Lu Yibei's mind was in complete turmoil.
His thoughts instantly traveled from the origin of the Big Bang to the 22nd century, the year Doraemon was born.
If someone asks him at this point, "Which province are you from?", he'll definitely answer, "My mother gave birth to me."
Lu Yibei's fingertips trembled, and he pressed several wrong keys while typing.
[Heading North: Not buddy, is that your sister?]
Qingqian even scolded him:
Why are you typing? Are you pretending to be mute?
"Don't tell me the microphone is broken."
“I could hear you breathing.”
Lu Yibei: "...No, not buddy, is it your sister?"
Qingqian: "Why is your voice trembling so much?"
Lu Yibei: "I was so startled that I tried to take off from in front of the computer, but my toe hit the table leg and the takeoff failed—"
He frantically rubbed his toes like he was rolling a Rasengan.
But compared to that, he cared more about Qingqian.
My best buddy of many years doesn't even have a penis??
Qingqian quickly asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I'm just eating some plums," Lu Yibei said, then repeated incredulously, "Dude, how can you be a girl?"
Qingqian seemed a little resentful: "Who's your buddy?"
"Didn't you always say you were a man?"
Qingqian: "I never said that, you just made it up in your head."
"You didn't deny it."
"Not denying it doesn't mean admitting it, okay?"
"You're pretty quick with inequalities... why don't you deny it?"
Qingqian coldly replied, "Guess."
Lu Yibei put his mind to it for a moment.
I can guess the general idea.
He met Qingqian when they were in their second year of high school, but they weren't very familiar with each other at the time.
Given her reserved personality, it's normal that she doesn't want to speak up.
They got to know each other well during the summer vacation after their junior year of high school, but that year Lu Yibei decided to pursue Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou didn't like him interacting with other girls. If Lu Yibei knew Qingqian was a girl, he would probably cut ties with her.
"We're not just buddies, but with our relationship, even if you were a woman, I still..."
At this point, Lu Yibei felt a little guilty.
She asked casually, "What's our relationship?"
Lu Yibei: "Good brother, in my heart..."
Qingqian sneered: "Can't you get through on the phone if you need something?"
Lu Yibei chuckled twice, "Haha."
"I was going to keep it a secret anyway, since my silence won't affect our gaming." Qingqian said.
"Then why did you suddenly agree to speak on the microphone?" Lu Yibei asked.
"Fool."
Qingqian seemed a little displeased: "Is it not okay because the mic I ordered just arrived?"
“Okay, okay,” Lu Yibei quickly replied.
But you just said you bought it a long time ago…
Lu Yibei's brain was a little fried by his good brother suddenly dropping his penis, and he didn't even have time to ask a question.
She chuckled lightly and said casually, "Tell me about it."
Lu Yibei said, "...What did you say?"
"So, is your 'white moonlight' relationship finally over?"
Lu Yibei wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Qingqian's smile deepened when she said those words.
"Oh, so you noticed."
He originally wanted to vent to his best friend, but now that best friend has become his best friend... Lu Yibei didn't know how to start. He gave an awkward smile and said, "There's nothing to say."
Her tone was gentle yet firm: "Tell me, I want to hear it."
No, Qingqian, are you being too gossipy?
Lu Yibei remembered that when he shared his daily life with Zhou Zhou with Qingqian, he only received her indifferent reply of "Are you on the account or not?".
Did you change your mind today?
Lu Yibei summarized the key points briefly, and concluded: "To put it bluntly, in people's eyes I'm just a good-looking sycophant, someone who makes them look good when they're out in public."
He really didn't want to say more.
Firstly, the fact that Qingqian was actually her gender struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him completely bewildered.
Secondly, it seemed unnecessary for a boy like him to talk about another girl with another girl.
“You always say you’re broken, but the white moonlight is perfect. Look, it’s just that the brokenness is less obvious,” Qingqian said.
"You're right."
"Want me to say a few words of abuse to her for you?"
"Need not."
"You're still reluctant to part with it?"
"There's no need."
Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "That's true."
Lu Yibei sighed, "I was hoping to get a rating and cheer myself up, but my account got banned. It's like when it rains, it pours. I'm so angry I don't even want to eat."
Qingqian calmly replied, "I'll bring you back another day."
"We're on your side, heroine," Lu Yibei said.
"And another thing," Qingqian said, "You haven't had dinner?"
"I originally planned to eat after I finished playing."
It's 8:30.
Lu Yibei: "Wait a little longer, then we'll go get something good to eat."
"What?"
Spicy beef.
"noodle?"
"You understand me."
Qingqian said with a hint of sarcasm, "I remember you once said that you were a young master who could afford to go abroad to study."
"Isn't it because he didn't want to go that his family kicked him out? What kind of rich young master is he? He's just a poor guy who has to earn his own tuition and rent."
After being kicked out of his home, Lu Yibei didn't go back for summer vacation, so he rented a studio apartment not far from the university.
On the other hand, given that they were so close, Zhou Zhou's apology only involved a phone call, which shows a complete lack of sincerity.
"Are you still going abroad?" Qingqian asked.
There was a strange tension in her voice when she asked the question.
"Huh? Why are you asking that?"
