Su Heng and Liang Qing had just come out of the haunted house when they saw Song Zhiji and Chen Cuo.

When Chen Cuo saw the two holding hands, he immediately stared wide-eyed at Su Heng, his eyes seeming to say: Wow, brother, this is progressing way too fast!

Seeing this scene, Song Zhiji felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Despite his sour feelings, he still retained some rationality.

Liang Qing's calm expression and Su Heng's relieved look made him quickly guess the truth: Su Heng was probably afraid of ghosts, and Liang Qing was holding his hand because he was scared.

When Su Heng and Liang Qing were walking hand in hand through the haunted house, he was indeed feeling quite excited. However, as he was repeatedly frightened by the ghosts that appeared, fear took over his entire mind, leaving him no time to think about romantic things.

Now that I'm out in the daylight and see Chen Cuo's teasing gaze, the lingering fear I felt earlier has been replaced by a secret delight.

By the time he looked at Song Zhiji, Liang Qing had already released his hand and said softly, "It's alright, don't be afraid anymore."

With Liang Qing saying this, the truth was laid bare before everyone.

Chen Cuo thought about it and agreed; it couldn't be that fast.

Song Zhiji felt that this was indeed the case, but even though the truth was the same as he thought, the soreness in his heart did not lessen at all.

As soon as Liang Qing's hand left, Su Heng felt an emptiness in his heart, just like his hand.

Both male protagonists were in a bad mood, but when Liang Qing heard the mechanical voice from the system announcing that Su Heng's favorability had risen to 80, he sighed that the trip was not in vain.

Song Zhiji's voice sounded a little hoarse, perhaps because he hadn't had water in a long time. "Liang Qing, let's go."

Su Heng interrupted, "Senior, it's almost six o'clock now. How about we go have dinner later? It's on me, as a way of thanking you for protecting me."

It was only then that Su Heng realized how painful it was to part with Liang Qing.

Seeing Liang Qing's hesitant expression, Chen Cuo quickly chimed in, "Yeah, senior, you must be tired after playing all day. Why don't you eat something and then go back to rest?"

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Song Zhiji felt the pressure around him getting lower and lower, so low that even Liang Qing could feel it.

Liang Qing glanced at his expression and was about to refuse Su Heng.

Song Zhiji suddenly said to everyone, "I want to go to the restroom to wash my hands first, but I'm not familiar with this place..."

He suddenly smiled at Su Heng and said, "Junior, can you come with me?"

Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes; they were as calm as stagnant water.

Seeing that he seemed to have ill intentions, Su Heng remained calm and said, "Alright, senior."

What a joke! Su Heng has never been afraid of anyone.

When the two arrived at the restroom, Song Zhiji checked that no one was inside before coldly asking, "What do you mean?"

Su Heng, hands in his pockets, feigned ignorance and asked, "What...what do you mean?"

Song Zhiji's expression grew increasingly grim, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said, "What scheme are you plotting against Liang Qing?"

The word "conspiracy" was too grating to Su Heng's ears.

The faint smile that had been on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a sudden, intense displeasure.

how?

Is Song Zhiji's relationship with Liang Qing completely innocent?

Su Heng approached Liang Qing with ulterior motives.

Su Heng knew that Song Zhiji had probably come to him to warn him to stay away from Liang Qing.

His answer was simple: he disagreed.

He originally intended to resolve the dispute peacefully, because Liang Qing had held his hand today, and he was in a good mood.

Not wanting Liang Qing to notice anything because of a heated argument with Song Zhiji, she was caught in the middle and in a dilemma.

But now that Song Zhiji was saying such awful things, Su Heng, who already had the temper of a spoiled young master, couldn't take it anymore.

Su Heng went straight to the point that Song Zhiji feared most: "I like her, what's wrong with that?"

There was no conspiracy; I just like her.

Song Zhiji was surprised that Su Heng admitted it so readily. He said sarcastically, "You were making things difficult for her just a while ago, and now you're telling me you like her?"

Su Heng felt a little guilty when Liang Qing brought up this matter, but he immediately remembered that he and Liang Qing had already reconciled.

Moreover, not only did the senior student forgive him, but she was also so kind to him today.

Why can't he like her?

Besides, this is between him and his senior, so why should Song Zhiji interfere?

Su Heng glanced at him dismissively. "This is between me and my senior. You have no right to interfere."

Song Zhiji clenched his fist and warned, "I won't let you hurt Liang Qing."

Su Heng was enraged by Song Zhiji's words, which immediately implied that he had ill intentions.

He shouted angrily, "Song Zhiji, don't go too far!"

"You dare say you didn't do those things?"

It has to be said that Song Zhiji was very clear about Su Heng's weaknesses, and Su Heng did feel somewhat guilty because Song Zhiji had brought up his "dark history".

But Su Heng was very clear-headed; he had wronged Liang Qing, not Song Zhiji.

So even though he felt guilty, he still wouldn't hold back with his words.

He retorted, "I did it, so what? You did it too. Why is it that you, Song Zhiji, are allowed to change your ways, but I can't?"

After being reminded by Su Heng, Song Zhiji realized that he was also one of the culprits who drove Liang Qing out of the house, and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Song Zhiji was speechless, Su Heng felt he had gained the upper hand and became more confident.

Driven by the lingering anger in his heart, he added maliciously, "Senior Song, if you were so capable, you wouldn't need me to fawn over you in front of my senior sister."

These words truly stung Song Zhiji, but he was not discouraged and had his own plans.

Liang Qing hasn't forgotten Qin Zhouyu yet, so he has no choice but to hold back, otherwise he might push things further away.

In fact, Song Zhiji had also considered whether to let Su Heng pursue Liang Qing and then wait for him to be rejected by Liang Qing.

However, Su Heng and Qin Zhouyu had so many similarities that he dared not take the gamble.

Therefore, he could only deliberately bring up the old issue to make Su Heng back down.

Unexpectedly, Su Heng turned the tables on him.

Because he himself had made the same mistake as Su Heng, his warning to Su Heng was not convincing at all.

After thinking for a moment, Song Zhiji said, "You're too naive. You're not good enough for her at all."

Su Heng felt that Song Zhiji was just looking for trouble because he couldn't find a reason to criticize him.

He also understood why Song Zhiji was so flustered; wasn't it because he was afraid that Song Zhiji would chase Liang Qing away?

Thinking of this, Su Heng was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

The fact that Song Zhiji is so afraid shows that he is a great threat to him, doesn't it?

His rival's jealousy is the best affirmation for him.

Once Su Heng understood this, he was able to speak calmly with Song Zhiji, saying, "Whether someone is good enough or not is not up to you to decide, senior."

Although his tone was much calmer, his words still annoyed Song Zhiji.

Song Zhiji changed the subject, directly addressing the reason for Su Heng's confidence today, and bluntly said, "Liang Qing took care of you today because she is a good person, not because of you. You don't need to be too proud."
