Performing on stage is actually a bit more tiring than I imagined.
Moreover, stepping down does not mean the end.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian still needed to change clothes and remove their makeup.
Lu Yibei also has a lot of messages to reply to.
Including but not limited to Fu Chi's, Cheng Mingli's, Wen Yuan's, Chen Wei's...
never mind.
Lu Yibei glanced at it and said, "I'll come back when I have time."
His suit was rented by Li Si for him.
He originally wanted to wear Hanfu, but if he wore Hanfu, his current hairstyle would definitely not match, and he would have to wear a wig, which would be too troublesome. So he asked the president to make him a suit.
However, Li Si must have been really tired.
We even had to prepare things for him when we asked him to perform a show.
"What a kind person..."
Lu Yibei chuckled. He finished quickly and waited for Ji Qingqian outside the changing room.
His three sons had visited before, but upon hearing that he was waiting for his eldest son, they wisely went back to their quarters together.
Lu Yibei continued to think about Li Si.
He's a good person, but is it better to be good to him or to Xia Li?
Thinking of Xia Tudou, Lu Yibei couldn't help but chuckle again.
Winning over this old classmate from junior high might not be so easy...
"Abei."
A girl's cheerful voice came from his shoulder. Lu Yibei turned around and saw his bright-eyed and white-toothed girl leaning forward slightly.
"alright?"
Okay.
Ji Qingqian said softly, "I told Jiaojiao and the others to go back first... Are you tired?"
Lu Yibei laughed:
"I was a little tired just now, but I feel refreshed now. Can you guess why?"
Ji Qingqian stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes darting around cleverly as she stared at Lu Yibei.
She knew why, of course, but wouldn't say; instead, she deliberately asked:
Why?
"Because a young girl was hinting that I should spend more time with her."
Ji Qingqian, satisfied with the answer, excitedly hugged the boy's arm, her cheek practically pressed against his shoulder:
"Am I amazing?"
"sharp."
Lu Yibei first gave an affirmative answer, and then asked, "...Which aspect are you referring to?"
"You answer 'impressive' without even knowing what aspect it is... Ah Bei, sometimes your way of answering can seem a bit perfunctory." Ji Qingqian said with some dissatisfaction.
“That’s true for idiots, but you’re so smart, Lady Qingqian, you’ll definitely be able to tell what I’m really thinking,” Lu Yibei said confidently.
Ji Qing thought for a moment and then stopped picking a fight.
Who can blame her for being so smart?
Ji Qingqian slightly wrinkled her nose, her expression somewhat adorable:
"I no longer act aggressively when facing Zhou Zhou. I ignore her, just like you do—I was actually planning to challenge her to a duel later."
"Then you really could beat her to death..." Lu Yibei chuckled.
And that place was ignored.
When you took your final bow before, you were as smug as a peacock, given the dramatic drop in popularity...
Fortunately, it's alright.
Only he could see her feelings from the girl's shining eyes.
Others probably really thought she was expressionless, cold, and didn't care about anything.
The two were walking back to their dormitory.
Even though the road from the auditorium to the dormitory is straight, they deliberately took a longer route.
After autumn arrives, there are far fewer people going out for walks in the evenings than in September.
In addition, the two had chosen a secluded path where, apart from them, only the streetlights were shining.
Even the moon overhead appeared hazy.
"Abei."
Ji Qingqian added, "I feel that many people don't like parties, dinners, and the like."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Lu Yibei asked, "...Don't you like crowds?"
Ji Qingqian replied:
"The party is lively, but once it's over, don't you feel a bit lonely in the quiet? It seems quite lonely in comparison..."
"…Um."
Lu Yibei thought for a moment, and a phrase came to mind:
All the excitement in this world must be repaid with solitude.
"But I don't care."
Ji Qingqian said, "I don't feel lonely because you're here."
As she spoke, she deliberately winked at Lu Yibei.
Looking at the boy's sudden expression of holding his breath and concentrating.
The girl pursed her lips, finally unable to suppress a smug chuckle:
"See, it's not just you who can say cheesy pickup lines, I can too~~ Are you smitten?"
Lu Yibei didn't speak; he turned his head as if thinking about something, and after a while, he finally spoke:
"I initially thought that this chapter should be turned over after the gala ended, but upon closer reflection, it seems there are still some foreshadowing elements that haven't been resolved."
This time, Ji Qingqian couldn't understand.
"…What?"
Lu Yibei turned to the side, tilted his neck down, and like a vampire feeding, aimed his mouth at the girl's snow-white neck and gently bit down.
The girl's body stiffened instantly, and her hands instinctively wrapped around the boy.
The touch on her neck, along with the moist and itchy sensation, made her cheeks burn. Then, her stiff body suddenly softened, but she had no strength left.
She heard Ah Bei say softly:
I'll kiss you to death.
“…”
"See, it's not just you who can launch sneak attacks, I can too!"
Lu Yibei wore a rare mischievous smile.
…
The weather was gloomy for the next few days, with occasional light rain.
Just as everyone was hoping for the sun to reappear, the Hangzhou Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon warning.
A rain shower, a drop in temperature.
