Lu Yibei stood up, dusted off his backside, and called out to Chen Wei again:
"Alright, stop pretending to be dead and get up."
Chen Wei hummed in agreement and was about to get up.
Lu Yibei bent down and stretched out his hand in front of him.
Chen Wei was startled again, and he grabbed Lu Yibei's hand.
Lu Yibei pulled hard and lifted the former up.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yibei placed his hands on his lower back and stretched a few times as if he were doing a stretch.
Chen Wei looked at Lu Yibei.
The boy was enveloped in the fading golden light of the setting sun, yet he seemed to possess the brightest light in the world.
Chen Wei couldn't help but chuckle.
“What are you laughing at?” Lu Yibei said.
"I just suddenly realized something."
Chen Wei said sincerely, "As expected, only someone like you, senior, would be favored by Ji Qingqian."
"Me like this?"
Lu Yibei wanted to ask me what kind of question.
But Chen Wei clearly didn't want to continue discussing this topic.
He certainly found the senior's charm, but after all, they were both boys.
Asking him to give a deep compliment to someone of the same sex in person... the atmosphere just doesn't feel right.
They want to be cool guys, not cool gays…
Chen Wei moved his hands and feet, and he could still feel a numb soreness in his wrist where Lu Yibei had twisted it.
The senior student clearly seemed to be trying to twist his wrist in the opposite direction of the joint.
Even so, he still solemnly bowed to the north of the land:
"Sorry, senior."
In the end, it was his unreasonable behavior that made his senior act up. After Chen Wei finished speaking, he suggested, "How about I treat you to something to drink?"
Lu Yibei waved his hand, refusing:
"No need... um, just a moment."
Chen Wei: ?
He didn't quite understand what he was waiting for, but he understood the next moment.
From a not-too-distant corner, a beautiful young woman emerged, wearing a well-fitting floral dress, with cascading black hair and snow-white eyes.
She was expressionless at first, but when she saw the two of them, she was somewhat taken aback:
"...Ah Bei?"
It is Ji Qingqian.
Chen Wei was stunned.
How did she end up here?
Ji Qingqian's brows furrowed slightly, and she first inquired with concern about Lu Yibei:
What are you doing?
"
Then he stared warily at Chen Wei, who seemed unsure what expression to make.
Lu Yibei and Chen Wei didn't do anything too outrageous, but regardless of who it was, they both rolled around on the ground.
Senior Lu is doing a little better.
Chen Wei's clothes were a patchwork of gray and white, but luckily he was wearing navy blue, otherwise it would have been even more noticeable.
You can easily guess what just happened.
Chen Wei quickly covered for Lu Yibei: "I was just joking around with my senior..."
But Ji Qingqian didn't listen to him at all; she just looked at Lu Yibei with questioning eyes.
Lu Yibei dusted off his shirt as he walked towards Ji Qingqian:
Did you bring the items?
Ji Qingqian nodded seriously: "The quality is very pure."
Lu Yibei: ?
He just asked a very ordinary question.
Is Lady Ji getting carried away with her dramatic flair again?
Is this some kind of gangster delivery rendezvous plot?
"No, how pure can mineral water be..." Lu Yibei asked.
Ji Qingqian revealed her hands, which had been hidden behind her back: "Look."
Oh, "Pure Joy" brand mineral water, that's certainly pure enough.
"Have you drunk from this bottle?" Lu Yibei asked.
As Lu Yibei had instructed, Ji Qingqian brought two bottles of mineral water, one of which was already almost empty.
Ji Qingqian nodded.
Lu Yibei tossed the unopened bottle to Chen Wei: "Drink it."
After taking another sip from the bottle that Ji Qingqian had drunk from, he gently said to the girl, "Let's go eat."
Ji Qingqian nodded and softly replied, "Okay."
Lu Yibei held a mineral water bottle in his right hand and extended his left hand to Ji Qingqian.
Ji Qingqian's slender, white fingers were tightly clasped together with Lu Yibei's left hand.
"Let's go."
Lu Yibei waved to Chen Wei behind him.
Chen Wei: ...
He stared at the receding figures of Senior Lu and Ji Qingqian.
Then I looked at their hands, which were tightly clasped together.
The crimson sunset fell overhead, and even their heights seemed perfectly matched; they were simply the most compatible couple in the world.
No, senior...
you…
I…
Chen Wei raised his head and gulped down the entire bottle of mineral water in one go.
He then crushed the plastic bottle, still unable to shake off the sour feeling, like he'd eaten a lemon!
Chen Wei: "Senior! You son of a bitch!!"
...
To avoid Qingqian bringing up past grievances later, Lu Yibei recounted everything between him and Chen Wei before she could even ask.
Ji Qingqian suddenly remembered:
"Oh, so he's in our class...wait, isn't he the class monitor Ma Jiaojiao mentioned..."
Lu Yibei: "...Heroine, at least remember the faces of your classmates. Even if you can't remember the others, you should at least know the class monitor!"
But Ji Qingqian clearly didn't remember Lu Yibei's words; she started to worry about what would happen next.
The female knight was a little angry, and she reached out and pinched Lu Yibei's cheek:
Why do you want to compare yourself to him?
Lu Yibei was very honest: "Because I want to win =3="
“It’s meaningless,” Ji Qingqian said coldly.
No matter who wins, she will only ever love Lu Yibei.
“I know, but I just want to win,” Lu Yibei said.
He actually hid some of his feelings from Chen Wei.
