Ji Qingqian had just come out of the bathroom.
She clutched the collar of the T-shirt, sniffing it. It smelled nice, like laundry detergent, but not like Ah Bei's scent; it seemed he didn't wear it often.
Then he saw Lu Yibei's blank and frightened expression.
"What's wrong?"
Only after hearing Ji Qingqian's question did Lu Yibei manage to calm down.
He wanted to laugh, but his lips could only twitch slightly.
"...Auntie called."
"'Aunt'?"
Ji Qingqian felt that the title was really unfamiliar, and only after picking up her phone did she realize... it was her mother.
It's perfectly reasonable for Abei to call her "Auntie".
Although she was raised in a free-range manner, it was still the first time she had traveled alone across half of the country to study abroad, and her parents would call to check on her every few days during this time.
I didn't expect to fight today too.
She pursed her lips.
He glanced at Lu Yibei again, no wonder he looked so wary.
...Before even leaving the starting village, we were greeted by the final boss.
"Does Auntie recognize me?" Lu Yibei asked.
Ji Qingqian shook her head.
“If she finds out you’re here, she’ll definitely yell at you, right?” Lu Yibei asked again.
Ji Qingqian nodded.
Lu Yibei took several deep breaths in succession.
"Then you can answer it..."
Looking at Lu Yibei's expression, which seemed like he was about to be executed, Ji Qingqian suddenly felt like laughing.
But I forced myself to endure it.
Lu Yibei added:
“If they scold you too harshly, give me your phone… I’ll talk to your aunt.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Qingqian's eyes; Lu Yibei didn't seem to be joking.
“She even insults me, so she’ll definitely insult you even more harshly.”
“It’s okay…I’ll talk to her.”
"You've really never been cursed at by someone from Northeast China."
There's always a first time.
Lu Yibei's smile was somewhat stiff. As if comforting Ji Qingqian, he added, "It's alright, I'll talk to Auntie properly..."
Although it was the female knight who suggested that the woman stay overnight.
But I did not refuse.
Lu Yibei felt that if Ji's mother felt guilty, then he and the female knight should be held jointly responsible.
We can't just hide behind the heroine; even if we get scolded, we should at least express our attitude.
Ji Qingqian's dark eyebrows curved into a smile. Compared to Lu Yibei's nervousness, she was not afraid at all, but rather cheerful.
"Stupid North."
As she said this, the call ended automatically at the designated time.
Ji Qingqian called again, but it was just a phone call, no video. She muttered softly, "As long as she doesn't find out, that's fine, isn't it?"
She was thinking so fast when she spoke to her roommate on her behalf.
Now they've become inflexible and don't know how to adapt.
However, Ji Qing thought that Abei's stupidity was not real stupidity, but rather a responsible character and an attitude that could give her a sense of security.
He really is a good man, very good.
He was very genuine with her, and he was the same way with her parents.
I will definitely let my parents meet him in the future, but the time is not right yet.
Look how nervous he is. Although his eyes are firm, he'll probably blurt out something when he actually starts talking.
She speaks fluently and confidently to the dormitory aunt and security guard, as if she can win everyone's favor.
Well, perhaps her parents hold a special place in Abei's heart.
The call was connected.
"Um…"
When Ji Qingqian spoke to her family, her voice was clear: "...Oh, it's Dad. Why did you take Mom's phone?...I already told you, it wasn't that I didn't answer your call last time, I just really didn't hear it."
It wasn't an aunt, but an uncle.
Lu Yibei was quick-witted; this single sentence led him to a conclusion after a series of high-frequency calculations.
Qingqian didn't hear her uncle's call last time, and he thought his daughter disliked him, so this time he used his aunt's phone.
=Uncle, is a doting father to his daughter.
“…”
Lu Yibei's mind worked even faster.
Although he didn't consider himself to be of particularly high moral character, he wasn't the kind of blond-haired guy who would ask, "Is it safe for my ghost fire to stop downstairs?"
But in his uncle's eyes, it might not be so; he might still be that pig that's rooting up cabbages.
Immediately afterward, a middle-aged version of the former "Young Hero Qingqian" appeared before his eyes.
He's over 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular physique.
Upon seeing him, I punched him twice on the bridge of his nose.
Blood and gore.
He didn't dare to fight back.
"Okay, let's not video chat anymore, the lights are all off here," Ji Qingqian said.
At this time, the university dormitory lights are really out.
She glanced at Lu Yibei again.
The young man stood upright, not daring to utter a sound.
"Okay, yes, I understand..."
As Ji Qingqian spoke, she wanted to tickle Lu Yibei and tease him a little.
But fearing that Lu Yibei would actually laugh out loud, she gave up on this mischievous idea.
He said a couple more words.
Ji Qingqian hung up the phone.
"...Hang up?" Lu Yibei asked softly.
"I didn't hang up," Ji Qing said calmly.
Lu Yibei immediately regretted it and covered her mouth.
Ji Qingqian found it amusing and stopped teasing him: "Okay, I'm hanging up."
"call."
Lu Yibei immediately let out a sigh of relief, and slumped onto the bamboo mat, leaning against the edge of the bed as if he had fallen apart.
It's more tiring than playing a full-court basketball game at school.
"You still dare to argue with my parents like this?" Ji Qingqian pouted slightly, seemingly disdainful, but actually full of joy.
“…Give it a try, what if it works?” Lu Yibei scratched his stiff scalp.
"audacious in the extreme."
Ji Qingqian snorted, "Try again later, your level isn't high enough yet."
