Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 395 Cicada Song in Summer Serenity

"Going home?" he greeted, his hair glistening with spiky hair.

"Okay," she said, and started walking forward.

He stood beside her, silently taking her backpack and carrying it in his hands.

On a summer afternoon, the two walked quietly, with lush trees on both sides blocking out the scorching sunlight. Cicadas chirped incessantly from somewhere among the branches.

The cicadas sing in the tranquil summer, and the days stretch on endlessly.

As I walked along this road, my pace slowed down.

However, a figure suddenly rushed out.

Gu Juncheng instinctively stepped in front of Lin Qingping, shielding her behind him. He then recognized the person in front of him—Yu Chengzhi.

Yu Chengzhi, still bearing the unidentified red stains on his arm, stood before Lin Qingping, carrying a bundle, his face tense. "Lin Qingping, I have something to say to you."

Lin Qingping was about to peek out when Gu Juncheng pressed her back down.

Gu Juncheng's face tightened even more. "Say what you have to say now, right here."

Yu Chengzhi sneered, "Lin Qingping, are you sure? Do you want me to say it here?"

“Why not…” Lin Qingping started to say, but before Gu Juncheng could finish, he pressed her back down.

Then, Gu Juncheng finished speaking, "What can't be said?"

Yu Chengzhi nodded, looking very indignant. "Lin Qingping, I'm giving you a chance now. If you promise me one thing, I won't reveal your past secrets."

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? Are you out of your mind?

Gu Juncheng grabbed Lin Qingping's hand and led her forward, while simultaneously throwing three words at Yu Chengzhi, "I won't agree."

Yu Chengzhi: ? ? ? Why don't you act normally? Shouldn't a normal person ask what's going on first?

"Don't you want to know what it is?" Yu Chengzhi immediately stopped them.

"I don't want to." Gu Juncheng looked at him coldly.

Yu Chengzhi grew anxious, "You don't even want to know her secret?"

"I don't want to." Those were the same two words again.

"You..." Yu Chengzhi was furious with this man. He stood on tiptoe and shouted directly at Gu Juncheng's back, "Lin Qingping! You had better go and explain to the school that today's basketball game was just an accident, and I didn't frame this soldier! Otherwise, don't blame me for tearing off your last fig leaf!"

"A fig leaf?" These three words confused Lin Qingping, who couldn't help but find it ridiculous. "What fig leaf do I have? What is there to be ashamed of?"

She moved Gu Juncheng's hand away, which was about to push her back down, and stepped forward.

Yu Chengzhi's face regained its arrogance, with a smug look that said, "Now you're scared, aren't you?" He continued, "Lin Qingping, haven't you done enough shameful things in the village before?"

"Oh? A shameful affair?" Lin Qingping retorted, finding the man utterly ridiculous.

Yu Chengzhi raised his chin and said, "Lin Qingping, this is my last chance for you. Go to the department and explain the situation. Just say that there was a misunderstanding during today's competition, and it's not what the rumors say. I will cover up those ugly things for you."

Lin Qingping finally understood. With graduation approaching, Yu Chengzhi had brought this whole mess upon himself, and now he was infamous. It would definitely affect his graduation, either in the graduation evaluation or in job placement.

This guy is ridiculous. He's the one begging her, isn't he? Instead of apologizing or speaking politely, he uses this condescending and threatening tone. It's like she's the one crying and pleading for him, and then she has to be grateful to him afterward?

Gu Juncheng was about to speak when she stopped him, and then she spoke first, "What you're saying makes it sound like I'm helping you lie, and I have to thank you?"

Yu Chengzhi visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smug look appeared on his face. "No need for thanks, I don't want to see you any more."

Lin Qingping really wanted to hit him on the head with a stick!

Does she want to see him?

She said "Oh".

Yu Chengzhi glanced at Gu Juncheng with the eyes of a victor, then looked at Lin Qingping, "Let's go, the department teachers are all in their offices."

Lin Qingping smiled faintly, "You really want me to go?"

"Of course," Yu Chengzhi said, "and besides, you were the one who wanted to go!"

Lin Qingping nodded slightly, "Okay! I'll go!"

She turned around and took the bag back from Gu Juncheng.

"I'll go with you," Gu Juncheng said, without stopping her.

"No need!" Lin Qingping took a box out of her bag. "Perfect, this is the videotape we just recorded. I'll take it to the teacher, and then the teacher will know what happened and will have evidence."

"You..." Yu Chengzhi's expression changed drastically. "Lin Qingping, are you crazy? You're not allowed to hand it over!"

He lunged forward to grab it.

But with Gu Juncheng around, how could he possibly succeed? He couldn't even get close to Lin Qingping.

Yu Chengzhi lunged forward, panting heavily, but couldn't touch the box at all. He pointed angrily at Lin Qingping, "Lin Qingping, have you thought this through? You really won't help me?"

Lin Qingping laughed. "Why should I help you? Because you framed my people?"

The words "my person" made Gu Juncheng glance at her sideways.

"Fine...fine..." Yu Chengzhi trembled with anger. "Lin Qingping, I'm asking you one last time, are you going to clarify things or not? Instead of harming me!"

"Please get this straight: from beginning to end, it was you who harmed others!" Lin Qingping said solemnly.

Yu Chengzhi's face turned pale with anger. "Fine, Lin Qingping, don't blame me. My Youbi is gone, and you won't have an easy time either!"

Fearing that this person might go crazy and attack Lin Qingping, Gu Juncheng immediately shielded Lin Qingping behind him again.

Yu Chengzhi was furious and threw the bundle he was carrying at Gu Juncheng's face. "Perfect! This is what I was going to give you! Take a look! See how your wife used to pester me and harass me relentlessly in the village!"

The bundle was thrown at Gu Juncheng's face, but Gu Juncheng was quick and caught it in his hand.

Yu Chengzhi's face turned pale with anger as he sneered, "These are all the shoes, clothes, and letters she made for me when I ignored Lin Qingping back then, and she kept pestering me to do them."

After saying that, she shouted loudly at Lin Qingping behind Gu Juncheng, "Lin Qingping, didn't you tell your soldier husband what we did in the fields back then? What you kept pestering me to do with you... Ah—"

Before Yu Chengzhi could finish speaking, he cried out in pain as Gu Juncheng punched him in the face.

"You...you dare to hit someone?" Knowing he was no match for Gu Juncheng, Yu Chengzhi turned and ran, shouting as he ran, "You dare to hit someone! You actually dare to hit someone!"

Seeing him run far away, Lin Qingping said anxiously, "He said you hit someone! Don't let him talk nonsense!"

"Let him say it!" Gu Juncheng's voice was deep and heavy.

Lin Qingping's heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank. She turned to look at Gu Juncheng and saw that his eyes were also dark and brooding. The bundle that Yu Chengzhi had given him had fallen to the ground, revealing a pair of cloth shoes, a piece of clothing, and several letters inside...
