The following day, H City No.1 Middle School

Ji Sinian saw Lu Hansheng getting out of a black Maybach as soon as he arrived at the school gate.

He stood still, hands in his pockets, chin buried in his scarf.

Lu Hansheng walked over unhurriedly with her schoolbag on her back, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, and continued walking straight into the school without stopping.

"Lu Hansheng, what do you mean? Can't you see I'm waiting for you?" Ji Sinian frowned slightly and chased after him.

"Why are you waiting for me?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Hansheng's eyes as she turned her head slightly to look at him.

Ji Sinian coughed, his eyes flickered slightly, he tugged at his scarf, and said in a low voice, "Um... I heard from someone that you've been fighting in underground boxing matches lately. Are you short of money? Do you want me to lend you some?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hansheng stopped in his tracks, frowned, and said coldly, "Who told you that?"

"Oh, who cares who I heard it from? I'm just asking if you need money."

"We don't lack anything."

Ji Sinian muttered, "If you're not short of money, why are you boxing?"

Lu Hansheng ignored him, lowered her eyelids, and continued walking forward with an indifferent expression.

Ji Sinian raised his hand and touched his slightly hot earlobe, then silently followed behind him.

The two entered the classroom through the back door, one after the other.

Ji Sinian threw his schoolbag on the table and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Lu Hansheng glanced at the empty seat next to Ji Sinian, her eyes flickered slightly, and she asked calmly, "Did Shi Miao take the day off today?"

"Ah, right. She has something to do today." Ji Sinian took a bottle of mineral water out of his bag, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

Lu Hansheng gave a faint "hmm" and began to read the book on the table.

"Do you like Sister Miao?" Ji Sinian rested his head on one hand, looking at him with a half-smile.

Lu Hansheng paused in his book-turning, his eyes lowered, concealing the darkness within them. "What's it to you?"

"I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible." Ji Sinian crossed his arms, leaned back slightly, and rested his head on the chair.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she continued, "Sister Miao has a boyfriend."

Lu Hansheng's gaze deepened, and he said coldly, "Ji Yanchen?"

"Damn, how did you know?" Ji Sinian was a little surprised and sat up straight.

Lu Hansheng stared at the book in his hand with his dark eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered two words: "Guess."

Ji Sinian pursed his lips: "Since you already know, you should just give up."

Lu Hansheng slowly turned the pages of the book with his slender fingers, his voice cold and deep: "It's not like we won't break up."

Ji Sinian: "......"

"Miaomiao, let's go, he should be here soon." Gu Wanqing came out of the room with her bag and glanced at the time on her phone.

Shi Miao lazily stood up from the sofa, stretched, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Okay."

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at a coffee shop in the city center.

Pushing open the door, it was clear that Qin Chu had booked the entire place; he was the only one sitting by the window.

Gu Wanqing took Shi Miao's arm and sat down opposite Qin Chu.

Qin Chu's eyes flickered slightly. She lowered her head, took a sip of coffee, and said gently, "You're here."

"Um, when did you arrive?" Gu Wanqing nodded and put down her bag.

Qin Chu twirled the cup in her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "I just arrived a little while ago, how come Miss Shi is here too?"

"Say it, what brings you here?" Shi Miao crossed his arms, looking languid, and leaned casually against the back of the sofa.

Qin Chu's fingers tightened around the cup, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?"

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow slightly and said casually, "Tsk, I don't have time to play along with your act. Do you want to take her to M Continent?"

Gu Wanqing hadn't expected Shi Miao to directly confront Qin Chu, and said softly, "Miao Miao..."

"Heh." Qin Chu sneered, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "So you knew everything? Wanqing, you too?"

Gu Wanqing looked up at him upon hearing this and said coldly, "Yes."

Shi Miao grasped her hand, slightly raised his chin, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "So who exactly are you? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I'll find out sooner or later."

Qin Chu picked up her cup, took a small sip, and smiled, "Miss Shi is truly capable."

Shi Miao raised her hand and pulled down her baseball cap, looking at him sharply. "Likewise."

Gu Wanqing frowned, her voice cold, "Qin Chu, what exactly happened back then? Did you replace my memories?"

Qin Chu slowly put down the cup, a hint of coolness flashing in her eyes, and said gently, "So what if I did it? You just need to know that everything I did was because I love you."

Shi Miao's eyes were a little irritated, clearly disgusted by Qin Chu's words. "Alright, it seems there's nothing more to say today."

She turned her head slightly to look at Gu Wanqing, her voice low and gentle: "Let's go."

"Okay." Gu Wanqing nodded, stood up, took Shi Miao's hand, and left the coffee shop together.

Qin Chu watched the two figures leave with a solemn expression, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

The phone on the table suddenly rang. He rubbed his throbbing temples, reached for the phone, and pressed the answer button.

"It's bad, sir. Ji Yanchen has exposed all of us who were hiding in the shadows."

Qin Chu's face stiffened upon hearing this. He irritably loosened his tie and said in a deep voice, "Useless trash, withdraw everything that can be withdrawn."

"yes."
