Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 949 - 948: Dizzy and Disoriented

Under Chu Ge's anxious and burning gaze, He Qing casually and slowly curled her lips, "Do you want to know?"He Qing was doing it on purpose, of course. She rarely had the chance to tease Chu Ge, to see him all anxious and flustered. How could she not cherish this opportunity?

Sure enough, just as He Qing was feeling amused in her heart, Chu Ge rolled his eyes at her and squeezed out two words through his teeth, "Sis, isn't it obvious that's a dumb question? If you were me, wouldn't you want to know?"

He Qing gathered a lock of hair hanging by her ear and smiled slightly, "I'm not you, how would I know if you truly want to know or not? Am I right? So... are you sure you really want to know?"

Chu Ge tilted his head back, taking a long, deep breath, "I do. If you don't tell me, I might just strangle you."

He Qing clearly didn't take Chu Ge's "threat" seriously, smiling as she pinched her chin, stood up from the edge of the bed, and leisurely walked over to a chair beside her. She turned her head and spoke evasively, "You don't have a problem changing the sheets and duvet covers by yourself, do you?"

Without a word, Chu Ge went into full gear, putting on the new bedding efficiently.

"By the way, I just talked with Qin Ruojing for a while, now I'm not thirsty at all."

Chu Ge's lips trembled slightly, and in less than thirty seconds, he returned with a paper cup filled with mineral water in front of He Qing.

"This paper cup... is the quality alright? If there's fluorescent bleach in the materials, it can be really harmful to the body. And the inside of the cup has a layer of wax material, if..."

Chu Ge took another deep breath, left with the paper cup immediately, and soon returned with a glass filled with water.

"Hehe, thanks for your effort." He Qing smiled elegantly, but still didn't take the cup, "Have you guys used this glass before?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee this cup hasn't been used. I bought it before and it's always been in the cabinet."

"Oh, I see." He Qing's lips twisted a little more into a smirk, "Then... it probably hasn't been washed, has it?"

Not only did Chu Ge's eyelids twitch, but his temples throbbed too. He thought to himself, oh my temper, will you never stop?

Despite his frustration, in order to know what they discussed, Chu Ge still went out, scalded the cup with boiling water, wiped it dry with a tissue, refilled it at the water dispenser, and handed it over to He Qing.

"Hmm, that's more like it, but..."

Before He Qing could finish, Chu Ge interrupted her with exasperation, "Sis, can you just stop with the endless teasing? After you drink this water, do I need to give you a bedtime massage too?"

"Hmm? We really are in tune, how did you know that's what I wanted?"

Seeing He Qing's serious face, Chu Ge was about to explode, finally unable to help himself from glaring at her and angrily placing the cup on the table beside He Qing, "If you keep messing with me, I won't be so polite."

He Qing chuckled, took the cup, and leisurely sipped some water, "If you're asking for help, you should have the right attitude. Besides, you're staying here tonight entirely thanks to me, shouldn't you be a bit grateful?"

Seeing Chu Ge's awkward and silent demeanor, He Qing wasn't anxious at all, maintaining a calm and unhurried demeanor as if nothing could disturb her.

"Come, give me a shoulder massage." He Qing beckoned to Chu Ge with a finger, waited two seconds, and then laughed, "Not going to do it? Well, the opportunity is yours to give up."

Chu Ge sighed, reluctantly grunted, walked behind He Qing, and placed his hands on her shoulders, massaging them.

"Massaging away, the Empress has decreed, how dare I not obey? How's the pressure for you?"

He Qing paid no mind to Chu Ge's sarcasm, lazily leaned back in her seat, looking quite content, "That's how it should be, yes, this pressure is just right."

As Chu Ge massaged her shoulders, he wasn't sure if He Qing was relaxing, but he, for some reason, was slowly feeling more relaxed.

Involuntarily, Chu Ge felt a little contempt for himself. He was clearly the one being put upon, clearly making a compromise just to hear about what he wanted to know from He Qing. And yet, he somehow relaxed? How absurd!

There was nothing he could do; He Qing exuded a unique charm that was so powerful.

After a few minutes of massaging, He Qing chuckled and tossed out a question.

"Chu Ge, you're probably quite impatient now, aren't you?"

Chu Ge grunted unhappily, "No, I'm thrilled. Getting to massage the prettiest girl in China and maybe even taking advantage a bit, how lucky am I? So many guys would kill for this, right?"

"Alright, stop for now." He Qing lifted a hand and gently patted Chu Ge's hand.

Chu Ge perked up, finally thinking that maybe He Qing was going to tell him what she and Qin Ruojing had been discussing.

On the other hand, Chu Ge was again feeling a little disgusted with himself; he almost didn't want to stop, and his previously relaxed mood tensed up again.

The words he said just before, they were kind of half true and half false, both a jab at He Qing and also at himself.

He Qing got up from the chair and smiled at Chu Ge, "Come, sit down here, let's have a talk."

Chu Ge sat down as instructed, and He Qing sat on the edge of the bed opposite him. Although her posture and smile were no different from before, Chu Ge just had a feeling that the atmosphere between them seemed a bit different from earlier.

If he had to choose a word to describe it, perhaps... it was an appraisal, He Qing's appraisal of him.

"Chu Ge, that sentence you just said, it wasn't entirely against your will, was it?"

Chu Ge didn't expect He Qing to suddenly say something like that. He felt awkward inside but rolled his eyes on the surface, "What are you talking about? You've been messing with me for half a day, shouldn't we get to the main topic by now?"

He Qing looked directly into Chu Ge's eyes, "What I'm talking about now is the main topic."

Chu Ge was speechless, "Hey, could you please stop messing with me? What exactly did you and Qin Ruojing talk about? Just tell me straight."

He Qing shook her head, "To be honest with you, from the beginning, I didn't plan on telling you, at least not right now."

Chu Ge's expression darkened, even though he and He Qing had a very good relationship, his anger flared up almost instantly.

So all his efforts—changing bedsheets, pouring water, washing cups, giving massages—were for nothing?

After all this time, He Qing was just messing with him?

"Angry? Hmm, you look quite attractive when you're angry. Not many show me this expression." He Qing smiled, unhurried and calm.

"He Qing, you've gone too far." Chu Ge stood up from the chair.

He felt that staying here was a waste of time. He might as well go look for Qin Ruojing. If he couldn't open the door, he could always sleep in the other bedroom, or even the sofa, which was much better than being made a fool of by He Qing.

"Chu Ge, it's a bit early for you to be angry."

"Early? Too early?" Chu Ge paused mid-step, glanced back at He Qing who still had a smile on her face, feeling more frustrated.

"Of course." He Qing shrugged, "Because what I'm about to say is far more important than what I and Qin Ruojing talked about."

"Bang"

Chu Ge's response was to walk out of the bedroom and close the door behind him.

Was he really angry?

He Qing smiled and shook her head, fine, let him stay angry if he wants to, there's always tomorrow, no need to rush.

With these thoughts, He Qing lazily stretched, lifted her hand, and unbuttoned the first button of her shirt beneath her neck, preparing for sleep.

Just as He Qing was about to unbutton the second button, the door suddenly swung open without warning, and Chu Ge stormed back in.

"He Qing, I say you..."

Chu Ge stopped mid-sentence, paused awkwardly for two seconds, and immediately turned around. Luckily, he didn't see anything he shouldn't have.

"Chu Ge, it's not a good habit to enter a girl's room without knocking, you know?"

He Qing's voice came from behind him. Chu Ge wanted to retort, "How was I supposed to know you'd start undressing so quickly? Besides, you just unbuttoned one button, I didn't see anything, okay?"

Although that was what Chu Ge thought in his heart, when he opened his mouth, he obediently apologized, "Uh... sorry."

He had no choice; He Qing's earlier words had really piqued his curiosity. Even though there was a possibility of being played again, he genuinely wanted to hear what He Qing considered "more important than her conversation with Qin Ruojing."

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, go close the door. Otherwise, if your wife sees, you wouldn't be able to explain it no matter what you say, right? You don't want that to happen, do you?"

Chu Ge did as he was told, took a few steps forward, and closed the door.

His mind was a mess, and it didn't occur to him that he and He Qing were just talking here. What would Qin Ruojing have to see? Closing the door just made it more suspicious, didn't it?

"Alright, turn around,"

Chu Ge let out a sigh, and as he turned around, he was once again left bewildered by He Qing.

In his view, He Qing was comfortably lying on the bed, chin resting on her crossed hands, with a thin blanket covering her and looking sideways at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge blinked blankly, not knowing how many times tonight he was left wondering.

My god, what exactly is He Qing trying to do?
