Lu Yibei did not participate in the grand New Year team building activity posted on Chu Chu's WeChat Moments.
Two reasons.
Firstly, he still respected Chu Chu.
Ren Chuchu took some beautiful photos—although they were photoshopped to look like a snake spirit, that's her aesthetic, and she certainly hopes everyone can focus on her as a person.
They all went to her side to make a fuss...
That's not good, not good.
The second reason is insignificant and not worth mentioning.
He didn't have Chu Chu's WeChat.
He only found out afterward.
…
Another day has passed.
"Ai-chan, open the curtains."
Lu Yibei called out.
As he stood up from his computer screen, Ji Qingqian also took off her headphones.
Neither Mr. Ji nor Mrs. Ji came today; the young couple were completely absorbed in the game world.
It was only now that I came to my senses that I realized it was already late at night.
As the smart home system activated, the curtains were slowly drawn open.
Neon lights flashed outside the window, and there were only a few cars on the road.
Lu Yibei stretched, looked up at the dark sky, whistled, and hummed a tune:
"The moon shines on the Milky Way, the road ahead is long and winding..."
He glanced back at his girlfriend, who was looking up at him, and couldn't help but smile.
There was a strange sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
Some people may think that couples should hold hands and go shopping together, but if you meet the right person, you can feel happy even if you stay at home.
Ji Qingqian seemed not to grasp Lu Yibei's sudden emotions. She was slightly puzzled and tilted her head slightly.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Yibei asked.
The two of them just grabbed something quick and easy for dinner tonight.
Ji Qingqian nodded.
"Late-night snack?" Lu Yibei asked again.
Ji Qingqian thought for a moment: "Takeout?"
Lu Yibei checked the time; it was almost midnight.
Are any shops still open?
"Definitely." Ji Qingqian said with certainty.
"How about we go out to eat? You've been sitting at home for two days, it's good to get some exercise," Lu Yibei suggested.
Ji Qingqian replied without hesitation, "Okay."
"You're the one choosing the store?"
"certainly."
This is, after all, Ji Qingqian's territory—lately, she either eats at home or goes out with her parents. Ji Qingqian hasn't had a chance to properly showcase the taste of this old Northeasterner…
As a native of Northeast China, I am naturally confident and adept at choosing the best restaurants in my hometown.
Its core secret lies in...
"...Meituan?"
Lu Yibei saw Ji Qingqian open a yellow app.
Ji Qingqian: ...
“Oh, there’s even Dianping (a Chinese review platform).” Lu Yibei added.
Ji Qingqian: ...
She pretended not to hear, selected a store, and carefully compared the two apps.
Finally—
“Be meticulous, and finally search using Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book).” Lu Yibei nodded affirmatively.
"Shut up."
After being exposed, Ji Qingqian, a native of Northeast China, was embarrassed and annoyed, but then immediately made up an excuse for herself: "This restaurant hasn't been open for long, and I haven't eaten there before. Of course, I need to study it carefully."
"How's the research going?" Lu Yibei asked.
"The reviews are very good."
Ji Qingqian nodded affirmatively: "It's worth a try."
"Shall we walk?"
Lu Yibei smiled and asked, "Where is it? Is it far?"
Ji Qingqian: ...
She took out her phone again and started checking the address.
Lu Yibei sighed with heartfelt emotion:
"They've really done their research thoroughly; they even double-checked the address."
Ji Qingqian didn't confirm it repeatedly; she hadn't even paid attention to the address at all—of course, she could hear the slight sarcasm in her boyfriend's tone.
Without any hesitation, she kicked her boyfriend in the shin.
"Some people seem to be talking a bit too much."
But the leg technique, though seemingly fierce, was surprisingly light, and Lu Yibei didn't feel any pain at all when kicked.
He chuckled and leaned over, glancing at the map location his girlfriend had opened. His hand ran through her soft, black hair, gently stroking it: "Where is it?"
"Hey... it's so close to my school."
"School?"
"Yes, the mountain is high."
…
It was already midnight, and the school area was naturally deserted.
There is a pedestrian overpass at the school gate.
The sign "Erbin Qunshan High School" on the top floor of the school is clearly visible.
Lu Yibei parked the car haphazardly.
I opened the car door, went to the fence outside the school, and glanced inside a few times.
It was very dark inside, and you couldn't see anything at all.
And it was quite cold, accompanied by a cold wind.
Lu Yibei had his hands in his pockets and was wearing a hood.
Ji Qingqian, a student who graduated from this school, followed behind him.
"There's nothing to see, it's old and shabby—"
Lu Yibei was quite interested; even though he could only see a few outlines in the darkness, he pointed and asked:
"Hey, heroine, what's that?"
"Student apartments—that is, dormitories."
"What about over there?"
"Swimming pool".
"Wow, there's even a swimming pool!"
This gave the young man from the countryside near Hangzhou a bit of a shock.
“There are also swimming lessons,” Ji Qingqian said.
Lu Yibei turned around in surprise to look at his girlfriend, sizing her up. Her slender yet curvaceous figure was now hidden by a thick down jacket.
Ji Qingqian knew what he was thinking and spat, "Boys and girls are in separate classes."
Lu Yibei declared righteously, "It's alright, I can dress as a woman."
No, it wouldn't work even if you dressed as a woman in swimming class.
