And it was so gentle, as if I had broken her by being too forceful.
"Abei, what's wrong?" Ji Qingqian asked softly, gently patting the boy's back as if to comfort him.
The hug was so sudden and unconventional that she was actually a little worried about Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei was awakened by Ji Qingqian's concerned voice.
After hearing Ji Qingqian say "retake the exam," the image of her half-asleep words, "I came to Jiangnan to see you," immediately flashed through his mind.
Those words had already moved Lu Yibei, but he never expected that this silly girl would actually…
Did you take the test twice?
That's senior year of high school.
Lu Yibei felt like crying.
He awkwardly released the slender body from his embrace:
Did I scare you?
"Um."
Ji Qingqian asked honestly, "Are you alright?"
"fine."
Lu Yibei suppressed the sour, sticky feeling in his throat and said casually, "It's good that you were scared. We've known each other for three years before we finally met in person. I wanted to give you a hug when we first met, but since we had just met, I couldn't do anything too outrageous. So I prepared myself and waited until now... just in time to scare you."
When emotions are too intense, people can indeed lose control of themselves.
This hug was also unexpected by Lu Yibei, and he quickly made up an excuse for himself.
Ji Qingqian gazed at Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei sniffed: "What's wrong... are you angry?"
“…Boring,” Ji Qingqian said.
"It's boring without you," Lu Yibei said.
I was so bored that I went through my senior year of high school twice.
"Idiot," Ji Qingqian said again.
“You’re such an idiot,” Lu Yibei said.
It's incredibly stupid of me to repeat my senior year of high school twice just to come to this crappy school to see a boring and stupid person.
"Retaking the exam... must be tiring?" Lu Yibei asked softly.
"No, I'm a genius. I was just unprepared the first time." Ji Qingqian casually summarized the hardships of the past year.
"How can you play games while repeating a year of high school? Playing games at the same time... isn't that too much to ask?" Lu Yibei's eyes were a little sore.
Although Ji Qingqian didn't say it explicitly, given her personality, she wouldn't say it explicitly either.
Lu Yibei could sense that the reason she logged on was to find him.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that she hasn't played much casual gaming since last year, devoting all her gaming time to Lu Yibei.
"I've already told you I'm a genius," Ji Qingqian scoffed. "Unlike ordinary people like you..."
Sadly, Ji Qingqian felt that the only thing connecting her to the boy in front of her was the game.
So she insisted on forcing herself.
"Besides, without me helping you draw the gun line, you would have been killed and forced to quit the game long ago," Ji Qingqian said.
