Chapter 221

Midway through the movie, Wen Shu couldn’t help but start a conversation, discussing the plot.

“That scene wasn’t right. The military is very strict. With tactics like the protagonist’s, he couldn’t have infiltrated. He’d be within the range of various weapons as soon as he stepped in and could easily get shot.”

Qingqing, who had been moved by the romantic storyline, was taken aback, “Is that so?”

“Yes, and the process of disassembling the gun was also incorrect.” Wen Shu began explaining various weapons, pointing out the movie’s inaccuracies. A touching love film suddenly seemed riddled with flaws under his commentary, and Qingqing found himself completely detached from the emotions of the story.

However, instead of being upset, Qingqing found his explanations interesting, even if he didn’t fully understand them.

For the remainder of the film, the two engaged in quiet conversation. The movie’s sound covered their voices, so they didn’t disturb others.

After the movie, Qingqing received a message from Yu, saying that Ye Zhi had come to help at the store, so he could spend more time with Wen Shu without rushing back.

Qingqing knew his parents were creating an opportunity for him.

Apparently, they had also noticed his feelings.

Wen Shu also received a call. They exchanged glances, and Wen Shu smiled first. “We have a lot of free time now. Where would you like to go? I can accompany you anywhere. If you’re not familiar with the area, I can show you around.”

Qingqing said, “Let’s just browse the mall. I can buy some clothes for Lele since the weather is getting hotter. I also need to get her a pair of sandals.”

The mall was right below the cinema. It wasn’t particularly expensive but, compared to the prices in Heitu Town, it was quite high. Qingqing shopped cautiously, avoiding the luxury brand stores he used to frequent and only entering those with discounts and promotions. He picked clothes and shoes for his parents and bought two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for his sister, ending his shopping spree there.

Wen Shu carried the bags for him and asked, “Aren’t you buying anything for yourself?”

“I have plenty of clothes,” Qingqing replied, not daring to even glance at the brand stores he used to frequent, quickly walking ahead. Wen Shu found this odd and was about to call out to him when another voice interrupted, “Qingqing!”

Qingqing trembled at the sound, nearly stumbling. Wen Shu quickly caught him, just as the person speaking reached them.

It was Cheng Yanzhou. Wen Shu didn’t recognize him, but Qingqing knew immediately from the voice.

Cheng Yanzhou was slightly out of breath. He had been shopping with his partner when he spotted Qingqing. Without thinking, he chased after him. Now, seeing it was really Qingqing, he felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia.

Even though Qingqing was kept, there was no chance of marriage. But Qingqing was beautiful, obedient, and brought him a lot of pleasure. Cheng Yanzhou had tried various ways to find him and keep him as a secret lover again.

He believed that with more money and some sweet talk, Qingqing would agree, given his personality.

“When did you return to the central city? Why didn’t you come to see me?” Cheng Yanzhou’s gaze shifted to Wen Shu and then to their entwined bodies, his brow furrowing in displeasure.

Since Cheng Yanzhou appeared, Qingqing’s face had turned pale, his body tense. Wen Shu, still holding him to prevent a fall, easily noticed his reaction.

Their past relationship was not simple.

That thought suddenly sprang up in Wen Shu’s mind.

Qingqing, looking down in silence, angered Cheng Yanzhou. The excitement in his heart faded, replaced by a sneer. “What? Found someone new so quickly?” His eyes scrutinized Wen Shu from head to toe.

He had a good height and build, decent looks, but his clothes weren’t high-end custom-made, his watch was a regular mechanical one, and his shoes were plain. His whole outfit probably wasn’t worth as much as one of Cheng Yanzhou’s belts. He glanced at the bags Wen Shu was holding, none from luxury stores, just cheap items.

Cheng Yanzhou smirked with a victorious air. “Didn’t want to be kept by me but found a poor guy instead? Can’t even buy you any luxury items, Qingqing. Is this the life you want?”
