"What score did you get on your first test?" Lu Yibei asked.

“I’m eighty points behind you,” Ji Qingqian said.

She was extremely upset about the number; if she had studied hard before, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

“Eighty…that’s not low either. You can definitely get a bachelor’s degree there,” Lu Yibei said.

"I have high standards for myself, is that not acceptable?" Ji Qingqian said calmly.

"OK."

Lu Yibei asked in a low voice, "Don't your family members say anything to you?"

The National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) is the most important event for students.

Repeating a grade doesn't guarantee a better score than the first time.

Lu Yibei felt that Qingqian's behavior was very irrational, and that she should have considered her future first.

"I've already said that my family adopts a free-range approach to raising our children."

Ji Qingqian said, "Besides, have you forgotten?"

"ah?"

"My family is rich."

Lu Yibei: ...

I remember now.

It turns out that he hadn't considered things carefully enough; in fact, Lady Qingqian had already planned out her future.

So, good kids shouldn't learn from this.

Ji Qingqian muttered under her breath, "Idiot."

What could Lu Yibei say? He could only give a thumbs up:

"Awesome!"

Ji Qingqian placed her hands on the ground where she was sitting, leaned back with her slender body, and looked up at the dark sky.

"Abei."

"Um."

"You said you wanted to give me a hug the first time you met me."

"Um……"

"But since it was our first meeting, we couldn't do anything too outrageous, so we decided to do it today."

"right."

"It's been more than a week since we first met."

"almost."

Ji Qingqian's calm gaze fell on Lu Yibei:

"You've already thought you could hug someone after just one week. I don't even want to know what you'll do if I give you another month."

Lu Yibei quickly retorted, "No way! Don't make me sound like some kind of pervert!"

Ji Qingqian narrowed her eyes: "Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes, yes," Lu Yibei said, "probably, maybe, um."

Ji Qingqian reiterated: "No matter what, you scared me."

My heart is still racing...

Ji Qingqian finds it difficult to handle these unexpected situations, whether it was the indirect kiss during their first barbecue, picking watermelon seeds, or this hug...

"I'm sorry..." Lu Yibei apologized again.

"Next time, you should speak first," Ji Qingqian said.

"??"

This is something Lu Yibei can't handle.

Ji Qingqian then slowly said, "It can only be done after I approve it."

"No, can this still be approved?" Lu Yibei asked.

Mind-bending, fucking mind-bending.

Ji Qingqian replied indifferently, "It depends on my mood."

That's weird, fucking weird.

Does this mean that it's reasonable for Lady Qingqian to ask for a hug when she's in a good mood?

"actually,"

Ji Qingqian's tone softened: "Same as you."

"ah?"

"I wanted to hug you when we first met, but I was too shy."

"I see..."

Then, Ji Qingqian expressed his disdain:

“But I’m still restraining myself, while you’ve become a slave to desire. You’re really pathetic, Lu Yibei.”

"No, don't make it sound so strange, heroine!"

"Isn't that right?"

"That's true, but...wouldn't it be better to put it another way?"

"for example."

"After a period of getting to know each other better, they bravely took the first step, or something like that?"

"Your first step is to launch a sneak attack? It would be perfectly reasonable for me to call the police and have you arrested right now." Ji Qingqian said expressionlessly.

"No, heroine! Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."

Lu Yibei clasped his hands together above his head, begging for forgiveness. Ji Qingqian's eyebrows curved slightly, quite satisfied with his attitude of admitting his mistake.

The two sat for a while longer, and it was almost eleven o'clock.

Lu Yibei suggested, "Let's go back, it's getting late."

Just as Ji Qingqian took out her phone to check the time, she received a call from Chu Chu.

“Roommate,” Ji Qingqian said to Lu Yibei.

Lu Yibei nodded, and casually checked his phone messages.

The girls' dorm is really united. Look, not a single guy from the 404 boys' group called him.

The world is cold and indifferent.

Only Zhao Sun left a message.

[Sun'er: Returning?]

Lu Yibei's studio apartment, rented for three months, is considered a short-term rental, and the monthly rent is relatively expensive.

Renting for six months is considered a long-term lease, and long-term leases are cheaper.

The total rent difference was only a little over a month, so he rented the place until the end of the year.

Sometimes he's busy with work, and even though his son doesn't say anything, he doesn't want to bother them late at night.

My son is still young and growing, so sleep is very important for him.

They probably thought he, as the father, had gone back to the safe house.

...

After Ji Qingqian hurriedly went downstairs, her roommates began to discuss the story she had told.

The most important question is whether the friend of her friend is actually herself.

Then again, a friend's friend can be yourself...

But is she the male lead or the female lead?

In the story, the male lead likes the female lead, and the female lead likes the villainous second male lead...

But no matter how you look at it, this ice queen doesn't seem like she'd ever fall in love with anyone.

Besides, the male lead ended up with a tragic ending...

Wang Jue has obtained a key clue—Abei.

She felt she could understand some of it, but not all of it; it was all a bit of a mystery.

"I think it might be Ji Qingqian. However, the possibility of it being Ji Qingqian is not very high."

When Chu Chu uttered those words, Ma Jiaojiao had already finished showering and was about to rest, and Wang Jue was also lying in bed.
