Su Qing’s perceptive instincts brought a pleased twinkle to Zhou Hengguang’s eyes.

He admired intelligent girls who could discern emotions with just a glance.

“I just don’t want you to see me in a sorry state. It will make me feel embarra.s.sed,” Zhou Hengguang explained, lowering his eyes slightly. His thick eyelashes cast a small shadow on his eyelids, and against the backdrop of the metal frame, a dazzling light emanated.

With their proximity making Su Qing inexplicably nervous, she instinctively swung her hand, freeing herself from Zhou Hengguang’s grip, and took a step back.

“Why would you be embarra.s.sed looking like this? Right now, you seem like you’re from a different world than me,” she remarked.

Zhou Hengguang lightly tapped his empty palm, appearing disappointed and bitter. “No, I’m now…” Zhou Hengguang sighed.” You’ve misunderstood. It’s not like that. I’m not well-off. How could I afford such an expensive place? I rented these clothes, and renting them for a day cost me half a month’s salary. I didn’t want this to happen.”

“Is this place very expensive?” Su Qing was taken aback. The opulent decorations had caught her eye when she entered, and she was worried about the costs. However, she refrained from expressing her concerns, heeding her big sister’s advice to adapt to her new environment. Zhou Hengguang’s words now heightened her apprehension.

“What happened? Tell me! See if I can help you,” she insisted.

“It’s nothing. I don’t need your help,” Zhou Hengguang declined with a pained expression.” Thank you, Su Qing. Anyway, you have to believe me. I’m still the same person as when I was young. I haven’t changed.” Feeling the urgency to leave quickly, he continued, “I can’t stay here any longer. It would be troublesome if others saw me.”

Only Su Qing and Su Xiu in the Su family were unaware of his ident.i.ty. Others would recognize him, and that could complicate matters.

“You… I’m even more worried when you say that,” Su Qing expressed concern.

She pondered his words, feeling a twinge of guilt for not knowing what Lin Weiguo was like during his studies. Yet, she refrained from voicing her thoughts, afraid it might sadden him further.

“Hurry up and look for your family. I still have something to do today, so I won’t disturb you. I’ll buy a gift and pay a formal visit to your house another day.”

“There’s no need to buy a gift. You’ve already given me a gift last time. Our family doesn’t need a gift,” Su Qing insisted, concerned about his financial situation.

“You feel sorry for me?” Zhou Hengguang teased, laughing.

Su Qing blushed and denied,” No, I didn’t! Are you alright?”

“Yes, I have to rush back to the factory now. I’ll look for you next time,” Zhou Hengguang said, gazing at Su Qing with an audacious look that made her uncomfortable.

“Alright, you should leave quickly!”

He was getting bolder and bolder.

“Okay! I’ll be leaving then.” Zhou Hengguang walked three steps away and suddenly turned back. He grabbed Su Qing’s hand.” Where do you live? Can I come and find you during my lunchtime tomorrow?”

“Hmm yes, you can.” Su Qing, deciding not to be too petty since she had moved to the Province, shared her current address.

Zhou Hengguang, already aware of it, found it amusing to tease this little girl.

As he was about to speak, steady footsteps neared. Zhou Hengguang frowned slightly, listening carefully to his eldest brother’s and Ji Fang’s voices.

The sounds approached.

Without hesitation, Zhou Hengguang pulled Su Qing into an empty private room and closed the door..
