13: Chapter 13 Large-scale double standards

Zhou Yichen had sharp eyes and immediately caught this opportunity.

"Teacher Shen, let me help you."

He took a step forward with just the right amount of concern on his face.

"You have three pieces of luggage, it is too exhausting for you to move them alone."

As he spoke, Zhou Yichen had already reached out to grab the white suitcase.

Su Qing stood to the side, her facial expression a bit subtle.

She looked at Zhou Yichen, then at Shen Qingxue, her lips moved, but in the end, she said nothing.

The live broadcast bullet screen started flooding again.

[Zhou Yichen's play here is pretty slick]

[Saving a damsel in distress, a classic trope]

[Su Qing's expression is so real hahahaha]

[Where is Lu Li? Lu Li, say something, will you]

[Lu Li: What does it have to do with me? I can't carry them anyway]

[I'm dying of laughter, Slacker Brother is truly slacking off, he's not even in a hurry when his goddess is being snatched away]

Shen Qingxue glanced at Zhou Yichen, her tone indifferent.

"No need, thank you."

Zhou Yichen's hand stopped in mid-air, the smile on his face stiffening for a fraction of a second.

"It's fine, just a little effort."

As he spoke, he went to grab the suitcase again.

Shen Qingxue took a step back, dodging his hand.

"I said, no need."

Her tone was still indifferent, but anyone could hear the chilling aloofness in it.

Zhou Yichen's hand froze in place, the expression on his face finally unable to hold up, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Su Qing watched from the side, the corners of her mouth curling up unconsciously before quickly pressing down.

The bullet screen in the live broadcast went crazy laughing.

[Hhahahaha hahahaha]

[Zhou Yichen really played himself by eagerly making a fool of himself this wave]

[The goddess really doesn't give any face at all]

[I'm dying of laughter, look at Su Qing's expression, is she snickering?]

Lu Li stood to the side, taking it all in.

He originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he kept his mouth shut. Shen Qingxue rejecting Zhou Yichen was her own business and had nothing to do with him.

As for Shen Qingxue's three suitcases...

Lu Li looked down at the one suitcase and one backpack in his hands, then at Shen Qingxue's three neatly stacked pieces of luggage.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say "Let me help you carry one," but swallowed the words back.

Even Zhou Yichen's initiative to curry favor was rejected, why would he join in the fun? What if she hit him with a "no need" too, wouldn't that be asking for embarrassment?

Forget it, whatever she wants.

Lu Li pulled his suitcase and turned to leave.

Having just walked two steps out, Shen Qingxue's voice came from behind.

"Lu Li."

Lu Li paused his steps and turned back.

"What's up?"

Shen Qingxue looked at him, her tone still indifferent.

"Can you help me carry that white suitcase?"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment.

Wait, didn't you just reject Zhou Yichen? Why are you turning around and asking me to carry it?

Then he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Yichen.

Zhou Yichen's complexion indeed didn't look good, the corners of his mouth pressed into a line, and his eyes were filled with "why" and dissatisfaction towards him.

Lu Li instantly found it amusing, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Shen Qingxue again.

Shen Qingxue stood right there without any change in expression, as if that sentence just now was merely said casually.

Not to mention anything else, just based on Zhou Yichen's expression, he was definitely going to carry this luggage.

Lu Li put the backpack in his hands onto his back, freed one hand, walked over, and pulled up the white suitcase.

The suitcase was heavier than he imagined; the moment he got his hands on it, his wrist dipped downward.

"What's packed inside? So heavy?"

Shen Qingxue didn't answer, only pulling up the remaining silver carry-on suitcase and travel bag. Her movements were actually much more nimble than Lu Li expected.

Lu Li didn't ask much either, pulling the suitcase and walking forward.

Shen Qingxue followed behind him, the two of them still maintaining a distance of about one meter.

Zhou Yichen stood in place, watching their backs, the expression on his face finally unable to hold.

Su Qing softly said from the side: "Yichen, let's go too?"

Zhou Yichen took a deep breath, trying to force out a smile.

"Let's go."

Saying that, his gaze kept staring at the two people dragging luggage ahead.

The live broadcast bullet screen was already flooding at this time.

[Hhahahaha hahaha Zhou Yichen's expression, I screenshotted it to make a meme]

[Double standards scene, definitely a major double standards scene]

[Zhou Yichen: You didn't want my flattery, yet you turned around and made Lu Li carry it???]

[I'm dying of laughter, Lu Li's expression was just blankly dumbfounded at first]

The bullet screen flashed past extremely fast, but neither Lu Li nor Shen Qingxue knew.

The two walked one after another like this, crossing the coconut grove path, and returned to Heartbeat Apartment.

Pushing open the door, the first floor was the living room and dining room, just like the place where they had eaten just now, while the second and third floors were bedrooms.

Lu Li and Shen Qingxue dragged their suitcases up to the second floor together. There were several rooms on both sides of the corridor, with names pasted on the doors.

He found the room at the end of the corridor, with the words "Lu Li × Shen Qingxue" written on the doorplate.

Pushing open the room door, it was a spacious and bright suite.

Directly facing the door was a floor-to-ceiling window. The sea could be seen outside the window, and sunlight filtered through the white gauze curtains, making the entire room bathed in warm tones.

On the left-hand side was a corridor, with a small door on each side of the corridor, and their respective names pasted on the doors.

On the right-hand side was a small living room, with an off-white sofa and a log-colored coffee table. On the coffee table was also placed a bunch of unknown small white flowers, looking quite cozy.

Lu Li stood at the doorway, subconsciously stepping aside, and pointed into the door with the hand holding the white suitcase.

"You go in first, ladies first."

Shen Qingxue gave him an indifferent glance, didn't say much, and walked past him dragging two suitcases.

Her movements were nimble and her pace steady. The two suitcases seemed to have no weight in her hands, easily being pulled inside.

Lu Li clicked his tongue inwardly as he watched from behind.

This woman looked so delicate, how could she have so much strength?

He had already noticed it when going upstairs just now: Shen Qingxue carried a suitcase in each hand, her speed no slower than his, and she didn't even pant when going up the stairs.

In contrast, although he was carrying two suitcases plus a backpack, he was still slightly panting after climbing to the second floor.

Lu Li looked down at the white suitcase in his hands, then at Shen Qingxue's back, silently sticking a label on her in his heart.

"What are you standing there frozen for?"

Without turning her head, Shen Qingxue's voice drifted over from the corridor.

Lu Li snapped back to his senses and walked in dragging his suitcase.

He closed the door by the way, then placed the white suitcase by the edge of the corridor, and carried his own suitcase toward the door on the left with his name pasted on it.

Twisting open the door handle, inside was a small but very clean single room, with an independent bathroom, fully equipped with all facilities.

Lu Li laid down the suitcase, unzipped it, and began taking things out to tidy up the room.

After finishing the cleanup, he stuffed the empty suitcase into the wardrobe and then lay flat on the bed.

Comfortable.
