"...That's not because you're trying to create an innocent image."

"Why did I put on this innocent persona with you back then? Just to pick you up?" Lu Yibei finally raised his voice a little.

Back then, it was still the era of young, inexperienced heroes...

"Really?"

"Really not."

"Really?"

"Really not!"

“…”

Ji Qing pursed her lips, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn upwards.

…This is actually the first time.

From then on, all those firsts belonged to her…

Ji Qingqian plans to collect all the achievement trophies in Lu Yibei's romance route, all the way to platinum.

…

Meanwhile, Xia Li was overjoyed.

After seeing Lu Yibei being taken away by Ji Qingqian, she stood with her hands on her small hips, laughing wildly and unrestrainedly:

"I knew it! Brother Bei is on a completely different level from everyone else. He's quick to make a move. They've been holding hands for just a few days! So awesome!"

Li Si chuckled as he glanced at the little girl, then at the somewhat disheveled Zhou Zhou.

And Zhao Xun, who followed, thought for a moment:

"Let's go take a look."

Xia Li glanced back at him, somewhat disdainfully: "Didn't you say before that you weren't interested in this kind of thing? Why are you so gossipy now?"

Li Si adjusted his glasses:

"Lu Yibei is supposed to be dragged along as a scapegoat... no, I mean, he's supposed to showcase his charm to the freshmen at the welcome party, so you should at least give him a little attention..."

"You meant to say 'coolie,' right? You almost said 'coolie,' didn't you!?"

Li Si didn't answer, letting Xia Li bounce around him:

"Besides, isn't Lu Yibei your good friend?"

"I have a feeling you're up to no good, you old fox!" Xia Li said.

Li Si smiled wryly.
