only able to see his shoulder. She suddenly remembered his hand injury. He had been wearing a coat the whole time, so she hadn't seen how well the wound was healing.

Although Qin Zhoumu just said that the scabs had already formed, it's not impossible for them to crack again because of carrying her.

Thinking of this, Liang Qing asked Qin Zhouyu to put her down, saying, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

Qin Zhouyu was puzzled by her change of heart halfway through the journey. "Why?"

Liang Qing's voice grew softer and softer, "Your hand isn't healed yet, I'm afraid the wound will reopen."

Qin Zhouyu did not agree to her request, but hugged her leg tightly and started walking again, saying only, "We'll be there soon."

He carried her on his back for more than ten minutes until they finally reached the foot of the mountain.

Qin Zhouyu walked to a nearby bench before bending down to let Liang Qing sit down. "You sit here and wait for a moment, I'll get a taxi."

"Okay." Liang listened attentively and sat down on the stool.

The signal was not very good by the bench, so Qin Zhouyu walked to the streetlight ahead where the signal was better and hailed a taxi.

The warm yellow light illuminated Qin Zhouyu's profile. Looking at this scene, Liang Qing inexplicably recalled what Xu Xi had said about the first smile Qin Zhouyu had ever given her—a smile that existed solely for Liang Qing.

However, looking at Qin Zhouyu's cold and stern face, Liang Qing realized that she could no longer make him show that delightful smile.

After hailing a taxi, Qin Zhouyu stood under the streetlight without moving, waiting for the car to arrive while keeping his eyes on Liang Qing.

But then he noticed Liang Qing staring at him, and thinking she needed something, he stopped a few steps ahead of her. "What's wrong?"

"Can you let me see your hands?" Liang Qing looked up into his eyes.

He avoided her gaze, turned his back to her, and put his hands in his coat pockets, leaving behind a lonely figure.

"It's ready."

Liang Qing vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She endured the pain, stood up, and went to pull at his clothes.

Qin Zhouyu only noticed Liang Qing standing up when his coat was suddenly pulled by an external force. His handsome eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he said angrily, "Why are you standing up? Sit back down."

"Let me see your hands."

“I told you I’m fine,” Qin Zhouyu said sternly, prying her hand off his coat. “Sit back down quickly. If you’ve broken a bone, it could leave lasting damage.”

Liang Qing refused to comply and insisted on taking off his coat. During the struggle, she accidentally hurt her foot and winced in pain, but she still wouldn't let go of his coat.

Qin Zhouyu saw cold sweat on her forehead and knew that she had aggravated her wound again.

He quickly stopped what he was doing, his tone softening slightly as he said helplessly, "Please listen to me, okay?"

As soon as he let go, he gave Liang Qing an opportunity. Liang Qing didn't bother to take off his coat. Instead, he rolled up his sleeve and saw the arm hidden under his coat. He held his breath for a few seconds.

On his arm, there was a ten-centimeter-long scar, stitched with more than a dozen stitches, still not removed, making it look like a giant centipede.

One of the lines broke, pulling out a scabbed section of the wound, which was bleeding.

Qin Zhouyu quickly withdrew his hand and rolled up the sleeves of his coat in a few quick movements, covering his arms completely.

Seeing his actions, Liang Qing understood everything.

Qin Zhouyu already knew that the wound had reopened, but he still carried her here, and even deliberately kept a certain distance from her so that she wouldn't notice his abnormality.
