The next morning, Bai Qingqing got up early to find Cheng Rui.
Professor Li and his wife were used to getting up early and the woman was already making breakfast with Bai Tiantian in the kitchen, while the professor was sitting by the window with a book.
Bai Qingqing went downstairs and greeted everyone happily. Last night, the system had told her Cheng Rui had started to develop an irregular heartbeat towards her; this was such good news, she decided to work even harder to seduce him.
Fu Chen and Xiao Yang were still resting, while Cheng Rui, Shen Mingxuan, and Liang Zhiyu were already outside, chatting together.
“Little girl, come and have some breakfast.” Mrs. Li came out of the kitchen with porridge.
Bai Qingqing waved her hand and replied: “You can eat first, I will eat later.”
As soon as her words fell, she rushed to open the door and ran towards the men who weren’t too far away.
“What are you talking about?” Bai Qingqing smiled, “Breakfast is ready, go eat.”
The smile on Shen Mingxuan’s face tensed. He glanced at her, turned around, and walked back to the RV.
“Already up?” Liang Zhiyu looked at her, “I thought you would sleep a bit longer.”
It was only 7 in the morning and she usually slept until 8 and because there was nothing to do while on the road, she would stay in her room to rest.
Bai Qingqing blushed. She liked to stay in bed and Fu Chen would occasionally urge her to get up; she would act coquettishly and he would let her stay in her room and she would not even get up for breakfast.
She lowered her eyelashes, a shy and embarrassed look on her face.
“Yesterday, Cheng Rui agreed to teach me to use guns. I have to get up early for the lesson!”
Liang Zhiyu looked at Cheng Rui when he heard her. This was unexpected, the cold and quiet Cheng Rui would actually agree to help Bai Qingqing!
His attitude towards Bai Qingqing used to be very different. He used to be cold, sometimes even cruel, but Liang Zhiyu could see their relationship had greatly improved in the past few days. It seemed that even someone as indifferent as Cheng Rui couldn’t escape the lure of beauty.
Noticing Liang Zhiyu’s gaze, Cheng Rui stepped forward and said to Bai Qingqing: “Aren’t you going to get breakfast first?”
“I’ll go.” Liang Zhiyu patted him on the shoulder, “I will leave you two to it.”
The doctor of the team was wondering how Fu Chen would feel to see his precious baby sister with Cheng Rui practice shooting together. Would his blood pressure rise? As a bystander, he felt quite excited to watch this play.
As soon as Liang Zhiyu returned to the RV and was out of sight, Bai Qingqing took buns and milk from her space and handed them to Cheng Rui. She whispered: “I don’t remember you liking porridge very much, here, eat this instead.”
Cheng Rui observed her give him food secretly. As he stretched out his hand and she stuffed the buns in it, his heartbeat accelerated slightly and he asked: “Don’t you want to go get breakfast inside first?”
Bai Qingqing took some strawberry milk from the space next and blinked: “I’m drinking milk.”
She looked at the vehicle and added in a low voice: “Let’s hide a little bit. If Liang Zhiyu sees us, he will probably scold me.”
Cheng Rui knew Liang Zhiyu wouldn’t get angry, at most say a few words to her, but still followed her. They walked about a dozen meters so they wouldn’t be seen from the RV’s window easily; the two of them were keeping their breakfast secret and a strange feeling arose in his chest, mixed with tension and excitement as if they just had become partners in crime.
Cheng Rui and Bai Qingqing stood side by side and ate their breakfast, their backs to the RV. The sunlight bathed them, warming the whole picture.
Bai Qingqing bit her straw and turned her head to look at the man next to her: “Cheng Rui, I heard from my brother your family was in Yaoyang Base.”
“Yeah.” Cheng Rui answered lightly.
Bai Qingqing’s expression became a little sad and she continued in a small voice: “Then you will leave us when we reach the Yaoyang base.”
Cheng Rui’s eyes darkened. He thought of her dependence on Fu Chen and replied: “I’m not sure yet.”
What? He wasn’t sure? What did that mean? Wasn’t he supposed to stay on the base? In the original novel, Cheng Rui had stayed to help his brother and had become the leader of the Yaoyang base. Had she changed the plot?
Bai Qingqing finished drinking her milk. She licked her lips and said sweetly: “Cheng Rui, I’m done eating! Teach me how to shoot when you are too!”
Cheng Rui stared at her for a few seconds; she was young, very beautiful and she was saying his name in a sweet voice; no matter what she was up to, she wouldn’t be able to get away and she was deliberately trying to seduce him.
