People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 1082: Chapter 140 Hao Jingjing_6

“No, Aijia, you’ve misunderstood. Zhao Yu had business in Shu City, and we just happened to be going the same way!” Hao Jingjing finally mustered the courage and used what she believed to be a logical explanation.

“Don’t speak. You’ve been deceived by him!” Aijia wouldn’t listen to a word.

“He’s not from Shu City. What business does he have there? Believe it or not, he went there because of you!”

The appearance of Aijia and this series of words caused Zhao Yu to reflect on himself.

His initial purpose in following Hao Jingjing to Shu City was to seriously raise his favorability, preferably to a full one hundred points.

As for what came after, he hadn’t thought about it.

But now, pointed out by Aijia, he became a bit confused and at a loss.

If he doesn’t continue to raise Hao Jingjing’s favorability, then what was he doing in Shu City?

Just like that, the situation stiffened, and seeing that Zhao Yu remained silent, Aijia believed she had hit a nerve.

She then pulled Hao Jingjing aside and began to earnestly persuade her.

Hao Jingjing, not being very emotionally intelligent, gathered a lot of information from Aijia’s insinuations, such as Zhao Yu having started to make contact with her long ago.

For instance, back in the canteen, it was Zhao Yu who had come to her rescue and saved her.

Her intention was to tell Aijia that Zhao Yu was approaching her with no other motives.

But in Aijia’s eyes, she felt that Zhao Yu was truly despicable, having set his sights on Hao Jingjing from the start.

After persuading for nearly ten minutes, Hao Jingjing still insisted that she and Zhao Yu were innocent, just very good friends.

Aijia was greatly distressed, feeling that Hao Jingjing was just too stubborn and naïve.

“No, I won’t do anything else this vacation. I’m going to Shu City with you. I must make you see Zhao Yu’s true face…”

She believed that everyone knew Zhao Yu was a swindler, a morally corrupt person of low character.

It was only Hao Jingjing who couldn’t see through him, still blindly defending him at every turn.

Soon, they started checking tickets, and she pulled Hao Jingjing straight inside.

Zhao Yu remained silent for several minutes, still unsure what to do. Seeing Hao Jingjing entering, he followed them.

“You still dare to follow!”

Aijia turned and, upon seeing Zhao Yu follow, immediately grew angry, pulling Hao Jingjing and rushed toward the train.

Thus, the three of them boarded the train one after another, much to Aijia’s surprise; Zhao Yu and Hao Jingjing ended up sitting together.

“Did you buy the tickets?”

“No, it was Zhao Yu who bought them!”

Aijia with a typical I-knew-it look, “I knew it, that guy was up to no good…”

During the mid-year seven-day vacation, the train was crowded with people; some were going home, others were traveling.

The three struggled for a while before managing to squeeze on, with Aijia taking the seat that should have been Zhao Yu’s.

“You find somewhere else to stay, don’t think about harming Hao Jingjing. I’m telling you, with me here, you won’t have a chance!” Aijia warned as usual.

Zhao Yu looked at her, then at the helpless Hao Jingjing, sighed deeply, and finally said, “Alright, you two sit here, I’ll find another seat…”

Speaking of finding another seat, but now, where were there any seats left? Zhao Yu could only stand in the connection between two carriages, along with other passengers who lacked seats.

Whatever Aijia was telling Hao Jingjing, he didn’t know and had no mind to care.

At that moment, Zhao Yu’s mind was occupied by what might happen if he filled Hao Jingjing’s favorability.

In the past few days, he had already started to feel the change in Hao Jingjing’s feelings towards him.

Although officially, they were still just friends, he could distinctly feel that Hao Jingjing had fallen in love with him, placing him in a very important position in her heart.

“Why are you so naïve!”

Zhao Yu couldn’t help but repeat Aijia’s words, feeling that Hao Jingjing was too innocent, which made him rather uneasy.

After all, he couldn’t really be with Hao Jingjing. His heart was already given to Su Xinxin.

Even though Su Xinxin’s favorability towards him had dropped to single digits, he believed that, once he paid off his debts and saved up some money again, he could start over.

Thinking along the journey, Zhao Yu couldn’t make sense of it.

The train arrived at the station, and Zhao Yu, near the door, got off first, then waited for Hao Jingjing.

Aijia, pulling Hao Jingjing off the train and seeing Zhao Yu waiting, instantly grew vigilant again, “You still haven’t given up?!”

After speaking, she tried to run off quickly with Hao Jingjing, trying to shake off Zhao Yu.

However, Hao Jingjing was uncooperative. Seeing Zhao Yu still waiting for her filled her eyes with joy.

Aijia, having no choice, let Zhao Yu follow behind but did not allow Hao Jingjing to look back or speak to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu at this time didn’t confront Aijia’s thoughts, still lost in his own, only sparing a bit of attention to follow the two.

Soon, they exited the station, and Aijia pulled Hao Jingjing directly into a taxi on the roadside.

As the car drove off, Aijia, with a triumphant look, leaned against the window, her eyes full of mockery, as if to say, your trip here was wasted; with me here, you can’t harm Hao Jingjing.

Zhao Yu knew the hospital where Hao Jingjing’s grandmother stayed, but he had no mind to go there now.

With Hao Jingjing gone by car, Zhao Yu too lost his will and began to wander aimlessly.

“Young man, young man…”

As he walked, suddenly someone approached and pulled at him.

Zhao Yu stopped, turning around somewhat blankly.

He was faced with a middle-aged woman wearing heavy makeup.
