Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Lingzi stared blankly at Shazhu and Qin Huairu walking into the yard, an inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart.

Sha Zhu didn't seem to notice Lingzi's abnormality. He was still talking to Qin Huairu with a smile, looking very happy.

When Qin Huairu saw Lingzi, she was stunned for a moment, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head.

Following Qin Huairu's gaze, Sha Zhu finally noticed Lingzi sitting by the door. The smile on his face faded a little, and he walked to the door and asked:

"Wife, do you want to bask in the sun? You know what, the sun is so strong right now. It's quite warm in the sun, hehe." Lingzi did not answer him immediately, but just looked at him quietly.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "The sun is nice. By the way, where did you go?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head uncomfortably and said, "I was sending an old man to the hospital. Sister Qin also went to the hospital to see an old man. We met on the way back and chatted for a while."

"You two?" Lingzi raised her eyebrows and looked at Shazhu without saying another word.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, but Sha Zhu didn't realize it and continued to talk: "Wife, do you know how badly the old man was injured?"

"I guess you wouldn't believe me if I told you that his arm was broken. Tell me, tsk tsk..."

Lingzi still didn't say a word. She just watched Shazhu talking excitedly, but her eyes kept moving between him and Qin Huairu.

Over the years, Qin Huairu may not have fully mastered other skills through the hardships of life, but reading people's faces seems to be an innate talent that she can always learn without a teacher.

At this moment, she keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Lingzi's expression. Her slightly furrowed brows, tightly pursed lips and the doubt flashing in her eyes all clearly revealed her inner doubts.

Qin Huairu's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly said, "Well, you two can chat, I'll go back first."

After saying that, she quickened her pace and hurried home as if she was being chased by something.

After Sha Zhu poured out all the words he wanted to say, he looked at Lingzi expectantly, like a child waiting for praise, fully expecting to get Lingzi's affirmation.

However, what he never expected was that Lingzi not only did not say a word, but instead stood up slowly with a stern face.

Then, she walked into the house without saying a word, leaving Sha Zhu alone there, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

Lingzi looked obviously unhappy. Shazhu hesitated for a moment and followed her into the house.

In the room, Lingzi stood quietly by the window with her back to Shazhu, silent.

Sha Zhu looked at Lingzi's silent back, feeling helpless and anxious:

"Lingzi, what's wrong? If you have any worries, just tell me. We are a couple, what can't we talk about?"

Lingzi didn't say anything at this time. She was recalling Xu Damao's words. Combined with the scene she just saw, she began to doubt the relationship between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

When Sha Zhu saw Lingzi didn't reply, he became anxious like an ant on a hot pot and asked:

"Lingzi, please say something. I'm worried if you keep silent like this." There was a hint of pleading in Sha Zhu's voice.

Ever since Lingzi returned to the city from her parents' home, he has been trying his best to be nice to her, fearing that she would go back to her parents' home again if she was unhappy.

Also, he was afraid that she would find out why he signed the guarantee letter, so he had been trying his best to keep it a secret. Fortunately, everything had been fine for such a long time.

Seeing Lingzi's reaction today, Shazhu was very afraid that someone must have told her the secret, which led to her reaction.

At this moment, Lingzi turned around, with a look of fatigue and disappointment in her eyes:

"Zhu Zi, you really don't understand why I'm unhappy?"

Sha Zhu was stunned. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak for a long time.

His eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look Lingzi in the eye. The fear in his heart surged like a tide. He was afraid that the secret would be revealed and he was afraid of losing Lingzi's trust.

What he didn't expect was that what Lingzi said next made him feel relieved:

"You and Sister Qin are so close, and everyone is laughing at me. Don't you think about how sad I am?"

"Don't try to deny it. I heard from others that you two started talking and laughing on the street and walked all the way back."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Lingzi, there's really nothing going on between me and my sister. We just met on the street and exchanged a few words."

"If I'm guessing correctly, the guy who gossiped with you was Xu Damao, right?"

Sha Zhu unconsciously clenched his fist while asking the question. If Xu Damao was in front of him, his fist would definitely hit him on the head.

"Lingzi, don't listen to Xu Damao's nonsense. He loves to gossip."

Lingzi snorted: "Xu Damao's words are indeed unbelievable, but it is also true that you and Sister Qin are close."

"Zhu Zi, I'm not asking you to help others, but you should also consider my feelings. How can I live in this courtyard like this?"

Sha Zhu quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Lingzi, I know I was wrong. I will keep my distance from Sister Qin in the future and will never let you suffer any grievances again."

After talking for a while, Lingzi was finally calmed down. Sha Zhu secretly vowed to avoid Qin Huairu from now on to avoid unrest at home.

After settling Lingzi down, Sha Zhu immediately walked towards Xu Damao's house in the backyard and pushed open his door.

Seeing Sha Zhu suddenly appear in his house, Xu Damao was shocked: "What are you doing? Can't you just talk it out nicely?" Xu Damao said guiltily.

Sha Zhu grabbed Xu Damao by the collar and said, "Xu Damao, you are so shameless. Why did you say such nonsense about Qin Huairu and me in front of Lingzi? What are you thinking?"

Xu Damao quickly explained: "I didn't mean it, I just said it casually, don't be angry, let me go, let's talk it out."

Sha Zhu was so angry that he didn't even want to give him a chance to talk properly, and he just slapped him twice.

This really stunned Xu Damao. He felt his head buzzing for a moment and was unable to react for a long time.

At this moment, the voice of Auntie No. 3 came from the gate of the courtyard: "Hey, isn't this Xiao'e? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Lou Xiao'e smiled at the third aunt and asked casually, "Yes, I haven't been home for a long time. By the way, third aunt, is Xu Damao home?"

When the third aunt told her that Xu Damao had just pushed the cart home, Lou Xiao'e immediately hurried to the backyard.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e arrived at Xu Damao's house, she saw two red handprints on Xu Damao's face, and Sha Zhu was grabbing him and scolding him.

This made her so happy that she burst out laughing...
