Chapter 267: Motive
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing Meng Chuyuan so obsessed, Lu Qingye suddenly regretted agreeing to come skiing with her.
Skiing itself was a high-risk sport. Moreover, it was their first time doing it, so they were inexperienced. Therefore, Lu Qingye paid more attention to safety on this endless snowy path. Meng Chuyuan asked, “Are you alright from the fall?”
He said indifferently, “I’m fine.”
The slope of the jumping platform was not high. His speed was considered slow just now. The moment he fell was a little sudden, but he was not injured. Meng Chuyuan glanced at him, ready to slide down at any time. “Then let’s continue?”
In order to continue playing happily, Meng Chuyuan never left Lu Qingye’s line of sight. The two of them glided at a constant speed, one in front and one behind.
Throughout the entire time, Meng Chuyuan fell twice on the snowy path.
When she turned the corner, she did not want to bump into anyone and fell. Another time, she went down the slope too quickly and did not stop the snowboard well.
Removing his heavy ski gear, Lu Qingye deliberately squatted down and gently pressed on Meng Chuyuan’s joints to determine if she was injured.
At this moment, Meng Chuyuan was sitting on a chair. Lu Qingye pinched her ankles and calves. He looked up at her and asked softly, “Does it hurt?”
Meng Chuyuan shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt.”
When skiing, they all wore knee pads, but these could only reduce the impact of the fall. Therefore, Lu Qingye was worried and had to check for himself before he could be at ease.
Meng Chuyuan felt that such an examination was unnecessary. She opened her mouth to ask Lu Qingye to stop, but at this moment, the phone in her bag suddenly vibrated, instantly diverting her attention.
She looked down at Lu Qingye and took out her phone from her bag. Meng Chuyuan said, “Let me take this call.”
Seeing that this call was from Lu Qianling, Meng Chuyuan’s expression revealed a trace of doubt. She even thought about it carefully and wondered if she had forgotten to send Lu Qianling this week’s money.
After a while, Meng Chuyuan answered the call.
“It’s so late. Why are you looking for me?” She did not forget about the time difference, so she was puzzled by Lu Qianling’s call. Lu Qianling sighed. “I want to ask you something.”
“Tell me.”
“It’s just that I want to change seats now. The teacher asked me to discuss it with the other students first. I heard from her that… if the other students are unwilling to change seats with me, she won’t arrange it for me.”
Just now, after the evening self-study class, when she made a request to the teacher, some students stayed in the classroom to watch the show. Lu Qianling also asked in front of those students if anyone wanted to change seats, but everyone pretended not to hear her.
If she couldn’t find a classmate to swap seats with, she would have to continue sitting with Liu Xiaomeng. This was worse than taking her life.
“Hmm… Why do you suddenly want to change seats?” Although Meng Chuyuan did not know what had happened to her in school, judging from wanting to change seats, she could guess that something must have happened.
Lu Qianling hesitated for a moment and finally decided to tell Meng Chuyuan about her and Liu Xiaomeng’s story.
She was very calm during the confession process and did not have any other negative emotions.
After Meng Chuyuan heard about the two of them, she frowned slightly and asked curiously, “Then what do you think her motive is?”
Lu Qianling was silent for a long time before she said calmly, “…I don’t know.”
At that time, when the two of them were eating in the canteen, Liu Xiaomeng actually wanted to explain her actions to her after confessing, but Lu Qianling was unwilling to listen.
At that time, she was in a mess and was very afraid of hearing the truth that she was unwilling to accept..
