Liu Manyun secured an exchange student spot at Peking University and moved into the dormitory. She would visit Lu Qing almost every morning, bringing him breakfast, milk tea, or snacks, even more frequently than Gu Xicheng.
When Lu Qing and her colleagues were carrying measuring instruments to conduct experiments, she would do her best to help them.
This move left everyone else completely bewildered.
"Qingqing, who exactly is she? Why is she following you around all day long?"
Lu Qing sighed helplessly.
"Don't worry about her. Let her do whatever she wants. If she thinks the equipment is too heavy, she can just carry it."
Just then, Liu Manyun came running over, panting and covered in sweat, carrying the equipment.
"Idol, where should we put this?"
Lu Qing pointed to the library entrance: "Move it upstairs."
"Okay!"
Liu Manyun was panting, clearly exhausted, but she still obediently carried the equipment over.
There's a very high flight of stairs in front of the library; just climbing it is tiring enough, let alone carrying instruments weighing 20 or 30 kilograms.
Liu Manyun moved for several days without uttering a single complaint.
Looking at her retreating figure, Lu Qing felt a little guilty.
Just then, Liu Manyun stepped on a banana peel, slipped, and the equipment on her back caused her to fall backward.
Lu Qing quickly dodged and grabbed her, preventing her from tumbling down the steps.
Are you alright?
Everyone else also gathered around.
Liu Manyun breathed a sigh of relief, and as Lu Qing helped her up, she patted her chest with lingering fear.
"That scared me to death!"
Liu Manyun had scrapes on her arms and legs, but she still smiled and said to Lu Qing:
"Idol, thank you so much! Thanks to you, otherwise I would have fallen."
Lu Qing frowned slightly, then took out a first-aid kit from her bag to treat her wound.
"It's my fault for letting you move the equipment by yourself."
Lu Qing let Liu Manyun carry such heavy equipment by herself, hoping to discourage her from following her anymore. Unexpectedly, she persisted for more than a month without uttering a single complaint.
During this time, Liu Manyun spent time with them sunbathing and staying up late together, and Lu Qing saw all of this.
Now that Liu Manyun was almost injured, Lu Qing felt bad about it.
But Liu Manyun interpreted Lu Qing's words as another attempt to get rid of her, so she quickly stood up:
"Idol, I'm okay! It was just an accident!"
"Look, I'm perfectly fine. Please don't send me away, okay?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but chuckle: "Who said I was going to kick you out?"
Liu Manyun was taken aback, then asked with delight, "You're not going to kick me out?"
Lu Qing pulled her back to sit down and continued treating her wound, saying as he did so:
"You can come if you want, just don't cause any trouble!"
Liu Manyun nodded repeatedly, her face full of a worthless smile:
"Thank you, idol! You've finally stopped chasing me away! Don't worry, I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"
Lu Qing looked at her and smiled helplessly.
"Alright! We need to do the experiment now. You should sit down and rest for a bit!"
As everyone carried the instrument upstairs, just as they were about to begin the final measurement, a fragment fell out when they opened the box.
"Oh no! The locator is broken!"
"It must have been because the box wasn't completely stuffed into the foam when it was put in yesterday, and it broke when it fell."
Upon hearing that the instrument was broken, Liu Manyun quickly stepped forward to apologize:
"Idol, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault, I should have protected the equipment better!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What's it to you? This wasn't your fault in the first place!"
Cheng Yiyi: "Qingqing is right, it was just an accident, don't blame yourself so much!"
Leng Wei: "If it breaks, we can just buy another one, it's fine!"
Yang Xiwen had already picked up his phone to search where he could buy the equipment.
"Positioning devices are usually used on construction sites and are shipped directly from the factory. This device belongs to the school, and we probably can't buy it outside. But it seems to be a little damaged from being dropped, so it should be repairable."
"Then who should we ask to fix it? The teacher isn't at school anymore."
Yang Xiwen thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead:
"How could I have forgotten about him!"
“My former neighbor uncle owns a construction company, so he should be able to find someone to fix it. I’ll call him now.”
Yang Xiwen quickly took out his phone and went to the side to make a call.
Not long after, she returned with a smile:
"It's all set! We can take the equipment and go to the construction site to find him now."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
In an attempt to make amends, Liu Manyun was about to lift the heaviest piece of equipment when Lu Qing stopped her.
"Your hand injury has just been treated, so don't lift it, otherwise I'll have to treat it again."
"I'm so sorry, idol!" Liu Manyun still felt guilty.
Lu Qing patted her shoulder:
"Alright! Instead of blaming yourself, why don't you drive us there? None of us can drive."
Liu Manyun's eyes lit up: "Me too?"
“That’s right! Otherwise, who would drive?” Lu Qing laughed.
Liu Manyun almost burst into tears.
There are five people here, but a taxi can only seat four people. Splitting them into two groups is not cost-effective, and she thought she would be left behind.
"Waaaaah!"
Liu Manyun couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, hugging Lu Qing tightly.
"Idol, thank you for not abandoning me!"
Lu Qing pushed her away with a look of disgust: "Don't wipe your snot on me."
Cheng Yiyi handed over a tissue: "Hurry up and wipe yourself!"
"Thank you! It's true that everyone who's with my idol is a good person!"
Liu Manyun choked back tears as she wiped her nose.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her.
Although Liu Manyun is a few years older than them, she sometimes really acts like a child.
Liu Manyun drove, and Yang Xiwen navigated. Soon, they arrived at a construction site.
A young man wearing a hard hat was standing at the entrance of the construction site. When he saw a car approaching in the distance, he quickly ran over.
Yang Xiwen got out of the passenger seat, and upon seeing the man's face, her eyes lit up with surprise and delight:
"Xiang the Turtle! What are you doing here?"
"Brother Wen, it's been so long, why are you still calling me by my nickname?" Xiang Shenghui said with a helpless smile.
"Didn't you say it would take five years to come back from abroad? How come it's so soon?" Yang Xiwen asked with a smile.
Xiang Shenghui looked at her, his eyes full of smiles:
"Of course it's because I'm too smart, too talented, so I graduated early and came back."
"Sure! So what are you doing now?" Yang Xiwen asked.
Xiang Shenghui: "I came back to help my dad. He's been living alone for the past few years while I was abroad. No one helped him with anything, big or small. It's time for me to fulfill my duty as a son."
Yang Xiwen nodded slightly: "That's true! It really wasn't easy for Uncle Xiang to raise you all by himself."
"Xiwen, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"
From the moment Xiang Shenghui met Yang Xiwen, Leng Wei's gossip-loving spirit was already burning.
Yang Xiwen's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled:
"Don't get me wrong, this is my younger brother. We grew up together and are best buddies. It's not the kind of relationship you're thinking of!"
