His warm, slender fingertips landed on her slightly furrowed brow, gently smoothing it away.

His fingertip slid down little by little, past the tip of her high nose, and finally to her rosy lips...

The moment the warm touch came, Lu Huai's hand trembled slightly involuntarily.

A tingling, trembling sensation washed over me...

Why did she trust him so much...?

Why are you so good to him...?

Isn't she afraid...?

Someone like him, who craves love, will frantically want to possess even the smallest good thing, wanting it to belong solely to him.

I really... really want to hide her away.

She belonged only to him...

Be him alone, unique.

[Lu Huai's favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 90.]

I want...her.

I want to... hide her away.

She wanted... for him to be the only one in her world, in her eyes, and in her heart.

what to do……

I want to so much...

Lu Huai is a man of action.

Realizing his feelings for Qin Wan, his fingertip lingered on her red lips, reluctant to leave.

But the noodles are getting cold...

She fell asleep while enduring hunger.

This is bad for your health.

Thinking of this, Lu Huai reluctantly withdrew his hand and gently shook Qin Wan.

"Qin Wan, wake up."

"The noodles are cooked, you can eat them now."

Qin Wan opened her eyes sleepily, glanced wearily at the colorful and fragrant noodles on the coffee table, and a faint trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"I don't want to eat anymore..."

"I want to continue sleeping..."

As she spoke, Qin Wan turned over, closed her eyes, and tried to go back to sleep, as if courting death.

Seeing this, Lu Huai quickly pulled her up.

"No, the noodles will get cold soon. You should eat a few bites to fill your stomach."

"You eat it..."

"I'm not hungry anymore..."

As she spoke, Qin Wan pushed Lu Huai's chest, looking disgusted.

"I'm so sleepy, please don't bother me."

Then……

The next second...

Qin Wan felt her body suddenly lift into the air, and she instinctively reached out and tightly hugged the only thing she could use to steady herself... Lu Huai's neck.

At that moment, Qin Wan's drowsiness vanished completely.

She glared at Lu Huai with wide, angry eyes, feigning a fierce expression.

"Lu Huai!!!"

"Eat noodles."

Before she could get angry, Lu Huai wisely helped her sit back down on the sofa and shoved the noodles into her hand.

This not only prevented her from continuing to get angry, but also eliminated the possibility of her acting impulsively and beating him up.

The warm touch from her palm made Qin Wan feel a lump in her throat, neither able to breathe nor able to exhale.

So annoying...

In the end, Qin Wan could only glare at Lu Huai with annoyance, then angrily picked up the noodles and gulped them down.

Qin Wan had a small appetite and put the rest down after eating only half a bowl.

Lu Huai grabbed Qin Wan, who was about to leave, and looked at the half-eaten bowl of noodles with disapproval, "You haven't finished eating yet."

Qin Wan glared at him, annoyed. "Don't you know what my taste is like?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You know perfectly well what I meant by asking you to cook more."

"Who told you to put it all in one bowl?"

Faced with Qin Wan's condemnation and accusations, Lu Huai blinked, looking completely innocent.

"You're the one who told me to cook more."

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Qin Wan gave a "cold laugh" and angrily shook off his hand.

"I don't care, I'm full anyway."

Watching Qin Wan storm back to her room, Lu Huai's eyebrows curved into a smile, and a hint of doting affection appeared in his eyes.

yes……

He did it on purpose...

He deliberately put all the noodles, including his portion, into one bowl...

The moment Qin Wan stepped into the room, her sharp eyes caught Lu Huai picking up the remaining half-bowl of noodles...

Qin Wan: "..." Lu Huai's mentality is definitely not healthy.

After a short nap of one or two hours, Qin Wan got up and went to school.

She thought it would be another boring day, but the arrival of two uninvited guests instantly lifted her spirits.

"Jiang Ya?"

"Xie Zijue?"

"Are you two here to see me?"

Upon seeing the two of them, Qin Wan's eyes lit up, her expression filled with excitement.

"yes."

"Wanwan, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. It was Xie Zijue and I who were wrong and almost hurt you."

Jiang Ya hypocritically held Qin Wan's hand, pretending to be a close sister.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan waved her hand generously, "It's alright, we're all sisters. Do I look like such a petty person?"

“I know that you and Xie Zijue were born in the countryside and lived in difficult conditions, so it’s normal that you couldn’t help me.”

"So, I never even thought of blaming you."

These words made it sound like Qin Wan was truly understanding.

She disregarded past grievances and happily took Jiang Ya's hand, while also greeting Xie Zijue very warmly.

"By the way, have you two eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Jiang Ya tried her best to suppress the frustration in her heart and greeted Qin Wan with a smile.

"It's a pity, I'm really short on money lately, otherwise I would have treated you two to dinner together," Qin Wan said, feigning helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya's expression froze again.

Xie Zijue, standing to the side, also looked slightly awkward, glancing at Jiang Ya for help.

"Wanwan, do you... do you still need to borrow money?" Jiang Ya gritted her teeth and looked at Qin Wan with feigned concern.

"Oh, it's alright. I know you and Xie Zijue are also struggling financially and don't have much money. I already told you, I don't blame you two," Qin Wan waved her hand, pretending to be generous and dignified.

"Wanwan, it's like this, Xie Zijue and I thought of a way together after we logged off yesterday, and we managed to scrape together two thousand..."

"Look, if you still need it, we'll transfer it to you."

Almost as soon as Jiang Ya finished speaking, Qin Wan immediately took out her phone and opened the QR code.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged him!"

"You two truly deserve to be my best sister and brother!"

"Don't worry, you've been good to me, and I will definitely not treat you badly."

After the four thousand RMB was successfully deposited into her account, Qin Wan smiled contentedly.

Then, to Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue's disbelief, Qin Wan waved her hand generously and said, "Consider all those magical artifacts and props from before as money I sold to you. You two don't owe me anything anymore."

"Now that I have the money, I will never again say that you two are just taking advantage of others."

Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue's expressions both changed drastically.

What the heck?

What magical artifacts or props did we sell to them?

What exactly is Qin Wan saying?

What exactly does she mean?

Those magical artifacts and props were clearly given to them by her.

Why is it being sold to them again now?

Hearing this, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue exchanged a glance, both seeing urgency in each other's faces and eyes...
