Under the night sky, the taxi driven by He Qing's bodyguard glided smoothly. The night was hazy, the moon was hazy, the streetlight's glow was hazy, but He Qing's heart was not hazy at all.
She clearly knew what she wanted to do, but on this peaceful street stripped of its bustle, with the man she had a crush on by her side, she hoped the road would stretch a bit longer. She wanted to savor this serene romance a bit more, to feel Chu Ge's presence a bit longer.
However, every road has an end. Soon, the taxi arrived at Yipin Spring City District. After dropping off He Qing, Chu Ge glanced home to ensure Shu Lulu had left, then returned to Qin Ruojing's house.
Upon entering, he saw Qin Ruojing stepping out of the kitchen, her hands still wet, likely having just washed a pile of dishes. The bedroom door was closed, probably because Qin Ruoying was already resting.
Seeing Qin Ruojing's slightly worn look, Chu Ge burst into laughter, "Made you cook so much, tired yourself washing those dishes huh?"
"As long as He Qing enjoyed the meal, what is washing a few dishes? By the way, while you were taking her home, what were you two talking about? Was she satisfied with my hospitality today?"
Qin Ruojing asked, then went into the bathroom and squeezed a bit of toothpaste onto her toothbrush.
Chu Ge grinned smugly, "Of course she was satisfied, wouldn't you know who cooked the meal."
Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, "How can you say that? He Qing has eaten everything, can one meal make her happy?"
"She's human too. Tasting something delicious naturally makes one happy. What's so strange about that?"
Chu Ge shot back with a playful eye-roll and amusingly spoke, entering the bathroom and beginning to wash up beside Qin Ruojing.
His words were casual, but the listener was attentive. Chu Ge's words, though simple, reminded Qin Ruojing of what Qin Ruoying had just said to her.
Could He Qing really have feelings for Chu Ge? Is that possible? Perhaps… not, right? No, no, not perhaps, definitely not!
After washing up, Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge returned to the bedroom, lay down, and chatted for a while before sleeping as they usually did.
Upon waking, Qin Ruojing did not ask Chu Ge to send her to work. Instead, she left him with the task of accompanying Qin Ruoying, saving her from loneliness and making up for the last time she visited but didn't have much fun.
Not having to work, able to go out justifiably, and not having to pay, such a good deal Chu Ge eagerly accepted.
Chu Ge's current job was indeed quite relaxed, but even with more ease, nothing beats being at home. Even though accompanying Qin Ruoying carried the risk of her exposing the fake relationship between him and Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge was very confident in his acting skills.
When he and Qin Ruojing knew little about each other, Qin Ruoying didn't suspect anything. Now with their growing rapport and understanding, it would be even harder for Qin Ruoying to notice anything.
After breakfast, Chu Ge did some exercises, then received a call from Luo Suyun asking when he'd have time for her to visit and thank him. Chu Ge politely declined, making an excuse to dismiss it.
Past nine o'clock, Qin Ruoying lazily opened her bedroom door. Wearing only a very casual nightdress, she walked out.
Chu Ge had just come back from the restroom, and they caught eyes with each other, feeling rather speechless. He had encountered such a situation back in Kyoto at the Qin Family, and now she wore such casual sleepwear again.
Involuntarily, Chu Ge felt speechless. This Qin Ruoying, why couldn't she be a bit more mindful? If Qin Ruojing saw this, she'd definitely be unhappy with him.
Seeing Chu Ge, Qin Ruoying paused but didn't show particular embarrassment or panic, first awkwardly scratching her head then heading back to her room.
"Oh, brother-in-law, you haven't left yet? I thought you'd gone to work with my sister."
Amidst the rustling of clothing, Qin Ruoying's voice came through from behind the door.
"Your sister asked me to stay and keep you company, didn't she tell you?"
Chu Ge replied, quite speechlessly.
"Uh, did she say that? Maybe she didn't, maybe she did, whatever—I forgot."
In two brief exchanges, Qin Ruoying had already put on a set of loungewear and cheerfully came out to face Chu Ge again.
"Brother-in-law, why are you so good at cooking? What if I become a big chubby because of you?"
Chu Ge rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Come on, what nonsense are you saying? If you're afraid of getting fat, you can eat less, right? You make it sound like I'm deliberately trying to make you gain weight."
Qin Ruoying giggled again, "Brother-in-law, I know you're not doing it intentionally, let's just say it's my fault. By the way, I want to ask you a question, whose waist is slimmer, mine or my sister's?"
Hearing her question, Chu Ge couldn't help feeling a bit troubled. No doubt, she was starting her probing again.
"I really haven't paid much attention to that, but it seems your sister's is a bit thinner."
Qin Ruoying nodded and asked again, "What about our wrists?"
"They're pretty much the same, but if I had to compare, yours is a bit thinner."
"Oh, brother-in-law, what you said is so irresponsible! It's not 'seems', it's 'should be'. Let me ask you one more thing, and you can't dismiss me this time. You have to give me a clear answer: whose right-side canine is bigger, me or my sister?"
Qin Ruoying was satisfied inside, but she put on a frustrated face and continued to ask.
The first two questions from Qin Ruoying had already left Chu Ge speechless, and then this third question completely baffled him. He thought to himself, what's Qin Ruoying up to, asking whatever comes to mind?
Chu Ge rolled his eyes at Qin Ruoying, "I say, Xiaoying, this isn't the kind of question a sister-in-law should ask a brother-in-law, right?"
Qin Ruoying, however, said confidently, "It's just us two at home, no outsiders, so what's the big deal? Just tell me."
The reason Qin Ruoying asked this was to test Chu Ge and see how well he knew her sister's body.
Just hearing they hadn't slept together last time already seemed weird to her. If Chu Ge hesitated in answering these kinds of questions, then their relationship would naturally be even more suspicious.
Luckily, regarding the waist and wrist questions, Chu Ge's answers were correct. The sisters indeed have subtle differences that aren't noticeable with clothes on, and even if undressed, they're hard to spot without close inspection.
If Chu Ge could also give an accurate answer concerning the subtle detail of their canines, Qin Ruoying would be quite satisfied with this test.
Seeing Qin Ruoying's expectant expression, Chu Ge shook his head decisively, "It's not about there being no outsiders; it's really inappropriate for us to discuss this. Do you think I, as your brother-in-law, frequently stare inside your mouth? If I did, I'd be disrespecting your sister and you sisters."
Seeing Chu Ge speak so righteously, Qin Ruoying was slightly surprised by the unexpected answer, but she felt more satisfaction than regret.
Qin Ruoying giggled, "Okay, okay, brother-in-law, you're right. But you don't have to be that serious, right? Fine, I shouldn't have asked that; let's focus on where to hang out later."
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, if I didn't act seriously, how could I have convinced you?
In fact, since Qin Ruoying started asking questions, Chu Ge had guessed her intention to test him, and as she asked the second and third questions, he became increasingly sure of his suspicions.
Chu Ge could give Qin Ruoying accurate answers to the first two questions partly by observing and partly due to luck.
But when faced with Qin Ruoying's final question, Chu Ge truly had no idea.
The Qin sisters' teeth look quite similar, and he couldn't really say who has the bigger canine.
Fortunately, after he diverted the topic with righteous words, Qin Ruoying went to have breakfast and then returned to the sofa in the living room, idly swinging her slippered feet, pondering where to go for fun.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Ruoying still couldn't decide on what to do, and she was consulting Chu Ge when his phone suddenly rang.
After picking up the phone, he saw it was He Qing calling, so Chu Ge signaled Qin Ruoying to wait a moment and answered the call.
"Chu Ge, I have something to do today. Can you come help me out?"
Scratching his head reluctantly, Chu Ge complained, "Miss He, I'm finally off today and was thinking about where to take my sister-in-law for some fun. Having you give me tasks now really kills the mood. Can't you let me relax a bit?"
Since they just had a meal together yesterday and the atmosphere was quite nice, Chu Ge didn't hold back much despite Qin Ruoying being there.
Little did he know that Qin Ruoying already considered He Qing as her sister's rival; hearing Chu Ge speak so freely, she started to worry for Qin Ruojing.
"Chu Ge, it's really unavoidable to trouble you. You see, I don't really know anyone here; it seems you're the only one I can ask for help. And the favor I want isn't troublesome at all; Miss Ruoying might even be interested."
Hearing He Qing say this, Chu Ge couldn't help but be intrigued and said, "Hmm? She might be interested? Then tell me, what is it?"
"Here's the thing: I know there's a large car show in the city today, and I want to buy two cars. How about you and Miss Ruoying accompany me to check it out?"
"Uh, wait a moment, I'll ask her if she's interested."
Chu Ge turned to Qin Ruoying and explained the situation; Qin Ruoying immediately nodded, "Let's go!"
Qin Ruoying already considered He Qing as her sister's rival. Such a great opportunity to gather intel about the enemy, she certainly wouldn't miss!
