Early the next morning, Zhou Chu boarded the high-speed train back to Qingcheng with Gao Qinyi.

After all, they took leave to come here, and now that they've done what they wanted to do, they should go back.

We just got off the train.

They then saw Shi Qianfei waving frantically.

She was wearing red sunglasses and a fitted trench coat, leaning against the black car next to her.

Zhou Chu didn't know much about car types, but just by looking at its appearance, he could roughly judge that this car was quite valuable.

"Fei-jie, why did you come to pick us up!" Gao Qinyi immediately let go of Zhou Chu's arm and ran over to hug Shi Qianfei: "Does that mean Fei-jie doesn't need to attend class today?"

"Isn't this kind of academic visit just a vacation?" Shi Qianfei slightly lowered her sunglasses, her gaze fixed on him.

He first scrutinized Gao Qinyi, who was clinging to him, and then his gaze was fixed on Zhou Chu.

She quickly came to a conclusion.

“You two are different now.” Shi Qianfei nodded confidently, then pressed, “What happened back in our hometown? Could it be that you two are already… together?”

She originally meant to say home run, but felt it was a bit impolite for her to say it.

She was, after all, an excellent teacher.

There was no need for them to answer, because Gao Qinyi's expression had already betrayed the truth.

She looked at Zhou Chu with a shy expression, while Zhou Chu's eyes were full of doting affection.

She felt like she had been forced to eat a lot of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

If we consider the first month after they started university, their relationship progressed quite quickly.

But if we extend the timeline, after all, they were childhood sweethearts.

If she had such a handsome childhood sweetheart, she wouldn't have been single for so long.

"Stop talking." Shi Qianfei waved her hand, looking exhausted. "Come back with me. I'll approve your leave. You can go wherever you want."

"No need!" Gao Qinyi grabbed her arm and tugged at it playfully, "Since it's a visiting scholar program, it's not really appropriate to keep taking leave..."

"At least it's much better than you showing off your love in someone's classroom." Shi Qianfei rolled her eyes at her, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat: "Although, you'd better not forget the relationship between academic advisor and student. Showing affection is fine, but you can tone it down a bit when you're out in public."

"Okay," Zhou Chu and Gao Qinyi replied in unison.

"Who confessed to whom?"

As the car drove on the highway, Shi Qianfei finally couldn't resist her gossipy urge.

After thinking for a moment, she turned on the car's music.

The songs played were also very appropriate for the occasion.

Today You're Marrying Me

"Chu Chu!" Gao Qinyi covered her flushed cheeks, but her eyes peeked through her fingers as she looked at Zhou Chu in the back seat through the rearview mirror. She said coquettishly, "Is it fun to tease me?"

"Is this a prank?" Shi Qianfei asked seriously, answering herself, "I'm just concerned about my student's life, okay! What if you get scammed by a jerk?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the front-view mirror, from which she could see Zhou Chu's expression.

Compared to Gao Qinyi, he appeared much calmer.

"Fei-jie, who do you think confessed to whom?" He seemed to realize that the two people were looking at him, and he also looked in the front mirror.

You could say that he made eye contact with both of them.

“I think…” Shi Qianfei withdrew her gaze, turned the steering wheel to the left, and drove the car into a small road: “It should be Qinqin who took the initiative to confess.”

After thinking for a moment, she added, "If she doesn't take the initiative to confess, I'm afraid you'll be even less likely to. It will just drag on like before."

"It was indeed Sister Qin who confessed to me." Zhou Chu had just finished speaking when he saw Gao Qinyi's murderous glare.

But he acted as if he hadn't seen it, simply shifting his body to the other side to prevent Gao Qinyi from suddenly launching an attack.

"I didn't expect Qinqin to be so proactive in love." Shi Qianfei's gaze towards Gao Qinyi held a deeper meaning.

This is so embarrassing!

Logically, it should be the girl who accepts the boy's confession.

But I couldn't help myself and confessed my feelings to Zhou Chu!

If that's the case, won't I be constantly being whipped by him because of this?

Their status within the family is also very likely to be greatly reduced as a result!

"You'll be going back soon." Gao Qinyi turned around and glared at him resentfully.

If we weren't in the car, she probably would have already done it.

But there's no rush. Once she gets back to her room, that's when she'll truly shine.

"Sister Fei, you have to help me! I was only threatened by her because I wanted to tell you."

Zhou Chu's intention to curry favor with Shi Qianfei was quite obvious.

Shi Qianfei had no intention of saving him. She turned the steering wheel and drove onto another side road, saying, "I'd better not disturb your sweet relationship. I don't like being a third wheel."

We're already at Qingdao University's campus.

It's just the south gate of Qingdao University, which is a small gate.

Although it's called a small gate, it doesn't look small at all and is quite bustling.

"I have to go to class now." Shi Qianfei parked the car in front of the hotel, shooed them out, and sped away.

Zhou Chu was naturally dragged up the mountain by the ear.

"I'll ask you one more time, who confessed to whom?"

Inside the room, Zhou Chu sat obediently on the floor, with Gao Qinyi's feet resting on his shoulders.

She sat on the bed, at just the right height to put her feet on his shoulders.

Like a witch, her smile sent chills down Zhou Chu's spine.

I felt like she might suddenly pounce on me like a tiger at any moment.

"We're mutually in love, does it really matter who confesses to whom?"

"Of course it's important!" Gao Qinyi said harshly, her lips slightly pouting. "I want you to confess your feelings to me seriously right now!"

"Huh?" Zhou Chu was a little confused about what she meant.

They're already boyfriend and girlfriend.

Why would I need to confess my feelings?

Even if he confesses his feelings, it doesn't seem like it will change anything, right?

But he soon noticed the phone in Gao Qinyi's hand, which was taking pictures of him from a photographic angle.

"I want to record the video of you confessing your love to me, so they won't laugh at me for being too forward."

She had already put her foot down where she was stepping on Zhou Chu.

It feels a bit lacking in weight, and I'm not used to it.

"Isn't that unnecessary?" Zhou Chu waved his hand and was about to get up: "I would never record such a humiliating video that would betray our country."

"Really?" Gao Qinyi kicked him in the chest as he stood up.

It didn't take much force, but it was enough to make him fall backward.

The next second.

She was already sitting on Zhou Chu, holding her phone in one hand and pressing the other hand against his chest.

"Will you tell or not?"
