As Shen Shiqing packed up his things, Xia and Lu Jingchu came downstairs, Wen Xinran and her group had already left.

Just as Shen Shiqing was about to step out the door, he heard Xing Jianan's voice.

He was calling her.

Why hasn't he left yet?

Shen Shiqing turned to look at him. Xing Jianan's expression was strange; it wasn't cold, but rather tinged with a lot of emotion.

Nervous, regretful, and at a loss.

Too many to list.

"Shi Qing, let's talk." He finally said what he had wanted to say for a long time.

Shen Shiqing knew there was nothing to talk about, after all, she was not the Shen Shiqing in the original book.

All she could do was avoid getting entangled with these people.

“I don’t think we have anything to talk about.” Shen Shiqing turned and left, walking forward with Shi Xia and Lu Jingchu following behind.

Walk to the parking lot.

"I'll take you back," Lu Jingchu said first.

Shen Shiqing originally wanted to refuse, but Shi Xia interrupted him.

"Sister Shi, let's go together. It's on the way anyway, so we can ride in Brother Lu's car." Shi Xia didn't seem to be lying.

"Huh? You know where I live?" Shen Shiqing didn't remember saying that.

"I know, it's Yunqi Huating. Brother Lu lives there too, it's on the way."

How did Shi Xia know?

"I just know." Shi Xia received a deliberate glance from someone and naturally knew she couldn't tell the truth.

"Alright, then I'll respectfully comply." Since he didn't want to say, there was no need for Shen Shiqing to ask.

Just as Shen Shiqing was about to sit in the back of the car, Xiao Shixia rushed out and stopped him.

"Oh, Sister Shi, I'd like to lie down and rest for a bit. Why don't you sit in the passenger seat, Sister Shi?"

"Hmm... alright then." Shen Shiqing looked at Shi Xia's appearance and, thinking that she was also quite tired, agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Lu." Shen Shiqing opened the passenger door, got in, and fastened his seatbelt.

"It's no trouble at all."

"Lu Jingchu just smiled, did I see that right?"

Shen Shiqing doubted his own eyes.

"Maybe I'm seeing things. Why would Lu Jingchu laugh for no reason?"

Okay, no, this time I really laughed.

"It's so beautiful!!!!" Even Shen Shiqing wanted to say it was a paradise for those who appreciate beautiful faces!

Of course, Shen Shiqing didn't see that Lu Jingchu's smile deepened, since she was too embarrassed to look.

Shi Xia sat in the back seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel like if I don't let Shi Jie sit in the passenger seat, someone will cut off my allowance.

Thank goodness, my allowance is safe.

But why is someone laughing so...strangely? Are they a little too excited?

I've never seen him like this before.

Did something just happen?

I don't think so. Did I miss something? No, right?

"Didn't Xiaoxia want to lie down for a bit?" Shen Shiqing turned to look at her.

"Ah, right, right, lie down now." Shi Xia pretended to lie down but saw Xing Jianan still standing at the door.

Not moving at all.

Could it be that I've been standing here since just now?

That's strange. What's his relationship with Sister Shi? They don't seem to have any connection.

The car started and drove away.

Shi Xia pondered all the way but still couldn't figure out the relationship between Xing Jianan and Sister Shi, so she couldn't help but ask.

You absolutely need to know this! Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep tonight!!!

Lu Jingchu stopped at the red light.

"Um... well, Sister Shi, I want to ask you a question..." Shi Xia was a little cautious. She always felt that Xing Jianan had feelings for Sister Shi.

"Okay, ask whatever you want." It was rare for Xia Xiaoxia to ask a question.

"So, what's your relationship with Xing Jianan? I felt like he was quite down just now."

"ah?"

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Shi Xia lowered her head and muttered, "Actually, I didn't really want to know that much."

"So you were tossing and turning, scratching your head the whole way, just thinking about this?" Shen Shiqing chuckled.

"Actually, it doesn't matter."

"oh."

"If I had to say there's any connection, it's probably that he's my ex-ex-boyfriend? It's that simple." Shen Shiqing felt that a proper ex should be like they're dead, so what other connection could there be?

"What!!!!?!" Shi Xia jumped up in shock, bumping her head in the process.

"Be careful. Are you surprised?" Shen Shiqing thought for a moment, it seemed that few people in the industry knew that she had also talked with Xing Jianan.

"Haha, I am indeed a bit surprised." Shi Xia looked at the expression on someone's face and could no longer laugh.

"Teacher Lu, the light is green, we can go now," Shen Shiqing reminded Lu Jingchu.

Lu Jingchu finally came to his senses.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Even her apology sounded so pleasant.

Shen Shiqing was still talking to Shi Xia about the topic they had just discussed.

"However, it really doesn't matter now."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." That means someone still has a chance.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just feel that he's not good enough for you, Sister Shi, hahaha."

"Xiao Xia, you really know how to talk." Shen Shiqing couldn't help but want to pat her head again.

"Sister Shi, can I still ask you questions?"

"Of course, I'll answer anything I can." Shen Shiqing leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes. Having someone to chat with made it less boring.

"Did you have a relationship with Qin Shiyue back then?" Shi Xia rested her chin on her hand. "I've heard rumors that you pursued him?"

"He pursued me, but I didn't agree. Later, the gossip media spread the story that I pursued him, but I couldn't be bothered to investigate." Shen Shiqing really didn't take it to heart.

"I knew it! How could Sister Shi be interested in him?" Shi Xia took a deep breath. "Sister Shi, I'll ask one last question! Do you know Song Zhihuai, the non-celebrity guest on this episode?"

"Yes, we know each other, we're quite familiar."

Shi Xia glanced at the person in the driver's seat out of the corner of her eye.

Hmm, that's good. The mood swings don't seem to be too big, and the emotional stability is very good.

The world needs men with stable emotions.

"It can't be either..."

"Yes, ex-boyfriend, or more precisely, ex-fiancé," Shen Shiqing said casually, without any burden.

She even received a nine-figure breakup fee.

"Wait, Sister Shi, let me sort this out. This is a lot of information. Qin Shiyue pursued you, Xing Jianan is your ex-boyfriend, and Song Zhihuai is your ex-boyfriend and ex-fiancé?" Shi Xia's eyes widened.

After all, this is enough to make a mahjong table, and Sister Shi is the winner.

Now that's great, I didn't know I couldn't sleep, and now that I know, I can't sleep at all...

"But I'm not a casual person, I was just blind." Shen Shiqing felt it was necessary to explain.

After all, Lu Jingchu was also there, so it was good to maintain a good image.

"I know! Sister Shi is amazing! It's their fault! The next one will be even better, the next one will be even more well-behaved!"

It was already 7:30 pm when I got back to Yunqi Huating.

Since Shi Xia doesn't live here, Lu Jingchu has to take her back.

Once Shen Shiqing went upstairs, Shi Xia finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brother, why didn't you seem scared at all just now?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Song Zhihuai is Shi Jie's ex-boyfriend! And her ex-fiancé!! Don't you feel any sense of crisis?!"

“Oh, but she said Song Zhihuai is just a rich but immoral and tasteless man.”

"Who said that?"

"Your sister Shi."

"Oh, that's all right now."
