Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 303 Gu Juncheng, how could you do something like this!

Lin Qingping did not drink alcohol.

Because she knew she couldn't hold her liquor.

Given the situation today, she couldn't guarantee what might happen after she drank the alcohol.

However, Gu Juncheng did drink it.

He has a high alcohol tolerance, as Lin Qingping has witnessed.

She didn't know his alcohol tolerance limit, but she'd never seen him drunk.

He wouldn't force her to drink if she didn't want to; water or a beverage, he would let her have her way.

Sometimes, what you drink isn't important; all you need is someone to clink glasses with.

For a long time, the courtyard remained quiet, except that the sizzling sound of roasting meat was joined by the sound of pouring wine and the soft clinking of glasses.

Lin Qingping's water glass was there, and sometimes she didn't even pick it up, but he would touch it to hers when he picked up his own. So, he really just needed a prop, and didn't care whether she drank it or not.

After a long silence, the meat was almost all eaten. This is because the mouth has two main functions: speaking and eating. If you don't speak, you'll just be eating.

And his wine was slowly running out.

"That's enough, Gu Juncheng." Although she didn't know his alcohol tolerance limit, she didn't think he had to keep drinking like this. "This is my family's wine, it's expensive!"

He glanced at her. "Can I pay?"

“No, this place is mine too, that’s enough.” She pointed to the messy yard.

He had no intention of opening another bottle in the first place. "Lin Qingping, what are your plans after graduation?"

"I haven't decided yet!" That's the truth.

"Where do you want to go? Go back and open a factory with Mei Li? Or stay in the capital?"

Lin Qingping thought for a moment, "The capital city, I'll go with. It has the best education and medical care, and besides, my house is here, and my sister is here too."

"And you?" she suddenly remembered she should ask him.

"Me?" He smiled.

"Oh, no need to say anything, I understand." He would definitely obey the arrangements. He was an excellent soldier, and it was because of his excellence that he was recommended to study in the capital. After graduating, he would definitely continue to devote himself to his career and realize his ambitions. As for how he would be arranged, that was probably a secret.

"Yes." He nodded. "I can't say."

He downed the last glass of wine in one gulp. "Lin Qingping, I'm sorry."

The wine he drank seemed to flood his eyes, shimmering and shattering into starlight; the "madness" he had displayed that night seemed to crumble along with it, as if that version of him had never existed.

Lin Qingping closed her eyes slightly. "Gu Juncheng, this is the last time I'm sorry. Please don't say it again."

There is always a reason why someone has to say sorry, because something bad has happened.

“Hmm,” Gu Juncheng replied.

Then they started cleaning up the huge mess from the barbecue.

"Just leave it there, I'll do it myself," Lin Qingping said again.

Gu Juncheng didn't answer, but quickly tidied up and cleaned.

He was already an expert at housekeeping, and he worked faster and cleaner than she did. In no time, the messy yard was tidy.

What neither of them saw was that, at a certain moment, Zhiyuan's small figure appeared briefly outside the courtyard gate.

Although Gu Youlian repeatedly assured Zhiyuan that his father wouldn't hit anyone, he was still worried and secretly slipped out to check. Sure enough, he saw his father and mother sitting there eating barbecue and drinking...

Well, only adults understand adult matters...

After Gu Juncheng finished packing his things, he came out and took her hand, saying, "Get some rest. I'll take you inside."

"No need." Lin Qingping stood up. "I can do it myself, it'll just be a bit slower."

“It really works.” He looked her over.

"Really? Didn't I just walk out by myself?" Lin Qingping took two steps to show him.

"Alright, I'm off then." He walked out of the courtyard, then suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Lin Qingping, happy birthday."

"Thank you."

The light shone directly on his face, making it unusually clear for her all night, and also unusual for her to see him so clearly from the front. On his face, where she had slapped him, there were two faint red marks.

The hand she used to slap him involuntarily clenched into a fist, her nails digging into her palm, causing a slight pain.

Those bloodstains on his face were actually scratches from her fingernails?!

He walked out of the courtyard and into the night.

The courtyard, which had been bustling just moments before, was now bathed in moonlight.

All the noise, arguments, and cries faded away with the night.

After the hustle and bustle, isn't it just a long, dark night?

Lin Qingping remained silent, went back into the house, locked the door, and turned around to see the spot where Gu Juncheng had just gnawed on her.

She was really terrified of him back then, but now that she's calmed down, she just can't understand why he suddenly became so irritable, completely unlike himself...

She shook her head, preparing to turn off the light, but suddenly noticed something shining on the ground.

She crouched down and picked it up—a gold necklace.

It landed right where she and Gu Juncheng had just been tangled up.

What fell off him?

She examined the necklace carefully, and suddenly, a thought struck her.

She gripped the necklace tightly in her hand, gritting her teeth and saying hatefully: Gu Juncheng! You bastard! How could you do something like this!

But Gu Juncheng left.

The next day, Lin Qingping was going to school and got up very early, but she didn't meet Gu Juncheng at the school gate.

After a week, her foot had recovered considerably, and she could walk to school on her own without Gu Youlian's help.

She went through the back door and happened to catch Liang Jiaqi, who had just come out of the store yawning.

This guy has never liked staying in the dormitory.

Liang Jiaqi came out of the store, suddenly opened her eyes, and was startled to see Lin Qingping. She immediately smiled apologetically, "Sister, Sister Pingzi! What brings you here?"

Lin Qingping stared at his swollen face and said sarcastically, "I came to bring you some liniment for your bruises!"

Liang Jiaqi: ...

"And another thing, didn't you like me? Now that I've agreed, you need to give me an explanation!"

Liang Jiaqi: ...

Liang Jiaqi was startled and quickly looked around.

He was already quite straightforward and bold, but Lin Qingping was even bolder than him!

"Sister, what's wrong with you..."

"What? Are you teasing your sister?" Lin Qingping said sternly. She knew she had scared her; people these days are still so conservative! How could someone who so bluntly tells someone they like them not be surprising?

"No..." Liang Jiaqi continued with an apologetic smile, "I was at most teasing my brother-in-law, how could I dare to tease you!"

Lin Qingping kept a straight face.

Having no other choice, Liang Jiaqi said, "Sister, to be honest, I like you, I really do, but you don't like me, right? The person you like is your husband!"

"You..." Lin Qingping was speechless.

"Don't deny it, I was just getting impatient seeing you and your brother-in-law going through a tug-of-war! So I tried to goad him and put him in a tough spot, but who knew..." Who knew that instead of putting him in a tough spot, he got himself into trouble. Gu Juncheng thought he was two-timing, and he was going to get a good beating.

Liang Jiaqi touched her face; it still hurts!

He stole a glance at Lin Qingping, "Sis, are you serious? You said yes? If I take it seriously, I'll write to Dad and ask him to prepare to propose marriage, right?"

Lin Qingping glared at him. "What do you think?"

Liang Jiaqi's eyes dimmed. "I know, I know, you only have your brother-in-law in your heart!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, your face will swell up too! Time to go to class!" Lin Qingping slammed her book on his forehead and left.

Liang Jiaqi sighed as he watched her retreating figure, "Why didn't you agree? Even if it's fake, I'd still be willing!"

Gu Juncheng School.

Gu Juncheng returned to his dormitory after finishing morning exercises, and Wu Tianping called out to him loudly as he chased after him.

"Old Gu, I need to tell you something..." Before he could finish, Wu Tianping noticed the red marks on Gu Juncheng's face and exclaimed, "Oh!" "What happened to you? Did your grape trellis collapse?"

Gu Juncheng glanced at him coldly.

Wu Tianping, however, was delighted, a playful expression on his face. "Looks like it's going to be intense!"

"Come here!" Gu Juncheng said coldly.

"What? I'm not coming!" Wu Tianping was rooted to the spot; he'd rather die than go! Last week, when Old Gu returned for the first time, he used him as a punching bag, claiming it was to help him quickly recover his strength! He's asking for it! He's going again!

Gu Juncheng grabbed his shoulder, "Come on! Let's make it more intense!"

Wu Tianping:......

I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?

Wu Tianping shouted as Gu Juncheng dragged him away.

"Has Wu Tianping spoken to you?"

"Yes, I have……"

"How about it?"

"Oh, how long will it be before I see my son, how long will it be before I see Meili? Meili can't come with me. She's never suffered before, and I can't bear to let her suffer with me. Besides, she has her career. She's a modern woman, she has her own half of the sky to hold up!"

Did you say this to Uncle Wu?

"Do you dare? Huh? What about you? If you go, what will happen to Lin Qingping? Your wife and my wife are on the same side."
