If you hold back for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll be consumed by rage.
Ji Qingqian and Lu Yibei had already walked out of the playground.
Ji Qingqian didn't have much experience in arguing with people, and she only finished rehearsing her strategy afterward.
She suddenly turned her head away, wanting to go back and scold Zhou Zhou a few more times.
Lu Yibei pulled her back and chuckled:
"What's wrong?"
Ji Qing frowned slightly, her usually cool and aloof face showing obvious displeasure.
"You can still laugh even when you're being bullied?"
“You said someone wanted to make me angry, but I just didn’t get angry. Guess who will end up making whom angry?” Lu Yibei asked.
Ji Qingqian was stunned for a moment. Her strength gradually dissipated, and she no longer insisted on going back. Instead, she stood beside Lu Yibei.
The two walked a few steps under the dim streetlights.
Ji Qingqian lowered her eyes and looked at her and Lu Yibei's hands clasped together.
At first, she was the one holding Ah Bei's hand, but now Ah Bei's fingers are stronger than hers.
She found it difficult to pull her hand away...
…It doesn't matter, she doesn't want to let go anyway.
"And please don't criticize me, heroine. I'm only able to laugh because of you," Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly:
"What a huge pot."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not trying to shift the blame." Lu Yibei said gently, "Because after every little boy makes a fool of himself, he hopes that a beautiful, long-legged older sister will come out, grab his hand, and take him to sit in a red Ferrari."
And the female knight-errant just happened to fulfill his wish.
“No Ferraris,” Ji Qingqian said.
"I'll rent a shared electric scooter another day, that'll do," Lu Yibei said.
“I’m a junior student,” Ji Qingqian said.
“But your birthday is earlier than mine, and you’ve said before that you’re the older sister. Are you trying to deny it?” Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment: "Oh."
"Huh? Aren't you going to question the terms 'pretty' and 'long legs'?" Lu Yibei asked.
Ji Qingqian gave Lu Yibei a cold glare: "Is it mainly because of his long legs?"
Lu Yibei thought for a moment: "The secondary thing is long legs."
"Mainly because she's pretty?"
"It's mainly you."
The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, but it made Ji Qing's fair face appear slightly red. She gently bit her lip, and then heard Lu Yibei say:
"Heroine, let's find a place to sit down and chat."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look towards the playground...
Since Zhou Zhou spoke like that, Sun'er and the others must have seen her too.
…But with the fat guy watching over things, nothing will happen.
Almost every university has a lake, and Jiangnan University is no exception.
Willow trees are planted along the shores of almost every lake, and Jiangda University is no exception.
In late summer and early autumn, the night breeze blows, and willow branches brush across the lake.
The weather in Jiangnan is still a bit hot, and even though it's already the golden month of September, the willow leaves are still lush and green.
However, compared to the past few days, the evening breeze is no longer humid and hot; it has a gentle coolness while tickling your hair.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian sat side by side on a public bench by the lake.
Most students were watching the freshmen's final night of singing; it was still early, but the place was already quiet.
Ji Qingqian remembered: "Last night, someone was creating life here..."
"stop!"
Lu Yibei shouted, "Heroine, please shut up."
He didn't want to recall it.
Ji Qingqian glanced at the boy beside her, then looked at her own shoulder.
Do you need me to lean on?
"…What?"
"Shoulder."
Lu Yibei: ...
Ji Qingqian said calmly, "If you want to cry, then cry. I'll pretend I didn't hear you."
Her feelings for Lu Yibei were genuine.
It cannot be denied that Lu Yibei's feelings for Zhou Zhou over the past two years have been genuine.
Ji Qingqian would mind if Abei shed tears for Zhou Zhou at this moment, but she could bear it; she didn't want Abei to suppress his sadness.
Lu Yibei didn't cry; instead, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I've told you so many times... I can't cry."
"But you don't look very happy."
"I'm not unhappy, it's just..."
"that is?"
"I feel a bit lost."
Lu Yibei took a breath and looked at the calm lake surface, which appeared dark under the night sky.
After his falling out with Zhou Zhou, it would be a lie to say he felt nothing, but he's no longer saddened by it: "Thinking about what I've done in the past two years... if I had focused all my time on studying, maybe I could have gotten a job in Beijing..."
Ji Qingqian did not speak.
She slightly crossed her long legs:
"...I wasn't wearing a skirt."
"Um?"
"Otherwise, I can let you touch me a couple of times."
"!?"
"I heard online that if a boy is unhappy, touching his legs a couple of times will cheer him up again."
Lu Yibei: ...
His breathing was a little rapid.
Ji Qingqian gave him a cold, indifferent look:
"But it's alright... some people aren't sad either, so let it go."
Lu Yibei wondered if it was too late to change his mind.
But after some hesitation, he ultimately stuck to his word and didn't change his tune. He smiled.
"Yes, I'm not unhappy."
Ji Qingqian looked at him and suddenly said:
"Abei, don't move."
"Um?"
Then Ji Qingqian put her arm around Lu Yibei's head, pulled his body towards her, and let his head rest on her lap.
The soft yet firm touch made Lu Yibei's mind go blank for a moment, and at the same time he could hear his heart pounding.
"The fact that you're not unhappy means you're smart and a good child. Here's a reward for you," Ji Qingqian said calmly.
