Chapter 120 Caught red-handed
Jiang Xueqing shyly said: ‘I…….I understand, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it, actually I should have already moved sooner to save you.”
“I didn’t mean that.” Jiang Xueqing explained, “I am thanking you because you are helping me to climb over the wall. I know you want to dilute the fear in my heart and make me forget the previous experience, right?”
Exceptionally intelligent.
Qin Lang’s mind suddenly had this thought.
It was a good phrase to describe beauty with intelligence, but sometimes Qin Lang felt that a beauty with high intelligence was also not a good thing. For instant, Tao Ruoxiang, Luo Bin and also this Jiang Xueqing …….
They had different styles, but had one thing in common.
Intelligence.
But sometimes, a woman with high intelligence wasn’t a good thing for boys.
After the instance of absent-mindedness, Qin Lang nodded his head and slightly smiled: “Get proper sleep, everything is in the past——alright, step on my shoulders, I will support you.”
Jiang Xueqing nodded, when she stepped on Qin Lang’s shoulders, she truly seemed to have forgotten previous frightening experiences or one could say that the current experience was more profound to her. She was sure that even after many years, she would still remember this night; stepping on a boy’s shoulders, and climbing up the wall, which she had longed for but had never tried before.
Qin Lang, however, had another feeling, when Jiang Xueqing stepped on his shoulders, she was strangely light, making Qin Lang feel that she didn’t have any weight, he didn’t know why he felt this, but Jiang Xueqing truly was graceful, not light, but graceful, as if the night wind could blow her away.
Qin Lang slowly stood up, Jiang Xueqing who was on his shoulders was able to reach the wall, she was just about to climb over, when an intense flashlight shone over them at this point, the light directly shone over Jiang Xueqing’s face.
Jiang Xueqing was alarmed and couldn’t help shouting, her foot slipped off and she fell down from Qin Lang’s shoulders.
But how nimble was Qin Lang, he moved his hands and directly held Jiang Xueqing at her waist, and by lucky coincidence, his one hand was touching Jiang Xueqing’s round and flexible b.u.t.t.
Only, that intense flashlight also shone at Qin Lang at this time.
In that bright flashlight, Qin Lang and Jiang Xueqing seemed to be like dancers who had just finished their dance.
The bright flashlight went out.
Qin Lang and Jiang Xueqing saw several figures quickly approaching them, Jiang Xueqing seemed to have already recognized these people, and like a startled rabbit, she jumped off from Qin Lang’s hold, then shaking with fear, she called out to a middle-aged woman ahead of her: “Mother——”
What situation was this!
Qin Lang was taken aback, he vaguely sensed the situation was far from good!
Even when facing the scoundrels like An Yang and Qing Jun, Qin Lang didn’t feel any pressure, but right now, he, however, had a frantic feeling, because the situation just before was too embarra.s.sing: After over midnight, climbing the wall with a girl, and the scene of holding the girl just before, he didn’t have any chance to explain it under the stares of the crowd.
Let alone, when they were caught red-handed by the girl’s own family members!
Too awkward!
However, Qin Lang naturally wouldn’t shrink back at such situation, otherwise Jiang Xueqing would have to bear enormous pressure by herself and Qin Lang wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if that happened.
The group of people walked over, holding the torches. Qin Lang roughly realized these people's ident.i.ty, apart from Jiang Xueqing’s parents, the others should be her father’s co-workers and other neighbours, there was also the gate guard uncle in the group, this was why there was no one inside the dependents’ courtyard’s guard room. They all were lending a hand to look for Jiang Xueqing.
After all, Jiang Xueqing was machinery dependents’ courtyard’s ‘courtyard flower’, the world wasn’t too safe these days, Jiang Xueqing would always return home on time before, but tonight she was late and she hadn’t even called home. So, the anxious Jiang Xueqing’s father, Jiang Guoliang, and mother, Liu Yuzhen, organized a ‘lookout movement’ tonight, they searched to no avail, and hadn’t imagined that when they returned, they would catch her red-handed. Yeah, saying ‘caught red-handed’ was pretty fitting.
“Uncles, aunts, I am sorry——”
Qin Lang rushed to apologize, his tone was completely sincere, “I am sorry for making you worry. You can blame tonight’s matters on me, I am Jiang Xueqing’s schoolmate, I recently partic.i.p.ated in school of arts training, but my talent is not good, I couldn’t follow teacher’s several dance moves today, so I asked schoolmate Jiang Xueqing to coach me. It resulted in us forgetting the time, and missing the bus, so we walked the whole way back. In short, uncle, aunt, it was all because of me, please don’t blame Jiang Xueqing. Yes, on the way, Jiang Xueqing wanted to call her home, but all the stores on the way were closed and we couldn’t find any public phones…....”
Jiang Xueqing was truly amazed by Qin Lang’s ability to tell lies, this guy’s lies were continuous like the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, it wasn’t exaggerated and there were not anything missing from it. Of course, what was even more important was Qin Lang’s att.i.tude and tone, that really showed politeness, modesty and manners; by greeting with ‘uncles and aunts’, he had made people feel sweet, so-called don’t hit a smiling person, seeing Qin Lang’s behavior, this group of simple and honest old workers’ felt their anger disappearing.
“Little Qing, remember to return home early in the future! You have always been an intelligent girl, how could you not have paid attention today…...be more attentive later, don’t worry your parents.” One of the middle-aged aunts reminded Jiang Xueqing, but her tone was very warm, and it was just an elder’s warning.
Jiang Xueqing’s parents kept a straight face from the beginning, in one aspect, they had been worried their daughter had met a mishap, but in another aspect, Qin Lang and Jiang Xueqing had appeared in an ambiguous position in front of them and their old neighbours, they were worried some people would gossip. Fortunately, this kid was clever, no matter if he was really telling the truth or lies, he had taken the responsibility for it, and allowed Jiang Xueqing to have a ‘clean name’, and prevented others from making gossips about it.
Jiang Xueqing’s father, Jiang Guoliang originally wanted to fiercely reprimand Qin Lang, but seeing that Qin Lang’s behaviour was pretty good, he changed his decision, he said with a serious expression: “Young man, pay a bit more attention in the future! Alright, it is already late, you need to return home, otherwise your parents might also get worried.”
“Young man, be safe on the road.” Jiang Xueqing’s mother, Liu Yuzhen unexpectedly gave a concerned thought.
“Thank you, uncle, aunt.” Qin Lang smiled and took his leave, he really resembled an innocent and guiltless good student.
Since Jiang Xueqing had come back safely, other people also gradually left for their homes.
After all the people had gone away, Liu Yuzhen whispered in a low voice: “Little Qing, that student just now is really, only your schoolmate?”
“Mother——he is truly, only a schoolmate!” Jiang Xueqing said, her face turning red.
Jiang Guoliang coughed dryly: “Little Qing, you are about to take entrance examination, you need to put strict requirements of yourself! As for other matters, it should wait till you enter University, no, after you graduate from University!”
“Guoliang, why are you being so serious…….what graduating university, I was almost little Qing’s age when you married me, you would stroll around our village’s entrance everyday……”
“Cough~I am educating the children.”
“Haha~~” Jiang Xueqing laughed, she finally felt like she had avoided a calamity.
A family of three walked through the peaceful dependents’ courtyard’s road, the bright street lamps hanging on the plane trees on the both sides of the road pulled the shadows of the three to a long distance.
