Chapter 1060: 1045. Locke Side Story (14) Chapter 1060: 1045. Locke Side Story (14) Bai Jue touched his forehead, this kid couldn’t be more direct, didn’t he see that Black Jack’s face had gone completely dark?

Black Jack’s blue eyes paused slightly, “Do you care a lot?”

Jian Luo raised an eyebrow, “Not really, it’s just that Bai Jue kept asking me about this in the car, and I asked for him, I remember we seemed to have an agreement, that whichever of us liked someone we had to tell each other right away.”

Towards the end, a mysterious sense of suffocation welled up in his chest.

Bai Jue suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply, it was chillingly cold.

He rubbed his arms and, looking at Black Jack’s somber face, silently averted his gaze.

Black Jack took a step forward, his dark eyes drilling into Jian Luo, “What if I say, I’m considering starting a relationship with her?”

Jian Luo was startled by his rarely seen seriousness, but he quickly recovered, “Black Jack, what’s wrong with you?”

“Answer my question just now.” Black Jack said in a steady voice.

Jian Luo stepped back, “Then start dating, if it makes you happy, that’s fine.”

In an instant, Black Jack’s fingers tensed up fiercely, his gaze shifted away lightly, and those azure eyes quickly flashed a hint of hurt.

Bai Jue couldn’t bear to look, “Well, how about we head back to the Manor and talk then?”

Looking at how things had gotten, it really was…

“I still have some matters to deal with, you guys go on and have fun.” Black Jack spoke calmly and then left without looking back.

“Bai Jue, Black Jack seems really upset, has he encountered some difficult matter?” Jian Luo looked at Black Jack’s somewhat desolate figure and asked Bai Jue.

Bai Jue wiped his nose, having completely made someone angry without realizing what had happened, this Luo Xiaobai was either really dumb or pretending to be stupid.

“People who are in love for the first time are probably not very emotionally stable.” He said with an implied meaning, but unfortunately, Jian Luo did not catch on for the moment.

In the ensuing days, when Jian Luo saw Black Jack again, it was in Jian Qing’s study room.

“Sister, do you want to go to the shooting range at headquarters this afternoon?”

Pushing open the door, Jian Luo looked up and saw the person sitting at the desk, pausing in his steps.

Black Jack flipped through the documents without casting a glance at him as he used to.

Jian Qing also noticed that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat off, her eyes shifting between them, “Luoluo, why are you standing at the door?”

Jian Luo stepped inside, pulling out the chair next to Black Jack and sitting down.

“Are you guys discussing something?”

Jian Qing hummed in affirmation, “Are you going to the shooting range this afternoon?”

“Bai Jue said he’s coming over this afternoon, and I don’t have class, he suggested going to the shooting range,” Jian Luo said while stealing glances at Black Jack with the corner of his eye.

Jian Qing pursed her lips and smiled, “Black Jack, are you going too?”

Black Jack sketched a few lines with a pen on the document, “I have to return to Y Country tonight, I still have some things to deal with this afternoon.”

Jian Qing held back her laughter, it really seemed like he was holding a grudge.

Hearing that he was leaving again that night, Jian Luo inadvertently showed a touch of loss that even he himself had not realized.

“You guys continue talking, I’m going to go downstairs,” Jian Luo said.

Jian Qing responded with an okay, Jian Luo glanced at Black Jack, who was still looking down at the documents, completely ignoring him.

The expression on Jian Luo’s face was indescribably complex, and he walked out quickly.

As the door closed, Black Jack’s pen paused, and the ink spread into faint traces on the paper.

“Did you and Luoluo have an argument?” Jian Qing leaned back, casually observing the person opposite her.

Black Jack, “No.”

Jian Qing pierced through his lie, “Whenever you two fight, it’s written all over your faces. Still, you say there’s nothing, so what was it about this time?”

Black Jack looked down and remained silent.

“I heard someone confessed to you at school? Or was it a daughter of a family friend?” Jian Qing asked at a leisurely pace.

Black Jack asked, “Did Bai Jue tell you?”

Jian Qing’s lips curved slightly, “Does that really matter?”

Black Jack did not answer, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

Jian Qing wasn’t in a hurry, propping her chin with one hand, her black eyes quietly watching him.

After a long while, Black Jack finally spoke, as if he had made a great decision, “Jian Qing, I like him.”

“Him, which him?” Jian Qing feigned confusion.

Black Jack met her gaze, “I’ve fallen for Jian Luo.”

The smile at Jian Qing’s lips slowly faded, “I thought you would keep this secret forever. Then, you tell me now, what do you plan to do about it?”

Black Jack opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Jian Qing was three years younger than him, but her mind was much more mature than that of the adults. Speaking about this matter in front of her, he certainly didn’t have much confidence.

“Black Jack, you just outright told me, aren’t you afraid I’ll keep Luoluo at a distance from you because of this?” Jian Qing’s fingertips arched, lightly tapping the table.

After a moment of thought, Black Jack said earnestly, “Jian Qing, I am serious about him.”

“So what? You should see that right now, Luoluo only sees you as family, a brother. He only depends on you, not the kind of like you have for him.” Jian Qing spoke cruelly.

Black Jack fell silent. Jian Qing was right, Jian Luo’s dependence on him was just a habit that had grown from childhood, and it was merely one-sided on his part.

After a moment, his voice hoarse, he asked, “So what are you going to do?”

Jian Qing suddenly smiled, changing the subject, “You haven’t come these past few days, and Luoluo has been downcast. He even messed up his German exam—don’t be at odds with him anymore. Go down and see him.”

Black Jack looked at her, puzzled, meeting the smile in her eyes. The question he wanted to ask got stuck in his throat.

He signed his name on the document, then stood up and left.

At the doorway, Jian Qing’s voice followed from behind.

“Actually, his possessiveness and dependence on you far exceed your imagination, and he has yet to realize that.”

Black Jack’s hand tightened on the door handle, his eyes flashing with complexity, then he opened the door and walked out.

Jian Qing picked up the photo frame on the table, looking at the four people huddled together in the picture, a faint smile spreading across her lips.

When a person is on the verge of sinking into the dark abyss, how could they bear to let go of that glimmer of hope they’ve finally grasped!

The living room was unusually quiet, with several boxes of ice cream laid out on the table, each of a different flavor. Jian Luo was curled up on the sofa, with a box of mango-flavored ice cream in his hand, eating away.

He scooped one spoonful after another, continuously popping them into his mouth.

“Jian Luo, who gave you permission to eat so much ice cream?” Black Jack descended the stairs, saw the array of ice cream boxes on the table, and his face suddenly darkened.

He strode over, directly snatching away the half-eaten box of ice cream from him.

Already feeling wronged from being given the cold shoulder for no reason, Jian Luo was upset when Black Jack took his ice cream as soon as he arrived, “What are you doing?”

Black Jack saw the empty ice cream boxes on the table and frowned even more deeply.
