"Xiao Jie, where did the male lead go?" Qiao Qiu asked.

Qiao Qiu had asked about the male lead's whereabouts once today, and to prevent her from asking again, the ring had specially installed a tracking system for him. Now it doesn't need to go through the trouble of searching; it can directly locate his position. The ring glanced at it and quickly gave its answer, "The male lead is sketching at Wanghu Lake today."

"Sketching by the lake? What's going on?" Qiao Qiu said this with her eyes closed, but she knew very well why the male lead had come. Would someone who loves playing games and aspires to be a streamer suddenly become so passionate about drawing? Unless he had a completely different mind like her, he was definitely here for the cuteness factor.

ring:"……"

Master, you can keep pretending all you want. Do you really think you don't know why the male lead came here?

"Xiao Jie, where does the male lead live?" Qiao Qiu asked.

“He stays at a guesthouse not far from here called Hongyun Farmhouse,” the ring said.

Qiao Qiu nodded and asked again, "Can we see it from here?"

The ring said, "Yes, although that guesthouse isn't on as high ground as this one, it's built with many tall buildings."

While Qiao Qiu was asking her questions, she had been lying down for a while and felt less tired, so she got up, opened the door, walked to the balcony, looked around at the guesthouses, and asked, "Which guesthouse is the ring from?"

Although the location is high up, there are more than one other guesthouse on this floor that can be seen from here.

"The house to your right, the one with wisteria growing on the balcony, is it."

Qiao Qiu looked in the direction indicated by the ring and indeed saw the guesthouse.

It's not far from here; it's hidden among several guesthouses, but it still stands out because of its wisteria blossoms.

The balcony of Hongyun Farmhouse is not big, about two meters wide. The pillars and the balcony are covered with wisteria, and Qiao Qiu can see the clusters of light purple flowers very clearly.

It's a very eye-catching spot, and if you don't attract any onlookers, hiding behind the wisteria flowers is also a great place for observation.

It has to be said that Zhou Nan knows how to flirt with girls; he even chose the perfect locations.

Qiao Qiu sneered. Even if she didn't end up with Gao Meng, she would never give her up to such scum.

She turned around, about to leave, when her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it belonged to Zhou Nan.

Qiao Qiu sneered and answered the phone, "What is it?"

"Qiuqiu, I'm so sorry, but right now, you're the only person I know. I know you're also in the ancient city, can you help me?" Zhou Nan's tone was very gentle, almost pleading.

Sure enough, this was Zhou Nan's best point of attack. If it were the old Qiao Qiu, she would definitely have softened and agreed to his request.

The Qiao Qiu of the past loved so humbly, yet she still retained a shred of dignity. No, before she died, she cast aside even that last bit of dignity.

Zhou Nan likely anticipated this, which is why he dared to call her. He believed that no matter what she changed into, she would still be the soft-hearted Qiao Qiu at heart.

"What do you need my help with?" Qiao Qiu asked calmly.

"I painted a picture at Wanghu Lake today and would like to ask you for your opinion," Zhou Nan said sincerely.

Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing Zhou Nan's cleverness. Not only did he not mention Gao Meng, but his words also seemed to be an attempt to reconcile with her.

If she's not mistaken, this guy is probably waiting for her next question.

Qiao Qiu stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then decided to grant his request.

"Your girlfriend is good at painting, why don't you go after her? I don't have the hobby of being a mistress, so I'm not interested."

Qiao Qiu was about to hang up the phone when Zhou Nan's urgent voice came from the other end, "Qiuqiu, don't hang up yet. To tell you the truth, Nana has already dumped me."

Was Zhou Nan the one who got dumped? Qiao Qiu really wanted to say that God had eyes.

But she just didn't believe in fate. She thought everything would favor the protagonist.

Qiao Qiu suddenly wondered if it was because the female lead was standing next to her that she was having such a smooth time?

Qiao Qiu recalled her past experiences of trying to please the protagonist, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

As long as the protagonist is willing to take care of her, and she doesn't do anything reckless, everything she does goes smoothly.

"That's your problem, it has nothing to do with me." Qiao Qiu said this because she felt Zhou Nan was definitely lying to her. With his protagonist aura, how could he possibly be dumped by someone else?

"Qiuqiu, Nana broke up with me because I couldn't forget you."

That's pretty obvious. He's clearly a hopeless romantic. Qiao Qiu suddenly couldn't figure out what Zhou Nan was up to.

Isn't this just using her to get close to Gao Meng? If he rekindles his old feelings for her, how can he be with Gao Meng?

Qiao Qiu stroked her chin, still feeling that Zhou Nan didn't truly intend to reconcile with her. "Zhou Nan, I really don't know what courage you have to say such a thing. If you were truly sincere towards me, you wouldn't have turned against me over a game. In your heart, the game is more important than me." As Qiao Qiu finished speaking, she unconsciously picked up some of the original owner's emotions, and her voice rose slightly.

"Qiuqiu, I..."

"Okay, stop talking. I won't help you." After saying that, Qiao Qiu hung up the phone and stared blankly at it.

Zhou Nan seemed genuinely interested in her, but she was certain there was something fishy going on, and his real target was definitely Gao Meng. However, she was now a little confused about Zhou Nan's intentions.

Is Zhou Nan really that stupid to call just to get yelled at by her?

"Qiuqiu, is that Zhou Nan calling?" Gao Meng walked to her side.

Qiao Qiu was slightly taken aback and looked at the door behind her. "The soundproofing is really bad."

Gao Meng was both amused and exasperated. "You're planning to keep me from hearing this? Then why don't you go out and answer it?"

Qiao Qiu glanced at the twenty-odd steps of the stairs and said, "Fine, you can just listen to it."

Seeing her cowardly appearance, Gao Meng couldn't help but laugh. "Qiuqiu, you should exercise."

"You've been walking all afternoon, at least four or five hours straight... Aren't you tired?" Qiao Qiu suddenly remembered that when they came back, Gao Meng seemed to be perfectly fine.

"I'm not tired. We weren't walking fast. We walked all afternoon, or rather, we took a stroll all afternoon. You ate quite a bit and sat for a long time in between." Gao Meng calculated that it wasn't as long as Qiao Qiu had said.

"Okay, okay, I can't exercise anymore. I'm too lazy to stick to anything." Qiao Qiu felt that all her good habits from so many years had been ruined in these last few months. Bad habits are too easy to form, but good habits are hard to maintain.

"I'll exercise with you," Gao Meng continued to persuade, feeling that even if she were raising pigs, she wanted to raise healthy ones.
