Song Qi returned to her room and found that she had accumulated quite a few more clothes in her walk-in closet. She picked out a few items to take back with her when she went to work.

When Song Qi heard the knocking, he wasn't surprised at all; it would have been strange if Shu Wangyue hadn't come to knock.

She opened the door and looked at the person standing in the doorway.

Shu Wangyue's eyes were red, and tears were welling up in them.

"What's wrong with you?" Song Qi asked, arms crossed.

Shu Wangyue sniffed: "I've liked President Huo since I was a child, don't try to take him from me."

Song Qi: ...

"Oh." Song Qi put his hands in his pockets. "You've told me this eight hundred times already."

Shu Wangyue suppressed her twitching lips and glanced at Song Qi: "Don't you have any feelings for President Huo? He's handsome, capable, and has a clean reputation with no scandals."

"So, do you want me to have feelings for him or not?" Song Qi raised an eyebrow at Shu Wangyue.

Shu Wangyue was silent for a few seconds, then glared at Song Qi: "You'd better not have any ideas."

Is there anything else?

"No."

Song Qi took a step back and closed the door.

It seems that every time Shu Wangyue returns home, she turns on the "dislike" switch.

It is expected that Shu Wangyue will make another breathtaking move tonight.

Huo Chengye arrived at the Shu family home at seven o'clock sharp. Out of politeness, Song Qi tidied herself up a bit.

Shu Wangyue was dressed up in her finest attire. When she saw Huo Chengye, her eyes lit up instantly, and two blushes quickly spread across her cheeks when he looked at her.

Shu's father looked at Shu Wangyue with a rather unpleasant expression.

After chatting with Huo Chengye for a few minutes, Shu's father waved to Song Qi.

"Chengye, this is my youngest daughter, Shu Nanyin." Shu's father took Song Qi's hand and looked at Huo Chengye.

"Hello, Miss Shu." Huo Chengye nodded to Song Qi.

"Hello, Mr. Huo."

The two looked at each other, neither showing any particular emotion.

Mr. Shu noticed the tense atmosphere and beckoned everyone to the dining table.

Song Qi and Shu Wangyue sat on one side, with Huo Chengye sitting opposite them.

The other person ate very elegantly, clearly showing good manners.

On the surface, the male lead doesn't seem like a simpleton, but we'll have to get to know him to find out.

Huo Chengye noticed Song Qi's probing gaze and became even more careful with his movements; the recording could be used as a model.

"Mr. Huo, are you free lately?" Shu Wangyue asked, looking at Huo Chengye with a shy and timid expression, when no one spoke.

"No."

"When will you be free? I'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you for taking care of me."

Shu's father looked at Shu Wangyue, trying to stop her with his eyes.

However, Shu Wangyue pretended not to see it.

Huo Chengye paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still, and gave Shu Wangyue a questioning look: "I'm sorry, Miss Shu, I don't think I've ever taken care of you."

Mr. Shu rubbed his temples, and Mrs. Shu patted him on the shoulder.

Song Qi watched the two of them as if he were watching a play.

Shu Wangyue didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if she hadn't noticed Huo Chengye's dislike for her.

"Mr. Huo, do you not live here anymore? I haven't seen you in the neighborhood for a long time."

Huo Chengye glanced at Shu Wangyue: "Mm."

"Why?" Shu Wangyue sighed.

Song Qi took a sip of water and glanced at Shu Wangyue: "You'd better not ask."

"What are you doing, kid?" Shu Wangyue glanced at Song Qi, her expression somewhat displeased. "President Huo, my sister is just being silly, please don't be angry."

Shu's father slammed his chopsticks down, startling Shu Wangyue.

"Stop eating and go upstairs."

"Dad? Why should I?" Shu Wangyue frowned, looking dissatisfied.

"Go upstairs!"

After a few seconds of stalemate between Shu Wangyue and her father, Shu Wangyue finally slammed her chopsticks on the table and went upstairs.

"I'm sorry, this child is disobedient and has caused you trouble." Mr. Shu sighed. It was really embarrassing for someone his age to have to apologize to a junior.

"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."

After finishing his meal, Song Qi said something and returned to the living room, since Huo Chengye and Shu's father seemed to have something else to say.

Shu's mother also left quickly, leaving only the two of them.

Mr. Shu glanced towards the living room and said, "Sigh, my daughter was recently found. She has a gentle nature. Although our Shu family is involved in the entertainment industry, it's not much. I hope Mr. Huo can take care of her in the future."

"Of course." Huo Chengye recalled Song Qi's gaze just now, and it really didn't seem like that of a soft-hearted person.

After finishing their meal, the two went upstairs and played chess for a while.

Shu Wangyue didn't come downstairs until Huo Chengye left. Seeing Huo Chengye's reluctant expression, she escorted him all the way to the front door.

When they returned, it was another earth-shattering event.

Song Qi went straight upstairs; thankfully, the house was fairly well soundproofed.

She opened her phone and saw a message on WeChat.

Huo Chengye added her as a friend.

Song Qi raised an eyebrow and clicked "accept".

If Shu Wangyue knew that she had added Huo Chengye as a friend, she would probably jump up and down.

After adding him as a friend, she didn't say anything to him, and Huo Chengye didn't say anything either; clearly, neither of them wanted to talk to the other.

Song Qi's graduation banquet was held at a manor in the suburbs of the Shu family's city. The people who could attend today were basically celebrities from City A.

Lu's parents naturally came as well. Looking at the people around him, Lu Nanyan felt quite emotional.

The three of them didn't seem out of place with their surroundings; their father had already spoken to everyone to make them as comfortable as possible.

Song Qi followed behind Shu's father, recognizing people, his mind suddenly filled with a bunch of useless information.

After following Mr. Shu, she would then travel around with Mrs. Shu.

When the banquet officially began, Shu's father formally announced Song Qi's identity.

They were standing on a small platform on the second floor. Song Qi looked down at the people below and immediately spotted Shu Wangyue standing with several girls.

I don't know what they were saying, but judging from their actions, they were discussing something unpleasant.

Shi Xinyu was also downstairs, her mind a bit confused, and she checked with her girlfriends several times.

By the time Song Qi was finally free to move around, an hour had passed, and he was immediately blocked by Shi Xinyu as soon as he stepped outside.

"You actually kept this from me for so long, that's too much!" Shi Xinyu looked at Song Qi with dissatisfaction.

Song Qi smiled and said, "Now you know, don't you?"

Shi Xinyu glanced at Shu Wangyue not far away and lowered her voice: "I was wondering why Shu Wangyue was always targeting you. Now that your identity has been confirmed, she will probably go even further."

“She’s so naive, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Song Qi shook his glass at Shi Xinyu.

Shi Xinyu shook her head at Song Qi: "Then you haven't seen Shu Wangyue when she's crazy."

"It's nothing." Song Qi saw Lu's parents and walked over.

Shi Xinyu followed and greeted Lu's parents.

Lu's parents looked at Song Qi with complicated expressions.

"Mom and Dad, Xiaoxiao, aren't you happy that I got into A University?" Song Qi hugged the two of them.

"Of course I'm happy." Mrs. Lu took a deep breath and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Lu Nanyan sighed from the side: "Sis, why are you unhappy? They are so happy, and then they rewarded me with a bunch of practice exercises. I'm going crazy."

"Write well." Song Qi patted Lu Nanyan on the shoulder.

Lu Nanyan glanced at Shi Xinyu: "Um, sister, could you give me your autograph later?"

"Oh? Sure." Shi Xinyu glanced at Song Qi.

“My friend really likes you,” Lu Nanyan said.

"Yeah?"

Lu Nanyan said, "Yes, he said he really likes your personality."

"Arrogant and domineering?" Song Qi raised an eyebrow.

Shi Xinyu's face darkened: "My persona is clearly that of a kind and gentle person."

"Oh, really? Do you believe me?" Song Qi looked at Lu Nanyan.

Shi Xinyu also looked over.

Lu Nanyan:......

He hesitated for a moment, then patted his pockets before quickly changing the subject: "Sis, do you have a pen? I didn't bring one."

Shi Xinyu's face darkened, and she narrowed her eyes.

Lu Nanyan was so frightened that he hid behind his parents.

"What are you afraid of? I'm very gentle." Shi Xinyu smiled.

"Try to stop with that snarling smile first," Song Qi said, taking a sip of juice. He noticed Shu Wangyue sneaking off in a certain direction not far away.

System NZ spoke up at just the right moment: "Host, follow them."

"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be back in a bit." Song Qi shoved the cup into Shi Xinyu's hand. "Friend, have a chat with my parents, can you help me out?"

Shi Xinyu nodded in a daze, only realizing something after she finished: When did I become your friend?

She glanced at Song Qi's retreating figure, then looked at Lu Nanyan again, giving him a kind smile: "Little brother, tell me, where did I not act gently?"

Mr. and Mrs. Lu exchanged a glance, then decisively abandoned Lu Nanyan and went elsewhere.

Song Qi entered through the door that Shu Wangyue had entered before; behind the door was a corridor.

She went inside and closed the door again.

The door shut out the noise from outside, and the corridor was silent.

Where is she?

"Please explore the map on your own," said System NZ.

Song Qi was somewhat speechless. He walked to the first door and knocked on it.

After a while, a sound came from inside the door.

Huo Chengye opened the door.

The two people looked at each other.

Huo Chengye's face was very pale and flushed.

Oh, here comes a melodramatic scene.

"Sorry, I knocked on the wrong door." Song Qi took a step back.

Huo Chengye smirked, staring at Song Qi with a hint of mockery in his smile: "Are you in cahoots with Shu Wangyue?"

Song Qi: Here it comes, a melodramatic misunderstanding between the male and female leads!
