Xia Li walked up to Lu Yibei before speaking in a low voice:
"Hey Bei, are you out studying with your girlfriend?"
Lu Yibei nodded: "You're out studying with your boyfriend too?"
The summer potatoes haven't even opened yet.
Lu Yibei watched as Li Si pushed up his glasses, a faint smile playing on his lips.
…Smug my foot. Lu Yibei curled his lip.
Xia Li glanced at the fox beside her. She was still a little unaccustomed to it, but she nodded and responded softly:
"Yes, that's right."
Then Lu Yibei saw Li Si's smile become even more pronounced.
"We agreed that if she doesn't fail her courses, I'll take her out to play," Li Si said.
"Where are we going?" Lu Yibei asked casually.
Li Si: "That hasn't been decided yet."
Xia Lixing glared at him, immediately showing her displeasure:
"Didn't we agree to go to the Shanghai Aquarium? You broke your promise—"
Li Si pushed up his glasses again, concealing his achievements and fame.
Lu Yibei: ...
Summer potatoes are really being manipulated.
Li Si smiled faintly and agreed, "Okay."
Xia Tudou then asked, "Brother Bei, do you want to come along?"
Lu Yibei: "Let's see."
This might be the first official date between Chairman Li and Xia Tudou... He has no interest in being a third wheel.
Before they were together, Chairman Li could use him as bait to trick Xia Tudou. Now that they're together, he's still using this trick. What a waste of time they've been together!
"Oh." Xia Li didn't insist.
Li Si smiled and said, "The premise is that you have to pass all the tests. Alright, time to study... Let's go over there. Come on, say goodbye to Brother Bei and Junior Sister Ji."
“I don’t need your teaching—” Xia Li gently kicked Li Si’s shin.
It shouldn't be Lu Yibei's imagination; the force with which he stomped was less than usual.
I don't know if it was to avoid disturbing other students in the library, or for some other reason...
Lu Yibei felt it was the latter.
Li Si didn't feel any pain. He looked at the little girl who was not even as tall as his chin, but had a proud and energetic look on her face.
As the two figures walked away, Lu Yibei sighed softly.
"It smells so sour and stinky..."
Ji Qingqian also pinched her nose, as if trying to drive away some kind of odor: "Disgusting..."
Lu Yibei sighed again: "Why do these people act like this when they're in love?"
Ji Qingqian agreed: "It's disgusting, I can't stand it."
Lu Yibei smiled confidently and said lightly, "Luckily, my girlfriend is even cuter."
Ji Qingqian crossed her arms and nodded: "My boyfriend is even more outstanding."
Lu Yibei cupped his hands in a fist salute to Ji Qingqian and said, "Congratulations."
Ji Qingqian returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, expressionless: "Congratulations to you too."
Having had her reading progress slightly interrupted by this little incident, Ji Qingqian was about to refocus on her textbook when another question suddenly occurred to her:
"Abei."
"Um?"
"You're the one who introduced the student council president to the cake shop owned by the senior student, right?"
"Um."
"He's known this senior for so long, how come he didn't know her family owns a shop?"
Logically speaking, given the senior student's carefree personality, she would have already revealed the truth even without being asked.
Lu Yibei was taken aback and then chuckled... He hadn't expected his little girlfriend to be so observant as to notice this detail.
Xia Li never liked to talk about her family.
Lu Yibei said with a smile, "So I thought, maybe she hadn't told the president either, so I gave it a try."
Ji Qingqian nodded, then hesitated, as if unsure whether she could continue asking questions.
Seeing his girlfriend's cautious demeanor, Lu Yibei explained:
"It's alright. Xia Li doesn't bring it up herself because it's a habit... She doesn't actually dislike it, otherwise I wouldn't have introduced the president to her. Yes, it's related to her father."
Ji Qingqian whispered even lower: "Your senior's father passed away, right?"
"Hmm...unnatural death."
…
Xia Li sat down, opened her book, and before she had even read two lines, she looked up at the fox beside her and said:
“I told my mom about what happened between us.”
Li Si calmly hummed in agreement, then adjusted his glasses with slightly trembling fingers.
To be honest, even in his dreams, he never imagined that his relationship with Xia Li could progress so quickly.
"She invited you to come over to her house sometime later... and meet my dad while you're there."
Xia Li carefully observed the fox's expression.
She had to admit that this fox was indeed very composed. No wonder he was a seasoned speaker. Even when faced with the suggestion of "meeting the parents," he only frowned slightly and remained calm.
"Is there anything I need to bring?" Li Si asked.
Xia Li rested her chin on her hands and thought for a moment:
"As for my mom... just wear the trench coat you wore before, she thinks you look great in it."
Li Si nodded.
He was quite satisfied with this.
However, thankfully I was dressed formally at the time.
"For my dad, just bring some money."
Xia Li laughed heartily, "It seems that Tiandi Bank recently issued unlimited banknotes. Let's give them to my dad together."
Li Si was stunned for a moment, then nodded very seriously: "Okay, I will definitely prepare well."
Upon hearing this, Xia Li immediately glared at the fox: "How come you're not surprised at all? Brother Bei told you all this?"
Li Si shook his head: "No, I guessed it."
Because in the materials this girl submitted, the only contact person listed was her mother, and in their daily conversations, she would only say things like "My mom recently...", "I'll go talk to my mom", or "I'll go keep my mom company", and she almost never mentioned her father.
