Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 948 - 947: All Because of the Duvet Cover

Chu Ge stood dumbfounded at the door, watching He Qing brush past him toward the bathroom. He then turned to look at Qin Ruojing, who was rummaging through the cabinet for a set of beddings."Come over and help me."

Qin Ruojing's voice carried over. Chu Ge, still pondering where he would be staying tonight, only vaguely caught that Qin Ruojing had said something but didn't hear clearly what it was.

Actually, Chu Ge had pretty good hearing; it was just that his mind was a complete mess at the moment, as chaotic as could be. So even if he heard Qin Ruojing's voice, he doubted his ears.

Chu Ge blinked a few times, then finally looked over at Qin Ruojing, dumbfounded, and asked, "What?"

"I said, come help me."

Qin Ruojing took out a clean set of bed sheets, duvet cover, and pillowcase sets from the cabinet, hugged them to her chest, and walked straight toward him.

This time, Chu Ge heard it clearly. However, he was still in a state of utter confusion and instinctively raised his finger to point at himself, "Me... me?"

Qin Ruojing didn't say a word, walked past Chu Ge, and turned to enter the room where Qin Ruoying used to stay.

Seeing Qin Ruojing's silhouette, Chu Ge silently cursed himself a "fool." He Qing had already gone to the bathroom to freshen up. If Qin Ruojing wasn't calling him, was she calling a ghost? What kind of brain-dead question was he asking? Was he really that slow-witted?

Looking down on himself a bit, Chu Ge's heart surged with excitement. Could it be that during those two hours just now, He Qing said something on his behalf that made Qin Ruojing change her mind? That she's not that mad at him anymore?

Given the current situation, this seemed quite likely! It seemed that getting to know He Qing wasn't for nothing; she was indeed very reliable at a critical moment!

With a heart full of excitement, Chu Ge dashed into Qin Ruoying's room in a few quick steps and snatched the items from Qin Ruojing's hands, "You want this set to be changed, right? I got it. It's such a small task; I can handle it by myself. Honey, you should rest. It wouldn't be good if you got tired."

Qin Ruojing maintained a stern face as she glanced at Chu Ge, said nothing, and turned to leave Qin Ruoying's room.

After watching Qin Ruojing's silhouette disappear, Chu Ge turned his gaze back to the bedding set in his hand, scratching his head with a wry smile. What had gotten into him today? His intelligence seemed to have plummeted!

Wouldn't it be better if the two of them did it together? Why did he have to say something like that? Such a display of being thick-skinned.

It's said that women in love have an IQ of approximately zero. But in my case, my IQ might have dropped to negative numbers, right? How could such a good opportunity be missed?

Standing by the bedside with an embarrassed smile, Chu Ge placed the set on the bed and was about to change the sheets when his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked out of the room.

No matter what he said about being able to handle it alone, he could always change his mind and ask Qin Ruojing to come back and help, right?

Seriously... He needed to have a word with his intelligence!

Thinking about this, Chu Ge cheerfully went to the doorway of Qin Ruojing's room, scratching his head sheepishly on the surface, "Wifey, I realized I've overestimated myself. Changing the duvet cover really takes two people. I admit, I was bragging earlier; it's really hard to do alone. Can you lend a hand?"

Qin Ruojing didn't respond, preoccupying herself with tidying the slightly messy cabinet, as if she hadn't heard his voice at all.

Chu Ge said another sentence, and only then did Qin Ruojing coolly respond, "Are there things in this world you can't handle?"

"Of course there are! Absolutely! I'm not Superman, and even Superman can't do everything. For example, I can't have a baby, right?"

Chu Ge grinned. As long as Qin Ruojing responded to him, that was enough, so he just went along with whatever she said.

Qin Ruojing's expression looked a bit strange, with her cheeks twitching slightly, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

Chu Ge felt quite encouraged. If he could make Qin Ruojing laugh, that would be a huge success!

Qin Ruojing noticeably adjusted her expression, reverting to that indifferent look again, "When He Qing finishes washing up, let her help you."

Chu Ge immediately shook his head dismissively, "Her? Oh dear, my wifey, you're overestimating her. With her clumsy hands, how could she handle this? Getting her to help would just cause more trouble."

Qin Ruojing finally turned her head, showing the smile that Chu Ge had been hoping for, "Are you saying I'm deft and skillful?"

Chu Ge nodded vigorously, thrilled beyond words, "Of course, you're a hundred times more skillful than He Qing!"

Oh my goodness, he finally got Qin Ruojing to smile, this is fantastic!

Maybe... if he talks to Qin Ruojing properly tonight, all those past misunderstandings will be entirely resolved? Then they could do some couple things, have some in-depth communication or so. Just thinking about it made him a bit excited.

In delightful thoughts, Chu Ge didn't notice that Qin Ruojing's smile held some other meaning, nor did he realize that he had committed a very big error, one he would never make under normal circumstances.

Promptly, Qin Ruojing asked with a slight smile, "Have you... ever changed a duvet cover with He Qing?"

Upon hearing this question, Chu Ge was dumbfounded, his eyes and mouth twitching together.

"It's not... that... I'm just..."

Just as Chu Ge was about to explain, He Qing stepped out of the bathroom, "Chu Ge, did you call me?"

"I didn't call you."

"Yes, he called you."

Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing said simultaneously.

He Qing looked at Chu Ge, then at Qin Ruojing, "Huh?"

Qin Ruojing smiled faintly, "Chu Ge wants you to help him cover the quilt, you two take your time, I'll go wash up."

With that, Qin Ruojing walked toward the bathroom. Chu Ge raised his hand, about to explain something further, when He Qing smiled at her and said, "Did you say something bad about me just now? I think I heard 'clumsy' or something?"

While she spoke, Qin Ruojing had already entered the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

Chu Ge was speechless, let his right hand drop, and listlessly turned and walked into Qin Ruoying's bedroom. He thought, forget it, I won't explain now, I should take advantage of Qin Ruojing's time in the bathroom to properly ask He Qing what's really going on here.

Plopping down onto the bed, Chu Ge took off the original pillowcase and put on a new one, asking, "He Qing, what did you say to Qin Ruojing? How did she let you stay over here for the night?"

He Qing pinched her chin, "Well, this..."

"Sister, would you dare to stop being so cryptic?"

"I guess it's possible," He Qing chuckled as she removed the previous bed sheet, "but first you have to tell me what you were talking about. It seemed like your wife wasn't very happy with you just now."

"It's nothing much, just that..."

Chu Ge rubbed his forehead, and with a bitter smile, recounted what happened just now. After hearing it, He Qing broke into laughter, first bending over, then clutching her stomach, and finally collapsing onto the bed, left hand holding her belly while her right kept slapping the bed.

"Sister, are you heartless? I'm like this, and you're still this happy? Qin Ruojing and I were planning to go back to Beijing for our wedding at the end of the month, and there aren't many days left. At such a critical moment, for the sake of my lifelong happiness, can you have a bit of compassion?"

Chu Ge tapped the pillow, now with its new case, on He Qing's head, "Alright~ Stop, laughing, now."

"Alright, alright, not laughing, I'm not laughing... hahaha..." After the hit on the head, He Qing sat up straight. Although she said she wouldn't laugh, she couldn't help it when she saw Chu Ge's melon-bitter, scrunched-up face.

"Come on, my dear, keep your voice down. Don't let my wife hear, and I'm begging you, alright? How did I not notice before that you enjoy schadenfreude this much? My gosh, how did I choose my friends so poorly?"

Chu Ge's eye twitched as he made a "shush" gesture to He Qing, but it didn't work at all.

Feeling a bit exasperated, he slightly leaned in and glared at her, "Is it really that funny?"

Faced with Chu Ge's glare, He Qing finally stopped laughing.

"Looks like you two indeed don't need my help."

An unexpected voice came from the doorway. Chu Ge whipped around to see the side of Qin Ruojing's face before she turned away, showing her back, and then shut the bedroom door.

Chu Ge was frozen for a split second, quickly explaining, "No, honey, wait, about that..."

Chu Ge darted out, but unfortunately, he didn't catch up to Qin Ruojing. Just one step away, she had already returned to her room and closed the door, leaving a "bang" in Chu Ge's ears.

"I..."

Chu Ge wanted to explain. He opened his mouth but stopped himself and didn't reach out further to that door.

What does "one wave hasn't settled before another rises" mean? Clearly, this was it. The previous issue hadn't been cleared up yet, and now there's this new problem. Whatever he says, Qin Ruojing probably won't listen, right?

Forget it, let's wait a bit longer and talk. For now, the most important thing is to ask He Qing what's going on.

Scratching his head, Chu Ge's gaze lingered on the closed door for a few seconds before returning to the room where He Qing was. The moment he entered, he saw He Qing still had a sly, gloating smile. If horns popped up on her head, she'd definitely look like a little demon.

He Qing sat on the edge of the bed, right leg crossed over her left, and smiled, "Not going to explain to your wife? Is that really okay?"

"Isn't it all because of you?" Chu Ge glared at He Qing in frustration, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, tell me, what's going on between you two?"
