Chapter 52

"This place is still quite far from our house," Xiao Yue said as he packed clothes into the luggage, speaking to Shen Minglou. "Let's go back and stay for one night today, and tomorrow we can go to the hospital for a checkup together."

Xiao Yue placed a few more clothes into the suitcase, but he did not hear a response from Shen Minglou. Looking in Shen Minglou's direction, he asked, "What do you think?"

Startled, Shen Minglou said, "Just like this."

After speaking, he turned his head towards the window. His face showed no expression, but the constant fidgeting of the blanket draped over him revealed his true thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yue zipped up the suitcase. He approached Shen Minglou and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Shen Minglou replied, although his voice had a hint of anger. Despite saying there was nothing wrong, Xiao Yue did not believe him.

Sitting next to Shen Minglou, Xiao Yue thought about the conversation between Shen Minglou and Qin Zhichen from the day before. Shen Minglou did not let him listen, but after returning to the room, he tried to eavesdrop by the door.

However, due to the good construction quality, he couldn't hear anything after sticking by the door for an hour.

Qin Zhichen came to knock on his door after chatting with Shen Minglou, and his demeanor was more excited than he had expected. Although there was a hint of wetness in the corner of his eyes, the smile on his face was one of genuine joy.

It made him feel a bit disgusted.

Xiao Yue felt something was off at that time. When he went out to find Shen Minglou, Shen Minglou also did not show any significant abnormalities...

No, his cousin had always liked to keep things hidden in his heart. If he didn't voluntarily speak about what was on his mind, no one could force him to reveal any true feelings.

Even his anger was just silently stewing inside.

Perhaps, from that moment on, Shen Minglou had already started feeling angry, but he had disguised it so well that Xiao Yue hadn't noticed it promptly.

Coughing lightly, Xiao Yue spoke up, "Did that person say something to you yesterday that you didn't like?"

Subconsciously, Shen Minglou replied, "No."

Immediately, he felt a twinge of regret and let out a heavy exhalation.

"I don't want to see him again," Shen Minglou said. "I'm not as nostalgic about the past as you think."

Xiao Yue had no words to say. He laughed awkwardly a couple of times before changing the subject, "After that, just stay at our house. You won't have to worry about seeing him anymore."

"I'm afraid Qin Zhichen will find out."

Lowering his head, Shen Minglou twisted the blanket in his hands, "I can't burden you all."

"How can that be a burden? We are family, and you coming back to stay is only natural," Xiao Yue replied.

Xiao Yue found it difficult to lie in front of Shen Minglou. He cleared his throat and slowly said, "I heard from Xue Mei that Mr. Qin has been quite busy lately. The leadership is always traveling... I guess Qin Zhichen won't pay much attention to us anymore."

"I see," replied Shen Minglou, visibly relieved. This also lifted a weight off Xiao Yue's chest.

"He probably won't come looking for you during this time."
