“…Okay, then I’ll revise it for you two, Bei-ge and Ji-xue-mei.”
Li Si agreed with Ji Qingqian's method.
Although the "welcome party" is essentially a chance for upperclassmen to showcase their talents to first-year students, freshmen generally won't refuse if they're willing to go on stage.
Once they had made up their minds, they never mentioned it again.
The meal took about an hour.
In the end, Xia Tudou paid the bill.
Lu Yibei was quite happy:
"Hundreds of years have passed, and I'm finally eating a meal that Xia Li treats me to again... Let me tell you, before, when we went out, she would only buy me a small pudding ice cream."
Xia Li stared at Lu Yibei with her round, almond-shaped eyes:
"Isn't the little pudding delicious?"
Both couples were going back to school.
However, Lu Yibei deliberately took a detour, saying he was going to buy fruit near the North Gate.
Li Si glanced at him with a hint of gratitude.
Look at Brother Bei, he's reliable.
It has nothing to do with whether he's reliable or not. If he can be alone with his beautiful girl, who the hell wants to hang out with you guys?
Moreover, he could tell that the heroine Qingqian seemed to want to have a private chat with him.
Sure enough, after Xia Tudou and the old fox had walked a little further away, Ji Qingqian spoke.
"Abei."
"Um."
"We must sing well."
"good."
"I hate her."
“…”
"I want to beat her."
Ji Qingqian, who was walking in front of Lu Yibei, turned around and looked at Lu Yibei with icy eyes: "We must win."
Lu Yibei gazed into her eyes, and after a moment of silence, he chuckled softly.
"Um."
"This is my revenge against her."
She had almost forgotten who Zhou Zhou was.
But unexpectedly, she jumped out on her own again.
This time, she absolutely wouldn't let her off the hook.
Ji Qingqian's calm demeanor carried a hint of ferocity.
His usually cool eyes even showed a rare hint of impatience and irritability.
She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, then looked up at his little boy. She pursed her lips and asked with some concern, "Abei, do you think I'm too childish?"
"What?"
"Having this pointless competitive spirit."
"Have you forgotten why I insisted on playing with you in the first place?"
Lu Yibei countered with a question, then laughed and said, "Because you can lead me to victory. You can always lead me to victory."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qing chuckled softly:
"Then we must win now."
“Yes, let’s keep winning as usual.” Lu Yibei nodded.
He gazed at the girl before him.
And the girl's sincerity, passion, coldness, calmness, restlessness... and the ferocity in her eyes just now.
Lu Yibei sighed.
Ji Qingqian was so brave and quiet that he almost forgot the pain she had endured in the past.
"Qingqian".
"exist."
"Come here, let me give you a hug."
"...Outside."
"Can't we hug in public? You're my girlfriend."
"No...it'll be seen, it'll be so embarrassing."
It's less about feeling ashamed and more about feeling embarrassed.
There are quite a lot of people on this street.
Ji Qingqian's clear black and white eyes darted around, and she said softly, "Let's go back to the apartment... You can hug me however you want."
Lu Yibei: ...
"Come."
Ji Qingqian extended her pale white hand to the boy: "Let me hold your hand first."
Rather than letting the boy lead her, it would be more accurate to say that Ji Qingqian grabbed the latter's hand and pressed her entire body against it.
She complained slightly:
"The wind is so strong... Is this what autumn is like in Jiangnan?"
Lu Yibei also squeezed closer to her.
“Who says otherwise?” he laughed.
Since the heroine is so eager to win, then we must take this seriously.
Lu Yibei thought to himself.
Let's find some outside help.
Hao Zhangwen! Step forward!
…
"A plate of potatoes costs thirty-five yuan..."
Xia Li looked at the bill the restaurant had printed for her, her face full of heartache: "Even if you cooked me, you wouldn't be able to sell me for thirty-five—"
As she spoke, she turned and glared at Li Si:
"You're not allowed to tell Brother Bei!"
At least she treated everyone to a meal as an apology.
If the old fox were to slip up and tell Lu Yibei about her current complaint about the high restaurant prices...
She would be incredibly embarrassed.
…Although it seems that Li Si and Lu Yibei's relationship isn't good enough for them to discuss such things in private.
However, the two had only met a few times, yet they were already so familiar with each other, which made Xia Li have to be on guard.
Li Si said calmly:
"Xia Li, we've known each other for so long... and this is the first time you've ever treated me to a meal. In the end, I'm just taking advantage of Brother Bei. You should reflect on that."
"You make it sound like you treat me to meals all the time—"
"Thank you."
"You used the activity fund! When we don't have the fund, don't we student council members always split the bill when we go out?"
"Well, that's still an invitation."
Li Si adjusted his glasses.
"...You really have the nerve to say that."
Xia Li was furious. Although she didn't confront Lu Yibei about Li Si's mistakes in the Zhou Zhou incident, she even took full responsibility out of loyalty.
But they'll settle scores later.
Li Si adjusted his glasses again, appearing quite calm.
"...Actually, I didn't tell Brother Bei that I had another way to teach Zhou a lesson."
Xia Li: ?
Li Si was mysterious.
Xia Li was anxious: "Hurry up and tell me!"
“In that case, if this method works, you’ll have to treat me to dinner,” Li Si said.
"...What if it doesn't work?"
"I'll reluctantly treat you to dinner."
