The next day, early morning.
Lu Yibei heard a rustling sound.
He opened his half-closed eyes and, in the dim light, saw that Zhao Xun was already sitting on the edge of the bed.
Lu Yibei pulled his phone out of his pillow again; it showed 6 a.m.
Zhao Xun, probably noticing the light from the phone screen, said:
Did I wake you up?
Lu Yibei didn't blame him, but because he was sleepy, he had difficulty speaking:
"...What's wrong, Brother Sun? Is it possible we'll still see the sunrise today?"
They originally planned to watch the sunrise at the beach in Shitang Town.
But after some research yesterday, we found that the weather was really not cooperating, so we gave up on it.
"It's overcast," Zhao Xun said casually.
“Then…” Lu Yibei asked.
"But it's almost dawn, I'm going out for a walk," Zhao Xun said.
“Damn…you’re really in the mood,” Lu Yibei said.
“You can continue sleeping,” Zhao Xun said.
“…Nonsense, only a dog would go out with you,” Lu Yibei said.
Zhao Xun slammed her pillow down on Lu Yibei's head.
"Idiot, you're the dog."
Lu Yibei didn't feel anything was wrong and hugged the pillow tightly.
He shrank back down and entered the sealed barrier of the blankets, falling into a deep sleep.
When I got up again, it was already past eight o'clock.
…
“Then, the bamboo shoots disappeared,” Lu Yibei said.
He lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. It wasn't raining, but the sky was still foggy.
It was a typical cloudy day.
He was in his girlfriend's and his classmate Xiao Ma's room.
My girlfriend just finished washing her face and is now applying lip gloss. She gave a soft "hmm".
Lu Yibei then said, "I still haven't seen Sun'er—where's your partner?"
Ji Qingqian pursed her lips in front of the mirror before speaking:
"I don't know. But judging from what you're saying, she probably left early this morning too... just like your husband."
"What do you mean by 'I don't know'?"
“I wasn’t woken up this morning,” Ji Qingqian said, then glared at Lu Yibei with a scolding look: “Don’t you dare say I slept like a pig.”
Lu Yibei: ...
Ji Qingqian raised an eyebrow: "I predicted it, didn't I, you bad North?"
Lu Yibei let out an "Ah," gave an awkward laugh, and immediately changed the subject:
"Don't you think there's something fishy about these two? It's so strange, it's been like this ever since that day at Shenxianju..."
Ji Qingqian applied some moisturizing lotion.
She even put some in her palm, then frantically rubbed her boyfriend's face:
"you do not know?"
Lu Yibei asked, puzzled: "Know what? =3="
Ji Qingqian chuckled: "Pig brain~"
Lu Yibei: ...
Look how unfair that is!
He himself couldn't say it, but his girlfriend could say it offhand.
But what can you do? Someone else's voice is nicer than yours, and their mannerisms are cuter.
"You know?" Lu Yibei asked again.
"I know a lot!"
Ji Qingqian said smugly, "I chatted with Jiaojiao until midnight yesterday... But she actually got up early this morning, she's really energetic."
Lu Yibei slapped his thigh.
Look! It has to be the girls' dormitory! What a strong friendship!!
What's wrong with Zhao Sun? He doesn't say a word and he's disturbing people's sleep.
“Tell me, tell me,” Lu Yibei immediately exclaimed.
"Why would I tell you for nothing?" Ji Qingqian squinted her eyes.
Then she sat on the edge of her boyfriend's bed, pressing her slender white fingertips against her cheek. Her cheek was soft, and it sank in slightly when pressed.
Lu Yibei planted a kiss on it.
"Who told you to kiss me? I told you to tell me I'm pretty!"
Ji Qingqian snorted in dissatisfaction...a typical case of getting the benefit and then acting innocent.
Lu Yibei stared at his girlfriend, whose dark eyebrows and eyes held a hint of smugness, and without hesitation:
"In the north there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation."
"Yes, I can speak."
Ji Qingqian nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "Then I'll tell you some less surprising information first."
“Mm,” Lu Yibei said.
"Your partner confessed to my partner yesterday," Ji Qingqian said casually.
Lu Yibei: ?
"What!" He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
Confession?
yesterday?
--wrong!
"Are you sure it's my partner who's like your partner?" Lu Yibei asked.
Ji Qingqian nodded firmly: "Jiaojiao wouldn't lie to me about this."
Lu Yibei also felt that way.
Xiao Ma is an honest person.
If she can win over Sun'er, she won't care who confessed first.
Only someone like Sister Chu would be so concerned about saving face that even if she confessed her feelings, she would insist on saying that someone else was pursuing her…
Lu Yibei was deeply shocked:
"…Grass."
To be honest, he had already started to imagine that after this trip, under Xiao Ma's repeated advances, Sun'er would be unable to resist and gradually fall for him... He even imagined what it would be like for him to fall in love later.
but.
...Huh? Sun'er is confessing her love?
"...It seems that Sun'er likes Xiao Ma even more than I thought," Lu Yibei remarked.
"Of course, my Jiaojiao is so cute~ Who wouldn't love her~"
Ji Qingqian, however, had an expression that said she had expected this all along.
Lu Yibei was still shocked.
But after the initial shock, he smiled slightly.
Although it was unexpected, that's precisely why "surprise" is so captivating.
…
"...I'm back...I'm so tired."
After Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief, she sat on her bed in her room and looked at Lu Yibei again: "...No, Lu Yibei, why are you looking at me with that shitty look?"
…
…
P.S. Oh, about yesterday's drinking.
Actually, I drank quite a bit.
A large bottle of Coke.
He wasn't drunk at all.
Don't worry, it's an enormous amount.
