Chapter 64 A Little Push (41/95)
Several days passed.
The criminals who were previously taken to the apartment were all taken away by the police and were being interrogated individually.
As for the masked murderer they spoke of…
What masked murderer?
Was there such a thing?
Even the police officers in the police station didn’t know why Captain Wang Wenqi always had a suppressed smile when interrogating criminals.
Meanwhile, at Liu Zining’s home.
After that incident, the relationship between Liu Haoyu and Qin Liu became a bit strange.
At least in Liu Zining’s opinion, the atmosphere when the two were alone was somewhat peculiar.
Liu Haoyu was very thick-skinned and didn’t seem to feel anything.
But as for her own sister…
Why did she look like she had been violated?
Seeing Qin Liu sitting uncomfortably on the sofa with her legs clasped together, Liu Zining pulled Liu Haoyu to the second floor.
Liu Haoyu looked at the aggressive Liu Zining, a little confused.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Liu Haoyu looking clueless, Liu Zining scanned him up and down and said suspiciously.
“Brother Liu, tell me honestly, did you do anything to me… oh no, to Qin Liu forcefully?”
“How is that possible!” Liu Haoyu said to Liu Zining with a serious expression, as if he were a gentleman. “To tell you the truth, I was about to say that Qin Liu did something to me forcefully.”
“Pfft! Hahaha!”
Hearing this, Liu Zining slapped her thigh and pointed at Liu Haoyu, her expression as if to say, “What are you joking about?”
“Come on, Qin Liu? What could she do to you? I’ll stuff my head in the toilet if I believe that silly little ghost could do anything to you.”
Liu Zining believed she understood her sister better than anyone.
Given her sister’s personality, this honest and incredibly soft, never-been-in-a-relationship big sister, what could she do to Liu Haoyu?
She couldn’t possibly pin him down and rub him on the ground, right?
Liu Haoyu looked at Liu Zining’s disbelieving expression and felt speechless.
In this day and age, people don’t believe the truth anymore.
After laughing enough, Liu Zining covered her slightly aching stomach, placed her hand on Liu Haoyu’s shoulder, and said righteously.
“Besides, Brother Liu, even if Qin Liu forced herself on you, as a grown man, wouldn’t you resist?”
“…”
Liu Haoyu looked at Liu Zining in silence for a long time and said slowly.
“Do you think a normal man, when faced with a young woman making a move on him, would shout for help or lie down and enjoy it?”
“Uh…”
Liu Zining was momentarily speechless.
“So what exactly happened between you two?”
“How should I put it… it’s a long story…”
“Then make it a short story.”
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s hesitant expression, Liu Zining said impatiently.
“Believe it or not, I’ll force you later?”
“I don’t think you have that ability.”
What a joke! It was one thing to be pinned down and trampled by a guide, but if Liu Zining pinned him down, where would his dignity as a ghost exorcist be? Where would his authority be? Where would her white stockings be?
“Just a little joke.”
Liu Zining certainly wouldn’t fight with her own sister for food.
Once upon a time, she always thought her sister would be single her whole life, but she never expected…
It’s truly fate playing tricks on people, and life is unpredictable.
Sister, she’s clearly moved.
She didn’t know what Qiu Leling and Liu Haoyu had done in that apartment to give her honest and upright older sister such a big shock.
But… Liu Zining looked Liu Haoyu up and down.
Whether it was appearance or inner qualities, this guy, despite looking like a shrimp head, was quite a good match for her sister.
“So Brother Liu, don’t you have any thoughts about Qin Liu?”
Liu Zining said mysteriously.
“From what I know of Qin Liu, she’s definitely struggling with how to face you right now. If you ask me, you must have some thoughts about Qin Liu too, right?”
“With Qin Liu’s looks, I think any man would have thoughts about her.”
“No, no, no, I’m not talking about lustful thoughts…” Liu Zining leaned into Liu Haoyu’s ear and said, “Tell me honestly, do you like her?”
“It would be a lie to say I don’t like her. I’m not that hypocritical.”
Liu Haoyu admitted generously. There was nothing to be ashamed of.
Liu Zining chuckled upon hearing this.
“Your words are enough. I’ll go test Qin Liu’s reaction.”
“Wait a moment…”
Before Liu Haoyu could finish speaking, Liu Zining went downstairs on her own.
This made Liu Haoyu feel a little helpless.
Meanwhile, Liu Zining went downstairs to the first floor and couldn’t help but smile when she saw Qin Liu playing with a teacup.
As expected, this silly and cute sister could never hide her true feelings.
Liu Zining sat down next to Qin Liu and teased her.
“Sis? Thinking about brother-in-law again?”
“How is that possible!”
Qin Liu, who was lost in thought, heard this and her voice rose several decibels.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
“Don’t hide it, Sis. You know, you can’t hide anything from me.”
Faced with Liu Zining’s playful expression, Qin Liu was speechless.
She lowered her head in silence, her slender fingers constantly toying with the teacup, her expression quite dazed.
“But… humans and ghosts are destined to be impossible.”
Qin Liu said so, but Liu Zining knew.
This was not her lie.
Her sister was still the same as before, afraid of rejection from anyone, let alone someone she deeply cared about.
“You should be able to feel it too, right?” Qin Liu’s restless little hands continued to move the teacup. “Even if I try my best to restrain myself, even a tiny trace of overflowing resentment makes Liu Haoyu become increasingly haggard and thin. Look at his face, if you didn’t know, you’d think he was about to die.”
“So let alone any romantic feelings,”
“I am a ghost, it’s impossible…”
The more Qin Liu spoke, the weaker her voice became, until finally, it disappeared completely.
Listening to Qin Liu’s words, Liu Zining couldn’t help but sigh.
Her sister was kind and beautiful, and good in every way, except she was too timid in her interactions with people.
This timidity wasn’t social anxiety; she simply didn’t want to ruin any relationships, preferring to be a people-pleaser, afraid that a moment of impulse would cause displeasure or awkwardness for others.
However, caring too much about others’ feelings isn’t necessarily a good thing.
The interpretation of an honest person can also be a slow poison.
Indecision and timidity, not daring to accept, but also not daring to refuse, constantly delaying will only lead the other person into severe self-doubt and internal struggle.
Ultimately, their relationship might end unhappily before it even begins.
To avoid this situation, a little push is needed.
