Lu Yibei first took Chen Jingyi home.
He then drove the female warrior back to her old home.
Along the way, Ji Qingqian held the cup of milk tea that her boyfriend hadn't finished:
"Abei, you should have seen 'You Are the Apple of My Eye,' right?"
“Yeah, around the time we were about to graduate from junior high, our homeroom teacher showed us this movie, and he said it was perfect for us,” Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian smiled lightly:
"Is it because it fits the graduation atmosphere perfectly?"
"No."
Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, "Because he played the all-ages version, which was suitable for us since we were all minors at the time."
Ji Qingqian: ...
The full title of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" is "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
It tells the story of the youthful romance of a small group of teenagers led by Ko Ching-teng and Shen Chia-yi.
One scene involves a boy challenging a girl's exam scores, with the agreement that if he loses, he will shave all his hair.
Just like Jiang Jing.
The other bet was that if the boy won, the girl would have to tie her hair in a ponytail.
In the end, the boy lost and got to shave his head, becoming the coolest guy ever. The girls who won, however, did just as the boy had wished, and started wearing braids.
Ji Qingqian couldn't help but sigh:
"The name 'Calm Instrument' is truly well-chosen..."
Lu Yibei, however, said:
"The cause and effect are reversed. It's because her name is Shen Jingyi, which reminds people of 'Shen Jiayi,' that the boy made that kind of bet with her... And it's not a coincidence at all, which is why the same plot as in the movie happened. Shen Jingyi has also seen that movie, and she did it on purpose... These young people nowadays."
Ji Qingqian couldn't help but glance at her boyfriend, who spoke in such an old-fashioned tone.
"You're talking like a dorm supervisor..."
"so."
As Lu Yibei spoke, he parked the car in front of his house.
At this time, the older women were already asleep, so Lu Yibei didn't disturb them. Instead, he sent a WeChat message to let them know he was back, and then the two went straight up to the third floor: "After I went to buy milk tea, what did Shen Jingyi talk to you about?"
Ji Qingqian sat down on the sofa in the living room on the third floor, and the soft sofa trembled a few times.
Her clear black and white eyes darted around:
"...Hmm~ Jingyi told me not to tell you, it's a secret between us girls~"
"Tsk, what a troublesome thing..."
"Besides, didn't you go to buy milk tea so that Jingyi could chat with me privately?"
Lu Yibei sat down next to his girlfriend.
His girlfriend then nestled comfortably in his arms.
Lu Yibei smoothed her hair and smiled:
"The Calmness Instrument told you not to tell me, not that it really told you not to tell me."
Ji Qingqian: ...?
"She wanted me to pretend I hadn't heard about it."
Lu Yibei laughed and said, "In fact, she chose to tell you because she wanted you to pass on the message to me—she simply didn't want to talk to me about it, nor did she want me to mention it to her in the future. This girl has been troublesome since she was little."
Ji Qing's shallow eyes narrowed slightly, showing some displeasure:
"My sister is using me as a tool for forwarding posts."
"…Um…"
Lu Yibei thought for a moment and said, "How about putting it another way, 'a trustworthy bridge to communicate with her scoundrel brother'?
Ji Qingqian's resentment just now was actually feigned; she was still lying limply in her boyfriend's arms.
"You're so good with words, let me taste how sweet your words are."
After saying that, she lightly pecked Lu Yibei's lips, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "...Mmm, so sweet."
"milk tea."
Lu Yibei said seriously, "I added milk tea."
"Then let me tell you about it," Ji Qingqian said.
"Is this girl upset about something again?" Lu Yibei asked.
"Mm." Ji Qingqian nodded.
Lu Yibei shook his head, amused.
"She just doesn't want to act cute with her brother, but she still wants an answer from me. It's really... and she calls others childish. Give me your phone, and I'll pretend it's you talking to her later."
Okay~
Ji Qingqian took out her phone and handed it to Lu Yibei.
He then recounted the troubles of the tranquilization device.
The girl's sorrows were like summer leaves, never-ending.
While listening to Ji Qingqian speak, Lu Yibei typed to Shen Jingyi on the other end of the phone.
"Will she know it was you?" Ji Qingqian asked.
"Of course I know."
Lu Yibei said calmly, "I've known her for seventeen years... but it's okay, I can just pretend it wasn't me who said it."
Ji Qingqian nodded.
Lu Yibei smiled gently at her:
"Sorry, I can't let you pretend to be that kind and caring older sister anymore~"
Ji Qingqian's fair and lovely nose wrinkled slightly, faintly:
"I don't need to pretend, I'm a good older sister by nature."
She kept glancing at the conversation between her boyfriend and his sister on her phone screen.
A moment later, she noticed her boyfriend's growing impatience and the way he was scratching his head in frustration.
"This kid is such a nuisance—"
Lu Yibei couldn't help but complain to his girlfriend.
Ji Qingqian found it funny:
"Then why are you still concerned? Why not just pretend it never happened?"
"Because I'm her brother."
Lu Yibei sighed and said, "It's only natural that she causes me trouble, and I have to be ready to solve those troubles for her at any time."
Ji Qingqian: ...
"But if you don't say it, you'll really be a troublemaker."
Looking at her boyfriend's profile, she felt that he was both mature and youthful.
