Chapter 43 part 2

There was only one stone stool, but she let her sit.

Yan Shiqing immediately raised her lips, shook their clasped hands, and said, “Then let’s take a rest for a while and make sufficient preparations before moving forward.”

“Okay,” Shen Qiaoyu responded without realizing anything.

But they hadn’t rested for long when they heard another announcement not far away, “The Bull Terrier is out! The Bull Terrier is out!”

Ignoring the staff’s obstruction, the man in black said, “I misunderstood you. That new guest is really strong. My brother’s tag must have been snatched by her.”

Shen Qiaoyu: “…”

The man in black was taken away, and her curiosity about the new guest reached a higher level.

Yan Shiqing guessed her curiosity and smiled at her, saying, “Let’s go and have a look. Just be careful, we definitely won’t be discovered.”

…

Indeed, they wouldn’t be discovered.

Because the two of them were walking close to the wall.

Shen Qiaoyu found it funny herself. The two of them were sneaking around like thieves, quietly heading towards the source of the sound.

But this method successfully didn’t disturb the four people not far away.

It turned out that the two new guests were fighting with Yan Tang.

Shen Qiaoyu immediately noticed Shen Yuchuan among the four people and couldn’t help but be surprised.

What the hell?!

Didn’t Shen Yuchuan run away from home to play esports?

Why is he here?

Shen Qiaoyu turned to Yan Shiqing next to her and asked her instead, “Am I seeing things? Why did Shen Yuchuan come over here?”

Of all places, why did he come to participate in the show?

“You didn’t see it wrong.” Yan Shiqing’s gaze, instead of focusing on the three men, became deep as she pointed and said, “See that girl over there? Her name is Yan Yi. She is my dad’s newly recognized goddaughter and also a newcomer that his company just signed. I guess my dad pushed her into the production team.”

“No, what does that have to do with Shen Yuchuan?” Shen Qiaoyu unconsciously followed the direction she was pointing at and upon closer observation, was stunned.

“???”

How could she be here?

“I don’t know why your brother came either.” Yan Shiqing smiled wryly. She only knew that next month she would switch identities with this goddaughter, who would become the true heiress of the Yan Family.

But as long as it doesn’t affect her relationship with Qiao Qiao, it’s fine.

She looked at Shen Qiaoyu again and suddenly noticed the change in her eyes, so she asked keenly, “Do you know that girl?”

“Huh?”

“I do.” Shen Qiaoyu came to her senses and told her directly, “I met her when I entered the military. At that time, we were in the same group and even roommates.”

“What?!”

Roommates!

She and Qiao Qiao have never been roommates before!

At that moment, Yan Shiqing’s heart rang an alarm bell, and she casually asked, “So, you two are friends, and your relationship used to be good?”

Shen Qiaoyu didn’t notice anything and replied lightly, “Yes, our relationship used to be quite good. We trained together…”

Before she finished speaking, she felt her hand being squeezed.

She couldn’t help but look at their hands held together. It turned out that Yan Shiqing was pinching her.

It wasn’t a pinch, just a tight grip.

She looked up at Yan Shiqing and found her acting strange, with a hint of anger and a flushed face.

What’s going on?

She looked around but didn’t notice anything unusual, so she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yan Shiqing finally realized what she was doing, let go of her tight grip, and appeared a little flustered. She said slowly, “I’m sorry, please continue. What happened next? Are you still good friends?”

Seeing her reaction, Shen Qiaoyu didn’t pay much attention and continued, “After I retired, I didn’t keep in touch with her.”

“Why didn’t you keep in touch? Weren’t you friends?” Yan Shiqing quickly hit the nail on the head, saying, “If you were roommates, you should have had a good relationship, right?”

There was a tinge of jealousy in her voice.

But Shen Qiaoyu fell silent, feeling that she shouldn’t have said so much. Now, how should she respond? Should she say that she blocked all contact with the other person, or should she mention that she lost an important position in the special forces because of her?

Thinking back on that matter made her inexplicably depressed.

Yan Yi, formerly known as Ren Yi, she and Shen Qiaoyu had a good relationship initially. They trained together, occasionally helped each other, and sometimes brought meals. They even lent a hand during training.

But one day, the other person suddenly confessed to her and started harassing her ever since.

Yes, the severity could be described as harassment, as it has disrupted her daily life and training.

She had to call her out to have a serious conversation and coldly rejected the person’s confession.

But she did not expect that Ren Yi would commit suicide the next day.

At that time, both of them were newly trained recruits, and both had passed the selection for an important military unit.

Ren Yi was saved but remained silent, appearing depressed.

Such a matter involving human life naturally required a thorough investigation, which eventually pointed to her. Someone reported that she had arranged to meet the person that day and witnessed Ren Yi leaving in a despondent state.

The rumors spread widely.

Shen Qiaoyu was summoned by her superior and explained the situation in its entirety. However, relationships between women in the military were already discreet, and in the eyes of higher-ups, Ren Yi was the victim.

It was said that she came from a poor family with sick parents and struggled to reach this point.

Others pitied her.

To ease the situation, the superior ultimately removed Shen Qiaoyu from her position as punishment and transferred her to another unit. In a grave tone, the superior told her, “This is for your protection. If you lose the position, you can still go next year. With your abilities, you can easily get in. But what if Ren Yi dies because of you? We need to let her vent.”

Shen Qiaoyu was filled with anger.

Why? What did she do wrong to lose her position?

However, later she unintentionally discovered the misconduct of that superior and promptly reported it, leading to his dismissal. It was a way of retaliating against that unfair punishment.

…

At this moment, Yan Shiqing was still looking at her, waiting for her answer.

She replied, “It’s been so long, we stopped contacting each other a while ago, and I no longer have her contact information.”

“Moreover, we had conflicts before and fell out.”

Wait a minute.

Suddenly, Shen Qiaoyu realized something.

Why did she feel the need to explain to Yan Shiqing in such detail?

However, after Yan Shiqing finished listening, she smiled, clearly pleased, and said to her, “Is our relationship worse than yours and mine?”

She successfully diverted Shen Qiaoyu’s attention.

“Of course not.”

Yan Shiqing’s smile deepened when she pulled her sleeve and said, “Let’s go, let’s try to avoid running into them.”

“Okay,” Shen Qiaoyu replied, “But I still want to ask why Shen Yuchuan is here.”

“Ask him later.”

As they spoke, the two of them stood up and stepped back.

However, at that moment, Shen Yuchuan, not far away, unexpectedly saw their backs. With just a glimpse, he recognized Shen Qiaoyu and shouted, “Shen Qiaoyu! Come help your brother!!”

Shen Qiaoyu: “…”

Why did she end up with such a brother?!

Shen Yuchuan’s words instantly disrupted the tense situation between the two opposing groups nearby.

Even Fei Wuya called out, “Shen Qiaoyu, ally with us! These new guests are not easy to deal with. Don’t act foolish just because he’s your brother. Once they turn against us, you will be the first to be their target!”

Faced with the two teams trying to win her over, Shen Qiaoyu made a decisive choice.

…

Author’s Notes:

It’s a bit late, but here’s the update! A new character is introduced to develop the relationship between the two main characters. There won’t be any cruelty throughout! It will get more interesting after the plot twist (evil laughter).
