Ma Jiaojiao continued to ask:
"So that's why you came back so late... You must have spent some time with your senior there, right?"
Ji Qingqian didn't hide anything, and simply hummed in agreement.
"Did your senior bring you the juice too?"
"Um."
Actually, it wasn't really, but Ji Qingqian felt it would be a bit troublesome to explain. Since she had already drunk it, she decided to just consider it as something that Abei had brought for her.
Anyway, Ah Bei won't have any objections~
Chu Chu forcefully poked at the rice with her chopsticks, looking indignant.
"Why do I feel like I've become part of your Prey team?"
"I won't bother with you next time," Ji Qingqian said.
"I was wrong!" Chu Chu apologized.
"I was wondering why my senior always comes over when it's hottest."
Wang Jue whispered, realizing Lu Yibei's gentleness: "So he was worried that Qingqian wouldn't be able to adapt at that time..."
"That was incredibly precise, such a brilliant move."
Ma Jiaojiao was impressed; it was no wonder he won the favor of this ice queen.
Ma Jiaojiao didn't say these words aloud, otherwise Ji Qingqian would have felt a little embarrassed.
In every sense... it was actually Ji Qingqian who wanted to win Abei's favor.
Chu Chu glanced sideways: "You're envious? Speaking of which, compared to Senior Lu, your senior hasn't even come here many times..."
Ji Qingqian interrupted, "No, that's not right."
Chu Chu realized she had misspoke and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Jiao Jiao, I didn't mean it that way."
She and Ma Jiaojiao are used to bickering, so she accidentally said something like that.
In fact, Chu Chu knew that it was wrong to gossip behind people's backs, and it was even more immoral to compare female friends' boyfriends.
It can easily affect their relationship.
Ma Jiaojiao, however, didn't care.
“People have different ways of getting along. Senior Lu has his gentleness, and my senior has his unique qualities. Besides, so what if my senior is not as good as Senior Lu? I'm not as good as Qingqian either.”
She chuckled softly, her words devoid of any sarcasm, brimming with sincerity: "I am envious, but it's something you can't force."
After finishing their meal, the group returned to their dormitory together.
Chu Chu took a nap in the infirmary and recovered fairly well, so she planned to persevere a bit more in the afternoon.
"After all, military training ends the day after tomorrow..."
Chu Chu said that although he would not achieve anything, "giving up at the last moment would be quite meaningless."
"Shall we have training in the morning the day after tomorrow?" Ma Jiaojiao asked. "Just a marching formation and that's it?"
"Mmm." Ji Qingqian nodded, climbed onto the bed, took out her tablet, and plugged in her headphones.
"There's evening training tomorrow," Chu Chu said. "I don't know what we'll be doing."
Jiangnan University's military training does not include nighttime activities, except for tomorrow.
"I heard from the senior students that it's just some small games and stuff. Because we're short on time the day after tomorrow, we won't have time to say goodbye to the instructors properly, so tomorrow night is basically the time to say goodbye," Ma Jiaojiao said.
Wang Jue whispered, "So time really flies."
Chu Chu was taken aback: "It really is..."
At first, I felt that fourteen days of military training was too long, but now that I've persevered to the end, it really feels like it's all happened in the blink of an eye.
Time is a simple thing; it never goes fast or slow.
But it's hideous, and you never know when it will quietly slip away.
"Wow, that was fast!"
Chu Chu sighed, "Thinking about it now, four years of university will seem like a long time, but when we look back after graduation, won't we all feel the same way? Time waits for no one, and youth is fleeting... Hey!"
Chu Chu was about to praise herself for uttering such profound philosophical words when she turned around and looked at the screen.
Ji Qingqian was looking at her tablet, while Wang Jue and Ma Jiaojiao were huddled together staring at the computer screen, completely ignoring her.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Chu first moved closer to Ma Jiaojiao.
“I’m worried,” Ma Jiaojiao said.
Chu Chu:?
“The Dangerous Thing in My Heart,” Ma Jiaojiao said in full.
It's an anime about falling in love.
Chu Chu glanced at it only once and said disdainfully, "How old are you to still be watching cartoons?"
If a newcomer to the world of anime and manga heard Chu Chu's evaluation, they would definitely argue with her.
But Ma Jiaojiao is a seasoned second-in-command, and she can only respond with "Oh yes, yes, that's how it is in our private studio."
Then Chu Chu walked to Ji Qingqian's bedside and tilted her head back:
"And you?"
Ji Qingqian took off her headphones: "What?"
"What are you looking at?"
Chu Chu felt that a cold and aloof goddess like Ji Qingqian would probably watch more mature movies. She watched on her iPad, and although the picture wasn't very clear, she could at least confirm that the picture quality was good and that there were real people on screen.
"The ultimate battle, the Belial Galactic Empire," Ji Qingqian said.
Seeing that Chu Chu looked confused, she explained, "Ultraman movie."
Chu Chu:…
She obediently withdrew.
Each one is more outrageous than the last!
However, having nothing else to do, she eventually sat down on the other side of Ma Jiaojiao, fiddling with her phone while glancing at the cartoon Ma Jiaojiao was playing.
She couldn't help but scoff.
I really don't understand what's so interesting about these two-dimensional characters.
She's nowhere near as sexy as the oppas and unnies she likes.
How childish.
Ma Jiaojiao and Wang Jue are really something, they're both adults and they still like watching this kind of stuff.
...Hmm? ...Ugh...Eh?
Chu Chu glanced at it once, then twice, then once more.
…take another look.
Time passed quickly.
“…Let’s go.” Ma Jiaojiao said to Wang Jue, “It’s almost time to assemble—Ji Qingqian, let’s go!”
"Okay." Ji Qingqian replied, then tossed the iPad aside, sent Lu Yibei a message about going out to meet, and then jumped off the bed.
