Chapter 110 Discovering the Secret
Chapter 110 Discovering the Secret
Back in their tent, Puyang Minghui and Chu Yichen eagerly reenacted for Chu Qiuchi the entire process of Qin Yi being repeatedly stabbed in the back by Ji Moyu. To make the scene more vivid, Chu Yichen played Ji Moyu, while Puyang Minghui took on the role of Qin Yi.
Especially when Chu Yichen imitated Ji Moyu and said, "Um, do you need me to play matchmaker for you and my grandfather?", Chu Qiuchi burst into laughter, even regretting that he hadn't witnessed the scene firsthand.
"Little... Little Fish, you're so talented! Do you know, hahaha... you've ruthlessly hurt the heart of a young girl in the throes of first love!" Chu Qiuchi's laughter was unrestrained, with a touch of exaggerated mockery.
Ji Moyu glanced at her, his expression aloof, and said indifferently, "You are quite the romantic."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Xingyao unconsciously raised her eyebrows and glanced thoughtfully at Ji Moyu.
Chu Qiuchi was slightly taken aback, then smiled smugly and waved to Ji Moyu: "Little Yu'er, you're mistaken. I'm not being sentimental, but rather I have great love in my heart."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yichen, Puyang Minghui, and Nalan Xingyao unsurprisingly rolled their eyes at her. Chu Qiuchi, however, didn't seem to care at all and laughed even more heartily: "You guys are really too disrespectful!"
She turned to Ji Moyu and continued, "Little Fish, have you evolved into a saber-toothed fish now? Every word you utter is a blade! By the way, are you not in a good mood today? Why are you speaking so rudely? Poor Qin Yi, she's really lucky to have caught this opportunity to perfectly experience the power of you, this 'cold-blooded killer'!"
Chu Yichen nodded with a smile: "That's right, Brother Yu, you were really ruthless today! Qin Yi is probably questioning her life after being roasted like that!"
Puyang Minghui asked curiously, "Yeah, Brother Yu, this isn't like you at all. What's wrong with you today? Did something go wrong?"
Nalan Xingyao also looked intently at Ji Moyu, wanting to see how he would answer.
Ji Moyu glanced at Chu Qiuchi silently, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her indifference. "It's nothing, I'm not unhappy."
The group exchanged glances, and a subtle silence fell over the tent.
Chu Qiuchi stepped forward, carefully examining Ji Moyu. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes: "Little Yu'er, something's wrong with you. Something's definitely wrong!"
After she stopped, she suddenly put an arm around Ji Moyu's shoulder, her tone gentle and concerned, "Little Yu'er, if you're unhappy about something, just say it. We'll all help you solve your problems. Don't be so formal with us!"
Ji Moyu looked at the arm draped over his shoulder, and suddenly seemed to remember something. A cold glint flashed in his lowered eyes, and after a moment of silence, he coldly uttered a single word.
"you."
After saying that, he nimbly dodged, quickly turned around, and walked to the side without hesitation.
Chu Qiuchi staggered, quickly regaining his balance. His face showed surprise as he pointed at himself, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Me? You mean I made you unhappy?"
She lowered her head, her brows furrowed, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed her sleeves as she began to carefully recall her words and actions of the day, trying to figure out exactly what she had done to offend this powerful figure.
A few seconds later, still clueless, she looked up uncertainly, her gaze sweeping blankly over the others: "What did I do today???"
Chu Yichen frowned, trying hard to recall, but no matter what, he couldn't find anything wrong. He shook his head slightly, saying with a hint of confusion, "I... I don't see anything wrong with what you did today, sister!"
Puyang Minghui was also searching her memory, trying to figure out what she had done wrong. "It seems like there's nothing wrong, so what exactly is wrong?" she murmured to herself.
Nalan Xingyao remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head and said softly, "I don't know either."
Her gaze shifted from Ji Moyu to Chu Qiuchi, her mind racing with thoughts. Always perceptive and perceptive, she didn't understand why Ji Moyu reacted this way, but she sensed that Ji Moyu today didn't seem as calm as usual.
Seeing that the others also looked confused, Chu Qiuchi finally couldn't help but walk over to Ji Moyu again, gently grabbing his arm. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of innocence, and also a little aggrieved.
"Little Fish, just tell me straight, what did I do wrong? If I really accidentally upset you, just tell me so I know."
At the same time, I silently added in my mind: It's enough to know, anyway, I'm not going to change it!
Then, on second thought, a smile crept into my heart: I never imagined this ice block would develop such a temper! This is truly something to celebrate!
Ji Moyu glanced indifferently at the person whose eyes were darting around in front of him, the coldness in his eyes fading slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashing across them: "Think for yourself."
"Oh dear, Little Fish, why are you like this! I only asked you because I didn't understand!"
Chu Qiuchi pulled on Ji Moyu's arm, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.
Ji Moyu remained unmoved. Thinking about what had happened that afternoon, she felt slightly agitated and finally couldn't help but turn around and say, "You today..."
He was about to say something, but when he saw Chu Qiuchi's bright eyes, the words involuntarily stuck in his throat.
Chu Qiuchi blinked, her face full of confusion, and looked at him eagerly, "What... happened to me today? Please continue!"
His brow furrowed slightly, and he sighed softly, ultimately swallowing back the words that were about to come out. "Never mind, it's nothing, you don't need to worry about it."
Chu Qiuchi was immediately furious and glared at him: "Little Fish, you've gone too far! It's very unethical to only say half of what you mean!"
Seeing her jumping up and down, Ji Moyu's coldness faded, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He said softly, "Then you can think of it yourself."
Nalan Xingyao watched the interaction between the two thoughtfully, and an unbelievable thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that Yu-ge likes Qiu Chi?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, especially after that barely perceptible tenderness in Ji Moyu's eyes. That made sense. The only difference Qiu Chi was today was that she and Liu Yan had chatted particularly happily that afternoon, and their behavior had been slightly more intimate.
Then, recalling Ji Moyu's words about Chu Qiuchi being "passionate," Nalan Xingyao suddenly seemed to grasp something important—those words were indeed a bit sarcastic!
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth up, a strange excitement welling up inside her, as if she had discovered some major secret.
Puyang Minghui noticed Nalan Xingyao's expression, then turned her gaze from her to Ji Moyu and Chu Qiuchi, but after looking at them for a long time, she couldn't figure it out.
She gently nudged Nalan Xingyao, who was staring at the two of them with a doting smile, and asked, "Xingyao, what are you grinning about?"
Nalan Xingyao stopped smiling, glanced meaningfully at Ji Moyu and Chu Qiuchi with a hint of amusement in her eyes, then turned to Puyang Minghui and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just discovered something interesting."
Puyang Minghui raised an eyebrow, clearly curious about her words. "What is it?"
"Haha, I can't say that, I can't say that..."
