After receiving the letter, Ji Yu quietly returned to the Lu family. Today happened to be the monthly holiday, and there were not many people in the academy.

When Ji Yu arrived at the Lu family, it was almost dark. The Lu family was waiting for him to come back for dinner.

Before Ji Yu washed his hands and sat down, he clasped his hands, lowered them, and bowed in salute.

Then he said, "Uncle, aunt, brother-in-law, sister. I'm really sorry for being a little late after class because of a lot of homework. If you come back late next time, you don't have to wait for me, just leave me a bite of food."

The Lu family didn't have so many rules. When they saw Ji Yu bowing, they quickly waved their hands and said, "It's okay."

Lu Chengruo was unhappy. They were all waiting for you to eat, but you apologized to the four of them, but ignored me. You started by making sarcastic remarks, "So I'm the dispensable person in this family!"

Ji Yu quickly bowed and said, "Don't be offended, sister. I am sorry for my impoliteness."

Only then did Lu Chengruo stop the car and said, "That's it."

After dinner, Ji Yu did not hide from Lu Chengruo for the first time today. Instead, he followed her from time to time.

"If you follow me again, you will go into my room." Lu Chengruo reminded him.

Ji Yu started to bow again, but Lu Chengruo interrupted him and said, "Don't give me these empty words. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Ji Yu then spoke hesitantly, "I heard that Sister Lu has a close relationship with Miss Gu. Can you help me arrange a meeting with Miss Gu tomorrow?"

Seeing him blushing and he was timid, Lu Chengruo couldn't help but question him, "I know Gu Qingqing is beautiful. But she's not the one that you're obsessed with! She has a fiancé! She's two years older than you! But you don't care at all."

"I do have an urgent matter to discuss with Miss Gu, please don't misunderstand me, Sister Lu. If you are unwilling to help, I will think of another way. Sorry for disturbing you." Ji Yu finished explaining and prepared to leave.

"Forget it! I just happened to have an appointment with Gu Qingqing to go to a temple outside the city to pray to Buddha tomorrow. You can go with me secretly tomorrow! But if she doesn't want to see you, I can't do anything about it." Lu Chengruo said to Ji Yu's back.

"Thank you, Sister Lu." After Ji Yu bowed, he hurriedly took his leave.

The next morning, Lu Chengruo got on Gu Qingqing's carriage, while Ji Yu went out alone in a carriage.

After a while, the carriage carrying several people arrived at Yunshan Temple.

Lu Chengruo helped to arrange an appointment with Gu Qingqing at the back hill of the temple.

When Ji Yu walked over, Gu Qingqing was enjoying the cool under a tree. She had rolled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth arms and slender white wrists.

Under the sunlight, Gu Qingqing's skin was as white as cream and white as snow, and she looked like a beautiful painting, as if she was not of this world.

"Young Master Ji, this is the second time you've stared at me in a daze." Gu Qingqing said jokingly.

Ji Yu was interrupted by his voice and came back to her senses. She bowed and saluted without raising her head. "I am so sorry. I have offended you again today."

"Then do you have any poems or essays to send you off today?" Gu Qingqing continued to joke with him.

"As long as Miss Qingqing wants it, then of course there is something for you." Ji Yu still lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her again, as if Ji Yu's soul would be hooked away if he looked at her again.

"When I first saw the lotus, I was intoxicated by its beauty. When I looked at it from afar, it was as beautiful as an angel." These two lines of poetry flashed through Ji Yu's mind and he blurted them out.

"You kid are really good at praising people." Gu Qingqing said with a sneer.

"I'm not a child anymore. I'm fourteen years old this year. By the beginning of next year, I will be the youngest tribute scholar." Ji Yu said angrily.

He didn't like being treated like a child at all. He had lived for 90 years in his two lives combined! He wanted to be treated like an adult.

"Okay, okay, you're not a child." Gu Qingqing touched his head and said, "You've indeed grown a lot taller than last month."

"Gu Qingqing, please respect me. I am an adult man, and I really have something to ask you today. Don't touch me, otherwise I will misunderstand." Ji Yu said a long and confusing speech.

"What misunderstanding, little brother?" Gu Qingqing looked at Ji Yu's angry look and suddenly found him so cute.

"I misunderstood that you like me too. Because I like you! If you put your hands on me, I will definitely misunderstand that you like me too!" Ji Yu explained in a serious tone.

"Kid, stop joking. I'm two years older than you! Tell me what you want from me today!" Gu Qingqing originally wanted to tease Ji Yu, but when she saw Ji Yu's serious expression, she quickly changed the subject.

Why does the target of this strategy always treat himself as a child? He always jokes with me because of his young age. [Can you change to an adult identity next time? ] Ji Yu complained to the system crazily.

Ji Yu then remembered the serious matter. He took out the envelope from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingqing, "Sister Qingqing, you can read it here. I'll accompany you."

Gu Qingqing took the envelope from him and wanted to make a joke, asking if it was a love letter from Ji Yu. But when she took it and saw the words on the cover, she felt very familiar.

She opened it with a little trembling, pulled out the paper, glanced at the contents, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Sister Qingqing." Ji Yan watched from the side and shouted worriedly.

He had never seen a girl cry before, and didn't know how to comfort her.
