Chapter 145 I want to know now
Even after entering the private room, Chu Qiuchi still couldn't shake off the shock of that melon patch.
From the moment she entered and took her seat until now, she has remained silent, quietly observing Song Yuze and Ji Moyu with a slightly eerie gaze.
Nalan Xingyao and Chu Yichen, who were sitting to the side, were completely bewildered and looked utterly confused.
After a heated exchange of glances between the two to no avail, Chu Yichen gave Nalan Xingyao a look, signaling her to ask directly. Nalan Xingyao, puzzled yet composed, pulled off a brilliant counterattack. Another battle of wits ensued, but ultimately, Nalan Xingyao successfully overpowered Chu Yichen and seized the right to question him.
She slowly moved next to Chu Qiuchi and casually asked, "Qiuchi, what are you thinking about? Why are you staring at Yu-ge and Song Yuze like that?"
Chu Qiuchi didn't react for a moment and blurted out, "I was wondering who would go up and who would go down between them..."
The moment the words left her lips, an eerie silence fell over the private room, and ten pairs of shocked eyes immediately focused on her. Chu Qiuchi's face stiffened, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced to the side and saw Nalan Xingyao. In his heart, he cried out: Xingyao, you're trying to murder me!
She swallowed hard and said cautiously, "If... I say I didn't think of anything, would you believe me?"
The silence was deafening; well, nobody believed it.
At this moment, Ji Moyu's icy face had evolved into an eternally frozen expression, the chill in his eyes transforming into several sharp blades that pierced straight towards him. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Chu Qiuchi!" The entire private room seemed to tremble three times from this roar.
Chu Qiuchi shrank his neck slightly, then, thinking about how he had been flirting with blind men for so many years, he became somewhat self-righteous: "What's wrong? Are you angry because you're embarrassed? Although I shouldn't have said this, it's really nothing. True love is innocent."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Moyu suddenly leaped up and strode over.
Upon seeing this, Chu Qiuchi quickly jumped up, turned around, and ran away. As he ran, he didn't forget to turn back and remind Ji Moyu: "Brother, calm down. A gentleman uses words, not fists. Hitting a woman is the behavior of a scumbag."
Puyang Minghui looked at Song Yuze with a slightly stinging expression; Nalan Xingyao's expression was complicated, and she began to doubt her previous judgment; Chu Yichen's mouth was wide open, clearly still recovering from this shocking gossip. Song Yuze's gentle demeanor had completely shattered, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In the end, Ji Moyu caught Chu Qiuchi and cornered her in the private room. As soon as he reached out, Chu Qiuchi quickly and nimbly crouched down, thinking he was about to attack.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Ji Moyu's eyes, and the chill emanating from him gradually dissipated. He leaned down slightly, reached out and pinched her chin, forcibly lifting her face. Looking into her eyes, he said seriously, "Put away those messy thoughts in your head. I don't like men."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Chu Qiuchi's arm, pulling her straight up to stand up with a slight force. His enlarged version of his icy face was close to her ear, and he said coldly, "Next time you have any more wild thoughts, I'll let you experience for yourself whether I like men or women."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and suddenly switched positions, pinning Ji Moyu against the wall.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, tiptoed lightly, and leaned close to Ji Moyu's ear, about to speak. Suddenly, a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, and she gently opened her mouth and bit his earlobe.
Sensing Ji Moyu's body stiffen instantly, Chu Qiuchi curled her lips into a smile, her peach blossom eyes brimming with allure. Then, a seductive voice, tinged with provocation, escaped from her lips: "I want to know now."
At this moment, Ji Moyu's brain had completely shut down. His stiff body, reddened ear tips, and clenched fists silently spoke of the intense turmoil in his heart.
Meanwhile, the group of people who were still in shock were instantly drawn to the "melon field" on the other side.
Puyang Minghui and Nalan Xingyao were filled with excitement and anticipation. They almost cried out in surprise at Chu Qiuchi's actions. Good heavens, what could be more thrilling than witnessing a spectacle unfold live?
Chu Yichen was quite frightened by Chu Qiuchi's actions, and he repeatedly praised her in his heart, thinking that she was indeed worthy of being his sister, and was terrifyingly strong.
Song Yuze watched the two of them with amusement, then, recalling Chu Qiuchi's earlier words, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. It seemed he was the innocent victim all along.
After a long while, Ji Moyu finally reacted, his eyes as black as ink, as if brewing a raging storm. He gently lowered Chu Qiuchi's arm and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop fooling around."
Chu Qiuchi narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at him with some confusion, muttering to herself: What does this jerk mean? Could I have guessed wrong? But his behavior just now clearly showed jealousy. If he doesn't like men, then isn't she the only one left?
However, Ji Moyu did not answer her question. He turned around and walked back to his seat without looking back, sitting down expressionlessly.
Puyang Minghui quietly tugged at Nalan Xingyao's sleeve and whispered, "Xingyao, what's going on? Are they actually together?"
"It seems unlikely," Nalan Xingyao replied softly. "Look at Qiu Chi, she's still completely bewildered! I don't know what Yu-ge is up to. Doesn't he like Qiu Chi? Why is he acting like this now?"
"Wait, wait, Xingyao, you just said that Brother Yu likes Qiu Chi? When did that happen? How come I didn't know?"
Chu Yichen saw the two talking quietly behind his back, so he immediately leaned over and overheard Puyang Minghui saying that Ji Moyu liked Chu Qiuchi.
He quickly replied, "What? Brother Yu actually likes my sister? When did this happen? I didn't know either, Xingyao, tell me more."
So, Nalan Xingyao quietly recounted some of Ji Moyu's strange reactions after the last competition with Ao Nanxi and the others.
"So, this bastard really does like me, right?" Chu Qiuchi's sudden question startled the three people who were happily gossiping.
Puyang Minghui turned her head, awkwardly scratched her hands, and put on a stiff smile. "Hehe, Qiu Chi, when did you get here?"
Chu Qiuchi patted her shoulder, looking completely at ease: "I arrived just as you were analyzing his psychological state, and I think your analysis is very insightful."
Then, she looked at Nalan Xingyao, her eyes shining with excitement, "Xingyao, you are really amazing. You discovered the clues so early. It's so unfair of you not to tell me."
Chu Yichen nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xingyao. You didn't say anything and just secretly ate the gossip. That's not very kind of you."
Nalan Xingyao shrugged, looking completely innocent. "I'm not sure either, so I definitely can't just say anything. It would be too embarrassing if I guessed wrong."
"I think it's highly likely!" Chu Qiuchi said shamelessly. "After all, if someone as outstanding as me doesn't even make him interested, then he probably likes men."
Puyang Minghui choked for a moment before weakly speaking, "Qiu Chi, how can you say such shameless things so seriously without blushing or skipping a beat?"
