Exams, exams; review, review.
Exams, exams; review, review.
The pace of life is neither fast nor slow.
But every time Ji Qingqian looked up, she would find that time had stopped at a point she never expected.
"Why is it so late already!?"
"Why is it only this early?!"
—Like this.
Fortunately, Ah Bei was there with her.
While she stayed up late studying at the public school, Lu Yibei waited for her less than two meters behind her.
I memorized it myself.
Abei's typing.
Although we have different roles, we feel like we are working together with our loved ones.
It's very full and satisfying.
Moreover, in order to preserve her focus, Ah Bei deliberately put the mechanical keyboard aside and only used the built-in keyboard of the laptop to type.
Very quietly.
Almost imperceptible.
Even the smallest details inadvertently reveal Ah Bei's unique gentleness.
Ji Qingqian turned around and looked at her boyfriend with satisfaction.
He then returned to the textbooks on the desk in front of him.
Then again,
“…”
She turned her head again: "Abei."
She said she couldn't hear a single keyboard click.
Lu Yibei looked up from his phone screen:
"Um?"
Seeing his girlfriend's cheeks puffed out slightly, as if she were looking somewhat aggrieved:
"Hmph, it's so good not having to worry about exams, I can even leisurely scroll through my phone. It's all my fault for not studying hard enough, now I can only focus on memorizing. It's my own fault that you're enjoying yourself while I'm suffering. Ah, Young Master Lu, don't worry about me, just have fun... Who told me my grades are far inferior to yours..."
Lu Yibei chuckled, interrupting the Northeastern woman's speech:
"My reader said they found my Douyin ID, so I took a look..."
Ji Qingqian then regained her composure and asked, "Were you killed?"
"I downloaded Douyin, registered an account, and after careful consideration, I found that he must have contacted the wrong person," Lu Yibei said earnestly.
Ji Qingqian: ...
I almost forgot, her boyfriend doesn't use Douyin much.
He did have one pre-installed on his phone.
But I deleted it again recently because I didn't have enough memory.
"However, big data is quite powerful, it kept recommending travel guides for Northeast China to me."
Lu Yibei said, "I've been checking flights from Hangzhou to Harbin these past few days, and it's really..."
Big data is secretly in love with everyone equally.
"Do you want to see a heavy snowfall this winter?"
Some time ago, Ji Qingqian's words became the catalyst.
She invited Lu Yibei to go home.
Lu Yibei gave an affirmative response at the time.
"I not only want to see snow, but I also want to see snow falling on your hair."
However, the various holidays and final exams that followed made the two of them put the matter aside for the time being.
The timeframe is tentatively set for the winter break.
However, whether it would be at the beginning of the winter vacation or during the Spring Festival was not immediately decided.
Logically speaking, the beginning of winter break is better.
It's rather reckless and violent to rush to someone's home for the New Year on your first visit.
But emotionally, Lu Yibei didn't want to miss the opportunity to spend the Spring Festival with Lady Ji.
"Is it expensive?" Ji Qingqian asked.
"It's alright," Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian hadn't checked the specific price.
It wasn't necessary for her, but she still had the common sense to back it up.
Ji Qingqian said, "It will definitely be extremely expensive before the Lunar New Year."
Lu Yibei hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything else.
Ji Qingqian hesitated for a moment:
Do you need me to buy you a ticket?
Although the two rarely talked about their financial situation, her boyfriend had always been self-reliant.
You can earn money, but you also need to take care of your livelihood.
She considers herself to have some dirty money.
When the two go out to eat or play together, her boyfriend might jokingly say things like "rich lady, you're hungry," but he never really likes to take advantage of her.
Ah Bei is really a very, very good boyfriend.
That's why Ji Qingqian was afraid he was under financial pressure and was keeping it from her...
She hoped that Ah Bei would come to her house with a happy attitude, rather than with immense pressure and a forced smile.
"No need, I can afford that amount of money," Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian tilted her head, looking somewhat cute, yet with a hint of suspicion:
"real?"
Lu Yibei proudly puffed out his chest: "Actually, I've been working hard to save up this money for a while now, you didn't even notice, did you?"
Long ago...
This word prompted Ji Qingqian to try to recall the point in time.
But she didn't recall Ah Bei doing anything out of the ordinary. He had been doing what he was supposed to do for the past few months and hadn't suddenly become busy because he wanted to make money.
"when?"
Lu Yibei held up two fingers, as if making a peace sign:
"I used to update twice a day..."
Ji Qingqian seemed to suddenly remember something, and her peach lips turned into an "O" shape in surprise.
Lu Yibei smiled and added an extra finger:
"Yes, now I'm up at midnight every day..."
The double watch turned into the third watch.
The changes weren't significant, and Ji Qingqian didn't even bother to question why her boyfriend had been writing an extra two thousand words every day for the past two months.
Unexpectedly…
All these seemingly unintentional changes are actually traceable.
"So don't worry, I've already made plans."
Lu Yibei revealed a reassuring smile to Ji Qingqian.
Ji Qingqian pursed her lips, her heart trembling slightly along with her eyelashes, but she still said:
"...You bad man, you've been secretly saving money on the side, haven't you..."
"I was honest from the beginning, it's just that you, my lady, didn't take it seriously..."
Lu Yibei said helplessly, "They even mocked me for only being late at night. What's there to be proud of?"
There's nothing to be proud of anyway.
Ji Qingqian pouted slightly: "I only deserve one more chapter from you."
"Then it really comes down to a lack of ability. If I write any more, my head is probably going to explode... Hmm, I'll try to improve my skills in the future..."
Lu Yibei was still speaking when Ji Qingqian, who leaned in close, interrupted him.
Her arm encircled Lu Yibei's neck, gently pressing the back of his head. Her full, fair forehead rested against his brow. She stared intently into her boyfriend's clear eyes, which showed a hint of surprise at her actions, and spoke each word clearly:
"Abei, you're so kind."
Lu Yibei paused for a moment before smiling and saying:
"Because you are better."
Ji Qingqian lightly stuck out the tip of her tongue, then smacked it, and smiled charmingly:
"Come on, give Grandpa a kiss."
Lu Yibei stood tall and righteous:
"Come on, heroine, you deserve to kiss me to death!"
