Chapter 318: Three hundred and seventeen, expressing one’s feelings Chapter 318: Three hundred and seventeen, expressing one’s feelings Mr. and Mrs. Zhang ran out of the house in panic, their eyes filled with fear as they beheld the collapsed courtyard wall.
“Was that an earthquake just now?” Mrs. Zhang asked with a pale face as she looked at the fallen wall.
“It must have been. The house was trembling just now. If not an earthquake, then what?” Mr. Zhang patted his chest in relief. Thankfully, the house didn’t collapse; otherwise, they would have nowhere to live today.
“Let’s not go back inside for now.” Mrs. Zhang was still frightened. She feared that the house would collapse if she went in; she hadn’t lived enough yet and didn’t want to be crushed to death.
Song Yan Ning and two others opened the courtyard gate and walked out.
Seeing Qin Yushen outside the door, Yang Lisheng and his wife were somewhat surprised.
“Xiao Shen, what are you doing here?” Yang Lisheng walked up to Qin Yushen’s side and, seeing the Zhang Family’s collapsed courtyard wall, his eyes were filled with astonishment. How could the wall that was fine just collapse?
“Brother Zhang, what happened?” Yang Lisheng asked.
“Didn’t you feel it just now?” Mr. Zhang looked at Yang Lisheng with surprise. They were only separated by a single wall, so how could he not feel the intense shaking that had just occurred?
“Feel what?” Yang Lisheng asked in confusion. He had come out after seeing Xiao Ning leave.
“The earthquake, didn’t you see my courtyard wall has collapsed?” Mr. Zhang was somewhat speechless. Were Yang Lisheng and his family dead? How could they not have felt such a big tremor?
Yang Lisheng shook his head. He genuinely hadn’t felt it.
Song Yan Ning glanced at Qin Yushen and then at Lu Tingxuan. Without guessing, she knew it must have been their doing. Thankfully, she had set up an array outside her home; otherwise, her family’s courtyard wall would definitely not have been spared.
Qin Yushen looked at Lu Tingxuan, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
Lu Tingxuan shrugged his shoulders with a nonchalant smile and turned to walk back inside. After this confrontation, he knew that neither he nor Qin Yushen could do anything to the other.
Qin Yushen withdrew his gaze and walked over to Song Yan Ning, taking her hand, “Let’s go inside and talk.” Lu Tingxuan was a strong rival and deserved their attention.
Song Yan Ning nodded, glanced at her grandparents who were chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, and followed Qin Yushen inside.
Upon closing the door, Song Yan Ning set up an array.
Qin Yushen took a seat with Song Yan Ning on the chairs, “Xiao Ning, I’ve decided. From now on, I’ll live here.” He had already checked, and there was an empty room in Xiao Ning’s house.
“Aren’t you starting school soon?” Song Yan Ning also hoped Qin Yushen could stay, but they couldn’t stay here forever just because of Lu Tingxuan.
“I’ll be going to university in Yang City,” Qin Yushen said with a smile, eager to see her reaction upon learning he would study in Yang City.
“Ah?” Song Yan Ning looked at Qin Yushen in surprise.
Seeing Song Yan Ning’s adorable expression, Qin Yushen couldn’t help but reach out and gently pinch her blushing cheek, “Is it a surprise?”
Song Yan Ning slapped Qin Yushen’s hand away, “Isn’t Beijing fine?” She knew he must have come to Yang City for university because of her.
Qin Yushen lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Song Yan Ning’s, rubbing gently, “Silly girl, don’t you really know why I came to Yang City?”
“How would I know?” Song Yan Ning shyly turned her face away. Seeing the depth and allure of Qin Yushen’s eyes made her heart uncontrollably quicken.
Qin Yushen smiled contentedly, “Of course, it’s for you. I want to be by your side at every moment, watching over you. Otherwise, if someone else snatched you away, I’d have nowhere to cry.”
Song Yan Ning playfully glared at Qin Yushen, “Once I’ve made up my mind, I won’t change it.”
The smile at the corner of Qin Yushen’s mouth deepened, and he pulled Song Yan Ning into his embrace, “Me too.” He was set on her alone!
