Chapter 73

The boy who came to ask the question was completely dumbfounded.

The corridor was short, and his girlfriend heard what Qin Su said without him having to relay it.

The girl clung to the edge of the wall, tentatively revealing half of her flushed face, whether from shyness or excitement, it was hard to tell.

Her voice was barely audible: "Senior, are you serious?"

Qin Su smiled and asked in return, "Do you hope I'm serious?"

The girl glanced at her, stomped her foot, and turned to run away.

The boy was dumbfounded.

The brief exchange gave him the feeling that "I shouldn't be here, but under the car."

He seemed to have learned something in a daze.

Qin Su chuckled: "What are you still standing here for? If you don't catch up soon, you'll lose your girlfriend."

The boy then realized what had happened and quickly chased after his girlfriend in the direction she had left.

But after chasing for two steps, he stopped, turned around, and gave Qin Su a thumbs up.

"Senior, you really..." He seemed unable to find a suitable adjective, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "...Awesome!"

"Do you even need to tell me that?" Qin Su waved her hand dismissively, like shooing away a fly. "Go chase after your man."

The boy ran off into the distance.

A few steps behind Qin Su, Cheng Fubai, clutching the bottle, was still somewhat dazed.

The library has front and back entrances, both of which were opened during exam week to reduce crowds.

After buying water from the vending machine downstairs, Cheng Fubai decided to go upstairs through the back door, as it was closer.

He never expected to witness such a scene.

Qin Su had her back to him, so he couldn't see her expression.

But her playful tone, casual banter, and the way she is well aware of her own charm and doesn't hesitate to unleash it are all signs of her charm.

All of these completely overturned Cheng Fubai's perception of her.

Strangely, this subversion did not disappoint him; instead, it aroused his curiosity.

People are sometimes just like that; they find things that are easy to understand boring, but they are eager to get closer to things that are mysterious and difficult to understand.

"Fu Bai?" Qin Su turned to look at him, deliberately asking, "Why aren't you coming over?"

Cheng Fubai walked over and handed her the water.

Qin Su naturally replied, "Thank you."

She didn't mention what had just happened, seemingly unconcerned whether he had seen it or what he thought.

Cheng Fubai, on the other hand, couldn't calm down and became increasingly absent-minded as time went on.

On weekdays, the guests usually eat out at lunchtime, so Qin Su and her friend went to a restaurant near the school.

During the meal, Cheng Fubai couldn't help but ask, "Susu, have you ever been in a relationship before?"

Qin Su frankly replied, "We've talked about it once."

"You've only dated once?" Cheng Fubai asked in surprise. "I thought there must be countless people pursuing you."

Qin Su smiled and said, "I do have many suitors, but I can't just agree to a relationship just because someone likes me."

Cheng Fubai: "Will you be troubled by this?"

"How could that be?" Qin Su asked, puzzled. "Why should I be bothered by other people's choices?"

Cheng Fubai: "But when someone invests their feelings in you, don't you feel pressured?"

"No," Qin Su replied decisively.

She was even a little confused: "We all like money, and I've never seen a bank say that it's under a lot of pressure."

At this moment, she finally showed a bit of her cold side.

"If I have to take responsibility for someone else's feelings, who will take responsibility for me?"

Cheng Fubai was stunned.

He looked at Qin Su, her eyebrows slightly raised, open and honest, and after a long while, he murmured to himself, "You are truly a completely different person from me."

Qin Su glanced at him: "Sounds like there's a story behind this?"

“My last girlfriend…” Cheng Fubai hesitated for a moment, but still said it, “…pursued me for several months…”

It's actually a very cliché story.

It's nothing more than the woman pursuing the man, who initially refused, but seeing her persistent and heartfelt confession, he couldn't bear it.

People around him advised him, "It's not easy for a girl to be so devoted in love," and so he got together with her.

After they got together, they realized that they were not compatible. They had many conflicts and he wanted to break up, but she disagreed.

Although they eventually broke up, the process was very unpleasant and extremely damaging.

This left Cheng Fubai with some psychological trauma, and he dared not get close to romance for several years afterward.

I came to participate in this dating reality show in order to seek an opportunity to resolve my inner conflicts.

Qin Su put down her chopsticks, took a sip of water, and said thoughtfully, "So, don't start a relationship just because of a simple feeling of being moved."

“Yes.” Cheng Fubai smiled bitterly. “Looking back, I think it would have been better to have firmly and repeatedly refused from the beginning. Being soft-hearted only made both of us suffer more.”

It was precisely because of this experience that he admired flamboyant and decisive people even more.

Because that's the kind of person he can't become.

Qin Su was also somewhat lost in thought, which was rare for her.

Cheng Fubai didn't notice that he was preoccupied with something else.

"I heard you have your final exams this week, is that right?"

Qin Su was speechless upon hearing his opening line.

How come everyone knows about her taking an exam?

It must have been Xu Shishi who said it.

Without waiting for Cheng Fubai to ask again, she said directly, "The exam schedule will be released tonight. You can all go together then."

Cheng Fubai adjusted his glasses and smiled politely: "That's great."

...

It was probably because several guests insisted on going that the production team was alerted.

The production team held a quick meeting and decided that this might be a good opportunity for the guests to have some friction with each other, so they could go and film it.

In addition, Qin Su's school is a prestigious one in China, and its dance program is especially renowned, which adds a touch of class to the segment in the variety show.

Therefore, after dinner, some staff members approached Qin Su, hoping that they could accompany her into the school.

Qin Su said, "I can't decide that."

However, she could give the program team the contact information of the school leaders and let them communicate with them themselves.

I don't know how the production team negotiated, but in any case, Qin Su's school agreed.

The examination location was specially changed to a small auditorium.

Qin Su's dance teacher also attached great importance to this filming, and has been making Qin Su and her classmates practice every day for the past few days, striving for perfection.

On Friday, the day of the exam, all the guests got up very early, but Qin Su, the actual examinee, was the last one to come downstairs.

She had just stepped down two steps when everyone in the kitchen and dining room looked over.

Gu Chiyan: "I brewed coffee, it can refresh and invigorate the mind."

Xu Shishi: "I made a new salad sandwich, Su Su, would you like to try it?"

Chu Ge: "Isn't it good luck for the exam? I bought fried dough sticks and eggs."

Cheng Fubai: "Would you like some yogurt cereal?"

Jin Xiao scratched his head: "I'm not good at cooking, so I ordered Cantonese dim sum. It'll be here soon."

Xue Jianxing smiled gently and pushed the bread slice covered in grape jam forward.

Ye Yan's hands were empty, but he remained calm.

He glanced at his watch and said calmly, "I wonder if we'll have enough time?"

“I had someone buy some drinks and send them to the school. Su Su can go to the school first and chat with her teachers and classmates while she drinks.”

Everyone: "..."

Holy crap!
