Lu Yibei: "Let me see it."
He wanted to compete with Qingqian for it, but her next words made him behave.
"Underwear."
Lu Yibei immediately withdrew his outstretched hand, unsure of what to do next. He could only scratch the back of his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh, I see..."
The cool and aloof heroine glanced at him:
"abnormal."
Lu Yibei explained: "An accident."
Ji Qingqian: "You still have the mind to rhyme?"
Then, she loosened the straps of her backpack.
Lu Yibei didn't feel comfortable unzipping the zipper to check it more closely.
Indeed, his gaze was also intentionally or unintentionally directed towards the white backpack.
It seemed as if it was trying to glean some clue from the tight zipper seams.
The angel in his left ear told him that these were the heroine's personal belongings, and that it would be immoral for him to keep peeking into them, he knew that.
The demon in his right ear told him that maintaining curiosity about the unknown is the noblest instinct of mankind; otherwise, if Sir Bull had been hit by an apple, he would have at most gotten a small bump.
Then the angel and the demon spoke together:
Do you understand? It's perverted.
This bizarre remark brought Lu Yibei back to his senses, and he finally looked away.
"Heroine, shall we go get something to eat?"
Ji Qingqian nodded.
Dinner on the 25th was particularly simple; it was at a small restaurant near the apartment, serving the most home-style dishes.
It's inexpensive and not bad.
One of the most admirable qualities of Qingqian is that she is not a picky eater.
Even the fatty meat that Lu Yibei found hard to swallow, she could pick out and put into her own mouth.
Moreover, he ate with great relish and had a large appetite, able to eat two bowls of rice in one go.
He has the forthright and generous spirit of a man from Northeast China.
After finishing the meal, you can still gulp down a few mouthfuls of delicious sugary drinks, and then let out a soft burp.
The only thing that came out at the very end was the slightly childish burp, which completely destroyed the image of the heroic female warrior and transformed her into the cutest girl in the world.
It was still early after we finished eating, only a little past six o'clock.
The two took a walk outside the apartment for a while to digest their food, and bought some snacks to eat on the way home.
It was getting dark, and only a few specks of the red sunset remained.
There were people taking walks in the neighborhood where the apartment was located.
Most of them are young parents with their toddlers who are just learning to speak.
Lu Yibei walked behind carrying the bag, while the female knight walked a few steps ahead of him with her hands behind her back.
Young children cannot distinguish right from wrong, but perhaps they are born with an aesthetic sense.
He actually started giggling at the female knight.
Ji Qingqian found it amusing and smiled.
When the parents saw their baby looking away and chuckling, they couldn't help but look at Ji Qingqian as well.
Although they were complete strangers, the man who had become a new father nodded to Ji Qingqian in greeting, and the mother smiled kindly in return.
Facing a stranger, Ji Qingqian immediately felt a little embarrassed. She quickly slowed down, while Lu Yibei quickened his pace.
"So cute."
Lu Yibei smiled and helped Ji Qingqian continue the conversation: "She's over six months old, right?"
“Yes, almost seven months,” the new father replied.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they went their separate ways.
Ji Qingqian followed Lu Yibei, and she couldn't help but look back. The streetlights cast long shadows of the family of three.
"How do you know it's over six months old?" Ji Qingqian asked.
"They've started teething, they're basically a little over six months old," Lu Yibei said with a light laugh.
“…Oh.” Ji Qingqian nodded.
She looked back again, but the family was no longer visible: "They looked like a happy family."
“Yes,” Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qing pursed her lips, wanting to laugh, but she held back and didn't make a sound.
In that family's eyes, were they the same as Ah Bei?
"Abei~" she called out to Lu Yibei.
"Hmm?" Lu Yibei replied.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call out to you."
With her hands behind her back, Ji Qingqian walked side by side with Lu Yibei, her steps light as if she had no weight.
“Ah,” Lu Yibei said.
"Abei~"
"Um."
"Abei~~"
"exist."
The boy patiently answered the girl's slightly cheerful calls again and again.
...
Back at the apartment.
Ji Qingqian picked up her backpack: "I need to use the restroom."
"good."
"No peeking."
"Heroine, what do you take me for?"
"And you're not allowed to eavesdrop."
"No, that's asking too much!"
"Hmph~"
Ji Qingqian wrinkled her small nose and then closed the bathroom door.
Lu Yibei sat cross-legged on the bed, glancing disdainfully at the locked door.
Then, he picked up the unread copy of "The Red and Blue Frozen in Time" from his desk, placed it on his lap, and opened it.
As the saying goes, "In books, you'll find beauty like jade, and in books, you'll find houses of gold."
Don't let external things disturb your peace of mind.
Besides, this isn't the first time the heroine has used her bathroom. Whether it's taking a shower, using the toilet, or changing clothes, there's always a wall separating them.
Ha, what can we do?
In the bathroom, Ji Qingqian unzipped her backpack.
There were indeed underwear worn close to the skin inside.
But what Lu Yibei saw just now was not them.
Instead, it was a rather thin horse-face skirt.
The horse-face skirt is also a type of Hanfu, and it has become quite popular in the last two years.
Those overly formal dresses are a bit heavy; although they look nice, they're a bit hot and cumbersome to wear.
