She deliberately winked at Qiao Xi and asked, "What's going on?"

Qiao Xi said to Su Qingyao tactfully, "Class monitor, I brought my boyfriend with me, but he's a little shy, so he doesn't really want people to see what he looks like."

Su Qingyao immediately understood and whispered to confirm, "Qi Jincheng?"

“Yes,” Qiao Xi replied softly.

Su Qingyao gave her a disdainful look. "Didn't you say you didn't want others to know about your relationship?"

"That's why I'm wearing a mask." Qiao Xi felt like she was slapping herself in the face, but this reason was barely acceptable.

Su Qingyao said with even more contempt, "How could you even think of that?"

Qiao Xi whispered in her ear, "It was his idea."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyao glanced at Qi Jincheng, but she didn't dare to meet his gaze. When Qi Jincheng looked at her, she quickly looked away.

She excused herself without disturbing them, saying, "You guys have fun, I'm going over there."

Li Xiaoxiao was still very curious about Qi Jincheng's appearance under the mask, and she knew what to do, so she quickly sent her away, "Li Xiaoxiao, come with me for a moment."

"What are you doing?" Li Xiaoxiao asked, looking reluctant.

Su Qingyao urged her, "Just come with me."

Just as things had quieted down for a moment, a figure with an aura no less imposing than Qi Jincheng slowly came into Qiao Xi's view.

He had been observing them from the beginning, and only now that they were all alone did he come over to greet them.

"Student Qiao," Yan Luoheng greeted her with a gentlemanly smile.

Qiao Xi felt inexplicably unsettled upon seeing him, especially after learning that he and Jun Jiuge were in a romantic relationship.

The key point is that Qiao Xi doesn't know where Jun Jiuge has gone. She scanned the auditorium but couldn't find her.

After looking away, Qiao Xi still gave him a perfunctory response, "Professor Yan."

"I heard you brought your boyfriend?" Yan Luoheng asked directly, his gaze immediately falling on Qi Jincheng.

Now that she had already said it, Qiao Xi had nothing to hide and nodded generously, saying, "Yes."

Qi Jincheng didn't expect Qiao Xi to introduce him as her boyfriend at first. Maybe he was used to her calling him husband, but it was indeed inappropriate to introduce him as her husband in this kind of occasion.

He found the identity of boyfriend quite novel, especially in a place like school where the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend is already very important.

Yan Luoheng sized up Qi Jincheng and asked, "So mysterious, and wearing a mask?"

Qiao Xi replied matter-of-factly, "Yes, I'm afraid that if people see what he looks like, they'll snatch him away."

Upon hearing her reply, Yan Luoheng elegantly curled the corners of his lips, then his gaze fell on Qiao Xi's clothes, praising, "The clothes are beautiful."

"Thank you." Qiao Xi expressed her gratitude for his praise without reservation.

Yan Luoheng thanked her in return, saying, "I should be thanking you. Thank you for helping my girlfriend choose clothes."

Qiao Xi felt that he was intentionally bringing up the clothes. He must know that Qiao Xi had seen the clothes Jun Jiuge was wearing and that she already knew about their relationship.

As their eyes met, Qiao Xi nodded to him without saying anything, saying, "You're welcome."

"Then you guys have a good time," Yan Luoheng said before leaving.

Qi Jincheng heard their conversation clearly. After Yan Luoheng left, he took Qiao Xi's hand and led her to a secluded spot.

Qiao Xi roughly knew what he wanted to ask, "Ah Jin..."

She didn't tell him about what happened when she ran into Yan Luoheng while shopping for clothes yesterday. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him; she had genuinely forgotten about it.

Qi Jincheng asked in a tone that was half questioning and half teasing, "Helping his girlfriend choose clothes?"

Qiao Xi smiled and said frankly, "Yes, I ran into him when I went to help Ninth Master pick out a dress that day. He said he was bringing his girlfriend to today's welcome party and wanted me to help her choose a dress."

"But that's not the point!" At this point, Qiao Xi had to talk about what happened between him and Jun Jiuge.

This isn't gossip; it's a very serious matter!

Qiao Xi said to Qi Jincheng with a serious expression, "The important thing is that I picked out two suits for him, one of which will be worn by Jun Jiuge!"

“Just now, I saw her come in wearing that dress.” Qiao Xi emphasized again, “I would never be wrong about the dress I chose!”

Upon hearing this, Qi Jincheng muttered to himself involuntarily, "They're about to announce their relationship."

Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xi subconsciously opened her mouth, but then continued without thinking, "I knew their relationship was close, but I didn't expect it to actually be a romantic relationship."

"That's between them, Xi'er, don't interfere." Qi Jincheng directly stopped Qiao Xi's curiosity.

Qiao Xizhen had no intention of interfering in Jun Jiuge's love life. "I know it's not my place to meddle in these things, but..."

If Yan Luoheng wants to announce his relationship with Jun Jiuge now, then the Ninth Master's days from now on are probably not going to be easy.

Qiao Xi said timidly, "Yan Luoheng isn't planning to announce his relationship with Ninth Master tonight, is he?"

"Let them be." Qi Jincheng didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all.

Qiao Xi was really worried about Jun Jiuge. "After tonight, Ninth Master will probably become the 'public enemy' of the design department. And that's not all. Yan Luoheng is not only recognized by the design department as the most handsome professor in the whole school, but also by all the girls in the school."

Just as she finished speaking, a clear, sunny voice came from beside Qiao Xi, "Senior!"

Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Xi and Qi Jincheng almost simultaneously turned to look at the source of the sound.

Qiao Xi recognized the boy at a glance, but couldn't remember his name. "You are..."

The boy said, sounding a little aggrieved, "Senior, you haven't forgotten me so quickly, have you?"

Qiao Xi said apologetically, "I just can't remember your name."

"Zhong Hanjie." Zhong Hanjie said his name loudly.

That's right, it's the art student who confessed to him in the cafeteria that day...

Today's welcome party was prepared for him and his classmates, so it's not surprising to see him here.

Qiao Xi greeted him with a smile, "Zhong, classmate."

At the same time, Qiao Xi deliberately distanced herself from him, linking her arm with Qi Jincheng's, wanting the junior to know about their relationship and to be more perceptive.

Seeing Qiao Xi so intimately linked arms with him, Zhong Hanjie immediately asked with a jealous look, "Senior, who is he?"

Qiao Xi told him very directly, "My boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Zhong Hanjie looked extremely unwilling to accept it. "Didn't you say you didn't have a boyfriend before?"
