"alright."
Lu Yibei scolded his girlfriend, who was burping from eating so much, and laughed, "As expected of a chef's delicious food, I can never get enough..."
Ji Qingqian did not answer him.
His shoulders trembled again, and he let out an "uh".
"Keep it."
Lu Yibei looked at the leftovers on the table.
Since everyone tacitly agreed to leave most of the crab legs to Lady Qingqian, there were still quite a few left.
He flicked the crab shells that Ji Qingqian had chewed into the bowl and said:
"We can eat it tomorrow too."
"...Delicious...uh..."
She seemed to have really choked, and then let out another burp.
"Let's rest for a bit before eating. Crab legs can be eaten as a snack anyway."
Lu Yibei casually tidied the table and then pulled out a few tissues.
He still had time to speak.
Ji Qingqian obediently spread her slender white fingers in front of her.
…like a child.
Lu Yibei found it amusing, but also thoughtfully wiped the specks of soy sauce off her fingers.
Do you want me to wash... uh, the dishes for you?
As Ji Qingqian spoke, her delicate body trembled, and she hiccuped, finally managing to finish the sentence.
"Go get some water first," Lu Yibei said helplessly.
"…good."
As Ji Qingqian spoke, she walked out of the restaurant and then let out a soft "uh".
"Sister Qingqian—"
The calming voice came down from the third floor.
"…exist."
"Could you come up and down a bit?"
"good."
Lu Yibei overheard this conversation in the kitchen.
And there was the sound of Ji Qingqian's footsteps as she walked upstairs.
You brat.
Lu Yibei muttered a curse under his breath, "He didn't even bother to go home after finishing his meal..."
Speaking of which, this girl went out alone.
No matter where she goes, her mother will always call to urge her to come home when it's time.
Her mother felt especially at ease only when she was with him.
"...I really hope Auntie can urge her too."
Lu Yibei muttered to himself as he pulled out a fruit knife.
Click.
First, I bought a cantaloupe from a fruit shop next to the market, cut it open, and then pried out all the seeds.
Then, tap tap tap.
In no time, I cut it neatly and placed it on a white porcelain plate.
Then he went to find the Dengzhou apples that Chen Jingyi had brought and peeled them skillfully.
Then slice the tender white flesh and insert a few thin toothpicks.
Lu Yibei crossed his arms, tilted his head to look at the beautifully arranged fruit, and was quite satisfied:
"I really envy Shen Jingyi for having such a good older brother."
"...Sigh, my sister is much worse than her brother."
"Not only can I cook, but I can also prepare fruit platters for her and even teach her... No wonder my aunt is so at ease with me; I'm practically the role model for older brothers..."
Speaking of which...
Lu Yibei finally realized something and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
He rushed straight out the door while taking out his phone to send a message.
【Heading North: Are you there?】
【Heading North: Vice Chairman】
Then he turned around again and rushed back to pick up the forgotten fruit plate.
He took a swift step, combining three steps into two, and rushed straight upstairs.
Saving Private Ji Qingqian is gone!
On the third floor, I opened the door to the study.
Just as Lu Yibei had predicted.
Ji Qingqian sat at her desk, making revisions to a draft paper.
Halfway there, she glanced at Shen Jingyi beside her, who looked on with longing.
"...This step is wrong."
Ji Qingqian said to her sister in a low voice, "This question is a little difficult. I even fooled it... Hmm, it will take a little time to solve."
Chen Jingyi nodded with an "Mmm," and obediently answered:
"This question falls into the category of advanced questions, and it is indeed quite difficult."
Ji Qingqian grabbed another sheet of draft paper and began to do calculations.
With her expressionless face, icy eyes, and sharp eyebrows, she truly looked like a female science whiz.
Lu Yibei, however, knew this.
His girlfriend seems calm and collected, but she's actually panicking.
That is indeed the case.
Looking at this past exam question, Ji Qingqian actually had some ideas coming to her mind…
But it's like a tangled ball of yarn; you only find the beginning, but it's hard to straighten it out.
Ji Qingqian even felt a sense of despair.
She prayed to the gods, but the only response she received was from her past self two years prior!
—Why is it me from two years ago?! If it were me from a year ago… no, four months ago, I might be able to solve this problem.
no.
Ji Qingqian was starting to doubt her life. Could she really have solved this kind of problem before?
How was her brain functioning back then?
"…elder brother."
Chen Jingyi heard the door open.
Ji Qingqian also turned around, her cool eyes revealing a conflicted feeling.
On the one hand, they wanted to ask for help.
On the other hand, she was also afraid that if Ah Bei solved the problem that stumped her, then she wouldn't be so impressive in her sister's eyes...
Although Ji Qingqian thought that Abei was more capable than her, it wasn't a big deal.
However, she rarely has the experience of spending time with people who are close in age but are younger than her, so she still hopes that in her younger sister's eyes, she can still be seen as that "powerful older sister"...
"Hmm? Doing homework?" Lu Yibei asked.
“…Hmm.” Ji Qingqian nodded heavily.
"Let me see..."
Lu Yibei pulled over the exam paper, and it really was physics again…
Indeed, there were quite a few students who suffered persecution at the hands of Grandpa Niu.
Ji Qingqian felt that her younger sister's studies were more important than her own face, so she did not stop her.
