96 Ambiguous Feelings
Qiao Yue felt like a herd of alpacas was running in her head. To think Qiao Jing was still brooding over her score of 60.
“Brother,” Qiao Yue called out in dissatisfaction, and the strength of her hand increased.
Qiao Jing raised his head and stretched out his hand to stop her frenzied actions, “It’s no use even if you call me like that. Go back to class.”
Qiao Yue’s wrist was caught and she looked down at Qiao Jing. She could see her figure in his eyes.
Her gaze moved from Qiao Jing’s eyes to the bridge of his nose, and then down to his thin and slightly red lips.
She still remembered the accidental touch that day. His soft and warm lips had become moist because of the wine, and his hot breath had landed on her face, the emotions in the air unusually ambiguous.
Suddenly, Qiao Jing’s hand moved to Qiao Yue’s neck and rubbed the bandage on her neck.
As Qiao Jing’s hand slowly moved up, Qiao Yue seemed to be able to hear her heart beating as she subconsciously moved her head down.
The distance between the two of them grew closer as if they could feel each other’s breathing.
Just as the distance between the two of them was only a millimeter apart, Qiao Yue suddenly came back to her senses and called out “brother” in an unstable tone.
Qiao Jing was jolted awake by her voice. He seemed to be stunned for a second before he quickly retracted his hand.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Yue stammered, “I, I’ll go back first.”
Qiao Jing nodded and did not say anything else.
The door closed and Qiao Yue heaved a sigh of relief. Her heart was also slowly recovering. Turning back to look at Qiao Jing’s door, she couldn’t help but sigh that beauty delayed serious matters.
Early the next morning, Qiao Xuan’s assistant knocked on Qiao Yue’s door, saying that since everyone was free, they wanted to have a meal together before visiting their grandfather.
After Qiao Yue washed up, everyone was already in the dining room. Of course, this did not include the First Madam and the others. Only Qiao Xuan, Qiao Ze, and the others were there.
Qiao Ying was the first to notice Qiao Yue. She greeted her with a sweet smile, ” Good morning, fifth brother.”
Qiao Yue also returned a smile, “Morning, Qiao Ying.”
Of course, Qiao Xin had also heard Qiao Ying’s words. After all, the two had been chatting just now. However, this time, Qiao Xin didn’t cause trouble for Qiao Yue as soon as she saw him. Instead, she silently turned her head and treated Qiao Yue as air.
Qiao Xuan and Qiao Ze were chatting, Qiao Yu was sitting at the side playing games, and Qiao Jing was typing on the computer as if dealing with work. When he heard Qiao Ying’s words, his body stiffened but he did not look up at Qiao Yue.
“Xiao Yue, you’re here. Have a seat,” Qiao Xuan smiled at Qiao Yue as he patted the seat beside him.
The seat was between Qiao Xuan and Qiao Jing, and on the other side of Qiao Xuan were Qiao Ze, Qiao Yu, Qiao Xin, and Qiao Ying respectively. According to Qiao Xuan, he had intentionally arranged for a small private room so that it would be convenient for everyone to talk.
Qiao Yue looked around and had to admit that the Qiao family’s genes were really good. They were all handsome men and beautiful women.
Since Qiao Xuan had not returned home in a long time, he asked about many things that had happened at home recently.
The most recent events were none other than Qiao Yue’s return home. Qiao Ze, in particular, couldn’t wait to talk about Qiao Yue’s “great achievements” all the time, such as fighting the snow wolf, skipping class, and making Qiao Jing lose his composure. Qiao Yue simply wanted to knock him out with a club.
She could see Qiao Xin’s venomous expression when Qiao Ze said she had single-handedly fought the snow wolf. She could also see Qiao Jing’s gloomy gaze at Qiao Ze when the latter said that the former had lost his composure because of her. She simply mourned for Qiao Ze for a second.
Qiao Xuan found it interesting and excitedly asked Qiao Ze to continue.
“Big brother, you don’t even know! I was still sleeping that day when Qiao Jing called to ask me if Xiao Yue was with me. Since I’ve not been around for such a long time, how could Xiao Yue have come to find me?”
Hearing Qiao Ze’s words, Qiao Xuan looked at Qiao Jing in surprise.
Qiao Jing frowned, “Don’t listen to him. I was just asking.”
Qiao Xuan chuckled and said to Qiao Yue, ” Xiao Yue, it seems that Xiao Jing likes you.
As soon as she said this, not only Qiao Yue, but Qiao Jing’s body also stiffened. The two of them thought of the scene last night at the same time.
During the meal, everyone else had a good meal, except for the two of them who felt like they were chewing on wax. Fortunately, when they arrived at the hospital, Qiao Yue no longer thought about last night’s mess.
She had heard from Ying Lu that the Old Master’s body was relatively weak, so they could use diet therapy to reduce the dosage and achieve the effect of conditioning the body.
