I run a hotel in Huangshan

Chapter 87: Rivals Reconcile
Lu Siqing slept soundly, but his face was still a little pale.

Zhou Chenyu stood beside the bed, his back to Han Qingyue. The soft morning light shone on him, casting a golden hue on his black coat.

Under Han Qingyue's gaze, Zhou Chenyu's hand was slowly reaching out to Lu Siqing.

"Brother Chenyu!"

Perhaps because her nerves were too tense, Han Qingyue was a little nervous. She quickly walked behind him and hugged his arms from behind. She didn't even notice that her voice was a little out of tune.

Zhou Chenyu frowned in surprise, turned to look at her, and said self-deprecatingly, "Han Qingyue, this is the first time you've hugged me, and it's under such circumstances. Do you think I should be happy or sad?"

Han Qingyue noticed that Zhou Chenyu's body was a little stiff, unlike his calm tone. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. "I... was just afraid you... would wake him up, so I wanted him to rest more."

Even she herself felt that this explanation was pale and powerless.

Zhou Chenyu didn't want to pursue the matter further, and said word by word: "I just wanted to feel his pulse, but I didn't expect you to hold me like a thief."

It turns out that he wanted to take the pulse!

Alas, she knew that Zhou Chenyu was kind-hearted and a decent person, but he was still so neurotic, which even she found strange.

Maybe she was too nervous about Lu Siqing.

"What else do you think I'm going to do?" Zhou Chenyu snorted coldly.

Han Qingyue felt a little embarrassed, so she let go of his arm and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I..."

Zhou Chenyu understood her feelings, but couldn't help but defend himself: "Qingyue, what are you thinking? Do you think I would be so stupid as to harm him in front of you?"

The overwhelming sense of guilt made Han Qingyue want to find a hole to hide in. She didn't know what to say. In fact, not only did she never doubt him, she also relied on him.

When Lu Siqing was unconscious, she felt at ease only when he was around.

"Okay, I don't blame you. Now that he's awake, the most urgent thing is to make him recover as soon as possible." Looking at her expression at the moment, Zhou Chenyu knew that she didn't mean it, so he changed the subject.

"Also, remember this next time: don't hug a healthy man from behind. This will cause him to misunderstand, unless that's what you want." Before she could respond, he teased her again.

"Zhou Chenyu, do you really enjoy teasing a patient's girlfriend in front of him?" Just as Zhou Chenyu finished speaking, Lu Siqing's low and warning voice came from beside him.

He didn't stand up, but his voice was extremely penetrating.

Zhou Chenyu was shocked, but Han Qingyue couldn't help laughing, thinking, the jealous girl has woken up, there is something interesting to watch!

Under their gaze, Lu Siqing slowly stood up. Perhaps due to his good sleep, his energy had been largely restored, and his eyes were very bright.

"Are you... okay?" Zhou Chenyu asked with concern.

"What? Do you hope that something happens to me?" Even though he knew that Zhou Chenyu had no ill will towards him, Lu Siqing was still annoyed.

"Lu Siqing!" Han Qingyue looked at him and signaled him to speak properly.

Zhou Chenyu was too lazy to pay attention to him and sat on the sofa not far away.

"I heard from Qingyue that you were there when I was unconscious. Thank you!" Lu Siqing said suddenly, but did not look at Zhou Chenyu.

"Don't thank me, I did it for Qingyue." Zhou Chenyu replied decisively.

"Thank you, no matter who it is!" Lu Siqing rarely lowered his stance in front of his love rival. "Okay, I'll accept your gratitude. From now on, just take good care of your health." Zhou Chenyu didn't even look at him. They were clearly chatting, but they didn't make eye contact.

Standing between the two of them, Han Qingyue remained silent. They were both sentimental people, and she was already very satisfied that they could chat like this.

Zhou Chenyu didn't linger for long. He stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he heard Lu Siqing's low but unquestionable voice from behind him, "You can come over often these few days. I don't have the energy to protect Qingyue. Someone has been causing trouble for her lately."

Zhou Chenyu stopped, smiled, and replied in an inaudible voice: "Okay, don't worry."

Han Qingyue was relieved that the two men who were originally incompatible had reconciled because they both wanted to protect her.

Guessing Zhou Chenyu had gone downstairs, Han Qingyue walked to the window and looked down. In the morning light, his silhouette, though sturdy, appeared forlorn and lonely. His exquisitely tailored black jacket and trousers made him look even more extraordinary.

A good man like him should go find his own happiness and shouldn't have any more hope for her.

She didn't know when she started to like Lu Siqing, but this time when Lu Siqing got into trouble, she realized her feelings for him. She chose to accept him and be with him.

As if sensing Han Qingyue's gaze, Zhou Chenyu paused and looked up. Han Qingyue was startled and quickly shrank to the side. After a long moment, she looked down again, but he had already walked away.

She felt bad, as if her eyes were hurt by his loneliness just now.

"Everyone has left, but you still haven't seen enough?" Lu Siqing's teasing voice came from behind.

Han Qingyue walked over and gently poked his forehead: "Okay, jealous bastard, stop being so sour."

She thought he would continue to be jealous, but unexpectedly, he said seriously: "Qingyue, sometimes I wonder, he is so outstanding and treats you so well, why don't you choose him?"

Lu Siqing knew Zhou Chenyu very well. He was the son of the chairman of Yuguan Group and the founder of Chenyu Tourism. His net worth was conservatively estimated to be in the billions.

He had to admit that Zhou Chenyu was excellent, both in appearance and ability. However, Zhou Chenyu did not feel superior because of this. He was humble and very low-key.

During the flood in Village W, he donated money and supplies. He also built a Hope Primary School, personally overseeing its construction. This entrepreneurial spirit and patriotism made him admire Zhou Chenyu. Putting aside the fact that they were his romantic rivals, he still admired Zhou Chenyu deeply.

"Yes, he is very good, but you are also very good, and so handsome. When did you become so humble and unable to see your own good points?" Han Qingyue looked at him with a smile and said sincerely.

Lu Siqing felt warm in his heart, but he still wanted to tease her, "Qingyue, have you never fallen in love with him?"

Han Qingyue was silent for a moment, then spoke as if deep in thought, "Brother Chenyu is kind and humble, mature and steady, with almost no flaws. Perhaps because of this, I seem so clueless in front of him. I can only look up to him and worship him. He's more like an older brother to me, or even a teacher."

"Han Qingyue, I understand. What you mean is that I am as stupid as you, so you want to be with me?" Lu Siqing seemed to grasp the main point and said dissatisfiedly word by word.

"What do you mean you're as dumb as me? You're dumber than me, right?" Seeing how jealous he was, Han Qingyue wanted to add fuel to the fire like a prankster.

"In other words, your brother Chenyu is high and mighty, like a male god, while I am more down-to-earth!" Lu Siqing really fell into the trap, his jealousy escalated, and he kept pursuing her.

"I didn't say that, nor did I mean that!" Han Qingyue glanced at him and tried hard to hold back her laughter.

"You look up at him and down at me?"

"Lu Siqing, don't misinterpret what I mean!" Under his almost pressing questioning, Han Qingyue became angry and raised her voice.

Perhaps it was a little dark in the ward, so Han Qingyue's face didn't look bad. Perhaps it was because she was in high spirits, Lu Siqing had no intention of letting her go. He then asked: "If you were given a chance to choose again, would you choose him?"
